COLLEGIATE ORCRESJM ft! RALLY
Assistant Yell-Leader Tryouts To Be Held During Assembly.
JONES WILL WRITE FOR NEXT REVIEW
Friday’s rally is expected to be received with great enthusiasm by the student body, according to Sam Gates, chairman of the rally committee. After much effort on Sam’s part, Waring’s Pennsylvanians, of Freshman fame, have consented to play at that time.
Those students who have seen Harold Lloyd in “The Freshman” will remember the peppy musical program offered by the Pennsylvanians in the prologue, and will appreciate another chance to hear their offerings. Waring’s Pennsylvanians are rated as one of the most popular music dispensers among college students.
Yell tryouts and a talk by Raney Draper, former student body president of Pomona College and now a freshman in the S. C. law school, will be the other features of the program. The remarkable reputation made by Draper while at Pomona is an assurance that his talk alone will be worth the effort of going to the rally.
“Carot” Henney tells us that the embryo yell leaders are waxing enthusiastic in their attempt to be a crowd charmer and are primed for the tryouts, Friday morning. Sixteen aspirants will take the stage lor one minute each to demonstrate their ability as sound producers. Popular applause will have a large part in choosing the winner, but the final decision will be left to the Executive Committee. Members of the committee will be distributed throughout the audience to keep a close check on the applause and the psychological effect upon the crowd.
Doors will be kept open until the auditorium is packed to capacity, thereby giving every student ample time to take his or her favorite seat. The rally committee which is responsible for the program and has charge of the assembly is composed of Sam Gates, Kathleen Campbell, Pari Welch, Martha Wiggett, George Jordan, Art Syverston, Eloine Truitt, and Ormonde Grier.
First Group of S. C. Varsity Pictures; Cover in Colors.
Featuring a series ol articles by Coach Howard Jones on his personal experiences in the football world, the second Pigskin Review will be out Saturday, according to Barton Hutchins, editor. The articles by Co^.ch Jones will include tales of Wis experiences while playing end position on the Yale team and also those of his former coaching days.
For the onlooker’s information, the issue will carry pictures of both teams, together with the correct lineup for the varsity and frosh games. As a special inducement to buy, Bart Hutchins also announces that Saturday’s Review will contain the first of a group of pictures of the S.C. team.
The cover, which appeared in black and white last week, will be changed to a colored cut this week. Special arrangements are being made to have a different artistic cover drawn for the publication by a local artist for each issue.
To protect the Review from being copied, plans are being concluded by Manager Stonier to copyright the publication. This protection, if put through, says the edior, will be of great value, for in the past Pigskin Review material has frequently been copied.

SOPHOMORES WILL CHOOSE INSIGNIA
Class To Urge Student Body Authorization of Standard Sophomore Regalia.
The Sophomore Executive Committee will meet today, Thursday, at 2 o’clock, in front of Bovard Auditorium to discuss the Sophomore shirt cr sweater. It is imperative for all the committee to be there, according to Hank Rohr, president of the Sophomore class, and any other Sophomore who is interested is requested to be present. Several suggestions have been received from downtown stores as to the character of the Sophomore insignia this year.
As to the kind of a shirt or sweater which can be worn by either man Qr woman, this statement was given out by Rohr, president of the Sophomores: “This year the Sophomore class has decided to adopt the shirt or sweater which both men and women can wear. On account of the criticism directed at the former lumberjack shirt, a decided change is needed.”
Further on this question Rohr said: “It would seem a good idea for the student body to authorize some official insignia for the Sophomore class, such as California and Stanford, that is the blue shirt and the Cardinal insignia. ,
‘‘This would save needless discussion and would do away with the many changes which the Sophomore shirt has gone through in its evolution as the insignia of the class.”
In an effort to arouse a spirit of cooperation between students at the College of Music and those on the Liberal Arts campus, a rally will be held today at noon at the Grand avenue college building.
The affair will be featured by songs and yells, and will be in the nature of a get-together rally for Music students and those of Liberal Arts. Don Cameron, student body president, will be present on this occasion and will contribute a speech.
The prime purpose of this rally, according to Burdette Henney, yell king, is to bring about a spirit of unified interest and further the idea of cooperation between the colleges off the campus and the main body of students who are on the campus.
Burdette Henney, Yell King, will conduct the ceremony and plans to solicit the aid of the College of Music in making the S. C. rooting section at all games a banner one.
According to the Rally Committee and Yell King, it is planned to conduct similar rallies at the professional schools. This will make them more a part'of the campus.
The College of Music, numbering over 150 students, will help swell the attendance in the rooting section.

The feature of the Wednesday morning chapel period was an address delivered by Dr. Charles Aked, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church.
Many students will undoubtedly remember his lecture—“The Gospel According to Mark Twain”—which he gave before them in an assembly last spring. Dean Bruce Baxter, head of the Chapel Committee, said of him, “Dr. Aked was one of the best received speakers of the year.”
Dr. Aked opened his address yesterday with the statement, "If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly; for it is better to do a thing badly than not to do it at all.”
“Hamlet, fearing that^such a death might send his enemy’s soul to heaven, refrained from murdering the king when he was at prayer. He sought a more felicitous opportunty. But none came. How many Hamlets are there among us?” Dr. Aked asked. None responded. Dr. Aked added, “Do the best you can in the hour that is upon you.”
“The brave man or woman strives to achieve the impossible. Such a person makes advantages of disadvantages. This is the story of achievement in life.” the speaker continued.
He then cited the towly occupations and apparently hopeless conditions of a number of people who, through personal ambition, by dint of hard labor, et cetera, had wriggled up the slimy heights of fame.
“As illustration,” said Dr. Aked, “the Reservations for the luncheon may be laying of the AtianUc cable was oon-made at the office of the School of Education, 104 Administration Building.
After the luncheon, the group will adjourn to 356 Stowell Hall, where Dr.
Touton will give a brief lecture on the “Selection of a Thesis Subject.” From 1:15 to 2:00 small group discussions will be held with members of the staff of the School of Education.
At the first meeting of the thesis class last Saturday, September 26th, more than forty students were present for preliminary instructions regarding
thesis work, which were given by Dean
\
Rogers.
GRADUATE EDUCATION STUDENTS
Graduate students working for the degree of Master of Arts In the School of Education are meeting for luncheon in the College Team Room at twelve o’clock next Saturday, October 3rd.
Rehearsals for “The Broken Bachelor,” the senior class play, started yesterday. “The Broken Bachelor” is a farce comedy in four acts, previously announced under the tJitle of “She’s Her Own Grandma.” However, the play has been re-titled and it will be presented on December 3rd and 4th as “The Broken Bachelor.”
Some of the major parts of this play have already been selected. The members of the cast in the senior play will be composed of the most talented actors and actresses in the school, including those who are anxious and enthusiastic to display their histrionic ability.
Southern California University has some of the leading college dramati-cians in the west, and much is expected of them iin the coming senior play.
The cast who proved so clever in last year’s biggest stage success, “Seven Keys to Baldpate,” will no doubt be given parts, as they have already proved their ability on the campus. Critics who saw last years’ play acclaimed the performance as the best they had seen in any college west of Chicago. The play production staff was lauded very highly for its fine work. From all appearances “The Broken Bachelor” will prove even a greater success than did “Seven Keys to Baldpate.”
Although the date of the play is still two months away, it was necessary Lo begin rehearsals at once, as “The Broken Bachelor” is an original piece and may have to undergo several structural changes.
Ron Stever, president of the Senior ciass, said yesterday in a speech to the class, “that although the class is pioneering in a new field, we have no doubt of its success, and in all probability, it may establish a new tradition in Southern California.” The students of the class are very much pleased with the progress the play committee is making.
Clare Kaufer, vice-president of the class, has promised to take a part in the play, in spite of her social and executive activities. She has played in class plays as far back as her sophomore year, and is always one of the big hits.
Ellsworth Ross, in charge of the pro duction .announces that there will be a rehearsal of the first act Friday afternoon at three o’clock. Those characters in the first act are asked to please be present.

“Step right up, ladles and gentlemen, they’re going fast.”
These are the words of Ron Stever, president of the class of 1926, when he was asked about the progress of the Senior dance on October 9th. According to Mr. Stever, there are many reservations in ahead of time. The ducats will make their appearance on the campus tomorrow.
The committee in charge has arranged a novel feature in addition to the announced Charleston contest. The feature is being withheld till complete arrangements are made. The Charleston contest will be a new wrinkle in collegiate dances at Southern California. The class of 1926 has always had a dancing contest at their first dance of the year. This Charleston Contest will replace the traditional dancing contest.
Mr. Stever sends a word to the Freshmen of the campus: “The Freshmen are as welcome at this dance as anyone. It will be a good chance for them to get acquainted with the upperclassmen. The class of ’28 has always enjoyed the 1926 functions, too. This is an affair for the whole student body, sponsored by the Seniors.”

impossibility by many that time. Yet it was
sidered an thinkers of done.”
“Build such a character that it will live on after you, even beyond life. You are making your characters now. And if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly,” finished Dr. Aked.
Special music was furnished by Mrs. Weaver, who sang threa^ numbers: “Spring Song of the Robin*’ “Our Little Home,” by Coates, and “Major and Minor.”

SQUIRES DECIDE ON BETTER JNFOHCEMENT
Holding its regular weekly meeting and luncheon, the Trojan Squires met at the Zeta Beta Tau house yesterday at noon. New plans were made whereby the Squires would be able to keep a closer check on the Freshmen on the campus. Stricter enforcement of traditions were advocated.
The Trojan Squires is a new organization at Southern California and have
ATHENA-ARISTO HOLD GATHERING
The joint Athena-Aristo reception, held last night, was considered a great success by those who attended. About one hundred and fifty enjoyed the very novel and original way of getting acquainted. Printed programs were given out, much like dance programs, but with the heading, “Dance Conversations.” All was carried out like a regular dance program, excepting that instead of dancing the couples talked, while the orchestra played softly. The idea was as effective as unique.
An orchestra composed of Agnes Brown, Bertha Brown and Mabel Cunningham played several numbers so pleasingly as to prove to all that a woman’s orchestra may be the equal or superior of any men’s. John McGee ,the president of Aristo, spoke to the men on the value and opportunities given by literary societies to meh interested in such work. Dorothy Cook, Athenian president, gave a welcoming address-to the girls. A guitar solo, rendered by James Kinchloe, was followed by a humorous reading, Ragna Eskil’s “Aunt Harriet’s Night Out” being given by Frieda Fisher. Marion Joplin, an alumnus of Athena, sang a vocal solo. The closing address, given by Dr. von KieinSmid, on the place of literary societies in school life was very well received by the guests.
The guests of honor were President and Mrs. von KieinSmid, Dean and Mrs. Karl Waugh, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Turner, Doctor and Mrs. Allison Gaw, Miss Clara Miller and Dean Mary Crawford.
All students who have season ticket books and desire to sit in the rooting section must secure their seats immediately. According to P. N. Marshall, in charge of the selling of Stanford tickets, today will be the last day that seats in the rooting section will be reserved; commencing tomorrow any student can purchase the few remaining tickets and sit in this section providing they wear the regulation garments.
Tickes to this student rooting section are going fast and there are very few left. The section will hold 2250 students, one-fourth of which are girls. These seats are the best in the Coliseum and are very desirable.
Each S. C. student having a ticket book will be allowed to purchase one rooting section ticket, and two tickets in the student reserve section. As the ticket managers are more than confident that every seat in the Coliseum will be sold out a week before the game, they are more than anxious to prevent any scalping of tickets. No one will be allowed to get many tickets without giving certain evidences that they will be used by himself or friends and that they are not being purchased for the purpose of being resold at a profit. Absolutely no one will be allowed to purchase more than 10 tickets.
In case, all tickets are sold out lot the rooting section, students who still have checks in their books that are redeemable for $1.50 may use them for any other tickets that are left.
UNDERCLASS PLAY TRYOUTS TO START
Freshmen and sophomores who are interested in working into the dramatic life of the campus are welcome to try out for the underclass play, om> been lunctioning since the open-|,"pj10 Enchanted Cottage,” next week,
ing of the fall term. They have been empowered by the Trojan Knights to take care of and enforce all traditions on tiie S.C. campus.
indirectly the Squires are respon sible for keeping up the spirit among the Freshmen. Considering that the organization is newly formed, the work they have been doing and the way they have carried it out has met with the approval of the administration authorities. The members have oeen working diligently and have been realizing results.
The black and white wearers have doubled their efforts to catch persistent offenders. There are numerous i Freshmen who still disobey the regulation oi wearing their Frosh hat. iNo queening is allowed any place on the campus, and this one ruie which has been broken continually wiil be strictly entoiceu from now on.

SENIOR SOMBREROS ADD TO DIGNITY
The Senior sombrero, glorified crown of knowledge which only the high and mighty may wear, has appeared on the campus. The scarcity of them is very noticeable, however, and the men of the class of ’26 do not seem to be responding to the traditional custom with any enthusiasm. Appearances seem to indicate that the Seniors do not approve t>f this tradition, but as yet they have substituted no other more desirable.
According to Ron Stever, president of the class of ’26, every man should respond with a spirit of loyalty to this tradition and make it one which ia really worth while, or else substitute some other tradition which will be better supported than the present one is at this time.
In practically every large college on the Pacific coast sombreros are the official insignia of Senior men. They are worn by them at all times and all underclassmen pay homage and respect to the wearers. Peculiar as it may seem, Southern California is one of the few schools in which the fourth year men do not seem to be in accord with a custom and tradition which has been established for years in practically every western institution of large size.
Some complaint has been made about the purple leather band upon the sombrero, but the color is to be changed to a dark brown as soon as the order for new bands can be filled. Dick Stith states that the sombreros can be purchased at Silverwood’s for either $9.00 or $11.00. The hat with the narrow brim is priced at $9.00, and the wide-brimmed one at $11.00.
according to Miss Tacie Hanna, director. The tryout are to be held in Athena Hall, the exact time to be announced later.
Everyone is to be given a chance, regardless of previous experience, says Miss Hanna, nor will it be necessary to read the play over before the tryouts. The books of the play are hard to get and such a requirement, usually exacted, would not be fair in the opinion of the director. *The different parts are to be cast next week at the tryouts.
“The Enchanted Cottage” was written by Sir Arthur Pinero, and is considered by many critics to be one of the best plays slated for campus production this year, and equally as good, if not better, than “Smilin’ Thru,” the underclass play last year. It is to be given on November 11, and will pro- The number of unemployed has de-vide the opportunity for newcomers to i creased from 450,000 ,the figu.e in the campus to show what they can do ! 1921, to less than 100,000, the latest in the way of stage work.	e available.”
FACULTY MEMBER WRITES ON TAXES
James Mussatti, A.M., member of the history faculty at the University of Southern California, gave his views upon the Italian situation in an article in the California Tax Digest. The contest between Mussolini and the Socialists, and the Mussolini inheritance tax policy, he gave especial treatment.
The aoolit.on of the inheritance tax,” said Mr. Mussatti, “has brought back much of the capital which went abroad alter the war, and has tended to attract capital from other nations.
