BALLY GOAillTEE
Undisclosed Novelty Will Feature Assembly on F riday
With the first game of the season j coming up Saturday, the rising enthu- ^ siasm of the whole student body be-1 hind them, and the best program the :
rally committee could procure, the; assembly Friday will be a memorable j send-off for the 1925 football season. Zest has been added to the program by the announcement that a big surprise will feature the morning’s exorcises. Its nature would not be disclosed by Sam Gates, chairman of the committee, but it will be a catchy nov elty, guaranteed to hold the interest
of every Trojan.
Dr. James McCoy, eminent orthodontist, has been procured as speaker of the day. Dr. McCoy is an alumnus of Southern California Dental College and has been popular as a clover speaker with the students both before and since his graduation.
Burdette Henney will lead in yell practice. He has been laying careful plans during the past week, and since this will be the last practice before the game, he urges every student to perfect himself in his execution. Freshmen and others who are at ali dubious are to bring their handbooks to the rally.
The personnel of the committee is follows: Sam Gates, chairman Kathleen Campbell, secretary; Pail Welch, Martha Wiggett, George Jordan, Art Syvertson, Eleone Truitt and Ormond Greer. Ex-officio members are Don Cameron, student body president; Evalyne Ross, president of Amazons; Walter Hodgson, football manager; Burdette Henney, yell leader; Burke Long, president of Trojan Knights, and Harold Roberts, director of the band, with Roswell Allison serving as his alternate. Ormond Greer and Pari Welch have been appointed a committee to see to the decorating of the goal posts before every game.
ance with and knowledge of every member of the squad. Yell Leader Henney wishes to take this opportunity to urge more candidates to try out. He feels that there are a iarge number of eligibles who, as yet, have not announced themselves. The tryouts will be absolutely impartial and the best two candidates will place.
According to Henney, he intends to depart somewhat from the established custom, for he considers that the yell leaders should work for the rooters and not vice versa. He intends to establish the rooting section on an organized working basis, not on a play
one. Realizing the Varsitys need ol the support of the rooting section, he feels the section should co-operate with the yell leaders to the extent of urging on the Varsity or its members for the Varsity’s sake, and not for the sake of giving vent to mass emotions alone. In this respect he suggests that the ■ yell leader fill one of the qualifications set down by Kipling in
his famous poem “If/* namely, “If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs.”
For the benefit of the “Co-Eds” Hen-* ney would like to establish a “Co-Ed” section. He feels that high-pitched voices blend well with the deeper male voices and at times are more persuasive. •
All prospective candidates should get in touch with Burdette Henney immediately and feceive instructions for the tryouts. Any student who feels that he can fulfill the requirements should do this now.

University Women’s Club is Responsible For Success of Dormitory
The formal opening of the new Southern California Women’s Residence Hall is an event of today that has been anticipated w’ith interest by a large number of University friends. The building, which is considered by many to be one of the most completely equipped in the western states, has been secured mainly through the efforts of the University of Southern California Women’s Club, under the leadership of Mrs. R. B. von KieinSmid.
This is but one step, say the University women, toward the building of a greater University, and with the increased enrollment and the consequent greater interest in the organization, more and greater projects will be put into execution.
Special features which go to make up the beauty and completeness of the structure have been contributed Dy various clubs and organizations on the campus. In the main entrance hall one may examine the memorial tile, embedded in the fireplace, which con tains the names of those who have given to the dormitory. The very beautiful set of torches in the hall vvuu the gift of Mrs. William I. Hollingsworth, while Mrs. Sloan-Orcutt is the donor of a pair of andirons which auu to the character of the hall.

GLEE CLUB HOLDS TRY-OUTS TODAY
Sectional Tours Will be Important Part of Club’s Program
Ail men who intend to try out for the Southern California Glee Club must do so immediately. Tryouts have been held both Monday and yesterday, and this aiternoon from 3 to 5 P.M. will be the last day for the trials. Any student registered in the university who can sing is asked to report for a trial. These tryouts are being conducted at the College ot Music, located at Grand and West Adams streets.
The Men’s Glee Club at Southern California is a big thing and it is a great honor for any student to make this organization, according to Leo Cameron, president of the club. The Trojan songsters have a reputation of being one of the finest musical organi-zatiosn in Southern California and their concerts are received by large crowds each year.
All men trying out for this organization must sing a solo, do a little sight reading, and also be able to answer some essential questions regarding music. There will be forty-five men chosen to represent the Glee Club this year. These men will give many local concerts, aside from making some sectional tours. The home concert will be given on the second Friday in February.
Keys are awarded to members of the Glee Club who have, in the opinion of the entire club, done the most for the organization. This year the club is. under the directorship of Horatio Cogswell. H. T. Judson is acting as manager.
The officers of the club are anxious for the various fraternities on the campus to have their men try out for
positions and also to support the Glee Club.

“Trojaneer’’ is Published Sigma Phi Delta Fraternity
According to present indications, this year is to be a banner year foi the S. C. Engineering students, who are still laboring under the tutorship of the Liberal Arts College. Practically all of the last year students who did not graduate are returning to iheir Alma Mater this year, and added to these are the usual freshmen and newcomers who have transferred here and expect to make this their Alma Mater.
The Engineers are well organized and with the various societies co-operating to boost for the same cause, this department bids fair to hold a prominent position on the campus in spite of the fact that their classes are scattered among all the campus buildings.
Yesterday the first edition ol the “Trojaneer” appeared on the campus.
This paper is published under the auspices of the Sigma Phi Delta professional fraternity, and primarily for the engineers, although articles will appear from time to time that will be of interest to others as well. The subscription price is one dollar and a half h°nor giving an exhibition at per year. This paper is only the be-jthe ‘““juration of the new Fullerton

to attend. Many events are being planned, particularly for the entertainment of the new men who come up to the smoker, and for this reason a large crowd is expected to turn out for the event.
Among the things planned for this, the first big engineering event of the W. secretary; Glen year, are short talks by some of tha engineering faculty, a large number of whom are expected to be present. Plans and purposes of the different en* ginering organizations on the campus will be explained, and the officers for the new year will be introduced. There will also be an abundance of good eats and plenty of smokes for all those who desire them.
According to “Boots,” the older men in the engineering department are anxious to get acquainted with the newcomers, and it is for this reason that the freshmen are urged to come up to this stag affair.
The entire smoker is being given under the auspices of Sigma Phi Delta. Anyone who stays away froi-i this big event, say members of the committee in charge, will lose out on . good time and miss lots of helpful iu-formation.	-	• J -
