STUDENT ROSTER PLANS ARE MADE
t’verytliin^ ytx* want to kn*w about anything on the .campus may soon appear in book form if the plans of the Studezit Roster Committee are put through. Heading this wmmitt^e is Arnold Eddy, assistant general manager of the Associated Student Body, who is assisted by Monte .Lindmoe, president of the Pharmacy Studest Body.
The purpose of the book will be to give the students all the information concerning the different student or-
Moving to its new building Tuesday, the Southern California School of Law wiil add 235 students to the roster of campus colleges.
The trek to the campus has already begun. Books from the law library have been sent to the new library and are now being stacked. Chairs, tables and desks are scheduled to arrive Thursday and the final articles necessary for conducting classes will all be in place in time for the.first class on Tuesday morning.
Dean Frank M. Porter of Law states that the move to this campus climaxes a long period of work to- unite the School of Law with the campus colleges. For fifteen years it has been located in the Tahoe Building, First and Broadway, and has long been a standard example of the non-unified condition of the university.
The new building, which was started June 12, has been completed, at a cost approximating $1GQ,000. October 15 was originally set as the date for completion, but delays were occasioned in the construction work which made this imposs/ible. Workmen are still sweeping and cleaning tihe floors, but all work except painting will be finished by Tuesday.
Plans for external beautification of the building include the removal of trees now in the parkway and .the planting -of black acacia to replace them. A new sidewalk will be constructed1 .on both the North and West sides of the building.
That the new .building will be one of the .finest and best arranged law edifices in the state Is ihe belief of Dean Porter. Just inside the entrance is a large.lobby with a fireplace at one end, and from this lobby stairways lead to clast; rooms and to the library balcony, which will be used for study. The stock room and main study, room sof the library is on .the first floor.
Schedule of classes of lair students Trill be somewhat different from that of regular liberal arts students. Because Il is not necessary to gosfrom one building .to another, the periods are only fiftyrfive minutes iin length instead of sixty nainutes Instead ofaUf ing the system of semesters, Lais School uses a qnaterly.system. In addition to regular dail\ classes., there is a night ivchocL

From the inner sanctum of Thomas Wampus comes the sad news that Tommy has not entirely recovered from the free-for-all fights and the bloody tug of war of which he was the central attraction one month past Up until yesterday his physicians and trainers held hopes that he would be ready to participate in college life anew on Thursday of this week, but because of his relapse he will not appear until Tuesday, the third of November. The silver lining that is in every cloud shows itself in this situation in that Tommie will have more time to have his claws re-burnished and will absolutely clutter up the campus on the aforementioned date or money back.
Grady Setzler, trainer de luxe to his royal highness Thomas Wamp, announces that the old boy has had his internal equipment entirely renewed and fortified by ten more illustrators and fifteen more contributors than had j the previous number, and will take the campus by storm at an early hour. It behooves all who desire to partake of Thomas’ delightful wisdom and fit* provoking humor to dig down into the old sock and arm himself with one two-bit piece with which to take the offensive in the mad scramble for Tommy’s favor.
To satisfy the curious throng upon the campus. The Old Timer’s Number will announce the prize winners in Wamp’s epoch making contest. Two pages will be given over to a clever layout of the prize winner and the five honorable mentions. According to the judges and se.veral critical outsiders who have read the proof and have been exposed to the thirty-odd ink scorching cartoons, this number is by far the cleverest mess ever brewed in the Wampus still.
To further enhance Tommy’s charm, iu obtaining jmn to forward the pro- the staff will be announced in the gran’, of education which is being tyeld; coming issue, the second installment

Plans for the enlargement of Bovard Field are going forward, and it will be only a short time now before they are put into execution. It is proposed to extend the field and add several new facilities for the promotion of Southern California sports.
According to Gwynn WUson, the space which was formerly occupied by the old Architecture Building is to be cleared and leveled off. On this ground will be located a regulation baseball diamond and a quarter-mile { track. It is planned to remove the
! fence on the south side of historic old
1
i Bovard Field and include the new ad-
I
i dition, together with the original enclosure, inside of one fence. This last change, however, will not be made until the close of the present football se’ason, as the fence will be needed as a barrier to keep out the curious during secret practice.
Before the gridiron season ends, the new addition will be put in readiness so that no time will be lost ,after the final football game, in putting the finishing touches upon the project.
The new tennis courts, which were originally supposed to be placed upon this same cleared space, will be built across the street, thus giving more room for the baseball diamond and track.
The new plans, according to Wilson, also call for the rearrangement of the present practice field. After the present season, the grid'iron will be laid out on a north and south line, instead of on an east and west line, as it is now. By making this change, there will be enough room for two gridirons where there is now space for but one.

USSERS GUIDE IS DISCONTINUED
“There will be no Fussers Guide this year,” states Ed Murray, editor >f hte El Rodeo. “The cost of the ;uide is about five hundred dollars, rhich we consider a useless waste of loney. Very few people refer to it, jut if the necessity of having the malarial contained in the guide should trise, such material can be found in he registrar’s office.”

“The Enchanted Cottage,” the play to be presented by the underclassmen on Nov. 11, is now being rehearsed daily under the direction of Miss Tacie May Hanna, of the School of Speech.
As the plot of the play is related to the late war, Armistice Day was selected as the appropriate date for the production.
The Pinero play brought forth much new talent in the tryouts, and it w'as the regret of Miss Hanna that everyone who tried out could not have a part, as every student showed good dramatic possibilities.
Sir Arthur Pinero’s “Enchanted Cottage” is considered by many critics to be one of the best plays slated for campus production this year, and is equally as good, if not better than “Smilin’ Tru,” the *underclass play last year.
Ellsworth I^oss, play production manager, says, “The play will no doubt be a success as some of the best drarn-
aticians on the campus have been se- find the talk of great interest and lected for the leads in the Pinero electrical engineers especially should play.”
