“BALLOONATICK” ON PROGRAM FOR WHITTIER GAME RALLY
Buster Keaton May Appear In Person At Showing of His <	Laugh Producing Photoplay
Today
Buster Keaton, film comedian, may tread the halls of U. S. C. in person at the regular rally period today. But even If the laugh-provoker cannot be here himself, his film, “The Balloonatick,” will be presented at that time, according to Don Cameron, chairman of the rally committee.
“This is just a trial,” Mr. Cameron explained. “The rally committee feels that the student body might like a change in the usual Friday program. This is something entirely new in the way of entertainment here. If it succeeds arrangements will be made to show other films at different times during the
year.” “We can’t promise Buster Kea-C- 1 "■■■	-

and ke expect it to go over big.”
Bob Green is responsible for getting the moving picture which will be presented through the courtesy of the Buster Keaton Studio.
Just what a “Balloonatick” is and just how one gets that way will be revealed at the regular ten o’clock rally period today. It will be over in time for eleven o’clocks and the committee expects the faculty section to rock with the jubilations of a large crowd.
COUNCIL MEN HEAR TALK BY DR. HILL
“Painted Gods’ is the Subject of Weekly Dinner Discussion At Y Hut
“Painted Gods” was the subject of a talk ^nade by Dr. John G. Hill, of the U. S. C. department of Biblical History, at the regular weekly dinner of the U. Y. Council Wednesday evening. He based his talk upon his experiences and revelations in the art galleries of Europe and Asia during a tour of those countries.
While traveling about with a party of Americans, Dr. Hill was permitted to enter many of the pagan and Christian shrines of the older countries and gain firsthand knowledge of the religious conceptions wfliich men have developed throughout the ages. Dr. Hill was particularly impressed with the portraits of the Norse god, Thor, the French and German gods, and the Italian and other conceptions of the Christ and Hebraic religious characters. “It is interesting to note the change in the type of god worshipped in those countries as civilization has progressed. The gods which were worshipped in the very early days were pictured as having bolts of lightning coming from their hair, flames of fire leaping from hand. The older peoples worshipped anything weird or cruel; they believed their gods to be terrible and jealous,” he said. In Italy he saw the first painted conception of the Deity as being a calm and gentle personality. He was particularly impressed with the famous “Christ in the Manger” which hangs in a German chapel.
It Is the plan of George Jordan, chairman of the program committee, to begin the dinner promptly at 5:30
DANCE COMMITTEE
Thanksgiving Motif Carried Out In Soph Event; Freshmen Invited
Marjorie King and 'her Sophomore dance committee have promised a real party as a treat prior to Thanksgiving vacation. The date has been set as Wednesday, November 26th.
Zetta Jtipey, Al. Chase, Gladys Lee and Dick Allen are the quartet appointed to gather the corn husks and raid pumpkin fields in endeavoring to give the atmospheric effect.
Food and thirst qquenching liquid will be looked after by Kathleen Campbell, Beth Baker, and Percy Wallace.
Steve Fargo is to be chief selector of programs. A very unique kind is being kept a dark secret by those he has taken into his confidence.
Posters and art work advertising the party will be in the custody of Ruth Ixiftus.
The Sophomore class has issued a formal invitation to the Freshman in whose honor the dance is being given. This affair gives promise of being one of the cleverest parties staged by any class so far this year.
POWER OF PRESS HIGHLY STRESSED

“The chief function of the common people is to produce uncommon people,” Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University declared yestetrday, in a plea for leadership in the press. His address was delivered in the Junior City Room in Journalism to the assembled students of the School of Journalism.
“Personal leadership,” he affirmed, “gives to public opinion an emotional appeal which requires, plus the human element of contact, admiration, support and sympathy.” The power of the printed word is enormous, President Butler maintained, decrying the credulousness of the public in implicitly crediting the interpretation which the press gives to the occurences of the day.
“The public is apt to believe the printed word, and to accept the individual who presents himself to it at
All Dental and Law Alumni golfers are urged to get In touch with the chairman of the tournament committee at once and make him acquainted with their desire to participate in the contest.
There have been several changes in the personnel of the sub-committees, the most important at this time being the chairman of the golf tournament committee which was formerly headed by Dr. L. E. Ford. At his own request, Dr. Ford has been replaced as chairman by Dr. Fred Schildwatcher.
Herbert Freston is still on the committee and will also receive the names of those wishing to enter the tournament.
A second change was made when R.
C. Lane was placed at the head of the parade committee.
A scheduled meeting of the sub-committees handling the details of the affair is to take place in the near future and it is believed that following this meeting definite announcement can be made of all the detailed features of the program.

While the golf tournament is in progress at the Country Club, fraternities and sororities of the campus will hold open house for all the Alumni, their families and friends. Other events now planned to celebrate the first day of the home-coming include Women’s and Men’s football dinners, a huge rally, a dance. Other celebrations will undoubtedly take place following the dance, but these cannot be classed with the work of the program committee.
Saturday, December C, of course will bring the U. S. C.-Syracuse game, which will be preceded by the class registration of the Alumni, the parade of floats and in the evening: the Senior dance which will conclude the first Annual Home-Coming day of the Alumni of the University of Southern California.

Will you be among the revelers who are going to celebrate the U. S. C victory over Syracuse at the Senior dance in the new Basket Ball Pavilion? Tickets are now on sale and the number is limited, according to Johnny Woods, dance chairman.
That this dance will not be throttled by the clammy fingers of formality, is the determination of the committee. A regular college dance with collegiate music and college pep—no imitation of the artificial mirth and jollity of the “four hundred” held in gilded halls with tuxedos and “formals” much in evidence.
“Other universities nave long utilized their gymnasium as a center of social recreation with great success, and now the Seniors of LT. S. C. are going to demonstrate that the logical center for University enthusiasm is a spot on the campus and that spot is the Basket Ball Pavilion,” said George Orme. Senior president, in a recent interview.
The music will be the best attainable. “Teasin, tautalizin’ syncopation, the kind that peps up the wallflowers,” is what Bud King’s orchestra has promised.
Among other features of home-coming day the Senior dance is by no means the least. What is it lingers longer in the mind of the old grad than the memory of a successful dance? Was it the stilted formal or the peppy informal that gave the old college thrill? Nine chances to one that the most pleasant recollections wdere of the party when shirts weren’t hard boiled and collars of the winged variety.
The alumni then will no doubt look forward more to renewing memories of their college dances than to a parade which can be excelled any day by some outside organization.
The tickets which cost two dollars are now on sale at the ticket window in the Co-op Book Store, at the ticket window' in the South Arcade and at the Alumni office.
CHEMISTRY ESSAY CONTEST NOW ON
Undergraduates Having Interest In Chemistry Are Eligible to Compete For Prize
By CARROLL HOULGATE Fighting mad from their 13-0 defeat at the hands of Pomona’s fast stepping eleven last Tuesday, Coach Perry’s Quakers will take the field at the Coliseum next Saturday against the Trojans in a game that should offer sixty minutes of real football. The last start of both teams ended In defeats and while Henderson’s bunch are heavy favorites, victory is not out of Whittier’s
C reach.
From the way Pomona tore the Quaker line to shreds. Riddle, Earl and Heiser should have a big day. The Whittier forwards will be outweighed by any combination Henderson chooses to start. This is startling in view of the fact that the Poets, are credited with the heaviest line in the Southern California Conference. Until they failed to stop the demon smashes of Borey Bell, Pomona full, Perry’s line was touted as one of the best in the west. Henderson will probably let a make-shift line start the game. Phythian and Dorsey at ends. Friend and Anderson at tackles, Gorrell and Hershberger, guards, and “Holly” Adame in center seem to be the logical ones.
While nothing in the way of plays will be held back, Henderson is taking no chances of injuring any more of (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE)
COMMERCE DANCE SCHEDULED FRIDAY
Affair is Open to All Pre-Commerce and Metropolitan Students
A novel type of program, in the form of checkbooks, will be a feature of the Commerce Dance scheduled for next Friday evening at the Playhouse, 940 So. Figueroa street.
The programs, which go on sale today, are counterparts of the well-known instrument of commerce, complete with fold, stubs and individual checks for each dance. They may be purchased at the ticket desk of the Students’ Book Store, the Commerce office, and from members of the Commerce Club Executive Committee. Students of the Metropolitan College can obtain their programs from the downtown branch of the Students' Book Store in the Transportation building. F>rice, a dollar fifty per couple.
In the past Commerce dances have been confined largely to members of the Commerce Club, but a changed situation makes a more expansive policy desirable. The position of Pre-Commerce students as a distinct group on the campus, and the rapid growth of the Metropolitan College, has inspired a desire to bring the student body of the School of Commerce into closer relationship with these groups.

Refined Rough House For All U. S. C. Women Tuesday Night
By BETH BAKER
Better than a circus and as funny a3 the Wampus, is the way the Hi Jinks which is to come off next Tuesday night In the woman's gym, have been described by those who know what is already up the sleevex>f the program manager, Mary Langan.
Is your room-mate grouchy? Try this, advise the pronioterg of the lowbrow- entertainment, the only thing elevating part of which is its name. Take (her to the Hi Jinks at the gym, next Tuesday, and if she doesn’t snap out of it ,or into it, then the only thing left to do is to instruct the florist to prepare the wreaths.
Hi Jinks is the nearest approac/h of the semester to a ladylike, yet refined, rough-house, at which natural and acqquired feminine humor is given full expression.
Lest some co-eds who have never before attended the campus explosion
of wit and humor annually perpetrated in the phys ed barn, attendance limited to women only, the fact is again stressed that all those taking part in the program and also those not taking part in anything more important than the mob scenes are expected to come dressed in costume garb.
It is realized, with great sorrow by
