RALLY THIS MORNING
Prediction of Big Year for U. S. G. by Newspapers and Alumni
“Southern California's greatest year is at hand.”
On every hand, from the press, from the alumni is heard this prediction that great things are in store for the University of Southern California. It has been said that this is the year for the Trojans to bring the much-coveted Pacific Coast Conference Championship to Los Angeles.
At a recent meeting of the Trojan Club, the nucleus of the alumni clubs all over the slate, the old grads expressed their fy,ith in Alma Mater by pledging themselves as one hundred per cent back of the Varsity.
In spite of these encouraging signs, ; although the sale of student tickets has met wit.'} a degree of success, according to those in charge of the drive, there has been nothing like the co-operation that was expected from the student body.
’"Today is the rally for the Calteck game,” said Ned I^ewis, president of the Student Body. “On tomorrow afternoon tie team plays the first game of the season. Every man and woman in the university owes it to the team to give the season a good send-off.
‘‘There should be a rooting section of several thousand students at every game,” he continued. “The yell king has made plans for elaborate bleacher stunts. It will be impossible to perform these unless there are large turnouts.”
According to Gwynn Wilson, general manager of the Associated Students, the student tickets will go off sale tomorrow at noon. If tickets are not bought by that time students will have to pay the gate price to see the games.
‘This will be one of the biggest years in the history of football.” said Gwynn Wilson. “Our athletic outlook is unusually bright and we want the ! entire student body to support the i team at every game. These tickets j will enable them to do so. Financial- j ly it means nothing, but as a support j to the team it moans everything. In i actual value these books are worth , practically eighteen dollars, but five j dollars has been set as a price in order that every student may purchase one,” he added.
Identitficaion cards must be presented before any tickets wil! be sold. According to Mr. Wilson this is being done in order that only studets and | alumni may profit by it. Sales out-1 side the student body are not desired.
Y	“MIXER" PROVES AID TO TRADITION
Freshmen Catch "Hello - Smile" I Spirit After Last Night's Informal Program
By BETH BAKER
“Hello,” and a broad smile, everywhere you hear and see it. No, it is not a miracle or even a surprise, for this year is “Hello and Smile” year and it is the morniirg after the Y. M.-Y. W. Mixer.
Newcomers on the Trojan campus, a trifle slow to grasp the spirit of the infectious “Hello'* camaraderie, the Frosh who have been taught by their fond mammas not to speak unless spoken to. and never, ne-ver without an introduction, have at least come out of their little shells and ihis morning are peeping out a lively “Hello," for the simple* and all-explanatory reason that they spent the evening last night at the Mixer.
Called informally a Mixer, it was that and then some, for it was there that lowly Frosh and mighty Seniors forgot their respective insignificance and dignity and were “pleased to meet you/’
Judged by the turnout of guests and hosts, the welcome affair last night was one of the most successful Y parties ever staged by the combined efforts of the Y. M. and Y. W. organizations. Credit for the success of the affair goes to Mary Langan, social chairman of the Y. W. C. A. and Roy .Wagner, social chairman of the
Y	M. C. A.
Karl T. Waugb, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, gave the welcoming address
“Southern California Alumni News” has been read by the alumni of the j Trojan institute for the last time, i henceforth all news received by the I alumni will be through a new and bet I ter medium, according to Josephine ’ Clancy, t'he editor of the new alumni i bulletin, which is to be called "The ' Southern California Illustrated News.”
The first publication of the bulletin will be ready for distribution within a week. Four thousand eight hundred copies will be sent over the country to Southern California alumni and will be placed in University and college libraries, and also in Women’s Clubs and University clubs.
In size, the “Southern California Illustrated News” w'ill resemble greatly the Literary Digest. It will be printed on cream paper with brown ink. The cover design is to be a difused focus of a Trojan player rushing forth on the field from the training quarters with the inevitable pigskin under his arm.
The magazine will be issued month- j ly except during the summer months^ i It will contain a resume of all af- ! fairs of interest on the Trojan campus, and will feature a great many photographs of notable Trojans and of life and events on the campus.

A new schedule has been arranged for this most versatile of comedians. Hereafter he will step out before the public view once a month, instead of only once in a white. Mr. Setzler, who is well-qualified for his position, having been Head Assistant Trainer, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, under his redecessor, states that he is putting his protege through a real Jack Dempsey set-up.
“We’ll show you the moving pictures of it—maybe,” he adds. “But we don't need to advertise like a mere heavyweight. We sell out the house in advance.”

about 10 o'clock this morning at Bovard Auditorium when Hank will blend the piping voices of the in-fantae with the more or less husky roars of the old timers by means of a “Big T” that he claims the people over at Caltk will think is a thunder storm.
Only one speaker is on the rally program, and that one is John Hawkins. He will give the how, where and when and who dope on the team. This is Hawkins’ first appearance in Bryan's role and critics claim his impersonation will be worth while.
There will be a congregation of embryo wind-jammers who have aspirations to be assistants to Leather-Lung Hank. The student body will judge the contest.
Gage Christopher, nationally known singer, will lead the singing.
The executive committee of the Junior class have organized a selling crew under the direction of Art Phelps to sell the new song and yell book. The price is twenty-five, cents and they are to be sold in chapel this morning.
The Trojan Knights will be out in force to force the wayward Frosh to wards the chapel so that they may learn to sing and yell, that is, collective yelling.
Ned Lewis yesterday said, “this will be the biggest year U. S. C. has ever had and if the student body will get back of the teams and show a little spirit. Tomorrow will be the first chance they have of showing their pep and it is up to every individual Trojan to see that he is at the Caltek rally.”

Fountain In Student Store Among Los Angeles’ Best
Home made pies that are really home made, and perfect refrigeration without ice are the outstanding features of the new soda fountain of the Co-operative Book Store, according to Harvey Thompson, manager of the fountain.
This soda fountain, which was installed this fall, and which will render prompt serv<Ve of well prepared light lunches to hurried Trojans, has the distinction of being the first soda fountain in Los Angeles with purely mechanical refrigeration. The control of the plant is automatic and the temperature remains uniform and consistent. insuring perfectly preserved food.
“The only ice used at all is the cracked ice necessary for beverages." said Mr. Thompson.
Anoher feature will be electrically toasted sandwiches. A large toaster has been installed and it is planned to duplicate the popular double-decker sandwiches of the downtown sandwich shops at a much more reasonable price. All food at the counter is being prepared by Mrs. Mitchell, experienced tearoom proprietor and domestic science expert.
“The ambition of this soda fountain,” said Manager Thompson, “is to give to the hungry Trojans prompt
large it. Hot lunches are to be served later on. The Ice cream served is Christopher’s and the syrups and fruits are purchased exclusively from the Wholesale Drug Company.
Dean Fiske, manager of the Student Co-operative Book Store, reports that business this year has been unusually fine and thanks the students for their patronage and co-operation. Last Friday more business was handled in the store than in any other previous day in, its history. It has been found necessary to enlist the aid of 14 students for tihe heavy work during rush hours.
A number of students have made it a point to ask for purchase receipts this year in order to present them for rebates at the end of the year. The management wishes to encourage this and specifically requests that students remembret to ask for their receipt.
The book store has added to their shelves a complete line of materials for Freshmen and Sophomore Dental students. This is the first time that dentistry supplies have been carried and is in keeping with the policy of serving the Student Body in every possible way.
“The soda fountain.” says Dean Fiske is in direct pursuance of this
of a receipt for $1, paid into the Senior class treasury.
Not what to do, nor how' to do it, but the money to do it, is the problem which confronts Vice President Marguerite Matson, in this extensive program of Senior events covering the entire first semester and ranging from picnics, dances and weekly snaps to academic events and the presentation of a Senior gift to the University.
Beginning Tuesday and extending over the period of time necessary to extract from the pocket books, flat fat and otherwise, of every member of the largest Senior class in the history of Southern California, the dues campaign wiil be waged by a large committee of Seniors chosen especially for their occult powers of determining how and from whom to demand the lowrly dollar.
Dues Sre always payable to the officers of the class, George Orme, Yale Martz and Marguerite Matson, in case the special committee is unknown to Senior members anxious to contribute to the fund which will be eventually raised .to cover the running and entertainment expenses of the mighty fourth year class.
