Activities for the National Collegiate Players, a prominent national honorary fraternity, has begun this year under the capable leadership of its new officers. The National Collegiate Players were founded in the East some years ago, and has since become the leading organisation of its kind in the en-Ure country. The Southern California Chapter was established last year, and has as its members the leading artists of the campus. To be elected to membership in this dramatic fraternity is considered to be one of the greatest honors one can achieve in dramatic work. Among the present members of National Collegiate Players there are many noted artists who are both na-Uonally and internationally known. As plans are being made this year, the National Collegiate Players fraternity will be one of the controlling forces in dramatic praductions at the ■niversity. Besides this activity, an annual play will be produced, which will be composed of only National Collegiate players sometime in February. Plays produced by this fraternity are considered the best among the colleges throughout the country. At present, negotiations are on foot for some professional activity outside the university, but as yet no arrangement have been definitely made. Selection of membership to the local chapter is made up of the students who distinguish themselves in the his-tronic art from year to year, and who are capable of meeting the entrance j requirement consisting of dramatic I grade points. This system of grade j points differs from that which is used \ at S. C. and is very unique. The officers of the National Col- i legiate Players are; President, Ellsworth Ross; vice-president, Clare Kaufer; secretary, Genevieve Muulli-gan; treasurer, Steven Fargo, and corresponding secretary, William Hogue. The first meeting of the entire fraternity will be held tomorrow evening at 7:30 P. M. registration of all Masons and De Molays. Those in charge of the drive urge that all Masons and DeMolays on the campus, old students as well as newcomers, register at one of the tables which will be provided for the purpose in the main entrance of the Administration Building, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The Masonic Club, founded in the spring of 1924, is trying to bring to the campus as soon as possible a Masonic clubhouse similar to the one erected recently at Berkeley for the use of members of the various Masonic organizations. It is also petitioning Square and Compass, the national intercollegiate Masonic fraternity, and hopes to have a square installed at S. C. before the end of the semester. The chief aim of Square and Compass is to provide a college organization where members of the student body and faculty can meet on equal terms, and the local petiUoners aoint out the value of such an arrangement, inasmuch as a large proportion of Southern California’s faculty and student body are Masons. According to Vernon G. Parsons, secretary, the Masonic Club is endeavoring to unite the Masons of the various colleges of the university and to further the ideals and principles of Masonry. Last year the club held several lively smokers, made particularly interesting by speakers prominent in Masonic circles. Plans for the coming year include a series of noon luncheons to which prominent speakers will be invited from time to time to deliver addresses. The officers also intend to accept numerous invitations that have been extended to the club as a whole to visit various lodges of the city. The dates and meeting places for these affairs will be set later, and will be announced through the Trojan. SPEAKS JOSTUDENIS Orchestra Plays and Dr. McCoy Talks At Grid Rally. CUONIAN-COMITIA PLAN RECEPTION The literary societies Clonian and ComiUa are planning a joint reception to which all the men and women on the campus interested in literary work are invited. The affair is to be semi-formal so that those attending will have every chance to get acquainted. One element of the program is to be kept as a surprise, but the other numbers are to include Mr. Gatone of Comitia, who will play the violin, Gertrude and Marjorie Stephens who will sing, another violin number by Loreen Hurley, and a talk by Glenn Turner, Y. W. C. A. secretary. Programs in pink and green, the colors of both organizations, will be given as favors. The refreshments and decorations will also be carried out in the color scheme. In the receiving line will be Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Miss Clara Miller, Y. W. C. A. secretary, Gertrude Stephens, Clionian president, and Elric Anderson, president of Comitia. Speaking to a packed auditorium. Coach Howard Jones, chief mentor of the S. C. football team, made his initial bow to the student body at Friday’s assembly. Coach Jones expressed confidence with his team, asking co-operation of the student body throughout the present season. Enthusiasm and the ability to fight were stressed by Jones as essentials both for the football player and the rooter on the sidelines. Preceding the talk by Coach Jones, Bill Hatch and his Oakmont Country Club orchestra entertained the stu-student body with the dance numbers which has made this bunch of collegiate players famous over the radio. Orchestras such as this have proven very successful for Friday rallies and according to Sam Gates, head of the Rally Committee, some versatile musical organization will be heard every time it is possible to secure one. A talk was given by Dr. James McCoy, a prominent orthodontist of the city ,on Southern California as it was and as it is now. He also stressed the need of loyalty on the part of student and player alike. Dr. McCoy was introduced by the president of the student body as a Trojan loyal to the core. The remainder of the assembly was turned over to Yell King Henney, who led the students in yells and songs. Miss Reva Hawkins presided at the piano for several of the songs, alternating with the pipe organ. In closing the assembly Don Cameron, president of the Associated Students, urged again the full co-opera-tion of every student for the coming football season. He predicted a very successful year if players and students work together for the honor of their Alma Mater.

STICKERS APPEAR THIS WEEK An entirely new style of Southern California stickers will be introduced to the campus some time this week, according to Sam Gates, chairman of the Rally Committee. The new stickers will be round in shape with a border of cardinal letters on a gold background and in the center will be a gold colored Trijan head on a cardinal background. Transfer paper will be used in the making of the new stickers and will do away with the transparent ones of last year. Also, the U.S.C. will be done away with, and Southern California featured instead. Due to the diligent work of Gwynn Wilson during the summer months, the artistic design on the new stickers was perfected. Plans were made to introduce them at the opening ot the school year, but a delay by the printing company made this impos-sibe. Another innovation on the campus this semester are the new metal designs made to put on the radiators of automobiles and are now on sale at the book store. The design of these is a gold S.C. on a cardinal background with a gold border. There have been three changes in the style of Southern California stickers in the short time they have been used, but the new type will, no doubt, become permanent, said the members of the Rally Committee.

Heading the list is something of an innovation in college courses identified by the rather broad title of “What to Read.” Dr. Mildred Struble is the instructor, dictator, or advisor, as the case may be. She is also conducting a course in “Modern Classics.” Brand new courses in commerce, accounts, finance, credits and collections, Business Law, Real Estate, Money and Banking, Business Speech, Cost Accounting, Retail Hardware Problems, Troffic Management, Purchasing and Stores, Principles of Economics, Economic Geography, Business Correspondence, Business Forecasting, Advertising and Salesmanship, et cetera. “General Zoology,” a subject purported to have been greatly in demand, is now added to the list. It is offered Monday and Wednesday evenings, 6 to 9 o’clock, under the guidance of Dr. Irene McCollock. “Earth History and Evolution,” and “Petroleum Geology,” are more additions to the science department. A non-professional course in “Home Nursing,” under the direction of Grace Hobson, is still another. This gives full university credit and can be applied toward a general secondary teaching credential. “Home Millery,” “Trade Millinery” and “Teacher Training Millinery” are all to be included in the millinery course, in case one cares to know. And finally, evening swimming classes for women are now available. Information regarding the above courses may be secured at the Metropolitan College, U. of S. C.; phone TRinity 1701.

They say that college girls are high-steppers. But what about the kind of wildness that these girls indulge in while they are staying in the new Women’s Residence Hall of S. C., What about lights out at 10:30? No motoring after 8:30 P.M. and none without a chaperone? Dressing for dinner (with paper napkins)? How would that sound in three-inch headlines? There are other provisions in the house rules of the new dormitory, as enforced by Dean Mary Crawford and Miss Rosamunde Bell, house mother, which insure every inmate a thoroughly riotous time. These house rules are rigidly enforced by a system of monitors, and these monitors are all equipped to give any resident co-ed the thrill of her life. Especially if they catch her with the lights burning after 10:30, or one or two little things like that. The night air is bad for young ladies. Therefore S.C. young ladies wiil please be indoors at 8 P.M., astronomy not being a recognized subject on the curriculum. And as late hours are bad for the eyes and ruin the disposition, Wholesale violation of rushing rules as established by Pan-Hellenic, by practically every sorority on the campus, led to the calling of a special meeting of sorority co-eds by Dean Crawford on Friday at which stringent regulations were laid down and adopted. Conversing with rushees on the campus during this week will be absolutely prohibited. This is modified to except the hours when regular rushing affairs are scheduled. Entertaining prospective pledges in automobiles, even when the cars are parked on the campus, is to be considered a break in the new rules as adopted at a hot discussion meeting on Friday when sorority presidents and vice-presidents met with the dean of women to attempt a settlement of the regulations. Pan-Hellenic rules which were given out with date cards soon after regis tration are to be considered null and void, and rushees as well as sorority women are given strict warning by the president of Pan-Hellenic to abide by the newly adopted regulations. Incidents were cited at the meeting where sororities had included men in their forbidden pre-rushing program of dates. Arranged meetings at luncheon hours were made under the guise of chance meetings, it was reported. Further complaint alleged that many sororities had monopolized the time of Freshmen girls by taking them from the campus in automobiles. So great was the violation of the spirit of rushing as laid down in the rules published each semester upon the recommendation of a sorority committee, that more stringent measures were deemed necessary by Dean Crawford. War on secret rushing as it has been carried on this semester was declared by the meeting Friday when the new rules were declared established. Violation will be considered a grave offense, punishable by the withdrawal of rushing privileges for one year. Ignorance of the new rulings will be considered as no excuse, even as ignorance of the printed rules Is held as an inadequate alibi for “rush violations. ‘“Shun Freshman Rushees” was practically the slogan adopted Friday. How to “rush” without “rushing’ will be the problem that will confront every sorority girl during this entire week. } ^ " , CALTECH AND WHITTIER DEFEATED IN OPENING JAMES OF SEASON Coach Howard Jones Leads Pwo Winning Aggregations in Southern California’s Official Season OpeningT Trojans Show Up Well Under Two-game Strain. Opening the 1925 football season with a crashing 74-0 victory over the Whittier Poets and then closing the afternoon by walloping the Engineers from California Tech, the Trojans made a impressive debut and convinced all sport enthusiasts that they will be a factor of real power in national football this year. The first game resembled a marathon more closely than a football gam«L The Trojans made eleven touchdowns and converted all but three. Morton Kaer scored the first touchdown of the season after he and Bob L<»«, aided quite materially by the splendid interference work of Drury and Earle, had marched the ball down the field. Drury converted. Kaer ran 40 yarda for the next score. ~ * Drury next crossed the line, running forty yards after completing a pass from Elliott, who replaced Kaer. For the fourth touchdown, Howard Elliott skipped 62 yards down the field. Another pass to Drury netted the fifth score. Lefebre scored the next and Bill Cook ended the half by counting up the seventh touchdown. The score at the half was 48-0. The second period was almost a repetition of the first. Four more touchdowns were scored in order by Kaer, Lee, LeFebvre, and Cook. Probably the outstanding features were the accurate passing of Elliott, the Kaer to Badgro combination, and the shifty footwork of Jones’ three pivot men, Kaer, Cook and, ElliotL Coach Fox Stanton’s men from the Caltek institution played a much better brand of football in the second game and held the already tired Trojans to the score of 32-0 Successive passes from Kaer to Bad-(CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) SEMESTER’S FIRST WAMP TOMORROW Cat To Sell For Twenty-five Cents; “Innocents Number” Said To Be Good. -h Ex-Dean of Speech Returns From Italy Miss Elizabeth Yoder, ex-dean of the School of Speech, made her sixth trip abroad this summer when she went to Florence, Italy, at the invitation of the Temple Tours Company to lecture to their parties in the galleries and churches o fthe city.

The campus pet is coming forth from its long hibernation tomorrow morning! Shout the glad tidings from the multiple spires of Troy; for the gladsome morning will beam down joyfully within the next twenty-four hours upon the shining coat of the Wampus cat as it prances forth before the eyes of the cheering throngs, while its proud papa, Grady Setzler, watches in unmitigated approval. The famous kitty, long held in leash while it was being groomed for its first public appearance of the new year, can no longer be restrained and is about to make his opening bow. But the animal has fed right royally during its period of training upon the produce of the noblest minds in the Trojan camp, and it can be depended upon to be not only a campus success but also a campus blessing (in disguise). To say that the contents of the new Wampus are of a temperature slightly above normal would be putti»g it rather mildly. No, gentle reader, for after the discerning student peruse this number of the playful cat, he will doubtless cry in amazement, “Is this the animal that the topless towers of Ilium burned?” Wamp will spring forth tomorrow completely equipped to dispel any superabundance of youthful innocence with the frosh may still be cursed after more than two hectic weeks on the Southern California campus. From the front cover, which John Post has adorned with one of those illustrations which, in the parlance of the vulgar mob, is known as a wow, to the handsomely decorated fountain pen ad on the back page the new and completely renovated Wampus is chodk full of sure-fire laugh-manufacturers. Such notorious college wits as Miller, Suski, Harris, Orme, Mackie, Greenberg, Anderson, Wolpe, Burns, Nar witz, McCall, Booth, Talmadge, Wolfe, Baer, Duchowny, Aguilar, and Camp have been the chief trainers of the performing feline, and the results of their instruction will be plainly apparent tomorrow, to all intelligent per-1 sons and freshmen on the campus. And on top of all this, the famous editors of this pleasingly popular public publication, have added the fruits of their magnificently trained intellects to the all-ready plenteous contents. Grady Setzler, chief groom to the glorious quadruped, has modestly announced that there is nothing lacking to make this Wampus complete in every respect. He does admit, however, that there is a cryin gneed for fodder for the next issues. He is sending out the S. O. S. call for anything which aspires to the title of “Humor”; and he adds that all material of this doubtful distinction be placed in the Wampus box by October 6, if the authors thereof wish it to appear in the November number. He also mentions with a groan that advertising will be needed in huge gobs, and all jobbers who wish to supply these gobs should, according to Grady, consult with Gordon Rayburn in the Wampus office any afternoon in the year. Ladies and gentlemen, the Wampus will stroll forth tomorrow, and not even an earthquake will be able to stop its victorious progress. SENIORS CHOOSE CLASS PLAY TITLE ‘She’s Her Own Grandma/' By Ellsworth Ross and Cecil Carle To Be Produced. At a special meething called of the Senior Class Play Committee last week, consisting of Dorothy Davis, Genevieve Mulligan, Selvyn Levinson. Ralph Holly, Don Steven, and Ellsworth Ross, the proposition of the selection of material for the Senior Clasa Play was discussed. Many of the popular present day plays were discussed, including such favorites as “The Fortune Hunter,”-“Just Out of College,” “Rollos Wild Oat,” “Broadway Jones,” “Are You a Mason?” “She’s Her Own Grandma,** “When Knights Were Bold,” and many-other widely known plays. After an afternoon in discussion, the committee finally selected unanimo«»-ly fo rtheir Senior Play to be presented on Dec. 3 and 4, the farce comedy entitled, “She’s Her Own Grandma,’’ an original piece by Ellsworth Ross and Cecil Carle. The play was originally intende dfor professional production in the East, but the play met with such strong favor with the Seniors that the farce comedy has been selected for their presentation. Various parts of “She’s Her Own Grandma” have been cast and rehearsals are scheduled to begin at once. The class of ’26 of Southern California are the pioneers in this particular field in college activities, S. C. being the first and only college in the west coast to produce an original piece of work. The play being written, acted, and produced by Seniors of the university. GYM CLASSES TO COMMENCE OCT. 1 C. P. Nichols, of the physical education department, announces that examinations will be completed by October 1 and that gym classes will commence on that date. All men who are registered in any of these classes must secure their equipment before the frst class is held, or else be counted absent until such time as they get their equipment and locker key.

Heading the list is something of an innovation in college courses identified by the rather broad title of “What to Read.” Dr. Mildred Struble is the instructor, dictator, or advisor, as the case may be. She is also conducting a course in “Modern Classics.” Brand new courses in commerce, accounts, finance, credits and collections, Business Law, Real Estate, Money and Banking, Business Speech, Cost Accounting, Retail Hardware Problems, Troffic Management, Purchasing and Stores, Principles of Economics, Economic Geography, Business Correspondence, Business Forecasting, Advertising and Salesmanship, et cetera. “General Zoology,” a subject purported to have been greatly in demand, is now added to the list. It is offered Monday and Wednesday evenings, 6 to 9 o’clock, under the guidance of Dr. Irene McCollock. “Earth History and Evolution,” and “Petroleum Geology,” are more additions to the science department. A non-professional course in “Home Nursing,” under the direction of Grace Hobson, is still another. This gives full university credit and can be applied toward a general secondary teaching credential. “Home Millery,” “Trade Millinery” and “Teacher Training Millinery” are all to be included in the millinery course, in case one cares to know. And finally, evening swimming classes for women are now available. Information regarding the above courses may be secured at the Metropolitan College, U. of S. C.; phone TRinity 1701.

They say that college girls are high-steppers. But what about the kind of wildness that these girls indulge in while they are staying in the new Women’s Residence Hall of S. C., What about lights out at 10:30? No motoring after 8:30 P.M. and none without a chaperone? Dressing for dinner (with paper napkins)? How would that sound in three-inch headlines? There are other provisions in the house rules of the new dormitory, as enforced by Dean Mary Crawford and Miss Rosamunde Bell, house mother, which insure every inmate a thoroughly riotous time. These house rules are rigidly enforced by a system of monitors, and these monitors are all equipped to give any resident co-ed the thrill of her life. Especially if they catch her with the lights burning after 10:30, or one or two little things like that. The night air is bad for young ladies. Therefore S.C. young ladies wiil please be indoors at 8 P.M., astronomy not being a recognized subject on the curriculum. And as late hours are bad for the eyes and ruin the disposition, Wholesale violation of rushing rules as established by Pan-Hellenic, by practically every sorority on the campus, led to the calling of a special meeting of sorority co-eds by Dean Crawford on Friday at which stringent regulations were laid down and adopted. Conversing with rushees on the campus during this week will be absolutely prohibited. This is modified to except the hours when regular rushing affairs are scheduled. Entertaining prospective pledges in automobiles, even when the cars are parked on the campus, is to be considered a break in the new rules as adopted at a hot discussion meeting on Friday when sorority presidents and vice-presidents met with the dean of women to attempt a settlement of the regulations. Pan-Hellenic rules which were given out with date cards soon after regis tration are to be considered null and void, and rushees as well as sorority women are given strict warning by the president of Pan-Hellenic to abide by the newly adopted regulations. Incidents were cited at the meeting where sororities had included men in their forbidden pre-rushing program of dates. Arranged meetings at luncheon hours were made under the guise of chance meetings, it was reported. Further complaint alleged that many sororities had monopolized the time of Freshmen girls by taking them from the campus in automobiles. So great was the violation of the spirit of rushing as laid down in the rules published each semester upon the recommendation of a sorority committee, that more stringent measures were deemed necessary by Dean Crawford. War on secret rushing as it has been carried on this semester was declared by the meeting Friday when the new rules were declared established. Violation will be considered a grave offense, punishable by the withdrawal of rushing privileges for one year. Ignorance of the new rulings will be considered as no excuse, even as ignorance of the printed rules Is held as an inadequate alibi for “rush violations. ‘“Shun Freshman Rushees” was practically the slogan adopted Friday. How to “rush” without “rushing’ will be the problem that will confront every sorority girl during this entire week. } ^ " , CALTECH AND WHITTIER DEFEATED IN OPENING JAMES OF SEASON Coach Howard Jones Leads Pwo Winning Aggregations in Southern California’s Official Season OpeningT Trojans Show Up Well Under Two-game Strain. Opening the 1925 football season with a crashing 74-0 victory over the Whittier Poets and then closing the afternoon by walloping the Engineers from California Tech, the Trojans made a impressive debut and convinced all sport enthusiasts that they will be a factor of real power in national football this year. The first game resembled a marathon more closely than a football gam«L The Trojans made eleven touchdowns and converted all but three. Morton Kaer scored the first touchdown of the season after he and Bob L<»«, aided quite materially by the splendid interference work of Drury and Earle, had marched the ball down the field. Drury converted. Kaer ran 40 yarda for the next score. ~ * Drury next crossed the line, running forty yards after completing a pass from Elliott, who replaced Kaer. For the fourth touchdown, Howard Elliott skipped 62 yards down the field. Another pass to Drury netted the fifth score. Lefebre scored the next and Bill Cook ended the half by counting up the seventh touchdown. The score at the half was 48-0. The second period was almost a repetition of the first. Four more touchdowns were scored in order by Kaer, Lee, LeFebvre, and Cook. Probably the outstanding features were the accurate passing of Elliott, the Kaer to Badgro combination, and the shifty footwork of Jones’ three pivot men, Kaer, Cook and, ElliotL Coach Fox Stanton’s men from the Caltek institution played a much better brand of football in the second game and held the already tired Trojans to the score of 32-0 Successive passes from Kaer to Bad-(CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) SEMESTER’S FIRST WAMP TOMORROW Cat To Sell For Twenty-five Cents; “Innocents Number” Said To Be Good. -h Ex-Dean of Speech Returns From Italy Miss Elizabeth Yoder, ex-dean of the School of Speech, made her sixth trip abroad this summer when she went to Florence, Italy, at the invitation of the Temple Tours Company to lecture to their parties in the galleries and churches o fthe city.

The campus pet is coming forth from its long hibernation tomorrow morning! Shout the glad tidings from the multiple spires of Troy; for the gladsome morning will beam down joyfully within the next twenty-four hours upon the shining coat of the Wampus cat as it prances forth before the eyes of the cheering throngs, while its proud papa, Grady Setzler, watches in unmitigated approval. The famous kitty, long held in leash while it was being groomed for its first public appearance of the new year, can no longer be restrained and is about to make his opening bow. But the animal has fed right royally during its period of training upon the produce of the noblest minds in the Trojan camp, and it can be depended upon to be not only a campus success but also a campus blessing (in disguise). To say that the contents of the new Wampus are of a temperature slightly above normal would be putti»g it rather mildly. No, gentle reader, for after the discerning student peruse this number of the playful cat, he will doubtless cry in amazement, “Is this the animal that the topless towers of Ilium burned?” Wamp will spring forth tomorrow completely equipped to dispel any superabundance of youthful innocence with the frosh may still be cursed after more than two hectic weeks on the Southern California campus. From the front cover, which John Post has adorned with one of those illustrations which, in the parlance of the vulgar mob, is known as a wow, to the handsomely decorated fountain pen ad on the back page the new and completely renovated Wampus is chodk full of sure-fire laugh-manufacturers. Such notorious college wits as Miller, Suski, Harris, Orme, Mackie, Greenberg, Anderson, Wolpe, Burns, Nar witz, McCall, Booth, Talmadge, Wolfe, Baer, Duchowny, Aguilar, and Camp have been the chief trainers of the performing feline, and the results of their instruction will be plainly apparent tomorrow, to all intelligent per-1 sons and freshmen on the campus. And on top of all this, the famous editors of this pleasingly popular public publication, have added the fruits of their magnificently trained intellects to the all-ready plenteous contents. Grady Setzler, chief groom to the glorious quadruped, has modestly announced that there is nothing lacking to make this Wampus complete in every respect. He does admit, however, that there is a cryin gneed for fodder for the next issues. He is sending out the S. O. S. call for anything which aspires to the title of “Humor”; and he adds that all material of this doubtful distinction be placed in the Wampus box by October 6, if the authors thereof wish it to appear in the November number. He also mentions with a groan that advertising will be needed in huge gobs, and all jobbers who wish to supply these gobs should, according to Grady, consult with Gordon Rayburn in the Wampus office any afternoon in the year. Ladies and gentlemen, the Wampus will stroll forth tomorrow, and not even an earthquake will be able to stop its victorious progress. SENIORS CHOOSE CLASS PLAY TITLE ‘She’s Her Own Grandma/' By Ellsworth Ross and Cecil Carle To Be Produced. At a special meething called of the Senior Class Play Committee last week, consisting of Dorothy Davis, Genevieve Mulligan, Selvyn Levinson. Ralph Holly, Don Steven, and Ellsworth Ross, the proposition of the selection of material for the Senior Clasa Play was discussed. Many of the popular present day plays were discussed, including such favorites as “The Fortune Hunter,”-“Just Out of College,” “Rollos Wild Oat,” “Broadway Jones,” “Are You a Mason?” “She’s Her Own Grandma,** “When Knights Were Bold,” and many-other widely known plays. After an afternoon in discussion, the committee finally selected unanimo«»-ly fo rtheir Senior Play to be presented on Dec. 3 and 4, the farce comedy entitled, “She’s Her Own Grandma,’’ an original piece by Ellsworth Ross and Cecil Carle. The play was originally intende dfor professional production in the East, but the play met with such strong favor with the Seniors that the farce comedy has been selected for their presentation. Various parts of “She’s Her Own Grandma” have been cast and rehearsals are scheduled to begin at once. The class of ’26 of Southern California are the pioneers in this particular field in college activities, S. C. being the first and only college in the west coast to produce an original piece of work. The play being written, acted, and produced by Seniors of the university. GYM CLASSES TO COMMENCE OCT. 1 C. P. Nichols, of the physical education department, announces that examinations will be completed by October 1 and that gym classes will commence on that date. All men who are registered in any of these classes must secure their equipment before the frst class is held, or else be counted absent until such time as they get their equipment and locker key.
