Under the new system of chapels the Friday assemblies will be optional and is to be a true teet cf the loyalty of Trojans to their own student government.

As Dean Hunt's personal assistant and as a teacher and friend he is missed, but the memory of his own high qualities and his ambition to fit him-t-eir capably will be an inspiration to those who regard him highly. Dean Hunt in speaking of him said, “I found him both unusually capable and thoroughly conscientious and devoted in alf his work. He had high aims in educational endeavor and embodied the best qualities of Christian manhood.”

FIRST RALLY OF YEAR FOR FRIDAY
Rally for Cal. Tech Game is Scheduled for Assembly
The first rally ofi the year is sched- j uled for Friday morning at ten o'clock. The Rally Committee has planned a surprise for the students which is being kept dark by those in charge. Ac cording to Don Cameron, chairman, the meeting is going to be peppy and should mork up a lot of enthusiasm for the Trojan-Calteeh game on Saturday.
Yell leader Hank McCann asks that every man be out at the Cal. Tech game in order to atart practice on bleacher stunts. He plans to have a big rooting section at every game and bleacher stunta. "The idea is to support the Varsity at all games and not just Cal. and Stanford." says the veil king. “Don't wait until the Stanford game to learn how to do bleacher stunts but come out for the first game. Practice makes perfect."
Friday's rally will be the first chapel hour which has been given over to voluntary student attendance and it is the hope of the student committee that there will be a big showing. “We must have student support," said Don Cameron. “The committee has planned an interesting program and we promise that everyone will enjoy himself if he comes.”
SOCIAL COMMITTEE
Martha Smith has called an important meeting of the Social Committee for twelve o’clock Thursday in the Student Body office, second floor of the Journalism building.

LOWER CLASSMEN HAVE CHANCE Al DRAMATICS,
Sophomores and Freshmen are being offered an exceptional opportunity this year as announcement has just been made by Tacie May Hanna of the School of Speech that tryouts for the first dramatic production to be given in chapel this semester are to be limited to under classmen.
Tryouts are being held this afternoon in Bovard auditorium at 3:15 and Miss Hanna urges all lower classmen who are interested in dramatics to be there.
“We hope to give an excellent production of an excellent play,” said Miss Hanna, “and are anxious to give all Freshmen, and Sophomores too, an opportunity to display some of thei; histronic ability, developed in high school dramatics.”
The production will be put on in November but the play has not been chosen as yet. Anyone interested in the publicity end is also asked to be present today at 15.
While throngs of new and old students were being pushed here and there during the turmoil of registra tion around Bovard, some four hundred enrolled at the College of Law in the Tajo Building, First and Broadway, and all attended classes without conflict Thursday morning. Enrollment for this fall quarter is well in excess of all previous years and is increasing daily according to the report given out by the office. Tentative figures show that over 110 Freshmen constitute the largest class enrolled with the Senior running a close second. It appears that the older and more experienced students have waited until the usual drag of registration is over, thereby utilizing all available time to promote the year’s finances.
The entire faculty of six full-time professors are on duty for this year s work, and since there are no new men to break in. little difficulty is expected in getting a good start into the ways of the law. Owing to the size of the entering class it will probably be necessary to employ one or two new part time instructors, according to the Dean. About one hundred students met with the first hour class in Enementarv Law, which has necessitated its division for the betterment of professor and student. Those men who have maintained their positions with the College are: Dean Porter, Fox, Jones, Tappan and Millikan.
With the largest enrollment in the history of the institution, The College has just completed a very successful I summer session of two periods According to those attending all are well pleased with the work presented I this summer. The entire faculty were ! on duty for the work. However, dur-| ing the second session, Dean Porter ’ spent considerable time in the East.
The greater part of his vacation was ! spent visiting the larger institutions j of the East inspecting their Law ^ Schools and taking careful note of their buildings. Tbe fact that the College of Law is expecting to move from its present quarters to the University Campus will be quite a surprise to some, but to many it will be but the fulfillment of a long felt desire to be gratified through the ex-tensixe buiding program now being carried out by the administration.
In comparing his notes with the projected plans of the Law building to be erected, Dean Porter said, "Plans tentatively adopted will give our building more efficiency and workability than any of those visited in the East.”
Veil Leader Tryout Held on Wednesday
Again a call is put forth for all men interested in trying out for Assistant Yell Leader. The rally committee wants at least twelve men out for the tryouts. Any one that did not have a chance to get Instructions from Hank McCann last Friday may have another opportunity by appearing on the auditorium stage at two o’clock on Wednesday afternoon.

Over Twenty Three Hundred Students Finish Registration
By ALICE YOUNG
That the coming year looks well for the School of Speech was stated recently by Miss Florence Hubbard, instructor in the school. Big things are promised under the supervision of the new dean, Ray Keelor Immel.
The plans are not as vet entirely completed. Miss Florence Hubbard designs to arrange a student calendar for the year’s entertainment, all those who wish to take part coming into conference and making a systematized line up that will distribute the entertainment throughout the year and prevent “tumult and mix-up.”
* Dean Immel said, upon being in. terviewed, that he is here to carry on and supplement the work so ably begun and developed My Dean Yoder. He says he has no “revolutionary ideas" to exploit so far as the School of Speech is concerned, that he is at present trying earnestly to study the conditions and learn the mechanics of the University of Southern Colifornia, and when this stage of the work is over *he will probably have more to say concerning the future policies of the School of Speech. He expressed the hope that it will continue to do what it has been doing in the past; serve the University community, and through this service serve the larger community, in every technical and artistic way within the limits of the field.
Dean Immel continued, “I have had the very kindest reception into your midst, and I shall try to devote myself to the interests of the school and of the Univerity at large in every possible way.
“Meantimei I am remembering President von KleinSmid's suggestion to new members of the Faculty and am doing my very best to make the ’Old Settlers’ feel at home.”

It is entirely up to the individual to put it across and those in charge feel that through co-operation, nothing can stop U. S.

mittee, consisting of John Woods, Fred McAllister, Joe Smith, and Walter Moore, has taken steps to see that the sacred traditions as printed in the Frosh Bible will be enforced. They have given notice to the Frosh by means of posters and warnings, ad expect to have no difficulty in persuading the Frosh that in Troy the wise man does as the Trojans do.
The Trojan Knights is an organization composed of one member from each of the other male organizations on the campus and from all of the colieges. They have full authority from the administration of the University.
Among their various duties, the Knights have charge of entertaining visiting teams, of rooting sections, and of enforcing traditions. The or-gaization includes twenty or thirty members. Its officers are Bud Welin, president; John Oliver, vice-president. Bill Delphey, secretary. Bill Kinche-loe, treasurer, and John Woods, chief justice.
For the benefit of the Frosh, a Knight can be recognized by his insignia of a gold Trojan helmet in a circle over the heart of a cardinal
sweater.
