RAISING OF FLAG INAUGURATES NEW CUSTOM AT S. C.
COMMITTEES CHOSEN
Bringing down the roof of Bovard Auditorium as a climax to the gigantic Stanford-Southern California rally Friday evening and shaking the foundation of the Coliseum, the new Trojan war cry went over w'ith a bang! Incidentally, Reva Hawkins won the Allan T. Archer $100 cash prize.
The yell contest was the closest in the history oi Southern California, and il was not until the three yells chosen by the committee had been tried at the rally Friday evening was a definite decision reached. Even then the enthusiasm displayed by the Trojan rooters for each yell left the judges with a close decision. Stanley McKee and Mabel Cunningham submitted the two other war crys which figured in the elimination contest.
More than one hundred yells were Smith

After two weeks of keen interest on the part of members of the School of Speech, the final election of officers has taken place. A new election was made necessary because Emily Herbert, president, is attending the Emerson School of Speech, and Edith Coke, secretary last year didn't return to Southern California.
Miss Harriet Pearson, who was last year’s vice-presdient, was elected president of the School of Speech. Julia
dent; Kathleen Campbell, secretary, and Mary Ella Brooks was elected to the oflice of treasurer. With these four capable leaders, Southern California expects some big things from the School of Speech this year.
Committees were also apponited at the meeting Friday morning. The following were appointed: Refreshment, Mary Ella Brooks, Winifred Barrett and Mary Bryant; serving committee, Genevieve Milligan, Marquita Young, Helen Hessick and Katherine Scott; program committee, Josephine Campbell, Charlotte Sultan and Eugenia Mc-Quatters; clean-up committee, Claire Kauffer, Dorothy Douglas and Ruth

Talk by Don Cameron Opens Ceremony Held in Front of Administration Building.
Trojan spirit mounted high last Friday morning when the Trojan battle flag was cast to the winds for the first time in, what is hoped will become, a Southern California tradition.
The spirit began to rise from the moment the student body gathered on the lawn in front of tiie Administration Building waiting for the unfurling of the flag. A blast of a trumpet sent the spirit still higher, and as if in answer to the call, a pigeon winged its way from the belfry of Old Col-

Sophomores filled the Old College chapel to its brim, and had a fiery meeting. Hank Rohr, president of the Sophomore class, presided over the blue-shirt students, and made important announcements concerning the activities of the class for the coming year.

The committee made arrangements to handle a very difficult situation that has been facing the School of Speech for quite a period of time; the question of uniting the upperclassmen of Speech with the Pre-speech majors. The solution is the organization of a sponsor system. Every senior and junior has charge o fa group of four or five underclassmen. The duty of each sponsor is to see that all of their proteges know about meetings and social functions and to help them to keep interested in the school.
The next social function on the calendar is to be a tea given at the home of Miss Yoder, 1112 Gramercv Drive, next Thursday, from three to six.

“The raising of this battle flag really stands for something.

That is one of our traditions.” The flag wras guarded by six sophomores on watch in the Tower in order that at sundown Saturday the citizens of Troy coull look to the Tower for the story of the battle.

Art Syvertson, Junior class president, opened the meeting in Stowell 305. Committees gave their reports on the Junior Prom, and it was decided to hold the dance at the Ambassador Hotel, with the Biltmore orchestra supplying the music. This year the Prom will only be open to upper classmen, owing to the limited number of tickets to be put on sale. Willard Brown, secretary of the class, made a plea for the payment of class dues in order that the class may continue its functions for the coming year.
The Senior class met in Stowell 206 under the guidance of Ron Stever. He appointed the following committees: Senior play, International, Social, Financial and Tradition.

A new legislative committee will be composed of the women faculty members and representatives from W.S.G. A. This committee will establish an equality in legislative powers of the faculty and the women students. A judicial committee is to be organized for the purpose of enforcing the rules made by the legislative committee.
The W.S.G.A. will not conflict with the student body as it will take care of only the women's affairs and problems. The girls will merely enforce the rules of the organization among themselves.

Dean Marshall is probably best knowm on the local campus as joint ! author of “Materials for the Study of Economics.” The dean is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and at the present time is Associate Editor of the Journal of Political Economy. During the period of the war, he occupied important positions on a number of War and Labor Boards, and is the author of several other publications on economies, including “Readings in Industrial Society,” “Business Administration,” and “The Story of Human Progress.”

According to those in charge of the “Trojaneer,” the Engineers have gotten in back of the paper, and the number of subscriptions being received by the business manager is increasing every day.
“Every phase of engineering life on the campus of Southern California will be covered by the Trojaneer," is the announcement of this publication. With the active support of the engineering student body on the S. C. campus, the staff expects to make their paper a worthwhile medium of news, which W'ill be of great service to every student in the College of Engineering.

Still fighting, the Trojans kept the pigskin well down in Stanford territory and were threatening constantly over the aerial route. The Cardinals intercepted twro passes at critical moments, each of wThich would have meatn a touchdown, and it was after one of these that Stark blocked Nevers’ punt on the five yard line. The ball bounded crazily back over the goal line with three Stanford men and one Trojan after it. Numbers triumphed and Don Hill fell on the ball for a safety. The ball came back to the thirty yard line and the big opportunity for victory w'as gone, although the Trojans passed and ran desperately.
Cook was in at quarterback at this time and was calling for passes nearly every play—the only play that could score that late in the game and
