JOHN M’GROARTY CHAPE SPEAKER FOR ASSEMBLY
Author of Mission Play and Editor To Give Weekly Chapel Address.
John Steven McGroarty, author, playwright and journalist, will make his first appearance as an alumnus at a Southern California assembly.
Last June the degree of LLD. was conferred upon Mr. McGroarty, who has endeared himself to Californians as author of the “Mission Play,” which has been produced at San Gabriel Mission yearly since 1911. Although he was born in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and was educated at the Wilkes-Barre Academy in the same state, he is a representative Californian.
After practicing law for two years in the east, Mr. McGroarty came to Los Angeles in 1901. Since that time he has written “'Poets and Poetry of Wyoming Valley,” “Just California,” “Wanderers’ Songs,” “The King’s Highway” and “California, Its History and Romance.”

CAST IS SELECTED
Production is To Be Given On December 3 and 4.
The cast for “The Broken Bachelor” has been completed and is now in rehearsal in preparation for the production to be given on December 3rd
and 4th.	*
It is said by those who know that the people cast represent the best talent and professional ability in the entire university, and it is expected that these thespians will put over the best piece of entertainment ever staged in Bovard Auditorium.
Those students who remember last year’s dramatic hit, “Seven Keys to Baldpate,” will recall the subUe talent displayed in that production by that famous comedy cast. For the senior play this year, practically the identical people have been cast and they are all pleased with their parts and feel that “The Broken Bachelor” has unlimited comedy possibilities, all of which will be developed.
Ellsworth Ross, hero of the ‘‘Baldpate” play, and famous for his “Almost Bigamy” characterization, will portray the leading role around which the story of “The rBoken Bachelor” is knitted.
Clare Kaufer, the School of Speech star, will again come forth with the laurels of leading lady. Miss Kaufer’s whimsical tempo is always an asset I in any production.
Selvyn Levinson will play the part: of Jim Graham, the Bachelor's best friend. Mr. Levinson, heretofore, has j been recognized as a character actor, j However, in this play he ventures! forth as a “straight” and is showing j every possibility of establishing him-1 self as a versatile actor.
Genevieve Mulligan as the sister, shows possibilities of a lovely characterization around which an important element of the play is built.
Ddrothy Davis as a happy-go-lucky widow, has a surprise for everybody. Miss Davis at last is in her right element for a comedy.
Ralph Holly as Simpson, the butler, is expected to bring many laughs. As an English butler, Mr. Holly is perfectly natural.
William Hogue appears in the role of the father. Bill gets into an awful mixup trying to get straightened out. Just another good role for a good actor.
Harriet Pearson is going to do her stuff as a mysterious French woman, and Harriet is clever.
Other Important parts or “The Broken Bachelor” are the Doctor, to be played by Ray McDonald, and the role of a Minister from the matrimonial agency, which is not yet cast.
Mr. Bacheldor of Boston Tech.
and Roman Academy is New Member of Faculty.
With rejoicing and thanksgiving, the architects moved out of their temporary hut on Thirty-fifth street last week and are now enthroned in the spaciousness of their new building which, although not quite completed, has been cleared of all the construction drawbacks in order that classes may meet.
The large, airy drafting rooms are in great contrast to the old quarters in the Annex, and with the advantage of the library in the same building and the systematized plan, the architects believe that they are entering upon their most successful year.
Ths building is so designed that each large room opens upon the patio and therefore the benefit of light from two sides is received—an important factor in the drafting room. For the life classes there is a large room and an idividual patio adjoning it. This makes it possible for the classes to have life study out of doors.
It is hoped that sometime in the near future a reception may be held to formally open the building and it is expected that many students and alumni will attend.
Besides entering the new building, Architecture has also enlarged its faculty, including Mr. Ralph J. Bacheldor, Master of Arts in Architecture, a graduate of Boston School of Technology, who arrvied here last week to teach History of Architecture and Ornament and Art Appreciation.
Mr. Bacheldor won the scholarship to Europe from the Boston School of Technology in 190'8, and afterwards the Roach scholarship, but his later studies were interrupted by the war and it was some time before they could be resumed. During his stay in Europe he studied for two years at the American Academy at Rome. After his five years’ experience abroad, Mr. Bacheldor returned to the United States and practiced in the East, where he was designer for Halebeck and Roach and also for Depredelle, the French architect.
VARSITY BALL DECORATION PLAN NEARLY COMPLETE
Flowers Arranged in Gigantic Blanket Will Cover One Side of Ballroom.
Plans for the coming Trojan Knight-Amazon ball, which will be held Saturday night at the Biltmore Hotel, are almost completed, according to the committee in charge. The decoration committee has been working overtime to complete their extensive plans for this dance and are now resting well satisfied with their efforts.
According to announcement, the decorations will consist to a great extent of chrysanthemums arranged in a gigantic blanket which will cover one side of the ballroom. Over two hundred of these flowers will be used, according to the florist in charge. Baskets of beautiful flowers will be placed at different points in the Italian ballroom.
The ball will be informal out of respect to the visiting Stanford team, according to Solly Levinson. Football uniforms and tuxedos do not mix well in a suitcase, therefore the decision as to whether the dance should be formal or informal.
It is reported that Earl Burtnett will attempt to outdo himself in the matter of providing music for the ball. He has twelve men under nis direction, each a master of syncopation. According to Levinson, Mr. Burtnett is

POSITIONS OPEN FOR STUDENTS
Students desiring to work all day or half a day on Saturday should visit the Appointment Office every Friday before leaving the campus, and sign up. Calls often come in to the office early Saturday morning and it is difficult to get in touch with people to work on such short notice.
Also, any change of address, telephone number or hours should be reported at once, in order that the records may be up to date.
NEW TRAILS
A new trail has been made down the face of Grand Canyon. It is an eighteen per cent grade as compared with a thirty-six per cent grade on the Bright Angel trail. It is possible to go over this new trail from rim to rim of the canyon in one day.
CLUBS ARE UP FOR REORGANIZATION
That some very definite action will be taken in classifying campus organizations, many of which must be either reorganized or have their charters withdrawn, is the announcement made by Bart Hutchins, chairman of the organizations committee of the A.S.B.
There are about 186 organizations on the S. C. campus at present, and of these only 100 are active. Each organization is to be thoroughly investigated and those which are considered “dead” will have their charter of recognition withdrawn. Therefore, according to Hutchins, all organizations which wish to live should do some reorganizing, if they have not already done so.
The work of this committee might easily be compared to a state corporation commission which withdraws the charter of a defunct corporation.
“We want high-class organizations on this cam’pus, or S. C. will have a poor reputation; so, if organizations aren't what they should be they must go,” says Barton Hutchins.
Martha W'iggett is the only other member of the committee yet announced by Hutchins.
GRADUATES EXCUSED FROM TERM PAPERS
Thirty-two Grade Points and Thesis Required For Master of Arts Degree.
Term papers are to be a thing of the past for graduate students in upper division courses as a result of the requirements recently announced by Dean Rockwell D. Hunt of the Graduate School. At least one-half of the required course units must be in courses numbered 200 or above and no special assignment work will be given to insure graduate credit.
Thirty-two grade points, in addition to a thesis, are required for the degree of Master of Arts, or other master’s degree of equivalent requirements.

All the regulations and requirements have been complied with and the special items brought to the attention of the instructor; so that some which may not be familiar will not be in danger of being overlooked.
QUILL CLUB HEARS CONVENTION REPORT
Quill Club, national honorary literary society, will hold its first meeting of the year at the home of Dorothy Crowley, 1150 South Lake. All members are requested to bring manuscripts. A few of the alumnae members will be present this evening.
Ralph Holly will report on the national convention which he attended this summer, where several of the bylaws of the club were changed. The matter of publishing the Wooden Horse, the club publication, will also be decided.
The members are to be especially reminded that dues are now payable and to order their pins at once if they have not received them.
The try-outs for Quill Club are now open and all mauscripts should be sent to Box 167, University of Southern California. Anything in the way of literary material will be considered by the manuscript committee, which will be appointed this evening.
As a preliminary to the Stanford tilt Saturday, Southern California students will gather in Bovard Auditorium Friday evening for a final rally. The program is scheduled to open promptly at 7:30.
For this rally Sam Gates has announced that the entire lower floor will be given over to the men. The balconies are to be reserved exclusively for S. C. women. Men will sit in groups, that is, the lawyers together, the dentists together, and other colleges of the campus in like manner.
The program promises to be an interesting one, according to Gates. Burdette Henney and his two assistants, Wes Woodford and Archie Lewis, will lead off the session with Trojan yells and songs. It is expected that the different colleges will vie with each other in yelling, as has been the case in the past.
The Southern California band, under the direction of Hal Roberts, will feature some new tunes and will take up part of the program with their various stunts. A saxophone sextet is scheduled to appear, following the band. This sextet will be known as the “Roy-Al Saxophone Sextet.”
Next ,a skit written and directed by Art Syvertson, will be presented. The title of this play is “Trojan Spirit,” and will be “short and to the point,” according to Gates. Following this. Cliff Herd, popular freshman mentor, will give the student body one of his famous “pep” talks.
A surprise feature will follow, according to Gates, the plans of which have not been given out as yet.
The Rally Committee had planned to hold a progressive dance at seven sorority and fraternity houses, according to Mr. Gates, but on account of the lack of orchestras, the plan has been changed, so that one big dance will be held at the gymnasium.

PRESS CLUB GIVES MONTHLY DINNER
The first meeting of the Pi Delta Epsilon national journalism fraternity, for the term was held yesterday evening at seven o’clock in the Trojan office. Several of the prominent alumnae, including Marcus Busby and Cecil Carle, were present.
In forming plans for the cornin? year the publication of the “Razzberry,” annual scandal edition of the Trojan, was discussed. Plans to enlarge the scope of the regular Newspaper Day on the campus were also considered. In former years only the editors of high school papers have been included in the general invitation. This year, however, by co-operating with the Press Club, the Alpha Chi Alpha, sister organization to the Pi Delta Epsilon, and the Sigma national journalism sorority, the Pi Delta Epsilon expects to make Newspaper Day an even greater success than it has been in former years, by asking all the editors of dailies and weeklies in and around Los Angeles to attend.
The possibility of sending a delegate to the national convention to be held some time in April, was considered. As the convention was held last year in Syracuse, N. Y., the local organization was unable to send a delegate. This year, however, it will be held in San Francisco so that it is quite likely that the local chapter of Pi Delta Epsilon will be represented.
