Mr. Lyons has been singing for the Los Angeles Rotary Club for some time and he is well nown both among the students and in the music circles of this city. The final tryouts for assistant yell leaders will also be held, the four con-tentants being chosen tonight by the executive committee from last week’s aspirants. It is expected that Henney will be given some valuable assistance as the men all showed up well in last week’s tryouts. The rest of the hour will be turned over to the associated woman students who will present a varied form of entertainment under the direction of Ethel Oliver. The student body has been presented this fall with a series of interesting rallys and is responding in an enthusiastic manner. In fact, so great has been their approval that it has been necessary to come early in order to get a seat. Large numbers have been turned away in the past and it is thought that because of the fine program offered, tomorrow will be no exception. As the big game is only a week off it is necessary for the students to put as much time as possible in preparing their yells and songs, and it is urged that they pay close attention to Mr. Lyons in order to make the best showing possible at the Stanford fray. COMITIA SOCIETY PLANS BIG YEAR The October number of ‘‘The Lyric* characterized by powerful descriptive West,” the poetry magazine published at the University of Southern California, has appeared on the campus with contents measuring up to its usual high standard of quality. The publication, which was formerly edited by Professor Roy T. Thompson of the EDglish department, comes forth for the first time under its new editors, Dr. Allison Gaw, head of the English department, and Mrs. Ethelean Gaw. The poetic contributions which appear in this issue come from authors all over the United States. As a consequence, material of the finest character has been published in this number. “Ecco Homo,” by Beatrice Harmon, the selection which has first place in the contents, is an emotional poem of fine quality. It expresses a feeling of regret or reproach, and the melancholy of the lines is so delicately portrayed that the emotion is sensed rather than actually experienced. “At San Juan Capistrano,” by Clinton Scollard, is a descriptive piece in which the atmosphere of the old mission is caught and held throughout Harvey Sellers Dye’s contribution, “Romany,” is a narrative poem which tells of the uncontainable spirit of wandering and freedom which possesses the hearts of gypsies. The gypsy love of the outdoors pervades the lines throughout with its restless energy. A descriptive poem that yet has a clearly felt vein of emotional quality ninning through it is “Old Houses,” by Mary Brent Whiteside. It deals with old houses in an imaginative w’ay that tells of the suggestions of the past which they arouse in the minds of their sympathetic observers. “African Sunset,” by Helen von Kol nitz Hyer, is one of the outstanding shorter poems of the magazine. It is effects and it has a swift movement which produces the rushing, sweeping effect, necessary to the full appreciation of the scene which the author so ably describes. Another poem by the same author, “Dragon Flies,” appears in this issue. Don Gordon’s “Moon-Men” is a high-yl imaginative selection which is noteworthy for its fullness and richness of tone, as well as for its vigorousness of character. “To Fo—Passe” is a poem of a reflective nature, rather sad in mood. It expresses the philosophical resigna tion of a self^analyst which reveals to the one who analyzes the fact that his youth is forever gone and his old age is not far in the ditsance. Dr. Gaw has himself contributed to this issue a prose article, “The Artistry of the Stanza,” a discussion of the verse stanza. It is the first of a series of articles which will appear in future numbers of “The Lyric West,” and which will be devoted to the study of the various types of stanza forms. In addition to these contributions, several others appear in the October number of this magazine. “Arachne,” by Edith Mirick; “The Artist Receives Notice of a Bequest,” by Patterson Greene; “The Pearl of a Summer’s Sea,” by Leslie E. Bafrd; “Pro-Cathedral,’ by Mary Brennan Clapp; “My City,” by Read Bain; “Night Ride,’ by Mildred Plew Merryman; “Perhaps,” by Charles Howard Marsh; “Miracles,” by Idella Purnell; “When Next You Come,” by Natalie Flohr; “Offering,” by Geraldine Seelemire; “Nude Sleeper” and “Resurrection,” both by Joseph Upper; “The Sculptor” and “A Lady’s Way,” both by Jane Morrill, and “The Interloper,” by Ruth Augh-iltree ,are all poems of merit and add greatly to the value of the magazine as a publication of fine lyrics.

PHI DELTA GAMMA HOLDS FIRST MEETING That the College of Dentistry has worked out a highly successful and systematic plan of rushing and pledging is the opinion of Dean L. E. Ford, head of that college. “Now that all rushing and pledging is over for the semester and the dental plan of rushing has been thoroughly tried, I can say that I am very well pleased with the way in which the new system functions,” was the dean’s statement. Dental has taken the initiative and formulated a new plan for the securing of men for the various fraternities which takes the place of the antiquated system now in force at many of the liberal arts colleges. The new rules provide that rushing is to begin immediately after the opening exercises of the school and continue until two weeks of actual school have elapsed. No fraternity shall pledge a man mvtil after the third fraternity meeting after the opening of school. Each fraternity has the privilege of two rushing functions during the open period, providing that these do not fall on Monday or Wednesday night or interfere w'ith any other fraternity’s affair. Any rushee who accepts a bid before the time set for the issuing of them is liable to suspension from fraternity activities for an indefinite period. An intra-fraternity council is provided for which is composed of the dean of the college, the deputy supreme presidents of three national dental fraternities, the presidents of these organizations, and one member from each. NOTED MUSICIAN ADDRESSES STUDES Professor Victor Lichtenstein Talks About “Folk Music” at Chapel. “Bud” Houser, Olympic champion of the shot-put and discus, was elected president of the senior class at Dental. It was a very close election, Houser beating Kennets Edgars by a vote of only 83 to 70. The class was unanimously in favor of Wilfred Kamm^r for the office of vice-president. The fight for secretary-trasurer, however, was very uncertain, Herbert Shirley winning from Milton Cottam by a narrow margin. The present seniors started in their freshman year under the guidance of Stewart McDonald, and in their sophomore year chose Sylvester Mueller as their president. Mueller proved ineligible as a candidate this year, as he holds another student body office at Dental. Emerson Spicer, wiio led this class last year, will turn over the reins to Houser, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will handle the class fully as well as it has been in the past Yesterday morning the sophomore class at Dental held its nominations for class officers, under the guidance of Lee Symington, last year's freshman class president The meeting was fairly spirited, accompanied by sincere consideration and thought in order to choose the men for those Important offices. For the office of class president, George Hanna, R. S. Lelansky and Archie W'ilkins were nominated. The men proposed for vice-president were Howell and McKenna, while the privilege of the handling of the secretary’s pen lies between Craig and Ralph Smith. Craig held the secretarial position last year. Final elections will be held on Friday, but before the men can be voted on their scholarship and character must be passed on by Dean J. E. Ford. JUNIOR CLASS DRIVE f Third-Year Students Will Attempt to Collect Yearly Assessments Next Week. TO LAST 3 DAYS Success of Junior Prom is Dependent On Outcome of Campaign. “Folk Music” was the title of the address delivered by Victor Lichtenstein, music master of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, before Chapel yesterday morning. Prof. Lichtenstein, who is giving a series of lectures at the Ambassador Hotel this week on “Operas,” is reputed to be one of the world’s foremost musicians. He is a resident of St Louis, but received his musical education in Liepzig, where, as a pupil of Hans Sitt, he became first violinst in the famous Gurondhaus Orchestra under Arthur Nikisch. While abroad, he also studied with Eugene Ysae. On Wednesday, Prof. Lichtenstein said, “There is no language that is understood the world over, but by use of tone, the same emotions may be aroused. In this sense, music may be called the universal language.” “Folk music is the simple, expression of the naive soul of a people. Folk dances and songs express the finest and simplest aspirations of a group as they portray the sincerest and most accurate expressions of general mental characteristics. “The folk songs of northern Europe are sad and heavy as contrasted with the light gaiety expressed in the music of the southern countries.” Mr. Lichtenstein was assisted by Elizabeth Mattern, soloist, and Max Siventhout, pianist, who rendered the following selections: 1. “Willow, Willow,” Ophelia’s song from “Hamlet,” which was written at a time when England led the world in TROJAN SQUIRES MAKE NEW PLANS Detailed plans for an intensive campaign against offending freshmen were formulated at a meeting of the Tro-j jan Squires yesterday at noon, according to Carl Plate, president. Specific duties throughout the day were assigned to each squire in order to put their activities on a scientific working basis. Several entirely new and different forms of punishment were also introduced with the purpose of adding variety to the antics of the lawless freshmen. The exact nature of these, however, remain a deep, dark secret, for, with the exception of Sam Gates, representative of the Trojan Knights, no outsider was admitted to the confab. Besides the introduction of new plans the Squires’ fundamental policies were reemphasized. While determined to enforce traditions ridigly, they plan to do so with the best of feeling. Carl Plate emphasized the fact that personal friendships must not interfere with the punishment of tradition violators, and that all must be The Junior Class Fund drive starts Monday, October 12, and will last three days, announces Willard Brown, junior class treasurer. Brown intends to get one dollar from every registered junior inside of this time limit. In order to do this he has appointed the following juniors as members of the Fund Drive committee: Jeffrey Smith, Robert Brooks, Norm McKen-sie, Ed Bernard, Ruth Branch, Gladys Lee, Don Mayhew, Eloise Parks, and ay few others who have not yet been appointed. Inasmuch as the demands upon the junior class treasury will be exceptionally large this semester, due to the holding of the Prom this semester, the treasurer feels that it is vital that every junior should contribute his “mite.” Willard Brown has perfected a system whereby he can check the payments of dues of every member of the class. It is his desire that all fraternities, sororities and other organizations should see to it that their junior class members come through one hundred per cent. From day to day the returns will he published and thus every house’s average will be made public. The final results of the drive will be published and the unfaithful checked up on. Upon payment of dues the junior will receive a “loyalty tag” which will be of distinctive design and a prominent insignia of loyalty. The success of the Junior Prom will depend, to a large extent, upon the success of this drive. Every Junior knows that this year’s Prom will bo of such pretentions as to require a heavy cash outlay. The treasurer also desires that the class treasury carry over a substantial balance into the senior year to help the class get started. Beginning Monday with a rush and extending through Wednesday the campaign will be carried on by the committee. During the iless publicity” will do its work.

As a consequence, material of the finest character has been published in this number. “Ecco Homo,” by Beatrice Harmon, the selection which has first place in the contents, is an emotional poem of fine quality. It expresses a feeling of regret or reproach, and the melancholy of the lines is so delicately portrayed that the emotion is sensed rather than actually experienced. “At San Juan Capistrano,” by Clinton Scollard, is a descriptive piece in which the atmosphere of the old mission is caught and held throughout Harvey Sellers Dye’s contribution, “Romany,” is a narrative poem which tells of the uncontainable spirit of wandering and freedom which possesses the hearts of gypsies.

It is effects and it has a swift movement which produces the rushing, sweeping effect, necessary to the full appreciation of the scene which the author so ably describes. Another poem by the same author, “Dragon Flies,” appears in this issue. Don Gordon’s “Moon-Men” is a high-yl imaginative selection which is noteworthy for its fullness and richness of tone, as well as for its vigorousness of character. “To Fo—Passe” is a poem of a reflective nature, rather sad in mood.

Dr. Gaw has himself contributed to this issue a prose article, “The Artistry of the Stanza,” a discussion of the verse stanza.
