SENIORS PLAN TO SELL TICKETS FOR ALL-U. DANCE
"Dance To Be Unique,'' Says Miss Kaufer; To Be Held Off-Campus.
Announcement comes forth that the seniors are going ahead in their campaign with ticket sales for the first University dance of the season. Clare Kaufer announces that this dance will be unique in many respects.
“The first feature of this dance is that it will be one of the very few dances this year that will be given off the campus,” says Miss Kaufer. “Students are aware of the fact that there is a faculty ruling that all University dances must be given on the campus. The way has been cleared, though, to have this dance off the campus. There are only a few such dances allowed \ >very year, a total of about two or hree.
“There will be no lack of entertainment and decorations at the dance, ill Hatch and his orchestra will fur-Jsh the syncopation. You remember hem from last year, and oh, yes, they >lay over the radio, and they furnished he thrill for the Whittier rally.” Momon Baber, treasurer of the class, nnounces that any prominent Senior as the ducats for sale. The Students ’tore also has a supply of them.

WILL CHOOSE CAST FOR CLASS PLAY
“Enchanted Cottage ” Players To Be Chosen Today; Freshmen and Sophomores Eligible.
Players for “The Enchanted- Cottage” are to be cast this afternoon, and the reading rehearsal which was started yesterday will be continued today. The delightful comedy-drama will go into rehearsal immediately.
All Freshmen and Sophomores are eligible for roles in the underclassmen play, and it is urged that all those interested will be on hand at 3 o’clock today. It is not necessary that those trying out have their own books, as parts will be there for the different roles.
“The Enchanted Cottage” is a play written by Pinero and was one of the outstanding successes during the past season. This particular play was chosen because it is vivid in color and appropriate for an Armistice day presentation.
It is believed that a great deal of talent is hidden in the two under classes, which will assure the university a splendid cast as well as a splendid play.
Miss Hanna, who will direct the drama, has been successful in directing this particular type of presentation. Her finished production last year, “Smilin’ Through,” was considered by many to be a professional piece of work.
This afternoon tryouts will be held on the third floor of the Old College in Athena Hall.
Ellsworth Ross, dramatice production manager, announces that underclassmen interested in the staging of the production should make it known to him at once.
Victor Lichtenstein, today’s chapel speaker, is recognized by musical authorities as one of the world’s foremost musicians as well as a lecturer of national reputation. .Mr. Lichtenstein will speak on “Folk Music,” giving violin interpretations accompanied upon the piano by Max Swenthout.
Mr. Lichtenstein is now giving a series of afternoon lectures at the Ambassador Hotel on the operas presented this season in Los Angeles.
Critics everywhere have commented upon Mr. Lichtenstein’s style of address as “delightfully informal and pleasantly tinged with whimsicalities and genial humor,” and upon his ability to unfold to his audiences in simple, well-chosen phrases, the great truth that music, understood, will translate to them all the emotions of human life.
A native of St. Louis, Mr. Lichtenstein went abroad early to study writh Hans Sitt in Leipzig, and played first violin in the celebrated Gewandhaus orchestra under Arthur Nikisch, the foremost conductor of his day. He later continued his study with Eugene Ysaye, who is considered by many as the world’s greatest violinist.
Upon returning to America, Mr. Lichtenstein established a violin school which is acclaimed one of the most successful in this country. As official lecturer for the St. Lewis Symphony Society (Lectures on the evolution of the symphony, illustrated by the entire orchestra), Mr. Lichtenstein created a sensation in the musical world.
As a lecturer on the coast, Victor Lichtenstein’s achievements have been consistently successful. As University Extension Lecturer at Berkeley, he de-; livered a series of thirty fascinating ; lectures on “Music Appreciation from the Standpoint of the Amateur.” At present, he is giving a series of Oper-alogues at the Ambassador Hotel on “The Current Repertoire of the Los Angeles Opera Season”—his most unique contribution to the cultural life of this city.
It is Mr. Lichtenstein’s belief that music must not only catch the ear, but must penetrate the mind as well, and that “intelligent guidance alone can enable the listener to interpret great music—the language of the spirit, which cannot be expressed in words.”
Next week’s chapel speaker will be John Stephen McGroarty, author of “The Mission Play.”

YELLING PLEASES BURDETTE HENNEY
“I certainly have to compliment the rooting section upon the spirit which it has shown.” This w^as the way in which Burdette Henney, yell leader-in-chief, expressed his satisfaction yesterday with the way in which S. C.
: students have supported the team in i the rooting section.
Henney said that he was pleased with the action of the rooters in more ways than one. He declared that the bleacher stunts which were worked Saturday were highly successful.
Few mistakes were made in the spelling out of the name “Pomona”; the few errors that did occur were made by a small number of freshmen who were new to the ways of a big rooting section.
The singing at Saturday’s game was also well done, according to “Carrots” Henney. Two songs were sung, “Fight On” and “The Cardinal and Gold.” “Carrots” said that after these vocal efforts, he received several compliments on the singing of the S. C. rooting section by spectators at the game.
The yell king is well prepared with bleacher stunts for all the big games of the coming season. Besides having arrangements made in the stands to spell out the name of the visiting team on Southern Californias schedule, Henney said that he had planned novel stunts for the Stanford and Iowa games. For the Stanford battle, the rooting section will form, between halves, the figure of a gigantic wooden horse—cardinal upon a gold background. In the Iowa game, a large American flag will be formed in the S. C. bleachers.
“Carrots” also said that he would give the rooters sorne further information in regard to bleacher stunts and yelling at next Friday’s rally.
SQUIRES MEET TO FORM PLANS ABOUT FRESHMEN
Squires and Knights Plan Joint Gathering For Tonight.
The Trojan Squires hold their regular weekly meeting and luncheon today at noon at the Theta Sigma Nu house, 2636 Portland Street, to formulate further plans for harassing wayward Freshmen during the coming week. Carl Plate, president of the Squires, warns Freshmen that entirely too much “queening” has been indulged in by the class of ’29 on the campus, and further gives them notice that when a man’s name has been taken more than three times during the year by either a Squire or a Knight the transgressor automatically is put on a ‘‘black list” and can never become a Squire or Knight during his stay at Southern California.
The wearing of Freshmen hats by the men is improving, Plate reports, but occasionally a youngSter is found who defies the traditions of the insti tution and wanders o’er the greensward with his curly locks exposed to the rays of Old Sol. Such misdemeanors as this, and the proper way to prevent them, will be the principal topic of discussion at today’s luncheon. It is believed that even more severe methods of punishment will be meted out to sinners hereafter.
The Squires, as guests of the father organization, the Trojan Knights, will meet jointly with the Knights tomorrow night at the Phi Alpha fraternity house, 700 West Twenty-eighth Street, at seven o’clock, in order that they may learn more of what the wearers of the Cardinal sweaters are doing and how they do it. The Squires, as fci*ch, will be eligible next year for membership in the upperclass organization.
Sam Gates, of the Knights, reports three vacancies in the Squires at present, for which any Sophomore may apply. Sam will receive applications up to and including Friday of this week.

TROJAN DEBATOR RETURNS TO S. C.
After registering at Syracuse University, Adna J. Leonard, son of Bishop Adna Leonard, and a Trojan varsity debater, returned to S. C. last week. Mr. Leonard’s home is in Buffalo, N.Y. He registered at Syracuse in order to attend school nearer home, but came back to S. C. because of his interest in debating.
“Debate facilities at Southern California are ideal,” he says. ‘‘The system is one to be proud of, and so is the coach, Alan Nichols, who is responsible for it.”
Education students who are planning to teach in February, are asked to register with the Appointment Office immediately, in order that the necessary records and recommendations may be assembled at the earliest possible date .according to a recent announcement made by Miss Edith Weir, appointment secretary.
As the service of the department is not only for the placement of teachers, but for business and vocational employment as well, any students graduating in February may register now.
There are usually a number of calls for teachers in the middle of the year, both in the vicinity of Los Angeles, and other sections, and for that reason it will be to the advantage of all those hoping to secure positions at that time to register as early as possible, is the suggestion of the appointment secretary. If references are pn file at this office at the time application is made for the state credentials, they may be used for the two purposes, thereby eliminating duplication of references. In filling out the application for credentials, it may be stated that references are on file at the appointment office. The appointment office is located in Old College, Room 114.
Formal Class Nominations Open Spirited Campaign.
Candidates for the several class offices of the S. C. College of Law were formally nominated in special meetings for that purpose this morning. Politicians have been working, supposedly in the dark, for several days, getting their candidates in line for the intensive campaign expected to follow this week. In keeping with their professional future, the lawyers play scientifically, and to the careful observer their training well merits commendation. “Dark horses” and “sure bets’’ are always in line, but to all the enthusiasm ana procedure among the attorneys is a clear contrast to the cut and dried principles of the S. C. campus political activities*.
The three law classes are individual in their character, each having interests of its own, and each having its own incidents peculiar to the environment. To the Freshmen the circumstances are most strange, but with well outlined coaching from the upperclassmen, and a few weeks of becoming accustomed to the change from, campus social life to that of concentrated study, they have readily started on an intensive program to make their class of ’28 the ruling element in the legal circle. The Juniors and Seniors, with their experience, found their meetings short and directly to the point, but without lack of interest. The Law women, but few in number, display an unusual interest and command a large vote. They are represented on every ballot.
Most outstanding and amusing of the class campaign, is the slogan adopted en masse by the Juniors in due respect to their presidential candidates. It is “Smith for President,” and represents the famous case of Smith vs. Smith. The candidates are Everett and Dan Smith, both outstanding men of their class.
Those nominated for the various offices will be voted on by secret ballot next Tuesday under the direction of last year’s executive committee and student body president, Chet Dolley.
