TROJAN KNIGHTS HAVE BUSY INSPECTION DAT
Trojan Knights Outline Plan for Supreme Court to Try All Frosh
DENT FROSH WFAR HATS
Dental Fraternities Are to Represented in the Trojan Knights
be
The Trojan Knights mean business! Tuesday showed that the organization fully-sweatereu, was guarding the college’s traditions from ti e Freshmen. Already the Knights have made arrangements and completed plans for treating the guilty offenders. “The U. S. C. Traditions” or "Ten Commandments" of the frosh are to be observed, says Fred McAllister, head of the tradition committee in the Knights.
In the cl>aj>el meeting of the lower class next week a list of the offenders will be read. These frosh will be j reported by the particular knight who | catches them in the act. Summons j will be served on the guilty or inno- j cent culprits. Their crse will then be] tried before his honor. Judge J. J Woods. Ample chance will be given . the defendant to plead his case. Both defense and prosecuting attorneys are to be present. After the bearing a sentence will be given. Judge J. ! Woods when questioned as to the na-j ture of the sentences had nothing to say.
To help the local knights carry the work in distant fields comes the knights from the dental college. Three of the dental fraternities, for the first ; time, are to be represented in the or- i ganization. Their first movement will be to instruct the Freshmen at that ‘ school to wear the regulation hat.
From the change in the api>earance | of tne campus between Wednesday I morning and Wednesday noon, the j knights seem to be fully capable of j making the frosh walk the straight I and narrow. This is the opinion of the students after viewing the clean- j up.
Saturday at the Caltech-Varsity i game the Knights will be present in full force to maintain order. Their watchword is ‘Keep the green paint j and the painters home—its the safest." j
BIG RALLY SCHEDULED FOR
FRIDAY AT CHAPEL PERIOD
Committee Chairman Asks Students to Turn Out for Friday Jubilees to Further Campus Spirit Toward Sporting Events
By OLLIE HOWLAND
Tomorrow morning, a small being will go into xonvulssons and various contortions on Bovard stage, drawing from those in front of him groans and I roars, and fittingly usher in the 1924 football season by means of a rally for j the Caltek game Sa;urda\r.
‘Gloomy’ Hank McCann, according to other writers, the supreme, peerless and best beloved yell leader of U. S. C , will conduct the tryouts for assi:t-I ant yell leaders. “You Frosh better get your bibles and know what to yell,” paid Hank yesterday. As an after thought he added confidentially, “Of
course the book store is giving me~-—“—

Gage Christopher, reputed to le nationally known as a song leader, will lead in the singing.
John Hainktins, captain elect of U.
S. C.’s football team, will complete the program by telling what the chances are for the football cham-p'onship and particularly of beating California.
A crew of salesmen have been organized by Art Phelps to fell the new song and yell books at the rally Friday. The price of the book has not been decided as ye; but the charges wil not be too high for anyone.
Don Cameron, cnairman of the rally committee, emphatically urged that everyone attend the meeting. “It is the first rally of the year and it will mean a lot to the team to let them know we are back of them and appreciate the hours they spend tearing each other up in preparation for the most successful football campaign we have ever launched," he said.

Frosh Scrub Walks While Knights Supervise the Job
By DOT HERRIMAN
Freshmen activities have already begun as a score of frightened infants of green vintage were seen on the campus yesterday morning scrubbing the documents off the sidewalks which contained rules of the most rigid, variety for these lowly beings, while Sophomores and Trojan Knights stood within close range beaming broadly.
The cause of this sudden Freshman activity was tihe appearance I of a green '28 scratched across the documents. It is said by tb6 Frosh that the Sophomores were the underlying cause^of this most insignificant number, having put it there to start a little of the old time pep on the campus and to show the newcomers that this is a live insitution. The blame however, was put on t'he cradle class, and the Sophomores denied any part in the affair.

the incoming Trojans Stag party.
The men were divided into their respective classes early in the evening when they were given tags to be pinned on their lapels designating them as Freshmen, Sophomores. Juniors, or Seniors. A soccer game was the first number on the program but due to the enthusiasm with which the boys entered into the game the rules underwent many changes before Coach Nichols’ police whistle put an end to the melee.
A push ball game between thirty Sophomores and thirty Freshmen followed the soccer bout and went to the husky Frosh by a margin of one goal. At no time was anjrone in danger of actual death but a feeling determination to do or die was noticeablei.
Perhaps the biggest surprise which the Frosh experienced came when the Freshman-Sophomore tug-of-war w^s announced. Some one suggested to the Freshles that- they could keep their feet better if they would remove their shoes. The suggestion was acted upon by the entire team and when the Freshmen stood ready to j pull their antagonists acrcss the line dollars I some thirty pairs of shoes lined the sides of the arena. Then some observing Beginner noticed that their

Purpose to Put Work of U. S. C. Architects Before the Collegiate World
The design classes of ft he Architectural department of the University of Southern California are to be moved to a downtown building furnished by the Allied Architects, the last of October. Bud Moorhead, president of the j Architects Club declared that this new j location will give opportunity for the | rapid development of the department; whose enrollment shows a twenty-five I per cent increase over last year.
The Allied Architects is an association composed of seventy men judged j to be the best architects of the southwest. The society will give lectures i to the students and criticize their I work. The services are free as the aim of the club is to aid all art movements.
President Rufus B von KleinSmid and Mr. Bergstrom, president of the j Allied Architects are to discuss plans for the mot at a meeting in the ar- j chitectural building today.
The architectural department has, planned to publish a year book for the pur]>ose of putting the work of the U. S. C. architects before the collegi-j ate world, as officers of the department feel that few students or outsiders know the real work that the! department is accomplishing.
The Architects Club has planned many social activities for the year including monthly banquet®at which awards for the problems will be made, I Officers elected are Senior class, Norman Lowe, Junior class. Noble Mcll-. vain. Sophomore class, Carter Cham-, bers.
New instructors who have joined the faculty of the architectural department are W. H. Johnson. B. S. from the University of California and a member of the Allied Architects, and Ohamberiain from Columbia University and The Rome Academy.
year and each Junior should realize his importance as a member of the class and give his full support. It will be absolutely necessary to have the receipt of the dues before a Junior can vote or attend the prom,Hay nes stated, and Juniors looking forward to the prom this year find it necessary to pay up their dues now.
To help in the collection of dues Haynes has appointed a committee composed of Genevieve Mulligan, Eth el Oliver. Eleanor Roehr, Dorothy Martin. Lois Camp, Claire Kaufer, Sam Gates, Burdette Ives and Ronald Snavely.
the building. A grand rush ensued and the offenders were halted but not before the shoos had been scattered to the four coiners of the gym. The tug-of-war was continued but the “stocking footed" boys slid across the floor to two defeats. It must be said, however, that they did break the rope twice before going down for the last time.
A game of dare-base, and several exhibitions oT blindfolded boxing completed the stunts for the party. Sam Gates, who was perhaps the most valiant of the shadow boxers, was covertly suspected of peeking out from

pointed for their thoroughness. Since time unrecallable, the semester dues of the Senior class, that august body that spends most money for most results in its fourth year, have only been one dollar, and now in these times of exalted prices, the Senior dues remain the same dirt cheap consideration.
The dues are starting off early so that the class will not have to hesitate on any' steps in its planned pro-fram, according to Yale Mart2. treasurer, and Geo. Orme, president. The program is an extensive one, covering a great number of social events as picnics, dances, weekly snaps, and certain academic events. A Senior dance is now talking shape, and will be one of the brightest of the early events.
“The biggest Senior class in history must do the biggest things, so that each member will have to extend his loyalty to pay his dollar at once,” said Yale Martz. treasurer of the class. The Senior gift must also be kept in mind. In addition to a special committee wrhich will approach the Seniors today, dues are payable to the officers of the class, Yale Martz, Marguerite Matson and George Orme.
The committee will give each paid up Senior a receipt, so that the dignified elder without the necessary paper will be closely followed by collectors, according to Martz.

No longer need the Freshmen go wandering about the campus with worried brow and vacant eye. No longer need he appear even greener than he is. No longer need he ask advice of older students.

SOPHOMORE CLASS
All Sophomores are urged to attend an important class meeting at twrelve o’clock Friday, in Room 206. Marjorie King, vice-president of the class, announced that election will be open for president and secretary7.
The Hello and Smile spirit that was started on Tuesday by the Bachelors Club has proven a big success on the U. S. C. campus, and practically every student in the school is w^earing one of the little Hello-Smfle tags. Every machine that was parked on Tuesday was adorned wi'h a windshield sticker with the same reading and it seems that the entire student body from Seniors to Freshmen have got the spirit.
The Trojan Knights were busy on Tuesday giving out the tags and decorating the machines ivith the stickers and a survey reveais that they did a good job. The tradition is taking effect and will no doubt prove one of the biggest things on the campus for the advancement of good fellowship.
The plan of the Bachelors Club in wrorking out the Kello-Smile tradition and to make the Freshmen feel more at home and results show that tiheir accomplishments have not been in vain. It is a hard matter to walk across the campus or down the hall without having half a dozen or more Trojans give out the hello sign, followed by’ a big broad smile and, as the tradition gains in favor and practice among the students, U, S. C. will soon be one big family where a spirit of friendiness for all abides.
One feature of the drive that the Bachelor Club is especially anxious to put over, according to Carlton Morehouse. president, is to ge-t the men to speak to one another, and to promote a friendlier spirit among the coeds on the campus. “If this is a success,” said Morehouse, “The club will consider that the tradition is well on the way’ toward permanency.
If you have not yet received your tag or windshield sticker, they can be obtained from any of the Trojan Knights or Amazons and the Bachelors
There is a bargain sale on at the Students Book Store, with season tickets at five dollars instead of eighteen as the wares!
With the coming of the first game next Saturday with Caltech, students are hurrying to purchase the book that entitles them admission to all kithletic events except the Stanford and Syracuse football garnes. Over 40o books have been sold up-to-date and it is expected that the number will reach 250(? by the end of the week. Friday has been set as the last day.
q “This will be one of the biggest years in the history of football,” said Gwynne Wilson, general manager. “Our athletic outlook is unusually bright and we want the entire student body to support the team at every game. These tickets will enable them to do so. Financially it means nothing, but as a support to the team it means everything. In actual value these books are w<yth practically eighteen dollars, but five dollars has been set as a price in order that every student may purchase one,” he added.
Alumni tickets are also on sale but do not include any activities other than football. Identification cards must be presented before any tickets will be sold. According to Mr. Wilson this is being done in order that only students and alumna may profltfi by it. Sales outside the student body are not desired.
Many students have the impression that the tickets entitle one to a rest erved seat, but according to the manager, no seats are reserved except those of the California, Stanford and Syracuse games. On these games an additional sum of $1 must be paid.
The student body as a whole has earnestly expressed a desire to stand back of the team in every w’ay. This is the biggest way in which that can be done. The window will be open during the entire day and students are asked not to wait until the last day.
