SOPHOMORE DANCE IN GYMNASIUM IS OPEN TO STUDENTS
A mere matter of four days separates the present from the Sophomore dance in the basketball pavilion Saturday night. Tickets were placed on sale yesterday and the Students’ Store reports that a veritable landslide of Sophomores and Freshmen, with a goodly sprinkling of upper classmen, have already purchased the precious ducats.
Wayne Harrison, publicity manager for the wearers of the blue and buff, states that the second-year students welcome the class of ’29. Saturday will be the one night in all the year that Freshmen will be immune to the attacks of the Squires and their fel-low-classmen.
Rumors from the realm of harmony bring encouraging newrs regarding the preparations of Ray Hatfield for the appearance of his six syncopators. Newr, distinctive features will be incorporated with the snappy dance music that only Hatfield’s organization can dispense. Marcus Beeks, chairman of the entertainment committee, | is arranging several entertainment I features to be presented at the height | of the evening's hilarity, and the so-1 cial committee is still hard at work ‘Let There Be Light,” Subject of I Perfecting tbe general plans for the Talk by Professor; Council To j evening-
Meet Tonight.	• Hallowe’en and its usual wierd signs
__J and symbols will furnish the motif for
the decorations. From available information it is gleaned that the evening’s entertainment will be fashioned along lines also pertaining to the mystic date.
An announcement from John Bailey that will gladden the hearts of many campus-wanderers is to the effect that Charleston dancers will have a place in the sun for the evening. The ban placed on this popular Southern folk-dance by numerous local terpsicho-rean palaces has brought grief and accompanying tears to many Southern California students, and hence it is believed that an unusually large crowd of such dancers will wend their way to the gym.
“Wake up” is the subject which Frank G. Tyrell, prominent Los Angeles attorney has chosen to speak to the student body in chapel today.
Mr. Tyrell, who is a well known author, has made a name for himself chiefly as a speaker on political and civic topics. During the last few years he has specialized in addressing professional men. Though not an alumnus of this institution, Mr. Tyrell has been a friend of S. C. for some time and is one of its most loyal supporters.
Miss Lillii n Backstrand Wilson, past members of the faculty of the School of Music, has also been secured for the program. She will give a vocal selection accompanied by Professor Max Suartout, who is also a member of the music faculty.

FEATURES “Y’’ COUNCIL
Featured by an address by Professor Carl Knopf, on the Last of his series, “Let There l*e Light,” the “Y” Council will hold its w’eekly dinner and meeting in the “Y” Hut at 5:30 P.M. today.
Dr. Knopf will trace the story of the Creation as viewed by the scientist, and he will trace the story of Creation as contained in tho Bible.
Wlhen the man of science has examined the molecule, atom and electron, he is brought face to face with the discovery that creative energy is behind it all, according to Professor Knopf. He further said, “Science has revealed to us a world of energy of intelligent development.”
Dr. Knopf said that he expected to show that the only difference between the Biblical story of the Creation, and the Science story of the Creation, w’as that the former viewed the process from the poetic viewpoint, while the latter regarded it *rom the prosaic viewpoint.
FIRST RESULTS ARE BEING TABULATED
Freshmen are Receiving Reports of Psychology Tests Taken Freshman Week.
CLASS SINGING TO START WHEN LEADERS NAMED
With the appointment yesterday of singing leaders in practically every 9 o’clock class, the plan of the Rally Committee to have singing by the students in each class before the ringing of the 9 o’clock bell is all ready to be put into operation throughout the university.
The systematized plan of class singing every day, which was first proposed last week, has been completed and the leaders are expected to get their respective classes started on school songs tomorrow.
The idea of having regular class sings every morning was brought forward by the Rally Committee for two main purposes. The first purpose which the committee hopes the singing will serve is that of teaching the students the university songs. By frequent practice, it is believed that they will become entirely familiar with every S. C. song, so that whenever it is necessary to have group singing in public the students of Southern California may be able to give a good account of themselves, either in the rooting section or elsewhere. The second purpose which the regular singing is expected to attain is the increase of interest and school spirit throughout the entire student body.
The leaders appointed yesterday will take charge of every 9 o’clock class as soon as the members of that class arrive. The singing will commence when enough of the class is present to make a fair showing and will continue until the ringing of the last bell at 9 o’clock. If the instructor of the class has not yet appeared when the last

The psychology tests which the They both agree that in! freshmen took during freshman week
the beginning there was intelligent creative energy and that Creation was the result of an orderly process. The scientists are more or less agreed that the thing that is peculiar to Man in a marked de .Tee is hi.? pewer of creative energy. The scientist grants this as self-evident, while the Bible says that Man was made in God's image. “Science drives me to the conclusion that the world order is the result of creative energy and the Bible tells me that that creative energy is God and that Man is a spark of that Divine creative energy,” said Dr. Knopf.
“When I have completed the last of my series of talks I expect to prove that the Biblical and scientific view of the Creation converge at the same focal point and that the only fundamental difference between the views is in mode of expression,” commented Dr. Knopf.
Eileen Roher will furnish the musical part of the program with several vocal selections.
Douglas Ewan will be the chairman of the meeting.
FROSH COMMISSION MEETS SEPARATELY
Alice Hill, Freshman “Y” Commission president .announces that freshman girls will meet today at 4:30 o’clock at the “Y” Lodge, and they are also invited to attend the regular Y. W. meeting at 3:30 o'clock.
Under the leadership of Dorothy Dee Stevens, freshman commissioner, plans for the coming year will be presented to the girls and discussed.
The purpose of separate meetings of freshmen is not to divide the regular Y.W.C.A., but to get the freshmen organized and to increase their interest in the “Y” work.
are graded and freshmen are receiving the reports on the results.
It is well knowrn that every person has certain abilities, and that some of these abilities are better developed than are others. The psychology tests are given with the purpose of informing the freshmen as to just what abilities he has best developed, in order that he may make the best use of them.
Test results afford the student an opportunity to improve in such abilities as he finds that he has not taken the best advantage of.
The tests are graded analytically, and take into consideration the following abilities: To assimilate reading material, in use of language, mathematical ability, ability to follow directions and general information. The classes are divided into fifths and those students who are rated in the upper fifth are given a grade of one, those in the second fifth ar^ given a grade of two and so on down to those in the fifth division.
Because of the way in which the tests are graded it is not possible to obtain statistics on the results, but it will suffice to say that the students maintained a very satisfactory average number of questions answered.
A record of the psychology grades of each student is put in the hands of each of his instructors, so that they may help him to develop to a greater extent along the lines in which he is especially talented, and so that the professor may help the student to increase those abilities in which he may be deficient.
An interesting result of the tests given two years ago, according to Doctor Touton, who supervised the giving of the tests, comes from comparing the grades made by S. C. students and those made by students in other very prominent universities in the West.
To elect officers for the coming year, the graduate class will hold a meeting today in Hoose Hall 206. Graduate students were also entertained at a tea given Monday afternoon at the Women’s Residence Hall by Dean Mary Crawrford and Mrs. Laurabelle Dietrich, at which Hal Williamson acted as assisting host.
Among those present were President and Mrs. von KieinSmid, Dean R. D. Hunt, and the heads of departments bf the graduate school. The program consisted of two song numbers by Mr. Louis Silva, accompanied by Miss Thelma Roberts, and several piano solos by Don Parker.
“The graduate school represents one of the most interesting parts of the university,” says Dean Crawrford, “as its members come from almost every state of the Union, and most of them have had experience in other universities.”
As a result of this affair, the graduate club itself is planning a number of informal gatherings to be given this winter for students taking graduate work at Southern California.
Although tnt Trojan varsity will take the field approximately 1800 miles away, Friday, October 30, an opportunity will be given to every Trojan rooter to see the game at home. A gridgraph, something new to the Southern California campus, will be installed in Bovard Auditorium and will show to the exact details what is happening at Moscow', Idaho, when S. C. meets the Vanda's.
The gridgraph will make its first appearance on this campus, although it is more common in the east. The large board is somewhat similar to the ones used for the world’s series at the theatres down town. The board, however, will have a football gridiron on it instead of a baseball diamond. Lights will represent the players and the progress of the ball will be shown.
The lineups of the two teams will be placed on opposite sides of the score board and lights will designate who carries the ball and who makes the tackle, etc. Many Eastern schools use these gridgraphs at home when their teams are away and they have proved quite a success, according to reports from these colleges.
According to Sam Gates, head of the Rally Committee, who is sponsoring this gradgraph, the game, at home, will start at one o’clock. Admission to the Auditorium will be by Student Body Identification Card, and in case of no card, students will be charged 50 cents.
Entertainment will be provided during the half, according to Gates, while some of the simpler rooting stunts will be given.
A leased wire direct from the field at Moscow, Idaho, will give first hand service for the board and the students will not be kept waiting long between plays. V
It is reported that gridgraphs such as these have caused nearly as much excitement as a game itself. It is said to be the next best thing to watching the actual contest.
New System Will Give Better Service and Better Results, Says Ives.
IICAL CONTEST WORLD WIDE IN SCOPE
J. H. Hamly Confers With S. C. Heads Concerning World Intercollegiate Contest.
# In the interests of a World Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest, involving the bearing of Religion and Philosophy upon special and economic ideals in achieving universal peace and welfare, J. H. Harnly of the Pacific Pali- j sades visited the university Monday j to discuss the subject with the department heads of the College of Re- ( ligious Education, Political Science, Social and Economic, Philosophy, and Public Speaking.
The following institutions have al-
Photographic work on El Rodeo is to start this week, according to Burdette Ives, business manager of the publication. A different system of taking the pictures has been adopted this year, whereby the photographers are to visit the houses of the various sororities and fraternities and take the pictures of all the members in one evening. Notices are to be sent to the houses in plenty of time so that there will be no excuse for all members not being present.
The Densmoore Studio of Hollywood is handling the El Rodeo work and is to set up a regular studio on the campus while it is taking care of the university photography. Ed Murray, editor of El Rodeo, declared that this system will assure the students the best attention, as theirs will be the only work handled during this period. The matter of appointments and other business details will be handled at this office.
Non-organization students and those organizations not having houses are to have thoir pictures taken in the E! Rodeo office w’hich was formerly Dean Healy’s home. It is urged that appointments for these pictures be made as soon as possible as the managers wrant to have all photographic work finished by the last of November.
“If a student is not at his organization house at the time set for his picture, he will not have another chance to have his portrait in El Rodeo,” declared Ives. “We are having the photographers go to the houses in order that the proper atmosphere may be secured for each picture. The pictures in the past have been too stiff and it is felt that this method will tend to make them more natural. It is for the same reason that the other pictures are to be taken in Dean Healy’s old home.”
Senior pictures are to be taken at the same time as the others and will not be in cap and gowrn as in former years.
The Densmoore Studio has the reputation of doing the finest portrait work in Southern California and Ed Murray declares that the university is very fortunate in securing the services of this establishment. The price of the pictures will be one dollar for four sittings, and any number of cuts may be ordered from one negative. Fifty cents will be charged for each additional negative. A fifty per cent reduction will be made all students having pictures finished by the studio.
STAFF SECRETARY
Y.W. WILL LISTEN TO DP, GILLILAND
The first of a series of lectures and forums calculated to acquaint girls with the leading political movements of the day is scheduled for 3:30 this afternoon at the regular Y.W. meeting. Doctor C. V. Gilliland, head of the history department, has consented to speak on “The Major Causes of the World War.” The lecture is to be followed by an open forum. Talks on such questions as the World Court and league of Nations are also being planned; it is expected that these lectures and forums wil] stimulate intelligent thinking on these topics of vital importance.
The music for the program is to be provided by Gertrude and Marjorie Stephens. They will sing two duets, “Pale Moon” and “From the Land of the Sky Blue Wator ”
Freshman Commission will meet immediately after the “Y” meeting to discuss activities for the year under the direction of Dorothy Dee Stevens, freshman commissioner. Following this, supper will be served to all freshman girls.

In referring to the contest, Mr. Harnly said, “Such institution organizes its contestants about a governing council of teachers and students which in turn is represented in the Intercollegiate Councils, the first of which “will be convened at the initial Collegiate elimination contest. We do not purpose personally to organize all the other institutions of the country, but request that each initiate its own elimination contest and then request admission to an Intercollegiate Contest which will be arranged according to geographic location. The first elimination contests should be held before Thansgiving Day so that the Intercollegiate Contests can start before Christmas. There will be adequate prizes for the winners.”
