STUDENTRALLYDPENS 1925 FOOTBALL YEAR, HOLD YELL WORKOUT
Bovard Auditorium Scene of First Student Gathering
RALLY MEN IN CHARGE
Trojan Five Orchestra To Offer Many Popular Selections
By TERREL DeLAPP
This morning ushers in the “indoor” start of the 1925 football when Southern California students gather in Bovard Auditorium at ten o’clock to take part in the first rally of the year. Sam Gates, Chairman of the Rally Committee, states that the program announced earlier iu the week is to be run off per schedule.
It is expected that the entire student body will be present to hear President von KieinSmid give his initial address and to take part in a yell practice.
“The Trojan Five” will have fifteen minutes to play some of its numbers.
Southern California’s first rally is always looked forward to on the campus as being the official start of the annual football season, and thru the efforts of Gates and the Rally Committee, this year’s send-off will equal or better any of preceding years.
Freshmen will be excused from scrubbing walks long enough to become initiated in Southern California yells. It is doubtful whether any new
yells will be introduced, but it’s a certainty that the old stand-bys will be
given a dusting-off.
President von KieinSmid announced the subject of his speech yesterday, stating that de would talk on “Student Dynamics”.

“Hello and Smile” week will be inaugurated on the Trojan campus commencing Monday morning. For the past few years the Bachelors’ Club of Southern California have sponsored this affair at the beginnnig of each semester and it has become one of the traditions of the school.
The object of this campaign is to promote and ‘foster a spirit of democracy and fellowship at the university. This week gives the Freshmen a good opportunity to become acquainted with their classmates, and to enter into the spirit of activity that is symbolic of Southern California.
The Bachelor Club, under the leadership of Armond Greer, have made some thorough preparations for the “Hello and Smile” week, and the of- j fleers of that organization are confident that their efforts will result in a much better spirit among the new students on the campus.
The Bachelors were organized in 1923, and are composed of prominent seniors in the university. The club was conceived by O’Kay King, for social purposes only. They had only existed a short while when the idea of creating such a thing as the “Hello and Smile” affair was decided.

TO SETTLE SUPREMACY
Traditional Conflicts Will Call Forth Frosh and Sophs
KNIGHTS IN ‘CHARGE
Both Class Presidents Confident of Easy Wins
Urged on by shades of departed freshmen and sophomores, these two traditional classes will clash today at one o’clock on Bovard Field for the honor of their respective groups. From years past this day has been the talk of respective freshmen and sophomores and how “our class will triumph.”
This year the plan has been changed by the two classes. Instead of having simply a tie-up, which probably is not sufficient to satisfy the wild-eyed under classmen according to former survivors of the conflict, Bovard field will witness a pushball contest, a tug of war, a sack contest and a tie-up.
According to Hank Rohr the sophomores are out to win all events, while from LaVelle, leader of the freshmen, comes the statement that 1925 will be a freshman year in so far as this contest is concerned. A sophomore meeting was held yesterday with a large attendance and plans were discussed
for the coming battle. Rohr, leader tributed among the student body and j of the sophomores and co-partner with

A penalty will be placed on any fraternity breaking rules which consists of the postponement of bidding for one school year.
Southern California will probably use two assistants to Henney this year, it is said.
Freshmen that were caught “queening” around the administration ^building were severely humiliated by being asked to sing and dance for the students. Others, who were caught with garters on their hose, were forced to auction them off to the female members of the school.

The assembly committee is composed of Professors Baxter, Lynn Clark, Douglas, Flewelling, Forrester, Harley, Immel, Syartout, together with Don Cameron, student body president, and the presidents of the four classes.
Student publications will be handled by Professors Willett, Case, Knopf and Malcom, in conjunction with Warren Bovard and Hal J. Stonier.
Professors Riddle, Broadwell Stillwell and Struble w'ill have charge of the ‘‘foreign relations” as the intercollegiate contacts committee is known.
Similar bodies of efficient instructors will officiate on the various committees.
A report comes from Miss Wadsworth that there is an overflow of Freshmen Registration in the School of Speech this year. With a registration of some thirty-five freshmen it would seem that interest is growing in the speech department of the University.
With the beauty of the mountains as a setting, the Y. W. girls will make their final plans for the year’s activities this week-end at Switzer’s camp, near Pasadena.
About forty girls have already signed up, according to Frances Schultz, president of the Y. W.. but reservations may still be made for a few more. New girls on the campus are especially urged to take this trip, since it offers an opportunity to get acquainted and also to find an opening in school activities.
Expenses will not exceed five dollars and machines w ill be provided for transportation. The meals are to be prepared by the girls themselves, with each girl assigned to some special duty. Those who are planning to go are asked to meet this afternoon at the Y. W. lodge, at three o’clock.
