DR. LAYTON IS TO SPEAK IN CHAPEL
Subject is “Reconstruction Under the League of Nations”
l>r. Walter Thomas Layton, well-known London editor, will give an address to upper division students in chapel next Wednesday. Dr. Layton is editor of the London Economist and has come to America to give a series of talks on current problems of the •world.
The Institute of International Education in New York City has arranged his schedule to include all important centers from the Pacific Coast to New York and the U. S. C. student body is highly honored in securing the services of such an eminent man. The subject of Dr. Layton's address for Wednesday is "Reconstruction in Central Europe Under the League of Nations.”
After leaving the west, Dr. l>ayton will speak in eastern colleges and will attend a conference at the Academy of Ploitical Science in New York before sailing for England.
The chapel period on Tuesday will be devoted to a series of talks to promote interest in the “Campus Chest Fund” drive, to be held in the near future. Fred McAllister, of the executive committee, who is manager of the campaign, says that it is the duty of every student on the campus to support this worthy charity and “put it over” in good fashion. The “Campus Chest Fund" drive is an innovation this year .combining the efforts of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and Student Fellowship Association.
Dr. Flewelling hopes that President Von KleinSmid will be able to make a few farewell remarks to the students on Tuesday if his crowded program permits.
SIXTY ENGINEERS A. A. E. INITIATES
By CATHERINE POTTER “Your Trojan Spirit Tax Is Due,” and the Y. M. C. A. council has headed the subscription list for the Campus Chest with « pledge of $1<5.
Contrary to the announcement in yesterday's Trojan that plans were completed, Fred McAllister announces these changoe. The Y. M. C. A. Council * under the supervision of Willard Schurr will act as a separate committee and the Y. W. C. A. Council will act under the direction of Helen Green. Sam Gates will take charge of the Freshman Executive Committee which will act as a committee, likewise Red Hayners will have charge of the Junior Executive Committee, Burdette Ives, Sophomore Executive, and Harold Dough-er, Senior Executive Committee. The committees having charge of fraternities, and sororities have been abolished but the committees in charge of the various colleges will remain the same.
Today at noon the plan of the Chest will be formally introduced at Law-Assembly by Ray Brennan.
Wednesday night at In ter-fraternity Council meeting the various fraternities pledged support. The Trojan Knights and Amazons have also pledged support. Thursday at noon the Bachelors were induced to sign pledges, one and all.
A large blackboard in Bovard auditorium will be used to keep tally of the pledges as they come in, and at the Tuesday Assembly President von KleinSmid will make his farewell address to the students before leaving for the Pan-American Scientific Congress and an extended tour of South American countries.

Ives and Bob Irvine put initiates through their tricks.
The ceremony was of an informal nature, calculated to assist the new men in accustoming themselves to the rigors of an engineer’s existence. The spirit back of the stunts required and the evening’s activities were not only kindly but of a helpful trend as well. In preparation for the long journeys which confront the future surveyors ,each neophite was treated to a thrilling ride on that honored nag, Pegasus-of-the-Electric-Saddle. Some of the men learned how to tell the diffeffrence between good and bad eggs, and quite a few had their wisdom teeth stretched a bit. (It was in this part of the ceremony that the only casualties resulted. Several of the young men had their front teeth broken off, but not seriously.)
After the initiation ceremonies had been completed the men enjoyed a good feed of cider and doughnuts. The newcomers were also specially favored with generous draughts of Engineer cocktail. The recipe for this elightful concoction is kept a^ secret by the engineers to keep barbarians outside of their organization from tasting of the sacred beverage. The appartus used during the evening was loaned by the Wreckers Crew of the Forty and Eight post of the American Legion.
offered for the best parody on the popular song, “California Here I Come.” The Pi Beta Phi sorority won the first prize in the contest. The prize was a 4x8 foot U. S. C. banner. The second prize was won by Helen Wheeler, of the College of Law. Fad Thatcher won the third prize. The second and third prizes were tickets to the Stanford-U. S. C. game.
The words of the song are: “California, here we come!
We play football where we’re from! The Trojans! The Trojans! Pride of the South,
Are coming, are coming,
To hit that Golden Bear so hard That he will never make a score!
Of his fame we’ll hear no more Bear meat, Bear meat, we want some.
California here we come.”
This song is to be a tradition and will follow- down through the ages, to be used at every U. S. C.-Cal. game.

Prices for Four, Eight, Twelve Months Delivery is 90c, $1.60, $2.25
When Tommy Wamp parades the campus for the first time this year, he will be walking with one eye on the future. Subscriptions go on sale today for twelve, eight, and four issues at $2.25, $1.60 and 90 cents. These prices are a direct appeal to the saving instinct of the thrifty (and well-dented i college student, for they represent a discount of 25 percent on the regular purchase price of tw »nty-five cents.
The Junior Executive Committee is canvassing subscriptions. The books are also to be placed on sale at the Associated Students Bookstore. A deposit of seventy-five or fifty cents is to be paid on sale and the balance after the delivery of the first issue. The Wampus will be mailed directly to the homes of subscribers.
The first issue, which will appear on or about October 28, is to have a circulation of 2,000. The largest issue printed last year was 2,500 copies, at a time when the Wampus was appearing five times a year—or when the spirit moved. This year it is hoped that Tommy can appear once a month during the school year, and if enough subscriptions are sold, throughout the summer months as well.

It is just a small slip of white cardboard picturing the beaming countenances of Johnnie Hawkins and Jimmie Lawson, participating captains at the Coliseum, November eighth, yet it is important enough to obtain entrance for you and the “Somebody-else” to a’l the joys and benefits of the Trojan Knight-Amazon hop at the Ambassador on the night of the big game.
Of course you want one. And really it is quite simple to get one of these precious cards if you just know how to go about it. After the rally walk boldly up to either the ticket office in the Student Store or to the Office in the Arcade and announce in a firm manly voice, “A ticket to the Knight-Amazon Dance, please.” All that remains then is to fork over the necessary “dinero’’ and walk off the proud owner of a portion of the Ambassador ballroom for one night, an option on Abe Lyman’s orchestra, an original favor, congenial company and plenty of punch, the liquid kind.
All this for the paltry sum of two dollars and twenty-five cents, nothing
but United States coin accepted. Sure you are broke, so is everybody else, but there is always some friend you have overlooked or some article to I leave in the safe keeping of the sign : of the three balls.
These aforementiond pictures of the handsome young men who will be j the popular heroes of the day are taken from original copies which have now jaeen destroyed ,making counter-1 feits impossible.
Dancing will not be the only entertainment offered for the amusement of the guests, according to the committee in charge. Standing on the sidelines, rooting for your friends will be forbidden, but audible comments on both their faults and virtues are always timely, if you care to just sit and rest, well there are plenty of secluded nooks. There will be standing room only around the punch bowls, but who cares for that?
With only a limited number of tickets, and an unlimited number of prospective buyers, something is bound to happen, but the Knights will be on hand at both ticket booths to prevent any riots or gate-rushes.
PIGSKIN REVIEW TO GIVE ‘LOWDOWN’
Student Magazine to Give Age, Height, Weight, Fraternity Of Players
All the dope on all the players—age, height, fraternity, and a flock of other details, along with individual pictures of all the men and coaches of both teams, real action pictures, probable lineup and score card for both games, and other features are contained in each edition of the Pigskin Review. All this may be obtained at any of the games for the mere pittance of twenty-five cents.
A larger number than usual are being printed for the Nevada game Saturday on account of the big demand and the large crowd expected.
The issue for the Stanford game is to be a real surprise. “Bigger and better” and with a brand new snappy cover in two colors, according to “Bart” Hutchins, editor-in-chief.
In addition to the presentation of facts the magazine includes discussions and write-ups by some of the better known sport scribes, giving the j “dope” and “low-down” on the diffffer-; ent conference teams and prospects. With its combination of facts, line-up, | and “inside stuff,” the Pigskin Review j is intended to answer all those questions with which the fair sex want to pester their escorts. The cost of the j book is twenty-five cents and may be ! obtained at every game from one of1 the many.Trojans who are stationed with them just outside of the Coliseum. It is a student publication and ; its chief value lies in the fact that its : recognition as such by the coaches! and others in authority makes its in- j formation the most reliable that can , be lhad by sport fans.

Music will be furnished by the University of Southern California band in spirit as well as in person at the musical rally in Bovard Auditorium this morning, for at this time two phonograph records of U. S. C. music will be introduced. The records, which are the first to be made by a university band, of any school in the country, were reproduced by the Hollywood recording company, and will go on sale for $1.00 a piece immediately following the rally. The money from the rally sale is to be used to pay the expenses of transporting the eighty-five men to the California game.
Records were given to President von KleinSmid yesterday, and he declared himself to be favorably impressed with them. Both the president and Harold Stonier, executive j secretary heartily endorse the sale of ! the records. Mr. Stonier said, “This • idea is very unique, as the University ! of Southern California is the first university to use this method of preserving its music, and the students should take great interest in the sale.”
During the program given by the band in the rally, the phonographic reproductions will be alternated with i the original pieces. One is an entire U. S. C. song, and the other is a com- j bination of a yell, a vocal solo by | Howard Coy, and interpretation of “All Hail.”
As a number of the records are to be distributed among the alumni, op-; portunitv will be afforded U. S. C. mu- j sic to circulate all over the United ! States and will advertise the univer- ! sity as well as giving it a prominent name in the musical world.
Various authorities agree last year, that the U. S. C. band was one of the best in the west, and from all accounts it is keeping up its high standard this year.
It is urged that every student who possibly can, buy one record at least, for besides helping the band, he will purchase something which he can treasure all his life. It is essential that the band gets to Berkeley for its influence will do much for the rooting section as w-ell as the team itself. One campus chief declared, “Every record sold means one mile of progress for the band.”

The parody on “California Here I Come” will be sung today accompanied by the band which has been, for the past few weeks, practising on many new numbers, much to the sorrow of the neighbors of Old College but to the delight of a few thousand Trojans.

10 YEAR CONTRACT
G. N. Wallace Announces News At Ground-Breaking of the Women's Building
“President R. V. von KleinSmid (has recently entered into a ten-year contract with the University of Southern California insuring his constant leadership of the university for at least the next decade,” was the enthusiastically received announcement of G. H. W'allace, president of the board of trustees of the university, at the ground breaking ceremony for the new Woman’s Hall Wednesday afternoon.
“Furthermore,” added the speaker with naivite, “it is my belief that for the next ten years we will have with us, continuing in her unfailing energy and interest, sihe who presides at the home of the president, Mrs. R B. von I KleinSmid.
Mr. W'allace quoted the president as believing that nowhere in any part of the world which he has visited is there a spot with more potentiality for the development of a great university than in the city of Los Angeles, and thus believing is willing to give his exclusive services to the development of that university in the U. of S. C.
Since coming to the University of Southern California three years ago from the University of Arizona, President von KleinSmid has carried to completion many enterprises which have made the development and advancement of the university spectacular.
Through his influence with men of affairs and his great executive ability the possibilities for future advance-are unlimited and it is with extreme satisfaction to all students and friends of the university to learn of President von KleinSmid’s decision to remain with the University of Southern California as its president.
kind of a section at the “Cal” game this year. There are fifty men in the Trojan Glee Club, a sufficient number to bind together any number of students who may make the trip. But
this will be a good opportunity for each one to judge for themselves whether they are going to the dance at the Ambassador Hotel after the Stanford game or travel to the Mill on one of the usual parties. One of the Knights confidentially said that they hired Lyman today for the express purpose of advertising their dance.
Of course Hank will be there to let off a little steam and raise some pep. “Tomorrow is the last game before the big game at Berkeley,” he said, “and at the rally today we have to get in trim for the new stunts we are going to pull tomorrow in preparation for the Bear’s slaughter.”
At the present time, U. S. C. ha3 more spirit than ever before and because of the sudden rise of the unexpected energy, fear has been expressed that it may wear off as quickly as it originated; hence today’s song and music fest to keep things going.
gest colleges in the country get re-1 twenty-five of these men are without
suits. The plan that is followed by many of the large universities in putting over effective singing at games is to have a nucleus of trained singers in the center of the rooting section.
U. S. C. is going to have the same
transportation, and it is absolutely necessary that every Trojan who is going to the game and can take one or more of these men in his machine either sign up on the bulletin board at the Students Store >or see Burdette Ives immediately. Then, on to Cal!

LAWYERS BACK OF TEAM THIS YEAR
Rally is Held in Tajo Building With Ned Lewis and Elmquist
Yelling, singing, and superb enthusiasm were developed at the first gathering of the College of Law* Student Body, in response to the call of Cardinal and Gold. Energy which seemed to have been stored for years was released when assistant yell leader Paul Elmquist applied his arousing stimulants.
The aggregation was well primed for the outburst when Assistant Dean Millikan opened the meeting and endorsed a policy of further co-operation among the students of the Law School and link Uhat institution into a closer relationship with the other colleges of the University.
It is planned to promote assemblies at least once a month and to engage speakers of prominence in the legal profession as well to have rallies in connection with the campus activities.
Just before the arrival of the campus pep promoters, Mr. Grainger an alumni of the Law’ School, gave a very’ encouraging talk regarding the possibilities of U. S. C. against Cal this season. He briefly showed the progress of the team since that first touchdown against Cal in 1921, when their followers were dumbofunded by the fact.
NO BOOING HERE d
Presient Ned Lewis, and leader Elmquist were soon at hand and in a
moment the air was charged with the spirit of a U. S. C. victory. Elmquist s violent song and yell leading, coupled with his witty remarks, were well received and much to his surprise he found the “booing” lawyers weren't so bad after all the reports about campus.
This assembly was adverse to a policy of no asseblies adopted last year and really signalizes a new era in the progress of the downtown institution, contradicting reports concerning the disloyalty and indifferent atmosphere said to have previosly existed. It seems that there has been a spirit of animosity existant among the stu-ents regarding the various institutions from which the students come. It is expected that such rallies will tend to alleviate this feeling and bind all together into one strong union. Ned Lewis, who addressed the assembly, was more than pleased with the spirit expressed by the Law' School and claimed that if all the colleges of the UUniversity would show their loyalty as well as Law did ,there w'ould be no difficulty' in convincing the" team that their Student Body is one hundred percent behind them.
