EXECUTIVE BOARD VOTES ON NEW MEASURES
Special Rooting Section Arranged For Girls at Stanford Game
MANY REPORTS READ
Harold Harris Urges Continuation of Service Campaign for Another Year
As a result of he petition presented to the Executive Committee by Rita Padway, the girls of the university will have a section reserved for them next to the men’s rooting section at all the remaining games, beginning with Stanford game. The petition asking that the girls be allowed to sit in the rooting section was signed by 400 women. They expressed their willingness to comply with the rules governing the rooters’ section.
The Glee Club, which has in the past been on an uncertain base was granted its petition to become a university organization.
Phil Nash, president of the student body of the College of Pharmacy, assured the committee that the Pharmacists were 100 per cent for everything supported by the other colleges of the university. “The whole student body leans toward sitting in the rooting section. We will meet as a body and occupy a part of the rooting section.” Other business brought up before the committee were:
The Y. W .C. A. was granted permission to sell chrysanthemums at the Stanford game.
LARGE SUM RAISED The Amazons announced that the collection taken up at the pep rally Friday netted $340.G0, all of which will go to sending the band to the Cal game. Miss Gertrude Street gave a report of the action of the Amazon Court. Probation sentences were given in nearly all cases.
At the suggestion of the University of California, a Regional Student Confederation composed of the colleges of the west was left in the hands of a committee composed of Alice Ralph, Donald Watson, and Sam Gates. The committee will report at the next meeting of the Executive Committee the adviseableness of adopting California’s proposal.
FAREWELL SPEECH GSYEN BY PREXY
President Speaks in Chapel Before Departure For South America
Dr. R. B. Von KleinSmid gave a farewell talk at Tuesday’s chapel. Having been chosen by the President of the United States as representative of this country in education at the Pan-American Scientific Congress, he is soon to leave for South America.
In the first part of his speech, the president told of the importance and purpose of the Congress of which he to be a member. He emphasized the fact tlhat it Is through education that international brotherhood can be brought about. The universities form the one great institution similar the world over and therefore provide common ground for the promotion of international understanding.
Most of the larger universities of South America are to be visited by the party. Dr. Von KleinSmid will give speeches at these universities and thus will be able to carry U. S. C. to the universities of the western hemisphere. He said if he could convey an attitude of friendliness between students of South and North America, ihe would consider his mission to have beeo successful.
In the second part of his talk the president stated that six weeks of the semester were already gone and that a large number of the students have not yet found themselves. He com-pard us to a horse left untied, which first started to walk away, then to trot, and then to gallup, finally ending by breaking its leg in a ditch and having to be shot. He w-arned us, having been placed on our own responsibility for the first time, against “running away with ourselves."

Team Leaves For Bay City Friday Night on the U. S. C. Special Train; Thirty-Six Men To Make Trip
By FRED JENKINS
With the chances of winning the BIG GAME better than ever before, the Trojan football team leaves Friday night for Berkeley where they will meet the Golden Bears in Strawberry Canyon Stadium the following day. The old psychological thought that Calitorn.a has something on U. S. C. in football does not worry the team and the student body this year and for the first time in history, the Trojans will go into tho Bear game with at least even odds. Coach Elmer Henderson is taking thirty-six men or three complete tennis to battle his greatest rival. In every instance, the men are in good
Oshape and fairly itching to get into the battle. There are still several minor casualties but unless something unforeseen turns up b#fore Saturday at two thirty-six Trojans will be ready to fight to the last line.

VACATION FOR STAFF
Due to the general belief that the campus will resemble the Deserted Village Friday, this is the last issue of the Trojan until a week from today. As Tuesday is a holiday, the issue for that day will not appear.
The Trojan staff wishes to take this opportunity of wishing the student body a pleasant sojourn in San Francisco, and not to forget t.o read of the great Southern California victory in the next issue.

A great deal of debating enthusiasm was created at the Delta Sigma Rho smoker held at the Phi Kappa Tau house last Thursday nigiht. Nearly 'fifty candidates for the squad were on hand, and the success of the affair, says Ray Brennan, debate manager, assures U. S. C. of a record debate season during 1924-25.
Bernard Brennan, president of Delta Sigma Rho, was in charge of the program, whic hwas composed largely of speeches of welcome by those high up in Trojan debating.

His ankle is almost completely well. Badgro. another end who was out with a bad knee, will probably get into the game at some time.
Trojan fans still think of the 1921 invasion into the Bear’s lair with a little shudder. The team, under Captain Charley Dean, hoped to bring a pelt but the Smithmen proved too

VACATION AHEAD
On account of the California game on Saturday and the coming presidential election there will be no classes held in U. S. C. next Monday and Tuesday.
Many faculty members and students whose homes and voting places are in far parts of the state, necessitate their absence from the campus on the first two days of the week.
Classes will be in regular session Wednesday.

Big Dance Al Ambassador

“The dance is strictly informal,” said Burke Long in an interview yesterday. “There seems to be some misunderstanding on this score. Because everybody feels more at home
among
popular members of the faculty. The elaborate decorations and ‘ clever favors, which are in the hands of the Amazons, are being planned with an eve to artistic detail and originality. Without a doubt the big drawing

the stiffness and formality usually	coanut Grove syncopators. These jazz

doesn’t mean maybe.”
With over half the tickets already sold and the rest going fast, the dance is an assured success, financially at least. Though the Ambassador ball room 'will hold twelve hundred couples, there have been only eight hundred tickets printed, and fifty comps. Figure it up for yourself, mathema-
also at the Ambassador hotels in New York and Atlantic City. After hearing that “12th Street Rag” and those "Savanah Blues” rendered at last Friday’s rally, with all the tricks and mannerisms that belong to nobody but the inimitable Abe, no one will deny these jazz babies the right (Continued on Page 8)
Wednesday evening the drive ended on the campus with a total of $3,300 in the chest. The campaign will continue today at Dental and a special effort to raise contributions will be made at class meetings. Members of Liberal Arts committees are soliciting around the Dental building also.
“The Executive Committee,” said McAllister, “is uncertain what to do. We need $5,^00 to carry on these organizations. The goal set is a minimum and it must be raised. In all probability the chest will be reopened early next semester. *We do not believe the students of U. S. C. prefer the numerous drives system and we are giving them one more chance.
“Perhaps one reason for the failure of the chest at this time,” continued McAllister, “is on account of the numerous other places to spend money, the Cal. game, Stanford tickets, Stanford dance, etc., but the main reason seems to be that the students think this is just one of a series of drives. Had the students supported this drive loyally this would have been the one and only drive for money this year. However, we will keep faith with the students. There will be no new drives this year, but it is likely that the old drive will be renewed.”

Late Afternoon Teas To
Have Revival On Campus
Four O'clock Teas to be Resumed Wednesday by A. W. S. Affair Immediately After Regular Meeting of Y. W. C. A.
SENIOR DANCE TO HONOR SYRACUSE
REWARD OFFERED
There is a reward offered for the return of a valuable brief case belonging to Miss Hanna of the School of Speech which disappeared from the office of Athena Hall, third floor of ber of guests at our first informal tea.
Reviving the almost forgotten, yet charming, custom of entertaining the women of the campus at informal four o’clock teas, the social committee of the Associated Women's Student Body will serve tea next Wednesday afternoon immediately following the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A.
Before the club rooms were moved to their present location, and when cozy wicker furnishings made the rooms in old college a meeting place frequented by co-eds, the late afternoon teas were a popular feature of campus life.
A. W. S. is, in campus parlance, a women’s organization of which every woman becomes automatically a member on registering at U. S. C. The social committee is composed of one representative from each campus or-fanization, and will renew the feature of hospitality next Wednesday afternoon for the first time in the past three years.
“To all women of the campus the inivitation is equally cordial,” says Lissa Baker, president of A. W. S., “and we are expecting a large num-
Old College building, Tuesday. The case was valued as a gift, and contained valuable papers.
The idea is this. Twice a month on Wednesday afternoon at four o’clock tea will be served at the Woman’s
Hall, and we want campus women to get the habit of dropping in, if only for a few minutes.”
“Where is it?” is a question frequently heard asked by fresfhmen women and transfers, when the Women’s Hall is mentioned, and it is to combat this unfamiliarity, even ignorance, together with the ever-present get-acquainted motive, that the A. W. S. teas are to become once more a custom on the campue.
The Women’s Hall, located at the corner of Thirty-fourth and University avenue, directly across from the branch library, has been staiWing this year more than ever practically unused. Its reason for existing, being that of a meeting place for campus women, is standing practically at nil, and the typewriters, library and parlor furniture are about to become musty with neglect. Admitting that the present hall is not all that it might be, the social committee of the women’s association, points out the fact that if campus women lose the drop-in habit altogether, they will not use or appreciate the new club rooms which are soon to be constructed in connection with the dormitory unit.
An executive meeting is called by the president for today noon, and all members are urged to be present.
Affair to be Included in Program Of Homecoming Week At University
That the senior dance in honor of Syracuse team will be included in . the program for Homecoming week is the plan of the senior dance committee. The affair will be given on December 6, after the Syracuse-U. S. C. game and the visiting team and alumni will be the guests of honor.
The place chosen for the dance is being kept secret for the present, but Johnny Wood, chairman of the committee, promises that the announcement will come as “one of the biggest and best surprises of the year.”
The programs are being made to order and will bear both U. S. C. and Syracuse seals. Special favors are to be given the honor guests.
“We intend to make this a real university dance in every sense of the term,” said Johnny Wood. “The music, the decorations, even the place are going to be in harmony with the spirit of U. S. C.”
Several orchestras are under consideration, but as yet no definite choice has been made. It is the intention of those in charge to secure the very best music possible for the affair.
Marguerite Matson, senior vice-president, says, “We are going to limit the number of tickets to a reasonable number so that everyone who comes will be assured of a fair share of the dance floor.”
The date for the ticket sale has not yet been decided on.
