Good eats, fortune telling, jazz, and 1 nothing over ten cents. Those are the greatest attractions announced for the annual A. W. S. Carnival, which comes off Wednesday from 12 to 1, or* the Old College lawn.
The carnival, which is under the supervision of Lissa Baker .president of A. W. S. and EChel Oliver, chairman of booths, is given to raise money for the new woman's building. Last year the proceeds helped to pay the expenses of Marion Wood, who repre- | sented the A. W. S. at the $200 plate luncheon.
As all fraternity and sorority houses have been asked not to serve lunches that noon, a record-breaking crowd is expected to join the merry

M., Friday, December 5th, as a part of the program celebrating the First Annual Home-Coming of the Alumni of the University of Southern Cali fornia.

Her last picture, ‘ A Daughter of the Gods,” appeared for a several weeks' run in one of the large theatres of this city.

This lecture is the third of a series of talks presented by the Women's Athletic Club.

Prof. Caparfs address, which is scheduled for the evening of November 24, in Bovard auditorium, is the first he will deliver in Los Angeles and will be open to the public free of charge.
Mort Kaer Outstanding Figure With Three Touchdowns To His Credit
The meter of Whittier College’s poetry ran all amiss, backfired and took reverse english at the Coliseum last Saturday afternoon, and what was intended as a little lesson in blank verse for Mr. John Trojan turned out to be a nightmare of arithemtic for the poet football eleven. Elmer C. Henderson’s team in rolling up a total of 51 digits ran the Whittier ends dizzy, completed passes for touchdowns and crashed through the visitor’s line at will. Incidentally Coach Henderson's job is safe for another week, and our dear alumni have ceased the subterranean sport of ‘firing the coach.’
Last Saturday’s game proved a good workout for the varsity gridders who were permitted to romp for some twenty-five minutes of the hour’s pas-

At the debating tryouts held Thursday afternoon, the following men were chosen to represent Troy in this particular activity for the coming ^rear: Bill Barber, Bernard Brennan, Ray Brennan, Ned Lewis, Arthur Syerston, j Adna Leonard Jr., Manuel Ruiz, Bill j Moore, Al. W. Griewe, Leland Tallman, | William Henley, George Lewis, Al I Silver, Sam Gates, Paul Cunningham, and Lloyd Griffith. It was only after a long period of close scrutiny on the parts of the judges before the above were chosen, as in addition to last year's team, 22 new men tried.
According to Coach Alan Nichols, who, with Bill Barber, captain of the squad, made the selections, the 1924 try-outs were the most successful ever held. Not only in number, but in enthusiasm as well were they a success, and he feels the debating rapidly coming into its own as a major activity.
Coach Nichols was well pleased with the large number of Freshmen who turned out .and he was glad to be able to put several of the Frosh on the squad.
It will be seen in the list above that eight men from last year’s squad were

Another commendable angle of the' affair lies in the work of the invitation committee. Since the fathers of the football men will be invited to the men's dinner ,the women have decided to have the mothers of the gladiators present at their dinner; in as much as President von KleinSmid would have been present at the men’s dinner, the women have made sure that Mrs. von KleinSmid will grace the table at the women's banquet. Mrs. George F. Bovard will also be invited.

This morning is November 18.
This morning is Tommy Wamp’s i birthday.
A gigantic celebration is in progress in the cat’s ancestral dwelling ,over in the Journalism building. Ice cream and cake are being served to all those who have been able to prove that they have been on the subscription list for the last ten years, and can quote at least two Jokes from the current number. An orchestra of typewriters is giving forth harmony wfiile the joyous staff clusters around a huge birthday cake, rue, it has fifty candles and has a red and green legend across its face, “Economy Begins at Smith’s Dept. Store,” but that is only natural, as that is indeed where it was borrowed. The cat walks.
All the colleges are on his visiting list, and those who believe in spirits and things like that wiil have a new argument when Tommy appears simultaneously at Law, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and the Metropolitan.
Who's the best-dressed man in town?
What is it proper to drink with chow mein, and if so, how often?
When addressing a lady, Is it correct to drop one’s g’s, and if one does, should one pick them up?
These are a few of the troublesome questions settled once and for all by Tommy Wampus. Is this information worth a quarter?
Over fifty specialists have conspired to make the Wampus the cream of savoir faire ,sang froid ,etc. Have they succeeded? Spend a quarter and find out.
Why go to the movies, when the Wampus ,with its thirty illustrations which were refused to the Saturday Evening Post and the International Studio .will come to you for less than the price of one admission, much less
