The bathing girl contest is the top feature of the issue, according to Milton H. Booth, the editor. He says that the age-long demand for a con-

“The raising of the Trojan war flag is always an impressive ceremony, and should be doubly so on this occasion,” stated Henney. “As the assembled students sing ‘All Hail’ with bared heads, the Trojan symbol of victory will slowly be raised to its posHion outside the tower. It is our hope that it may remain there throughout the coming week.”
The story runs only about five hundred words, but if statistics are to be believed, it contains five hundred wise cracks, and twice that many laughs.

Representative of Witzel's Studio
Will Be In Office Every Afternoon From 12:30 Until 5.
El Rodeo photographic headquarters over the Associated Students Store are now open and actual camera clicking will be in progress every afternoon from 12:30 until 5. Juniors and seniors are the first Trojans to be “shot” and are urged to put in an early appearance. Juniors wil! appear in their “civies” while seniors will don cap and gown for the picture.
A representative from Witzel’s, the Los Angeles firm to whom the contract has been awarded, wrill be present at the studio every afternoon and will be at the service of the upperclassmen first. A complete set of camera equipment has been installed in the El Rodeo offices in such a manner that students can have the job over with in just a few minutes.
Ralph Holly, editor of El Rodeo, states in regard to photography for the 1927 El Rodeo, “We have secured the services of one of Los Angeles leading photographers. We have succeeded in getting a campus location for a branch studio which is a matter of conveniece to the student body. Now all we ask is the co-operation of the juniors and seniors in putting in an early appearance to be photographed. With their help, we can make the photographic section of the 1927 El Rodeo what it has never been
before.”	*
Les Heilman, business manager for El Rodeo, joins Holly in stressing the point that an early appearance on the

of vast importance. He states that a number of El Rodeo staff will be present at all time to help and offer suggestions.
GEORGE C. JORDAN
We want to expiess our appreciation to Harold Stonier for the letter which appears in today’s “Trojan.” Since there have been California and Stanford games off the campus there have been appeals to the student body to go en masse and support the varsity and there have been professors who refused to fall in line with the spirit of the time and be reasonable with the students. We believe that the attitude of the administration has been clearly shown in this letter to be in sympathy with the student trip and there is no reason fof- a professor giving a Friday examination except his own personal desire to cross the student program
There has been some talk of “double cuts” for absences on Friday and Monday. This is an erroneous rumor and we take this chance to kill it. As far as cuts are concerned this coming Friday and Monday are the same as any other Friday and Monday. As for the talk which we have heard to the effect that there should be no school on Friday or on Monday, in the case of a Trojan victory, a little calm reasoning will show that to be an unreasonable demand to make of the Administration. The Trojan Special, which has been sanctioned by the student executive committee, does
Trojan War Horse To Be Seen In Rooting Section.
Plans for having a great. Southern
California rooting section at the California game Saturday are being completed by Burdette Henney, yell king.
“The stunts themselves,” says Henney, “must of course remain a secret until time for the game. However, rest assured that the Trojan Horse will be there in all its glory. It will wiggle its tail and blink its eyes and maybe the fore feet will move.”
Henney assures that the stunts will take care of themselves. “If the crowd is there, I’ll have the stunts,” he says. “We can’t be too sure of ourselves, however. We’re not overconfident but we are going north with the idea that we will beat California. Coach Howard Jones tells me that if the Student Body is 100 per cent in the bleaches they will h,elp the team 75 per cent towards winning l the game.”
The performance of the rooting section at the Occidental game last Saturday furnishes an idea of what to expect for the Berkeley game.
The band played their drums in imitation of a train starting up. Then a whistle sounded and bells were rung. After this effect was created the rooting section yelled “On to Berkeley.” Then the band favored with “California, Here We Come,” while the rooting section flashed a locomotive in Cardinal and Gold.

arrives in Los Angeles again on Sunday. There is, then, no justification for saying that we are being urged to go and prevented at the same time.

As for the students who are going in machines, we honestly believe that if a man s university spirit is worthy of that name he will support his varsity even though he does have to cut his Friday class. If our Alma Mater isn t worth taking one cut for, she isn’t worth the months of hard work put in by the football team to bring honor to her. The only thing we do say to the members of the faculty is this: we are willing to take our cuts on Friday and Monday, but we do believe

The contest is intended to sponsor better and more carefully written news items in the Daily Trojan, stated Harold Silbert.

RIDGEWAY SPEAKS AT LAW ASSEMBLY
Tallman Asks For Cooperation Of Law School In Student Body Activities.
Thomas Ridgeway, President of the California Bar Association, was the guest and principal speaker or the Law School assembly yesterday morning. His address was on the general subject of Bar Associations.
“The law student,” Mr. Ridgeway said, “must embrace in his curriculum elements othe^r than the regular studies. He must form acquaintances, especially among practicing attorneys. One’s success In the prores-sion is measured, in one way, by the universality of one’s acquaintance. One of the functions of the Bar Associations is to help members of the profession for these acquaintances.” After Mr. Ridgeway’s address “Dee” Tallman spoke. The essence of his message was a request for the cooperation of the lawyers with the general student body In carrying out the policies of the administration. Tallman expressed the conviction that the Law School, as an integral part of the Associated Student Body and the University, so dove-tall ed into the scheme of things as to make the fullest of co-operation essential.

These changes were made as a result ot the misunderstanding which came up at the beginning of the semester when a sorority was charged with the violation of the old rules. The council is the sorority governing body and is made up of representatives from each house on the campus. - In order that each sorority will be-

That the administration of the University is willing to co-operate with the members of the student body on the mater of the California game trip is shown by the following letter, which was sent out yesterday from the office of the president to the members of the faculty.
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Office of the President
October 18th, 1926. TO MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY:
A number of rumors have come to the office concerning class work during this week and next. It is the desire of the administration that the entire University community regard every college day as a part of the regular program.
Friday, October 22nd, and Monday, October 25th, should be regarded as normal college days. Rules regarding absences should apply and regular work should be required. Special work, however, might well be arranged for other than the two days mentioned.
