PROM PLANS ARE MADE
START WORK ON ANNUAL AFFAIR
Committees Are Appointed By Junior President; Dec. 10 or 11 Tentative Date.
Formulating plans for the 1925 Jun-1 lor prom and appointing the more important committees, the executive committee of the Junior class met j at the Phi Mu house Tuesday evening, under the leadership of the class president, Morley Drury.
This important event, which will climax the 1926 social season, is the crowning achievement of every Junior class, and according to Carroll Greene, vice-president, the class of ’28 will do everything in their power to make the dance eclipse anything ever offered at Southern California in the social line.
The official O.K. concerning the date has not yet been received from tke office of the Dean of Women, but it will probably be held on December 10 or 11. This is the week following the close of football season and just before the Christmas vacation, thus enabling the Trojan varsity to be present as guests of honor.
Various committees were appointed by Morley Drury and Carroll Greene to take charge of the arrangements for the prom. Marcus Beeks was given the problem of finding a desirable location for the dance, and Eddie Oudermeulen was entrusted with the music for the evening. Howard Edgerton will be in charge of the decorations, and Wayne Harrison, as publicity manager, will let the world know of tbe coming event.
The selection of favors will be j >eft in the hands of Betty von KleinSmid and Mildred Martz, while Art Beggs will handle the programs. Bus Blanchard will take charge of the ticket sales, and special entertainment for the evening will be arranged by Carl Plate.
Morley Drury, class president, stated that he was extremely optimistic regarding the success of the Junios prom, and felt assured that the various committees working under the leadership of Carroll Greene, would pot across a dance which will more than uphold the popularity of this traditional social function.

Pan-Hellenic to Consider Rushing Rules Friday Noon
In recent Pan-Hellenic controversies Southern California sorority
women have expressed their belief that “rules will continue to be violated until they are both specific and practical.” It is with this view of the matter that recommendations for new rules will be submitted to Pan-Hellenic Friday noon.
Stating that at the present time a radical change to rushing rules is inadvisable, tht revision committee has outlined certain changes which it considers of prime importance. These will be presented for Pan-Hellenic vote and discussion. Some of these recommendations, in substance, follow:
It ia to be specially emphasized that the night date is not in any sense of the word a “preference dinner.” Per capita maximum assessments for sorority groups will be considered.
"It is not fair for houses of forty members to be limited to the same expense in rushing as those of fif-
teen or twenty,” commented one of the committee members.
With special reference to the so-called “cut-throat” rushing, the committee has suggested the following: That the time limit during formal rushing for campus conversations between sorority women and rushees be limited to ten minutes, and that bids for the one. night date be telephoned instead of given verbally.
At the Friday meeting, It is expected that the completely revised rules will probably be gone over, including those suggestions made by the revision committee which Pan-Hellenic approves, and those additional ones passed by Pan-Hellenic in meeting. Members of the revision committee are: Kappa Alpha Theta, chairman; Delta Delta Delta, Pi Beta Phi, Zeta Tau Alpha, Phi Mu, and Theta Omicron. At the Tuesday meeting held at the Pi Phi house all members were present except Theta Omicron.

SOPHOMORES ORDER CLASS SWEATERS
Orders Are Being Taken By Representatives of Silverwoods In Arcade; Garments Designed For Men and Women.
That the annual raising of the Trojan war flag will take place in front of Bovard Auditorium at 9 o’clock Friday morning, October 25. was an nounced by the Rally Committee yesterday. This ceremony was begun j last year and occurs only before | games of importance.
At 8 p. m. Friday the California ’ rally will be held. A program will be given by the Trojan band and the 1 production department will present a skit. Dean Healey and Dr. Elmer ( Fagan are the speakers of the even-, ing.
At 9:30 the program will close and the students will leave immediately for the north on the special train,1 according to the present plans.
Orders for sophomore sweaters will be taken today and tomorrow in the arcade of the administration building by two representatives from Silver-wood’s. Through the courtesy of the firm, sophomores will be measured for their sweaters as they order them.
Registration for sweaters has been. very good so far. One hundred sophs ! had signed up by Wednesday noon. The majority have been men, but sophomore women will probably order their class sweaters when it is understood that they are designed for women as well as men. Delivery within fifteen days and a bargain price ot four dollars will make the sophomore sweaters especially desirable.
Ex-Committee Takes Steps Toward Popularizing “S. C.” As Against “U. S. C."
In a renewed attempt to popularize the terms “Southern California” and “S. C.” as opposed to “U. S. C.,” President Leland Tallmar appointed two committees to work toward that end, at the executive committee meeting Tuesday evening.
One committee, composed of Martha Wiggett, chairman, Red Dales, and Ray Broomfield, was appointed to investigate the possibility of getting the students to cooperate in the use of the two terms upon which the administration has decided.
A permanent committee was also named by Tallman to keep in touch with Harold Stonier, executive secretary, Burdette Henney, yell leader, and Allen T. Archer, chairman of the alumni committee. The alumni have been working on this matter for two years.
A resolution was passed to recommend to the rally committee that they adopt an official sticker or stickers. The stores are to be requested to sell only these in order to preserve a uniformity.
Mr. Stonier will make an announcement of the administration’s plans at the rally on October 22, before the California game, and will make a plea that no one use the term “U. S. C.” while on the northern trip.

And now the big business is coming “thick and fast.” Probably the most important question before the student body right now is this matter of the Southern California caravan to Berkeley. In so many words, we cannot blame the student who is going in a machine because he can do it cheaper, but if it is at all possible, the train is the thing. There are good reasons for this.. The first one is that the student body should as far as possible go in a body to Cal and the Executive Committee has named the Southern California Special as the way. The second reason is that the University has entered into an agreement with the railroad company, an agreement which will reflect great discredit upon the University if not lived up to by the Trojans. To ask the consideration which has been granted by the Southern Pacific company and then to promote some other way of going is poor business. Everything has been provided for our enjoyment if we go by train, the Southern California Special deserves our first consideration.
* * *
We have been told that one of the fraternities is arranging to go in a body by bus. We do not criticize the organization. But now that the matter has been called to their attention, we are asking the members if they consider that to be working in harmony with the rally committee and student government to promote the best interests of Southern California.
* * *
But one thing is foremost in the mind of every Trojan amongst us. Whether we go by train, auto, bicycle, or on horseback. WE ARE ALL GOING TO CAL!
* * *
And right along this line is the coming visit of President McCarthy of the California student body. Whatever may have been our feelings toward Cal in the past only one thing is open for us now, and that is to give the representative of the Golden Bears the most royal and hospitable welcome of which we are capable. He is coming here to establish a better understanding between his institution and ours. Soon our president will be returning the visit. In the interests of Trojan good spirit and American open-mindedness w e welcome Mr. McCarthy. The best we have in the way of attention to his words and entertainment while here are to be his.
* * *
Another matter of vital interest now is this rumpus stirred up by the Los Angeles Times over Howard Elliott's purported “ousting” from the varsity^ The explanation for all this is to be found in some over-anxious downtown reporter, trying his best to “make good with his editor. That Elliott lost his temper is true. That Coach Jones sent him to the showers for the afternoon is also true. But that he was in any sense*“kicked off the team or treated differently than almost every player is treated at some or o^ier in a four years career is not true. Elliott was out on the field yesterday afternoon practicing, and we are told that he lunched with the coach yesterday. Whether this be true or not., he is still on the varsitv, very much so, as we hope our friends from the north will find out.

Abandonment of an “honor system” j scheme, the appointment of a com-1 mittee to confer with President von KieinSmid relative to having student representation on the Faculty Wel-j fare Committee, the appointment of a special committee to handle the details of the trip to Cali'ornia by train, discussion as to the method of revising the present constitution, and a ruling by President Tallman on the legality of Manuel Ruiz’s seat on the Committee were the chief items of business taken up at the regular Executive Committee meeting at the Alpha Gamma Delta house Tuesday evening.
Discussion on the honor system report of Jeffery Smith seemed to lead to confusion in the committee, but the concensus of opinion seemed to be that legislative attempts to bring about an “honor spirit” are of little avail.
“We have such traditions as the front walk ruling and the senior bench, let's incorporate another tradition and make it the tradition of honesty,” was the comment of Bill Henley.
President Tallman reported Dr. von KieinSmid as having looked with little favor upon the previous recom-., (Continued on Page Three)
