ARNOLD ESTIMATES SATURDAY CROWDS
Assistant Student Manager Believes 26,000 Persons Will See Washington State Game.
Between 26,000 and 28,000 people is the estimate of the attendance at the Washington State-Southern California football game at the Coliseum Saturday, October 9. Arnold Eddy, assistant student manager, believes that the attendance will be 26,000, the eame as at the Trojan-Cougar game last year; P. Marshall, ticket sales manager, has a more optimistic view and thinks that 27,000 will see the game; while Gwynn Wilson estimates that no less than 28,001 will be present.
The number of people attending the Southern California games so far this year are: Whittier, 16,000; and Santa Clara, 26,000. The record crowd for last year was at the Stanford game which brought forth 69,000 people. The official capacity of the Coliseum is 74601.
A large number of visiting bankers who are attending the convention will be guests of the local bankas at the Saturday game, and special stunts are being arranged for their benefit.
The a’)ove wire has been received by the Daily Trojan in regard to the recent dismissal of Dr. Henry Suzzallo. president of the University of Washington, Monday night by the Board of Regents. The threatened strike of the 6500 students was called off today by student leaders, and only a slight drop in attendance is noted in response to the posters protesting the action.

BAND WILL STRUT UNIFORMS AT GAME
Roberts Promises Stunts To Honor Bankers Saturday; Usual Drill To Be Put On.
“Watch the band Saturday, when it parades on the Coliseum field between halves of the Southern Cali-fornia-Washington State game.” This is the advice of Harold Roberts, director of Musical Organizations and conductor of the Trojan band.
According to Roberts, the much-heralded new collegiate uniforms for the band will make their first appearance Saturday, instead of at the game with California, as was previously announced. Just exactly how the uniforms are made, what colors they are, etc., Roberts refuses to tell, but promises that they alone are worth the price of admission to the game.
Bankers who are attending the Bankers' Convention in Los Angeles will be special guests for the day, and Roberts announces that the band is planning several novel “stunts" especially for them, in addition, there will be the customary drill formations and music at intervals uuring the game itself.
PHARMACY EXAMS CALL S. C. STUDENTS
Alumnus Expects 200 Persons To Avail Themselves of State Board Opportunity.
Pharmacy Students are availing themselves of the opportunity to take the State Board Pharmacy examinations for assistant and associate pharmacists which started yesterday and will be held for the remainder of the week in Hoose 206.
All pharmacy students who have had three years of experience in a drug store or work in the pharmacy school of the university are eligible for the examinations. According to C. Swiggett, a Trojan alumnus, who is conducting the examinations for the State Board, more than 200 Students have taken advantage of this opportunity for taking the examination. However, the outlook for passing the examination is not so optimistic, for he states that he believes that but 35 per cent of those attempting will pass.
“The drug store business is hard wojk ” says Mr. Swiggett. “After passing examinations and graduating from pharmacy school, the student’s work has scarcely begun.” Those who are successful in passing the examinations will be given licenses as assistant pharmacists. Five years of experience is necessary before one may become a licensed pharmacist.
Examinations are held every three months at Southern California under the direct supervision of the State Board of Pharmacy.

Tryouts for the Men’s Glee Club were completed Tuesday evening. Forty men among the many tryouts were chosen by Hal Roberts, J. Arthur Lewis, and Walter J. Zamecnik.
At Saturday’s game a new idea is to be tried. The Men’s Glee Club will occupy a special section in the rooting section directly in front of Henney. They will sing a few feature numbers as well as lead the remainder of the section in college songs. It is hoped this will be just one more step toward a bigger and better rooting section, according to Walter Zamecnik.
Practices next week will be at 4:15 Tuesday and Thursday in H. 305 and J. Arthur Lewis, instructor, wishes everyone to be present for each and every meeting. Among other engagements the Glee Club will sing over the radio from time to time. Following are the names of those in the club:

STUDENT HURT AS . HE FAINTS TWICE
Hugh Gennison Injures Head and Face When He Faints In Bovard Arcade.
Falling flat on the brick floor near the center arcade of the Administration Building, Hugh Gennison, freshman, hurt his head and face when he fainted while attending his hygiene class at Bovard Auditorium at 9:00 yesterday morning.
Gennison was attending the lecture of Prof. I^a Porte when he realized that he was ill. He started to go out, and when he reached the doors he collapsed. The other freshmen who saw him rushed their assistance, picked him up, laid him on the table at the center arcade, and applied cold water to his head and face. He recovered after five minutes.
As the nine o’clock period was over, he started to go to his next class at the Old College. But as he reached the south lawn he collapsed again. His friends who were with him carried him to a car and rushed him home.
GEORGE C. JORDAN
The trouble that the students are having at the University of Washington is one of the reasons why we are glad that this is a denominational institution and not a state one. Or perhaps, to be safe, we should say the Washington situation brings to our mind a reason for being glad. We do not know what is going on up there, of course, but we do know that state universities have been known to be at the mercy of the political fortunes at the capitol and we are glad that we can vote for anybody we please at Sacramento without fear of having good professors turned out to make jobs for political hangers-on. In the meantime we wait patiently for the governor up there to wire us the other side of the picture. It makes good reading.
* * *
Speaking of “good reading,” reminds us of a little incident. The other day in a moment of weakness w. told a man on the other end of the telephone, who purported to be the editor of the Los Angeles Examiner, that he might quote us as saying that as far as we could see, if there is more immorality among college students of today than among those of the last generation, certainly both men and women are involved. We also lost our presence of mind to the extent of saying that there are undoubtedly many college girls who hold themselves pretty cheaply in the eyes of men and that there are men who are quite willing to take them at their own valuation. Just that and nothing more did we say. Imagine our surprise upon seeing our name to some such statement as that conditions among the college men and women of today “could not be better!” Whether or not this generation is going to the dogs is a question we prefer to leave to the master minds, but we object to being thought so blind as to say that conditions could not be better. Maybe Dean Laughlin of the Southern Branch said what the Examiner writer quoted her as saying, and maybe she believed it, too. But if she did we are certainly ready to measure her for a Pollyanna medal.
* * *
And now that that is off our chest, we return to congratulate President Roll for the way he has taken this Law School election proposition. We still believe, as we did at the first, that it all arose out of a simple and rather logical misunderstanding between two individuals. But we are told that some of the lawyers waxed pretty warm and it is a credit to Roll that the matter is straightened out and that an understanding has been reached for future occasions.
* * *
We have it as an inside tip that there are going to be some officers on the campus very soon, possibly today, to enforce the traffic regulations on the campus drives. Certainly there is going to be a lot of grief around here if they arrive unexpectedly, and possibly some if they come announced. For fixed habits are hard to break and some of us have certainly molded our reckless driving habits here thoroughly. But it is time that something is being done. If the Knights can’t stop the students, the traffic department will. And what is more, we are for both President Tallman and the Administration in their criticism of the traffic problem here. It will be too bad if it costs some of us money to learn what a fireplug means, but we can’t say we haven t been warned.
According to Professor Judd of the University of Chicago, the average person should read and absorb a page of an average book in two min-, utes.
DR. KNOPF SUCCEEDS 10 PASTORATE HERE
Dr. William A. Brown Is Given
Important Post at Buenos
Aires, South America.
That Dr. Carl Knopf, a professor in the Southern California School of Religion and a member of the Southern California Conference of the Methodist Church, is to succeed the F-ev-erend William A. Brown as temporary pastor of the University church was the decision reached by the conference delegates at Pasadena recently. Dr. Knopf will take charge of the services beginning Sunday.
In speaking of his new appointment, yesterday, Dr. Knopf emphasized his intention of putting on a church program that will be attractive to the students of the University here.
“I believes that the church that can meet the spiritual needs of modern youth will automatically be meeting the needs of age,” said Dr. Knopf yesterday. “It is my intention ot make this genuinely a university church.”
In outlining his plans for his new undertaking Dr. Knopf stressed his intention of offering live prayer meetings with real thought in them for the students and announced the following subjects: Oct. 13, “My Catholic Brother,” Oct. 20, "My Jewish (Continued on Page Three)
FOOTBALL MENTOR TO TALK AT RALLY
Final Tryouts For Assistant Yell Kings and Jazz Orchestra Are Features of Assembly.
With more than one special feature included in the program, today’s rally should prove to be more than usually entertaining, according to “Dee” Tallman, President of the Associated Students.
A jazz orchestra will furnish harmony for a few moments, after which Burdette Henney, yell king, will present the four aspirants for the position of assistant yell kings. The four men, Gordon Pace, Thomas deGraffenreid, Francis Needham and Archie Lewis, will each be given one minute in which to lead a yell.
The main feature of the rally, according to Tallman, will be a talk by Coach Howard Jones, head mentor of the Southern California football team. Coach Jones will speak on football prospects for the coming year. The athletic situation of the University will also be presented. Coach Jones will deal for a time with circumstances concerning the California and Stanford games.
All members of the Executive Committee are urged to attend the rally, and the special meeting in the Student Body office at 12:15, when they will select the two men who will aid Burdette >Henney during the coming year.

Plans Are Being Worked By a Committee of Four Headed By Ravelle Harrison.
Plans for a smoker to bring together and introduce the pledges of the fraternities on the campus are being worked out by a committee appointed Tuesday night at the regular meeting of the Inter-fraternity Council in the Theta Sigma Nu house.
Frank Ferguson was named chairman. Mike Elwood and Jack Cohn will work with him.
“The committee hopes to make the program so attractive that the affair will become a semester tradition on this campus,” says Paul Fritz, pres-

ANNUAL FEATURES
Dorothy Baker Named Editor of Section For Women s Activities In El Rodeo.
Among the new features of the 1927 El Rodeo will be a complete Women’s Section, to be edited by Dorothy Baker, according to Ralph Holly, editor. This will be the first time that women’s activities have had complete and individualistic representation in a Southern California yearbook, it was stated.
In selecting Miss Baker to supervise the section. Holly says, “Miss Baker has had practical experience on the Trojan and the El Rodeo. She is well acquainted with women’s activities on the campus and is prominent in committee work. Her ideas as presented in laying out the section are original and it is my belief that Miss Baker will introduce the section in such an effective manner that it will never be discontinued in an S. C. annual.”
The women’s section of the El Rodeo as planned, will deal with every phase of women’s activities on the Southern California camp»« That women’s athletics on me campus

the yearbook is the belief of the editor. Not only will athletics be featured in the section, but every activity in which there are women participants should be recognized.
Details as to the exact nature of the section have not yet been decided but that the general idea will be carried out is announced definitely. Miss Baker and Holly will announce final arrangements later.
FORENSIC LEAGUE TO DECIDE POLICY
Questions of policy for the coming year will be decided at the annual meeting of the Southern California Forensic League, which will be held tomorrow afternoon at Pomona. S. C. is a member and will be represented by Coach Alan Nic'nols. Arthur Syvertson, debate squad captain, and William B. Henley, debate manager.
One of the most important matters to be discussed at the conference is the question of judging. Last year the “no decision” system was used. According to Mr. Henley, th{~ method is unsatisfactory, as the aeuaters dislike to spend so much time and effort unless a decision is given so that they may have an opportunity
to bring honor to their college. Subjects for debates will also be decided, as well as the question of whether or not to have extemporaneous contests. Members of the league are Occidental, Pomona, Whittier, Redlands, Southern Branch, and Southern California.
Mr. Henley states that the sophomore members of the squad will probably engage in these contests as it will give them good practice and prepare them to meet the teams of the Pacific Coast League next year. Those who made the squad in their freshman year are Frank Colston, Charles Wright, Elwood Harmon, Edward Lawrence. Marion Garrison, and Virgil Pinkley.
