WAMPUS GIVES CAMPUSTREAT
“Best Yet” is Verdict Handed “Old Timers” Issue of Wamp; Full of Live Humor.
By THE OBSERVER
For the second time out of the seventh volume Wampus came unto the campus yesterday. It was a happy number as it should be and its white spaces were filled ably by its literary and art staff. A first glance, extensively desultatory, gives one a pleasure in the balance of the make-up and in the location of the contributions arranged so that even the most fastidious and critical iwould give praise.
After a more assidious study of the Wampus, of its editorial matter, its art work one could not retire early or with retiring not awaken without being refreshed with a sense of delicious humor. From the cover drawn by John Post and lrom some of the inside material it seems that the Wo-m< n’s Dormitory received more publicity than they would have been given them if they had a fire.
improvement is found in Post’s ability as a cover artist. There is not so much of the caricuture and more of the difinite artistry. His other contributions for this issue are commendable.
I agree with the editors of the prize contest in their final selection of the best. Miss Hull’s effusion on the girls at the dormitory is finer than ordinary razz. It is more on the elevation of pointed satire. Those contributors who received honorable mention are to be praised. They are Dorothy Davis. Joy Greenberg, Mamie Ixtuise Idling, Helen Scheuer and Milton Booth. Especially delightful is the “Love Ballads” of a “Professional Advertiser," by Dot Davis. These prize winners are responsible for many of the good contributions in the Wampus.

UNDERCLASS PLAY REHEARSALS HELD
‘‘The Enchanted Cottage” Being Prepared For Presentation on November 11.
Rchersals for the underclass play, ‘‘The Enchanted Cottage” by Arthur Pinero, have been going on steadily for the past two weeks and Wednesday morning Nov. 11, Miss Hanna says the student body will witness one of the finest productions ever released in this institution.
Sir Arthur Pinero is a master of technique, and for many years has ranked as the undisputed leader of the English drama. Clayton Hamilton says, ‘‘Sir Arthur Pinero writes plays with both the intellect and the emotions—with the two so harmoniously blended that it is impossible to distinguish one from the other.”
“The Enchanted Cottage” has a postwar theme. The hero is an ex-soldier w'ho has become a physical and mental wreck as a result of his experiences at the front. The production is es- j pecially adopted to an Armistice Day presentation, because of its historic, background.
The play is to a certain degree, a fantasy or a dream. The fantasy is'
E DENNISON IS SPEAKER AT PRE-LEGAL

Henry Johnson, president of the society, states that a definite program for its development this year has been outlined by the cabinet officers. This program is to be, the securing of authorities in every field of law to speak to the prospective lawyers at their meetings, and the development of social and inter-collegiate activities of the Society by banquets and by debates with Southern Branch. ‘ ‘In general,” says Johnson, ‘‘our policy is to be one of interesting all pre-legal students.”
In line with this development of interest, plans are now being laid for the petitioning of a national honorary pre-legal fraternity.
An outline of the schedule of meetings of the Society for the first part of the year follows:

Southern California Alumni After Iowa Game Tickets
‘‘More tickets have already been sold to the.. Southern.. California alumni for the Iowa game than the total sold for the Stanford game,” was the unusual statement made by Arnold Eddy of the ticket depart-menL This is a definite indication that the Stanford defeat has not diminished the interest of the alumni in the Southern California team.
The graduates are planning to be in an organized group at the game in order to make a more unified showing than if they were scattered around in different sections of the Coliseum. As the game is during the Homecomin»g celebration, more alumni will be in attendance to support their Alma Mater than usually witness the football contests.

S. C. TEAMS ENTER COMMUNITY DRIVE
Students Under the Direction of Knights and Amazons Volunteer for Community Chest.
At a meeting of Student Body leaders and faculty executives held in the Executive Secretary’s office yesterday, plans were completed for the University of Southern California’s participation in the Community Chest drive. The service organizations on the cam pus, namely the Trojan Knights, Squires and Amazons wrill have teams in the field. It is expected that there will be nearly two hundred students on the job.
According to Harold Stonier, who is directing Trojan participation in this campaign, the results of this one drive will mean a great deal to every student both because of his interest in the University and ..because of' his in-; terest in the community. If this drive is successful it will establish the cus-i tom of incorporating the campus drives in the regular chest drive.
The elimination of campus drives will enable the school to focus its attention on student activities entirely such as rallys and building up of
tion at Jackson, Miss. Other cities on his route will include Chicago, Washington, and New York. The president is expected to be back in this city by November 21, so that he may take part in the events of Homecoming Week.

FROSH FROLIC
After having waited patiently for a number of months, the lawyers, yesterday found themselves attending class in their newly completed building. All classes of both the day and night school were held and scholastic work was taken up again without delay. Although final work on the building has not as yet been completed the various rooms are furnished and the library has been put in order. The books were shelved early in the week and the necessary furnishings were moved in yesterday. Dean Porter and the law faculty opened their offices and carried on business as before.
The Dean remarked, “I would like to thank the friends of the University for the cordial welcome extended to the faculty and the student body of alw. We appreciate the cordiality and good will expressed and will do our part in fostering the President's plan of solidarity of the University. We invite everyone to visit our new quarters and to become acquainted with the members of the College.”
On account of the delay encountered in the completing of the auditorium it was impossible for the student body to hold a formal meeting and dedication service, but according to “Chet” Dolly, arrangements are being made to hold this student body dedication on the tenth of November. On that day plans indicate that there will be some high class professional vauder-ville acts and adresses by the leading members of the faculty. The affair will be followed by a froe lunch or barbecue and social meeting.
On Friday, November 20, a formal reception will be held for all the graduates and prominent people connected with the college, followed on Saturday morning by an open house reception. On the reception committee lor
#
Saturday there will appear the naii^st of many prominent graduates c»f the school and an effort will be made to. reach most of the law alumni in order to inform them of the affair. These two receptions are to be worked into, the Homecoming week program sc? that most of the university alumni will have a chance to visit the new building.
The formal dedication of the new building will not take place until early in the spring. This delay has to be undergone in order to assure the presence of some men of national importance whose business will detain them until that time. President von KleinSmid has left on a trip to the East where he will interview these men and obtain their services.
The faculty of the school will remain the same and no new students will be enrolled until the next esmes-ter. At the present time there are over three hundred and thirty students attending, but this number is expected to be raised on the completion of the present term.
| The library of the new building will j be open to all students of the university, the only condition to be met be-j ing that of obtaining permission at the library desk.
