Frosh to Burn Hats; Fireworks to be Featured; Ex-Trojans to be Introduced; 25,000 Expected to be There.
By TERREL DE LAPP
Embracing the throning of a Trojan warrior, a mammoth fireworks display, stunts by the Trojan band, burning of Frosh hats, and the introduction of ex-captains of football and ex-presidents of the Southern California student body, the Rally Committee has completed plans for the Iowa-Trojan rally to be held in the Coliseum at 9 o’clock, Friday, November 20, according to Sam Gates, Chairman of the Rally Committee.
Harold Stonier, Executive Secretary at Southern California,
♦ will deliver his annual football address. Don Cameron, President of the student body, will be chairman of the night. Besides the entertaining features planned there will be yells and songs led by Trojan leaders.
NEW STUNTS IN STORE Freshman hats will be burned at I the big rally, according to word from the Rally Committee. Because of the fact that the rally will be held inside the Coliseum it will be impossible to have a bonfire, but arrangements are being made so that a suitable fire can be built for the burning of the Frosh hats.
Despite the fact that the annual

ifornia women’s Hi Jinx will be held in the Y. M. C. A. hut tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m.
The various sororities and women's organizations on the campus have per-fcted rehearsals of their skits and Blunts 'which will feature the evening of frolic. Although the girls have endeavored to keep the details of the skits secret there have been a few ■“Jeaka.” Zeta Tau Alpha believe that Kipling was all wrong when he wrote “I learned about Women from Her” and have interpreted the famous work to really mean, “I learned about Men from Him.”
The skit starts off with a freshman college girl who has met her first “fellow.” The demure little co-ed is very infatuated 'with more experienced college man but when the heroine finds that, her idol drinks—Oh well girls, that would spoil the story so get the remainder of the story tomorrow night; and the fellows will have to rely on some of their co-ed friends to tell them the rest of the story, as all men will be strictly taboo and the stalwart Amazons will maintain a vigilant guard at the doors and other possible .avenues Of vision.
A prize will be awarded the organization presenting the best skit and most noveJ costumes. Kappa Alpha Theta wron the prize last year and are working hard to repeat their victory •or last years Hi-Jinx.
A prize wjl lalso be awarded the individual girl wearing the most clever co&tume. Unfortunately, however, the judges will be within the ranks of the co-eds and for this reason no predictions Are available.
The affair will be conducted in even the mast minute details by co-ed members of the Southern California campus, including the orchestra which will be composed of: Edith I/lngerfeldt. piano; Helen Sauber. violin; Geraldine lister, bax?jo; Agnes Brown, saxophone; and Miriam McAllister at the traps.
Patronesset for the Hi-Jinx include l.Van Mary Crawford, Mrs. Gren Turner; Mrs. R. B. von KleinSmid, Miss Emily Biles, and Miss Frances Lucas. Miss Helen Sherman, chairman of Y. W. C. A. social committee, is in charge of the affair.
DENTS PROMISED NEW STRUCTURE
The rumor that a new Dental Building will be erected in the near future is false, according to Harold J. Stonier, executive secretary of the university. The structure will be built, however, in the next few years, he stated.
A building site has already been purchased on Exposition Boulevard and Menlo, next to the men’s gymnasium, where a building of sufficient size to accommodate all the dental students will be erected.
Mr. Stonier promises that the dental students will have their new building within the next few years in spite of the fact that Dean Porter waited fifteen years for a Law Building.
tee has in store the greatest assortment of fireworks ever set off at a Trojan rally, and it is said that they will light up the Coliseum better than would the fire.
Hal Roberts will put his band through a series of stunts that promise to surpass any attempted by this versatile organization so far.
The Freshmen and Sophomores are in readiness to carry out a stunt that is scheduled to be the headliner of the night’s activities.
OLD GRADS PRESENT
Carrying on the tradition of having ex-captains and student body presidents at the big rally of the year, the Rally Committee has lined up practically all of the prominent old grads to be introduced to the active student body and alumni.
From present indications it is expected that 25,000 Trojans ex-and present, will t)e on hand at the Iowa rally. This will break all records for rally attendance at this institutoin.
Besides that student Rally Committee, Harry Silke, former student body president, and Professor Tanquary of the Speech Department, have been w'orking on the big rally plans. PARADE AND DANCE

Symbolic terms are to be carried out in the ceremony, which will be in the nature of a candle-lighting service. Girls tre asked to wear wThite in order to present a more unified effect. A processional will first be formed for the entrance into the hall, where the members will be seated in the form1 of a triangle, which is the symbol of the organization.

“The staff for El Rodeo will not be finally known until the day before the book goes to press.” This was the announcement of Ed Murray, editor of the Annual yesterday.
“This year,” states Murray, “those wrho are given credit for their work on El Rodeo must actually do the work, and he has worked out a system whereby credit is given to those to whom it is really due.
This system is as follows: No one is to be announced as a member of the staff until the time for the book to go to press, and then the names of those who have contributed most toward the success of the annual will be placed in it as staff members. In this way, according to Mnrray, a greater incentive will be provided, and more actual wTork w'ilL be accomplished, thug insuring a better El Rodeo.
Murray says, “The budget for El Rodeo has been increased by $5,000, making the total cost for this year's annual approximately $20,000. We feel that, with this amount, it will be possible to provide a better book than ever before, if the standard of work is improved.”
Applications for staff work will be received by Murray any time within the next three weeks at the El Rodeo office, Hoover and Thirty-Sixth streets. Those who complete tw'o year’s work on the staff are elegible, as far as lexperience is concerned, for the editorship.

Today “The Enchanted Cottage” will be presented by the underclassmen in Bovard at 10 o’clock. The students will go to the Auditorium for the regular assembly period and then will be granted a respite from their 11
o’clock class in order to see the play. Those who have not purchased their tickets may do so at the tables in the center walk in front of the Administration building starting at nine o’clock.
A POTENT DRAMA
According to Eddie Blaine, assistant play production manager, the students of Southern California are fortunate in being able to see such a masterful and potent a drama as “Tha Enchanted Cottage.” Sir Arthur Pinero is recognized as one of the leading playwrights of the day and “The Enchanted Cottage” is Pinero at his best, said Blaine. Not only is it his best but it will in all probability be his last great offering to the theatrical world.
So far as is known, “The Enchanted Cottage” has never been presented in Southern California outside of a run at the Community Play House in Pasadena, where it played for many months. Maurice Wells of Pasadena, of the Community players, says: “ The Enchanted Cottage’ was one of the most popular plays we have ever given. It was amazingly effective and the audience went ‘wild’ over the
luncheon was held at noon for the campus workers. About fifty volunteers were present and plans for the conducting of the drive were outlined in full and the districts assiyned. After the issuing of the general instructions, each division Major met with the workers assigned to that district and final instructions were given.
The Community Chest has 137 agencies covering every phase of publicly supported relief and welfare work in Los Angeles. All elements and agencies are brought together in a study of the social problems of the city as a whole. The Chest itself does not do charitable work but fnctions through member agencies. It acts as a clearing house through which cases reported, are investigated and referred to the agency best fitted to handle them.
During the past year 250,000 men, women and children received help through the Community Chest. In some cases tejnporary relief were afforded and ih others lives were actu-(CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)

They may respond by bringing Southern Branch girls.

Y.M. COUNCIL HAS MEETING TONIGHT
The underclass play has always been a popular morning performance. Last year when the underclassmen gave “Smiling Through”, many requests were made for a repeat performance. According to Ellsworth Ross, play production manager, this will be the only performance of “ThQ Enchanted Cottage”, due to the heavy theatrical schedule already on the calendar, and if the students do not see the performance today, they will not get another opportunity. Many outsiders are planning to see “The Enchanted Cottage” and the students are urged.to get in early as there are no reserved seats.
The cast includes some of the best talent in the university, even though (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)
