The Spirit of Troy
“The idea of bringing the seniors to the football dinner was one of the best conceived here for sometime. We do not see how any one of those men that sat in on that affair could be indifferent about getting in on the next one.”

NOTRE DAME EARNS LONG END OF 13 -12 SCORE
JUNIOR PROM IS IMPORTANT TOPIC 10 MEN
Big Formal Creates Much Interest Among Men and Co-eds; Corsages Also Present Problem.
“To prom” or miss the greatest social function of the year is the problem faced by the Southern California men concerning the Junior class tux-reunion, taking place Saturday evening in the
new Elk’s Temple.
With favors original and unexcelled,
decorations distinctly formal and unsurpassed, music furnished by a campus orchestra, and entertainment excellently planned, the prom is expected to be an unparalleled success.
!t is to be a real Junior Prom having the traditional grand march lead by prominent men and women of Southern California and having above all, that atmosphere of formality necessary for such an occasion.
According to some of the prominent alumni of Troy the importance of the Junior Ptom is growing every year, and should be one of the greatest events of a student’s college career.
“The alumni bewail the fact that they did not have the chance to have a Junior Prom, for it is only in the past few years that such a function has taken place”, stated Julia Norton McCorkle of the Englisn department.
“The Junior Prom should be the biggest event of the year, and every Junior man and woman should be assessed for the affair, thereby, assuring its success”, stated Professor James Mussatti.
Another problem before the students is “to buy a corsage or not to buy a corage”.
“The question of corsages is up to the individual, but corsages are very impractical for this type of function” stated Gladys L#ee, vice-president of the student body.
Y Conference Will be Held At Asilomar
Southern California May Send Fifty Men; Campus Leader On Program.
Fifty men may attend the Asilomar Student Conference as* delegates from the Southern California campus Y. M. C. A., according to the latest reports. This quota is the same as during the past few years and it is expected that the places will soon be filled, reservations having come in very rapidly. The conference will be held during the Christmas vacation.
Don Newcomer, who is chairman of the Southern California delegation, reports that the plans for the conference are rapidly materializing and that the program will contain several very prominent men.
A large part of the conference time will consist of open forum commissions or discussion groups on subjects of vital interest to all University students. From Southern California, Glenn Turner, Don Bailey, and Harold Reed have been appointed to lead certain of the conference groups.
The assembly will be held from December 26th to January 2nd, during the Christmas vacation. All Universities and Colleges in the Pacific southwest will send delegates, the total number amounting to several hundred. By the co-operation of various people connected with the trip, the cost to each man has been reduced to a minimum. Information concerning the conference may be secured at the Y hut.
STATE DEPARTMENT OFFERS WORK HERE
There has come to Dean Waugh’s office from the State Department of Public Works a letter which offers an opportunity for men students to earn a considerable amount of money during the vacation.
The investigation of water supplies in the San Gabriel Valley, the largest work of its kind ever attempted, calls for a larger number of men in flood times than at other periods. Students having any training in hydrographic work, or men who are intelligent and reliable, are wanted for service, and will be paid at the rate of $7.50 per day of twelve hours as assistants. The work is not continuous. and the men work in pairs, two shifts a day. Those who ap^ly should live in Los Angeles or vicinity and will also be paid mileage on their cars going to and from work. Those with special hydrographic experience will be paid higher wages.
FAMOUS COACHES GATHER AT HUGE RALLY AND DANCE
Trojan Students and Alumni Hear Coaches Jones, Rockne Speak At Homecommg Event.
Enthusiastic crowds of students and alumni attended the banquet, rally, and dance which were held on Friday evening, the eve of the Notre Dame game, at the Shrine Temple. The rally and dance were in charge of the Rally Committee, under the direction of Art Syvertson, chairman.
Senior men of the University were the guests of the alumni at the banquet held at 6:00 P. M. Coaches Howard Jones, Knute Rockne, Tad Jones of Yale, were the feature speakers of the evening. The Trojan band was present and played several numbers during the evening.
At the close of the banquet the assembly moved into the Shrine Auditorium for the rally. Here Lieutenant Governor-Elect Buron Fitts, the alumni chairman for the Homecoming festivities, gave a talk. Frank Berry of the Notre Dame alumni association and Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid also gave short talks.
The weather outside seemed to dampen the spirit of Troy not one bit, judging from the response to the yell leading of Burdette Henney. A diversified program was offered by the rally committee and included as (Continued on Page Four)
‘RAH-RAH’ KITTY TO MAKE DEBUT
Creational Wampus Will Appear Tomorrow Morning With New Features.
Tomorrow the third Wampus of this year will appear on the campus, and according to those who know, this “Rah-Rah” number will create a bigger sensation than ever before.
More features and cepartments are in this issue. “The Cat in the Library,” “Copy Cat,” are two of the feature departments. A story by Elva-lee Powell, “A Strong Love,” appears in this issue and is a profusely illustrated attempt to answer the question, “What is College?” The art work is really the big feature according to Milton Booth, and includes a two-page spread by Marwin Connell, single-page spreads by Bob Crosby and Helen Wheeler, while Bryant Hale designed the cover. Some of the other contributors are Don Mike, Ruth Cameron, Bob Alexander, Gertrude Zipser, John Caulthard and Norbert Baum-garten.
Besides this the Wamp will have the greatest collection of jokes, skits, poems and satires that it has ever published. Ralph Huston, Marjorie Hull, Joe Duchowny, Mabel Russell, Joseph Dubin and Rita Padway are some of those who have contributed gems of wit to this Cat.

More Than Two Thousands Students Attended Fall Quarter; Over 150 Courses Given.
A new quarter, twelve weeks in length, opens tonight at the Metropolitan College of Southern California, in the Transportation Building, Seventh and Los Angeles Streets.
“If I could only1 have had the chance to go to coliege—” is seldom the remark of ambitious adults in these days, according to Dr. T. W. Mac-Quarrie, director of Metropolitan College. During the fall quarter just completed, one hundred and fifty evening courses were attended by a student body of more than two thousand men and women, of which number a majority were engaged in different forms of business, professional, vocational, or domestic employment in the daytime.
Convenient-hour college courses, which comply with state teaching requirements or count toward university degrees, are given at Metropolitan College. Full residence credit is granted for all classes.
TOMORROW IS LAST DAY FOR PICTURES
Witzel’s Will Leave Until After Holidays; Proofs and Orders Taken Today and Tomorrow.
The Witzel studio has been moved off the campus, but Miss Edna Butter-i field, who has charge of the students’ orders, states that she will be here today and tomorrow for the purpose of receiving proofs and taking orders for pictures.
“Any student wishing to place an order for pictures must do so before tomorrow night,” said Miss Butterfield.
The studio will be re-opened for the I week after the holidays, and the additional pictures will be taken at that time.

Architecture Exhibit Includes Prints of Japanese Paintings
Rare prints of paintings by those famous artists of old Japan, Hokusai and Hiroshige, are being exhibited ui^ til December 10th at the architecture art gallery. The collection was forwarded direct from Japan through the courtesy of an importing firm in Minneapolis.
The making of the prints is a field j of art in itself, involving separate j wood blocks for each color. Flat [ tones, aerial perspective, and soft colors are imparted during the process and the resultant types are essentially Japanese.
Duplicates of the prints on display may be, ordered for a dollar apiece. S. Shimeyama, one of the local students, will give a talk on them Tuesday at 10:25 in the Class on Art Appreciation.

Architects’ Exhibition of Workmanship Opens For Benefit of Alumni
Representative of the great strides made by the School of Architecture since its founding a few years ago, the first annual exhibition of student work opened Friday at the local gallery from 3 to 6 and all day Saturday for the benefit of the visiting alumni and university at large.
Particularly noticeable in the display is the bold and vigorous execution of the drawings achieved through the medium of geometric lines and skillful rendering. The stamp of individuality is also felt in the art work shown in the allied fields of ornamentation, sketching, and pen and pencil rendering,
That talk of Harold Stonier’s Friday morning was the best thing we have heard in a long time of a nature to make the Southern California spirit seem a real and vital thing. There are many, many Homecoming talks and there are innumerable chances for campus prominents to say the thing that’will sound well. But somehow that talk had the stuff in it, it rang true.
* * *
We especially appreciate the story of the nearly blind alumnus who had returned to see his varsity play its last game by reason of a little experience of our own Friday. We were in the student body office when a little, grayhaired .man hailed us like a long lost comrade. We had never seen him before and we do not see how he could have known us. But an old-fashioned “S. C.” monogram on his white sweater showed that he was one of the “boys back for the game. To him it did not matter whether he knew us or not. We were all Southern California men up there and that was enough. Later, Friday evening, we saw him again at the football dinner, sitting right where he could see everything, missing nothing. He was the holder of Southern California’s first two-mile record. No wonder he felt that way, he had once fought for Southern California.
* * *
A few days ago we spoke of talking with Dr. Hunt about the Trojans he is going to meet as he circles the world and we told th«; thrill that came to us then. We had that same feeling the other night when we sat with twelve hundred men, most of whom had come back from the world of business and affairs to sing the old songs, give the old cheers, and meet the old friends. We also saw a good number of undergraduates. That idea of bringing the seniors to that dinner was one of the best that has been conceived here for sometime. We do not see how any one of those men that sat in on that affair could be indifferent about getting in on the next one. At the tables some of us complained of the service. Well, it was poor enough. But after all, we didn’t go there to eat. We went there to “feel’’ Southern California spirit running high and we were satisfied.
* * *
It seems as though it takes the Dents to come through with the punch when there is a call for a demonstration of real spirit. To those who may recall our little difference with their president at the last executive committee meeting this may sound like a “sop,” but it isn’t. It is their due. They put on some good stunts and they backed those stunts with a good, fighting bunch in the audience, just as they supported their yell leader a few weeks back.

For the benefit of those who are wondering why the succeeding instalments of the new constitution have not followed, we explain that we have been held up on account of a technicality. The executive committee, at its constitutional sessions, went over the document to write in the general provisions which they wanted. But these provisions must be put into words and printed and the approval of the Administration (Continued on Page Four)

To the Editor:
Nothing worthwhile is possible without the concerted effort and cooperation of a number of people. I wish to take this opportunity to thank, through the columns of the Trojan, all of those committee chairmen and their workers who came through so splendidly to make our Homecoming program a success. I sincerely appreciate the publicity given us in the Trojan and the work of a multitude of people who donated time and material to the work.

Trojan Advertisers Save You Money
Abounding in mystery, and differing from all other plays of its type in that it contains no gunshots 'in the dark, no windstorms, or weird lighting effects, the presentation of the Senior play, “In the Next Room,” on Tuesday evening, December 14, in Bovard audi-| torium, promises an innovation in the way of thrills, according to John Atwill, manager of student productions.
“In the Next Room” has enjoyed an enviable record in New York and London. In its New York presentation, it appeared at the Little Theatre, under the supervision of Winthrop Ames, foremost American critic.
Ray McDonald, university play di-
rector, is in charge of the production, and has expressed himself as being very well satisfied with the progress of rehearsals Marcus Beeks and Amanda Chambers carry the two leads, with a supporting cast of eleven characters.
A specially constructed set is being made by the Los Angeles Scenic Company, and will aid materially in the success of the presentation, according to Atwill.
All seats for “In the Next Room” will be reserved, and will go on sale in the Students Store Wednesday, December 8, at fifty and seventy-five cents.
