HENLEY CHOSEN AS S.C. DEBATE WINNER
Iowa Rally to be Biggest Affair in History of Southern California Institution; Student Body Store to Co-operate With Rally Committee and Donate Decorations.
Floating the colors of Iowa and adorned with stickers shouting “Howdy Hawkeye,M the sons and daughters of Troy will turn out en masse on Friday, Nov. 20, in a parade to welcome the Iowa team to Southern California, according to members of the Parade Committee.
Members of the committee stated that when the Iowa team arrives in Southern California they will be greeted by one of the largest and most brilliant parades ever accorded a visiting team in this part of the country.
Plans are being made by the student body store to have gold and black colored crepe paper on ♦ — band for the students to use in decorating their cars for the parade. These will be given away on the day of the big march.
Stickers with “Howdy Hawkeye” on them will also be given away next Monday, they said, to be carried by the Trojan cars during the week.
BIGGEST EVER
According to Ormonde Greer, chairman of the Parade Committee, if their plan6 are carried through this parade will be the largest and most brilliant parade ever attempted by Southern California students. Every car on the campus is expected to take part in the parade, decorated in Iowa colors, and filled with enthusiastic Iowa welcom-en.
Classes will be excused for at least a part of the afternoon in order to give every student a chance to take part in the program. Even some of the sedate professors will be on hand to make this welcome the greatest ever.
ARRIVE AT 2:50
The team will arrive at the Southern Pacific station at 2:50 and the Parade Committee wishes all students to remember that their cars are to be adorned in the Iowa colors of “old gold and black.”

COMMERCE WOMEN’S LUNCHEON TODAY
Miss Weir to Speak on Business Specialization at Residence HalL
Dorothy Hayward, chairman of the women’s group in the College of Commerce, has completed arrangements for a Commerce women’s luncheon to be held tomorrow at 12:15 in the Women’s Residence Hall.
Eince this is the first meeting of this kind this semester, all women in the College of Commerce are urged to be present. Miss Edith M. Weir, head of the University employment bureau, is to give a short talk stressing the necessity for every girl’s being prepared for some specific occupation.
In line with this topic, Miss Weir has said: “It has been my experience here in the employment office that many girls come in to inquire for positions, but when questioned as to
After displaying his ability in the face of the strongest possible competition, William Henley was chosen to represent Southern California in the extemporaneous debate contest to be held at Pomona on November 19.
Most of the prominent Universities of the south will take part in this contest and according to reports received from the other colleges there will be some excellent speakers that evening.
According to Sam Gates the debaters taking part in the final tryouts were given but one hour to prepare their subject, the topic being announced to the contestants at one o'clock with the actual debate at two. The subject finally decided upon was “The Chinese Situation” and those taking part in the tryouts were: William Henley, Bart Hutchins, Manual Ruiz, Chas. Wright and Adna Leonard. Alan NiNchols, debating coach, acted as judge and only decided upon the final winner after great consideration.
Each speaker was allowed six minutes to deliver his debate and a large amount of importance was placed upon the way in which the subject was developed. The religious side of the question appeared to be favored by the majority of the contestants although tsress was also placed upon foreign aggression: trade; and military armament. In spite of the short preparation allowed the debaters, an excellent showing was made by all, and fine talent in the forensic line was revealed.
The subjects for the final contest are to be chosen by Sherwood Eddy, who is a noted authority on the situation in China at the present time. These topics will not be announced till later and no information will be given the speakers as to what they might expect. It is because of the fact that the contest twill be strictly extemporaneous that so much interest is being maniftested in it by the general public and the student bodies of the various competing colleges.
Mr. Henley is planning to spend a
Tomorrow evening, the Junior Class of the Dental School will entertain the entire student body at the regular class dance at the Friday Morning Club. This will be the first Dental School social function of the year.
The freshmen and Sophomores will give their annual dances at a later date. They are doing this, so as not to interfere with the Junior class, who expect a capacity crowd to attend the affair, as it begins the social year of the professional college.
Bert Benson and his Collegians have been secured by the dance committee to furnish the music. They are one of the most noted dance orchestras of the South, for they have furnished the music for many of the leading social clubs of Los Angeles. Much entertainment will be furnished during the course of the evening by professional entertainers.
Dean Lewis E. Ford, of the Dental School, is the sponsor of all the dental affairs. He does this each year in order to diversify their routine of work which he outlines for them at the beginning of the year. The Friday Morning Club was chosen by the committee as it has proven to be the most popular place of the Dental students.
Walter Heinemen, president of the Junior Class has arranged the entertainment of the evening with the help of his class mates. Invitations have been sent to all the members of the dental school faculty. Mr. Heine-man says, “This will be the best function that has yet been given by the Dental College since its founding.”
“All those who are enrolled at the Dental School are invited to come regardless of their class standing,’ said Mr. Heinman, “as we want to have the largest crowd that has ever attended a dental dance.”

LAPORTE PLANNING FILM-SLIDE SHOW
“A real oil painting will be used on the cover of the El Rodeo. This will give the book a beauty and distinctive appearance that can be attained in no other way,” states Ed Murray, editor of the year book. “It is felt that no more appropriate for a cover illustration for the annual of this Pacific Coast university could be chosen than a marine scene. A painting or a ship will probably be selected,” continued Mr. Murray.
The painting will be some masterpiece of recognized excellent. Reproductions will be made on canvas, part of the surface of the fabrikoid cover will be cut away, ar d the reproduction placed in this space. The canvas will be treated to protect the painting. The color of the cover will be such that it will harmonize with the painting.
This use of a real painting will be a distinct departure from anything hitherto seen at Southern California. Always before the cover illustration has been embossed on the fabrikoid cover. The editors feel that this new method will result in a cover more attractive than would be possible with a single color, embossed illustration.
The painting will appear in the upper half of the page. Those who wish
TO RE TAROO AT TRIS YEAR'S Rl JINKS SAY FAIR AMAZONS
“They Can t Do Without Us,” Say Men; “We’ll Show You,” Say the Amazons.
GROTESQUE COSTUMES
One Male Representative—Fan-chon and Marco Scout—Will View Forbidden Sights.
Here’s to the girls, god bless them; they can’t do without us,” so sang the stalwart Trojan.
“Well show you,” answered the fair Amazon, and straightway she planned a gorgeous affair at which no men were allowed. Thus originated the first womens Hi-Jinx on the S. C. campus.
And, as quite a surprise to themselves, the girls discovered they had had one of the best times of their lives, and so each year they turn to the Hi-Jinx as a pleasant relief from the usual run of affairs when they must go prepared with hook, line and sinker if they wish to be in the running so, tonight is that one night in the year when the damsels of Troy make merry without though of jealousy, rivalry, or worries as to complexions and dress.
Speaking of dress — the affair Is strictly formal, and every one who does not conform to these commandments of dress will be decidedly unpopular.
1.	Thou shalt wear something either grotesque, clever or ancient.
2.	The wilder though shalt look the better chance thou shalt have to win a prize.
3.	That damosel who wins a prize shall be considered a very worthy and clever individual and shall receive a certificate of merit.
Only one male representative is to be there. That is a scout of Fanchon and Marco who is coming especially to view the beautiful, stately princesses of the Mos Kaus and the Charleston of the Dormitory girls. Speaking of the Dormitory (the dear dormitory which we have always with us) it seems that life behind its walls has been grossly misrepresented, and this evening the true picture will be presented with all the touchs of realism.
The Hi-Jinx frolic will be held tonight in the “Y” hut, according to Helen Sherman.
Everyone is urged to come promptly at 7:30 in order to get in on all the stunts that will be given. The affair will end promptly at ten.
The list of patronesses include Mrs. R. B. von Kleinsmid, Mrs. Karl Emily Biles, Miss Brown, Miss Belle and Miss Frances Lucas.
The committee in charge of the affair consists of Helen Sherman, Eloine Tiuitt, Katherine Curtis and Jean Delavan.

The main feature of the Montana rally, scheduled for Friday morning, will be two competitive love-making matches.

HARD-T1MES DANCE rv IS‘READY TO GO!’
“Kenny” Faulkner and His Orchestra to Entertain Engineers; Charleston Dancers Sought.
“Kenny” Faulkner and his Engineering Syncopators will occupy the spotlight when the sheiks and shebas of the Southern California campus hasten to the Basketball pavilion for the annual Engineers Hard Time Frolic tomorrow night.
Several verses of a song for the Trojaneers, fashioned after the famous Georgia Tech chant made popular by Warings Pennsylvanians will be presented by Faulkner and Witty, leading lights of the Seven Slip-stick serenades. This melody has the earmarks of becoming a custom among South ern California “Intergraders” in years to come.
This orchestra, unknown before this
speare’s immortal lovers,” is to be challanged by the skit written by “Eddie” Blane and enacted on the stage Friday.
FIRST RATE FARCE
The contest will have two distinct parts. The first part will be a perfectly serious presentation of the balcony scene from “Romeo and Juliet.” “Eddie” Blane and Eleanor Veale will portray the classic lovers in this scene. The second, or farcical portion of the contest, will be a modernized version j and duplicate of the preceding scene. Carrol Greene and Grant La Monte, who will portray the co-ed and campus shiek, are well adapted to their parts. Miss Greene is demure and attractive and is representative of th® modern co-ed. She has a personality that is provocative of the sentiments to be displayed in the campus skit. Grant La Monte, Miss Greene’s male lead, is the antithesis of the modern Romeo. John Atwell and Robert Raede, who had important parts in the “Ea-

mother. This skit is said to be a first rate farce and an almost perfect “take off’ on the more serious characterization that precedes it.
CAST WORKS HARD The casts of both scenes have been laboring strenuously for two weeks in order to make this presentation truly worth while. Unique lighting effects have been worked out and appropriate stage settings secured. Bill Hogue, as master of ceremonies, will conduct the contest and will announce the decision
UNIVERSITY COURTS NEAR COMPLETION
Thirty-fourth Street Site Ready for Players After Thanksgiving Concrete Just Laid.
The three new tennis courts, which are under construction on Thirty-'ourth street adjoining the recently built Architecture Building, are rapidly nearing completion and should be entirely finished and ready for use with two weeks, according to information furnished by the company in charge of the construction job.
The new courts are being built with a cement surface. The concrete has just been laid, and it is expected to be completely dry in ten days. At that time, the work of completion will commence; the posts and nets will be set up, the lines painted and the wire barriers erected.
All the work of construction should be completed and everything made ready for Southern California tennis players within two weeks; so that students returning from their Thanksgiving vacation will find the three new courts waiting for them to take possession.
at the various engineering rallies of th semester. Th fame of Kenny and his seven engineers has spread so rapidly that it was with difficulty that the social committee obtained their services for tomorrow night’s reign of joy.
An exhibition Charleston dancer of theatrical fame is being sought by the social committee to inject a novel atmosphere into the festivities. Latest steps from south of the Mason Dixon line will be demonstrated for the benefit of those who follow the modern the pudges to the audience trend of the light fantastic.
According to a local engineering Seer the only sure way for a Trojan to stave off bad luck and hard times is to make a pilgrimage to the Mecca of fun and frolic at the Basketball Mosque and throw himself upon the mercies of Providence. Cautious ones of the campus have already assured themselves of good fortune in the years to come by purchasing their tickets but those who have not had such foresight may still be among the choes and obtain the few that are left at the Associated Students Book Store or at the box office in the Administration Building.
