“The administration is not over us in this work,” stated Atwill, “but we are on our own. There will be student officers and a student executive committee, with a faculty ad visory board. However, this board will not have anything to say about our plans. It is up to us.”
Officers, composed of president vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, will be elected at a meeUnp Thursday noon in Touchstone. An executive committee will consist of the elected officers, and four men or women who will be at the head, respectively, of committees on play-writing. producUon, directing, and acting. These four people will be chosen on the basis of their previous experience in their chosen line of activity. Each of these four will have others under him to assist in the work.
A list of the names of those attending the meeting, with the respective interests, was taken at the meeting yesterday.	,
Although fifty attended the meeting, many more are expected next week, according to Walter Outler production manager. Rushing week kept away many of the girls who had expressed their interest in the movement, and some of the engin eers who are interested in the electrical end of production, a class in religious drama, and a class in costume derrfgn froTa the College of Architecture, were unable to attend the meeting.
“We are expecting a large turnout at the meeting next week.” stated Outler. “There is a place for every one on the campus, and student in terest is already working toward making this our largest creative cam pus activity."

FR0SH-S0PH0M0RES NOT TO BATHE
KNIGHT TRAFFIC STAND PRAISED
Harold Stonier Backs Campaign of Knights, Daily Trojan, Against Reckless Driving.
In commenting on the seeming lack of respect for the traffic laws on the part of certain students of Southern California, Harold Stonier, executive secretaty of the University said yesterday, “I am heartily back of the Knights and the Daily Trojan for the stand they haVQ taken in the matter. The responsibility for the enforcement of the laws has been given to the students themselves. If they show that they are incapable of assuming such responsibility, action such as has been taken is necessary.”
It was pointed out tnat tne Police Department of the City of Los Angeles appreciated the fact that students of an institution such as the University should be granted special privileges and had cooperated to the fullest extent with the University authorities in the granting of such discriminations. Had such not been the case, the cars that are now parked vertically on University avenue would otherwise have been forced to park parallel to the curb (Continued on Page Three)

Contrary to the general belief, the freshmen and sophomores are not
going to wage bloody combat. The rumor that there was to be a more sanguine affair besides the regular soph frosh brawl began last Thursday, Sept 23, when a number of the class of 1930 were noticed carrying around rocks just the right size for throwing. Growing interested, a number of students decided to investigate and what was their surprise when it was found that members of other classes, both sexes, were armed in a similar manner and seemed to be heading in the same general direction. However, it was soon found that the frosh were not revolting and that the sophs and upper classmen were not gathering to squelch the rebellion; it was merely the gathering of the geology class who were required to bring in samples of stones.
There seemed to be quite a bit of confusion as to the definition of rock. One student brought as his contribution a brick, a piece of concrete, and a tile.
During the class period students. were requested not to drop their home work as someone might have his foot injured.
Plans for a Freshman get-together dance to be given next Friday afternoon from 3:30 o’clock to five in the Men’s Gym are being worked out by the entertainment committee of the class.
To date, plans include a program of novelty dances, and an arrangement of dances in which all except the first and last will be men’s cheat, and perhaps three will be ladies’ cheat As yet the orchestra has not been decided upon.
Committee for the various activities of the class for this semester have been appointed with each committee chairman as a member of the executive committee. Lorraine Young, chairan of the entertainment committee is assisted by Dorothy Klinge, Woody Lou Hunsaker, Gene Ellery and Roy Winborne. The program committee ls composed of Richard Dennis, assisted by Bill Shappa, Bill Sweet and Hazel Grimm. The Home-Coming Committee is made up of Frank Allen and Laurence Shapiro.

GEORGE C. JORDAN
Yesterday a student, whom we personally admire very much, but with whom we sometimes disagree, came to us with the criticism that in writing up the meeting of the student body executive committee we had covered one of the discussions too much in detail. We expect criticism throughout the year in this business of getting out a paper and when it seems wise to us we will take it. On the other hand we must sometimes reject it and when we do we cannot always come back with an explanation like this, giving our reasons for doing so. However, we will say this and mean it to apply to future cases. In our opinion, this idea of being careful of the feelings of this individual and that can be carried to the extent that a newspaper becomes a publicity sheet for the extravaganza and various University dances instead of an accurate report of legitimate news.
DORM WOMEN ARE PLEDGE HOSTESSES
Freshmen Are Introduced At Dinner and Dance Staged At Women’s Residence Hall.
It is not our intention this year to turn this paper into a yellow journal, digging up scandal just to make its columns exciting. On the other hand we believe that it is meant to be a NEWS paper and that as far as is possible it should contain the news. We feel that the student body at large is entitled to know what goes on in the meetings of its executive committee except in those cases where premature spreading of rumors would only serve to satisfy curiosity while failing to materially advance the good of the University. The members of the student body have the right to know the attitudes taken by their student officers on the questions that come up, and we shall continue to print them.
A suggestion was made at the meeting the other night which received little attention due to the press of matters of more moment. However, it was well worth considering and we throw it out here to see what the student body cares to do with it. It was suggested that more use be made of the University’s fine pipe organ, in such fashion, for example, as the holding of noon recitals, etc. We believe there are splendid possibilities here and wonder that the idea has not come out before. If there are music lover^ among us, this is their chance to come out and render a genuine service of a distinctive nature. We have heard old “grads” of other institutions hark back to the chimes in the towers of their Alma Maters as being among the major influences of their college lives.

Wednesday night the dorm girls entertained some of the pledges from the different fraternity houses for the purpose of introducing them to the new freshmen girls. The guests arrived soon after dinner and dancing was enjoyed until 8:30, the do "zero hour.” Music was furnishe by Louise von KieinSmid, Georgia Davenport, and Beatrice Hannay.
Tlie dormitory is filled to capacity this semester with about one hundred girls, an increase of about thirty over last semester. The girls are from all over the United States. The states represented are New York, Florida, Oklahoma, Montana, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado. Alberta and Ontario, Canada, are also represented.
Things are now getting down to a businesslike basis with a copy of the numerous rules in each room and strict attention being paid to the constitution and by-laws.
And now the Trojan Knights have taken unto themselves a new responsibility, that of tagging the cars which violate the city parking ordinances around the campus. This seems to be an attempt to meet a real problem and it looks to us as if the organization, under Red Dales, is well on its way to live down the old feeling that some students had that the Knights were good only for the enforcement of traditions upon freshmen and not very good for that. This Squire arrangement is just the thing. It has legitimatized the sophomores in the doing of something that they are always dying to do, anyway, and it frees the Knights to branch out into lines of more serious service.
Students To Pick Yell Leaders During Rally Today
Tryouts for the position ef assistant yell kings will be held during the rally period today. “This is to be one of the most important rallies of the term,” states “Dee” Tallman, president of the Associated Students. “By the reaction of the students to the men trying out they are selecting the men who will conduct, and who will be responsible,' in a large part, for the S. C. rooting section during the remainder of the year. The men chosen today will be the ones who will do much toward keeping up the Trojan spirit in rallies and football games. It is therefore urged that all students be present at today’s rally.”
The members of the executive committee will be the final judges of the tryouts. A special meeting of all members will be held today in the Student Body office at 12:20 to cast the votes that will deterine the identity of this year’s assistant yell kingi.	,
Twelve men will try out. They wiii be presented by Burdette Henney, head yell king, who will give their various qualifications for the position.

WAMP MAKES HIT ON TROJAN CAMPUS
October 5 is Date Set for Deadline On Next Number of Humor Magazine.
Appearing on the campus at an early hour, before the first classes, the “Nursery Number” of the Southern California Wampus was distributed yesterday. The famous “kitty” registered the highest sales in its history, according to Adna Leonard, manager.
Energetic salesmen were posted at every entrance to the campus, and few students got by without purchasing a magazine. Numerous professors give testimony to the fact that the vivacious feline was a complete success, and all of the student body seemed united in its endorsement of the Issue.
The Blue Law Number of the Wampus will appear just before the Southern California-Berkeley game, and football will be one of its outstanding features.
Everyone interested is urged to send in contributions immediately, as the deadline is October 5th, stated Milton Booth, the editor.

This ruling of the committee about posters and stickers is a good one, too. We rather like the idea of the soph stickers which glared at the incoming freshmen frpm the sidewalks. As a freshman, ourselves, once, we got a thrill out of it. But a good thing can be carried too far and after the introduction is made the first week there is no good reason for the littering of our “spacious ex-(Continued on Page Threa)

Law School’s annual class election battle will be staged Monday. The fortunes of several ex-Liberal Arts candidates will be in the balance. In the Freshman class all the class officer nominees are transfers from Liberal Arts. Manual Ruiz, exdebater extemporaneous speaker, and Varsity track man, as well as a present member of the Executive Comittee of the Associated Student Body, is one of the nominees for the class presidency. The other nominee is Arthur Fres-ton, former Liberal Arts student, debater, and Bowen cup winner. Ce-cile Zobelein, nominee for vice-president, Archie Eckdale and Eugene Craven, nominees for Executive Committee, are all Liberal Arts transfers.

According to Dean Porter of the Law School, 63 percent nf this fall’s freshman class registration was from Southern California’s Liberal Arts College. Last year’s percentage was 30. The dean said that he could remember when it was exceptional to have any Southern California Liberal Arts students in the freshman class.
