The distribution ©f the 1926 book is being held up on this account. Payments may be made in the book store. TT HE actions of several promi-nent campus organizations today brings not only disgrace to their respective groups but also holds the management of the 1926 El Rodeo up for severe criticism. Several groups who have repeatedly neglected to pay for their space in the 'J rojan yearbook are holding up \XA distribution of the annual today. The big book was to have been circulated this mom-ing, but the management has set down the iron-clad rule that none will be issued until the delinquent groups come through. Burdette Ives, the manager of the El Rodeo, has kept his promise, and will not issue the book until the money for the space is in the business office. Every year some organizations delay the book because they neglect to pay their bill. This year the book was ready for distribution on the promised date. Editor Ed Murray and Manager Ives have labored throughout the year to make the book possible on the date promised, and then their good work is completely destroyed by a few. It is unfair to these men to hold up the distribution of their book. Wf wish tc clear tbe management i of tbe book ln this respect They are I doing exactly what their office calls Jr.that of handling the book in a loess like manner. The groups which are holding the El Rodeos ln the hands of the management instead of having them distributed on the campus today are: Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Bachelors Club, Delta Sigma Rho, Delta Sigma Theta, Delta Mu Phi, Gamma Lambda Sigma, lota Sigma Pi, lnter-fraternity Council, Japanese Students, Kappa Alpha Gamma, Mathematics Club.

If you have any acquaintances in any of the above mentioned groups let them know that you regret their neglect. The books uill not be issued until absolutely every organization has paid its space. ♦ ♦ ♦ ->HE second national fraternity in „ two years has come upon the Southern California campus, following the installation of the Kappa Alpha (Southern) on the campus Friday. Last year during the summer months Kappa Sigma came to the campus, going to the Lambda Psi fraternity. That was the first national fraternity to have come on the Trojan campus for some time. After a year Kappa Alpha (Southern) comes to Phi Alpha, the oldest local organization on the campus. It has meant many years of work for the local group to become recognized^ but their labors have been rewarded. To the outsider, the struggle of a local group petitioning a national is not known, but it is a struggle in view of the opposition encountered by many. Local fraternities have come to reach exceptionally high standards and are representative groups of the University of Southern California. It is only just that they be recognized as worthy men to wear the emblems of the ^ largest of national organizations. CHAPTER OF KAPPA ALPHA IS INSTALLED Initiation Ceremonies Held Friday and Saturday; Many Men Installed. Installation of a new chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order, national social fraternity, at the University of Southern California, took place Friday evening. Thirty-one active and seventy-five alumni members of Phi Alpha, the second oldest fraternity on the U. S. C. campus, were formally initiated into the Kappa Alpha order in the lodge room of the Hollywood Masonic Temple. More than 250 alumni and acUve members of the national fraternity participated in the installation. The initiation ceremonies Friday evening were followed by a banquet Saturady night at the Biltmore Hotel. Bishop H. J. Mikell was the main speaker and other speakers included Dr. R. B. von KieinSmid, Harold J. Stonier, J. W. S. Butler of Sacramento, Everett Mattoon, Barclay Leeds of Stanford, James Pepin of California and Charles Paddock. More than 200 Kappa Alphas from all parts of California were present. The Phi Alpha local was fortunate in having Bishop H. J. Mikell, Episcopal bishop of Georgia and knight com mander, present to install them. The bishop arrived from Atlanta Wednesday evening and left for Washington yesterday morning. Mr. Chiles, former knight commander, who came out from Lexington, Missouri ,as well as J. W. S. Butler, province commander, of Sacrameato, participated in the installation ceremonies. The active Kappa Alphas from the California and Stanford chapters were also present. The Phi Alphas have been prominent in campus affairs for the last twenty-eight years.

Hal Williamson, who is head of the radio department and through whose efforts, to a large extent these programs have been made possible, will preside as master of ceremonies. The programs have been presented every Thursday night of the school year, the last one being presented last Thursday. i We trust that the advent of Kap-Ipa Alpha < Southern ) to the Trojan Icampus «All pave the way for more national organizations. The University of Southern California new i has but a small handful of men's \nationaIs, but it will not be long until she will have chapters from Lj majority of the larger groups. CAPERS OF CUTIES CHEER CAMPUS CAT Wampus Features S. C. Co-eds in “Lass Number’ Out Tomorrow; Final Issue of Year. The pre-final gloom that spreads over the campus is due for a great jolt tomorrow. In fact joy, laughter and beautiful girls will be the order of the day. For the “Lass Number” of the Wampus, S. C.’s famous feline, appears tomorrow. According to Editor Hutchins this final explosion will be the culmination of all efforts since he has been editor From the cover to the other cover Tommy is'sleek. beautiful, and funny. The girls will be honor guests at the cat’s little party tomorrow. Several pages of pretty faces will make this number one to be remembered. Brvant Hale is responsible for a cover that is absolutely new for col lege publications. One of the assistant editors remarked. “It’s a shame that Hale had to go and draw a cover like this now. With all the professional offers that will be sure to come in he’ll never have time to act as Wamp’s furrier again. But gee, what a treat the campus will get this time.” While not claiming that this is the hottest number ever, the fact that a play with the scene laid in the lower regions is used, makes Tommy a rather torrid cat. A big sales force will be on hand bright and early, and Wamp’s circulation will be properly taken care of. Tommy begs to announce that he is receiving material for the Nursery number which will appear in September. Material must come in before the end of the school year. Copy will find its way to the cat if it is left in the Wampus box in Mr. Huse’s office, if it is delivered to Wamp’s own hangout over the Students’ Store, or if it is handed to Milton H. Booth, the editor elect of the magazine. GREEK DELEGATES NAME OFFICERS AT MEETING THURSDAY Paul Fritz Chosen To Head In-terfratemity Council At Meeting At Phi Tau House.
