All committee reports have been made, and arrangements for the dance decided upon. In comenting upon the choice of places for the affair Morley Drury said, “Although deviating from the custom of former years in the choice of the place for the dance, the class of 1928 feels assured that the new location is most admirably suited for this important social function.”
Eddie Oudermeulen and Carl Plate promise excellent musle and enter-tainrient, while the favors are to be unusually fine, more money being spent on them than ever before, according to Mildred Martz and Elizabeth von KieinSmid.

MORE POLICE STATIONED NEAR UNIVERSITY AVE.
“Red’’ Dales States Laws Must Be Obeyed Or Police Will Take Away Parking Privileges.
“Unless traffic rules are obeyed on University Avenue the privilege of double parking will be taken away from us,” said “Red” Dales, president of the Trojan Knights, in an interview last Friday.
“The Trojan Knights have continually warned students regarding traffic regulations, but the student oodv has not responded^ to their responsibilities as they should,” continued Dales.
“The city police department have allowed us to park perpendicular to the curb, thus doubling the usual parking space, but if the students continue double parking, the university will lose the privilege of parking perpendicular to the curb, and reduce the parking space by one half.”
Last week Major Bovard conferred with Lieut. Therkorn of the University Police Station, the result of which more traffic officers will be on University Avenue and vicinity enforcing traffic regulations. “We don’t want to fine the students.” said Lieut. Therkorn, “but we must have cooperation from the students in carrying out street rules.”

EVANSVILLE GIVES FIRST M. A. DEGREES
EVANSVILLE. Ind.—At its sixty-eighth annual commencement which took place on June 8, Evansville College for the first time in its history granted two master of arts degrees. Both went to women.
Today’s “Old Trojan" column was written by the editor and mailed down from Berkeley. It was delayed in the mail and consequently we print it with the date line as a letter from ihe northern campus, although the writer is expected to be back on the campus by the time it is printed.	#
VIRGIL PINKLEY, Managing Editor.
Berkeley, Oct. 27—
We sincerely believe that a new era is opening for the University of Southern California, an era in which Southern California is to come into her own as the representative of the Southland. We admire the spirit of the California rooting section and student body and we are glad to find the editorial opinion of the daily paper standing by the Bear varsity as one “that fought as Varsities have never fought before.” To us that means that California must recognize that in Southern California she has a rival worthy of the best she has.
* * *
At a time like this there come so many truths and ideas crowding into our mind that it is hard to compress the most vital of them into the space we have. Probably, the thought that is uppermost in all our minds now is one of satisfaction and honest pride in the achievements of the last few days. To say that we are proud of the Trojan Varsity is unnecessary. If there ever was a doubt in the minds of a sporting public as to the sportsmanship and fight of the Southern California football teams it must now be forever erased to all who see and think fairly. Those men down there in the Berkeley Bowl won by a clean, hard brand of football that was played by every man on the team, from Captain Jeff Cravath down to the last substitute. The Trojan band outdid itself in showing the northerners what we nean by stunts between the hulfs. ihe caravan that wound its way north by tr*iin, boat, and auto went the limit in support of its team and Alma Mater.
* * *
We must leave the praises of the men on the team to the sports editor. But one bit of typical .fight which might pass unnoticed we must pass on to the student body. To imagine Burdette Henney’s feelings on hearing, at an hour too late to change his clans, that his section had to be cut down about one fourth, we have only to recall that eleven years have pointed toward that game. If ever a yell-king wanted a perfect section, “Carrots” must have wanted it Saturday with the score 7-0, favor of Southern California. Buf we were with him for two hours before the game and never once did we hear any expression of disappointment from him. To the condolences of his friends his only reply was, “That’s all right, we’ll do the best we can.” And he did it. There were more white shirts in the California section, more card stunts. But a more perfectly controlled section than Henney s we cannot hope to see That is the spirit of Southern California.
* * *
Before we get entirely away from the matter of the new feeling between the California and Southern California student bodies, we think it well to say iust a word about the numerous scuffles fCnmiirtiea on Page Four)

FORMER S. C. FOOTBALL STAR TALKS AT RALLY
Trojan Spirit Has Improved Greatly Over Past Years, Says Prominent Alumnus.
“As I compare the present spirit of the Trojans to that which we had four or five years ago. I marvel, and I want to say that I am mighty proud to be a graduate of this wonderful institution.” This was the statement of Jimmie Smith, former football star of the University of Southern California, at the flag raising ceremony last Friday morning.
The rally, the second of its kind for this season, is a custom that was established during the administration of Don Cameron. On the day previous to every big football same, tho Trojan F’ag is raised to its position outside of the tower of the Administration building.

Daring this time the Trojan backs were unstopable, the Trojan line irreelst-able, and the game all Troy, in spite of Stanford’s great drive to a touchdown late in the second quarter. STANFORD'S HALF Stanford’s half has always been the --last half, and in Saturday'S struggle
Delegates To Pacific Coast the cards once more claimed this period in which to assert themselves. How they did this can best be seen in the score: Stanford 13, Southern California 12. Their second ..touchdown was the result of a beautiful forty yard pass by Hoffman and a sensational catch by the fleet of foot, Dick Hyland. The flying Cardinal halfback took the ball on the sprint over his right shoulder, almost within the grasp of Lloyd Thomas, the pursuing Trojan half, and trotted the remaining ten yards to the goal.
