Student “Scalpers99 Are Warned By Administration
That members of the student body have been “scalping” on tickets for the Stanford game was the statement of H. J. Stonier, executive secretary of the University, yesterday. Discovery of this fact was made by a downtown newspaper and the information was given to the University.
“It is necessary that such ticket ‘scalping’ stop,” says Mr. Stonier. “Any students who have tickets to dispoce of, because of inability to attend the game, should turn them back to the University through the regular channels.”
Anyone discovered “scalping” tickets is to be dealt with severely by the proper authorities, according to Mr. Stonier.

Campus Publication Makes Enviable National Record
BY MURI
That campus publications of the University of Southern California have gained an enviable reputation in collegiate circles is evidenced b> the fact that practically every publication has received at one time or another honorable mention in some of the national magazines.
The Southern California Daily Trojan needs no introduction to the students, and is the outstanding student publication of the campus George Jordan is at the helm this year, and according to erports from outside journalists the S. C. daily is holding its place among the leading college papers on me coasr.
Wampus, 99 44-100 per cent pure, holds a high place among collegiate humor magazines and is noted for its number of reprints in College Comics. Milton Booth is chief animal tamer for the “kitty" this year and if campus opinion is any criterion he has been most successful.
The El Rodeo is another Southern California publication which needs no introduction, and with Ralph Holly in charge this year it will no doubt
EL HEEB
keep its place among the first five college annuals of the country.
Such student outbursts as the “Yellow Dog,” a scandal sheet published annually by the pledges of Sigma Sigma, Junior Men’s Honorary organization. and the “Raspberry Sheet,” issued by the pledges of Pi Delta Epsilon. Men's Honorary Journalistic fraternity, create quite a sensation on the campus when they make their appearance each year. They are essentially scandal and gossip sheets bringing out everything worth telling about prominent men and women ot the campus.
The Alumni Review, published by the Alumni Association, is edited this | year by Raymond Haight and deals entirely with alumni activities. The Pigskin Review is edited by both alumni and students and is one ot the features of all S. C. football games.
Other publications such as ths Freshman Handbook. Wooden Horse, and Sociology Journal play their part in bringing journalistic recognition to the Southern California campus.

Perhaps one of the best known figures on the S. C. campus is Burdette Henney, head yell king. We are giving over a large share of the space in this column to Henney today, since it is largely through his individual efforts that 1 roy has gained nation-wide recognition. Looking back over the past football season and the games that have been played this season, we are of the opinion that no rooting section in the country has pulled any more clever and timely stunts, than those worked out by Burdette. He has a personality that wins the crowd, and his style of leading yells needs little comment.
Tomorrow Burdette Henney heads the yell convention which will be held on this campus. Our welcome is extended to those some twenty men who will attend the convention, and our congratulations go to Henney for his splendfd bit of work in planning and arranging the convention. It is said that the convention will be the first of its kind ever to be held in the United States. Last year Henney held a high school yell convention which was attended by eighty prep yell kings. But the meeting of college and university cheer leaders Friday and Saturday on our campus will have a real objective in view. The theme of the convention is to stimulate better sportsmanship from the bleachers. More power to you, Burdette!

According to reports, some students who haven't caught the spirit of real Trojanhood are attempting to “scalp” tickets for S t a n f o r d-Southern California football game. These charges have not been made without foundation, according to Harold Stonier. There are rigid rules in regards to “scalping'' and any student caught doing so, will be .punished to the full extent of the law. Both university officials and student officers join in a request to discontinue this practice. There are certain proper and ethical methods of turning tickets back, and any student who wishes to receive face value for his ticket may do so by reporting to the students’ ticket booth.
A spirit which lowers the standing of Troy is against the moral code of real, loyal Trojans, and to be loyal Trojans, students must not carry out any action which reflects upon the good name of the university which we love.

Only two more days remain before the Stanford football game which is doped to settle the Pacific Coast football championship. While this may be true, the Trojans will have three conference games to win, provided they defeat the Cardinals from Stanford. But before the game is actually played several important events are scheduled to take place. Tomorrow morning the usual rally will be held, at which time the Trojan War Flag will be raised. Last week the flag waved from the Tower of Bovard over the week-end, and through the defeat of the Golden Bear, the shield of Troy continued to wave in the breeze of Southern California. What a grand and noble thing if the flag still waves next week, provided the student body conducts itself in the manner of true Trojans. No finer exhibition of spirit on the part of a student body has ever been shown, than that of Southern California last year when the Cardinals from Stanford visited our campus.
Friday night at the big rally for the Stanford game, Stanley Weigel, president of the Stanford Student Body, will address the mass (Continued on Page Three)
AMPLIPER TO AID YELL KING AT CARD GAME
Old Songs To Be Revived At Rally And Used Saturday For Rooting.

The new amplifier has four horns and was purchased at a cost of five hundred dollars. It wfft be placed in the center of the section, and will eliminate the former necessity of having the two assistants repeat instructions.
Henney also plans to introduce two songs which are in the Trojan song book, but which have not been used to any extent. These songs will be practiced at the rally Friday night, at which time printed copies will be distributed. Henney desires that everyone come to the rally and maxe a special effort to learn the songs.
Fifty-four rows in one section have been rc-rerved for the rooters. This wiii accomodate 2200 men. In addition, space ior 1200 women has been reserved.
Delegates to the Yell Leaders’ Convention. which meets Friday and Saturday, will be guests of honor at the game, and will occupy the first row in the men’s rooting section, according to Henney.
New Theatre Page To Be Featured In Friday’s Trojan
Beginning this week there will be a theater page in the Daily Trojan every Friday, according to an announcement of Bob Servis. advertising manager.
This page will be devoted exclusively to news of Los Angeles theatres, and will give information regarding locality of theatres, advertisements of various playhouses and criticisms of current plays and photoplays.
“A theatre page is something entirely new in the annals of student publications, and should meet with great enthusiasm on the part of the students of Southern California,” states Servis. “Our aim is to give first hand information regarding Los Angeles productions, dealing with them in an unbiased manner, and thus furnishing students with a knowledge of plays and pictucrs that are worth seeing.”

Parchment Material Must Be Handed To Dr. Wann This Week
This week marks the final opportunity for members of the Quill Club to submit material for the “Parchment,” according to Dr. Louis Wann, editor of the club’s national publication.
