Cameron Gives First of Talks on Peace; Talks Given Every Morning Armistice Week. That students may take an active part in the promotion of international peace, is the belief expressed by Don Cameron, student body president, in an address on ‘Peace and the Campus,” given yesterday morning at the “Y.” This was the first of a series of talks on the subject of Peace to be given at the Y. M. C. A. Hut from 7:20 to 7:60 each morning during Armistice Week. "We should help foreign students on the campus and cultivate their friendship,” Don Cameron stated, “for they will be the leaders in their own country, and will be the creators of public opinion and national policy. “Students should pledge themselves to some platform of international relations,” he declared. “We must concern ourselves with upholding the laws of the United States. One either condemns lawlessness or sanctions it through indifference. Students should be more observing of religion. World peace is the very essence and spirit of religion. “We must realize fully,” Cameron stated in conclusion, “that we as individuals determine what the nation is. We as individuals, must consciously strive to make the highest ideals a part of our lives. In this way only can we attain international peace and peace within ourselves.” Special music was given by the Y. M. quartet, consisting of Harold Read, S#an Hopper, Leland Tallman and Glen Turner. These early morning services are a part of the international movement toward peace, which students throughout the world are recognizing by observing this week as a “Week of Prayer.” This morning the service was featured by a talk on “Peace in the Community and Home” by Katherine Curtis. Tomorrow Margaret Burke will speak on “Peace and the Nation.” Trojan Students Now on Circuit Completing a six weeks engagement with Fanchon and Marco, the S. C. Five, consisting of Harry Hall, Harry Hardin, Carl Spring, Milo Sweet and Glenn Cook have been entertaining with novel dances and songs at LoewT’s State Theatre, in San Diego, Santa Ana, San Bernardino, Pomona and Glendale. According to Hall, a graduate of S. C. the “Five” has signed with the Western Vaudeville and will go east about Xmas. ENGINEERS HAVE HARD-TIME DANCE HARD LUCK DAY* Friday the 13th Has No Terrors for Engineers; Many Features Planned for Pavilion Dance. Engineers! Engineers!! WTho have no fears, They do not care for trifles. They drape their hats upon their ears And shoot them down with rifles. Rearing, tearing, frisky engineers are sitting tight on the safety valve of pep all this week so that a new tide-mark of achievement will have been reached when the moon has waxed and waned o’er the Engineers’ Hard-Time Dance which is scheduled for Friday evening, November 13, at the Southern California Basketball Pavilion. Syncopating strains from sobbing saxophones and Charleston chimes from blaring cornets will add a picturesque undertone to the croon of shuffling feet as a joyous crowd pay tribute to the masters of the transit and leveling rod. Henry Faulkner’s orchestra, which has won plaudits from many campus organizations in their engagements this fall, has been secured for the evening and are cooperating with the committee to produce many novel numbers. Statistics—statistics may make engineers liars at times, but you ought to see what engineers are to do to statistics with a crooked sliderule and a little bit of patience—prove that one hundred per cent of American people will deny they are superstitious and that exactly that number of people have a pet bugaboo. Realizing this fact and that the dance is falling on the unlucky thirteenth, the engineers are paying court to Lady Luck by arranging the decorations so as to be a joint exhibition of all that makes an old hardtime party hard and a superstitious hall spooky. Chet Olson is ar-raging this part of the program, and it is hinted that live black cats will disport themselves before broken mirrors while leaning ladders will dangle the mystic thirteen precepts of a true engineer’s creed before the crossed eyes and humped backs of Lon Chaney and the Smith Brothers. Corn stalks and scarecrows will add atmosphere, and the local color may be gathered from the various Hirams and (Marthas that will be gliding around the floor. Several prizes are to be given for the best costume and the most representative outfit; while a special silver cup is to be awarded the couple that win first prize in the dancing con-1 test that is to be a feature of the eve- j ning. Snappy variations of the famous Engineer’s chant from Georgia j (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) I WRITERS TO HAVE BANQUET NOV. 17 B. H* Read to Talk; Many Alumni to -Attend Thanksgiving Homecoming Dinner. That the annual Homecoming Banquet of the Press Club, featuring turkey and other Thanksgiving food, will be staged at the Chateau Cafe, 1201 Shatto street, November 17, is the announcement of George Jordan, pres-dent of the club. Ben H. Read, Managing Director of the Southern California Editorial Association, is to be the guest of honor and speaker, his subject being “Newspaper Work as a Profession.” Jordan states that invitations will be extended to all alumni members of the club, who will be on the campus during Homecoming Week. He believes that the welcome to old grads this year should be the most successful ever attempted by the Press Club. Relative to the speaker of the evening, Marc N. Goodnow, member of the journalism faculty, says: “Mr. Read has had much experience in the newspaper world, having been a newspaper man in Idaho Falls, Idaho, for many years. The association of which he is now Managing Director, is composed of 125 Southern California editors and publishers.” Elaborate plans for the program and for decorations are being made by those in charge or arrangements for the affair, according to Jordan. PHOTOGRAPHY WILL BE FEATURE OF TROJAN ANNUAL Students Must Report for Photos at Healy Building, Says Editor. DEBATE CONTEST SCHEDULED TODAY Preliminary try-outs for the Southern California Conference Extemporaneous Contest are to be held this afternoon at 2:15 in room 20. The winner of the contest today is to represent Southern California at Pomona on November 19. “China Today” is to be the subject of the contest. All prospective contestants are to meet in room 305 just before the 1:15 class to draw for positions and to receive definite assignments. The speeches are to be limited to six minutes. The judge of the contest will be Professor Allan Nichols. Men who have signed up for the contest are Manuel Ruiz, Charles Wright and Barton Hutchins. Any others who are interested in competing in this contest are asked to see Sam Gates, debate manager, immediately. Acocrding to Burdette Ives, of the El Rodeo Staff, the photographing of organizations is proceeding with a rush, a few organizations have been tardy, probably through misunderstanding, and are urged to have their pictures taken immediately, as the time alloted for this is limited. All organizations on the campus who intend to have a page, or a half page, in the El Rodeo and have not a houSe, are asked to have their members’ pictures taken as soon as possible. Each person photographed is to pay one dolllar at time of having the picture taken. He is entitled to four poses and as many copies as are necessary for the organizations ,of which he is a member. No definite day has been set on which an organization is to be photographed, for many students are members of more than one organization. If any student is a member of an organization that has a house he is to have his photograph taken there. If he is also a mer^ber of other organizations he should specify the number and name of them at the time he is photographed. of Debate Manager, Sam E. Gates last evening. Negotiations commenced last March and conducted on behalf of the University by Coach Alan Nichols, were finally brought to successful fruition when the Harvard Faculty Committee gave its approval last week; and all that remains now is the determination of a few minor details such as length of speeches and methods of judging, when the final contracts will be signed. The debate will be a unique affair and one of national interest in the debating world. Only onca, when Its football team journeyed out to the Tournament of Roses New Year’s classic, has Harvard crossed the Alleghany mountains in any form of Intercollegiate competition. Never before have Crimson debating teams spoken west of Princeton, New Jersey; and it is a remarkable tribute to the forensic standards at Southern California that the Trojan squad should be selected as the opponent of the oldest university in the United States in its maiden appearaee tm the West. The prime importance of this inter* sectional match is already evidenced by early inquiries, acocrding to Debate Manager Gates. Several institutions, hearing rumors of the pending negotiations, have written to ascertain the posibility of meeting Harvard on its trip to Los Angeles; but the twelve days alloted the eastern speakers for their transcontinental journey will probably preclude any other contest. The editors of the National Debate Year Book, in which are collected the leading forensic events of the school season, have already requested a short-hand report of the debate; and there is no doubt but that the importance of the match will enlist the most enthusiastic interest of every pabllb speaking school in the nation. Two unique features of the contract are the fact that Harvard will meet only one institution on the trip and the provision for a return debater Those students who are members of one or more organizations but are not. as a ru*H a traveling Lniversitjp members of an organization with a house, are to have their photos taken between 9 and 2:30 any school day at the Dean Healy building on the north- east corner of 36 Street and Hoover. ‘Y” DINNER ROMEO TO COMPETE WITH NEW LOVER Contest to be Staged Between Shakespeare’s “Immortals” and Campus Lovers. —v- That modern campus lovers have not a chance of supremacy in competition with Shakespeare’s immortal lovers, a statement of Dr. William P. Habe-son, Professor of English, at the University of Pennsylvania, is to be put to a real issue at this week’s rally in Bovard Auditorium when a contest between the classical and modern system of love making will be staged. The contest will have two distinct parts. The first will be a perfectly serious presentation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet bancony scene, with Eddie Blaine taking the part of Romeo and Eleanor Veale, that of Juliet.

It is also agreed that, if they choosey the Trojans have the option of meeting the Eastern squad in a return debate in Boston during the school year of 1926-27. Arrangements have already been commenced to entertain the visitors with true Southern California hospitality. The Trojan Alumni Associa-tion in Chicago will probably be hosts to the Harvard men at dinner during their stop-over in mid-west metropolis, and thus break the trip across the plans. The Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly open the Motion Picture Studios and other places of interest to the visitors.
