CHANGES ARE MADE III PERSONNEL OF DAILY TROJAN STAFF
Editor Makes Several Changes in Policy of Paper; Staff Changes Are Noticeable.
i Announcement of a somewhat radical change in the “Daily Trojan” has I been made by Lee Conti, editor of the 8. C. daily, and will take effect on De-Icember 5.
Chief among the changes is the re-I quest for News Editors to be at the I Moneta Print Shop on the night their issue is printed. It is expected that all news editors will make it a point I to arrange their schedu.i,-s to suit this request.
Starting the fifth, desk editors will be expected to work on the desk two days a week, besides taking one assignment a week. According to Conti, this rule will be strictly enforced.
! Perhaps the most radical change which will be made, according to the present plans, is the switching of freshmen reporters from the big stories which they have been covering to regular beats which will be assigned them. No freshman reporter will be allowed to write a big story until he has proved to the Editors that he is capable, and this will be determined by the way in which he covers his beat. Excuses must be given by re-(Continued on page four)

ENGINEERS OFF ON EXPEDITION TO BIG CREEK TODAY
Local Engineers to Make Five-day Trip To Edison Company Camps.
Preparations have been completed and everything is in readiness for the S. C. Engineers’ big jaunt to Big Creek starting this afternoon, and between twenty-five and thirty slip-stick artists are primed for the journey.
This trip, held under the auspices of the A. I. E. E., is to take in the Southern California Edison Company’s campus, No. 1, 3, 5, and 8, and if the weather permits the party will also examine the great multiple' arch dam, according to the committee in charge of the arrangements.
Transportation from here to Cascada will be in the students’ cars, but officials of the Edison Company will meet the travelers at this point and furnish the mode of transportation to the camps. Burdette Ives stated that this will be a rare opportunity for Southern California Engineering students to meet men of high repute and powers in the outside engineering world.
Leaving this afternoon about 4:00 p.m. the party will j roceed to Fresno where they will rest before attempt Ing the hard drive on to Cascada. At Cascada the Southern California Edison Company will act as hosts and conduct the party on a tour of inspection through the various camps. The students will study every phase of the camp life and also the work under con-i struction.
Weather reports from the northern regions indicate that the party may encounter conditions similar 'to that of the great Yukon, but Scott stated that it would take more than mere rain and snow to damper the spirits of the enthusiastic Engineers. It may, however, prevent them from seeing the multiple arch dam, an engineering masterpiece of par excellence.

Overthrowing the traditional realm of the “black-face” comedian, the cast of the annual Dental Minstrel Show, to be presented December 17 in Bovard Auditorium, is now practicing on a modernized minstrel in which “white face” men predominate. Jack Lough-lan, president of the Odonto Club, which is sponsoring the production, states that tickets will go on sale immediately after the presentation of “The Broken Bachelor.”
Many new features have been designed for the minstrel, the chief one is the fact that only the end men will be “black-face” and the rest of the chorus will be “white-face.” Instead of one interlocutor there will be two, and instead of the use of the old time songs, only the latest song hits are to be used in the song and dance numbers.

RALLY COMMITTEE LIMITS RAISING OF TROJAN FLAG
Vote Decides That S. C. Flag Shall Not Fly for All-Conference Games.
of LOOKS LIKE THE BROKEN BACHELOR’S BROKE
Y.M.-Y.W.TOHEAR SPECIAL LECTURER
Mrs. Elizabeth McManus Will Discuss Last Session of the League of Nations at Geneva.
Y M—Y W TO HEAR
Featured by a talk by Mrs. Elizabeth McManus, special lecturer for the League of Nations Non-partisan Association, the last of the joint Y. M.-Y. W. discussions will be held this afternoon
at 5:30 at the “Y” Hut. The World Court situation will be the main topic of discussion. Mrs. McManus has just returned from the last session of the League of Nations at Geneva and it is expected that she will be able to give many interesting views. Mrs. Mx:Man us is a well-known speaker, having been formerly a special lecturer for the state department of education.
Following the main speaker an open forum will be held. During the last month an educational program on the world court and the league of nations has been sponsored by the Y. M. and Y. W.
Student opinion on the world court situation will be discussed at a conference at Princeton University in December where delegates from all over the United States will officially formulate a student policy and viewpoint. The decision of the conference will be reported to the President and to Congress as indicative of the attitudes and opinions of American university students.
When is a bachelor broke — when he isn’t a bachelor. When the man about town suddenly decides to forsake his stag days and plunge into m atrimony he finds that the old saying about “Needles and pins” is more than true.
While this “Broken Bachelor” has nothing to do with financial affairs the youth-f u I woman-hater who turns benedict certainly finds that his troubles begin. The authors of the play send h i m through all the tortures of marriage and, although he does once attempt his own life, he is still alive and happy at the end of the play.
Here we find the poor broken bachelor starting his first breaking
tactics by digging deep for the license which causes him all the trouble.
According to those who are on the inside, “The Broken B achelor" will not only break the bachelor but will break a
few records of its own Thursday and Friday evening.
The first will be that for attendance. Already the early ticket sale mark has-been shattered, but announcement from the offices of the dramatic heads says that there are plenty of c a rd bo ards left. In order that these may b e available for students a block of tick-ets go on sale today at the box office in front of the Liberal Arts building.
The second record will be in laughs. This four act play is said to have more chuckles, grins, chortles, giggles, smiles and guffaws in it than there are drawbacks to married life. The cast is an All-Star one and has been at work for several weeks.
To raise the Trojan battle flag before every conference game or to continue the announced policy of raising only on specific occasions was the major question facing the rally committee at its regular meeting yesterday afternoon. A vote was taken and it was decided to continue the present policy.
According to this decision the flag is to be flown on any one of four possible occasions, i.e., before the California game, the Stanford game, a purely intersectional game (East vs. West, as the Iowa, Missouri, Syracuse, and Penn State games) and before a game on which the Pacific Coast conference championship game depended.
The question came up for discussion because it was felt that a number of students on the campus were in honest disagreement with the above schedule. The reason given by the members of the committee for not flying the flag before every game were all intended to dignify the flag in the eyes of the student body. It was felt that should the flag be flown every week it would lose much of its rallying significance.
