ONE-ACT COKIEDY IS SCHEDULED III
Popular Song Hits Will Be Sung On Bovard Stage As Added Attraction to Rally.
1 Did It,” the stunning musical-dra-matie thunderbolt, written and directed by Eddie Blaine and Bob Raede, will be the feature attraction to be presented at tlie rally’ in Bovard Auditorium today. •
Campus sheiks, who would like to know how to make dates for fraternity brothers who never seem able to make them unassisted ought to get some good pointers. In.this play deftly is shown the correct procedure for getting dates for the tardy. There is a girl getting formula in the play that is astounding. Why even handsome “Bool” Montana works it to perfection. There are two beautiful Southern Branch girls in “I Did It” who will steal hearts away. They are the most comely of all the females at the Vermont Avenue institution.
Campus sirens, who would like to see “6ool” Montana strangle a Southern California college lad almost to death should also make it a point to attend. It actually happens in the play “1 Did It.” Then there will be | in th*> cast the riddle of the ages, the .| chaxacLar of mystery. . Jusl who this individual is will not be divulged until the last stirring moments of the drama. ^ ^ .. . r. M
in addition to the many unusual situations involved in the plot of the production, there will, be the added feature of a very well planned musical
score that will be carefully interwoven with the story -of “I Did It.” Miss Gabriel, “Gogo”, Belanger will be seen on the stage sinking the “blue” jazz hits that have made her very popular. Sberill Cohen, the boy Caruso, will render ‘Southern California Dream Light” in conjunction with Miss Be-.

Their work for the past four years has been deserving of the | appreciation of Southern California. They will not be soon forgotten although a wealth of material will be on hand to step into their places.
Trojan rooters should *jive these five men an ovation tomorrow that should let them know how their work has been appreciated.

Class Leaders in An Attempt To Settle Question Of Senior El Rodeo Photos.
For the purpose of discussing whether the graduating seniors should have their pictures taken in caps and gowns or in business suits, the presidents of the senior classes and student bodies of Dental, Law, Pharmacy and Liberal Arts met with the El Rodeo management and Hal Stonier in the President’s chambers at eleven o’clock yesterday.
Recent agitation on the part of several groups of seniors to recall the vote of the executive committee deciding that caps and gowns should be eliminated from the senior section was responsible for this gathering.
After informal discussion of these various points by those in favor of and against the substitution of business suits in place of caps and gowns for the senior • section, Hal Stonier suggested that a meeting of the student body at the College of Dentistry be called and the El Rodeo management be invited to appear to present their side of the case. This meeting is to be held the early part of next week.

New Subject Selected In Bowen Cup Contest
"Aviation in the United States,” is tlie subject chosen for the Bowen Cup contest, according to a recent announcement.
-‘•The right of people to declare war by a direct vote,” was the first subject chosen, but the change was made because it was thought that the war question gave too great an advantage to those of the debating squad who will compete for the cup. Preliminaries for the contest will be held the fir-'t of the week after Christmas vacation.

Binding bargains between fraternity brothers are being made for the loan of tuxedos, coeds are busy making beauty parlor appointments, and anticipation reigns supreme as the night for the Junior Promenade, the one big collegiate formal of the year, takes place tomorrow night.
it is rumored that Ye Blue Book of Etiquette is being widely consulted on “How to act at a Promenade.” But because of the lack of definite information relating to a college Prom of the 1925 Junior variety, a few hints of accepted behavior are given for the instruction of many who will make their debut Saturday into Prom society.
They are: Arrive at nine; prome-made and receive favors; do not wear or carry corsages of flowers.
An arrangements are completed by the junior committee from Liberal Arts, Dental, Law, Pharmacy and Engineering, and the formal event is scheduled to mark an epoch in the social successes of the campus.

Honorary Fraternity To Have 5. C. Chapter
Rho Chi, national honorary Pharmacy fraternity, may soon establish a chapter on the Southern California campus, if the present plans of petitioners from the College of Pharmacy are successful.
According to Professor A. L, Phelps of the College of Pharmacy, a petition for a chapter has been sent in to the national organization and present indications point to a granting of this petition soon.
the other honorary jouriialiani sorority will be responsible tor the registration and entertainment.
It is necessary, however, that there should be an executive committee to coordinate the activities of the various organizations, and particularly to handle the bugeting for the Day so that there will be no overlapping of expenses, according to Marc Goodnow, head of the Southern California Journalism department, who is the originator of the idea of a Newspaper Day.
In addition to the tentative plans for
Newton Stark and Hank Le Febvre, who are ending several seasons of faithful service.
LONG SEASON Tfle Thundering Herd has enjoyed a tremendously successful season on-(Jer Howard Jones. Out <*f twelve games played to date, ten have resulted in victories. Tomorrow’s game makes the thirteenth for the locals, a season exceeded in length only by the Haskell Indians, who play fifteen games this year.
Slip Madigan promises to furnisb plenty of fireworks to the Trojan windup. -The “Knute Rockne of the Pacific Coast” sprang a rare surprise when he triumphed last season, and he has a similar upset planned for tomorrow’s game. Certainly he has the material with which to give the Herd a great battle.
NORTHERN 8TARS	*
“Red” Strader, the brilliant fullback, named by Walter Camp last year as All-American material, Captain Grant, the left half, “Red” Watson, guard, “Cowboy” Smith, the tiny speedster, are all noted for their ability. And the St. Mary’s record backs up the St. Mary’s boasts. Only one defeat has the Saint squad suffered this season, and that at the hands of California’s Golden Bears, <%to 0. It was an early season game when the Western Irish were as yet not a co-ordinate team, but it was a great display of strength. California did not score u*-til the fourth period.	^

DENT SHOW IS PURE AS SNOW, CLAIM CENSORS
Picked from the Pickings, and heralded by a clicking of scissors, the Dental Minstrel presented by the Odonto Club takes the boards in Bovard Auditorium Thursday night, December 17.
Twelve acts from the Harry Car-roll show have been incorporated into the backbone of the plot by Maurice Kasell, technical director, which although it contains the collegiate qualities of warmth, more warmth, and still more warmth, will absolutely be pure as the driv-* en snow when it appears before the public, according to the management.
End-men, gagged and ungagged, the minstrel circle and circular minstrels, drunks, court scenes and drunk court scenes are features of the string of acts. Others will be an unusual assortment of excisions, eiisions, and plain cuts.
The show is an all-star production, the chorus dividing honors with the interlocutor and the end-men. Uncle Tom and his relatives are no longer to be saddled with the responsibility of providing en-ertainment, as members of the
circle appear upon the stage in natural color.	,
The management also announces that there will be no act entitled “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," nothing concerning a folded newspaper applied to the top of the head with enerny and a strong arm, no trained acrobats, and no conversation about two other fellows that met in Brooklyn, Kalamazoo, or Abyssinia, Tennessee.

LAWYERS PLAN ON BANQUET AT MEET
The Pre-Legal club held an important meeting Wednesday night at seven o’clock at t^e Ph* Alpha Mu house. The principal topics for discussion were the taking of pictures for the El Rodeo and the proposed Pre-Legal banquet. An interesting ad dress was given by Mr. C. Fletcher McQuillan on “Law and Its Relation to Business.”
It was decided by the members to reserve a large section of the annual for their pictures and to have the individual members pay fifty cents towards the photographs. Any deficit is to be made up out of the club funds. It was also decided to hold the forthcoming banquet at the Twin Cedars Inn, but to do away with the dance that was to follow the dinner. An announcement as to the time of the banquet and the final arrangements will be made later, also the speakers for the affair will be named.
