STANFORD TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE
STAFF ANNOUNCED BY WAMPUS EDITOR
Managing Editor and Art Editor Are Each Given Three Assistants Each By Booth.
From among the large number of talented contributors, the Wampus editor, Milton Booth, yesterday announced his selection of the editorial staff for the coming year.
The following new staff will take charge of the next issue of the Wampus: Ralph Huston, managing editor; Bryant Hale, art editor; Joseph Duchowny, Marjorie Hull, Leon Wolpe, associate editors; Marvin Connell, Mynette Ritch, Bob Crosby, associate art editors.
Ralph Huston, having had five years professional experience in a San Diego paper, is now working on the Times, and his work has won such recognition that he has been made sport editor of the ‘ Brown Bull,” comic magazine of the Kansas Agricultural College and has done much work on the Trojan and El Rodeo. Joe Duchowny has been a clever contributor to the Wampus for two years, while Marjorie Hull is now assistant editor of the Trojan, the highest journalistic position at Southern California, that a girl has held for some time. Leon Wolpe has had experience on the C. C. N Y. Mercury. Marvin Connell’s and Mynette Ritch’s work has won much comment on the campus, while Bob Crosby’s drawings have also been exceedingly popular and well-liked.
Preference Will Be Given To Owners of Activity Books; Cal Tickets Going.
Ticket sale for the Stanford game will be opened to the students Monday morning.
Those students who do not have books will not be able to obtain tickets until the sale has run three days. This will give students holding books preference over those who do not.
‘T wish to impress upon the students the necessity of avoiding confusion,” stated P. N. Marshall. “This may be avoided by going to the student book store window that is indicated on their student book. Tickets will not be sold to any students at the Coliseum. I hope the students will cooperate by getting their tickets early, and by restricting the sale of tickets to the students and their immediate family.
Inaugurating a new feature of monthly rallies, the associated students of the College of Law, of which Ernest Roll is president, will hold an assembly Monday morning at 8:20. Thomas Ridgeway, president of the California State Bar Association, and a leading bar member of Los Angeles will speak on the subject, “California State Bar Association.”
This is the first of a series ot monthly rallies introduced this year by the students of the College of Law, and is under the direction of James Jeffery, member of the general rally committee, and manager of all Law rallies.
The aim is to present to the students representative men who will speak each month on problems of Law.
Professor Clare Tappan, popular professor in the College of Law, will introduce the speaker. “Dee” Tallman, president of the Associated Student Body, will also speak if he is in the city.
Classes will be excused for the rally Monday morning. The next rally will be just before the Stanford game.
ORGANIZATIONS GIVE DATES TO COMMITTEE
Cooperation of most of the campus groups is materially aiding the Organ-j izations Committee in its efforts to ' compile information pertaining to S.
I C. social organizations, according to “Boots” Oudermeulen, chairman of th'' committee.
The organizations are asked to | send information to the Student Body President’s office in the Journalism building some time today. Those groups that have not yet received : letters requesting this information i will please spe«k to Eleanor Mix or “Roots” Oudermeulen immediately in j order to secure and fill out the nec-! et sary form*.
EL RODEO PICTURES TAKEN MONDAY
Monday afternoon will see the El Rodeo office converted into photographic headquarters with juniors and seniors doing the initial posing. I according to Les Heilman, business manager for the 1927 yearbook. A representative from Witzel’s studio will be stationed on the campus daily until all pictures are taken for the annual.
Seniors will pose in caps and gowns while the juniors will also pose for individual pictures. It is the aim of EH Rodeo officials to dispose of the pictures at the earliest time and an early start is being taken to assure promptness in issuing the book and accuracy in placing, the pictures.
Stressing the necessity of the upper classmen co-operating with the photographer and appearing at an early date, Heilman says, “We are getting an early start and wish to stress that it is imperative that juniors and seniors put in an early appearance. The photographer will have everything in readiness and it will take only a few minutes to click the camera. We solicit the co-opera-
tion of the juniors and seniors on this.”
The location o' the photographer’s headquarters in the El Rodeo office, formerly the Trojan office over the Student Book Store, is a point of convenience for both the photographer and the students whose profiles will appear in El Rodeo. The photographer will arrive about noon Monday and will be here all days following until all pictures are taken.
It is possible for the camera man to photograph 30 students daily, according to Ralph Holly, editor of El Rodeo, who is vitally interested in the success of the art work of the annual. Holly says, “I feel that we were fortunate In securing the services of one of Los Angeles’ leading photographers and the co-operation of the student body ir. appearing for their sittings should make the conditions for a perfect picture section ideal. We will look forward to a goodly number putting in their appearance Monday afternoon.”
Honorary fraternities, sororities, class officers and group pictures will be photographed soon after the seniors and juniors are photographed.
KNIGHTS, AMAZONS PLAN HUGE DANCE
Carnival at Biltmore Hotel Will Follow S. C.-Stanford Game; Is Annual Affair.
“The Trojan Knights and the Amazons are putting their best efforts toward making the Trojan-Knight-Amazon dance one of the greatest social events of the year.” This was the announcement of Garth Lacey, vice-president of the Trojan Knights, yesterday.
The two organizations held a joint meeting at the Delta Delta Delta house Wednesday night. The first part of the evening was devoted to the transaction of business while during the latter part refreshments, provided by the Amazons, and diversified entertainment were enjoyed.
Committees headed by Martha Wiggett, president of the Amazons, Catherine Colwell, and Mildred Martz are in charge of arrangements for the dance which is to be ln the form of a Carnival. Hats, balloons, noise-makers, and other features will be distributed.

Welcome, President McCarthy!
We believe that your visit here is indicative of a better understanding between two of the greatest universities on the Pacific Coast. We believe that what you are going to say to us today will be sincere and that it will help to erase the prejudices of the past. We believe that when we come in a body to your campus next week that the reception we are going to receive will bear out your words this morning. Welcome, President McCarthy!
* * *
The other day we wrote concerning the promoting of better understanding between our fraternities. Consequently we are more than glad to hear of the development of the plans for the coming inter-fraternity smoker that is to be held October 27. We want it to mean something to be a Southern California fraternity man, and we don’t want that something to be a snobbish, go-to-hell attitude toward all but a “select’’ few. We want it to be an indication of genuine hospitality and good fellowship. We are certainly back of this move to get the various fraternity pledges to-gether for a get-acquainted smoker early in the year and early in their college life.
* * *
At the risk of life and limb we must venture to throw out another suggestion on this Pan-Hellenic rushing rules proposition. Undoubtedly the women know their problem better than we do, but if they decided to pass the rules which were presented in the “Trojan” yesterday, we want them to do it “with their eyes open. That is to say, we have felt all the while and still feel that too many complications, such as limiting conversation to ten minutes and all that sort of thing, can result in only one thing, violations. As far as we can see, the principal purpose of these rules is to give the freshman women a fair chance to look around and know what house they are joining. More than that the rushing problem is simply the personal one of sportsmanship, of talking up one’s own house constructively without knocking some other organization.
* * *
Tomorrow will really be a unique day, irom the standpoint of tradition. It has not been so many years since Southern California and Occidental were real rivals and the “U.S.C.-Oxy” game was one to call out the biggest bonfires and rallies of which we were capable. That Southern Cal has grown in size beyond the strength of the Southern California Conference does not in the le?st dim our pleasure in meeting an old-time rival on the gridiron. Occidental fight is the same fight now that it was when her sons raided our camp to get the tiger back and we look forward to a good game and a lot of spirit tomorrow.
* * *
While we are on the subject of football and spirit, we take the opportunity to remind the student body of the cup that is to be given away for the best Southern California yell turned in to Henney in this contest. We have seen the cup standing in the window of the Students Store and it is worth a great deal more than the trouble it takes to write one yell. Burdette tells us that as yet there have been few entrants. We know that somebody is going to get the cup because we were given at least one envelope to hand to Burdette. Whether or not a cup like this is going to go as a prize for the contest with one entrant is up to the student body. We hope that some more will get in and make this contest worthwhile.
TIGER-TROJAN GAME RENEWS OLD RIVALRY
Gridiron Hostilities Again Resumed With Occidental College At Coliseum Saturday.
BY BILL FOOTE
Ferocity is a well known attribute of the Bengal tiger and in this respect the local edition of that animal, hailing from Occidental College, is not lacking, for when the whistle blows next Saturday to officially break the cessation of hostilities that has existed the last four years between two ancient rivals, eleven ferocious felines will be unleashed to claw at the Trojan varsity on the Coliseum turf.
DEFEAT RANKLES
For four long years now the sav-age cat has been caged, ever eager to seize the opportunity of feasting on fresh young Trojan broiled on the gridiron. A 42 to 0 defeat still rankles in the hearts of the Oxy gridders who will take the opportunity next Saturday to satiate this four year old thirst for Trojan blood.
This very natural desire for revenge will not be the only spur to the efforts of the Eagle Rock mole-skinners, as it must be remembered that the Tigers are coached by the man who last year turned the trick of beating S. C. with a team that up to that time had a cinch for cellar position in the Coast Conference (Continued on Page Four)

Preliminary tryouts for the underclass play will be held in Touchstone Theater Tuesday afternoon at three o’clock.
The tryouts, according to Miss Tacie May Hanna, will consist of reading, from a play brought by the aspirants, and a page of conversation with one or more characters. The conversation should not be memor- j ized. A word of explanation as to the character or characters portrayed should precede the interpretation.
“We hope to definitely decide upon the play to be presented b.r Tues-j day,” said Miss Hanna, “however, j these preliminary tryouts will give us | a chance to judge the voice, stage j presence, bearing, and the spirit with| which those trying out enter into their parts, and will help us to eliminate those who will not fit into the play.
“It is probable, according to present plans, that there may be present-some of the students who will direct plays for the S. C. Players; they will be able to get acquainted with the material at the same time, and those who are not chosen for the under class play may receive a chance for other work at a later date.”
Performing their second important activity this year, the campus Bachelors are to have a treasure hunt at 8:30 tomorrow evening, ln accordance with the decision made at their dinner meeting at the Ellendale Inn Wednesday evening.
Although this event is traditional, it has been planned to make it a novel affair. The Bachelors are allowed to bring their lady friends to hunt the elusive treasure with them. The nature of the treasure is being withheld to make the affair more thrilling.
The Bachelors with their lady friends are to assemble punctually at 8:30 at Red and Hank’s gasoline station, University avenue. As this will not be a silk-hat party, every* one, maid or bachelor, is urged to wear old clothes.
When hunting, no car must be used; the search must be made on foot. All cars brought are to be left at the station before the affair begins. Some form of reward for their success will be offered to the pair who will find the object of tbe pursuit
