“Home again to win again.”
Troy decks her walls to welcome back into the Trojan city alumni who will return this week-end to participate in the festivities
of the second annual Homecoming.
Looming as one of the biggest events on the full program scheduled from Friday afternoon to Saturday at midnight is the mammoth burlesque parade to take place Saturday before the Iowa game.
Floats entered by the various fraternity and sorority organizations of the campus will make up what is anticipated to amuse the 80,000 football fans gathered in the coliseum when the burlesque

Immediately prior to the game.
An announcement was made by the cup committee that all six of the beautiful silver trophies to be awarded as prizes in the homecoming burlesque parade would be on display today in the windows of Phelps and Terkle, college shop. It was also reported that a number of fraternity floats have been completed and work is proceeding rapidly on most of the oth^r organization creations.
Yesterday the flags and banners were hung along University avenue and in the basketball pavilion while the remaining trimmings will be put up today and tomorrow so everything twill be in readiness for the week-end affairs. Most of the fraternity and sorority houses are being decorated today, although a few have already been put in readyness. Friday morning will find the whole University a blaze of color, while the motto: “Home again to win again” will be one e veryone’s lips.
According to Monte Lindmoe, the place of formation of the parade has been changed from 34th and Hoover to Exposition Park in front of the Museum building. This is being done 1 to avoid traffic congestion which would j be sure to take place along the many j streets surrounding the University. Also the time of formation has been j switched from twelve-thirty to eleven- j thirty A.M., in view of the fact that i the game is scheduled tQ commence I promptly at two o’clock. All floats J are cautioned by the parade commit-1 tee to be on hand at eleventliiriy sharp as no time will be spent in waiting for late comers.
All organizations have been interviewed by Mog Green, chairman of the general homecoming committee, and Monte Lindmoe, of the parade committee, and full particulars have been explained to them. They announce (Continued on page four)
"BLUE” MUSIC AND GAIETY AT DANCE
Colored Spotlights to Play on Dancers at Homecoming Ball Saturday.
Features of the Homecoming Dance will be balloon and serpentine showers throughout the evening to add a note of gayety and color and the Bilt-more orchestra, which will add many notes (of the syncopated variety) just as gay but as o color—well, blues will predominae. All decoration plans for the dance were completed yesterday, according to Marjiorie Rice, chairman ol the commitwtee in charge.
There will be no conscious effort at decoration. Marjorie Rice states that palms and growing plants will be the only decoration used because there has already been so much decorating Avenue and the Coliseum both in festive array, the committee feels that a more pleasing effect will be created by simplicity. The Fiesta Room needs no decoration to add to its beauty.”
Frosh Burn Hats in Traditional Pajamarino
Friday night at 8:45 the class of 1929 will cavort on the green grass of the Coliseum in the annual Pajamarino. Previous to the big stunt will be the chariot race between the Frosh and Sophs. In this race twenty-five of the strongest pea-greeners will pit their strength against the prowess of twenty-five Sophomore representatives. Excitement will be suprema.
Every Freshman should be present for the big parade, wearing a loud pair of pajamas and a red cap, according to Les Lavelle. To conclude the Pajamarino, the Freshman hats, symbol of lowliness, will be used to feed the flames of the big fire. “Freshman, be there with pajamas on,” is the warning.
About twenty thousand spectators will be present and as usual all eyes will be on the stunts of the Frosh. The Pajamarino will come as an aftermath of the banquets that will come earlier in the evening.
Also, t.iere will be practicing of yells under the direction of Burdette Henney. As the rooting section will be a large factor of Saturday’s game it is quite necessary for every member of the section to be present.

"Yyvcnne! The Junior Prom is to bf held Saturday evening, December the 12th, at the Ambassador Hotel in hcnor of the visiting St. Mary’s eleven and our own Trojan heroes. Will you go with me?”
Such was the refrain 'that ran like wildfire down the byways and through the highways leading to and from the Southern California campus yesterday morning after the announcement in the Trojan that the Junior Prom was scheduled for Saturday, December 12. Many anticipatory dates had been made for this eagerly awaited event.
Anciently the redmen of this territory reckoned time from moon to moon —nowadays the Trojan cohorts date everything as coming before or after the Junior Prom. Aside from the interest attaching to the dance as the criterion of social par excellence of the season, is the zest that is always evident when Southern Cal. holds a (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)

Promptly at one thirty on Friday, the bedlam of horns of hundreds of cars will be turned loose around the University, signifying the start of the parade to welcome the Iowa team. Decorated with Iowa colors, gold and black, the Southern California rooters will then quiet down and proceed to the Southern Pacific station making as little commotion as possible, according to latest reports.
Streamers of gold and black will be supplied by the Student Book Store and Ormand Greer, who is in charge of the parade, urges all students with cars to enter the parade with their cars decorated with Iowa colors rather than S.

While the Trojan band is playing ‘‘High O’er the Field of Battle,” the rally flag will be raised. Class meetings will be held immediately after this part of the program.

It has been announced that Wm. E. Bush has provided a fleet of ten Pierce Arrow cars to convey the team from the Southern Pacific Station to their hotel. The plan of march of the parade has been given out and it is planned to go up Fifth street to Figueroa, as an Anti-parade law prohibits going up Broadway. From Figueroa the parade will continue back to the local campus, and the Iowa team will be either taken to their hotel or to the Coliseum, where they will hold a short secret workout.
A police escort will be provided for the returning parade from the station. Policemen will also be placed near the Southern aPcific depot to assist in parking the Southern California cars and regulate the traffic correspondingly-

The feature of the evening was a talk given by Ben Reed, Managing Editor of the Southern California Editors Association, and organizer of it. This organization is now composed of 125 members, and Mr. Reed is striving to make it national. The subject of his talk dealt with newspaper work as a profession.

As the mother chapter of Sigma Delta Pi was established in 1919, and as there are chapters at the Universities of Berkeley, Texas, Missouri, Wooster, Ohio, Maryland, and Kansas, it may be plainly seen that it is a signal honor that has come to Southern California, in that only the universities having the best scholastic standing are considered for membership.

“I am heartily in favor of a building where the students may have comfortable quiet rooms for study an drooms where committees and campus organizations may meet,” said Dr. May Sinclair Crawford, Dean of Women, when asked to give her opinion of the proposed Trojan Union.
“There is no reason why the stud-nets should not raise money for such a place in three semesters. It is primarily a student activity and they should take the initiative in the matter with out looking to the university administration for help.”
Dr. Crawford pointed out several flaws in the present plan as presented in the Tuesday’s edition of the Trojan. The first objection she makes is in regard to the name “Trojan Union,” on the grounds that it is so very unoriginal, having been copied first from Oxford and then used all over this country.
“That is the greatest fault I have to find with western universities/' she added. “They are perfectly satisfied

Dr. Crawford points out that as the two gymnasiums soon to be erected will have their own swimming pools, this feature should not be incorporated in tjie student building.” “Our crying needs at present are for a large lunch room, with smaller rooms where luncheons may be held, a large dance hall which may also* be turned into an auditorium on occasion, and a num-her of small rooms for organization meetings.”
“This university certainly needs such a building and I am confident that the students will be able to raise sufficient funds to at least start the building paying the remainder from rents for meeting space. I wrould suggest that the students appoint a committee to meet with Mr. Stonier at the earliest opportunity to discuss ways and means. If fraternitys and with unoriginal ideas instead of trying sororities are able to support them-
The lecture was brought to a close when Chief Strongheart said, “If the colors red and white are good enough to remain side by side on the American flag, they ought to be good enough for men of those colors to remain side by side in daily life.”
The program was further enhanced by five organ numbers which were rendered by Dean Steele. They were, “O Cheerful Fire,” “Wind in the Chimney,” “Grandmother Knitting,” “The Kettle Boils,” and “Grandfather’s Wooden Leg.”

GIRLS PROPOSE TO BAN ‘NECKING,’ DRINKING, SMOKING
The first attempt at contact between
university and high school women will be made when several resolutions adopted by the college women of Southern California are read before two hundred high school delegates at a luncheon given by Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford at the social hall Saturday noon. The resolutions, which are an expression of the ideals of college women, were passed at the recent womens’ conference at Pomona college, and concern such problems as “petting”, smoking and drinking intoxicating liquor.
Representing 30,000 girls from ail Southern California, these members of the Girls’ Clubs will meet in Los Angeles for a conference under the direction of Miss Humphreys, vice-principal of Polytechnic high school. The entertainment Saturday noon w’ll b3 a box luncheon sponsored by Dean Crawford, with Misses Ethel Olivpr and Dorothy D. Stephens, president and vice-president of the S.C.A.W.S., as guests After the luncheon the girls will attend the S.C.-Iowa game in a body.
The ideas to be presented to the visiting delegates will be: Resolved, that this body shall go on record as attemping to promote better balanced lives among the modern women; that this body shall promote leadership in all branches of activities; and that this body shall go on record as opposed to drinking liquor, smoking, and ‘petting.’ ”
By thus setting the college women's standard before the younger girls, it is hoped that they may set their ideals and aspirations on a higher level, according to Miss Oliver.
In referring to this plan. Dean Crawford expressed her ideas as being in favor of it as a great stride forward in encouraging cooperation (Continued on page four)
