Plans for the year’s activities of the Deputations Committee were formulated at the committee’s first meeting heid in “Dee” Tallman’s office yesterday noon. Types of possible programs to be presented under the auspices of the Deputations Committee were discussed. According to Sam Gates, chairman of the committee, “A short play, prefaced by music, and concluded by a good short speech will serve the purpose much better than movies.”
The English and Speech departments of S. C. will work together in assisting the' committee on the arrangement of their presentations. The programs are to be given at all of ths major high schools of Southern California commencing about the middle of January. One program about 30 minutes long will be given each week.
Two or three casts are to be kept working on the same play throughout the period of rehearsals. Grant La Mont is to direct the production and Eleanor Veale, Pauline Klene, Dorothy Davis, and John Atwill are working with him in the writing of a suitable play. William Henley and Sam Gates will have charge of the selection of the speakers for the programs.
The university authorities are giving the committee their best co-operation in the presentation of these programs as they are considered an

Before we get too far away from it, we have a few more things to say about Cal and Stanford, things which we consider to be constructive and for the good of Southern California. There will be those who will want to know why we are “handing" the northern institutions so much. “Don t you think we have anything as good here as they have? Why all this copying of California and Stanford?” they will ask. As we said before, there are

The other thing that impressed our own student bodv president while at Palo Alto was a glimnse which he got of the “Stanford spirit.” We are not sure iust how much this really means to the men there, but it made quite an impression on Tallman. Cer-t^i-ilv it is true that we would like to have a worthwhile “Southern California spirit” here Mrhethe’* tbev have a similar one in the north or not. Th’s spirit, however, “Dee” described as being a feeling of comradeship between all Stanfordites. It is not a theoretical thing, to be used freely in newspaper paragranhs and then forgotten. It is a controlling force in the lives of the students and alumni of the institution.

The thing that causes the most friction between the Palo Alto students and ourselves is this matter of scholarship. They claim, unjustly we believe, that not enough emnhasis is olaced on scholastic work here and that we are simply a great, social institution with a pretty good football n,Um^ef °! team. The onlv argument to that, of course, is a flat denial. Nevertheless, it is true that we go in

“The Spirit of Armistice Day” will be the theme of the address which will be given by President Rufus B. von KieinSmid at a special assembly of the entire student body called for tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock.
The regular 9:25 classes will meet at 9 o’clock as the regular morning devotinal chapel will be omitted. To allow plenty of time for the assembly program, the 10 o’clock classes will be adjourned.
Mrs. Virgie Lee Mattoon, one or the outstanding contraltos of Southern California, will sing a solo. There will also be special instrumental music.
No announcement has been issued in regard to class attendance on Thursday by the Registrar’s office, other than the statement that classes will be held throughout the day.
In the past, however, it has been the custom of the university author ities to dismiss the afternoon classes on Armistice Day. Many students are looking forward to the continuance of this custom this year.

TROJAN STAFF PLANS BREAKFAST
Initiating a new way of getting together. the Trojan staff will meet at 7:15 at breakfast, gathering Friday morning at the Cottage Tea Room, said George Jordan, editor, yesterday.
“The Trojan staff has had two successful meetings this year, and the turnout at each meeting was very encouraging. But due to the fact that twelve o’clock meetings conflicted with the routine of some members of the staff, who had only their
lunch period in which to write theii assignments, the breakfast meeting idea will be tried out,” he 3aid.
“The editors will give talks on the different phases of the paper, and suggestions will be discussed in round table fashion. Some twenty of the staff have signed up for the breakfast, and it is urged that every member be at the meeting.
“The gathering will be dismissed in time for all present to be in tim^ for their eight o’clock classes.” _
