LARGE BAND TO GO TO CAL
One Hundred Men To Go; Special Features Planned By Harold Roberts.
The Trojan Band will be repre-j sented by a hundred piece aggrega-; tion at California, it has been announced by Bill Ward, manager for the musicians.
Elaborate plans for stunts in conjunction with the rooting section are being made by Manager Ward and the director, Harold Roberts.

The studio will be ready by noon i so that the first pictures will be taken early in the afternoon. Ralph Holly, editor, and Les Heilman, business manager, have made possible this con-! venient arrangement and they have ; been assured that the Juniors and Seniors will put in an‘early appearance so that the plans for an early publication will not be delayed.
Juniors aud Seniors will be the first | to be photographed. While both j classes will have individual pictures ; taken, the seniors will pose in cap and gown. Approximately thirty students can be photographed daily, in the opinion of Holly, but with a large class i no delay can be afforded.
As soon as the juniors and seniors are photographed, the work of shooting the fraternities, clubs, and all other organiations will begin.
NEW COUNCIL PLAN
Discuss Dean of Men As Substitute For Fraternity House Mothers.
At its meeting on the first Tuesday of November, the Inter-Fraternity Council will discuss the advisabilty of having a very active Dean of Men. This plan wi\] be discussed as an alternative to the plan for having house mothers which was proposed and voted down at the last council meeting.
There will also be discussed the possibility of sending some representative of the local council to the National LTndergraduate Inter-Frater-nity Council meeting to be held in New York some time in the coming month. Mr. Fritz also stated that there is a committee working hard upon the present fraternity rushing rules for the purpose of clarirying them and to fix a sliding scale of; punishment for all violations. This committee, composed of Ravelle Har-; rison, Morley Drury, Ormond Grier, | and Edward Spence, is open for sug- j gestions from any of the fraternities in regard to rushing rules and regu-1 lations. These suggestions may be handed to any one of the committee members and they will be given consideration.
EXTRAVAGANZA CONTEST PRAISED
Widespread student and faculty interest in the “Extravaganza Manuscript Contest” evidenced by numerous inquiries by the one and- pro fessional commendation by the other is reported by the committee that will judge the winning manuscript which will bring to tbe finalist one hundred dollars in gold coin.
In commenting upon the manuscript competition. Dr. Allison Gaw said the following:
“The Extravaganza Manuscript Contest is one of the greatest steps yet taken towards the furthering of original productions on this campus.” When asked his opinion of the contest, Gwynn Wilson, general manager of the associated students, had this to say:
“It will undoubtedly bring into view undiscovered talent, and will tend to put local productions on a
par
with those of eastern universi-
ties.”
Ellsworth Ross, last year’s manager of productions, enthusiastically praised the “Extravaganza Manuscript Contest” when he said:
“For a long time musical comedy productions on the S. C. campus has shown improvement, but I feel sure that with the advent of such student interest in the creation of original scripts, there can be little doubt but what the comedy values of the yearly musical farce will set a new criterion for amusement.”
Manager of productions, John Atwill asks all people interested in the compettiion to fill out participating applications which may be secured in Miss Poetker's office in the Associated Students’ Store. It is his desire to keep in touch with the contestants and explain more fully the conditions of the contest and to answer any questions that may arise.

GEORGE C. JORDAN
For the benefit of those who took the sparce show of hands in chapel Friday seriously we call attention to the fact that more than 300 train tickets have been I sold for the big Trojan Special caravan next Friday night. Despite the rumors to the contrary which we have heard, the Southern Pacific agent in the bookstore tells us that the sororities are cooperating splendidly. We have heard that some of the houses are chartering reservations on the boat. We do not know if it is true. But we do know that the majority of the girls are coming through with a response that makes it easy for us to forget the things we said a while ago about their rushing rules. That is going to be a real Trojan caravan Friday night. It is going to be an event that will remain forever in the memories of those who go as one of the highlights of their college careers. In the meantime, if there are undecided students in our midst, we make this last plea to make arrangements to go with the “gang” while there is time. WE RE ALL GOING TO CAL!
• • *
Friday evening we attended a fraternal installation at the Southern Branch. To us it was one of the most invigorating experiences we have had. We found the editor there, Bill Forbes, a fine, friendly chap, ready and anxious to talk over the mutual troubles of getting out a daily paper, and we found a group of men working with him who are facing the same problems that we have here. We found that we have a good deal in common and the finding was a pleasant experience. Plans are under way for a joint meeting of the press clubs of the two universities. What with a little mutual understanding with the Southern Branch and a few more meetings with representatives from Berkeley and the college men here on the Pacific Coast will be speaking to each other again. It looks promising. We look forward now to the Cal trip to further build up the growing spirit of friendly rivalry.
* # *
We are all for keeping up sportsmanlike rivalry. Frankly, we would rather give Cal a good licking on the football field this year and we would rather have our rooting section outshine them and our band outplay them than anything we can think of. We welcome the growth of the Southern Branch as a rival worthy of our best efforts here in the Southland. But rivalry does not have to mean puerile hate and snobbish superiority. That is what we do not want and what we will not have. Rivalry and competition, yes; mud slinging and grudges, no.
Greeted with a tremendous round of applause, Bob McCarthy, student body president of the University of California, appeared before a packed assembly Friday morning in Bovard Auditorium.
McCarthy talked on the promotion of friendly relations between the two greatest universities of the coast, making a point of the coming game. He also made several remarks concerning past hostile relations between the two colleges.
“Southern California has a golden opportunity to help California in the coming bond issue which will be in j evidence November 2nd,” stated i McCarthy, “and we hope that we may sometimes be able to render Southern California a similar service.”
A further statement was made by McCarthy concerning the number and cbndition of the California buildings, remarking that out of seventy-five buildings only thirteen are permanent and in good condition. As an example of the conditions, he spoke of the Infirmary, which was a private residence taken over temporarily to serve the purpose. This building is still in use after a period of twenty years.
McCarthy was entertained at the local chapter of his fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha, during his visit to the S. C. campus. Saturday he was the guest of Tallman at the S. C-Occi-dental game.
Tallman will make a return visit to the California campus Friday to express Trojan goodwill to the followers of the Golden Bear.
Are you going to Cal?
It struck us as being rather unfortunate that McCarthy mentioned those 75 shacks and the 13 permanent buildings in his appeal to Southern California men and women to support Amendment 10. Thirteen permanent buildings is so far ahead of our campus situation that we are afraid some of us failed to grasp the desperateness of the situation up there. Nevertheless we guess they do need the buildings and as far as we re concerned they may have them. Our Executive Committee has voted a resolution favoring the Amendment, and we look for the student body to fall in line at the polls to play the game with our northern neighbors.

As yet there have been very few suggestions turned in to the inter-fraternity council for the new rushing rules that are to soon be drawn up in detail. If it is because the men believe that the minor details are such as can (Continued on Page Three!

I feeling between the S. C. campus I factions and those of the state institutions is being made by the Press Club, journalistic Trojan society. Joint meeting of the local club with that of the Southern Branch is being planned for November 4 with that objective in view.
Arrangements have been made with Ben Person, president of the club at the Branch, for a large group of representatives from the neighboring campus. All presidents of campus organizations have been invited to attend the special meeting. One of the most commodious fraternity houses on the campus will be obtained for the meeting, as at least 80 are expected to attend. Refreshments will be served by the host club.
Hal Stonier, executive secretary of the university, and Leland Tallman, president of the student body, are scheduled to speak at the meeting. It is expected that the theme of both speeches will concern the desirability of a friendly spirit between the schools.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC FURNISHES TIES FOR HUGH BONFIRE RALLY

TROJAN STAFF MEETING
There will be a short but important Trojan Staff meeting this noon at
12:20.
That a large number of Southern 1 California men and women will at-| tend the Trojan-Bear battle is assured by the large ticket sale, according to Mr. P. N. Marshall, manager of the university ticket sales. But it is doubtful whether the Trojan team will receive anywhere near as much support as will the Bears. The authority for that statement is the fact that very many Southern California men are purchasing tickets outside of the rooting section. In fact, they insist on paying three dollars for a comparatively poor seat rathen than one dollar for a student’s seat opposite the fifty yard line.
“Stanford tickets will go on sale Monday,” declared Mr. Marshall, "and for three days only holders of student activity books may buy tickets. Students holding activity books should appear for tickets before the window whose number corresponds to the one on their books. There is no doubt that a mammoth crowd will witness the Southern California-Stanford struggle. Right now, however, we are more concerned about having a unified rooting section at the Cal game.”
NEW REFRESHMENT SALON OPENS DOORS
Popular Collegiate Cafe Caters To Trojans. Located At 1790 West Adams.
Trojans who have tired of ordinary I refreshment places will be particularly ! pleased with Baker’s Refreshment I Salon at 1790 West Adams St. Baker’s I is fast becoming known as the “Col-I lege Rendezvous,” and an exclusively collegiate crowd may be found there I every evening. Everyone, according to Mr. Baker, manager, enjoys going | to a popular place after the show or dance, and yet not feel the pocket-book dangerously flat.
Baker's Refreshment Salon has been recently redecorated in a truly collegiate motif and it supplies the need for a place just a little different from the ordinary where a man desires to take a girl to finish an enjoyable evening. Anything in the way of eats or soft drinks are served and the prices are much lower than prevailing at most places of this type.
Mr. Baker ls a young man and knows what pleases college students and he is doing his best to furnish Trojans with an unusual stopping-off place after the theatre or dance.

One bull fighter and a red handkerchief downed cavemen, puritans, and villains in the annual Hi Jinks classic at the “Y” hut Thursday night, and carried the silver sandwich tray to the Theta Omicron house. Following in the wake of the Pi Phi’s squawking babies, the dauntless toreador rolled up to the footlights on a 1926 tricycle. No bull being in sight the valiant hero split time with the durham and played bull too.
Tri-Delt powder puffs, candy, and dress bills masquerading under the title of “The Woman Pays” ran second to the Spanish gallant in the decision. Alpha Chi Omega’s "Lovers of History” received honorable mention.
