There has been no final decision concerning this matter, however, and it will probably be decided upon at the next meeting of the class.”
The “Sophomore Hop,” which is scheduled to take place sometime in December, will also be discussed at the next meeting as Adams s'.ites that much time and effort will be spent on the preparations for this affair in order to make it an outstanding success.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOREVER!

There will be a very important meeting of the German Club today at 12:15 in H-307.
The Community Chest appeal on the S. C. campus will not end today, as had ben planned, but will continue throughout the week to coincide in length with the general city-wide campaign, according to Bill Ruymann, chairman of the chest committee.
Less than one-tenth of the quota allotted to this university has been con tributed so far by the students, it was learned yesterday. The question as to whether S. C. will do its part in putting over the Community Chest drive on the campus, is so acute that William Henley, student body president, has isued a special appeal to the students to make their dollar contributions at the earliest possible moment.
“The success of the Community Chest campus appeal is a matter of vital interest to the University,” said Henley. “The eyes of the civic, social and business leaders of Los Angeles are focussed upon us to see whether the University of Southern California student body is awake to its heavy civic and social responsibilities. We must show them that we are able and willing to assume our share of the but den in advancing the cause of human ity in this great city. S. C. students should be glad to give when every contribution they make to the Community Chest reflects a commensurate amount of honor upon their alma mater. If you have forgotten to do your share, hunt up the nearest Community Chest solicitor immediately and give him your dollar, or more, if you can afford It.”
All students who contribute are urged to keep and wear their buttons throughout the length of the campaign inasmuch as the fraternity and sorority houses and dormitories are to be canvassed In order to have each house (Continued on Page Two)

“THE TRAVELLERS” TO BE PRESENTED THURSDAY NIGHT
Three Plays Will Be Given By Touchstone Drama Shop in Theatre.
Touchstone Drama Shop will present its first program of the year at 8 o’clock Thursday evening, Nov. 3, in Touchstone auditorium.
The plays to be presented are “The Travellers” by Booth Tarkington,
“Aria de Capo,” is a fantasy pre-,, Millay, and “Mansoins,” by Hilde-garde Flanner. The first, a comedy, deals with the difficulties encountered by an American family housed in an Italian hotel on a stormy night.
“Aria d eCapo,” is a fantasy presenting in an unusually subtle way the futility of war.
The serious part of the program comes in “Mansions.” It presents the problem of a young sister and brother who have always been dominated by a strict, pious aunt. The boy has an unusual idea of the after life which his aunt discouraged, but his sister aids him in it.
The Drama Shop, under the direction of Lib Alexander Raede, is formulating ambitious plans for this year. The plays are selected, directed, and acted by students, and it is the ambition of the executives to bring about a closer contact between the University and other dramatic organizations in Los Angeles.

came between the three big schools of California, the student body of Southern California was not wholeheartedly behind its school. The alumni did not have the loyalty and pride in their school that they should have had. But when the three schools broke relations, the alumni rallied to the support of their school, sticking by it more securely than ever before. It was a turning point in tiiv. career of S. C.,” Henney stated.
At the time of severing relations, it became more evident than ever that the northern schools looked dwn upon S. C., and as Henney remarked at an assembly a short while back, “We were mere nothings to them.” The school came forth to show that the contentions of the other universities were wrong, and now we have California “on her knees” and Stanford stand-ing back with respect. Burdette mentioned in his rally talk that S. C. must fight on to change the poor opinion of the other institutions.
Everyone connected with the “Big Week” is of the opinion that Southern California needs a substantial boost and they expect Homecoming Week to be a big heip in that respect. The general attitude of everybody concerned is a major problem to be encoun-* tered; therefore “Southern Califor-nie Forever” is expected to be in the mind of everyone from now on. The idea to forge ahead and keep going, commanding the respect of all with whom S. C. comes in contact is the theme to be brought - out in the Homecoming motto.
The University and alumni are adopting the name" Southern California,” or abbreviated form, “S. C.,” as the preferred title of the school. The slogan of Homecoming Week will help to a great extent in putting the name before everyone in the right form. Yells and songs are being asked to use the adopted name. All publicity in the downtown papers uses the name Southern California, or S. C., instead of the cumbersome "University of Southern California” as before.
"SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOREVER!”
The second program presented by the deputations committee will be presented before the Mercator Club of Los Angeles this noon at the Clark Hotel, Fourth and Hill streets.
Carl Plate will address the club on “Football Receipts and How They are Spent,” while Elizabeth Henninger will have for her topic “The College Man and What He Has To OfTer To Society.”
SKIT FEATURED
“He and She,” the snappy dialogue skit presented at Santa Monica, with Avalon Daggett, Walter Outler and Art Brearly in the cast, will be the feature of the entertainment on the program.
Orchestra numbers will be played by Bud Pentz, piano, Terrel DeLapp, drums, Dale Stoddard, saxaphonist, and Tom Bryant, banjo.
Carroll Sandholt and Josephine Campbell will sing popular numbers and ballads.
According lo Betty von KieinSmid, secretary of the committee, the pre-sentatoin of this program before the Los Angeles club is due to the unqualified success with which the first appearance was received by the Santa Monica club. A letter was sent to Dan Scott by the president of the beach organization telling of the real merit and entertaining value of the program.
Dan Scott, through whom these programs are scehduled, is with the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation and is chairman of the speakers’ bureau of the Advertising Club of Los Angeles.
The Mercator Club is a service club organized along the some lilies as the Lions and Rotary groups. The difference* is, however, that the Mercator Club limits its membership to one member of each profession and industry, making the membership somewhat exclusive.
“American Commerce and World Peace” is one of the evening lectures, open to the public, scheduled for the Second Annual Session of the Institute of International Relations, to meet at Riverside, Calif., Nov. 27-Dec. 3, with President R. B. von KieinSmid of the University of Southern California as Chancellor, and Dr. K. C. Lee-brick of the University of Hawaii as Director.
With representatives of industrial, civic, commercial, political, scientific, and educational organizations taking part, round table conferences attended by members of the Institute and delegates will be held each morning, discussing “World Markets,” “Labor and Post-War Tendencies,” “Pan-American Relations,” etc., for the sevgn-day conclave.
“Stabilization of Germany, France, Belgium, Austria, Italy, and the Balkans,” will be covered in two of The afternoon conferences another of which will be devoted to “Race Relations.” and another to “The League of Nations, 1920-1927.”
