An announcement that may interest the campus, is view of the criticism of the group pictures of last year, is to the effect that all organizations will have individual pictures. Plans are under way to organize the entire campus into various groups such as seniors, juniors, social organizations, etc., in order that special periods may be set aside for the photographing of these sections.
Work on the El Rodeo is open to all students, and especially to freshmen and sophomores. This afternoon at 2:15 all returning staff workers and those new students who are desirous of working on the yearly publication should see the editor in his office at 812 W. 37th St.

Cat To Be In Many Places
Southern California’s Wampus will appear this year on ail the leading newstands of Los Angeles and neighboring cities.
Material for the Wampus is now being gathered into form for the October publicavion, although the literary standard and the quality of humor and art, has been raised. The editor wishes to correct a recent statement in the Trojan to the effect that the Wampus is to be a “highbrow” publication. Bryant Hale, editor of the Wampus, states that the magazine is as full of humor, wit, and cartoons as heretofore, and that the literary section is a new addition and will in no way affect the spirit of the magazine.
There will be 25 pages of humor and 16 pages of literary contributions. devoted to feature articles and short stories. The short story section will be edited by Morgan Cox. There will be 3 short stories: “The Left Door,” a mystery story, by Morgan Cox: ‘Marked Cards,” a story of the underworld by Bernice Palmer, and “The Fumble,” by Jeff McDonald. In addition to this fiction will be added a serial, “The Adventures of a U. S. C. Co-ed.” According to Hale, this is the story of a girl entering S. C. as a Frosh. It will deal with her experiences with prominent men and women on the campus and the numerous escapades and scandals in which she is involved.
The feature department will be edited by Vivian Murphy. This section will consist of interesting articles on “Coach Howard Jones,” “The Trojan Rooting Section,” and “Why We Are Called Trojans.”
The art of this Wampus issue has been adjudged both beautiful and unusual by its editor and by its publisher. The unique cover of the first Wampus was drawn by Gertrude Zip-ser. The full pages were done by Marvin Connell and Bob Crosby. The chief cartoonist is Marcus Messinger, assisted by John Coulther. Mabel Branstein, Virginia Campbell, Bud In-

Deputation Skits to be Given p„flPO fZmim Before Business Clubs This f	vl TUUfJ
Year	Gets Approval
Having been approved by the executive committee at a meeting held last night, the students’ publicity committee will begin functioning immediately. The News’ committee has as its .members: Matt Barr, Terrell DeLapp, Ralph Huston, Bill Arnold, Lee Bastajan and Bill Harvey.
Karmi Wyckoff, chairman of the Organization Committee has as her assistants John Smith, Steve Underwood and Earl Wright. Steve Underwood will represent the rally committee.
The organization will be represented in various student body activities and organizations. They are directly responsible to Karmi Wyckoff, who in turn is responsible to the news committee. This committee is connected with the down town periodicals. Karmi Wyckoff, general supervisor of both committees, will appoint members, whose names in turn will be passed on and approved of by the executive committee.
READING ROOM INAUGURATES NEW SYSTEM
Recent changes in the system of the Collateral reading room has greatly increased the service and eliminated the losses in the library. The enclosure of the book stacks makes it necehsary to apply at the desk, but books may now be checked out for two hours and taken anywhere. They are timed to the minute and are not due on the hour. This arrangement eliminates the crowded condition in Collateral library and al-ows those who really want to study to go elsewhere.
The old system of open shelves necessitated supervision over the exit. Because the students did not feel the responsibility of the rules the honor system was of no effect. Some 375 books valued at about 51000 were lost last year. Five percent of the books on reserve disappeared either through carelessness or improper recording, according to the head librarian, Miss Charlotte Brown.
Plans for the deputations, committee for this year, as announced by Bob Behlow yesterday, include ? change in the object of the group and the students appointed to membership.
The purpose of the committee, to keep alive interest on the part of residents of Southern California in the University, remains the same as last year, and will be continued this year.
Changes have been made, however, in the object of the group. Instead of presenting programs before high schools of Los Angeles and Southern California, as was done last year, the plan for this year is to present the entertainment before business clubs. Tentative plans call for appearances before such groups as the KiwanLs Club, Rotary Club, Lions Club, Service Club, Ebell Club and other similar organizations.
In this way, it is believed, a different group will be reached, and contacts made with people who have just as much interest in the university as have the high school students.

RUSHING PROVES DREADFUL REGIME
HOOSE LIBRARY BECOMES NOTED
BY MURIEL HEEB
She’s a ramblin’ wreck—
But who wouldn’t be after a week of rushing like this? Morning, noon and who knows when?
That awful strain of keeping a smile constantly—we hope there are no dangerous results. And that ghastly feeling of talking to a rushee with one eye on the old watch praying that the ten minutes will last long enough to get that date cinched —or to be asked to that affair.
Those poor families that suffer so under this dreadful regime. How can sister step when all her newest clothes are attending rush affairs? What good does that nifty new car do brother when its really quite necessary to achieve that ultimate impression? And as to Dad—what chance does he stand with no furniture left in the house when he arrives?
It’s a grand game but built for speed and not endurance. It might be wise for some great scientist to spend a few years on figuring the final cost of nervous breakdowns per sorority.
Rather a brutal way to start a year —and spend the rest of it recuperating. But the suspense is repaid when that fatal presentation tea is given and the house may boast “just the most adorable pledges, my dear!”
Since its opening four years ago, the Hoose Philosophy Library, founded in memory of James Harmon Hoose ,has become an established scurce of knowledge to the students of the University of Southern California,
Many new and interesting books are added from time to time under the direction of Dr. Ralph T. Flewelling, head of the Philosophy department and director of the Hoose Library. Rare volumes were gathered by Dr. Flewelling on his sabbatical leave in Europe last year.
A reading room, one of the Library’s features, is open to every university student Books on various subjects may be obtained here that cannot be found in the Collateral Library.
There are approximately seven thousand books in the Library on many subjects including Philosophy, Religion, Sociology, Language. Science, Useful Arts, Fine Arts, Literature, History, Description and Travel, and biography.
Some acquaintances with the extensive collections of books in the Hoose Library will be advantageous to new students on the campus, and graduate students will find here valuable research material in several fields of learning.
SPEECH CLASSES TO TELL STORIES
Story telling classes for this year are to continue their work of conducting story hours at branch libraries and hospitals. The girls are very much interested in their work, according to Miss Tacie Mae Hanna, and she has, in the past, received many favorable reports. This work may be considered in the light of social service, especially in the hospitals, for the girls bring much joy to the little shut-ins.
She asks that the following girls will see her or leave word at the School of Speech office stating when they will be able to come:
Ethel Frances Bickford Helen Earnest Eunice Colcord Ruth Pettit Elberta Somers Clara Spelman Marjorie Stearns Ethel Sylvanus Mary Anderson Anna Brown Elizabeth Crowley Frances Evans Mrs. Bess Levin Alice McKie Bernice Newland Harriet Robertson Ruth Smith Louise von KieinSmid Mary Waters Marquita Young
THBEE MOTIONS PASS EX-BOARD
Campus Posters, Calendar, and Saturday Meeting are Considered by Committee.
Posters which will appear on the campus, dates on All-University nights, and meetings held on Satur day afternoons were the subject of three recommendations which were presented to the executive committee in the meeting Tuesday night.
From now on, organizations wishing to place posters on the campus will be requirAl to confer with Catherine ,Colwell, vice-president of the Associated Students. She will present the request to the executive committee, which will pass on it at its regular bi-monthly meetings.
Inasmuch as the committee meets only fortnightly, requisitions for posters should be in early enough to ol-low for this lapse of time. No other method is available for the official
O.K., and if posters are placed on the campus without the approval of the committee they will be removed without notice to the organization which they represent. That this ruling will be strictly enforced is the ultimatum of the executive committee.
That the executive committee suggests to the welfare committee that no permits for social events be issued on the nights of the All-University dates was the subject of the second recommendation to the committee. This was presented by Catherine Colwell, vice-president of the student body. The action of the com mittee was unanimously in favor of l^iis action.
The subject of campus organizations holding meetings on Saturday afternoon during the time of football games was the content of the third recommendation, presented by Ruth Carr, chairman of the historical committee. That this is against all rules of the university and the students was pointed out. It was implied that any organization found breaking this ruling will be summarily dealt with.
FROSH SET TO APPEASE IRE TODAY
Class Winning Two Out of Three Events To Be Declared Victor.
RUSH AT 1:30 Annual Conflict To Take Place on Bovard Field; Sophomores Favorites.
Ihe class of 1931. having suffered numerous and sundry indignities during its first two weeks on the camus* this afternoon has its initial opportunity to display any well-concealed powers of assault and battery, when the annual Frosh-Sopho-more rush takes place on Bovard field at 1:30.
Armed to the teeth, and goaded to a pugnacious frenzy through the efforts of a crew of orators, the Green Horde will be turned loose upon the Sophs promptly at 1:30 in the first of three events. A pushball contest, a tug-o'-war, and a tie-up are on the schedule, and the class winning two of the three events will be hailed as victors.
The present Sophomore class, Freshmen last year, won the annual competition in as wild a battle as Bovard Field ever has witnessed, in the clsteh of 1926. Confident of their superior might and skill, they are heavy favorites to win again today, and unless unsuspected ability lies hidden in the Freshman class, it is thought probable that the second year men will emerge victorious. The Sophs organized Monday for the big event, beating out the yearlings by two days, and consequently can be considered better prepared for the fray. Captains were appointed, plans for battle laid, and a complete mastery of the situation predicted at the meeting.
The official judgments will be handed down by the Trojan Knights. The "Redshirts” are to be out in full force, armed with paddles, to make sure that no unfair tactics are brought forth, and also to insure each class of the whole-hearted efforts of the team members, for the loafers will be beaten back into the fray without discrimination.
A record crowd of spectators is ex-pectedj as the battle shows every indication of being a history making
affair.
S. C. TO CONTINUE RADIO PROGRAMS
NOTICES
All notices must be brought to the Trojan office at 716 West Jeffersen St. or phoned to HUmbolt 4522. Notices must be limited to 35 words.
ADAM AND EVA
The first rehearsal for Adam and Eva will be held Friday at 7:45 in Bovard auditorium.
PRE-LEGAL
There will be a meeting of the Pre-Legal Society, Thursday, Sept. 29, at 7:30 p.m., in Hoose 305.
PRESS CLUB MEETING
There will be an important meeting of the Press Club in the Trojan office at 12:15 Tuesday. President Howard Edgerton insists all members must be present.
That she will continue the work of broadcasting plays over the radio this semester was the announcement made by Miss Tacie Mae Hanna. A program will be presented every two weeks, the first to be on October 13 at eight o’clock over KFI. The cast for this play will be selected by Miss Hanna from those who broadcasted last year ,but there will be tryouts for the succeeding programs.
From twelve to fifteen letters were received weekly complimenting the players and the director on their wdrx and asking that the programs be continued. Canada, Mexico, Florida. Nova Scotia, the Middle West and local territory were all represented.
Radio broadcasting is the latest branch of Speech work and Miss Hanna states that the requirements are very different from those of the more ordinary branches. She states that care must be taken not to choose a play that is too involved nor one in which there are too many characters. The players, too, must have voices which broadcast well and care must be taken that the timbre of the voices differ enough to be easily distinguished, since a radio audience gains impressions entirely through what is heard.
Those who are interested are asked to watch the Trojan for announcement of tryout dates.
