This is the first, and probably the last time, that the yearlings will be allowed to sit on the lower floor of Bovard Auditorium, and as a result, a number are expected to take advantage of the situation.

The committee has been working practically all summer under the direction of James Mussatti with the guidance of Morgan Cox. Representatives from each indi-pendent college have been on the committee and the desires of each, when possible, have been incorporated into the document It is rumored, however, that some questions are still unsettled, and that hot discussions are to be held over the respective points.

After this last committee meeting the constitution will be presented, with the recommendation of the constitutional adjustment committee, to the executive committee next Tuesday night in its regular fortnightly meeting. After, and if, the new document passes their committee, it will be presented to the student bodies of the different colleges for ratification. A majority vote will carry the constitution.

Elmquist will leave for Palo Alto on Thursday in order to prepare the rooting sections for the game. At these ralies the sub yell kings will have plenty of chance to prove their ability. Their future success depends upon the way they handle these rallies and whether or not they are a success. At the other games of the season they will assist Elmquist in preparing the bleacher stunts and with the other duties. Elmquist wishes to state that if the women of the University want a section of their own at the games it will be up to them entirely. If they come to games attired in white or light colored dresses it will be possible for them to put on several new stunts that he has planned. These stunts are expected to prove as much of a surprise to the fans as did the Trojan card stunts when they were first executed several years ago. All that is necessary to put the stunts across is the co-operation of the Trojan women.

Registrar. ALL STAFF POSITIONS RE-OPENED Wampus Will Appear on Campus Regardless of Change. anyoneTeligible Business and Editorial Staffs Effected by Ultimatum of the Editor. BY KARMI WYCKOFF "You’re fired!” were the words which, issued by Bryant Hale, editor, greeted every member of the Wampus staff yesterday morning. Only Ihe editor and the manager, Paul Slater, are left on the staff. Kditor, contributors, artists, business staff—all are out of a Wampus job. But the Wampus will walk the campus just the same. POSITIONS OPEN All posiUons on the staff are now open as a result of this statement by the editor. Anyone on the campus who considers that he or she has the requisite talent is eligible to try out. The reason for this ultimatum, according to the editor, is that, while the contributions were clever, of good quality, and up to standard, the copy was a month late. The deadline set last June before the close of the semester was August 25. The staff, though, collectively and Individually, was a month behind time in presenting the copy. Hence the Ire of the editor, the last maga-tzine, and the loss of staff posU. tions by some twenty-five students. The Cat will parade, though, regardless of the fact that its sponsors and guardians are separated from the children of their respective braina. "Wonderful,” "clever,” “of good quality,” were only a few of the phrases descriptive of the work accepted with which the editor characterized the contributions which will be contained in this issue. CLEVER COVER The cover, drawn by Gertrude Zip-ser, will adorn the room of every man on the campus—and perhaps some off—according to the editor, both “eds” and students alike. In view of the fact that the Wampus will be sold at football games, will be sent to many eastern and western universities, and will be sold on down-town news stands of Loa Angeles, staff positions should be the height toward which the humorous-minded literati of the campus should aspire, is the opinion of tho editor. Vivfan Murphy,, prominent co -ed holds the distinction of being the only member of the staff to resign before this devasting an-(Continued on Page Four) PRESS CLUB The first Press Club meeting of the year will be held today at noon in the Trojan office. QUILL EECD0NS HELD TOMORROW Initiation of Pledges at Meeting of Literary Organization Tomorrow Night.

Representatives from each indi-pendent college have been on the committee and the desires of each, when possible, have been incorporated into the document It is rumored, however, that some questions are still unsettled, and that hot discussions are to be held over the respective points. It is hoped that a compromise, suitable to each suggestion made, will be reached at this last meeting. After this last committee meeting the constitution will be presented, with the recommendation of the constitutional adjustment committee, to the executive committee next Tuesday night in its regular fortnightly meeting. After, and if, the new document passes their committee, it will be presented to the student bodies of the different colleges for ratification. A majority vote will carry the constitution. The first Press Club meeting of the year has been called for 12:15 today, by Howard Edgerton, president of the organization. All members are expected to be present, as plans for the semester will be outlined at the time. The Press Club is an honorary organization of members of the Trojan staff, who, in one semester’s active work, have displayed marked ability, and an interest in journalistic work.

YELL LEADERS TO HEAD RALLY Hopeful Assistants Given Chance; Will Perform in Stanford Rally. During the next few days the four men who tried out for assistant yell leader will be practicing under the direction of Yell King Elmquist Friday morning at the rally two of them will be chosen to help out Elmquist with the many tasks that are connected with the cheer job. The chief duty of the assistants will be to conduct the morning and evening rallies prior to the Stanford game. Elmquist will leave for Palo Alto on Thursday in order to prepare the rooting sections for the game. At these ralies the sub yell kings will have plenty of chance to prove their ability. Their future success depends upon the way they handle these rallies and whether or not they are a success. At the other games of the season they will assist Elmquist in preparing the bleacher stunts and with the other duties. Elmquist wishes to state that if the women of the University want a section of their own at the games it will be up to them entirely. If they come to games attired in white or light colored dresses it will be possible for them to put on several new stunts that he has planned. These stunts are expected to prove as much of a surprise to the fans as did the Trojan card stunts when they were first executed several years ago. All that is necessary to put the stunts across is the co-operation of the Trojan women.

BY KARMI WYCKOFF "You’re fired!” were the words which, issued by Bryant Hale, editor, greeted every member of the Wampus staff yesterday morning. Only Ihe editor and the manager, Paul Slater, are left on the staff. Kditor, contributors, artists, business staff—all are out of a Wampus job. But the Wampus will walk the campus just the same. POSITIONS OPEN All posiUons on the staff are now open as a result of this statement by the editor. Anyone on the campus who considers that he or she has the requisite talent is eligible to try out. The reason for this ultimatum, according to the editor, is that, while the contributions were clever, of good quality, and up to standard, the copy was a month late. The deadline set last June before the close of the semester was August 25. The staff, though, collectively and Individually, was a month behind time in presenting the copy. Hence the Ire of the editor, the last maga-tzine, and the loss of staff posU. tions by some twenty-five students. The Cat will parade, though, regardless of the fact that its sponsors and guardians are separated from the children of their respective braina. "Wonderful,” "clever,” “of good quality,” were only a few of the phrases descriptive of the work accepted with which the editor characterized the contributions which will be contained in this issue. CLEVER COVER The cover, drawn by Gertrude Zip-ser, will adorn the room of every man on the campus—and perhaps some off—according to the editor, both “eds” and students alike. In view of the fact that the Wampus will be sold at football games, will be sent to many eastern and western universities, and will be sold on down-town news stands of Loa Angeles, staff positions should be the height toward which the humorous-minded literati of the campus should aspire, is the opinion of tho editor.
