Eddie Oudermeulen, president of the Knights, has corrected this statement. The announcement should have been that the Knights must file applications for tickets to the Homecoming tilt, but will not be required to buy them. Applications may be obtained at the Student Store.

Lawyer Consulted About Fraternity Row Disturbance
Counter Action is Started Against Complainants of Noise on 28th Street.
Twenty Editors Will Attend Press Confab
MOSCOW. Idaho, Nov. 7. (P.I P.)— The North Idaho Editorial Association will hold their fall convention in Moscow November 5. Delta Sigma, professional journalistic society, is host to the convention, and approximately twenty editors are expected to attend the meeting.
The law firm consulted by the complainants about the noise on Twenty-eighth street stated yesterday in an interview to the Trojan that an investigation has been made by them of the matter in point of legality.
“We were requested to make an investigation and found that the fraternity and sorority houses on Twenty-eighth street are in Zone “A” which is a residential section set apart by the city planning commission for houses and dwelling where one family may reside.
‘There may or may not be any action taken. It is now up to the complaining residents whether or not any formal action is to be started,” their representative stated to a reporter on the daily Trojan.
Additional information was gathered that there was some form ol! counter action being taken by the agents of the sororities and fraternities on the street. It was discovered that the north side of Twenty-eighth street is the “A” zone and the south side is in the “B" zone. This makes only the houses on ihe north side of the street under the single family zoning law and the ones on the south side are immune to the complaint.

R.L. FRENCH TO ATTEND BIG CONFAB
S. C. Journalist, National President of Sigma Delta Chi, Leaves For East.
THIRTEENTH MEET
Delegate Awarded Wells Memorial Key Last Year; Newspaper Man.
By BILL ARNOLD
Ray L~ French, assiciate professor of journalism, and national president of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, left this morning for Lawrence, Kansas, where the organization’s 13th annual convention will be held next week. Kansas University will be the host institution.
Professor French, who is the first teacher ever to head the fraternity, with all previous presdients in the practical newspaper field, last year was awarded the Wells Memorial key, which is given each year to the man who has done the most during the previous year for the fraternity. At that time he was national secretary and the year before was treasurer.
The S. C. professor, who came to the Trojan institution this semester after three years as head of the jour-i^lism department at the University of North Dakota, has many prominent men in the field of journalism as associates among the national officers of Sigma Delta Chi. Among them are Kent Cooper, general manager of the Associated Press; James A. Stewart, managing editor of the Indianapolis Star; Donald H. Clark, editor of the Midcontinent Banker; Kenneth Ho-gate, editor of the Wall Street Journal; Ward A. NefT, owner of Drover’s Daily Journal, Chicago; George F. Pierrot, managing editor of the American Boy; and Clifford De Puy, owner of Northwestern Banker.
Since Professor French’s arrival at S. C., a group of Trojans have organized into a local professional fraternity with the purpose of petitioning Sigma Delta Chi. This fraternity was founded at De Pauw University in 1909, and now has forty chapters in leading colleges and universities of the country, ranking as the only fraternity of its type in existence.
The main speaker at the convention will be J. Alfred Spender, of the London Westminster Gazette, now in this country making a study of American journalism. Other speakers will be William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette; United State Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, who will be host to the fraternity at a banquet in Topeka during the convention; exgovernor Henry J. Allen, editor of the Wichita Beacon; and Henry Haskell, editor of the Kansas City Star.
TROJAN CO-EDS WILL ENTER BIG SALES CONTEST OF JOKE EDITION
The Inter-Sorority Sales Contest, which has to do with co-ed salesmanship of the Wampus, will start next Tuesday, when the December number of the magazine will be released. Wamp was scheduled to make its appearance on the campus yesterday morning but due to a hold up in the proof the issue was delayed.
“There was some misunderstanding among the sororities,” stated Paul Slater, Wampus business manager, “regarding the release date of the magazine as this was not made entirely clear to the sorority sales managers. However, the Wampus, will positively appear on the campus next Tuesday and will be sold entirely by Trojan Co-eds.”
Slater states that this idea is being sponsored by the business staff of the Wampus in order to increase the sales
of the magazine as the staff holds that although the Trojan men can refuse to buy from other men they cannot easily refuse the pleas of the "fairer
sex” without a corresponding loss of popularity.
By the rules of the contest each sorority may have five girls on the campus to sell and substitutes may be made for these girls when they have to attend classes, but at no time can more than five girls sell for one house.
Another announcement of particular interest in feminine circles was made by Slater regarding the Beauty and Personality contest which wil lbe introduced in the January Issue of Tommy Wamp. This contest will be carried on entirely by photographs and Slater’s advice to the girls is that they get busy and collect their most flattering photographs.
