New System of Filling Vacancies Adopted at First Meeting—New Officers Elected
Autocrats of University Soon to Appear in Caps and Gowns
Differences in Customs, Dress and Speech Responsible for Slowness in Intermingling of Races
Mr. Fei Ch’l Hao, M. A., secretary ol Peking Y. M. C. A. and a former student at Yale, spoke in Chapel yesterday morning. He brought an important message to the assembled students In the way of a new viewpoint of service, and emphasized the fact that in our preparation for life we must consider where we can do the most good for mankind. He showed that the American people were regarded with a friendly attitude by the people of China because of the American policy in international affairs. Americans, in many instances, have given the people of China the benefit of a doubt, and were the first to recognize China as a republic.
The talk of Mr. Fei was characterized by an abundance of wholesome wit and humor, and although the students thoroughly enjoyed the manner in which has points were presented, they did not fail to grasp the real significance of them. "When coming to America I sometimes meet people who have friends in China, and they invariably ask me, ‘Do you know Mr. Ilrown? He is my particular friend’; and when I say I do not remember of having met him, they seem very surprised. Now, my friends, China is a large country, and if all the people who live there were to hear someone preach in this Chapel but once in the lifetime of each individual, it would lake over four hundred years for the Chinese people to pass through these halls. Some Americans are so very inquisitive that I sometimes become quite weary of their questions. They ask me if we really eat rats, and where is your pigtail, and why do so many Chinamen start laundries? I tell them that the reason for there being so many laundrymen must be the state of dirtiness of the Americans. Yes, Americans have many queer ways. A chicken ready for the table is said to be dressed, and fashionable women of society In abbreviated costumes are said to be in 'full-dress.’ It is so very hard to understand the full meaning of American words. While here on M.v first visit I was very much surprised at the freedom with which 5'oung men and women mingled in society and every-day affairs—yes, this in a country in which there is a great deal of spooning; but I soon became (Continued on page 2)

W. C. A. PLANS INNOVATION
ON CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Sophomore Class
to Enforce Traditions
Men of Sixteen in Conclave Declare that Freshmen Babes Must Perform Duty before Big Game
ADVANTAGES OF STUDENT BODY CARDS EXPLAINED
Reduced Rates, With Certain Limitations, Granted to Holders for Big Games of the Season
The class of ’17 held a spirited meeting in room 40 Monday at 12:20. Since the Sophomore class is held responsible for the enforcement of college traditions, it was unanimously voted to send a communication to the Freshmen, reminding them that the babes are expected to sweep the bleachers ! dainty gifts at reasonable prices with-
The Y. W. C. A. girls have formed a plan to help women students in the choosing and making of Christmas
giftB.
Misses Pauline Adair and Agnes Hendrick have been put in charge of this exchange and all girls are invited to bring samples of their work which will be exhibited in the cabinet in the Y. W. C. A. office. These articles will be catalogued by number and orders taken for them.
The committee in charge will be glad to answer any questions concerning this work.
The new plan will afford an opportunity for girls to earn a little pin-money, as well as a chance to buy
before the big games and to pick up the stones on Bovard field. The class of ’17 ducked its own members who failed to do their duty, and certainly the class of '18 will not wish to go down in history as a breaker of our sacred traditions.
The matter of holding a class picnic was postponed. L. V. Lucas was elected captain of the class football team, and Clyde Morrison captain of the basketball team. A number of members won the gratitude of the treasurer by-paying their dues. Watson will

NOTICE TO MEN PLAYING
BAND INSTRUMENTS
All men playing band instruments are urged to report at band practice Thursday at 4:00 p. m. in the Chapel. Mr. Elliot, under whose direction the band is being organized, is anxious to have a band out at the game with Whittier Saturday, and in order to do
be this, more men must turn out to prac pleased to receive dues from several tice. Men playing in the band will be others who have neglected the matter, admitted free to this game.
Now that our big games are about to begin, it is best that the student body know juBt what use can be made of the A. S. U. S. C. card. Tickets for the Whittier game on Saturday are one dollar for general admission, and one dollar fifty cents for reserved seats.
However, lor students with their A. S. U. S. C. cards a rate will be given of seventy-five cents, but a limit of three tickets is placed on each card.
Aside from this, tickets will be on sale up until the Friday night before the game. On Saturday, a student can secure a ticket, and only one, at the student rate, provided he has not bought any before. If he has already bought one, this number cannot be augmented to three, or even two, on the day of the game.
Manager Watkins has made this charge for the especial benefit of those students who are not sure that they could attend the game until the day of the contest. However, it is strongly urged that those who can will secure their tickets as early as possible, and not crowd in at the last minute, causing inconvenience to themselves and to the management as well.
To change the subject, let us Just drop a hint to the rooters. Remember that you are not in the clasB room, and that a little bit of noise Is not out of place. It will be a lasting disgrace to us If we permit Whittier’s small (Continued on page 2)
