W.S.C. STAR; DRURY OUT
Game Called For 2:30; Cougars Set To Avenge Former Defeat.
By BILL ARNOLD
Shades of 1925! Here we are, undefeated, and along come those pesky Washington State College Cougars to annoy our placidity. Just two years ago, at about this stage of the season, “Butch” Meeker pranced into our Coliseum and—but why bring that up?
Tommorrow afternoon at 2:30 Southern California will line up against W. S. C. not the over-confi dent, fumbling eleven of a former occasion, ibut a determined, fighting band of Trojan warriors taking this game with no less concern than they have given to Stanford and California and will give to Notre Dame and Washington.
MEEKER IS STAR There is something annoying about this Meeker person. Every time he comes here he seems to flaunt his diminutive stature in a teasing manner at the Trojans, chuckling up his sleeve every time he makes a gain against them. Tomorrow he will find Southern California in jusc such a
Junior Prom Will Open Social Season
Unique Souvenirs Are Planned For Formal Occasion
Fiesta Room To Be Scene of Prom; Farrell’s Orchestra Will Play._
Unique favors for souvenirs of the Junior class and special music furnished by Jack Farrell and his orchestra will make the junior prom, the opening event on the social calendar of the University, an outstanding success, according to Elwood Harmon, president. The prom will be in The Fiesta Room of The Ambassador Hotel after the Washington State game
tomorrow.
No more suitable location could have been obtained than the Fiesta Room, is the opinion of the prom committee, and it was chosen for this reason from among the many offers submitted to

Coach “Babe” Hollingberry’s team, tied by Idaho last Saturday, held an advantage over Charley Erb’s eleven that all but won the game. They are not a one-man team, but function together as one unit. The attack is deceptive, /and their scoring
threat is ever present wherever they may toe on the field. Howard Jones has declared that, after listening to reports from Jeff Cravath and Leo Calland, his faithful assistants who have followed the Cougars like hawks all season, he feels that his men have suck a slight edge that the breaks may well decide the game in the northerner's favor. Such a thing, 'however disagreeable,, would not be euch a big upset, in other wtrds.

BIDS AT STORE Fifty additional bids have been placed on sale at the students’
store, states Bob Behlow, treasurer of the class. These have been placed at the disposal of the students because of the demands which have come to Mrs. Marie Poetker and which she has been unable to fill heretofore. That these will be purchased by this evening is undoubted, she stated, judging by the requests which she has had this week.
Patrons and patronesses for.the evening who will be guests of the class are Dean and Mrs. Karl T. Waugh and Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford.
The varsity of both Washington State University and Southern California will be guests of honor at the prom. The coaches and managers of each team have also been extended invitations.
PROM COMMITTEE Those on the prom committee who have been responsible for the completion of all plans are: Helen Sau ber and Dave Bryant, favors; Margaret French and Cecil Vigne, decorations; Karmi Wyckoff, publicity; Dante La Franche, posters; Bob Beh low and Muriel Heeb, tickets; Bill Ward and Gene Beatty, orchestra Tom Bryant who worked with Elwood Harmon on the location, while Marjorie Temple, secretary, is responsible for the punch for the evening.

Heads of the commencement com-mitttees. sombreroes, and pictures for the El Rodeo, are the important items in an announcement made today by Harold Kispert. president of the Sen-oir clasB. Of interest, especially to seniors, is the selection of a special committee to begin work of the announcement books for commencement Earl Andreen and Virginia Roediger will have charge of the book this year, and request that any new ideas or policies be turned in to them.
More senior men are urged to buy and wear sombreroes, the distinctive apparel worn only by senior men. Hats and the colored 'bands of the class of 1928 can be obtained. Either Kispert or Eddie Oudermuelen can be seen for additional information on this subject.
According to Kispert, seniors have been delinquent in responding to the call of tbe El Rodeo for pictures. It is very necessary that all seniors should have their pictures taken before the Thanksgiving holidays at the studio in Aeneas Hall. Pictures will not be taken after that date.
Concerning the senior class play, “Adam and Eva” given in Bovard auditorium several weeks ago, Kispert states that the class just about “broke even.” The responsibility of getting money for the class gift and also for clearing up previous debts of the class still remains a mystery- A-P-proximately thirty-six members of the class have paid their dues. It is urged that the delinquent members of the class see Kenneth Faulkner immediately and pay.
The rally committee has applied to the administration of tbe university for an hour rally to be held Tuesday morning of next week to give a send off to the team before it leaves for the Notre Dame game in Chicago, according tc Shields Maxwell, chairman.
If tbe time is granted the committee has one of the most unique programs to offer ever conceived, he states. Full details cannot ‘be given of course, until the administration gives permission for ‘the rtlly to be held.
As a part of this program, Morris Chain has written a skit which, for cleverness and appropriateness, sur passes the first which was presented this year. An idea of the style of the skit is indicated by the fact that it is presented in ten scenes.
Charles Wright, as “Father Time” in tbe skit, will again entertain the students in his characterization.
Hal Grayson’s Trojan Club Orchestra is rehearsing overtime trying to play a musical score which was especially written by a professional composer for this particular rally.
“Last but not least,” continued Maxwell, ' if any student sees a white horse that would be available we wish that they would kindly get in touch with either Bill Henley or Chase Burns on the matter.” He would not reveal the reason for this unusual request.
Further details of the program of this rally—if there will be one grant* [ ed by the administration—will follow in Monday’s Trojan.
Returning to S. C After an sence of years caused by the enlistment of nearly all its members in 1917, Phi Nu Delta fraternity, found ed here In 1902, has accepted the pet ition of Beta Phi Bpsilon to initall the members of that fraternity as its active chapter on the S. C. cambus, according to an announcement made yesterday by Bill Ruymann, president of the Beta Phi house.
GRANTED THIS WEEK NegotlaUons for the move have t>een in progress for some time, it was learned but formal acceptance of the petition was granted only this week. According to President R. B von KieinSmid, tLe matter comes before the meeting of the Inter-fra ternlty Board of Control this evennig at which time Beta Phi Epsilon will request permission to change Its name to Phi Nu Delta. It is considered probable that the request will be granted.
Formal installation ceremonies are scheduledt p take place at the Beta Phi Epsilon lodge, 3516 S. Flower St., on Monday evening of Homecoming Week. The ritual traditions, and the date of organization of Phi Nu Delta will be passed on to the new active chapter at that time. The installation team is to consist of Wil-liam Loud, president of the Phi Nu Delta alumni; Robert Huston vice-president and Casey Wallace secretary.
Having been organized at S. C. on Feb. 10, 1902, Phi Nu Delta was one of the earliest fraternities to be in-continued on Page Two)
Underclass Play Will Be Presented in Bovard This Evening at 8:15.
‘To the Ladies”, the comedy to be presented in Bovard Auditorium this evening, at 8:16, holds within the outcome of its plot, the solution for tbe problem of the promotion of young men in the business world.
I^eonard Beetoe, portrayed by Alfred Hamilton, is in line for promotion in the Kincaid Piano Company. The final deeision rests upon the speech which he is to make at the banquet of the company’s employees. He is the average young business man who knows just all of nothing about speech-making. So he sends for the popular book containing 500 speeches for hours before attending the banquet. He is well prepared, knows his speech and is happily enjoying the banquet. Then his rival, the man who might be promoted to the same place instead of him, gives the same speech at the banquet He cannot repeat it Just what he does is the solution to be found in tbe play.
In addition to Hamilton, the other leads are Loraine Neel, in the part of Elsie Beebe, Averill Chapman as Chester Mullin, the comedy lead, with Mary Anderssen and Thomas Graham 1 as Myrtle and John Kincaid, the character leads.

LAW ACTION SUIT FILED BY COUNSEL
Delta Chi, Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Alpha and Theta Sigma Nu Affected.
By LEON SCHULMAN
Four fraternities will have to move their houses, and others will be in danger, if the action commenced Wednesday and Thursday by the aggrieved property-owners of Zone A is successful.
SIGN PETITION
Accordin gto Earnest C. Carman, attorney for the plaintiffs, twenty prop-erty-owners in the section in question have signed a petition addressed to the City Planning Commission and the City Attorney, asking that the zoning ordinance, be enforced as to the fraternity houses in Zone A, in which only single family dwellings are permitted.
The fraternities affected are Delta Chi, Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Theta Sigma Nu. Though no action has been taken against the fraternities along the
north side of West Twenty-eighth
street from University street to Figueroa, they are included in Zone A and subject to sir* action that may be taken at any future time.
In addition to the petition, R. C. Gillis, one of the property owners, has instituted a civil suit in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County against the Delta Chi fraternity, asking for an injunction to prevent the operation of a fraternity house at 920 West Twenty-eighth street.
ZONE IS DISPUTED
The ordinance in question went into effect as creating this section as Zone A, May 18, 1922. The section thu3 formed extends from Hoover to
University, and from Figueroa to the south side of West Twenty-eighth. Zone A also includes the north side of West Twenty-eighth from University to within about a hundred feet of Figueroa.
According to Professor Burby of tbe S. C. Law School, there is no doubt in the light of recent decisions that the zoning ordinance is constitutional. Furthermore, it was decided in (he April 26, 1927, in tbe case of Pettis vs. Alpha Alpha chapter of Phi Beta Pi, (213 N. W. 836) that a fraternity bouse is not a one family or two family dwelling. The. supreme court of Nebraska said, “Has it come to pass that a company of approximately twenty or thirty unrelated young fraternity men can properly come within the generally accepted meaning of the social unit known as the family? We do not think so.” Tbe Los An-(Continned on Page Two)
