The Community Chest appeal on the S. C. campus will close Thursday, it was revealed yesterday by Bill Ruymann, chairman of the campus Chest committee.
Solicitors will be stationed in booths on the administration building: arcade throughout the week to receive contributions for the Chest, according to Ruymann. This will be the final opportunity for S. C. students to alcT in putting over the Community Chest appeal on the S. C. campus. Twelve hundred -SdtTars have been given by the students so far, and it is hoped Tt) double this contribution by the end of the week. Campus workers are r> doubling their efforts in the attempt to make the total gift from this university to the Community Chest pass the twenty-five hundred dollar mark.

The S. C. quota was arrived at on the basis of an average contribution of a dollar per student. However, individual contributions of as much as fifty dollars have been received and are included in the total already credited to the university, indicating that a few have given more than th%7r share, both as workers and as contributors. while the majority have not contributed at all.
Under the direction of Dorothy Smith, seven teams of S. C. studel>s are serving the Community Chest as canvassers in districts close to the university. All team captains are ordered to report this noon to Hoose 305 for a conference.

S. C. IS FAST EXPANDING
MORE THAN “A BUILDING A YEAR” IS ADDED
Far surpassing their present aim of “a building a year,” S. C. is at present engaged in an expansion program to alleviate the crowded conditions now existing in the university, and to prepare for the future growth which, from all indications, is safely prophesied The new Student Union building, the Bridge Hall and the proposed addition to the Pharmacy building are the immediate centers of attention, but several plans are being formulated for other necessary structures.
Due to the delay in the deliveries of the terra cotta, the stone pieces for the front of the main entrance, the exact date for the completion of the Student Union building cannot be set, but it is expected that the offices will be completed in time to permit moving in during the Christmas holidays. The Student Store and fountain will be finished next and the completion of the social hall is predicted for the early part of January at the outside.
Construction of the new Bridge Hall, located next to the Law building, js progressing at a high rate of speed. Excavation began
Monday, October 24, and finished the following Saturday during the Cal-S. C. game. The actual beginning of work on the foundation was delayed because of rain, until Tuesday, November 1. If the rains do not delay the work much, the hall is expected to be entirely completed by March 15, when classes in the many “annexes” will be moved in.
The next construction in line is the proposed Science building, which is to be a continuance of the old Pharmacy building. The new construction will consist of a central body joined to the Pharmacy building which is to form one wing, and another wing on the north side of the main structure. The entire edifice is to be known as the Science building and is to house all classes in science, including those science classes which are now in Old College building.
Inasmuch as the plans have not been definitely passed on by the committee, the date of construction and of probable completion cannot be set, but is safety said to be in the near future.

FRESHMEN HAZING ABOLISHMENT IS DEBATE SUBJECT
Stopping of Razzing Frosh by Student Council Arouses Ire of U. C. L. A. Students.
U.C.L.A., IjOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 8. (P.I.P.)—Since the abolishment of hazing by action of the Associated Students’ Council last semester, the traditional occupation of second-year men has .come in for quite a lot of comment. Discussing in favor of the re-establishment of hazing is reaching a climax, and its future will be decided soon once and for all.
Student reflection on the mooted question has been freely expressed in grins and growls, the open forum column of the California Daily Bruin. Seniors and juniors express the hope that the tradition will be revived; sophomores and freshmen, queerly enough, both want its renewal.
Four classes of the university will have a chance to argue the pros and cons of the situation sometime during November, the annual inter-class debate taking plaoe at this time with the chosen subject “Resolved: That hazing should be re-established at U.C.
L. A.”

The Women’s Annual Hi-Jinx, that one great event of the University year which is limited exclusively to the co-eds of the campus, is to be held under the sponsorship of the Y. W. C. A. this evening- at 7:30 in Touchstone Theater, where skits will be presented by the various organizations, the entire affair ending in a dance in the women’s gymnasium.
Every co-ed, whether in a skit or not, is expected to be in costume.
A prize for the most original costume will be presented at the dance in the gymnasium. At this time the prizes for the best skits will also be presented.
The music for the dancing will be by a campus orchestra under the leadership of Harold Grayson.
The skits in the order of their appearance are as follows: “Freshman’s Impressions,” Alpha Delta Pi; ‘Some Words with a Dummy,” Beta Sigma Omicron; “Three Forty Eight,” Alpha Gamma Delta; “Blue Book Blues," Alpha Chi Omega; “Gene Dennis,” lota Sigma Theta; “The Half-Wheel,” Delta Psi Kappa; “Remembering,” Delta Zeta; “Magazine Idea,” Delta Gamma; “Pigskin Review,” Freshman Club; “Me and My Shadow,” Clionian; “A Chapter in History,” Kappa Delta; “Chinese Laundry,” Kappa Alpha Theta; “Family Portrait,” Phi Mu; “The Little Red School House,” Delta Delta Delta; “The Mortal Combat” Zeta Tau Alpha; “Doll Shoppe,” Women’s Residence Hall; Spirit of Troy,” Pi Beta Phi.
This Is the first time that there has been a process of elimination of the skits, by which all weakness and overlapping has been done away with.
GREAT COMPETITION
Consequently, there is expected to be great competition for the prizes. The judges consisting of Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford; Mrs. Fink, of the School of Speech, Miss Clara Miller; Mrs. Robert Pox, of the Advisory Board of the Y. W. C. A.; and Miss Stephenson, of the Physical Education Department, will judge on originality, ability to work together, costume and props, suitability, and excellence of presentation. First prize will be a handsome silver cup; second prize will be bronze book ends with the university seal on them.
Lucile Taylor will be the announcer. It is rumored that she will appear in rompers. Other co-eds have hinted that her costume will be tame compared with theirs, however. All in all, it cannot be doubted that the college girls will make the most of this great “undated’ event, for it is stressed by the committee in charge that boys will absolutely not be admitted.
This commitee which has been busy on the Hi-Jinx for many weeks and which has charge of all affairs tonight consists of: Betty Bruce, chairman; Dorothy Smith, tryouts, assisted by lone Cowan; Roberta McPherrin, properties; Jessica Heber, advertising; Helen Campbell, seating and correspondence ; Audrey Elliott, refreshments; Erie Shepherd, entertainment. For any last minute arrangements, see these people today.
“As a last word on Hi-Jinx,” says Betty Bruce, “I would like to mention the food and the programs. The first is in the nature of a surprise. No one will know what this novel delicacy is to be until it is served at the dance in the gym. The programs are very original, printed on blue paper and of novel form and text.”
Smith And Behrendt Chosen By Committee as Condidates For Rhodes Scholarships

Inter-fratemity Smoker November 5 Promises To Be Popular Among Men.
In accordance with the edict of the administration last spring, the majority of the fraternities have made arrangements for house mothers. There are now eighteen fraternities that have housemothers, while eleven have not. The eleven who do not have housemothers, are making arrangements to have them in the near future.
Dean Waugh, general fraternity adviser, in a letter, June 1, delivered the message of the administration to ite effect that every fraternity should have a housemother in the house. Later it decided that it would be all right if the housemother did not live in the house, but lived near enough to the house to perform her duties there.
Again on September 30, DAn Waugh addressed another tetter to the fraternities in which he

Southern California’s newest publication, the S. C. Law Review, will make its appearance either tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning. This announcement has just been made, but the actual time of the appearance depends upon the speed of the printer in getting out the first copies.

SORORITY WOMEN LOOK FORWARD TO IKON CONTESTS
Interclass Play Now On; Practice Will Begin Soon.
With the inter-class basketball series now being played off, sorority girls are turning their eyes toward the casaba courts in anticipation or the annual inter-sorority basket ball tournament. Though the basket ball games for the Greek letter girls will not begin until the end of the interclass series, practices are now in order and many of the various houses have already turned out. Sorority teams may have any of the courts oh Tuesday and Thursday, and on Monday and Wednesday the outside courts are open. Courts should be signed for previous to the practice hours which are from four to six. All girls to be eligible to play in the inter-sor-ority games must have three practices at least, be carrying twelVe hours of work and maintaining a C average.

attracted much attention in the past, and have gained enviable reputations for their analyses of cases.
Any student in the Law School who has not yet turned in his subscription to the Review is expected to do so at once in order to insure receipt of the first number. A special student rate of $2.50 per year has been made by the faculty, and under this it is expected that the student body will give complete support to the new publication.
That the Notre Dame game scheduled for November 25 at Chicago is a sell-out is the announcement from the Students’ Store. 1800 ducats have been disposed of by the student ticket office, and there is a demand for more than are available.
A block of 1700 tickets were sent to Southern California upon the request of this institution by the Notre Dame officials. These were located upon the 20 yard line, and were consequently immediately returned. There is a possibility that the eastern institution will make up this deficit, according to Gwynn Wilson, graduate manager.
Special train arrangements are not possible because of the lack of cooperation with the railroad lines in the east. The Southern Pacific made an effort to complete arrangements for a Trojan Special but were unable to complete negotiations. Harry Kinch of the S. P. has stated that he will gladly assist anyone in plans for the trip if they desire to make the trip.

NEWLY WEDS FEATURED
‘TO THE LADIES” PORTRAYS MARRIED LIFE
Lorain Neel and Alfred Hamilton, as Leonard and Elsie Beebe, the bride and groom who are “up to their necks in debt” during the first six months of their married life, are the major leads in “To the Ladies,” the comedy to be produced on November 18 in Bovard Auditorium.
Mary Anderson and Thomas Gra-hom, as Myrtle and John Kincaid, respectively, are the minor leads.
Leonard Beebe is that particular American employee, of which there are ten million duplicates, who is just a mere bump on a cog wheel of a large corporation. And he tries to move his bump up.
John Kincaid, president of this corporation, Is the kind of business man whom Europeans recognize as “American”—typical. He is the kind who belongs to all the business men’s clubs from local groups through the national ones, such as the Kiwanis and Rotary.
The two wives are—just that. Elsie Beebe is the sweet wife of the young business man who attempts to aid him in his trials at progress. Only in this play she does succeed.
Myrtle Kincaid has heard dear John’s jokes so many times that they
are not even funny to her any more. She knows them so well, in fact, that she prevents John from spoiling a banquet after-dinner speech by stopping him just in time.
No information is forthcoming in regard to the individual progress of these four leads, as the director refuses to make any statement to that effect. Hence the campus at large and the friends of these four leads are left in the dark as far as their work is considered.
In a review of the play, according to the university play producer, the parts are excellently suited to the collegiate type of cast member, and, with other things even, their success of the interpretation is undoubted.
Stanley Ewens, play production manager, is taking complete charge of the production end of the play. His stafT is working at the present time on euectrical, property and scenical problems.
Ray MacDonald, university play producer, is acting in the capacity of general supervisor and advisor to the director.
Tickets for the production will be placed on sa’e Monday of next week at the associated students store under tbe care of Mrs. Marie Poetker.
