NEW COMMITTEES TO AID HENLEY IN STUDENT WORK
Harvey Heads Publicity-Promotion Grgup; Harmon Named Captain of Flying Squadron For Coming Year; Handle New Student Problems.
The committee of publicity and promotion and the flying squadron committee are two of the important standing student body committees created by William Henley for this year. The student body president has mapped out important work for each group.
The first of these, the publicity and*-—
promotion committee, will be compris-1	f

ed of two parts both under the direction of Bill Harvey. The publicity group will have for its purpose the reporting of the right kind of publicity to the metropolitan newspapers of Los Angeles concerning student events of Southern California. Downtown newspapers will have as their official campus reporters students in the university who will write stories giving authentic news on campus events. This will afford beneficial service both to the newspapers and to the university in that real Dews will be given to them instead of the valueless events which were featured last year, and to the university in that the news reported will be of real interest and will reflect the real purpose and interests of the institution.
Terrel de Lapp, representing the Times; Mat Barr, representing the Evening Herald and Arnold writing for the Associated Press, will compose the personnel of the publicity committee for student affairs.
Harvey, chairman of the committee, has had several years in publicity experience including service on the Downey “Live Wire” and has been connected with several commercial newspapers. He represents the Los Angeles Examiner on the campus as well as being chairman of both branches of the committee.
“Much is expected of this committee,” said William Henley, in speaking of the work outlined for it. “It has the recommendation of the university administration and, if our plans succeed, it will be of real service to the university.”
The second part of this committeeo, the promotion committee, will also be under the direction of Bill Harvey. The purpose of this committee will be to aid in the organization of the various events scheduled in the social calendar and to help insure the success of the events. Karmi Wyckoff has been appointed as the head of this committee, as the assistant of Bill Harvey; other assistants will be appointed within the next fewT days.
‘The Flying Squadron, captained by Elwood Harmon, consists of a group of ten or fifteen of the best student speakers in the university,” continued the student body president. “Besides being a picked committee, it will establish a personal contact between the student government, e.g., the executive committee, and various organizations and living groups of the campus. The members of this committee will be ready and capable of canvasing all the groups of the campus on two hours notice. In this canvasing Uiey will make a personal plea for co-operation with rallies or events of all-university nature. They will folow up Trojan announcements by personaly appearing before fraternities and sororities and dormatories.”
Elwood Harmon, captain of the flying squadron, is a prominent S.
C. debator, having been in numerous debates last year; he was a Bowen cup winner when he was a freshman, winning first place in the contest. At the present time he is president of the junior class and chairman of one of the freshmen counsellor groups.
“The success of these two committees depend upon the cooperaUon of the student organizations and the willingness on their part to do their part in making them a success," Henley said.
Formal Rushing Starts Sept. 26 For Campus Sororities, Says President.
At the first meeting of the Faiv hellenic Association, held Mondaj noon, in room 206, rules for this se mester’s rushing were drawn up and adopted.
According to Josephine Campbell, President of the Panhellenics, rushing rules will have to be obeyed to the letter this year as the penalty to offending houses will be severe. The rules as adopted Monday are as follow’s :
1.	There will be no dates this week, but sorority girls may talk to rushees on the campus.
2.	Formal rushing will beg+n on Monday, September 26 .and will conclude on Friday, September 30, during which time affairs may be given from 4:00 p.m. to 5:45 p.m., and from 6:15 to 8:00 o’clock in the evening.
3.	The last date, which will be Friday, September 30th, will be from 4:00 to 5:45 in the afternoon as usual, but in the evening from 6:15 to 10:00, which will be the formal preference dinner. This is the only affair at which rushees may be called for and taken home. Pledging will take place on the following Tuesday.
“I would like to urge,” says Miss Campbell, “that all sororities be particularly careful to abide by rules in rushing this semester, as violations will not be tolerated. There will be copies of the rules available to all girls in the office of the Dean of Women Monday so that ignorance will be no excuse.”
The function of Panhellenic, which is an organizatf!fti made up of the rush captain and an undergraduate member of each sorority on the campus, is to create inter-sorority friendship, regulate rushing and uphold university traditions on this campus. There are three offices which are held in turn by the representatives of each sorority and at present these officers are: Josephine Campbell, Kappa Delta, President; Helen Hill, Pi Phi, Vice President and Ethel Moore, Tri Delt, secretary and Treasurer.
Panhellenic work is not limited to social regulation, for through the Loan Fund of this organizaUon, which amounts to one thousand three hundred and fifty dollars, financial aid is offered to deserving girls who have attended the University one semester. A large amount of this fund is now out on loans to girls who are financially unable to complete their education otherwise.

1INDBERGH” IS THEME OF FIRST CHAPEL ADDRESS
Dr. von KieinSmid Also Uses Slogan of “Carry On” as Motto.
“Carry On” were the words given to the Trojan student body by President R. B. von KieinSmid as a motto for the future, in his opening address of the year in chapel yesterday at which he introduced new members of the faculty. Two vocal soloists from :he College of Music furnished the program.
Apropos to the occasion, Dr. von KieinSmid used Colonel Charles Lindbergh as the ideal of the world, mentally, morally and physically. He stressed the value of all the admirable traits by wiiich the aviation ace is, known, and made vivid comparisons of the life and valor of Lindbergh and that of the college student .
The theme thought of the address was the idea that the spirit manifested by Lindbergh as well as by the heroes of past wars should be the inspiration of the student in his university contacts and life. Dr. von KieinSmid graphically illustrated his last words in the face of death on the battlefield were “£arry on”.
300 ENROLLED IN LAW SCHOOL
f
Registration Exceeds All Previous Records of S. C. Legal Institution.
With Dean Justin Miller guiding its destiny, the Southern California Law School labored through its first day of classes yesterday with an enrollment of over three hundred students.
According to the re-c:.»trar of the Law School, Glenn Whitney, this year’s registration exceeds all previous records of the institution. W<th the largest freshman class in the history of the school, the new Dean looks forward to this, its twenty-fourth year as the biggest and best year of the law college. Among the new professors in the Law School are included the names of Douglas Maggs, formerly of the University of California at Berkeley, and Harry Walsh, and Dean O. P. Cock-erill of the University of North Dakota Law School.
Dean Mockerill comes to the University of Southern California as visiting professor for this year. He first prasticed law in Columbus, Ohio, and was later professor of law at the University of Washington, University of Idaho, and dean of the University of North Dakota Law School since 1923.

Student Tickets Sell Fast, Says Manager Wilson
Approximately 3500 Said Sold To Undergraduates and Alumni.
All men wishing to act as gasmen and guards for Coliseum football games this fall are requested to see Arnold Eddy in the temporary quarters of the Associated Students building, opposite the Science building.
REGISTRATION SPEEDS AS NEW SYSTEM USED
Students Scored by Theron Clark, Registrar, For Failure To Compile Programs Correctly as Changes Swamp Office.
1 hrough the efficiency of Theron Clark, registrar of the University, and his department, registration this semester was handled more easily than at any previous time, according to the registration committee. Lines were fewer in number than before, and all were
kept moving at top speed.	-¥■-
The return to a form book containing all of the necessary cards was found to be much more effective than the use of the long single card idea, which had been tried out at Summer Session. The registrar’s office claims the book method to be much more simple and efficient, and has determined to adopt this for all future use.
According to Clark, registration could be greatly speeded up if the students would rely more on themselves. “A tendency to demand that the advisors do all the work, instead of merely supervising the creation of a program, caused a serious delay, in some cases, which, I believe ,could be elinm-inated,” Clark said. “If the students would arrange their own programs, and present them for approval, instead of working out an entire schedule of classes under the eye of the advisor, the registration processes would be considerably shortened.”
Some mixups were occasioned by students who failed to read and properly follow the directions given out in the printed folder which accompanied each bit of registration. This, too, could be eliminated, Clark said, if the students would be more careful in following out the directions given, and a noticeable lack of confusion would result.
Proposed program changes are swamping the registrar’s office now, according to Clark, and a more careful arrangement of the program in the beginning would eliminate this needless waste of time. An effort is being made to compile a list of the honor students of last semester but this is impossible while the program changes are being made.
“More co-operation by the students would enable the registration office to put through a speedier program, and also permit a more careful check on the student’s entire scholastic career,” Clark said. “If any students intend to drop courses, they must notify the office immediately, to prevent any unnecessary work, and to aid the student on his return to school.”
4TH CHEST APPEAL TO START OCT. 1
Canvassing of Hotel and Restaurant Men Already Begun in Preparation.
