GLEE CLUB WILL HOLD TRYOUTS SEPTEMBER 27
Appoint Pierson Committee Head On S.C. Elections
All Colleges To Be Represented in New Ruling.
Fred Pierson is appointed chairman of the elections committee for this year, according to word from the office of the student body president. This committee, which will have representatives from each college and class, will supervise all elections and will insure the regularity of the voting and polls.
Representatives from the colleges of Liberal Arts, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Commerce and Music and from each of the four classes will be officials on the committee. These representatives will supervise all student elections under the direction of the chairman.
To date, no definite appointments have been announced as to who these representatives will be, but indications are that they will be students who are more or less familiar with the process in general. They will have the authority to enforce all election rules and to inflict penalties for infringement of them.
Pierson knows the rules and steps in the process of student elections and will see that they are enforced this year and that all elections are officially conducted.
He gained invaluable experience last year when he worked as one of the important officials under the direction of James Mussatti, when the latter was director of student elections at that time. When the polls were opened last year and the votes -were counted, Mussatti so had organized the process that no inefficiency or unofficial business were possible.
These rules Pierson promises to incorporate into the supervision of all college student body elections and all class elections this year. They will prevent any ballot-stuffing, all electioneering within a definite distance from the polls and will provide for efficient counting of the ballots for the returns.

Wampus To Walk Soon
Many New Features To Be Added to Pages of Humor Magazine.
BY VIRGIL PINKLEY
Combining a magazine of humor, short stories and feature articles into a publication of forty-eight pages, the Southern California Wampus will make its initial appearance within the next few days under the editorship of Bryant Hale.
While the first number of the Wampus will not be heralded with any great blare of music or the like, it is believed that the new Wampus will be a distinct addition to the campus of Troy. In the past the Wampus has contained only humor and cartoons. In the new magazine twenty-eight pages will be devoted to cartoons and jokes.
According to Bryant Hale, editor, the coming issue will be bound by a cover designe which has been drawn by Gertrude Zipser. Most of the art staff of last year are back again, and will have numbers appearing in the Wampus. Hale stated this morning, that a large number of outside contributions have been received and will also run with the ones drawn by members of the staff.
The dominant idea behind enlarging the Wampus, as has been stated by the publications department, is to make the monthly magazine representative of the literary ability of members of the student body. In former years the publication has contained about twenty-eight pages.
Short stories of the type that are found in popular magazines of today (Continued on Page Two)
Frosh Who Ignore Rules Set Down By Knights and A mazons, Will Be Punished
Digressions of Freshmen To Be Dealt With in Student Court; Failure To Wear “Dink” Leads List of Offenses.

Freshman rules and traditions*leader.
are being ignored by many first-year men and women, according to leaders of both the Trojan Knights and Amazons, and penalties will be meted out to offenders if further digressions are reported. This is the warning that comes from Eddie Oudermeulen, president of the Knights, and Betty von KieinSmid, Amazon
FROSH BEWAILS TREATMENT BY “CRUEL” SOPHS
The press is powerful. The up-per-classmen know this and are using It as an agent in the creation of a propaganda against the Frosh.
I am a frshman. And as a self-appointed representative of the freshmen, I feel that we too should utilize the press. For certainly, unless we say something in self defense, we shall soon find ourselves “social outcasts” and objects of general contempt.
The class of ’31 began its career last Monday morning. The Sophomores, themselves, would not deny that we’re an “exceptional bunch” of Frosh.
But everything was so new to us that we were a little bewildered. Taking advantage of our bewilderment the Knights and Squires treated us disgracefully. They exposed us to pneumonia. They kept us from Chapel. And they stole our garters.
How much better it would have been if they had taken us under their wings and explained the complexities of college life.
Since we are obedient they continue in their tyranny. Take this our warning, O Knights! We shall not aways shine your shoes and yodel from the balcony. Even now we are organizing. Soon we shall be in rank.
Then, indeed, we shal recapture our garters and decorate your physiognomies.
Have you read the Trojan Ads?
Failure to wear the green "dink” leads the list of offenses, the college law-enforcement officers say. Women who are at Southern California for the first time are leaving off their frosh arm bands, according to word from the Amazons.
If Freshmen are caught breaking the paramount rules laid down by traditional bodies on the campus action will be taken, the latest edict states. Forms of punishment have not yet been decided upon, but the committee handling this phase of the Knight and Amazon activities states that penalties will be more severe than in past years.
“First-year men here seem to think,” Oudermeulen said, “that because they received a little ‘ribbing’ on Monday of this week that it’s all over. In fact, real tradition enforcing has not been started. The Knights expect all the Frosh to wear a ‘dink’ and keep on wearing one until further notice.
“Some of the offenders are under the impression that because they have been pledged to a fraternity they wil/ be protected from punishment by members of the Trojan Knights in their particular organization. This is a perverted idea and the sooner they forget it the better off they will be. Also pulling this ‘gag’ of being a transfer from another university will not get by any longer. All the offenders will be investigated and no excuses accepted. This is final.”
Miss von KieinSmid is directing the Amazons to keep a closer watch on Frosh women neglecting to wear arm bands. A meeting of the Amazons is scheduled and names of offenders will probably be brought up at that time, members of the organization state. Final decision on forms of punishment will also be made. Theme writing, used as a penalty for the women last year, may be made more drastic for present offenders, it is hinted.
“We do not want to act as police over the Frosh women,” Betty Budd, Amazon member stated, “but we certainly will call any girls to time who continue to ignore our warnings. This wearing oJ an arm band is a tradition and every new girl should comply in a spirit of co-operation. Otherwise we will take disciplinary action.”

Frosh Will Meet Pasadena Junior College Before Varsity Game.
By BILL HARVEY
A line of black and gold will be hurled against a line of cardinal and gold at the Coliseum tomorrow when Coach Albert Exendine of Occidental throws his cageful of clawing Tigers into battle with a handful of Trojan warriors. The varsity game is scheduled to get under way at two-thirty. However, for the benefit of the early comers Aubrey Devine’s crack crew o? peagreeners will take on the Pasadena Junior College team, champions of the Junior College League.
FIRST BIG LEAGUE GAME The Oxy-Trojan clash will be the first big league game played in Southern California and promises to be an afternoon full of thrills and discoveries. There will be the thrill of seeing once again two teams fighting for football supremacy and of hearing the referee’s whistle. There will be the discovering of men who will do much in future games to send two strong teams on their way to victory in their respective leagues.
Exendine’s hopefuls held the “Thundering Herd” to a 28 to 6 score last year. This year they claim an even greater team to throw against the Trojans. They are heavier and faster than ever and the only place they lost men that are hard to replace are on the wings. Teachout and Godett, their ends of last year will be hard to fll/, but in DeHoag and Cuthbert, one a made over tackle and- the other an under-study from last season's squad. Exendine has two good men. They both are heavy men and have had experience.
With the exception of Ed Beebe at guard, the Tiger line is practically the same as was used in the Trojan game last year. Beebe is a sophomore and was captain of the Eagle Rock frosh last year. He is a big blonde and has the reputation of being a fighting fool. Ellsworth and Hitch at tackles, Nash pairing off with Beebe and Klein at center will probably complete their line. Klein was formerly a fullback but was shifted because of his weight and passing ability.
GREAT OXY BACKFIELD In Brobst, Schweizer, Rozelle and Fusco, the Occidental fans have the right to claim one of the greatest back-fields in their football history. Brobst will probably get the call at quarter. He directed the offense of the Tigers last year and proved himself invaluable. Rozelle and Schweizer are a pair of pretty halfbacks who should show up to advantage for the visitors.
