When the Hoover diagonal cut is constructed, the University of Southern California will have a campus that will compare favorably with any other. The plans have the approval of the City Council and of the Traffic Commission, and when the necessary preliminary is completed, actual construction will be started. -—-—The plans include a widening of Hoover from Third street on to West W.S. G.A. Will Change Rules Cabinet Plans Monthly Teas and Social Functions For Campus Women. Three proposed amendment for the constitution, tentative plans for a program to be given in January and definite plans for. a series of monthly teas to be given for campus women and faculty members made up the main business before the W. S. G. A. cabinet meeting Monday afternoon in the Women’s Residence Hall. Tardiness and absences of cabinet members at meetings, a scholarship requirement of presidents for all women’s organizations which are connected, with W. S. G. A. and empowering the cabinet to fill vacancies occurring after th© beginning of the semester in the group are the matters with which the amendments deal. The three amendments will be posted in the Arcade of the Administration Building today at noon and will be published in the Trojan. This is in accordance with the consttu-tional requirement that all amendments be posted prior to voting upon them. Gwen Patterson, vice president of the organization, is making plans for an evening program to be presented early in January. It promises to be one of unique interest for the campus and will probably be of interest to those off-campus. The purpose of the entertainment is to keep up the loan iund which is carried as one of the major activities of the association. The first monthly tea given by the women’s group is to be Wednesday, October 19, in the Women’s Residence Hall. These teas will be very informal in nature and will offer an opportunity for women students to become acquainted with each other ond with women faculty members who will be present. FROSH VOTE ON LEADERS Eight-thirty To Eleven are Hours Set For Class To Elect Officers. ALPHA CHI ALPHA Alpha Chi Alpha will hold an important meeting Thursday at 3 o’clock in Room 214 of the Women’s Residence Hall. Adams. At the intersection of Hoover and West Adams a diagonal will be cut to the intersection of University and Jefferson, and from there will continue on to Figueroa and Exposition Boulevard. At Jefferson and University a circular park will be constructed in the diagonal, and a similar circle will be made at Figueroa and Exposition. The upper circle will cause the removal of the bank and drug store, and may cause the grammar school to be moved as well. The diagonal will cut right through the School of Architecture, necessitating tbe rebuilding of this edifice. However, the Women’s Dormitory and the new church will be included in the triangle formed by Hoover diagonal, University and Exposition Boulevard. This triangle, and the oblong back of it to McClintock will form a new ca.m-pus for the University of Southern California. Practically all of the Universits buildings will be included in this triangle, and it is hoped that the other fraternities will follow the lead of Sigma Chi and move into this new campus. In this way, Southern California will boast a campus, roughly triangular in shape, and which will contain the academic buildings, the fraternity and sorority houses, and such buildings as the Students Union, the Gym, and possibly in the not too far off future, a swimming pool. In the plans for the unification and centralization of the campus, the College of Dentistry has under consideration a project to move the Clinic to a plot of ground near Exposition Park. The College of Commerce also has in mind a new building to house this fast-growing department of the University. A new engineering building is being contemplated, and it may not be so many years in advance, when grads will speak of the “Triangle," and Yale students speak of the “Quad," etc. That which is delaying the Hoover diagonal project is that necessary element, money. The cost is high, and many property-owners are making strenuous protests to the high assessments. Yet obstacles are being overcome, and the project is nearing the point where actual construction will soon begin. Frosh politicians will vote between the hours of eight-thirty and eleven-thirty for the puropse of choosing class officers. The election is to be under the supervision of Fred Pierson. Those who names begin with A and as far as L will cast their ballot in the south hall of the Administration building; those whose name begins with M and on through will vote in the north hall. Before anyone is allowed to vote they must show their identification cards. Brief summary of the candidates up for the office of president is given here for the benefit of the frosh who has not had the chance to meet them.

Reger Reynolds hails from Long Beach Poly, he also was active in school affairs. Lloyd Dewart graduated from U. S. C- Prep where he made a name for himself through the various offices that he held. For vice-president interest centers around Cleo Maher, Ruth Wencl and Betty Lou Miler. Miss Maher graduated from Los Angeles High School. She made a name for herself in the way that she handled the various duties of the offices that she held, chief among which was her social work. Miss Miller entered Southern California from the Prep School. She was vice-president of the senior class and head of many social functions. The candidates for secretary are: Beth Tibbet, Esther Burns, Tom Oudermuelen. For treasurer: Gerald Thornton, Albert Abrams, Ed Clark.

Rushees Given Pins After Wild Week of Hair Tearing Many Co-eds Appear on the Campus This Morning, Proudly Sporting Pledge Pins; Rushing Closes Season of Parties and Teas. Many S. C. co-eds will appear on the campus this morning wearing the pledge pins of the various sororities on the campus. They have come to this end after several days of hectic rushing, sleepless nights, and, finally, lasting decisions. ¥■ During the summer months most of the sororities had teas, luncheons, and SALE OF TICKETS ENDS TODAY FOR BEAR GAME 5. C. Co-eds Blossom With Flowers At Football Games How can anyone tell the difference between an S. C. co-ed and any other co-ed at the big football games? That is what puzzled the members of the Freshman Club of the Y. W. C. A., and so they decided that something should be done about it, and ordered one thousand cardinal and gold flowers to sell to S. C. women. Yesterday during the chapel period in front of Bovard auditorium, some of the Freshmen women, under the leadership of Carroll Wiggs, sold these flowers at thirty-five cents. All women are urged to wear them, especially to the Stanford game. It is rumored that they will be sold on the “Trojan Special” on the way north to the coeds who have not previously obtained them. So now all the women of Troy can be distinguished from women attending other institutions of higher learning. And the Freshman Club has solved this heretofore puzzling problem. Y.W.C.A.

Mr. Porter is a graduate of Bowdoin and of Oxford, is a Rhodes scholar, and has received special appointments of late. Although he has been serving in his present capacity for several years, students at this university have never before had the opportunity of hearing him. Reports on freshman counselling groups will also be read by Don Bailey, and other items of regular “Y” business will be presented. DEPUTATION COMMITTEE All members of the Deputations committee meet Thurs. at noon in the office of the student body president at 12:20 o’clock.

Dinner will be served from 5:30 until 6:00 under the management of Lois Eby, and will be very informal in order that those present may get acquainted. Clare Mae Parsons is the meeting’s chairman and will introduce Dr. Karl S. Knopf who is to give the first of two talks for the Y. W. C. A. women.

Southern California co-eds are urged to take this opportunity of beginning a year of good times by going in for Y. W. C. A. interests. swimming parties, when the new women had a chance to become acquainted with the different houses. When college opened in September, the Pan-Hellenic council issued an entirely new set of rules for rushing. With these rules in mind formal rushing began a week ago Monday and lasted until the formai dinners Friday night. In the course of that week, rushing was carried pn between four and six o’clock in the afternoon and between six and eight in the evening. The afternoon affairs were usually teas either at the houses, at private homes, or at clubs in the city. In the evening dinners were held. Clever Chinese, Bohemian, "circus”, Hallowe’en, and various other motives were used in rushing the prospective sisters. This year the older girls were greatly relieved by the fact that they were not allowed to call for the rushees, and were not responsible for their transporation. This amendment to the new rules made the rushing somewhat easier. Last Thursday between eight and ten in the evening each sorority called by telephone the girls they wanted to become one of their number and asked them to the formal dinner. Friday morning the rushees accepted the house that they wished to pledge. After this dinner until Tuesday afternoon, at the time of pledging, formal truce was carried on. Notices were sent to all girls that received a bid from a sorority via Y. W. C. A. mail boxes. These were to summon the co-eds to Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford’s office where they stated their preference of sororities. The bid from the house that the rushee preferred was sent to her by special delivery letter Monday afternoon. The final hour arrived yesterday, and now many new girls are pledges of Southern California sororities. Be cause scholaship requirements were not quite up to the standard some new girls were barred from joining a house until they meet the requirements. “RED" RALLY IS PLANNED Send-off Rally and Class Meetings are Scheduled For Chapel Periods. A send-off rally for the Stanford game Friday morning, October 14, in the regular rally period and class meetings scheduled for Thursday morning, October 13. are the announcements that issue from the office of the student body president. Tentative plans are under way with the direction of Shields Maxwell, chairman of the rally committee. Yells, songs and a general pepping up of all the students will take place Friday morning when Paul Elmquist or his assistants will take charge of the send-off. This will not cancel or take the place of the evening rally which is scheduled for the same date, according to the announcement from the president. Important business will be discussed in the four class meetings as these are the first of the year for each group. The meetings will be fiftteen minutes in length-, as no time other than the regular chapel period will be allowed by the administration. Just how much will be accomplished depends upon the promptness of the class members and the leadership oi the various presidents. Since success depends, in many cas^s, upon the spirit roused in the students by the class meetings, it is a wonder that the administration would not grant a longer period for the business on hand. In both cases, however, the most will be made of all the time which is contained within the fifteen minutes. Press Club Plans Year That there will be an important special meeting of the Press Club tomorrow noon in the Trojan office is the announcement of Howard Egerton, president. This meeting is called in order to plan the activities of the organization for the year. Committees will be appointed and dates set for future social affairs. The annual banquet is the best known social affair of this group. However, this season’s activities will also be marked by a number of informal affairs at which noted journalists and writers will speak. TROJAN AIDES ARE SELECTED Twelve of the Highest Scorers in Tryouts are Added To the Staff. Results of the tryouts for the Trojan staff are here given by the committee in charge of the stories that were handed in by the fifty aspirants to the positions as reporters.

They are as follows: Lydia Hoffman, Winifred Biegler, Dick Miller, Helen Bohr, Eleanor Maronde, Edith Leggett Cleo Maher Ray Ze-man, Jack McFaden, Harry Borson, La Vine Sellen, Grace Wright and Henry Hodges. Chest Heads Are Selected Officers Appointed for Federal Employees’ Division of the Chest. Robert P. Sheldon ot the U. S. In ternal Revenue service today began his duties as colonel of the Federal employes division of the Los Angeles Community Chest. The recently formed Federal Employes Association of which Postmaster O’Brien is president, has pledged its aid to the Chest in the coming annual appeal, Sheldon said. Attorney George W. Dryer, colonel of Chest division 4, downtown district has appointed as majors to assist him John W. Topley, Coi. Wm. M. Hughes commander of the Volunteers of America, and Rev. B. B. Weatherell, superintendent of the Protes-.ant Welfare Association, he announced. “The obligation to support the Community Chest is more important than paying taxes—which must be paid—for the Chest is the greatest source of spreading influence for the love, joy and gladness of fellow men,” Dryer said today. He expressed hope that the response of the people at this year's appeal would be such as to lift Los Angeles from its present low giving level and establish it among the really generous cities of America. SPELLING CLASS The spelling class will begin next Thursday at 12:20 under the direction of Miss McCorkle. The class will meetin Hoose 206. This is for all students who have an incomplete in the spelling requirements in this subject.

ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR BIG WEEK Representative Student and Alumni Committee Will Meet Jointly. WEEK ENDS DEC. 3 Huge Bonfire of Oiled Ties Will Release Frosh From Hazing. By SAM KLINE Commencing with the arrival of the football team from the Notre Dame game in Chicago, Southern California will begin its biggest and best Homecoming Week in its history. The Homecoming Week will continue until December 3, the day of the football game with Washington State. The plans for Homecoming Week are the result of a meeting of representatives of the students and the alumni. At this meeting committee heads were appointed, among which were Ray Broomfield, head of the Homecoming Parade committee; Everett Miller, the football dinner; Catherine Colwell, Homecoming Dance; Helen Klene, women’s football dinner; and Burdette Henney, who has charge of everything concerning Homecoming, will also have personal charge of the frosh bonfire As soon as the committees begin to function, more definite details will be announced concerning the parade and the social events. The freshmen will be relieved of the necessity of wearing their green “dinks” after the frosh bonfire. In fact, the green hat-wear, emblematic of frosh humbleness, will be burned in the bonfire. As to the bonfire itself, it promises to be the largest and most spectacular in the history of the University and the remembrance of mortal man. The Southern Pacific Railway has promised to furnish three carloads of oiled ties, and Henney declares that the bonfire will be second to none, even if the frosh have to go to Baldwin Hills to collect material. The bonfire three years ago was seventy-six feet high, and more than 500 frosh danced about it in pajamas. That bonfire was supposed to have set an insurmountable record, but Henney states that this bonfire will sur pass all predecessors. Freshmen will not only have to collect wood for the bonfire, but they will also have to* guard the materials from theft by the upperclassmen. The frosh bonfire and giant pajamerino will take place December 2, on the second day of Homecoming. There will be an important meeting of Pi Sigma, Wednesday noon at 12:15 in Room 251. All members must be present. SENIOR DIPLOMA CARDS Seniors who expect to graduate in February or June should fill out diploma cards in the Registrar’s Office on or before October 15 if they have not already done so. THERON CLARK. STAFF IS BEING CHOSEN FOR WAMPUS BY HALE As the result of the announcement appearing in yesterday’s Trojan to the effect that the entire staff of the Wampus had been fired by Bryant Hale, some fifty applicants have put in their names as desiring to try out for the staff is the announcement of the editor. Not only has there been a great desire by students to get on the staff but the old members who were “fired” have been around asking forgiveness for neglecting to support their editor as they should and they all promise to get on the job if they are taken back, which seems reasonable according to the latest rumors go'.ng the rounds. Everyone, no matter whether they have had experience or not are urged-to turn in their names and to try out for the staff as there are several positions still open. Bryant Hale, the editor of the Cat, announces that deadline for the next Wampus is October 10 and that if those who are on the staff do not deaire to go through another shake up that they MUST get their copy in on time. The first issue of the Wampus will appear on the campus next week and Is regarded as better than ever.

With these rules in mind formal rushing began a week ago Monday and lasted until the formai dinners Friday night. In the course of that week, rushing was carried pn between four and six o’clock in the afternoon and between six and eight in the evening. The afternoon affairs were usually teas either at the houses, at private homes, or at clubs in the city. In the evening dinners were held. Clever Chinese, Bohemian, "circus”, Hallowe’en, and various other motives were used in rushing the prospective sisters. This year the older girls were greatly relieved by the fact that they were not allowed to call for the rushees, and were not responsible for their transporation. This amendment to the new rules made the rushing somewhat easier. Last Thursday between eight and ten in the evening each sorority called by telephone the girls they wanted to become one of their number and asked them to the formal dinner. Friday morning the rushees accepted the house that they wished to pledge. After this dinner until Tuesday afternoon, at the time of pledging, formal truce was carried on. Notices were sent to all girls that received a bid from a sorority via Y. W. C. A. mail boxes. These were to summon the co-eds to Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford’s office where they stated their preference of sororities. The bid from the house that the rushee preferred was sent to her by special delivery letter Monday afternoon. The final hour arrived yesterday, and now many new girls are pledges of Southern California sororities. Be cause scholaship requirements were not quite up to the standard some new girls were barred from joining a house until they meet the requirements. “RED" RALLY IS PLANNED Send-off Rally and Class Meetings are Scheduled For Chapel Periods. A send-off rally for the Stanford game Friday morning, October 14, in the regular rally period and class meetings scheduled for Thursday morning, October 13. are the announcements that issue from the office of the student body president. Tentative plans are under way with the direction of Shields Maxwell, chairman of the rally committee. Yells, songs and a general pepping up of all the students will take place Friday morning when Paul Elmquist or his assistants will take charge of the send-off. This will not cancel or take the place of the evening rally which is scheduled for the same date, according to the announcement from the president. Important business will be discussed in the four class meetings as these are the first of the year for each group. The meetings will be fiftteen minutes in length-, as no time other than the regular chapel period will be allowed by the administration. Just how much will be accomplished depends upon the promptness of the class members and the leadership oi the various presidents. Since success depends, in many cas^s, upon the spirit roused in the students by the class meetings, it is a wonder that the administration would not grant a longer period for the business on hand. In both cases, however, the most will be made of all the time which is contained within the fifteen minutes. Press Club Plans Year That there will be an important special meeting of the Press Club tomorrow noon in the Trojan office is the announcement of Howard Egerton, president. This meeting is called in order to plan the activities of the organization for the year. Committees will be appointed and dates set for future social affairs. The annual banquet is the best known social affair of this group. However, this season’s activities will also be marked by a number of informal affairs at which noted journalists and writers will speak.

ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR BIG WEEK Representative Student and Alumni Committee Will Meet Jointly. WEEK ENDS DEC. 3 Huge Bonfire of Oiled Ties Will Release Frosh From Hazing. By SAM KLINE Commencing with the arrival of the football team from the Notre Dame game in Chicago, Southern California will begin its biggest and best Homecoming Week in its history. The Homecoming Week will continue until December 3, the day of the football game with Washington State. The plans for Homecoming Week are the result of a meeting of representatives of the students and the alumni. At this meeting committee heads were appointed, among which were Ray Broomfield, head of the Homecoming Parade committee; Everett Miller, the football dinner; Catherine Colwell, Homecoming Dance; Helen Klene, women’s football dinner; and Burdette Henney, who has charge of everything concerning Homecoming, will also have personal charge of the frosh bonfire As soon as the committees begin to function, more definite details will be announced concerning the parade and the social events. The freshmen will be relieved of the necessity of wearing their green “dinks” after the frosh bonfire. In fact, the green hat-wear, emblematic of frosh humbleness, will be burned in the bonfire. As to the bonfire itself, it promises to be the largest and most spectacular in the history of the University and the remembrance of mortal man. The Southern Pacific Railway has promised to furnish three carloads of oiled ties, and Henney declares that the bonfire will be second to none, even if the frosh have to go to Baldwin Hills to collect material. The bonfire three years ago was seventy-six feet high, and more than 500 frosh danced about it in pajamas. That bonfire was supposed to have set an insurmountable record, but Henney states that this bonfire will sur pass all predecessors. Freshmen will not only have to collect wood for the bonfire, but they will also have to* guard the materials from theft by the upperclassmen. The frosh bonfire and giant pajamerino will take place December 2, on the second day of Homecoming. There will be an important meeting of Pi Sigma, Wednesday noon at 12:15 in Room 251. All members must be present.

STAFF IS BEING CHOSEN FOR WAMPUS BY HALE As the result of the announcement appearing in yesterday’s Trojan to the effect that the entire staff of the Wampus had been fired by Bryant Hale, some fifty applicants have put in their names as desiring to try out for the staff is the announcement of the editor. Not only has there been a great desire by students to get on the staff but the old members who were “fired” have been around asking forgiveness for neglecting to support their editor as they should and they all promise to get on the job if they are taken back, which seems reasonable according to the latest rumors go'.ng the rounds. Everyone, no matter whether they have had experience or not are urged-to turn in their names and to try out for the staff as there are several positions still open. Bryant Hale, the editor of the Cat, announces that deadline for the next Wampus is October 10 and that if those who are on the staff do not deaire to go through another shake up that they MUST get their copy in on time. The first issue of the Wampus will appear on the campus next week and Is regarded as better than ever. |
