C.	football this year such a success.
Forty-six football players and nine coaches have received invitations to the affair.
Following the dinner the entire Rose Bowl football game, taken by Warner P others on the Vitaphoue, will bf s lown. This will give the men who played in the game an opportunity to witness their own performance.
Correcting a mistaken idea apparently held by the majority of the social fraternities of the university, Les Hatch, business manager of the El Rodeo today made clear the policy of the year book stafT regarding the free distribution of albums to certain of these organizations.
While the last date on which payment for space may be made has been set for January 10, only those groups who had the full amount paid by January 1 will receive free albums. The time for payment was originally set for December 13, but in order to give more organizations opportunity to receive a free album, it was changed to the flrst of the year.
Social fraternities and sororities are, also reminded that complete payment must be mttde by January 10 or the customary ten per cent will be added to the price.
Because w'ork on professional and honorary fraternities has been delayed because of questions regarding eligibility, these organizations will be allowed until February 1 to complete payment.
Benefits Of N. S. F. A. Membership Indicated By Leo Adams At Council Meeting.
Continued membership of the Associated Students of the University of Southern California in the National Students’ Federation of America was assured at the legislative council meeting Tuesday night when the sum of $100 was voted to be paid as the annual dues.
The amount is greater by $50 than that paid last year, the difference coming as a result of a revisal of membership rates decided upon at the recent national convention held at Stanford university.
Leo Adams, A. S. V. S. C. president, who represented Troy at the convention, made a report of the procedures and commended the results of the organization as beneficial to its member student bodies. Randolph Ritchey, debate manager, pointed out its specific aid to South ern California in* mrranging for an S. C. member of a Pacific Coast collegiate debating team to tour England.
Other business of the legislative council at the Tuesday meeting in eluded the acceptance of a report of the Community Chest committee presented by Glenn Johnson, chairman. He indicated that the unusual sum of $1111.11 had been collected by the Chest group. Reports w’ere also presented by Sam Newman, chairman of the rally committee; Lorraine Young, chairman of the university relations committee; Hyrum White, chairman of the flying squadron; and Fred Pierson, chairman of the organizations committee.

Dean Justin Miller Returns From East
Absent since the Christmas recess, Dean Justin Miller of the Southern California law school, returned Los Angeles yesterday. He has been on an extended trip in the southern and eastern parts of the United States.
In New Orleans he attended the convention of the American Associa tion of Law schools held December 27, 28, and 30. He presented his re port as chairman of the survey on crime and the administration of criminal justice to the convention.
On January 2 at New York he attended a joint meeting of the com-mitees of the American Bar associ ation, the American Law Institute, and tbe Association of American Law schools. The problems of research projects in the fleld of crime and the administration of criminal justice were discussed.
First all-university dig of the year will be held next Monday, January 13, from 7:30 to 9 o’clock, according to Dorothie Smith, head of the social committee of the A. S. U. S. C. Though there wras a misunderstanding about getting the date accepted by the ad ministration for the affair last week, the date for next Monday has been accepted and there is no doubt about the date this time.
Men are to throw' the traditional two-bit pieces into the wash tub, and as usual, the women will be allowed to enter free.
Tom Ritchie’s seven-piece orchestra will play for the affair. Ritchie promises to have an entertainer sing several numbers during the dig.
All men in the stag line are asked to stand as far back from the center of the room as possible so that those dancing may have room, for the hall is none too large for the crowd that attends and if the men stand back it will make it much more pleasant for all those who are dancing.
Patrons and patronesses for the dig are to include Dean Francis Bacon, Prof. and Mrs. C. D. Carus, and Prof. Howard De Forrest.
The cloak room is to be open during the evening for the convenience of the students. On Wednesday after the dig the column entitled “Dirty Digs” will appear in the Trojan which includes all of the scandal which occurs at the dance.
OUTSIDE TALENT IN FRIDAY RALLY
Tournament of Roses Trophy Will Be Presented To S. C. Band.
EX-TROJAN PRAISES WORKIGRIDSIERS
T. M. Burgess Listens To Pitt-S. C. Game In North Carolina.
Fifteen minutes of entertainment of outside origin is the program planned for the rally at chapel hour tomorrow morning. In view of tho absence of the S. C. basketball team for its first conference game with California, the rally committee has secured outstanding professional performers for the entertainment of the student body.
Contrary to the policy during football season, local campus talent is to give place to popular musical numbers by a w’ell-known orchestra and singers, for this single rally betw’een the two athletic seasons, basketball and football.
In addition, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses trophy is to be presented by Pasadena officials to the
S.	C. band under Hal Roberts for its performance New* Year’s day in the parade.
"It is seldom the rally committee has the opportunity to present a purely entertainment rally to the students,” stated Sam New’man, rally chairman, “and we expect to make it a really enjoyable performance for every Trojan present. Outside talent is to be made use of, in collaboration with the usual rally material, for the entire coming season, in addition to the customary pep demonstrations.”
The first real basketball rally is to be held the following Friday, the day of the flrst S. C. conference game to be held this season in Los Angles. It will be in the form of a presentation to the campus of our new basketball coach, Sam. Barry and his assistant, the Big Ten ali-American, Forrest Twogood. Johnny Lehners, this year’s captain of the team will also'VeT presen ted.
T. M. Burgess, instructor in the department of mathematics at Neuse-Forest junior college, New Bern, North Carolina, who received his master’s degree in education at Southern California in 1928 wrote the following letter to Ralph Flynn, editor of the Trojan, concerning the New Year’s Day game between the Southern California Trojans and the Panthers of Pittsburgh:
Dear Sir:—Just a line to tell you that I received a great thrill, as I listened in on the University of Southern California-University of Pittsburgh football game, which was concluded long after dark out here on the Atlantic coast. The University of Southern California and Coach Howard Jones may well be proud of that team. Saunders did not disappoint those who have admired his football career.
We heard Dr. von KlelnSmid as plainly as if he were speaking to us in the regular Southern California assembly.
I hope that the university have a great celebration during its fiftieth aniversary celebration.
Sincerely,
T. M. Burgess,
