The chapel services proper, will last from 9:55 to 10:05, with five minutes of organ music preceding and following. A five-minute talk by Chaplain Bruce Baxter will be a daily feature of the service. The entire period will be broadcast dally over KMPC.

Parker Tells Of Many New Ways Used By Squires In Frosh Hazing
Under the leadership of Page*is another of the methods put in-
Parker, the Trojan Squires have been chi^lly occupied the past two days in showing the freshmen their places. Not content with the methods used in the past, they have originated several new and particularly effective ways of teaching the frosh to respect their university.
Students passing Old College Monday were attracted to a nearby tall tree by the strange sounds coming from it. They discovered a new variety of bird, a freshman treed by Squires. Placards informed the lookers-on that a freshman tree-sitting contest waj in progress. Sunday night various members of the Squires had a special meeting. In gigantic letters, they painted disrespectful things about themselves on the front sidewalk. The next day the freshmen were given the task of removing this paint, using only bricks and elbow- grease
..operation for tbe first time this semester. Not satisfied with the victims who passed by the Shrine in the natural course of events, Squires searched the corners of the campus, bringing back with them freshmen who were forced to kneel, salaam three times, and repeat the correct formula in a loud tone.
Freshmen will be interested to learn that not only is the latter exercise to be continued, but that several additional hazing methods will be begun next week. The nature of these Parker refused to divulge.
The Squires did take time off to accomplish several other things, however. A Rally committee has been formed with Ernie Oswald as chairman. Yesterday afternoon the organlaation was busy planning tbe rooting section for the U. C L. A. game. The section will be considerably larger

JUNIOR COLLEGE HITS U. C. EDITOR
Modesto, Cal., Sept. 16.—In the name of California's secondary in stitutions of higher learning, Modesto Junior College students today struck back at the editors of the Daily Californian, University of California publication.
The Californian editorialized that junior colleges should be abolished because they have no fraternity or sorority life and "scholastically a Junior college graduate could never become a good Californian.”
Robert W. Schauf, Modesto student editor, waxed sarcastic, thus: "Do colleges exist merely for sororities and fraternities? or are they for educational purposes?"
And he answered himself, thus: ‘‘Most of these Greek letter organizations are merely glorified luncheon clubs.”
Speaking seriously, Schauf said: “Junior colleges bring democracy into higher education by mak ing available college facilities in all parts of the state.”
