BAND GOES CIRC
ANTICS AT PALO ALTO BRING TRIP
$135,000 Budget Chiseled By Roberts For Two Weeks’ Joy Ride
Flushed with the success of their circus performance at the Stanford game last Saturday, members of the Greater Roberts Troian band have accepted the Invitation of university officials to join the Ringllng brothers circus during Christmas vacation.
Harold William Roberts, major dom.i of the Trojans, has drawn up a two-weeks buriget for $135,000. Through an oversight, only $10,000 was set asite for the Stanford trip last Saturday so the barnstorm circus trip will make up for privations suffered at Palo Alto. Although the musicians Join the circus at Watts, $15,000 will be used for transportation to that point, with $75,000 being alloted for the remainder of the two weeks.
Taxi For Coachman
Every man of the 250 piece band will have a separate compartment and porter- service Fre« shoe shines, clothes pressing, and telegraph- privileges -will be given gratis by the railroad company/ Whenever the circus stops in a town, each -man will ride in a taxi to the big tents, ■where he will have an upholstered seat and padded • trousers. New uniforms of red velvet with 14 caart braid and buttons, will be used to enable Trojan alumni in the bleacher seats to recognize their fraternity brothers.
A large appropriation of $12,-
000	will be used for. balloons and other material used in stunts. A large shipment of expensive double bass tubas has been ordered from Europe so that at least six or seven horns can be torn apart each night for the amusement (?) of the people. To provide variety, slide trombones will occasionally be demolished.
Big Fort Bill
Food on the trip will cost $15,000, Roberts revealed, since the usual circus chow is not good enough for the stellar bandmen. Three cooks will be hired to accompany the Trojans to provide incidental sand wiehes, milkshakes, and toast, while unlimited expense accounts will be allowed in hotels. The recent outrage in San Francisco when the musicians were only allowed from $1 to $1.25 per meal will not be tolerated during the vacation out-in".
Two new instruments will be given each man, although this expense is not Included in the budget. Gold plating service every week will keep the band looking neat and the Associated Students broke. Members of the Male chorus—they get the free trip along with the band as usual—will be given hand made gold megaphones with bronze mouthpieces, besides distinctive uniforms of gold chain mesh.
Roberts Is Expert
With so much publicity, Ro berts may turn from directing to running a circus, in view of his extensive experience for the past live to 10 years, we forget which. Recruits would be secured from the Trojan band, the 160th Infantry baud, the Gol den State band, the Westlake band, the Olympic band, Liberty band, aud Salvation Army band. If tho demon director has ac quired any more bands before press time, they will be included too. J. Arthur Lewis, gleo club director, was frustrated in his attempt to chisel tickets for his 2,000 piece Olympic chorus.

POLITICAL
GRAFT IS UNCOVER’D
FacuKy Committee Given Damning Evidence in Sweeping Survey
Uncovering a trail of graft and corruption in student politics on the Trojan campus that promises to send student leaders hurrying to cover, the Vulture late last night placed in the hands of the faculty welfare committee enough evidence to insure the indictment of the “Mohler ring” and to place the management of the student government back, into the hands of-Louie “Ketchum” Gough.
Indication that all was not w'ell as the unruffled surface of .student politics pointed out was disclosed to Vulture three weejcs ago by “Alumni” Gough who complained that his placc as advisor to the president had beep usurped by Mickey "Homecoming” Chat bui^ dynamic campaign manager ofWernardinu Mohler.
Gough Very Busy "In September,” Gough confessed, "I was devoting 1attention solely to Kay Moss, inasmuch as the competition from the Trojan ollice was getting keen. 1 thought that my position as head of the Trojan ‘Tammany’ was permanently securfi, so I did not enter iMo Jfc political fray as prom-1 inently iy in the past.”
"Now,” he wept, “Mohler no longer pays any attention to what I tell him. Oh, for another Bushard.”
