Music Wampus To Appear on Campus Today
Smiling Co-eds To Hand Out Magee Magazine Throughout Day
Scandal Threatens Troy As Famous Writers Review Past
“Wampus” will be the keyword to campus activity today as the famous Ted Magee product surges from student hand to student hand. Magee, backer of scintillating Trojan humor books, promises a triumphant conquering of Troy with his wit as the multi-colored publications cover school from early morning on.
Coming in the way of a double treat, the monthly book will be passed into eager hands by ultra-attractive A. W. S. salesladies. A j smile is promised as the reward for | each purchase. The Trojan co-eds I will not use their appearance in the public eye merely as a means to | further their popularity, but will j use their cut from the sales to apply to the A. W. S. scholarship fund.
ORCHESTRAS FEATURED
Magee takes a turn to the artis-I tic in the first issue of the year j when he uses music as the theme of the publication. “Learn all about the notorious college life of I your favorite orchestra leader I” will be the cry on the campus. Lombardo, Bernie, and Arnheim will have their pasts exposed as the j flood of Wampii strike the walls of I Troy.
Mingled in with the sharps and Hats will appear the old, popular stanu-bys of Trojan scandal-mong-j ers. Satchel Belch, long known in Wampus circles, returns in all his burping glory with a brand new masterpiece entitled “Hiccups.” The j editor himself stoops to the plane of a scribe and edifies his book with “We Chose to Tour.”
James Ashbaugh, perennial publications decorator, has supervised the art work for the Music number as well as having adorned the cover with the usual high grade of Ashbaugh art. Henry Reese, Douglas Hale, and Harry Kelso have contributed art work.
FRATERNITIES EXPOSED Fraternal history stock takes a rise with the inauguration of a policy of articles dealing with the stories of men’s and women’s social groups on the campus. Pi Kappa Alpha and Delta Gamma break into the limelight into today’s issue. Bob Johnson, compiled the statistics for the revelations. Frank Breese and Laura Crozier, favorites with generations of Wampus readers, offer “Portraits,” an expose of dark doings, and “Interview.”
Poems and short jokes, some of them reputedly original, add tone to the pages.

Japanese Attack Stimson Speech
TOKIO, Oct 4.—(UP)—The international ramifications of Japan’s policy in Manchuria were intensified today when a war ministry spokesman attacked the attitude of the American state department, while advices from Manchukuo were telling of spread of warfare in which hundreds were killed.
Japan suspects that an understanding existed between the United States and certain members of the league in framing the Lytton commission’s report, the spokesman said, adding that remarks by Secretary Henry L. Stimson tend “to encourage anti-Japanese sentiment among smaller nations, bringing about an impossible situation at Geneva.” Japan has threatened to resign from the league if the Lytton report is accepted.
The spokesman’s conclusions were based on the fact that Stimson made a speech at Philadelphia the day before the Lytton report was published.
Graduate Council Election Is Held
Election of new members of the Graduate council took place at the Graduate school luncheon yesterday in the Student Union. The new members are Margaret Turner, Marjorie Wilson, Charles Spaulding, and Snowpine Liu.
A trip to the Huntington library for all graduate students was announced at that time. Through arrangements made by Dean Rockwell D. -Hunt, graduate students are given the opportunity of visiting the museum on Saturday, Oct. 29.
Increasing interest in the national political poll at S.C. was manifest today as editors of the Daily Trojan revealed further details of the balloting to be held Friday on the campus.
Every student will be privileged to cast one vote on the three candidates for president and the three nominees for United States senator from California. Polling booths will be open at all colleges and stations on the campus under the supervision of Francis Cislini, all-university elections commissioner. Trojans will be distributed by a staff of workers in the University bookstore and student identification cards must be presented before ballots can be cast.
The Daily Trojan is holding the poll in conjunction with many leading colleges and universities of the United States. The complete tabulation of results is expected to be a valuable indication of collegiate sentiment over the country.
The ballots printed in Friday’s Trojan will have the names of Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Norman Thomas for president and Tallant Tubbs, Republican; William Gibbs Mc-Adoo, Democrat; and Rev. Robert Shuler, Prohibitionist, for senator.
The Trojan will continue to print an added amount of political news to acquaint students with the latest developments. Daily newrs of the campaigns from the complete wire service of the United Press will give a vivid picture of the various factions, while special feature articles and comment on platforms, issues, and records will be printed.

Famous Tenor To Entertain In Assembly

Chamllc. plauded, with frequent and insistent demands for encores, by more than 1,000 students.
His program has not yet been announced, but he will follow the precedent set last year and introduce his own selections. University officials guaranteed last night, however, that “All Hail'* would be one of them.
On account of the lengthened assembly hour, no class schedules will be distributed by the Chamlee visit, as was the case last year, Mulvey White, chairman of the assembly committee, promised last night.
Accompanying Chamlee on tbe piano will be Prof. Max Swarthout of the College of Music. Dean Walter F. Skeele will open and close the program with organ solos.
President R. B. von KleinSmid will preside.
Chamlee is a native of Los Angeles, and took all his academic college work at S.C. He played football, participated in track, and was a member of Theta Psi fraternity. Far from studying voice, the now eminent tenor majored in foreign languages at Troy. His artistic possibilities were unearthed during a campus minstrel show in 1912.
Dr. Metfessel Perfects Psychological Apparatus
An advance in psychology laboratory methods has been achieved by Dr. Milton F. Metfessel in the perfection of a simple apparatus for testing the musical pitch of the voice.
Dr. Metfessel points out that this device, like others developed in the laboratory within the last year is a demonstration of the fact hat psychological data may be as effectively obtained by the use of simple constructed inexpensive means as by those whoch are costly and complicated.
It is by the use of the known principle of stroboscopy, by which principle moving objects such as the spokes of a revolving wheel may be seen as if standing still, explains Dr. Metfessel, that the apparatus for testing the pitch of the voice has been produced.
It consists of a tuning fork and a revolving disk, the speed of which may be regulated to correspond with various musical notes. The tuning fork, he states, when held against the singer’s head, causes his eyes to vibrate in synchronism with the disc, making his eyes function only when the disc reaches a certain position. He has shown that singers can learn to produce such vibrations with their own voices and, by watching the rotating disc, determine the pitch of their voices.
Dr. Metfessel has been included among those whom the Associated Press has invited, as authorities in their respective fields, to contribute to a series of articles on scientific subjects to be printed in leading newspapers of the I
countrv.	j
McAdoo, Tubbs To Tell Party Aims
