Independents Call Meeting
Non-Fraternity Students To Gather at 7:30 This Evening
To acquaint all new and old Independent students with a movement of vital importance and campus-wide interest, a meeting is to be held tonight at 7:30 in Student Union 422.
Worth Bernard, an officer of the Independent group, and chairman of the student movement, will preside at the meeting, which i is to bring to the attention of ! every S. C. student certain information of all-university importance.
All fraternity men and women have been contacted this week and acquainted with the matter, and it is imperative that tonight’s meeting, which has been sanctioned by the Associated Student officials, be attended by as many Independent students as possible.
' Heads of university organizations gathered Monday, to learn the details of the proposition.
The Independent students were orpanized last year, and took an active part in Trojan affairs. Emil i Steck. varsity debater, who was re-elected president of the group . in June, transferred to Harvard during the summer and a new leader will be chosen in the near ‘ future.
Co-Managers of Stage Crew Still Offer Positions
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18—(UP)— Republican captains are rallying tonight for the third phase of the "battle of the Midwest.”
On the outcome of that struggle, they believe, will depend their chances for victory when America elects a president three weeks 1 from to-day. President Hoover will leave Friday for an address in Detroit — his third thrust into i the vital section that politicians love to call “the backbone of the nation.’’
Three Speeches
It is significant that President Hoover has chosen to address his first three campaign speeches specifically to that section. Geographically, his offensive thus far is in the shape of a triangle, ex-i tending from Detroit to Des Moines to Cleveland. The lines of that triangle pass through five : all-important states, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa— a total of 99 electorial votes.
Even the most partisan of Re-I publican leaders concede that unless they can bring a goodly share of these 99 votes into line their case is almost hopeless. Just as New England usually can be counted safely Republican and the Solid ! South safely Democratic, so the Midwest has come to be doubtful ground where political battles are lost and won.
Domestic Issues
In his Des Moines and Cleveland speeches — and this probafr ly will hold good for his Detroit one — he has dealt with domestic issues. Briefly, he has attempted to convince Midwestern voters ! that:
1. The business depression had its origin in the woes of post-war
1 Europe.
2. The battle against the depression is gaining ground because of the creation under his guidance of such organizations as the reconstruction finance corporation and the home loan bank board.
3. The battle will be lost unless the Hawley-Smoot tariff is maintained and unless the administra-
| tion is re-elected to maintain it.
4. A Democratic victory will send farm prices rocketing downward.
The Thundering Herd will march out of the Trojan stockade tomorrow night to the tune of bands and the blare of horns, as the student body sends the football team off to Stanford in a parade and train-side rally.
Beginning with a pep gathering during assembly period tomorrow and continuing until the Trojan special train puffs out of the Southern Pacific station at 7:30 p.m., S.C. will dedicate the day to the send-off for the Stanford game Saturday. A fan fare of trum pets from the Administration build ing tower wrill call the students to the assembly at 9:55 a.m. The historic Trojan war flag, flown only preceding big games, will be hoisted to the flag pole on the tower.
Inside, in Bovard auditorium, Harold Roberts’ Trojan band will open the festivities wit'** a colle-j giato medley, and the male chorus j will sing “Hail Mighty Trojans.” i Coach Howard Jones will delivei a pep talk and Bailey Edgerton, yell king. will lead the cheering.
Hundreds of cars will form in a parade at 6:15 p.m. tomorrow on University avenue. As the pro cession starts for the S. P. station at 6:30, the Mudd hall chimes
will ring out a program of the university songs. Leading the parade will be a special escort of motorcycle police, and the buses carrying the tea^i and the Trojan band. Studffits may obtain cardinal and gold decorations for their cars at the University Book store tomorrow afternoon.
Five blocks from the station the band .will alight and march to the train. Loudspeakers will be installed at the rear platform, and a rally will take place there. Coach Jones will again speak, the band will play, players will be introduced, and the students will cheer, led by Yell King Edgerton.
Joe Bushard, chairman of the rally committee, has requested that students line up promptly for the parade at 6:15 tomorrow night, in order that the evening’s program may be completed when the train leaves at 7:45 p.m.
If Troy wins the Stanford game | Saturday, the 11 best players on the squad will be presented with ! woolen monogram blankets, announced Chris Daniels, manager of the University Book store, last ; night. The blankets will be the I gift of the store.

A. functions are open to all men on the campus whether they are members of the orpaniza-Uon or not, Alexander stated.
Ticket sales for the Father-Sons dinrer to be held November 2 will begin today it was announced.
Positions on the stage crew of ! the play productions department ' are still available, according to Val Jean McCoy and Bill Hoppe, co-managers for the first play sponsored by that department this semester. At a meeting held Monday afternoon, a few positions on the crew wrere filled, but there is yet a demand for electricians and property men.
Today at 3:15 p.m. in Student | Union 220, any students interested ! in working on the crew will be , interviewed. It is necessary that some have experience in electrical work, but for other activity on the staff, doing property work and stage shifting, experience is not required.

S.C., U.C.L.A. Classic Clubs To Hold Meet
Modern Design Course Now Added to Fine Arts Degree
Sodalitas Classicas, the ram pus classical club, is planning a joint meeting with the U. C. L. A. group on Friday, October 28.
The meeting will include a tour of the new Doheny Memorial library, conducted by Miss Charlotte M. Brown, librarian, after which tea will be served in the Y. W.
“Advanced design in the department of decorative design has been made a four-year professional course in the College of Architecture,” said Dean Arthur C. Weatherhead today. The course leads to a bachelor of fine arts degree.
Prof. Ken Weber, who, according to Dean Weatherhead, is one of the most competent men in the field of design, is in charge of the class, and it is his intent to train students to go into the field of industrial design.
The course includes instruction in the design of furniture, fixtures, (electrical and otherwise), fabrics, modern metal and glass, tile, and complete interiors.
“Modern design, instead of copying styles of the past or European modern design, attempts to create design from the purpose of
the article and the material from which it might be made,” said Dean Weatherhead. Designing dovetails with the work of architecture in using modern material and modern processes.
The first problem was a tea set. The students are now working on a problem involving the design of a complete dressing room, including all the mirrors, dressing tables, and lighting.
Designing embraces a tremendous field with the number of well equipped persons very limited. In the field there is opportunity for showing an unlimited amount of : originality, according to Professor Weber, in fact the requirements of a good designer include the ability to get away from the commonplace and to create strikingly j new things.
Campus scandal, tastefully written, will be offered to the students of Southern California next Wednesday when copies of The Vulture, annual fall razz sheet, will be sold by actives and pledges of By-Liners, professional journalism fraternity.
One of the features of the humor magazine will be intimate glimpses of Trojans during the week-end of the Stanford game. Operatives for the paper will be lurking on all trains and boats to the game, as well as in Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco after the contest. Satire, political graft, athletic secrets, and “inside” stories will be printed.
As in past years, the razz sheet will take the place of the Daily Trojan on Wednesday. Members and pledges of By-Liners will publish the paper and then sell it during assembly hour and between classes. The newshawks will don outlandish clothes for the occas-sion. Last year the edition was an eight page tabliod on green paper.
Wendell Sether, assistant editor of the Daily Trojan and a By-Liner pledge, will serve as editor. He will be assisted by Quentin Reger, editor of the Daily, John “Sky” Dunlap, Daily managing editor, and By-Liner president, and other members of the club.
Drama Shop Will Cast for Three One-Act Plays
With Drama Shop’s first production of the year, “Streets of New' York,” acknowledged a complete success, the S. C. little theater group will proceed at once with tryouts for its second presentation, according to Norman Wright, president.
Tryouts are scheduled for tomorrow at 3 p.m. in Touchstone theater, where Louise Johnson, Drama Shop vice-president will supervize casting for the three one-act plays that will comprise the coming presentation.
As in tbe past seven yaars, all work incident to production, from direction to ushering, will be handled by student members of the organization.
Any S. C. student is welcome to participate in the tryouts, Miss Johnson announced yesterday. A larger number of roles than was available for “Streets of New York” is at the disposal of the three student directors, whose names have not yet been announced.
The plays are of varied types, accoding to Miss Johnson, with straight drama, comedy, and mystery represented.
ELWOOD MUSIC HALL, BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 18—(UP)—The Democratic party of Alfred E. Smith and Senator Robert F. Wagner has stood for progressive policies in New York state, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt said at a state rally here tonight.
“The Democratic party in New York state has stood for what I call the forgotten man,” he said. “The Republican party in this state, on the other hand, has stood for cheese-paring, conservatism and complete failure.”
Roosevelt was greeted by an enthusiastic audience on his second major speech today. Earlier at Rochester he had praised the leadership of Alfred E. Smith as a pioneer in legislation to benefit the „forgotten man.”
These first two speeches of Roosevelt’s middle western and southern swing were concerned largely with New York state politics, his contribution toward the election of Lieut-Gov. Herbert Lehman as governor of New York. He spoke extemporaneously.
Representing the Democratic party in New York state as the party of progressive legislation, Roosevelt said “it took me two years of cussing and browbeating” to get a 48-hour labor law.
When he asked how the credit of the state of New York compared with that of federal government, a man in the gallery yelled, “You tell them.” “I see you know the answer,” Roosevelt shot back.

Stanford Faculty Suggests Changes In Tariff Barrier
S. C. Newman Club Makes Plans For Membership Drive
Plans for a membership drive were formulated last evening at the Newman club meeting held in Student Union 422. This drive will consist largely of individual efforts, with each member bringing Catholic friends to the social gatherings and to the general meetings of the club.
"There are several hundred Catholic students on the campus, but only a comparatively small number attend the meetings of the Newman club,” stated John Raymond, president of the club. "In other schools this organization ranks very high and there is no reason why the Trojan group can not also become outstanding at S.

PALO ALTO, Oct. 18—(UP)— Members of the economic faculty of Stanford university—alma mater of President Hoover — today urged elimination of high American tariff restrictions.
"If provisions of the Smoot-| Hawley tariff bill were reduced, the ’ cost of production would Increase. Industries would not be handicapped. Agricultural exports would increase, other countries would lower their trade barriers and the worldwide depression would be alleviated,” said Prof. Eliot Jones.
The tariff was called "antiquated” by Prof. Theodore John Kreps, associate professor in the graduate school of business.
"With new inventions and intricate machinery, the United States has definitely become a cog in the world’s international movements.
The Smoot-Hawley tariff bill was described by Professors Theodore H. Boggs and John Bennett Canning as "a mistake and a blunder.

40 entrants in yesterday after* noon’s preliminaries were Alfred Baughn, Foy Draper, Burton Field. Trevor Hawkins, Roy Johnston, F. Clinton Jones, John E. Layng, Rue* sell Nixon.

Thrills of Underclass Play Appropriate- to Hallowe’en
Advice Offered Women
All girls who have received “cinch notices” and need advice are asked to see Dr. Roberta Crucher in the dean of women’s office
While the fact that the "Jade God” will be presented to the campus only a day or two before Hallowe’en may be a coincidence, it is a very appropriate one, according to W. Ray MacDonald, professor in the School of Speech who has charge of the production. ~ "The Jade God” will be given one evening only, October 28. Admission will be by student activity books.
“The Jade God,” a fantastic drama of the first degree, was chosen in keeping with the policy of the play productions department to have all underclass plays of a serious and mysterious content. Some of the previous underclass plays have been “First Night,” and "The Haunted House.” These have all had murder or robbery complications by which an clement of suspense and horror
has been built up.
The mysteriousness of the crime in "The Jade God,” according to MacDonald, is heightened by the fact that it is no ordinary murder, but it is involved by Eastern magic and mysticism. This provides an atmosphere of unreality and produces an intangible menace under which the characters of the play are powerless to free themselves.
The cast, chosen from the freshman and sophomore classes, has been in rehearsal for the past three weeks and will continue every day up to the evening of production. Members are being coached by Dorothea Bell, student director, who is being assisted by Dorothy Martin. The cast is composed mostly of new students on the campus, seven players being freshmen, while only four are so-phamo’-**'
Republicans Meet To Plan Campaign
Organizing for the campaign for re-election of President Hoover, students from S. C. met in the Republican campaign headquarters, Fifth and Spring streets, last night with repr sentatives of other southern Califoi -la schools. Trojan students attending the conclave were Worth Bernard, Gregson Bautzer, Evelyn Wells, Regina Gerardl, and Joe Cook.
The responsibilities of college men and women in the coming election were emphasized by Judge Marshall McComb, of the superior court, S. C. ’20, in the main speech of the evening. Judge McComb pointed out the advantages which students have ln entering into political life on the campus and in national affairs.
'First, we must impress on people the fact that they must vote, and second, that they should use their sound judgement in selecting the best-fitted candidate for the post, ’’Judge McComb said.
Brief talks were made by Ingall W. Bull, chairman of the county Republican central commit* tef; Ned Marr, director of the college division in the campaign; Mrs. William Henneman, head of women’s organizations; and Gregson Bautzer, head of the Republican club at S. C.
Other southern California school* represented were University of California at Los Angeles, California Christian college, Whittier college, Pomona college and Scripps college. •

W. “Advanced design in the department of decorative design has been made a four-year professional course in the College of Architecture,” said Dean Arthur C. Weatherhead today. The course leads to a bachelor of fine arts degree. Prof. Ken Weber, who, according to Dean Weatherhead, is one of the most competent men in the field of design, is in charge of the class, and it is his intent to train students to go into the field of industrial design. The course includes instruction in the design of furniture, fixtures, (electrical and otherwise), fabrics, modern metal and glass, tile, and complete interiors. “Modern design, instead of copying styles of the past or European modern design, attempts to create design from the purpose of the article and the material from which it might be made,” said Dean Weatherhead. Designing dovetails with the work of architecture in using modern material and modern processes. The first problem was a tea set. The students are now working on a problem involving the design of a complete dressing room, including all the mirrors, dressing tables, and lighting. Designing embraces a tremendous field with the number of well equipped persons very limited. In the field there is opportunity for showing an unlimited amount of : originality, according to Professor Weber, in fact the requirements of a good designer include the ability to get away from the commonplace and to create strikingly j new things.

Smith and Senator Robert F. Wagner has stood for progressive policies in New York state, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt said at a state rally here tonight. “The Democratic party in New York state has stood for what I call the forgotten man,” he said. “The Republican party in this state, on the other hand, has stood for cheese-paring, conservatism and complete failure.” Roosevelt was greeted by an enthusiastic audience on his second major speech today. Earlier at Rochester he had praised the leadership of Alfred E. Smith as a pioneer in legislation to benefit the „forgotten man.” These first two speeches of Roosevelt’s middle western and southern swing were concerned largely with New York state politics, his contribution toward the election of Lieut-Gov. Herbert Lehman as governor of New York. He spoke extemporaneously. Representing the Democratic party in New York state as the party of progressive legislation, Roosevelt said “it took me two years of cussing and browbeating” to get a 48-hour labor law. When he asked how the credit of the state of New York compared with that of federal government, a man in the gallery yelled, “You tell them.” “I see you know the answer,” Roosevelt shot back.

Newman Club Makes Plans For Membership Drive Plans for a membership drive were formulated last evening at the Newman club meeting held in Student Union 422. This drive will consist largely of individual efforts, with each member bringing Catholic friends to the social gatherings and to the general meetings of the club. "There are several hundred Catholic students on the campus, but only a comparatively small number attend the meetings of the Newman club,” stated John Raymond, president of the club. "In other schools this organization ranks very high and there is no reason why the Trojan group can not also become outstanding at S. C.

PALO ALTO, Oct. 18—(UP)— Members of the economic faculty of Stanford university—alma mater of President Hoover — today urged elimination of high American tariff restrictions. "If provisions of the Smoot- Hawley tariff bill were reduced, the ’ cost of production would Increase. Industries would not be handicapped. Agricultural exports would increase, other countries would lower their trade barriers and the worldwide depression would be alleviated,” said Prof. Eliot Jones. The tariff was called "antiquated” by Prof. Theodore John Kreps, associate professor in the graduate school of business. "With new inventions and intricate machinery, the United States has definitely become a cog in the world’s international movements. The Smoot-Hawley tariff bill was described by Professors Theodore H. Boggs and John Bennett Canning as "a mistake and a blunder. Tomorrow Night Prominent Professors and S. C.

Thrills of Underclass Play Appropriate- to Hallowe’en Advice Offered Women All girls who have received “cinch notices” and need advice are asked to see Dr. Roberta Crucher in the dean of women’s office While the fact that the "Jade God” will be presented to the campus only a day or two before Hallowe’en may be a coincidence, it is a very appropriate one, according to W. Ray MacDonald, professor in the School of Speech who has charge of the production. ~ "The Jade God” will be given one evening only, October 28. Admission will be by student activity books. “The Jade God,” a fantastic drama of the first degree, was chosen in keeping with the policy of the play productions department to have all underclass plays of a serious and mysterious content. Some of the previous underclass plays have been “First Night,” and "The Haunted House.” These have all had murder or robbery complications by which an clement of suspense and horror has been built up. The mysteriousness of the crime in "The Jade God,” according to MacDonald, is heightened by the fact that it is no ordinary murder, but it is involved by Eastern magic and mysticism. This provides an atmosphere of unreality and produces an intangible menace under which the characters of the play are powerless to free themselves. The cast, chosen from the freshman and sophomore classes, has been in rehearsal for the past three weeks and will continue every day up to the evening of production. Members are being coached by Dorothea Bell, student director, who is being assisted by Dorothy Martin. The cast is composed mostly of new students on the campus, seven players being freshmen, while only four are so-phamo’-**' Republicans Meet To Plan Campaign Organizing for the campaign for re-election of President Hoover, students from S. C. met in the Republican campaign headquarters, Fifth and Spring streets, last night with repr sentatives of other southern Califoi -la schools. Trojan students attending the conclave were Worth Bernard, Gregson Bautzer, Evelyn Wells, Regina Gerardl, and Joe Cook. The responsibilities of college men and women in the coming election were emphasized by Judge Marshall McComb, of the superior court, S. C. ’20, in the main speech of the evening. Judge McComb pointed out the advantages which students have ln entering into political life on the campus and in national affairs. 'First, we must impress on people the fact that they must vote, and second, that they should use their sound judgement in selecting the best-fitted candidate for the post, ’’Judge McComb said. Brief talks were made by Ingall W. Bull, chairman of the county Republican central commit* tef; Ned Marr, director of the college division in the campaign; Mrs. William Henneman, head of women’s organizations; and Gregson Bautzer, head of the Republican club at S. C. Other southern California school* represented were University of California at Los Angeles, California Christian college, Whittier college, Pomona college and Scripps college. • |
