Robin Hood Slated for Film Classic
“Robin Hood,” starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Wallace Beery, will be presented by the Film Classics series on Monday evening at 8 in Hancock auditorium.
The films of Douglas Fairbanks Sr. have been acclaimed by audiences the world over. His swashbuckling portrayals of the athletic screen hero garnered him the film fame which he still carries today.
Starting his caieer with Director D. W. Griffith, his fame rose ar the way through the early 20s as he produced and acted in fabulous adventure tales of far away romantic places. His amazing feats of athletic agility performed on the screen provided thrills for many cinema goers.
He swung from the mast and slid down the mainsail to rescue the heroine in “The Black Pirate.’' He jumped from roof top to tower while he gracefully dueled the vicious villain in “The Mark of Zorro.”
In “Robin Hood” made in 1922 under the direction of Alan Dwan, Fairbanks breathed life into tht English tale of gay adventure. As the good badman of Sherwood forest, he brought a symphony of bodily movement to the screen.
This is the third program presented by the Film Classics series. Tickets for the remaining 10 films of thc series can still be purchased at the ticket office for $3.

Award Smile Crown Today
The two SC students whose coruscating (sparkling to you) smiles were judged most outstanding will be crowned king and queen of “Hello and Smile” week 3:30 this afternoon at the joint AWS-AMS picnic on University avenue.
The duo with the Ameche-like grins, whose names must remain secret for now, will receive a $10 merchandise order as a prize. (Positively guaranteed not to be tooth paste)
An affable quartet of smile connoisseurs composed of Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students; Katie Connelly, Panhellenic adviser; Rae Haas, Mortar Board president; and Joyce Elmen, chairman of “Hello and Smile” week, did the judging.
“It was impossible to get a picture of everyone, there were so many smiling faces on the campus. However, I feel we got a good representation of students,” pretty, blonde Chairman Elman said—with a smile of course.

Band to March Down by the Ohio
T r o y’s hard - working football band will march onto the gridiron tomorrow at half-time with seven minutes of formations and music dedicated to the Buckeye State.
The band will step off to “Hi Ho Hi Ho” and will halt before the south stands where its first formation will spell out Hi. Two squads of musicians flanking this greeting to the Buckeyes will then spelling of Ohio.

Reports generating from various sources on campus reveal how Trojans are getting their World series information this week.
Oddest story comes from a student who told the DT that he has ^ system by which notes are passed to him under the door of his class and then passed around to other students.
The student, who refused to divulge his name for fear of retribution from his professor, said that he has a confederate sitting outside with a portable radio who slips him an inning by inning account of the game.
Other brave souls were seen defying their instructors by sitting in the far recesses of classrooms hunched over tiny personal portables.
The majority of students on campus are getting their baseball information in a more orthodox manner from automobile and
fraternity bouse radios.
Up in the Student Union lounge, a group of approximately 40 students has been following the baseball classic from a radio donated by Trovets, a campus veterans organization. The radio is turfed low in order not to interrupt others who wish to study or play cards.
On the corner of 36th street and University avenue, John Kno-tek, ice cream vendor, is trying to counteract the bad weather by having students gather around his portable radio.
He said that he doesn’t know whether his courtesy is helping his business.
Knotek, who is studying the Bible when he isn’t selling ice cream, also said that he is a baseball fan. He was heard predicting that Lopat would pitch for the Yankees and Branca for the Dodgers in today’s game.
Executive Hits Federal Housing
Federal housing was kicked in the pants last night when Herbert Nelson, vice-president of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, addressed the housing seminar in Bridge hall.
According to Nelson, the Federal government will control the purse strings of all taxes in 15 years ii it continues at its present rate, and efficient local government, especial ly in the housing field, will be destroyed.
When he objected to direct Federal aid in housing he was backed into a verbal corner concerning the successful FHA, but replied that the FHA, although a Federal corporation, is actually a mutual in-suance company owned by the insured persons.
“Senator Taft,” he said when questioned on the $15 billion housing bill, “talks conservative and consistently votes the other way. That housing bill is the most socialistic project ever put before the Federal government.”
shape of a windmill whose four vanes revolve in time with “Down by the Ohio,” the halftime musicians will depict one of the oldest landmarks in the state. The windmill was built on the banks of the Ohio river in 1742.
One band member will stand alone when the rest of the band deserts him in midfield. A singlefile formation will return to surround him by outlining the shape of thc guests’ home state.
The medievally costumed center man. clothed to resemble Christopher Columbus, will mark the site of the state capital.
A block O will be the band’s last salute to the visitors. Activity in the card section will halt when the band breaks into a drill formation and plays band member Frank Ericson’s special arrangement of “Blues in the Night.”
Facing the SC rooting section, the band will march its way into form of the Trojan horse’s head whose winking eye will salute t.he co-eds while the band plays “Fight On.’
The seven-minute entertainment ✓by the grid band under the direction ot Tommy Walker represents 1120 man-hours of practice by the band during the week.
Catholics to Cive Hi and Smile' Dig
Following the theme “Hello and Smile,’\ the Newman club, Catholic student group, will give a get-ac-quainted dance this evening at 8 in the hall over Tam's bookstore.
The program includes songs and instrumental solos by club members. There will be a small admission charge and free refreshments.
Knight Head Lists Game Stunt. Plans
Trojan pre-game rooting will get off to an official start tomorrow when an overloaded jeep collapses before the rooting section.
Twelve coeds and five yell leaders will disentangle themselves from the prostrate remains. The victory bell will come into the Coliseum with the jeep, but at a safe distance.
George Tirebiter’s dignity will be preserved by his arrival in a spacious car.
Bert Coffey, president of the Trojan Knights, hopes to fill in the block SC pompon section by strategically luring coeds with pompons into the section by opening the gates to them only at 11:40 a.m.
The card section will begin half-time activities with a welcome to the visitors by spelling “Hello Buckeyes” and depicting a chestnut—the buckeye to untravelled Californians.
A fancier creation, the second pasteboard display will picture the state of Ohio in the upper right corner and California in the opposite half. “East Meets West” will occupy the center of the section, and a red line will work its way from Ohio’s capital and to Los Angeles where it will explode into a burst of color.
“‘Butch” will be caricatured in the third stunt. He will be followed by a block SC.
The animated feature, stunts "6 through 11, wil show Tommy Trojan picking a chestnut from a tree, putting it on a block, breaking the chestnut with two mighty blows from his sword, and celebrating his success by throwing the nutmeat into his mouth.
Two other stunts, in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, will carry a fire prevention message and celebrate Los Angeles Municipal airport’s status as an international air center.
Spelling out “SC Troy” by a fill-in will be the usual signature stunt.
Bert Coffey's Knights don't know when to give up.
They tell us now that Tommy’s going to get another sword if it kills him.
Tommy's armor has frustrated more Trojans than Dr. Caldwell's history finals, and George Wood is the latest hero to tackle the project that has met with nothing but defeat in the past. But when Bert says “Ycu!” what can George do but try?
PROJECTS LISTED The Knights Project committee, headed by Doug Morgan, yesterday released a list of the projects the Trojan service organization will carry out this semester besides their customary work at athletic events, rallies, and university functions.
Ranking next to Tommy's sword in importance, Morgan chose for himself the not-too-revolting task of arranging for song leaders at the football games.
PARKS WILL PARK Bob Parks will tackle the parking lot setup with ideas for improvements and the already announce i black-topping program. With DT distribution still not working at its smoothest. Don Gevirtz is getting more boxes for campus distribution.
George McMonigle is preparing a rev.sed and more complete directory for the Student Union, and Jim McBride is struggling with j. system of pass-out checks for gu>s and gals in the rooting section who have to—uh—well—leave their places‘for a while.
AAA ENLISTED Tho most ambitious project has gone to Marv Lester, who is enlisting the aid of the Automobile club in presenting a demonstration of driving safety on campus.
According to the Knights, “The way some students drive down University avenue and 28th street is a source of concern to all of us. Through this demonstration it is hoped that an object lesson can be taught to many Trojans.”

Plans for the Homecoming dance, ganization for the ‘"Pet of Gold”
I still being worked on by Bill War-! field, dance chairman, began to jell I yesterday with the signing of Frank Dr Vcl’s 24-piece orchestra for the Nov. 5 affair.
De Vol, Capitol recording artist, is responsible for the musical arrangements leatured on many radio shows, including the Ginny Simms, Jack Smith, and Jack Carson programs. Some of his latest recordings feature the voices of Margaret Whiting, Mel Tonne, and Kay Starr.
After a 1936 tour with Horace Heidt as instrumentalist and singer, De Vol took over the arranging for the newly-formed Alvino Rey band. He returned to the Heidt or-
s* ow in 1940.
During a stint as musical director for KHJ, he presented his own show, “Music Depreciation,’’ over 135 network stations. He also conducted for the Rudy Vallee program.
Southland critics acclaim De Vol’s use of dynamics and his general technical excellence. His dance arrangements lean toward the jazz style.
As a composer, he turns out novelty hit tunes at frequent intervals.
“We feel that De Vol has the best band of any available for this all-U dance,” Chairman Warfield said yesterday. “Additional entertainment and the dance location will be selected within a few days.”J
