BIG S. C. CLUB 10 BE F
Letter Men Urged To Be Present at First Meeting of New Society
TO BE LARGEST IN WEST
Organization First of Its Kind in South—To Include All Varsity Members
“Big S.C. Club,” composed of monogram winners in a major sport, will be formed within the next two weeks. Invitations to old stars who won letters while here are being sent out, urging them to be present at the formation of the club.
The establishment of a varsity monogram club will be an advance step for the University. All colleges have a club composed of their atheltic stars and the organization is usually one of the ruling forces 011 a campus.
The organization here, according to Coach Henderson, will stand for a high athletic policy in the institution.
It is the plan to get a representative appointed to the faculty athletic committee. Some of the business of the club will be to recommend managers for the different branches of sports and to work out the school athletic problems.
' The organization is expected to be the largest of its kind in Southern California and perhaps one of the largest in the West.
Organization of the club will take place after the football insignias are given out in the near future.
Designs for a permanent U.S.C. monogram are being worked out and the one chosen will be incorporated in the letters to be awarded to the football men.

Claude Reeves, student body presi dent, will act as toastmaster.
Large quantities of college spirit and plenty of the “old U.S.C. pep” that did so much to put the University on the football map last fall are promised by Claude Reeves, A.SB. president, for the student rally today in chapel at 11:40.
The most important feature of the rally will be the initiation of the seven pledges to Spooks and Spokes, junior women’s honorary society, who will put on an original stunt program before the students for their public initiation. The formal initiation will take place next Tuesday evening at 6 o’clock at the Beta Phi house, and will be followed by a banquet at 7:15 at the Mary Louise tea rooms.
In addition to the initiation the rally will be featured by a display of college spirit that should be attended by every student.
The Spooks and Spokes pledges who will put 011 the stunt are Katherine King, Marian Curtis, Helen Walker, Edith Scott, Marjorie Helm, and Grace Cooper of the College of Liberal Arts, and Dorothea Mesny from the College of Law. Miss Mesny is vice-president of the College of Law student body.
^ 11 Kr^duate students are asked by *Ph Bin night, president, to assemble the south steps next Tuesday jj\rnin£ ut 11:40 to have the class Ure for El Rodeo taken.
Standard Dress Adopted
At a recent general assembly meeting, the men of the University of Colorado voted to adopt army breeches or corduroy trousers and flannel shirts for campus wear. The movement was the outcome of a recommendation of the college president, who stated that certain students were unable to main tain the standards of dress that prevailed at the school.
Harvard May Come West
Gossip has it that the Harvard University Glee Club may come west next New Year’s day and co-operate in a great song festival. It is expected the University of California Glee Club will sing with the Harvard club.
NEW U.S.C. HANDBOOK APPEARS NEXTiWEEK
According to Dr. Leitzel, financial agent of the University, the new University handbook of general informa tion will be out next week.
This book is to be used in the financial campaign which U.S.C. is preparing to put on and will be distributed among the business men of the city as propaganda.
Particular emphasis is laid upon the practical side of an education at the University of Southern California. A list of men from each department who are now holding prominent positions is a special feature. Comparisons with other colleges as to expenses, merits and practicability are made.
Although there has been some rumor that one of the first games of the Inter-fraternity baseball schedule, that to be played between Zeta Kappa Epsilon and Delta Beta Tau at Exposition Park this afternoon, would be postponed, no confirmation has been made and it is probable that a final decision will be reached this morning. The game between Phi Alpha and Gamma Epsilon will be played according to schedule.
Because of the necessity of a great number of football men going out of town this afternoon at the request of Coach Henderson to round up and bring prospective students to the Greater*Univeristy Banquet tonight, it is doubtful whether either Zeta Kappa Epsilon or Delta Beta Tail will be able to put a full team on the diamond. In case the game is postponed the nines will probably clash next Tuesday afternoon.
Expect Speed
Fast play and clcse competition are expected to mark the opening contests. The Zekes are counting on Green, Toolen, Woodward. Delta Beta Tau has such men as Thornton, Cassill, and Dean. Phi Alpha claims to have stars in “Chuck” Ainley, Mead and the Lindley brothers, and Gamma Epsilon boasts Charleson, Freeman and the two Garners.
Next Friday afternoon Sigma Chi takes on Theta Psi, and Sigma Tau plays Zeta Beta Tau. The games will be called at 3 o’clock.
