thing close to the campus, the alumni and other visitors will have a better chance to see the changes which have been made on campus.
“Having the parade on Hoover Boulevard also makes the parade organization easier,” Hopper said. “This includes setting up a public address system and proper lighting.
“The floats will be in better condition for the parade,” Hopper said. “When we used to haul them across town, they lost parts of their decorations and were generally wilted.”
The parade, which will be on Nov. 12 at 8 p.m., will consist of 30 floats, 28 nonfloat entries, and several bands.
“Tommy Walker and the Trojan Band and cheerleaders will be the last entry in the hour and a half parade. The band will lead alumni and students down Hoover Boulevard, back up University Avenue, and to the Row for the open houses,” Hopper said.
After the parade, the winning floats will be taken to the Coliseum to be displayed at the Homecoming game. The rest of the floats will remain in the parking lot, where the parade disbans, for visitors to see, he said.

Gets Near
Capacity
Turnout
By Maggie Christensen
The opening of Eugene O’Neill’s tragedy, “Beyond the Horizon” last night in Bovard Auditorium was representative of the style that earned O’Neill fame for his “tragic sense.” The characters are from the beginning hopelessly tangled in confused motives and unhappiness and dissatisfaction with their lives. They are assailed with doubt and guilt.
The story is set on a farm in New England. It involves the sons of James Mayo. Robert, a sensitive and lonely, youth who feels that he will find the beauty he seeks over the hills and “beyond the horizon,” plans to leave the commonplaceness of the farm behind and travel the seas on his uncle’s ship. Hjs older brother, Andy,-is “a true Mayo.” a farmer who loves the soil and feels that everything can be found by just staying there and making it the best farm in the county.
Opening Scene The curtain rises on Robert, sitting alone on a wall and reading. His brother joins him and they discuss the trip that Robert will begin the next day. Andy speaks of the closeness they have always enjoyed and tries desperately to understand why his brother wants to leave. He leaves and Ruth, a neighbor, appears. She, too, speaks of the trip and complains of the humdrum life she leads with her invalid mother. Robert declares his love for Ruth and she pleads with him not to leave her. He agrees, with a parting look at the horizon he had hoped to be free to conquer, and the curtain falls.
The rest of the story is concerned with Robert’s declaration that he has decided not to leave, that he will stay, marry Ruth, and become a farmer. His mother and father are relieved, his uncle furious, realizing that he is giving up the only chance he had for happiness.
Love Thwarted Andy, his love for Ruth thwarted. leaves with his uncle instead, carrying the curses of his father with him. Under Robert’s supervision the farm runs down, his father dies, and his wife grows to hate him, and declares her love for Andy. Andy returns, and seeing the hag that Ruth has become, announces his intention of taking up business in Argentina. Robert is completely disillusioned, ill, and hopeless of his future with, Ruth and their baby. He finds his freedom to wander and see what lies beyond the horizon, only with death in the final scene.
As Robert, Faul Phillips turns in a performance both sensitive and believable. He is a polished actor, and his stature carries whatever weakness the production shows. John LeVan’s portrayal of Andy begins rather poorly, but gains maturity as the play progresses. He effectively plays a bumbling farm boy whose outside experiences makes him smarter but does little to increase his understanding.
As Ruth, June Moncur gets off to a bad start and.ends the same way. But she reaches a high point in the scene where she discloses her love for Andy. She seems rather uncomfortable on the stage, but she succeeds in making a stupid, useless creature who will turn to anything for es-caoe from her own mediocrity.
Ducat Pickup Deadline Set
Rooters tickets for the SC-Washington and SC-ULCA games must be picked up at the Service Building by Friday, Nov. 12.

The reason for the advance deadline of the UCLA tickets is that since this year it is the UCLA home game, and all unclaimed tickets must be returned a week before the game, according to i)hn Morley, ticket manager. *
