Gridders, Band Will Add Pep To Noon Rally
Trojan talent will highlight tomorrow’s noon rally to be held in Bovard Auditorium, Leroy Barker, rally chairman, announced yesterday.
Don Ward and the Yell Kings, the Trojan Band, plus a host of football personalities will appear at the rally preceding Saturday’s Coliseum tussel with Oregon State.
“I have given up my Hollywood entertainment stand and have resolved to present SC talent,” Barker stated.
“All the student’s criticism has been taken into consideration and tomorrow’s rally will be the result. Many of last week’s controversial problems were unavoidable since we could not obtain Bovard and we do not have a budget with which to work. All our entertainment is free. Tbe performers receive only publicity for their appearances,” Barker added.
Barker’s statements stemmed from comments which have been raised by student leaders and officials concerning last Friday’s rally.
Prior to the rally, the Songs of Troy album will be played._______
26 High School Bands to Play At Half Time
Twenty-six high school bands composed of 3000 musicians, majorettes, pompon girls, and flag twirlers will fill the field at the Coliseum Saturday at the SC-Oregon State game to celebrate 11th Annual High School Band Day and tbe 100th anniversary of the late John Philip Sousa’s birth.
According to Tommy Walker, director of the Trojan Band, this is the biggest High School Band Day in history. Previous to this year, the largest number of participating bands was 16.
The high schools will enter the Coliseum from the tunnel and peristyle steps before the game, and will be joined by the Trojan Band to play the national anthem.
The combined efforts of the 26 bands will dedicate the half time activities to Sousa.
John Philip Sousa IV, 7-year-old great grandson of “The March King” will be a featured conductor. He is going to direct the combined band6 in playing the finale, “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” as they form a big “SOUSA” on the field. He will use one of Sousa’s original batons.
Ralph Rush, head of the music education department at SC, will direct the “U. S. Field Artillery March.” For this number, the 3000 musicians will spell out tbe words, “The March King.”
Then the young musicians will form a Liberty Bell and play Sousa’s march by that name. This number will be directed by William Shaffer, director of the Trojan symphonic band.
Vesey Walker, father of Tommy Walker, will then direct the bands in playing “Finlandia.”
The last number before the finale will be “Semper Fidelis,” Jed by Tommy Walker. The bands will crisscross the field in a geometric design to play this number.
Eighty-two buses will bring the students and their instruments to the Coliseum Saturday morning when they hold their first rehearsal.
Walker designed all the formations in which the high school students will participate and sent instructions to each of the individual bands as to their part in the formations.
It will be a “million dollar show,” according to Walker. Oyer $700,000 worth of musical instruments will be used,, and $250,000 worth of uniforms worn.

Construction of the ’Vails of Troy along Exposition Boulevard has been scheduled to begin Jan. 10, 1955, Greater University Committee Chairman Fred Fagg III announced to the ASSC Senate last night.
The Walls, stretching from Hoover Boulevard to Vermont Street, will be financed by contributions from fraternities, sororities, and other campus organizations. Sections of the Walls will bear plaques acknowledging the contributions, Fagg said.
The price of each unit of the Walls will be determined and bids will be accepted after Nov. 22. According to Fagg, money for the Walls will be collected by Dec. 17.
During the voting on the revision of ASSC by-laws, the Senate turned down, by a 20-8 vote, the proposed Community Aid Committee.

Its chairman would appoint, with Senate approval, the chairmen of Trojan Chest, Troy Camp, the Red Cross Blood Drive and other charity activities. The Community Aid chairman would also coordinate these drives.

HC Ticket Sales To Begin Monday

INTERCULTURAL HALLOWEEN — Saturday night will find the Intereultural Club celebrating Halloween at the Student Lounge. Those planning to don their mask and costume are Lois Kitagawa, Bill Zahawi, and Faria Zahawi. Dancing, games, and other festivities will highlight the party. Non members are invited.
Intereultural Club To Fete Halloween
Supporters of the Committee say the by-law would have been valuable in coordinating the drives and helping the ASSC president supervise them.
Opponents said the by-law would concentrate too much power in the hands of the chairman. They opposed subordinating the heads of the various drives who have always been equal to other ASSC Committee chairmen. They also said that Committee jurisdiction over all campus charity projects would cause too much red tape for groups sponsoring their own individual projects.
The possibility of substituting a musical comedy for the annual \ arsity Show will be investigated by a five man committee, headed by Tyler Gilman.
“We need a decent show in place of the Varsity Show,” Gilman stated, in asking for Senate authorization of the committee.
Trojan Musicos Might Practice At San Quentin
Tommy Walker and the Trojan Band will probably have a practice session at San Quentin Friday before the Stanford game.
It’s not that Troy’s musicians have been bad. Last year the band gave a concert for the inmates of the prison. Since the prisoners enjoyed the music so much, the band has decided to repeat the performance this year.
The band will leave next Thursday night en route to * the Stanford game.
The weirdest party ever—that is how Social Chairman Faria Zahawi describes the forth-coming Intereultural Club Halloween party.
“Saturday night is the traditional night for goblins to howl,” said Miss Zahawi, “and nowhere will they be howling any louder than in the Student Lounge from 8:30 until midnight.
Dancing, games, and other festivities will high’ight the party which is going to be a costume ball. A wide assortment of unusual costumes is expected to fill the lounge, as foreign students are invited to come decked out in their best native regalia.
“We especially want American
students to come,” Miss Zahawi emphasized.
“Black and orange streamers will be strung from comer to corner of the lounge. Stringy wisps of paper will tickle the faces of the unwary. Hideous witches, cats with arched backs, a ghost with mournful groans— these elements all bathed in an eerie green light will greet the eyes of those who attend,” she said
Prizes will be given for the winners of different games. Apple cider and doughnuts will be served during the evening. Admission for non-members will be 50 cents.
Tickets for all Homecoming events will go on sale Monday, Bob Gerst, general manager in charge of sales, said yesterday.

Number Lessened For Helen of Troy
DT Sketch of Troy Walls Prompts Student Comment
By Marilyn Reynolds
“I like it.” “It’s awful.”
These exclamations were heard in response to the sketch in yesterday’s DT of the architect’s proposed view of the Walls of Troy.
The exact design of the Walls will be chosen from the
winning entry in the Walls of |_____________________________________
Troy contest sponsored by the Greater University Committee.
To learn student opinion of yesterday’s drawing a poll was taken.
Raimond Johnson, university architect, refused to comment on the picture. “I think it would be better if I stayed out of this,” he said.
“As f understand it the wall is being put up to keep outsiders off campus,” Tony Brand, Squires member, said. “Therefore it should be taller than suggested in the drawing and definitely should be a solid structure.
“They might as well put up a chicken-wire fence if they’re going to put up one like that,” he added.
Barbara Haberfeld, Tri Delt pledge, said, “I like the wall just as pictured. I think outsiders should be able to see the campus through the walls.”
Jim Mertzel. another Squire, said, “I disagree. If you build the wall solid you’re asking for trouble. UCLA would have so much space for painting the walls before games that the Knights and Squires would be up all night cleaning up the mess.”
“If the wall is high enough, I think Trojan spears between the columns should definitely be used,” Knight President Don Daves said. “After all this campus is eventually going to house many fine, modern buildings and we want to show them off to the public,” he said.
