Rah! Rah! Rah!

The age of chivalry is dead at Southern California as far as football rallies are concerned. No longer will men be afraid of splitting the ear drums of coeds when yelling for the Trojan varsity or singing "Fight On," because the women of Troy will be sitting up in the balconies listening for their masters voices.

No longer will timid members of the masculine contingent be afraid of pouring out the full volume of their lusty lung power for fear the good looking girl across the aisle will think them crude; no longer will they be forced to interrupt the process of making a date with the one-and-only to join in the raucous shouts of the Big T., and under the new plan the men need not be afraid that some other fellow is beating his time, because the co-eds will be sitting in the balconies alone with out benefit of male Trojans.

With the continued scarcity of purchasers of student ticket books, it is apparent that something must be done at once if the famous Trojan rooting section is to maintain its high standard of excellence of former years.

Singing at football games is one of the best ways to sustain enthusiasm, and a large rooting section should be able to make a fine musical showing. However, singing in the Olympic stadium presents a big problem and at their best, school songs do not sound any too loud. Faced by the additional fact that the slow sale of student ticket books will decrease the usual size of the rooting section, it is apparent that something must be done to remedy the situation.
