PHI DELTA KAPPA
According to the No Tobbaco Journal, the University of Southern California is the first great university to open its t doors to the meetings of the No Tobacco league; also first to offer a scholarship for a winning oration on the subject of “Tobacco.5’
The January number of the Journal, which is the official pub-i lication ^f the League, carried a | cut of the new George Finley Bovard Administration building on its cover page, and beneath it a tribute to the school. As a result of this nation-wide publicity Ohio is planning a twelve-college intercollegiate contest in April, and not to be outdone by California some of the twelve colleges have signified their intention of offering scholarships.
BEGAN IN WEST VIRGINIA
It was in a college devotional service back in West Virginia that the No Tobacco League had its inception. A few college students began the study of the causes and effects of the tobacco habit. Oth-er groups in nearby localities began similar classes. Out of this comparatively small beginning the organization has become national in its scope. Judge U. Z. Wiley of Indianapolis, brothe^ of Hon. Harvey Wiley, is its president, and Chas. Fillmore, famous song composer, is its general secretary.
Special attention is called to the noon meeting at which time Dr. Lickley speaks. Dr. Lickley has been working a decade in trying to protect the school children from the juvenile cigaret habit, and because of his position, can speak with authority.
Who But a Woman Would Marry a Man ?
Oh, woman, soul of progress, Venus in life, enigma of ages, all that is beautiful, true and colored; where or in what fields of fancy or meadows of pussy-willows do the reasons for your actions come from? Who but a woman would place her hand in the fire for the purpose of feeling the heat? Who but a woman would marry a man?
Woman was molded by the hands of the creator to become the human question mark; to answer how, when it’s where; to reply who, when it’s why . The sphynx can give but one answer—silence; but woman, not unlike the stone dumbbell, can give many; all of which are as logical as a game of poker.
Man has naturally been made the goat, because it is his lot to ask logical questions; and being the only other human being that will live in the same atmosphere with woman, he is forced to throw his interrogatives to her who molds them into a sort of (Continued on Page 4)

“Newshounds” Prepare To Invade Many City Papers
Trojan “newshounds’ ’are on the qui vive nowadays in anticipation of their first venture of the year in writing and editing a complete newspaper, which is scheduled to take place on February 25. The Hollywood Citizen, a lively and interesting afternoon newspaper, will offer them their opportunity to show the stuff of which editors are made.
Reporters, editors and staff workers will be organized during the coming week under the direction of Lew Wiles, who will act as managing editor of the expedition. He will be assisted by a group of older students in journalism who already have had experience of a like nature on such papers as the Long Beach Telegram, Santa Ana Register, San Bernardino Index. Riverside Press, Whittier News and Venice Vanguard.
Assistant editors and reporters will be picked from the elementary course in journalism and the entire group will be groomed in a professional way for the work on four or five newspapers which are to be completely edited by students during the present semester. Arrangements are now being made with a number of other Southern California papers, it is announced, whereby an out-of-town trip can be made b ystudents at least once each month until June.
ADVERTISERS PRECEDE
In connection with the complete editing of a going newspaper. Marc X. Goodnow, director of journalism, has arranged to send a crew of five advertising students to Hollywood a week in advance of the student publication to sell space for the edition, which is to be known as a “special student edition.’ ’ It is expected that several additional pages of advertising will result from this effort.
Commenting on the proposed trip of U. S. C. students to Hollywood, Judge Harlan M. Palmer, editor of the Citizen, said:
“We’re glad to have you with us on February 25 and can offer you a lively newspaper to try out your hand on. We can see many benefits from this sort of practice among students, and like to encourage the effort in every way that we can. The best way to learn the newspaper business is to roll up your sleeves and get right into it—and I’m sure that from what we’ve heard of the University of Southern California journalists we can expect quite a lot of short sleeves.”

LIBERAL ARTS ENROLLS 2000 FOR SEMESTER
Figures Reported Give U. S. C.
Four Thousand Students in All Departments.
SOME ARE DISQUALIFIED
Men from Other Institutions Find Attempts to Enter U. S. C.
Are Vain.
While final figures for the registration in the off campus colleges are not yet in the registrar’s office, the total University enrollment is estimated at about four thousand. In Liberal Arts and Commerce College there are two thousand already enrolled, with the extension divisions yet to be heard from. Dr. Montgomery expects a small loss over last semester’s total in Liberal Arts, due to some of the first semester students failing to register.
There have been a good many applicants who have disqualified in other universities the last se mester ? *eking to enroll here who have been refused by Dr. Mont gomery. An especially large number of these students have been disqualified at Stanford. The Registrar announces that LL S. C. will not accept any students from another university who could not return to that school on account of scholarship disqualifications.
EARLY REGISTRATION
The plan of urging registration prior to the regular registration days has worked out very well, according to the registrar’s office. Much confusion was this avoided in the office and students were given time for longer consultations with their advisers. Over half of the old students were finally registered before the beginning of the registration rush.
As near as can be ascertained the figures for registration are as follows:
Liberal Arts............2,000
Dentistry............... 475
Law.................... 400
Music .................. 365
Pharmacy .............. 166
Oratory ................ 55
Theology............... 8
High School............ 176

The instructor, a native of China, spoke of the sisterhood between the University of Southern California and Peking University. He emphasized the fact that U. S. C. sent a man to teach English to the Chinese University students. His talk was characterized by a keen sense of humor, frequent applause showing the appreciation of the students.
“Y” BOOK EXCHANGE MOVE HEADQUARTERS
Headquarters for the “Y” Book Exchange has been moved from the Old College to a ticket booth office in the new Administration building. Earnest Judson has had charge of the Book Exchange this semester, and has posted numerous signs about the campus urging the students to help the “Y” and to save themselves money at the same time.
Students acquainted with the quality and prices of books taken in and handled by the Book Exchange appreciate the saving to them, according to Judson. It also affords a clearing house for their old text books, and, he further points out, is a source from which some handy “pin” money may be obtained.
