OXMAN TELLS OF STUDENT RELIEF TODAY
Prominent Men Endorse European Activity of Universities and Men
STUDENTS ASKED TO AID
May Contribute Funds at Chapel Entrance; No Drive Made, However
It Was Sure a Bear of a Party
By LAURENCE N. SCHULTZ
Bromley Oxnam, world traveler and a member of the U S. C. faculty, has been secured as the speaker at today’s assembly. The assembly will be given over to an explanation of the needs of European students. Mr. Oxnam, during the past summer, traveled through England, Germany, and Poland, and observed the conditions existing there.
Final arrangements for the European Student Relief Fund, which has been approved by the University authorities, were completed at a meeting of the All-University committee held last Thursday afternoon in Dr. Hedley’s office. Pamphlets relating to the work of the European Relief Fund work will be given to the students upon entering chapel. There will be no drive for funds as has been the case in movements of this type. Ticket booths in the front of the building have been secured where students, who feel that the need is great, can give their contributions to the representatives of the All-University com inittee stationed there. There is no compulsion to give, except the call of a “worthy cause.”
ALL UNIVERSITIES PARTICIPATE
All the big universities in America will be having the same drive, and many noted educators, presidents of leading universities are giving their personal efforts. U. S. C. has never before participated in a movement of this kind, and the All-University committee believes that the Trojan will respond to the call of Europe’s needy students.
That the movement uas worth is shown by the sponsorship of Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Dr. James Angell, president of Yale; John G. Hibbin, president of Princeton: John R. Mott, Jane Addams. Lord Robert Cecil and many others of international fame. The movement takes no heed of race, nationality, creed, or of any other criterion except that of proven need.
“The need is vital. It is for the students of America to help their brothers in Europe during their time of need. It is time that we as students help to lay secure foundations for th*e rebuilding of the shattered international structure. It is a privilege, if in America, we can help, at least, to further the hope of the future, which lies in the education of the coming generation. We are counting on every Trojan to do his part. Let us forget self and nationality and yield a sympathetic, understanding hand to the n-^edy students overseas.” state the chairman of the All-University committee.
Several alchemists spent Armistice Day and Saturday prospecting in the Gavilan Mountains. Among the important discoveries made was the pal-atability of fresh ripe olives by Dr. Calvert, which we informed him later was one of the important steps in the initiation of a new Californian.
At a late hour Friday night we were all startled by a shrill scream from little “W’anna” Stoneham, who had been rudely awakened by hearing a mosquito walking in the woods. After hopeless attempts to pacify the youngster we finally left her to sob herself to sleep in the arms of our chaperone. POET AND BEAR Great excitement reigned in camp early Saturday morning when WTilson came tearing into camp breathless, after a five-mile run down the canyon, pursued by a big black bear. The poet informed us that at each step the bear licked his heel and breathed his hot breath on the tendon of Achilles. Dr. Calvert bravely set forth to avenge the assault upon one of our members, and succeeded in treeing the bear, who had never in his life before seen such a display of courage as that of Ph.D. Here it was discovered that the bear was wearing on his left front foot Mabel Wilson’s golf stocking, which had disappeared during the night. Ph.D .finding his carbine, called Schultz to the rescue with his young Austrian cannon of caliber thirty-eight. Five shots through the heart frightened bruit so that he shivered and shook until he turned white and became a polar bear. He soon died of suffocation, not being acclimated to our Southern California climate. His last triumphant sigh was 38 to 7.
After a long hike Saturday morning we returned to camp, heavily laden with tin and gold ore and lemon juice. A visit to the citric acid plant in Corona also featured the trip. We were forced to return minus one beloved Ph.D., as the last seen of him was as he was hot footing it to the nearest Western Union office to inform his parents in Oklahoma City that he was as yet untouched by poison oak.
VARSITY FETED AT AMBASSADOR BY S.C. ALUMNI
Capt. Charlie Dean and Team Are Received Enthusiastically by Loyal Trojans
PERKINS IS TOASTMASTER
Byron C. Hanna and Harry Williams Were Speakers of the Evening
TO S.C. MUSIC MS
If the U. S. C. varsity had defeated the “wonder team” by twice the score recorded against them, their reception at the greater alumni banquet last Saturday evening at the Ambassador Hotel could not have been more enthusiastic. Speeches, guests and the dinner all contributed to the success of the evening, with approximately two hundred men, including the thirty-five gridiron players who traveled to California, present. #
Voltaire Perkins presided as toastmaster, and introduced Mr. Byron C. Hanna, the speaker of the evening, who delivered an eloquent address on “The Relation of Football to Commerce.”
Harry A. Williams, sport writer of the Los Angeles Times, gave an interesting talk on the newspaper man’s version of collegiate football, and was very well received.
CHARLEY DEAN, ORATOR Because Coach Henderson was at California making arrangements for the 1922 schedule, “Captain Charley was called upon for a few words. He was followed by Assistant Coach Hunter, who also regretted that “Gloomy Gus” was absent. Both were well received.
Dr. Milbank Johnson, who knows the game from the angle of the man who follows it with the little black satchel, gave a talk from his point of view. C. E. Millikan, of the College of Law, also delivered an address. LETTERS OF CONGRATULATION Tully C. Knoles, president of the College of the Pacific, who was unable to be present, sent his spirit in the form of a letter of congratulations to Coach Henderson and the team.
A letter was also read from Miss Julia McCorkle, president of the Women’s Alumni Association.
This banquet is the first of an annual tribute to the varsity football teams.

Ned Lewis took first place in the annual Bowen Cup Contest, held in the Auditorium, last Thursday morning, during chapel. Merle McGinnis and Harry Armstutz tied for second honors. Jack Flaherty placed fourth, followed by Royal Riddle and Clifford Davis in fifth and sixth places. These six men will receive the Bowen Cups. The question chosen for the debate was, “Resolved, That the United States should cease all further additions to its armaments for a period of ten years.”
UNIVERSAL SUBJECT
The timeliness of the subject chosen by those in charge of the contets was shown by the fact that Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes proposed that the leading nations at the Disarmament Conference follow practically the same couse of action as proposed in the debate at U. S. C.
It happened that the ten speakers in the contest were about evenly divided on the subject as set forth. Both sides of the question were stated and defended by an equal number of adherents.
There was not very good order in the auditorium when the last few contestants spoke. Those in change of the contest state that the students did not show a very commenbable spirit in their conduct.
All of the men who tried out gave good speeches, according to Professor Blanks. “The speaking was excellent. The subject was handled in a fine fashion.”
Five of the speakers in the Bowen Contest represented the university in the Disarmament Conference, held at Pomona College, Armistice Day, which was fostered by the Carnegie Institute. Armstutz, Riddle, Monroe, Alviar and Davis were the men who were able to go to the Conference as representatives from U. S. C.
Furnished their first opportunity to show in some concrete way their support of U. S. C. traditions, the Freshmen women will be reminded of their status at 12 o’clock today. Immediately after chapel the sale of armbands will open at the north ticket window. On the complete roll of the women of '25 the names of the buyers will be checked off. Those who fail to purchase the gaudy trifles will be left to the mercy of the Amazons. *The bands are priced at twenty-five cents.
PRACTICE FOR FROSH
Music lovers enjoyed a real treat Thursday afternoon when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra gave a concert in the new Bovard Auditorium. The concert was the first attraction oftered by the LTniversity “Great 13 Eveny.”
The program was made up completely of classical numbers. The following concerts will be made up of standard and modern selections.
The concert Thursday called for a full symphony orchestra. Heretofore the Los Angeles Philharmonic had never used all of its players in the concerts given in the local high schools and colleges. The program was also distinguished by the fact that it was free from the more popular and less difficult selections usually featured in school concerts.
ACOUSTICS SATISFACTORY
Students of the University had their first occasion last Thursday to test the acousitcal qualities of the Bovard Auditorium as a concert hall. The building left nothing to be desired.
Regarding the work of the orchestra, perhaps no greater compliment could be paid to the organization than to say that it lived up to its reputation, and that is exactly what the Philharmonic did in the Bovard Auditorium last Thursday. Conductor W’alter Rothwell led the musicians with his usual skill, and the interpretation of the numbers ap-(Continued on Page 2)
Would-be Debaters To Turn In Names This Week
Not content with singeing the nostrils of the California bear, the U. S. C. freshmen splashed into the College of the Pacific for 42 points Saturday afternoon on the home diamond. Although outclassed and outweighed, the San Jose boys fought all throough the battle and their hard-earned goose egg came close to hatching into a golden egg several times during the fracas.
From the time Tyrrell tickled the pigskin in the nose for a forty-yard boot the game was a fight. Nourmand and Knowles made substantial gains against the green line. During the first few minutes of play Nourmand was moved by some spirit and he broke away for a 30-yard gain; but due because some Pacific man hung on to a peagreeners’ pants and rode for a ten-yard gain the ball was called back and the orange and black was penalized fifteen-yards for hopping a ride.
After the kick the peagreeners woke up and ^turned on the head lights. They serpentined down the field, urged on by the stellar work of Anderson and Clark. Anderson bucked over the line for the only tally in the first half. Newberry rung thejjell by adding the seventh point.

Southern Triangular Contest Comes in January with Trip East Later
All students who desire to compete for places on the University of Southern California debating teams during the current year are requested to leave their names with Roland Maxwell, in the office of the debating manager at 3603 University avenue, before Thursday, November 17th, at 2 p. m. The number of contests contemplated will probably make at least four teams necessary, so that all prospective debaters are urged to present themselves for trial in order that the University may be represented with its most powerful combinations.
The Occidental-Pomona triangular contest has been tentatively set for the first part of January. Debates with the University of Arizona and the College of the Pacific will follow during the first part of the second semester, and negotiations are under way for a contest with Leland Stanford University during the latter part of February.

Prof. Carus, of the College of Commerce, took his class in foreign trade to Los Angeles Harbor on Tuesday, Nov. 8th. Leaving the campus of the University at 8:30 o’clock, they motored to San Pedro in four machines, arriving at slip five, at the end of Canal street, in less than an hour. Proessors Eberle and Fagan accompanied them.
At slip five the party boarded a high-powered speedboat provided for them through the courtesy of Mr. Wade of the Harbor Commission, and crossed the channel to the Vegetable Oil Products Company. Here they were received with all kindness, being conducted through the plant at their own pleasure. The outstanding feature of interest was the weighing device that this concern employs for obtaining the weight of the crude product. It consisted of a series of huge (Continued on Page 2)
HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
PLANS FOOD BAZAAR
Aiming to create cordial relations among the girls in the department and to get a viewpoint of the field a Home Economics Club has been organized on the campus. The first activity of which the club will have charge is the Home Economics Bazaar, which will be held on November 21 and 22. Cakes, cookies, candies and novelties will be on sale in front of the New Building, in the Arcare.
There will also be a sale of cookies and candies at the Dental College.
Second of the Great 13 Events, and first of the student attractions in the series, “The Great Galeoto,” Jose Echegaray’s famous drama, will be presented by Lance and Lute on the stage of the Bovard Auditorium next Thursday night.
The play will mark the first presentation of a standard play at U. S. C. in a number of years. Many critics have classed Echegaray as the greatest playwright of the nineteenth century, and he has often been rated as Spain’s leading dramatist. Of his numerous plays, “The Great Galeoto” has been the most successful. Paris, London. New York, Berlin and Madrid have received the play both as an artistic and commercial success.
HAS UNIQUE THEME Despite the commercial success, “The Great Galeoto” is recognized as an epoch-making drama. The play is unique in that its theme is idle talk. Its chief character is the great babbling public, the “they” of the expression “they say.” According to Echegaray, “they” is a monster. The public is seldom malicious in its talk, yet idle gossip could not affect more harm upon individuals, were it deliberately calculated to be destructive, than it does now, is the substance of Echegaray’s tragedy.
“The Great Galeoto” is also noteworthy as an example of plot construction. Echegaray, besides being a dramatist, was in addition a mathematics instructor at the Escuela at Madrid, and, as might be expected, the plot of “The Great Galeoto” is developed with the mathematical precision of a problem in geometry. The action in each act is systematically built up, leading to a dramatic close, the curtain always coming down upon a dramatic scene. Like a perfect pattern, the arising of complications, and the subsequent solution of the problem, hinges on the intense climax of the third act.
THE GREAT GO-BETWEEN In the old Arthurian romances, Galeoto was the go-between in between Gweneviere, Lancelot, and King Arthur. Galeoto never meant to start trouble, still he was the cause of much misery. Similarly, according to Echegaray, idle talk is the great Galeoto of present-day society, the great go-between in between the public and the individual. “It usually starts with a lie,” says Echegaray, “then is followed by complication, and in the end we find that it was the truth.”
The presentation of the Spanish drama will be preceded by a one-act curtain raiser, “The Honorable Togo,” a comedy dealing with the troubles of a Japanese butler. Those in the cast of “The Honorable Togo” are Lucy Levering, Joseph Ryan and John Oliver. The play was written by Harl Mclnroy, who is now organizing a repertory theater in Los Angeles.
Before the half was over. Nourmand and Knowles again had the freshmen calling hymn numbers in order to stall off the heavy offensive operations pointed their way. But the S. C. line held on the twenty-yard mark; and Anderson’s long punting kept the Pacific men in their own territory until the half was called.
The half was featured by the absence of both teams and the superb head work of a couple of hundred children who took the field amid the cheers of the audience. The kids did their best to show the turn out ihe thrills of forward passing and dog piling combined; and their exhibition was entirely a success, because everybody forgot that they had paid their money to see a football game.
Coach Ofstie must have fed his proteges on goal dust, because they couldn’t see anything in the third quarter but goal ilnes and more points. Three times the peagreeners tasted the chalk around the Pacific goal posts in this quarter. Once Tyrrell intercepted a pass and dragged himself 35 yards to his destination. Riddle and Anderson plunged over for the other two touchdowns. All in all, the fireworks in this third period were surprising.
OPEN PLAY
In the fourth quarter Ofstie sent in fresh men, who scored two more touchdowns over the orange and black. The northerners' opened up with basket full of passes, but due to the trick build of Kirkpatrick, “Leadingham the second,” the aerial offensive was shot full of holes.
This is the last game of the season for the freshmen, and the game with the College of the Pacific marks the engraving on the mile stone of a successful season. In speaking of mile stones, it is safe to add that in the case of some teams that the frosh went up against they turned out to be tombstones.

PHIL FARMAN BADLY HURT
Phil Farman, law student and editor of the College of Law annual for this year, was severely cut about the face Sunday afternoon when an auto in which he was riding was driven squarely into a telephone pole by a speeding machine, throwing his head against the windshield, which shattered and cut gashes in his forehead and lower lip. His lower teeth were loosened and minor body bruises sustained, but there were no dangerous wounds. The accident occurred at McClintock avenue and 35th place.
His mother, Mrs. C. H. Farman, received a number of bad bruises about the face and body, while two cousins, Margaret and Rolland Pearson, were unhurt.
Assistance was given at the home of Mrs. N. A. Freeman nearby, and the injured persons were taken t*> the receiving hospital and later Phil went to the Methodist hospital, while Mrs. Farman was able to go to her home. He will be at the hospital for a number of days, according to the doctor in charge.
