They are respectively Bronson Howard, the shy professor, and Mildred Goudge, the ambitious spinster.

STANFORD DEBATERS ARRIVE ANNUAL JUNIOR PROM TO MEET TROJANS TONIGHT ls EVENT BOK PEACE PLAN GETS LIGHT VOTE Only Sixty-Four Students Vote j an. Majority F; Winning Idea When the curtain rises on the “Frolics of 1924,” musical comedy, on the evening of February 29. two U. S. C. students will be seen cavorting in two comedy character parts which will rank among the best that have even been presented before the U. S. C. student body. The part of Alosius Bang, a shy professor, is being taken by Bronson Howard. Miss Mildred Go 'dge is to pl y the part of Zimira Knox, eccentric school teacher. Teet Carle, author of the play this year, has made the entire play hinge upon these two parts, and has made the story of their adventures run parallel with the theme for the iove story of the book. OFFER COURSE IN CURRENT HISTORY Dr. Gilliland to Teach Course In Post War Development Next Semester U. S. C. Battles Against Northerners in Bovard Auditorium to Retain Lead in Triangular Contest; Large Crowd Expected By VICTOR COLBURN With the return of the victorious Trojan debate squad from Berkeley, the U. S. C. debaters will tonight engage the representatives from Iceland Stanford University in the final contest of the California-Stanford Triangular degate. U. S. C.’s veterans will again try to defend the Criminal Syndicalism Law of California before an audience of judges. Bill Barber and Jerry Mayo are the men chosen by Coach Nichols to meet the invading tenm. The experience of these men upon the platform in past inter-collegi-te engagements speak but lightly of their abilities. The winning of this debate means the championship of the state so that a victory will place U. S. C. foremost in its debating relationships with ather schools. Q Last year Louis D’Elia and Elroy Remes traveled up to Stanford and were defeated in a very close debate. This year, it is hoped that the score shall be evened. Stanford is perhaps, U. S. C.'s biggest rival as every year they have met the Trojans with teams which far surpassed the average college debate teams, and by all indication they expect to again return to Palo Alto with the armor of the Trojan. This however may prove too great a task. U. S. C.’s men will affirm the question. “Resolved that the Criminal Syndicalism Law of the State of California (Should be Repealed.” It has been stated by Ned Lewis, debate manager that “this debate will undoubtedly tbe the best debate to be held upon the home platform this year. The general subject, the delivery and argumentative humor will be worth the time of even the busiest student. The largest audience in the history of debating is expected. At California about one thousand were in attendance. This indeed was one of the greatest aids to defeating California at Berkeley. At California the new plan of audience decisions was used.

The equipment which consists of ammeters. voltmeters, and wattmeters, is valued by the department to represent an outlayed expense of over fifteen hundred dollars. “We have practically doubled our equipment of electrical measuring instruments,” said Professor Biegler.” We have made a good stari. to acquire the supply of instrument } necessary for mechanical enginee.-ing tests, such as steam engine indicators and calorimeters. Much of the practical steam and gas engine testing is done in the plants arouni Los Angeles, the instruments used for the purpose being studied and alibrated in the laboratory. We are also building new resistance units suitable for loading electrical generators and for controlling smaller currents.” ! For transformer tests the depart-I ment has on order three transform -! ers of special design, from which it i will be impossible to get a higher voltage than 220. The reason for this is to remove the danger of the students getting a serious shock while experimenting in the laboratory. According to Professor Biegler the students of the engineering department are looking forward with joy thinking of all the fun, and incident ally work, they will have with the new equipment. REGISTRATION IS OPEN THIS WEEK Grade Point System of Counting Absences Inaugurated Next Semester Registration for the Second Semester will begin at once and students expecting to ret'irn are urged to attend to their re-registration without delay. Advisors and Heads of Major departments may be consulted in their offices during examination week. The first step is to obtain from the Registrar’s office a temporary enrollment card and then arrange with the faculty advisor a program of studies. It is most important that this be done as soon as possible, as during the registration days, February 6th to 9th, the office will be busy caring for new students. This advance registration will not necessitate immediate payment of fees. The visit to the Treasurer may be made at any time before the first day of recitation, Monday February 11th. Beginning with the second semester a new plan of checking on class absences will be in force. In brief it is as follows: Absences resuit in the loss of credit points. One point will be deducted if the number of absences in any course exceeds the number of class meetings per week with a further deduction of half a point for each additional absence. Thus in a three hour course four absences would result in the loss of one point; six absences, two points and so on. Absence from the first meeting of the semester, from the last meeting before a vacation and the first meeting after a vacation will count double. There will be no excused absences, for any cause. It will be remembered in this connection that grade points are given as follows: A grade of “A" is credited with 3 points for each unit completed; a grade of “B” with 2 points for each unit completed; a grade of “C” with 1 point for each unit completed, and a grade of “D” with no points. Brilliant lighrj, gay music, dazzling even ng gowns beautiful women and some necessary adjuncts in the shape of two hundred and sixty tuxedo garbed males—that was the Junior prom. A shifting kaleodoscope of gay colors snatches of animated conversation. strains of super jazz all combined to make the annual Junior Party held at the Biltmore Hotel last Friday night the social triumph of the year. Two hundred and sixty couples gyrated to the music of the orchestra furnished by Art Hickman for the occasion, and although the floor was pretty well filled the affair in no way partook of a mad struggle as Darties of this kind so o(ten do. The Prom started off with a burst of pep and that pep endured until the final strains of the last encore had faded away and the assembled crowd stood and sang “All Hail.” Nothing was needed to put life into the event, for every person there came with the intention of having one grand time and then proceeded to cirry out that intention to the fullest extent, but when one Elmer Henderson, better known in gridiron circles as Gloomy Gus, announced that Southern California had trim* med Stanford 20 to 17 in the basket ball game in Palo Alto there was a burst of enthusiasm that must have made the Biltmore officials apprehensive for the safety of the million dollar roof of their ball room. Incidentally it is not only in gridiron circles that Elmer Henderson shines. The Gloomy one is some little terpischorean artist as well. All the campus notables were there, everyone had a good time or should have, the favors, leather card cases and memorandum book programs with the seal of the University stamped upon them, were unique and handsome, the program went off without a hitch, so voila! Rehearsals are being held every day in the week for the members of the cast and those in the chorus. Tickets for the production will oe son who is responsible for reporting the names. DR.

The second issue will appear Friday and those attending school for examinations that day will be able to get their capies. Law and Dental Colleges will have classes and the Trojan will be delivered there as usual. Class Presidents to Pass On Sophomore Executive Committee T hat the matter of forming a Sophomore Executive Committee in place of the Sigma Alpha Sigma honorary Sophomore Society be left to the Presidents' Association for embodiment in the Sophomore charter was the decision of the A. S. B. Executive Committee Tuesday evening. This decision was made after a special committee had reported on the matter and after O. H. King had presented a resolution on behalf of the Presidents’ Association. The special committee recommended that the name be changed and that the class elect members instead of allowing the members of the organization to choose its own pledges. This idea was also included in the resolution from the Class Presidents. The matter was therefore tabled pending action of the latter association. SKULL. DAGGER MEETING Very important meeting of Skull and Dagger will be held after chapel today in Harry Silke’s office, in Associated Student Body offices above the Co-operative Bookstore. All members are expected fo be present, Leo CaL land, president, announces. Wampus Personalist Issue Makes Big Hit On Campus Blue Books On Sale In Front of Buildings Representatives of the Associated Students Book Store are to sell the blue books used for exams before the Administration Building and the Old College Building during the period of examinations. This co-operation of the Book Store will enable the students to save a great deal of time which might be used for cramming, and at the same time patronize their store. Al Wesson brought Wampus to th‘-campus last week for the last time. Wesson and his pet have at last parted ways, for Al is leaving school. O. Henry King is the new caretaker of the animal, and none can dispute that he is entitled to the honor. The Personal Number of Wampus measures up to the license number which means that it is one of the best.. However, as in the former case, the title was again miselading. Wampus never once became personal, and all notriety loving students were sadly disappointed. But the magazine was rich ir humor, and that, after all, is the purpose of Wampus. Again the art work was particularly attractive. in fact, the greater number of the drawings were of professional quality far surpassing the quality of drawings to be found in most college comic magazines. The work of Julia Suski was the most noteworthy. Comment upon the literary contents of Personal Number of Wampus is unnecessary. Suffice to say that it was uniformly good. Wesson deserves great praise for bringing Wampus up to its present standard. That O. Henry King will be able to carry on the work is assured by the quality of his numerous contributions to the Personal Number.

The equipment which consists of ammeters. voltmeters, and wattmeters, is valued by the department to represent an outlayed expense of over fifteen hundred dollars. “We have practically doubled our equipment of electrical measuring instruments,” said Professor Biegler.” We have made a good stari. to acquire the supply of instrument } necessary for mechanical enginee.-ing tests, such as steam engine indicators and calorimeters. Much of the practical steam and gas engine testing is done in the plants arouni Los Angeles, the instruments used for the purpose being studied and alibrated in the laboratory. We are also building new resistance units suitable for loading electrical generators and for controlling smaller currents.” ! For transformer tests the depart-I ment has on order three transform -! ers of special design, from which it i will be impossible to get a higher voltage than 220. The reason for this is to remove the danger of the students getting a serious shock while experimenting in the laboratory. According to Professor Biegler the students of the engineering department are looking forward with joy thinking of all the fun, and incident ally work, they will have with the new equipment. REGISTRATION IS OPEN THIS WEEK Grade Point System of Counting Absences Inaugurated Next Semester Registration for the Second Semester will begin at once and students expecting to ret'irn are urged to attend to their re-registration without delay. Advisors and Heads of Major departments may be consulted in their offices during examination week. The first step is to obtain from the Registrar’s office a temporary enrollment card and then arrange with the faculty advisor a program of studies. It is most important that this be done as soon as possible, as during the registration days, February 6th to 9th, the office will be busy caring for new students. This advance registration will not necessitate immediate payment of fees. The visit to the Treasurer may be made at any time before the first day of recitation, Monday February 11th. Beginning with the second semester a new plan of checking on class absences will be in force. In brief it is as follows: Absences resuit in the loss of credit points. One point will be deducted if the number of absences in any course exceeds the number of class meetings per week with a further deduction of half a point for each additional absence. Thus in a three hour course four absences would result in the loss of one point; six absences, two points and so on. Absence from the first meeting of the semester, from the last meeting before a vacation and the first meeting after a vacation will count double. There will be no excused absences, for any cause. It will be remembered in this connection that grade points are given as follows: A grade of “A" is credited with 3 points for each unit completed; a grade of “B” with 2 points for each unit completed; a grade of “C” with 1 point for each unit completed, and a grade of “D” with no points. Brilliant lighrj, gay music, dazzling even ng gowns beautiful women and some necessary adjuncts in the shape of two hundred and sixty tuxedo garbed males—that was the Junior prom. A shifting kaleodoscope of gay colors snatches of animated conversation. strains of super jazz all combined to make the annual Junior Party held at the Biltmore Hotel last Friday night the social triumph of the year. Two hundred and sixty couples gyrated to the music of the orchestra furnished by Art Hickman for the occasion, and although the floor was pretty well filled the affair in no way partook of a mad struggle as Darties of this kind so o(ten do. The Prom started off with a burst of pep and that pep endured until the final strains of the last encore had faded away and the assembled crowd stood and sang “All Hail.” Nothing was needed to put life into the event, for every person there came with the intention of having one grand time and then proceeded to cirry out that intention to the fullest extent, but when one Elmer Henderson, better known in gridiron circles as Gloomy Gus, announced that Southern California had trim* med Stanford 20 to 17 in the basket ball game in Palo Alto there was a burst of enthusiasm that must have made the Biltmore officials apprehensive for the safety of the million dollar roof of their ball room. Incidentally it is not only in gridiron circles that Elmer Henderson shines. The Gloomy one is some little terpischorean artist as well. All the campus notables were there, everyone had a good time or should have, the favors, leather card cases and memorandum book programs with the seal of the University stamped upon them, were unique and handsome, the program went off without a hitch, so voila! Rehearsals are being held every day in the week for the members of the cast and those in the chorus. Tickets for the production will oe son who is responsible for reporting the names. DR.

The second issue will appear Friday and those attending school for examinations that day will be able to get their capies. Law and Dental Colleges will have classes and the Trojan will be delivered there as usual. Class Presidents to Pass On Sophomore Executive Committee T hat the matter of forming a Sophomore Executive Committee in place of the Sigma Alpha Sigma honorary Sophomore Society be left to the Presidents' Association for embodiment in the Sophomore charter was the decision of the A. S. B. Executive Committee Tuesday evening. This decision was made after a special committee had reported on the matter and after O. H. King had presented a resolution on behalf of the Presidents’ Association. The special committee recommended that the name be changed and that the class elect members instead of allowing the members of the organization to choose its own pledges. This idea was also included in the resolution from the Class Presidents. The matter was therefore tabled pending action of the latter association. SKULL. DAGGER MEETING Very important meeting of Skull and Dagger will be held after chapel today in Harry Silke’s office, in Associated Student Body offices above the Co-operative Bookstore. All members are expected fo be present, Leo CaL land, president, announces. Wampus Personalist Issue Makes Big Hit On Campus Blue Books On Sale In Front of Buildings Representatives of the Associated Students Book Store are to sell the blue books used for exams before the Administration Building and the Old College Building during the period of examinations. This co-operation of the Book Store will enable the students to save a great deal of time which might be used for cramming, and at the same time patronize their store. Al Wesson brought Wampus to th‘-campus last week for the last time. Wesson and his pet have at last parted ways, for Al is leaving school. O. Henry King is the new caretaker of the animal, and none can dispute that he is entitled to the honor. The Personal Number of Wampus measures up to the license number which means that it is one of the best.. However, as in the former case, the title was again miselading. Wampus never once became personal, and all notriety loving students were sadly disappointed. But the magazine was rich ir humor, and that, after all, is the purpose of Wampus. Again the art work was particularly attractive. in fact, the greater number of the drawings were of professional quality far surpassing the quality of drawings to be found in most college comic magazines. The work of Julia Suski was the most noteworthy. Comment upon the literary contents of Personal Number of Wampus is unnecessary. Suffice to say that it was uniformly good. Wesson deserves great praise for bringing Wampus up to its present standard. That O. Henry King will be able to carry on the work is assured by the quality of his numerous contributions to the Personal Number. |
