HAROLD R. DAY, RECEIVER OF
the University seal which the band gave to him in appreciation for the work he accomplished this year, has been the moving spirit behind the organiza* 'n of the biggest college band in the West.
When Day came to the University last year the Trojans had but a small band. The musical men tried to get together to represent their alma mater, but were not successful in having a full aTtendance at the games, and always disbanded at the end of football season. Day took hold of the organization. got the men out to practice, gave them something to think about, offered them greater inducements for the work they did, and created a better spirit of co-operation than the windjammers had heretofore
high school papers.
The menu will be comprised of many interesting dishes such as Tro jan steak. Wampus cocktail (a little bit stewed) and*F.l Rodeo salad (a combination of everything).
DOCTOR TO SPEAK The speakers will be President von KieinSmid, ICxecutive Secretary Stonier. and Professor Emory Olson. Other features will be a skit by the well-known Willie Live and Musty Supher, and a few selections by the S. A. E. orchestra.
All incumbent editors and managers of campus publications are to act as hosts. Norman McKay, president of

Chester McKay, president of the senior class, delivered the address for the graduating class. Mr. McKay spoke on the “Aristocracy of Brains." He challenged the current statements that two-thirds of the students in college should be at work and not In class rooms. McKay told of the aristocracy of brains and how this type of brain was formed in the associations and class rooms at the colleges of today. His speech was concise and

Mistakes there are. true, but those mistakes were incidental to the main purpose. The goal was always for the best welfare of the University and the associated student body.

“The idea of a toll bell is certainly a good one, and will make a unique gift foj the class of ’23," was the opinion expressed by H. J. Stonier. “Students will,. I am sure, take a great pride in the bell as it tolls forth every hour of the day. I -am certainly pleased with the selection that has been made.”
AN UNUSUAL GIFT “The committee is pleased with the enthusiasm that the idea of the bell has aroused,” declared Lewis, in talking over the plans. “We have canvassed the situation thoroughly but can find nothing that would provide as lasting and at the same time as unusual a gift as the one which has been chosen.”

Editor Stands Pat
On Paper's Policy
Divergent opinions are always a healthy sign of progress. As natural, I have found much opposition to the policy followed out in the “Trojan” this year. For this reason I have a great number of enemies in this institution, both in the faculty and the student body.
Where animosity was developed because of a legitimate difference of opinion, I have nothing but respect for the opposition, but where the ill will was incurred because of a narrow point of view motivated by selfishness, my stand remains steadfast. This applies equally to the faculty and to the students.	THE EDITOR.
HAL STONIER WINS GOLF TOURNAMENT
While over at Catalina on a speaking tour, Harold Stonier, executive secretary of the university, found time to step ost and win a golf torrnament. Tho versatile Trojan demonstrated to the goll bugs that he is a satcor to be considered in futdre Sodthern Caliior-nia tournaments when he turned in a card of 78 for the eighteen holes.
Stonier has always been famous about Southern California as a speaker, but the well known prof. has. like Alexander, decided to seek new fields to conquer, hence the olfg. When a man can step out and shoot a 78 for a course he is shooting real golf. First thing we know we will be hear-i ing of a two some in which Gloomy Gus Henderson of football and golf fame, and Stonier will be the principals. Ought to be a good match at that.
WOODEN HORSE SALE
Air of Sophistication Found In“Woodert'Horse”
A critical review of the current "Wooden Horse” brings us to certain obvious difficulties we did not encounter in the January number. For one thing, theer is the matter—but, oh, well, wel'dd do what we can.
Barring a few careless typographical errors, it well approaches the January issue in appearance: it is well arranged, and the printing is beautifully and accurately done.
But as to the contents: while there are some contributions that are de«
cidedly out of place in such a maga-*----------——£•
zine, there is, on the whole, a more authoritative artistic atmosphere than has previously been the case.
That is, there,is a certain air, a tone, a spirit, that stands out and gives it this ineffable quality. One phase is a certain air of sophistication, of protest.
MERELY HUMAN
Lack of space forbids us from dilating at length on individual contributions, hut we will pribflly consider as many as we can.

game, yesterday overwhelmed the as> piring youths by the score of 10 to 9. Playing with a soft ball at an indoor game, the seniors contended, is not like playing with a regular horse-hide on a regular diamond, but the score remains unchanged.
Harley pitched a steady game for the faculty, holding the seniors to a few scattered hits, and used his international diplomatic training to good effect in checking the youngsters’ ambitions for a large score. Claire, for the seniors, tossed the pill for three innings, then turned the embryo medicine ball over to Thornton, who tried hard to keep it somewhere near the platter for one frame. But he tailed, so Bothwell, Collins, and Schiller each tried their hand at the same game.
