No. 62
LAW SCHOOL CHALLENGED the I other colleges of the University to produce as quickly as they the 100 per cent student support, which student leaders are extremely anxious to see accomplished.
Now that the drive is actually under way, the students will find that work is the main essential to success. Work, then, is the slogan that must he adhered to today and tomorrow.
FRIDAY NIGHT WILL tell the story of the support of the students. Until then the city will have to wait to know how thoroughly the students are themselves interested in their own University.
The tale will either make or break U. S. C.
If every student does his best, subscribes some amount, whether it be one dollar or one million dollars, the result wilt never be in doubt.
But the story as to whether the students are supporting their cause in full measure of devotion cannot be fully determined until the campaign is over. From indications now, one would be led to believe that the ambition to see the 100 per cent showing of the students is not only possible, but probable.

PRESIDENT VON KLEINSMID
gave an inspiring talk to the student body yesterday, in which he explained the vision he has of the future I'. S. C.
University of Chicago, he claims, was at one time in similar need of funds. Today it has an endowment of forty millions, and it is still growing.
T-ue, the administration of the University has not taken an active part in the formation of the student campaign response. As Dr. von KieinSmid said, the leaders of the University student body were called together, and from then on it was not a question of urging them to their utmost, it was a question of answering the problems they brought up to be solved. In cooperation. then, with the experts in organization, the student body of U. S. C. is putting on its own campaign.

We was to a dance the other jiiK it and she said 1 was trying to Chicago with her but being real quick like ihat 1 told her that it was o ity the Evanston which is near Chicago. Then she got jealous because I danced so much with Diana Might who is sure a nice girl. Kinda touchy though and has to be handled easy. She reminds me of Ruth Canary who I saw eating in a restaurant the other day.

With the California meet looming in the offing. interest around the Bovard field track is warming up considerably. The members of the royal order of the spiked shoe are getting down to the hardest kind of work in preparation for the pleasant task of handing the Bruin cinder stars a surprise package in the shape of the low end of the score.
To do this little stunt isn’t going to be quite so simple as to write about it. however. The Golden Bears always have a strong track and field aggregation, and this year will be no exception. For the past two years the men from Berkeley have proceeded to dust the track with all Pacific Coast contenders and then journey Eastward to repeat their little act in the National Intercollegiate meet. Incidentally they have gotten away with it. Intercollegiate champions of the United States two years in succession isn't such a bad record.
NEW FORMS TO FLASH Variety adds considerable spice to life, however, according to the philosophers. and this year Dean Cromwell and a good many others around the Trojan Institution who are in favor of giving the theory a trial. So when the representatives of the Golden Bear take their jaunt down to the Trojan home the 17th of this month they are* going to have the fight, of their young lives to retain their laurels. Trojan track men are out for that title held by the. Bears, and they hope to piake a good start, toward attaining tlreir ambition by taking the big end of tiie argument from their Northern rivals on the 17th.

Prize Joke of Year Finally Discovered
“Why, I didn't know we were having a campaign to raise ten million dollars for the University.” So said one prominent young freshman co-ed, who belongs to a sorority whose members have discussed the endowment drive for several weeks, who professes to read the “Trojan” occasionally, and who has a seat in chapel assigned to her.
“F.ddie” Experts to Develop a Boxing l eam of Best Class
Trojan knuckle throwers are making a grand perparation to feed the Golden Boar from Berkeley, California, enough dried leather in the first intercollegiate boxing contest of the season that is to take place in the U. S. C. gymnasium on March 16. to keep them alive for the remaining of the boxing season, according to "Mister” Eddie Mattis, coach of the Trojan boxing squad.
Much interest has been shown by the students in the boxing activity this year. Many young boxers have and are aspiring to push the leathers for the Cardinal and Gold institution Many new' men have taken the place of the last year letter men.
BUILD A GOOD TEAM
Mattis claims that his proteges this vear will build a boxing team that will hold their own with the best in the country in amateur ranks. The team this year is composed of all styles of fighting. Speed, class, toughness, endurance and skill is its make up. With the material present. Mattis is of the belief that he can build up one of the most powerful aggregations in the Western circuit.
Van Holder, a gentleman boxer from Dental, will be the U. S. C. representative against the heavyweight from the North. Van Holder is considered by Mattis as a dangerous boxer. He is a hard puncher and fast.
Trojans on the campus seem to be very well satisfied to have “Cannonball” Baker among the varsity mitt men. Baker will defend the laurels CCON'TIX'CRP ON PAGE ?,)
Second series of debates under the auspices of the Southern California Conference will be held on Friday night throughout the colleges of the Southland. University of Southern California's debating teams will engage in a verbal warfare with the Hranch of the State 'University in the Old College Auditorium and with the University of Redlands at Redlands.
“Resolved, That the United States should adopt the Cabinet-Parliamentary form of Government,” is to he the question of debate.
NEGATIVE MEETS S. B. U. C.
Clarence Wright and Bernard Brennan will speak for the Trojans on the nega'ive side of the proposition at U. S. C. against the Southern Branch. In the last debate Wright and Brennan showed their superiority in the line of forensics over the Whittier debaters. At no time during the debate was their ability and superior speaking questioned. It is understood that the squad from Southern Branch will be more of an obstacle to the Cardinal and Gold orators than the other foreign debating teams. Coach Nichols states that the debate to be held in the Old College Auditorium might prove to be an upset of the dope concerning the chances of the Branch.
