COACH EMITS SILENCE
Four Coaches Give Both Teams Stiff Workouts on First Day.

“When wisdom's ways you wisely seek” suggests the maxim and it is evident that the majority of last year’s Trojan luminaries have decided to pursue the road which leads to Learning. Varied and diverting were the experiences of U. S.C.’s handsome heroes and couquet-tish coeds during the “long vacation.”
Merle McGinnis, the present captain of our ship of state, enjoyed the thrilling and unusual (at least, we hope it was unusual for him!) experience of becoming engaged. His

Elmer Henderson, the one-time gloomy one, who never predicts much of anything worth quoting, hasn’t exactly come forward with an announcement that his proteges will trample on to a victory on November 5, but the fact that after about four days of practice he has not chanted one word of a dirge is to be considered as a favorable omen.

“Pursued by the Black Cat” is the poignant plaint of Reeta Walker. This enterprising young lady spent so much of her time searching for the feline creatures which are to be used as decorations at the Annual Hallo’een Party that she insists that they finally turned and pursued her, even in her dre^ns. Paper cats might be compared to sleeping dogs?

Heavy Influx of New Students at Colleges, Report
Liberal Arts Total Reaches 2000, Including Monday’s Total Registration
Big Sisters Hold Reception For New
Attendance Required at
Both Weekly Exercises
LAW HAS MANY TRANSFERS
Dental Expects Unprecedented Crowd of Upper Division Students—Pharmacy Opens Late.
Last minute bulletins from the Registrar’s office fix the number of registered students at Liebral Arts at approximately 2000, including Monday’s total. The College of Commerce reports 358 students to date, indicating an increase of 50 per cent, as compared to a 10 per cent increase in Liberal Arts.
Law has received an unusually heavy freshman influx. The recently imposed pre-legal requirements seem to have had little appreciable effect in reducing the prospective enrollment. Last year Law boasted of 453 students, and theregistration for this year already totals beyond 500. Many of the new faces seen at Law this year are from Eastern schools, from which they have transferred.
Classrooms Filled
Dentistry officials expect the largest freshman class in the history of that college, when the classroom doors open Oct. 3. Because of conditions caused by the war, dentistry has had but few upper division students, but the dean reports that theroster of each class will be overflowing with names of after-the-war registration students.
The College of Pharmacy will not open till Oct. 3. Officials, however, claim that 60 per cent of last year’s graduate students will be back to take up further work in their respective departments. Inquiries concerning the courses offered have flooded the office for the past two months, so that officials predict a record enrollment.
Music opened for students on Sept. 1, and thetotal registration is expected to reach 700. Exact figures were not obtainable, but in comparing the tuition totals an increase of approximately 30 per cent is indicated.
Green Bonnets Beautify Frosh
Freshmen who have foloed themselves into thinking that they would not be compelled to wear the traditional green cap this year wrere much chagrined on finding them on sale this morning at the Administration building ticket office. Pile upon pile of the green things with red visors filled the little room, convincing those who intended to hold out, hoping that there were not enough to go around, that there would be plenty to cover all the masculine heads of the ciass of ’25.
The price this year will be seventy-five cents, a decrease over last year’s price, and, as Merle Maginnis, A.S.B. president, points out, the caps are a decided improvement, artistically speaking, over those worn by ’24.
Harold Williamson, Sophomore president, expects a piece of green on every Frosh head by the end of the week, and, for the peace of the community, it is hoped that all Frosh will make the tremendous purchase on their own initiative.
The caps will be sold by the Trojan Knights, guardians of traditions, who, less lenient than the Sophos promise dire consequences if purchases are not made by Wednesday noon. Due to the reduced price, and the fact that the green bonnet will prove to be a safety cap, Frosh are expected to storm the ticket windows when they open after the initial meeting of the newcomers this noon.

The Architects’ Club of U.S.C. will have its first meeting on Thursday, September 22. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the furtherance of architectural appreciation in the University, the taking in of new members, and the feasibility of allying this organization to a national one of this character. As business will take up the entire time, no program has been arranged.

Gladys Crail, Gladys Stone, Muriel Arkley, Hazel Brown, Annie Mae Lewis, Cassieta Smith, Evelyn Griffin, Clara Gilbert, Josephine Clancy and Winifred Roberts.
Remember, women! The place for every woman in this university Wednesday afternoon, at 2:30, is new college parlors.
Dr. Dillon Bronson, former president of Boston University and world traveler, has been chosen as the first “University preacher” for this semester, and will make his first address in the University chapel today. Dr. Bronson will occupy the position until October 6th, except for one lecture, which will be given on October 4th, by Dr. Paul Micou, a member of the general board of religious education of the Episcopal church.
During the coming year, some of the most widely known and popular preachers and educators will be secured for the bi-weekly meetings. It is proposed to make these meetings a feature of college life.
Attendance will be required at the Tuesday and Thursday lectures. Unexcused absences amounting to over five will result in disqualification of the semester’s work.
Seating will be according to classes and later, the seats will be numbered and inviduals will occupy the same seats at each lecture. Faculty members will occupy the first six rows of the center section. The seats in the center section immediately be-
hind those of the faculty will be reserved for the seniors. The north section will be reserved for the Juniors and the south will be reserved for the Sophomores. The front center section of the balcony will be reserved for visitors, special and graduate students. The Freshmen women will occupy the remainder of the the balcony and the Freshmen men will have the second balcony.
It is hoped by members of the faculty and by student body officers that this step will definitely assist in a new and broader college spirit. The speakers who have been chosen are selected regardless of their religious affiliations.
Every large eastern University has installed a chapel program and everywhere it has resulted in a wider acquaintance between students. The religious exercises will be of a very broad nature and will in no way conflict with religious scruples of various students. The Tuesday lectures will hold more strictly to religious themes, w*hile the Thursday program will be more educational.

10 DEM FROSH
Members of the class of ’24 officially became sophomores at the first meeting of the year, held yesterday noon in room 305. President-elect Harold Williamson became President Harold Williamson, after a short but commanding speech, in which he expressed his policy for a lively, happy and successful year, with due obedience from the frosh.
Vice-President Elsie Mills spoke on the coming freshmen-sophomcre party, but no definite date was set, because of financial details.
After a talk on the subject by Harry Kennedy, it was decided to put on sale as souvenirs, copies of the posters now decorating the campus. Ten cents will be charged for the placards, which are covered by tradition illustrations by Howard Langely.
The challenge to the freshmen for the traditional pushball contest was issued by President Williamson today. The date proposed is Wednesday, the 21st, at 2:15. Class sentiment was highly in favor of vigorous enforcement of traditions, from the use of the center walk by frosh to the wearing of high school jewelry. Mention was made of the form of punishment for violators,"but it was not decided whether the tank or the paddle would be resorted to. Harry Kennedy was unanimously elected as pushball captain.
Class dues were considered, and probably a one dollar fee per semester will be decided upon. No date was set for the next meeting, but it is probable that one will be held early next week.

FROSH TRIUMPH OVER
SOPHS AT STAG-DOINGS
According to the older students who witnessed the “Stag Do,” held Friday night in the university gymnasium, it can be classed among the big campus affairs ever staged at U. S. C. Although the building was packed with freshmen, there was no indication in the green-tinted atmosphere that stagnation was present.
Among the numbers of entertainment that was offered were boxing, hand-soccer, tumbling, games, and a tug-o’-war contest between the sophomores and the Greenites. The Greenite3 won because of their overwhelming weight. One bumptious frosh was heard to say that the pi£h-ball contest would be settled in the same way.
Professors La Porte and Lee spoke briefly on the value of physical education in college life. Dean Rogers gave an address of welcome to the new men.
After the speeches, refreshments were served and this was followed by an extended serenading tour of the faculty homes.
The “Stag Do” was conducted under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A.
