Sub Base Cleaned Up
By Sarah Taft Somers
(One of the Thirteen)
Somewhere at some time somebody superstitiously said that thirteen was unlucky. That the unluckiest thing that could possibly happen to anyone was to dine at a table with thirteen, ride in a car with thirteen or travel on a party with thirteen. But things have changed since the war—the Republicans will say. since they got into office. It makes no difference anyway, thirteen isn’t unlucky any more—it’s lucky!
Opps They Are
Thirteen Opps (Opps because they were optimistic) most ably led by Dr. Lowrey, better known to the Opps as Pappa Opps, spent the most delightful summer over there, and incidentally put the luck in thirteen.
Nima Norman, a demure little S. C. maid, Marjorie Taylor, a self sufficient grand; Redge Olds, one of last year’s tennis sharks: Miss Edith March, who liistoried at S. C. for six special hours last year; Sarah Taft Somers, loyal to S. C. always; “Johnny” Robinson, versatile Trojan, and Dr. Lowrey (Pappa Opp, about whom too many good things could not be said) represented the University of Southern California in the Opp thirteen.
Others were Miss Aleatha Bryan, a Dana Hall miss; her father and mother. “George” and “Nannie”; incidentally. “George” was a banker from Washington, D. C., and proved an ever
the Victorian, headed homeward on a rough and rocky ride, the “Opps” were “opping” hither and thither and yon.
“See Naples and Die”
So said some famous Italian—but the Opps agreed that after seeing Naples they felt more fit to live. They wandered through the ancient streets of Pompeii; drove over the most beautiful drive in the world, Amalfi; rowed into the heavenly blue grotto; roamed the city of Rome; favored the flower spot of Florence, and gondoled ’neath the pale Venetian moon.
Johnny had his picture taken on every rostrum, quoting bits from the famous speeches of Cataline, Caesar and Mark Anthony. He haunted the post card shops and filled his portmanteau with modern relics of warfare.
Oh, Gay Paree!
In Switzerland “Johnny” lost his passport and had to remain behind. There he was the guest of the American consul. He arrived in Paris a day late, but lost no time, however, in seeing the sights (ask him sil voul plait). Oh, folly! Really there seems to be no necessity of learning French. The girls over there understand intuitively.
In Flanders fields Sarah Taft Somers and “Jehnny” Robertson gathered some poppy seed which they intend to plant in a wee little corner of the University garden in the spring.

Dame Rumor lias it that an organization of women, similar in purpose and formation to the “Trojan Knights,” is soon to make its debut on the campus. This group, probably consisting of ten women from each of the four classes, may be called “Trojanettes.” Their task will be to see that the women of the university (especially the fresli-women), keep the traditions.
Although frosh men are easily distinguishable by their green caps, the girls wander about without being able to recognize tliei rown kind. They gaze wistfully at the caps of their fellow classmen, and sigh, “Aren’t they cunning? The loyal Trojanettes would eliminate their cause for discontent by allowing the youngsters to wear the traditional green ribbon. School has been going on for more than a month, and green ribbons for the girls have not been mentioned. “Trojanettes, ye are needed,’ cry the thinking women of U.S.C.
An ancient tradition, if that frosh women shall not have dates with up-perclasscmen. Is it being kept? Dame Rumor says “It is NOT.” She mentions no names, but says that freshman girls are continually vamping juniors, yea, seniors. Even the captain o fthe varsity football team is not immune from thei rwiles, says the Dame. If the Trojanettes were now organized and on the job. such things could not happen.
So all together now, in the old way —Trojanettes, rah, rah, rah. Trojanettes!

Twenty-five meniDers of the Sophomore class are carrying receipt books around with them, and are wearing worried expressions. They have paid their class dues, and are trying to make all the other Sophomores do likewise. Means of persuasion are many and varied to make people do their simple duty.
A favorite method is this: Collector (brightly)—“Oh, you’re a Sophomore, aren’t you?”
Unsuspecting victom—“Yes.”
Collector (sternly)—“Have you paid your class dues?”
The usual answer is in the negative, and the victim hurries off with a promise to pay tomorrow. The next day he spends his time evading the collector and trying to figure some way out of this obligation.
Nobody gives a downright refusal, but it does not require a ouja board to see what they mean. Some few search out the collector and voluntarily hand over a dollar, saying that they want to pay their class dues. Those blessed few!
There is, however, one absolutely sure way of getting the money. Borrow a dollar and seventy-five cents from a Sophomore. Then, when you pay it back, say, “By the way, I will just give you the seventy-five cents, and the dollar will be for your dues. Here is your receipt. Thank you.” This method never fails.
In this instance virtue has a reward in the near future, for a black list of those who do not pay will be made public.

Thirteen events, thirteen different shows by thirteen organizations, at a cost of not much more than thirteen cents apiece, are to be the features of the University Series, the tickets for which are to go on sale next week. Not only are all the great events of the year, such as the Junior Play, the Senior Road Show and the other school productions, included in this series, but a number of outside attractions are to be given. It has been estimated that this entertainment would cost at least thirty dollars, and the students are offered the entire list of productions for a sum not much more than the price of two of the attractions as they were given last year.
Proceeds Aid Stage
In purchasing a season ticket the student is also aiding the school, as the profits are to go to the equipping of the stage to meet the requirements for successfully presenting the dramatic productions to be given this season. The tour of the University Glee Club is also included in the budget, and their home concert will form one of the series.
A glance at some of the outside productions will convince the average student that the tickets are well worth the cost. The Philharmonic Orchts-tra of Los Angeles; Helen Stanley, lyric soprano; Cecil Fanning, lyric baritone, and Alice Gentle, dramatic soprano, are all scheduled to appear.
Lance and Lute Date
The student that does not provide himself with a season ticket may be disappointed when his favorite production is given. Only a few single admission tickets will be sold, and these will cost the purchaser nearly one-third the price of the season ticket.
Lance and Lute have scheduled their production for November 17, and the cast are hard at work with the rehearsals. The play is to be Echegarey’s famous drama, “The Great Galeoto,” with Ruth Seaver in the leading role as Teodora. Other parts are to be taken by C. Noll, Grant Kuhns and others that are well known upon the campus for their dramatic ability.

Friendly Bunch candied apple special, October 27. Watch for them!
Dr. Rufus V. von Kleinsmid stopped at the university last Monday, on his way to attend the biennial meeting of the California Teachers’ Associtaion— Northern Section, at Sacramento, October 18 to 21, where he gave a series of three lectures on educational matters. The new president of U.S.C. visited the campus and the neighborhood with Warren G. Bovard, comptroller of the university, staying only a few minutes and meeting only a small number of people. According to Dr. Montgomery, the main purpose of the president’s visit was to secure a house in the vicinity of the school.
During his short stay in the city, Dr. von KleinSmid declined to take up any university questions until he comes to take up his active administration duties. No definite information is given as to when he is to take up his residence and work at the university. One report from the Registrar’s Office gives the time of his “permanent arrival” at “some time after the first of the year,” but this is not definite.
WThile at the Association meeting, Dr. von KleinSmid spoke on “The Genius of Americanism,” “Problems of the Secondary School,” and “Educational Responsibilities.” Another member of the university faculty, Dr. Lester B. Rogers, Dean of the School of Education, gave a series of lectures at the same meeting.
One hundred per cent membership and then some is the result of the Engineers’ drive which has been held during the past three weeks. Starting with a membership of forty-eight and ending with an enrollment of 169 is the achievement of the U. S. C. chapter of the A. A. E. Yesterday, Charles Miller, president of the local chapter, said: “We have enrolled every man taking engineering and a number who are not engineers but take engineering subjects.”
Two trophy cups are the prizes offered by the National A. A. E. in this drive, which has been carried on all over the nation. One cup goes to the student chapter obtaining the highest per cent of enrollment, and the other, the Directors Cup, goes to the student chapter which shows the largest per cent of increase. U. S. C. has won the first cup and stands a splendid chance of winning the second, as the per cent of increase is over 200 per cent. The national campaign ends on November 19, and at that time final results will be given out. The University will get a chance to see the trophies when they are received. The Engineers will probably take over one of the Thursday assemblies and celebrate the victory.
Steady Increase
The drive started on September 27. under the direction of M. S. Robb. Chairmen were appointed over the different engineering departments, and slowly but surely the membership began to increase. On the evening of October 5th, C. E, Drayer, national secretary of the American Association of Engineers, addressed the U. S. C. A. A. E., and from then on it was just one new application after another.
There was some loaning of cash to the men who got squeezed between the Treasurer’s Office and the University Book Store, and there were some campaigners’ voices cracked before some of the men could be persuaded to go into debt to join the organization. On the last day of the drive the Civil Engineering office was completely run over by new men who had finally cornered the necessary cash to take out memberships.
Officers Work
The success of the drive is due primarily to the undivided efforts of the officers of the A. A. E., and secondly to the efforts of all the A. A. E. men. Marion Robb, treasurer of the engineers, gave over practically all of his time to the directing of the eampaign; Charley Miller even went into the hole financially to insure the success of the drive, and “Bevo” Bush spent many an afternoon talking new recruits into handing over the four dollars. Bush got every man he went after.
A year’s membership in the A. A. E. was offered to every engineer who enrolled ten new men. Don Hichbom, the demon A. A. E. statistician, has been »o swamped with new applications that he is not able to make a report on this at the present time, but it is thought that nearly a dozen men have earned such prizes.
Trojans Sent Out
At the request of Mr. Drayer, one hundred copies of the Engineers’ edition of the Trojan were sent to National Headquarters to be distributed among the student chapters of the nation. After giving the local men the onceover, Mr. Drayer proclaimed the U. S. C. Chapter the livest and best student chapter on the roll book. Mr. Drayer visited nearly every chapter on his recent tour of inspection.
The next A. A. E. meeting is called for Wednesday evening of November 2nd, and will be held in the Civil Engineering Building. Initiation will take place shortly after this, and then plans will be made for the annual Engineers’ Hike, which is scheduled for the early part of December.
