By DOROTHY CROWLEY
With final arrangements for carrying out the program on Newspaper Day already completed, and acceptances from tbe majority of high schols coming in rapidly, Thursday’s I success is practicaly assured. “We i expect this annual Newspaper Day to be the most successful that has ever ; been held at U. S. C.,” said Marc 1 Goodnow, who originated the idea of having a day set aside each year for 1 giving students in journalism an op-I portunity to come in contact with j practical newspaper men.
“Our program includes eight speakers," continued Mr. Goodnow, “and will touch upon practically every 1 phase of newspaper work. Each; speaker is a man who has made a I success in his line and should prove a great inspiration to our aspiring journalists.”
The (speakers will represent the following papers; San Pedro Pilot, Pasadena Star, Hollywood Citizen, Santa Ana Register, Los Angeles limes, Ontario Report, Long Beach Telegram, Orange News, Riverside Enterprise and the Pomona Bulletin.
The talks will be half an hour each and at the end of every talk the students will be given an opportunity to ask questions about any phase of the subject which the speaker has just covered. In this way Mr. Goodnow hopes to enable the students to clear up any points upon which they feel uncrtain.
About seventy-five delegates, at least are expected to attend from the various high schools from Santa Barbara to San Diego. The delegates will be taken care of hy a reception committee of which Okey King is chairman.
The day’s program will open at 9 o’clock in the old Chapel and will continue until 3 o’clock with an in-

GLEE CLUB CAMPUS CONCERT ON JAN. 23
Regular Program is to be Given; Specialty Acts Have Been Planned With Special Scenic Effects;
Concert at Chaffee High
The official Glee Club insignia is to be seen for the first time on January 23, when it is to be worn during the campus concert given in Bovard Auditorium. Last year the student body requested that the Glee Club adopt some sort of an emblem, and the insignia, as pictured above, was designed by Vernon Grant, a member of the Glee Club. It is to be used from now on.	r
The letters U. S. C. are gold, and the remaining background is cardinal. The bars represent the number of years as a member of the Glee Club. An additional bar is added each year.
The program to be given on Jan.
23 is to be of great diversity. As this is the first appearance of this year's Glee Club before the student body, the club is making a big effort to present a program that will please.
Besides the regular Glee Club program, specialty acts and a musical comedy are to be staged. The concert is to portray more University atmosphere and spirit than is usual in the regular Glee Club concerts.

By DOROTHY HERRIMAN
That tbe three most important factors in life are the choosing of a Christ, the choosing of a mate, and the choosing of a life work is the belief expressed in an interview with Dr. Charles R. Brown, Dean of the School of Religion at Yale University and one of the outstanding educators of the country, who addressed the student body ot 1 . S. C. in Bovard auditorium Friday. January 11.
I>ean Brown was particularly in-C lerested in the choosing of a life work. “Life work should be the | main expression of the whole soul, he said. “In order to succeed, however, one should choose a career which he feels himself adapted to.
It is a terrible thing to start out with the wrong key. One soon becomes thoroughly disillusioned."
Dean Brown expressed much amusement when asked if this wras his first trip to California. “I have lived here fifteen years." he said.

Dr. Lowrey mentioned that a great many students have no idea what it is to cheat, that they do not consider it unfair to copy off of someone's paper, ask questions, or crib.

Lowrey, “is too nice a word to be used. It sounds like nothing dishonest, and it is nothing but cheating.

“The Spring Maid” made its first showing in America in December, 1910, when it was produced at the Liberty Theatre in New York. It scored an immediate success and was acclaimed for its excellent music, its refinement, simplicity and charm.
CORRECTION
In a review of Dr. Lowrey’s “Syllabus in American Constitutional History and Ideals” appearing in last Friday’s “Trojan,” the Mimeograph Department was held responsible for a number of typographical errors. It has since been larned that the U. S. C. Mimeograph Department did not publish the syllabus. The work was done by Elmer Marshrey of the Exten-s'on Division Department.
“Can it” is to be the slogan of tn workers in the Student Friendsh’f Campaign which wil] be held on th' campus today. Delegates of the St i dent Volunteer Convention, which oc curred during the holidays, and the delegates to the Y. M C. A. Student Conference at Asilomar, will have charge of this cash drive.
Trojans are asked to give not ac-cordine: to their ability, but according I to their sympathy for the suffering students abroad. These students are in actual hunger and privation, and are fellow-students. The aid that the American colleges will give will pro-
duce a friendly feeling that will grow into an international spirit of goodwill.
Figures show that five cents a day will feed a Russian student, that a dollar and a half will give him one meal for a month, and that fifteen dollars will provide his board for one school term. How many meals will each student here provide?
Mr. Colton of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A., will speak in chapel today, and following chapel workers will be around with tin cans to receive the large bills and small change for the cause of suffering students abroad.
