He was a bum waiter. About the only place he'd ever get a reference would be in the Bible.

DR. WANN MAKES NEW DISCOVERY
December number of Modern Language Notes contains an article by Dr. Louis Wann. professor of Eng lish. on the subject. “Milton’s Lvcidas and the play of Barnevelt." The at tide points out the first case of plagiarism on the part of Milton that has come to the attention of scholars. One of the most famous lines of Milton’s poem of Lycidas was discovered by Dr. Wann to have occurred in the play j called “Barnevelt." written by Mas-i singer and Fletcher some years earlier | The discovery has opened up the ! larger question as to just how dose | were Milton's relations with the the-| at re of his time. This $aper v as tin | subject of much discussion a* a recent meeting of The Philological As
Lance and Lute have set February 18th as the date for their annual production. This year's offering is to he “The Great Divide," a drama of great power and thrilling interest.
Miss Mildred Voorhees will have the leading role in addition to the task of directing the piece. It is her desire to make “The Great Divide" a thing long to be remembered in con nection with thc dramatic activities of C. S. C.
A supporting cast consisting of per sons who have already won their spurs in college dramatics, is being rehearsed regularly in the hope that the! production will be as polished and consummately perfected as possible by February lsth.
NO FACTORIES IN TROJAN DISTRICT
Through the influence and eloquence of a group of Fniversity men. headed by U. W. Byrons, a plan to re-zone the district between Jefferson and Thirty-eighth St., and Grand and Hill St. was defeated by judgment of the City Planning Committee. The Los Angeles City Railway was peti tioning the re-zoning.
If the measure had carreid the district would have been condemned as a Class D zone and it would have been posible to build factories in the immediate neighborhood of the Fniversity.
Tournament Voted The Kittie s Whistle
Al Wesson, editor of Wampus, made hold to claim in the last issue of the comic that his staff was the “cat's ineeow.” A special meeting was called by the editor of the "Trojan," and after lengthy debate it was known that the nows writers had voted to refuse to recognize the distinction conferred by Wesson upon his staff. By a unanimous vote it was decided that beyond the slightest doubt the honor of being the cat's nieeow had been merited and earned solely by the Tournament of Roses committee which established Hie fiftv-fiftv rate.

CROMWELL SOBS OVER PROSPECT
"Smiling .Tim” Henderson is not ihe only individual on the Trojans campus who sees great clouds of gloom hovering on the athletic horizon, for one Dean Cromwell, veteran mentor of the Trojan cinder path artists has a man’s sized quarrel with fate himself.
Much has been said about the ros-; eate hue of the Trojan track prospects, but “all is not gold that glitters." As : usual there is the proverbial fly in the ointment. The Trojan cinder squad will have a scintillating band of stars | to make the fans set up and take no-! tice in certain events, but as a well balanced, rounded out track team they just don't exist. If you don't believe it ask Dean Cromwell. The mere men tion of the mile or two mile events is l enough to cause the Trojan mentor to weep copious tears of anguish. And there are other glaring vacant spots opposite ihe names of certain well-known track and field events, which | are causing the Trojan opposition to j chuckle with glee. Cromwell is still ! hoping, however, to develop some new ; material to round out the sadly lop sided Cardinal and Gold track squad
VACATION PLANS NOW ANNOUNCED
Stating definitely that the calendar of the University would not be changed for the New Year's game, President ' von Klein-Smid in yesterday’s chapel, j stopped all rumor that school would commence again Dec. 27th, for the purpose of holding rallies for the “big battle.” It is believed that enough enthusiasm can be aroused without interfering with the present schedule for Christmas vacation.
Many plans are being made to further the Trojan spirit during the four days of school nertt ’week. Dudley Hayes, Student Body President, announced yesterday that railles will be held in Tuesdays Chapel and other days if possible. Wednesday evening a big rally will be held in the auditorium to prepare for the Game.
CHRISTMAS PARTY AT Y SUCCESSFUL
In spite of hovering rain clouds and he threats of Pluvius a large crowd turned out for the joint Y. M. and V. W. Christmas party last night given in the “Y” hut, stated Glenn Grant, president of the Y. M. C. A.
"This is the time of the year when the two organizations join forces and have one good time, aaccording to Mr. J. W. McGinnis, secretary of the Y, M. C. A.
When asked about the party, Mr. McGinnis emphasized the fact that it was entirely a student affair. Elaborate sittings and much care characterized the staging of a pantomine depicting the birth of Christ, he continued. A very artistic effect was obtained by-lie skillful use of lighting, especially appropriate for the Christmas spirit.
After the pantomine the jangling of sleigh bells was heard and Santa Claus cajne in laden down with gifts for “good little girls and boys.” The party ended with a cheer for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
