Definite plans have been made for the first large event of the new year, the Panhellenic Dance, which is to be given Saturday evening, January 19, at the Hollywood Masonic Temple. This is a semi-annual affair and is in keeping with a long established tradition. The dance as is the custom is to be informal.
Holding an extremely important place on the social calendar it is expected to provide the suitable recreation necessary fo” the long struggle on finals and term papers which for a few industrious souls has already commenced. They, above all, will need a little diversion in the wiles of terpsichorean art.
All the sororities which comprise Panhellenic ate supporting the dance 100 per cent, iiis at least will insure a large crowd, considering the thirteen sororities present on the campus. The majority of them are taking active part in arranging the features. Decorations are to be espe> cially unique as the pennants of the 'various isororif.ies are to be hung throughout the hall.
For those young innocents who have not had the pleasure of visiting the Hollvw'ood Masonic Temple, it can be stated that the fioor is excellent, and it is termed as being one of the most desirable halls able to be procured in the city. It is easily reached and has proved to be very popular, judging from the number of dances held there during the past few' months.
The committee has not yet an. nounced the orchestra wrhich will supply the music for the evening.

GLEE CLUB TO S!NG AT CHAFFEE HIGH SCHOOL
Tomorrow evening the Glee Club is to sing at the Chaffee Union High School at Uplands. This is in preparation for the campus concert to be given in Bovard Auditorium on January 23, and several features of the program to be given then are to be presented tomorrow-night.
A novel piano number by Clarence Johnson and Earl Stone is to be given on two Knabe pianos. This popular performance is to be one of the acts for the campus concert. Two Knabe pianos are furnished by the Fitzgerald Music Company for all Glee Club concerts so that this number may be w-ell presented.
From present indications, a large crowd is predicted for the concert at Uplands tomorrow night. Altho the date for the campus concert is still almost two weeks away, practically the entire number of tickets has been disposed of, scarcely fifty now remaining.
Restrictions on the tickets to the Junior Prom are removed today and any underclassman may obtain a positive admission to the Biltmore for the night of January 25 by making his appearance at the ticket window of the Administration building with his little five dollars—that is, if there are any left. Those alotted to the campus have been selling rapidly. but Ralph Miller at Law and Fred Olds with the Dentists have Ijcen handicapped in that their classes tike up all of their time at school and by the time they are over, everyone e:s is departing. Therefore the remainder of the tickets, if there happens to be such, will probably be ! from the colleges of Law and Dentistry.

School of Speech Students Put Finishing Touches on Roles In Romantic Comedy
ON BOARDS JANUARY 18
Cast Been Working for Several Weeks, Under Miss Hubbard, on Play
\\ ith January 18 only one short week away, campus attention is centering around the School of Speech play, “The Romantic Age.” to be presented on that date in the Southstone Theatre. After many long weeks of rehearsal, the wt^.l-seiected cast is now engaged in putting on the finishing touches to their respective parts, and in building up the “team wc k” necessary for a smooth running production.
“The Romantic Age,” while of the artistic type of play, will doubtless find an audience of college students extremely appreciative and sympathetic for in it they will find many situations comparable to their ow n experiences not so long ago in their pre-college days.
“It is a play,” says Miss Florence Hubbard, the director, “which lends itself even more sucessfuly to production by young amateurs than to production by older professionals, because young people can more appreciatively ca^ch the young point of view necessary in interpreting the various roles.”
“Also,” she continued, “since ‘The Romantic Age’ is of the intimate type of play, we decided that it could best be presented in a smaller theatre, and so we selected the small stage of the Touchstone Theatre in preference to the larger one in Bovard Auditorium.
Under the direction of Ray MacDonald, some unusually artistic settings are being arranged to further emphasize the artistic nature of the play.
The “romantic roles” are to be played by Clare Kaufer and Reginald Dupuy, while Mildred Goudge and S-D. Seamans will handle the comedy characters. Other parts will be taken ; by Helen Humiston. Bronson Howard, Florence Stimson and little Alfred 1 Corwin, especially engaged to play] the child role.
All seats will be priced at 50c; j and tickets may be obtained from any of the School of Speech students.

TROJANS DEFEAT MERCURY QUINTET IN FAST CONTEST
Coach Turner’s Proteges • Completely Outplay L. A. A. C. Last Night and Win by 21 to 9 Score; Captain Campbell Stars
Putting up the kind of battle that jan basketeers walloped the famous Club fcourt before 750 rabid fans by exhibition on the part of the Trojans, beaten Trojan quintets the past few the outstanding star of the court. c Gordon rang up 14 points for his team and Dorsey and Gerpheide each got 4. The playing of the whole team was a revelation to Trojan rooters, as it looks like U. S. C. has a quintet, this year that will put a scare into coast circles.
Boyer played a wonderful game at breaking up Club plays, but was off last night on goal shots.
Starting in with a whirlwind offense. and an almost airtight defense, U. S. C. completely outplayed the Club basketballers in the first half, the score for this period being, U.. S. C. 10. and the Athletic Club 3.
Gordon Cambell starred in the initial period, scoring eight of the Trojans’ points. Three of the baskets were from the middle of the floor. So strong was the Trojan defense that the Mercury team was able to make only a few shots at the basket, j and count a lone goal by the end of the first period.
PRESS CLUB HOLDS SECOND BANQUET
Bill Smith of Herald is Chief Speaker; Bill Rice is Rewarded
Forty Trojan scribes were made to feel glad that they were numbered among the high order of journalists after fthe memorable Press Ciub dinner a;t the Green Lantern Cafe Tuesday night. Perhaps the leading feature of the evening’s delightful program was the sincere and simple presentation of a handsomely engraved gold fountain pen by President Cecil Carle in behalf of the club, to managing Edi*or Bill Rice, who receives his diploma in three weeks. Every member of the club is known to realize the giant task that Rice has handled, and to appreciate and! to admire him.
Prof. Marc N. Goodnow introduced the chief guest of the evening, Mr. Bill Smit^h, sporting edStor of the Los Angeles Herald, a former New York Herald star, and a brilliant, versatile follower of the newspaper game. Two hours flew by like so many minutes as he clevery narrated ! his experiences in handling the Harry J K. Thaw case, the Titanic disaster, i the Zev-Papyrus race, the Clara Phil-; lips case, the Dempsey-Firpo fight, I and many others. He also delighted the young writers with the ‘‘low-down” and “the inside dope” of the countless turns and twists of the profession. He spoke of the many advantages of newspaper work, and the beneficial associations derived.
Other speakers of the meeting were Okey King, representing the 1 “Wampus,” Arnold Eddy, president of1 the A / ertising Cfub> MrsL Louise ' Barret, a former U. S. C. journalism student, and now advertising secre- ■ tary to Prof. Goodnow and Lowell E. Jessen. and J. Evans Lewis, editor. and associate editor of last year’s j Trojan.

DANCE IS ALSO FEATURE
Luncheon Held at 12:30; Denton Crow of "Times is Main Speaker
That a one-act p!ay and music by cne of the campus jazz bands will be featured as part of the entertainment ‘o be given for the delegates from the high scnools on Newspaper Day, has been definitely decided by the committee in charge, according to Marquis Busby. Just what is the nature of the play selected, and who will be in the cast is being kept a secret for the present but txV:h Busby and Ruth Canary, who are heading the entertainment committee, are satisfied that it will prove to be one of the best offerings of the semester.
As yet no definite selection has been made of the organization which is to furnish the jazz music on account of the difficulty of ohoosing from the large number of excellent syneopaters on the campus. However, the next issue of the Trojan will announce both the name of the orchestra and the cast of the one-act play.
Present plans for entertaining the delegates also include an afternoon dance at one of the sorority houses. This is for the purpose of giving the visitors an opportunity to have some social relaxation and to enable them to become acquainted with each other as well as with the Trojan staff.
Morning sessions of the journalists will be held in the old Chapel while the afternon sessions will probably take place in room 206 of the Administration building. The time of the luncheon, which is being tendered the visitors has been changed to 12:30. It will be held in the University Cafeteria in order to accommodate fhe large number of delegates and will include the staff of the Trojan as well.
Denton Crow, of the Los Angeles “Times” will be the speaker at the luncheon. Mr. Crow, who is at present the city editor of the “Times” was for several years superintendent of the Associated Press and is well known in journalistic circles. The subject of Mr. Crow's talk has not yet been announced but*, acording to Marc Goodnow. of the Journalism Department, it will be of particular value to the students on account of Mr. Crow’s long experience in the newspaper game.

Saturday evening at eight o’clock the two teams wrill again clash, this time at the Trojans pavilion. The fast work and play of last night’s game should attract a big crowd and it is thought that the hall will be filled to the rafters.
Olney. I-aswell nd Reasen, the Club stars, will be at their best Saturday, and folks are looking for a harder tussle in the revenge tilt.
A great surprise was given the fans when, at the end of the half, the scoreboard showed the Cardinal and Gold squad setting up with a 10 to 3 advantage over the Club five.
The line-up:
A number of scholarship reports for both upper and lower division students have not been called for.

Scientific, pseudo-scientific, humorous, razz, and every other sort of publication has appeared on the campus this semester, except a literary magazine. Rumors galore and many surmises have been circulated concerning the appearance of the Wooden Horse, the so-called “highbrow” magazine of U. S. C. Many false alarms have been given any many hopes raised only to be rudely shattered when the keepers of the educated ^Tuine refused to exhibit their charge because the poor thing had no new-blanket to keep him from the cold.
At last .however, editor Al Tachet says that the magazine will certainly appear before the exams, resplendent in a new cover that will make all the artists in the country turn green with envy, not to mention the authors who will be victims of the
gren-eyed monster when they read ‘he rrn'razine.
The make-up for this issue will be the same as in previous ones. Print-cJ on rare paper, especially imported for this purpose and written with good black ink, it will be artistic work such as is seldom seen any-wThere.
Such distinguished authors as Mary Matheson, Katharine Kirker, Carey McWilliams, Ralph Holly. Ross Wilft, Helen Lorraine Neel, Betty Frazee have been persuaded to contribute to this issue, as well as several o*1hers. Even the editor has written something because he felt that the pages just had to be filled up with some sort of something.
There is still room for one or two more short poems and any contribu-g^ons may he put in the Wooden I^erse Box.
