Liberal Arts Has Not Supported Year Book Well, Says Manager
SHOOTING LAW PICTURES
Full Dress Pictures Being I aken Now at Studio on Hill Street
El Rodeo '24 is on sale again today, to give the few remaining students who have not received copies one more chance to get one of the 600 page annuals. The book will be delivered in May, and sales must be brought to a sudden close in order not to delay publication.
“Three hundred ami twenty-five books are sold to the Law College, 375 to the Dental College, and less than 600 books have been sold at Lib eral Arts and the other combined colleges. This is a particularly poor showing on the Liberal Arts campus, and Editor Metcalfe and 1 are disappointed t othink the hook is not more popular." said Manager Eddy before opening the sale. “Over Son books were sold last year, and it is not clear why students have not subscribed for the annual, particularly when the book is going to be bigger and better than ever before.”
PRICE IS CHEAP The price of $4.50 is ’way below the pric e charged at other universities for the annual. Three dollars is required as a payment down, and the balance of $ 1.50 due is to be paid on the delivery of the book.
Pictures are being taken at the Law College this week for El Rodeo, announces Ted Hauser, law manager. A prompt response hy both faculty anil students is urged.
Some proofs from the Liberal Arts students have not been returned to Witzel Studio as yet. These must be returned before further work on the book can be done.
SKULL AND DAGGER Skull ami Dagger men should visit the studio this week and he snapped in full-dee, says President Al Wesson. Any other students who have not had their pictures taken should visit the studio this week without fail. The charge is one dollar. The studio is located on Hill street, between Eighth and Ninth.
HUMOROUS STUDES ARE TO MEET MITH THE WAMPUS STAFF
More Member* Needed to Contribute Jokes and Cartoons,
Is Editor’s Prayer
All members of the "Wampus” staff and those who wish to become contributors are asked to meet in the Trojan office at one o’clock today. Cartoonists, joke Writers, poets, feature storv-ists and highbrow illustrators are all included in this call.
Al Wesson, editor of the “Wampus," very anxious to have all students Interested in humorous magazine work report at the meeting. '‘We want to make ‘Wampus’ every bit as good as the best comic in the country. Our business management under Ed Steinberg is putting ’Wamp’ on his feet financially and we want to put him across editorially and artistically.” According to the editor, the present staff is not half large enough to do the work that he has cut out for “Wamp” to do. "Although we have nearly doubled the amount of material in the magazine this year," he said. “1 am far from satisfied with the book. 1 believe that there are enough humorists in this university to make ‘Wamp’ known throughout the collegiate world for his ongnality and wit."
The "Wampus" has been already recognized as a humorous vehicle. "Life," "Judge," and several screen weeklies have reprinted many of its jokes.
Mischa Elman, the celebrated Russian violinist, will appear at the Bovard Auditorium next Monday evening, February 5, under the

Elman has already appeared at the Philharmonic Auditorium	--
and critics have been unanimous in declaring the Mischa Elman today BONE TO MAKE THE TRIP is as great an artist as he ever^~ has been.
Elman comes from a two years’ tour of Asia and Europe. His reception in Japan is said to have been almost as noteworthy and impressive as those bestowed upon leading statesmen or popular warriors. The press acclaimed him Thirty Trojan Boxers Are Prepar-

noi only as a master musician, but as a special envoy from ihe realm oi' art in the Occident to establish more firmly the bonds of amity and co-operation wilh the Orient.
Fast year Elman toured Europe, when* he had not played for a number of years, with a series of orchestral concerts and recitals in England. France, Belgium. Germany and Scandinavia. Elman reaffirmed the earlier judgment of European critics that he now ranks among the greatest violinists of all times.
On account of ihe local popularity of the Russian violinist, it is expected that there will be a heavy outside demand for seats at the concert. Students who desire to hear Elman are urged by Mrs. R. B. von KieinSmid, chairman of the Women's Club, to make reservations a's early as possible. Prices for ticket $1.5o and $2.00.

In addition to being a leader in ec-1 clesiastical matters. Bishop Cantwell : has distinguished himself in education al work. Bishop Cantwell is a director i of the Extension Division of the University of California.

Day hy day in every way. they're getting boxier and hoxier. If one would spend a little time around the gymnasium watching the Trojan pugs in action the above sentiment would meet with approval. Coach Bob Howard of Central High, and a former stu dent of Geo. Blake, states that by the time that the first fights come around I . S C. will have on the floor the best team of collegiate boxers in the West.
Over thirty young Trojan aspirants are training faithfully for the coming elimination contest. Each battler is confident that he is the right and best man to uphold the honors of U. S. C. With three or four men claiming the same right the elimination contests will be Sl.oo, OUght jG be a miniature Verdun. Candi-! dates for cootie-weight, feather weight, have been slow in reporting for practice. Coach Howard is very anxious for men in this class and for men in the welter-weight and heavy-weight class to report to the gymnasium to start preliminary training. For any one who has great fistic ambitions, and j who wants to fight for the glory of | lT. S. C .. thc^ golden opportunity has I arrived.
Eddie Mattis, assistant boxing coach, will defend the laurels of the 135 pound class. Harold Galloway, th** game fighter of last year has finally decided I not to go out for the mitt game this year. Owing to the absence of Gallo-! way the burden of fights will rest on 1 the capable shoulders of Mattis. The ! loss of Galloway will be heavily felt hy the team.
Another loss will be felt in the 125 pound class. Ervin Gillette who last year defeated the best man that the north could produce, suffered a broken arm this semester and is forced to remain out of the game for at least this season. Several good boys are expected to fill Gillette's shoes. In Marlow and Fox it is the expectation (CONTINCEt) i >N PAOE Hi

Dear Folks:

Over to the Ippv Kak where I spend my time making stump speeches at meals and washing windows, they has a tub what is used for to wash out your clothes when you wanta. As it was. I was broke this week and so I decides to wash my own duds. I piles all my clothes into the tub and then empties a whole box of soap flakes in on them I was gona have lots of suds. But no suds came up and so I washed and washed and the clothes didn’t get soapy and the soap didn't melt.
I grabs up the box to see what kinda soap suds I has put in my clothes when I sees it was a box of this here snow what was used for the Ippy Kak Xmas tree. And now all my clothes is full of this junk. I look like a man to a masquerade ball when 1 change shirts, I can see to comb my hair In my soft collars, every night when I go to bed with my snow covered nightie. I scratch myself to sleep, and I can't change sox cause the stuff tickles the bottom of my feet, and I nearly die laughing.
