WHAT DO YOU COME to college for?
That is a pertinent question that ought to occupy the thought of every student on the campus. Today’s editorial puts this problem before the students.
Where everyone is always in complete accord, where the faculty proposals are never opposed by the student leaders, where passivity seems to be the chief and ultimate aim, progress must cease. Never yet has any great problem been solved by passivity.
Progress is always accompanied by mental commotion. Where the intellect fails to work, there passivity begins. Although not entirely passive, the student^ leaders and student body of U. S. C. are toe ststic for real
achievement.
FORENSIC ARTISTS of U. S. C.

Trojan debaters have won six contests so far this season, and have not vet suffered a defeat. The men from the ‘ land of oil” are reputed to be after a decision in their favor, and expect to get it. Debating should be better supported; the men on the stand need encouragement as well as the men on the field.

1 went over to the Magna Phi house the other night to spend a quiet evening with Diana Might, feeling kinda loose like with my change. Well she sat on one end of the lounge and 1 sat on the other. She said ”1 bet it would be nice to be down at the beach" and 1 said “Yep.'* Then we sat some more. Pretty soon she said “Windy this month isn’t it.” 1 said “A good wind aint what it usta be though.”
Then we sat some more. After a while she kinda Yawned so I Yawned. Then we sat some more. Then she said “I'll betcha your mouth is bigger than mine.” Being quick Ed. 1 came hack like this: “1 betcha it aint.” “All right then, lets measure” she said. So 1 took out a celloloid rule from my pocket and measured her mouth and it was 1 and 3 quarters inches. 1 then measured mine and it was 2 and eights so 1 guess she won.
ONE AT A TIME After that she kinda acted as if she was mad at me and we sat some more Then she said “If you was the last man on earth 1 wouldn't marry you.’ Right fast like I came back and said “No 1 guess you wouldn't as you would get killed in the rush.”
I guess the last one was too much for her and she fainted. Well I run to the telephone and got a Dr. and hollared to him that I had a fight with my girl and she had fainted and v hat would I do. He said 1 had better sneak out quietly betore she came to so I did.

“After persistent effort we can finally announce that the remainder of the snaps are to be held in the Armory. This is so near the campus and such a desirable place in which to hold our semimonthly snaps that every member of the class should turn out.
“The snaps nave been planned for every other Wednesday until June. The officials at the Armory have been very accommodating to allow us to have these affairs there. It will, however, be impossible to obtain the Armory for Wednesday, April 4. There will be further announcement concerning this date. So it behooves the seniors to watch tho Trojan for news.
“The following are the dates for all the 8snicrs to save. Every one out to the next snap. Wednesday, March 21, will come on the same night as the Extravaganza, but as these nights have been arranged for at the Armory so far ahead, the Senior Snap will be held on this date.

In a communication from the De partment of Public Instruction and Fine Arts of the French Republic, Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, head of the school of philosophy here has been requested to send abroad a copy of his book. “Philosophy and the War.” The volume, which was used extensively in S. A. T. C. camps during the war, is desired by the Frencn for the English department of the French N:» ional War Library.

The object is popular instruction as well as scientific research, the museum and library being open to the public.

"Dear Sir:	t
"The National French War Library would consider it an honor to have your book. "Philosophy and the War.” in its English language section.
“Should you have other publications either on the war or on subjects related to it or on peace problems tnd reconstruction. I shall be grateful if you will include them.

Pledges of Skull and Dagger honor fraternity met !%t the Z. K. E. house last night for the first practice for the mock trial to be presented next week.

Al. Wesson stated yesterday that it was expected that this year's pledges would not only stage the best show to date but that the script which was written by Norman McKay and Leonard Thomas contained some clever lines without the features that have been present in other trials.
Another practice is scheduled to take place tonight and all pledges are requested to report at the Z. K. E. house at seven o’clock.
