REPORT REACHES THE “Trojan” office that nearly all the track stars of 11ms year are on the ineligible list vwhen it conies to stiff competition with other colleges. The reason given, in almost every case, is poor scholarship.
Athletes should be given credit for their work on the field: the student body must recognize the efforts the a'hletes must give for their university—but the athletes must recognize that it is absolutely necessary that they get their studies.
The primary purpose of a higher et ucatonal institution is scholarship. A hletics is but a side issue, an avocation, so to speak, and should cot be allowed to seriously hinder tlie schol-si-tic attainments which they cam* here to g^t.

No. 67
ALTHOUGH THE LOSS of so many track stars means that the track prol-pfcts have taken a slump like the Ger man mark. Eut, better the slump than al ow athletes to compete when they are not eligible. That is the chief criticism of the Trojan University by outsiders, and it is that severe criti-cinm that hinders the development of U. S. C. along perfectly normal lines; it is that kind of criticism, also, that leads to misunderstanding, which was evinced by the I. C. A. A. A. A. tabling of the Trojan application.
A good reputation for honest, sqaare, sportsmanlike playing is absolutely essential. That is what the authorities at U. S. C. are striving for, and that is the reason why many of the star track performers will not be se*«n in track suits Saturday.
OREGON KNOCKED OUT several students because they put on too risque a vaudeville for an inter-frater-nity affair.
-Mve must leave the university immediately, others sacrificed their spring vacation, while quite a number were barred from participating in uni-versity athletics for the rest of the year.
Severe measures must be taken by authorities when students get off on the wrong tangent. Similar measures may have to be resorted to here, especially if Jhe Skull and Dagger initiation play is as uncouth and filthy as it has been in former years.

STUDENTS WHO HAVE a real constructive plan for U. S. C. student body in mind are urged to submit their proposition in writing to the “Trojan,” signed, of course.
Legitimate kicks are also welcomed, because the more the students show an interest in their student government, the more real does the spirit of the Trojan institution become. Think ov*?r the letters which have been written for publication by those who favor or oppose the idea of changing the student body constitution.
FOUR HUNDRED CO-EDS of U. S. C. are engaged, according to a recent report in one of the metropolitan papers. Along with the article was a picture of four U. S. C. women who were wearing the fraternity pins or (CONTINUED ON PAOE 21

MEMBERS NAMED BY DR. VON KLEIN SMID
J. W. Shurter in Engineering and Mary B. Kellog for Sociology
S. C. WATER POLO | TEAM WINS FRAY
Dr. von KieinSmid has announced the appointment of two new faculty members for U. S. C., one for the department of engineering and an instructor in sociology.
J. W. Shuster, who has been professor of electrical engineering at the t ^ niversity of Wisconsin for eighteen i years, is the new assistant professor j of electrical engineering. He will have charge of new classes in power plants,
I thermodynamics and advanced subjects for the engineers.
Mary B. Kellogg, who is known as a social service worker in Oakland and Los Angeles, will have the sociology classes formerly taught by Miss Fes-ler, whose recent marriage left a vacancy. Miss Kellogg has served as the supervisor of child welfare work in the Los Angeles schools. While in that position she made an intensive study of 600 child welfare cases, and wrote a master’s thesis on “An An-

looks like a victory for tho Golden Bear. Coach Cromwell has some real outstanding stars on his team this season, but the Cardinal and Gold squad is not the well-balanced all-around aggregation that the Northerners are reputed to be. All things can’t be figured out by dope, however, and a Cal.-U. S. C. athletic contest is one article that can be listed in this category. The Trojan knights of the spiked shoe can be counted upon to give all they have, and then a little mote, in an effort to defeat the Californians.
SPRINTS TO S. C.
In the dashes, S. C. appears to have the edge on the Northerners. Although Christie has some men on his squad that can step off the century dash in 10 flat, and one man, Shepard, who has been clocked at 9.9, it is unlikely that any of them will be able to defeat Charley Paddock. The fleet Charles is counted upon for two sure places for his Alma Mater. Just how S. C. will fare in regard to second and third places in the dashes depends upon whether or not Torkelson will be in shape to step out in old-time form. Tork has clipped off the hundred in 10 flat, and may be able to take some points for S. C. Saturday. Yale Martz is also a sprinter that can make most dash artists take the dust.
Yale will probably be at his best in the 440, however, with Aden Hughes and possibly Ivati Johnson as running mates. The Bears are reputed to have quarter milers who can step the dis-ance in less time than HO seconds, and this event should prove one of the real thrilers of the day.

Fairbanks Studios Thanked By Juniors
Much appreciation for the cooperation of the Douglas Fairbanks Studios in perfecting the art work of El Rodeo is being expressed by the various members of the Junior Class. The Fairbanks Studios contributed 20 different still pictures from the most striking parts of Robin Hood, and these pictures, together with other advice received from the same source, furnished the basis for much of the art work in the issue of El Rodeo that is now nearing completion.
SARG’S PUPPETS SHOW IS NOVEL
--I
Tong Sarg’s Marionette’s easily captivated U. S. C. a second time with their performance of “Don Quixote,” last Friday night. A capacity house greeted the tiny players.and the favorable conclusion reached after last year’s Marionette show was only more emphatically reaffirmed.
The story of “Don Quixate” is too familiar to bear retelling, but fortunately, plot is only a minor factor in Marionette plays. It is the novelty that sustains interest, and Tony Sarg’s genius seemingly lies in the field of the novel. As a result, the outstanding impressions of “Don Quixote” are a dance, a bumble bee episode, a scene of gamboling lambs, and several slapstick kicking incidents.
RAISE $2500
Of particular interest to those who have been following the Women's Artist Course is the announcement that the success of the season has netted $2500 toward the building of a women’s dormitory. Among the attractions on the tentative list for the course of next year are the Russian Opera Company and a production of Mozart’s operetta, “The Impresario.”
will begin this afternoon. All members of the cast, chorus and special numbers are urged by “Ted” Hansen, director cf the production, to be present at this time.
Between acts, the audience will be given an opportunity to buy, first hand, copies of the two big
hits of the “Frolics—“T Can't Forget ¥011,” by Ted Hansen, and “Midnite," by Al Wesson. Both of these pieces have been played by tbe “Packard Single-Six Orchestra* of Al Wesson over the radio, and because of the demand of radio fans, have been repeated several times. The composers, in view of the fact that they them-^.lves are members of U. S. C. student body, have decided to give the students first-hand chance at the official publications of them.
PLOT IS REVISED
“All of the rough spots smoothed out” has been promised by Frank Hadlock, manager. Many of the lines have bten revised, and the action slightly changed, and with the introduction of new stage properties the long waits between acts will be elimi- I nated, according to Al Wesson.
Wrhen the “Campus Frolics” was staged it was thought by the managers that one production would satisfy the student body, but because of the demand, not only of the students who were unable to get seats, but also . from the friends of U. S. C. from the oui side, it will be staged once again. Fraterniiies and sororities are urged by Al Wesson to get their seats early to avoid the breaking up of their groups.
TICKET SALE
Tickets will be on sale at the box office beginning Thursday, March 15th. Students are urged by Frank Hadlock to boost the production to their friends, as a production of this sort is not only entertaining but highly effective as an advertising scheme.
