That it will be successful depends upon whether or not the students of U. S. C. will support it to the fullest extent.
To date the sale of tickets has been just fair. Those who miss the opportunity of seemg the best actors in the University portray college life as it is on the local campus will miss the opportunity of getting a real “kick” out of their own surroundings.

BIG DEBATE BATTLES ON FOR FRIDAY

BIG TURN OUT WANTED
TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS is an
exceptionally large sum for a l'ni\^r-sity to seek for an endowment, although there ate several noted universities and colleges in the United States whose endowments exceed that amount by several millions.
U. S. C. compares favorably with Harvard, Cornell, Columbia and Yale in respect to the quality of faculties, and exceeds nearly all of them in the number of students enrolled, but the endowment of these institutions runs from five to twenty-nine million more than the Southern California institution.
I»r. von KieinSmid is exceedingly1 anxious to get the ten millions of dollars for the Trojan University, so that a first-class medical school can he established here, a number of buildings adequate to meet the needs of the growing student body erected, and sup ply the institution with an endowment of about five millions.
Downtown business men are the ones who will supply the greater amount of the money, but it will take the spirit of the Trojan students to make them realize the importance of contributing their share. The only way in which those men can be convinced. however, is for one hundred per cent, of the U. S. C. students to subscribe for the endowment. The action of all the students will speak much louder than words, and will be the persuasion argument par excellence. Every Trojan will do his best toward his alma mater, whether it be olny one dollar or one million that he can give toward the furtherance of higher education and the growth of the Trojan institution.
DENT COLLEGE FILLED
Midyear enrollment of new students has no effect on the Dental Col lege. The Dental course runs the full college year, and no additions of pea-green freshmen are made to the Dents in February.
The Dental College is running smoothly, according to Dean Ford Half of the year's work is over, and the boys are all in the midst of the vear'r vrind. The combined registration for both departments of the Dental College is now 570.

JUNIOR PARTY OPENS SEASON
Registration, during the last two i days, lias tiiken or a more dignified [aspect, but ihere is 110 break in »he I steady stream of applicants for ad-j mission to tiie various colleges of I'. S. C. Libpral Arts has enrolled approximate^ 2f>'0, while ihe other col-I h*?es :;nd schools show a correspond-I ing incr*ase Registrar Montgomery I expects the total enrollment at U. S. C. to reach 72uo by the end of the i reek.
Tha University Extension Department is one of the most rapidly growing branches of the nniversitv. The number of nearby towns, where this work is given, shows the popular demand for college courses by those people who find ii impossible to regularly attend the university.
Th ' oTkial incomplete and failure list has not yet been turned info the registrar's office, so that the number ctnnot even be approxiamted, how-| ever, ir is believed that the increased enrollment does not necessarily mean a parallel increase in failures.
NEW PIANO CLASS STARTED AT MUSIC
“Evaluations" was President von KloinSmid’s topic when he addressed the student body at chapel Tuesday. 'The matter of evaluations represents the biggest lesson to be learned in ollege by the students,” said Prexy. Most students have acquired the habit of choosing something good in the face of something better. College must teach them to evaluate—to see what is good and what is better, and to choose the better things.”
The valentine motif was suggested in Prexv’s speech when he discussed the matter of Cupid’s Darts vs. Higher Education. “Oh. yes.” he said. “Love is a fine thing, and if you want to indulge deeply in romance during your first semester of college work, all right. Go ahead and make your friends, for the friends you acquire at college are the ones who will mean the most to you in every way when you go out into the world. Love affairs, friends, social life—those are all fine things and a very inevitable part of college life, but like everything else, they have their place and their limits. There are other, better things to be searched out and absorbed. Remember. that in most cases that which now is in no way to be compared with that which is yet to come."
In closing. Dr. von KieinSmid spoke a few words of welcome and friendly advice to the new students.

“Most of the Juniors do not realize.” said Jerry Moreland, Junior president, ‘the business difficulties that we face this semester. With the El. Rodeo, Juflior Play, Junior-Senior banquet, ind the dance the 24th. we’ll have our hands full.”
No especial plans have been made by the Sophomore and Frosh presidents except for business meetings and a general get-together for each class. '
SAGEHEN GAMES ARE POSTPONED

C. hall on Saturday February 24, will mark the opening of ihe All-University social activities of the second semester, according to junior class president "Jerry” Moreland. “This dance. ’ states the president, “is for tiie purpose of creating a better acquaintance among the college students. The social affair is to be informal for both men and women. The juniors intend to make the night of the 24th one night of pep and good time and not a fashion show. To make the dance a real success the barrier of formality should be thrown to the winds.”
Elaborate and detailed plans are being arranged by the social committee. "Thc affair will be one of gaiety and pep.” states the committee in charge.
Soft drinks, otherwise called punch, will be served during the evening. If all indications do not fail it is anticipated that the punch will help to instill real pep into the crowd.

Musty Supher Warns Willie
Mr. Wm. Live,
Uny. of So. Cal..
Co. Trojan Ed.
Dear Sir:
For your ampitifilication I am writing this letter in order to let you know that I am now fully matrickulated in the circulum of the Uny. of Sn. Cala. and intend fo protect my interests, namely Hittie Magin. Even if you are a ^ yr. a head of me it is my detention to follow diligently the paths of nolege and the light of wisdom and some day become able to don the cordory double barrel leg holders like Dud Hayes.
Regarding Hittie I wish to state that you have no more chance than the guy who is so dumb that he thinks a bridle path is a church isle. I have not only paid fifteen $ for the seat next to her in chappie but I have also got her dated up for the Campus Garavanza which is going to come off tonite. I was sure lucky to get that seat so cheap but I bought it from one of the head celebrates around here. He gave nu- his card and if said “I mm a Trojan” so I think he has the paper named after him Imma told me that he would rush me to his frat. the Sigma Omega Lamdas. The . S. O. L.’s are going to give a dance ! and I am going to date Hittie for that, j. The Ply Fly’s are rushing Hittie and she went over to tea with them yesterday Pm. I asked one of the Sol’s what the Ply Fly’s flour was as I was going to buy Hittie a Corsage and he said “Gold Metal.” The tea was held at the Motel isador which is out near Folly wood. I had a hard time to get out there as I had to take the West African car and then transfer to the Vermin and Vermont car. I got back allright though as I had a Trojan in :ny pocket and Lary the guy that runs the. street cars had an add in it. teliiug how to get to the Uni.
I guess after reading this you will have cents enough to lay oft my girl Hittie. Also I would like to advice you that those letters in which you write down a lot of 2nd hand comedy aint so good as you think. Keep away from my girl at the Campus Colics tonight, thats all I ask.
MUSTY SUPHER.
