ASSEMBLY RULES 10 GE RIGIDLY ENFORCED
Chapel Cuts are Decreased by Committee of Faculty and Students
MISDEMEANOR TO READ
Same Proctors Function This Semester With No Power of Excuse from Absence
LANCE, LUTE PLAY READY FOR BOARDS
The day when students of U. S. C. went to chapel only when there was nothing else to do is no more. The reason for its departure is the fact that the faculty has recently passed a ruling that cuts from class will cause the cutter to lose credit. Chapel, being considered a two-hour class, under the new ruling can be cut only twice without, losing grade points.
By united action of both faculty and students, attendance is required at the eleven o’clock assemblies on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the year.
The new rule recently announced in regard to absence from classes applies also to absences from Assembly. As Assembly is regarded as a two-hour class, two alisences per semester will be allowed without penalty. The third absence will result n the loss of a grade point; and each succeeding absence will mean the loss of half a point. The two absences allowed are intended to take care of all emergencies, such as illness, personal or class business, etc. Attendance at class meetings held at the assembly hour is requ red the same as for the regular assemblies, and the roll of attendance is taken at such meetings.
Students who find it necessary to be excused from regular attendance at assemblies should file petition for excuse not later than Friday, February 15. at the office of Dean Waugh, Room 201. Hoose Hall, using special blanks to be secured either in Room H-201 or at the Registrar's office. Excuses will be granted only in exceptional cases. Excuses granted for the first semester do not hold over to the second semester.
Students must be in their seats for the singing of Alma Mater. After that, students without regular seatfs or the general public may occupy the vaca.nt seats. Seats 15 to 28, both inclus ve. in Rows “D" and “E” on the main iloor, center, are reserved for graduate sand special students who desire to attend assemblies.

DENTAL MOURNS LOSS OF DR. WHITE
Well Known Educator Passes Away at His Home in Alhambra
GLEE CLUB RETURNS FROM SOUTHERN TRIP
Santa Ana, San Diego and Escondido visited on the Three-Day Tour
TWENTY MEN* IN PARTY
Dentistry, and in particular the U. S. C. Dental College mourns the loss of one. of its best known and well loved educators in the person of Dr. Horace L 'White who died two weeks ago at his home in Alhambra.
Dr. White graduated from the U. of Vermont and later took a P. G. at Columbia w here he obta ned a Ph. D. for his research in physiological chemistry under the eminent Dr. Chittendon
He served in the Spanish American war returning to take the professorship in chemistry at the University of Vermont.
Dr. White was a contributing member of the American Chem.cal Society.
After being the head of the chemistry department at U. S. C. Medical, until it was disorganized, he became Professor of Physiological Chemistry at I’. S. C. Dental where he has taught the last three years.
Dr. White was known for the exactness with which he taught his subject and the absolute fairness that characterized his dealings with the students.
By RUTH CANARY
To brighten the darksome atmosphere that generally accompanies the ordeal of settling down to business again, “The Show Shop-’ will be presented by the Lance and Lute honorary dramatic fraternity in Bovaru Auditorium Thursday evening. This delightful comedy was written by James Forbes, and is simply a round of laughs. The various characterizations are especially interesting, while the comedy situations are equally amusing.	q
‘ Presented by Ijince and Lute’’ means, of course, an all-star cast, for that organization is made up of students who have appeared many times in campus theatricals and have done dramatic work worthy of recognition.
loanee and Lute was founded in 15*13, and was a purely inactive honorary organization for Juniors and Seniors only up to 1921 when it admitted Sophomores and Freshmen into its ranks and entered upon an active career. Since then Lance and Lute has presented one play each year, such as “The Great Galeoto,’' and "The Great Divide,” it being one of the primary aims of this organization *o produce only dramas of recognized high quality.
However, instead of presenting more tragedy and heavy drama,
Lance and Lute has chosen for this year's vehicle one of the better comedies, “The Shop Shop.”
The most striking feature of this pieceis that it contains a “play within a plav,” and the audience is introduced into the mysteries of staging a “Broadway Hit.” The “rehearsal scene” shows Mrs. Dean, the ambitious mother coaming her “in-cenue daughter. Bettina.” and all the rest of the cast and *tage management in the climax scene of “Dora's Dilemma.-’ which is the “Broadway hit' in question. This act is guaranteed to break up the solemn “examination week" expression into every sort of grin or smile imaginable.
Included in the cast are many “old favorites:” Bonnie Palmer. Paul Palmer, Elsie Mil’s and Ruth Sea-<Continued on Page 4)
EE RODEO 10 60 ON SALE THURSDAY Al
Deposit of Three Dollars to be Paid Now; Remainder on Delivery
CALL MADE FOR SNAPS
Book to Contain Over Seven Hundred Pages; Sale for Limited Time Only
El Rodeo is to go on sale Thursday morning, February 14, acording to the reports received from the El Rodeo office.
A deposit of three dollars will be charged to reserve the book, the additional one dollar and a half to be j paid when the book is deivered.
Accord ng to ditor Kenneth Crist, the annual is progressing splendidly with a couple of exceptions. There is a real need of snapshots, especially "action” snapshots. Editor Crist asks that the fraternities and sororities send in snapshots of their “doins”, and that they act promptly as the book goes to press April 15, and after t^iat no pictures will be accepted. The films with the owner’s address should be sent to Mr. Crist who will return them by mail as soon as the print has been made.
The El Rodeo department also desires cartoons and Chinese pen and ink sketches. The response along this line has been very poor.
“Otherwise things are coming along nicely,” says Crist. “The calendar has been kept up to date and the feature work under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Davis has been coming in regularly. Of course there are those slow individuals who have neglected so far to have their pictures taken. The last opportunity to have this done is this week at the Gentry Studios, Third and Broadway.”
According to Harry Holton, El Rodeo manager, the annual this year will contain over seven hundred pages, one hundred pages more than last year’s, but the price will be the same. They w-ill be on sale for a limited time only. The ticket booth in the Associated Students Bookstore will be open at all times for the sale of the books, and the ticket window in the Administration Building arcade will be open from 10 to 1 each day during the time of sale.
Books will be ordered only for those who place a reservation during this limited time. Law and Dental Colleges have already subscribed 100 per cent, and the sale has been held back at Liberal Arts to give new students the privilege of purchasing the book.

If U. 'S. C. wants to see the “Frolics of 1924,” now is the time to steal, buy, rent or borrow a ticket of admittance, judging from the success of the Varsity Club, and the Frosh Numeral Club, who have been zealously peddling the pasteboards.
cell, and Otto Anderson trail a close second, and the other members of the club show good results for their energy.
Latest changes in the cast are Martha Smith for the part of Let-itia the poetess, formerly assign ed to Mildred Bergen, who is leaving school. Rosalind Williamson will probably take over Miss Smith’s part who had been assigned the part of Rose. Mar-ouis Busby will take the part of Phil the Photographer, in the place of P’ul Palmer. Mr. Busby's part as Arthur I^andlock, the movie director, will be taken by Howard Coy.
Friday at nine o’cloch. the ticket booth in the patio of the Administration building will open with a full line of Extravaganza tickets, and everybody will have a chance for a good seat, though from the latest reports, and the enthusiastic support of the student body, he who hesitates had better think it over and hurry, for the tickets will disappear like •morning glories under a June sun, according to Frank Hadlock, athletic manager.
Mr. Hadlock, who is also head of the ticket sale, added that Hank LeFevbre leads the athletes, having sold 100 cards. Jim Pur-

Packed Houses and Appreciat- ] ive Audiences Welcomed U. S. C. Students ....
Playing to packed houses, the Glee Club made a three-dav trip through the south dur ng the time between semesters, appearing at Santa Ana. San Diego and Escondido.
“The trip was successful in every way,” Horatio Cogswell, director of the singers, stated yesterday. “The boys did fine; and the audiences packed to the doors, semed to enjoy the programs.”
Thursday morning the Glee Club sang at the Santa Ana High School, and in the afternoon at Garden Grove. Thursday night they gave a program at the Method st Church. Stopping at Santa Ana for the night, the men proceeded the next morning to San Diego.
Two appearances were made at San | Diego; in the afternoon at the Memorial High School, and in the evening at the First Methodist Church. The concert at the Methodist Church was enthusiastically received, and one man, according to Mr. Cogswell, characterized the program as “simply magnificent.” The concert was followed by a reception for alumni of the Uni-versitv

$1000 Paid to 500 Students In First Semester Rebates
By GEORGE JORDAN
That the Cooperative Book Store is really run for the benefit of the students is shown by the fact that $1,000 has been paid back to the purchasers in rebates. Five hundred students took advantage of this new system. Coming as it did at the beginning of the new semester, the average $2 refund is appreciated. The least amount paid to any one person was fifty cents, while one customer collected $11.06. Manager Fisk says that there are a few vouchers yet to be claimed and asks that the people holding them bring them to Gwynn Wilson’s office as soon as possible and enable the business staff to balance the account.
Whether or not the next semes ij;--
ter's rebates will equal the last de-1 pends entirely upon the students and faculty. The store is run for their benefit and can and will declare dividends in proportion with the trade brought to it.
A good deal has been said about students bringing in checks which do not represent purchases of the bearer. Purchasers are perfectly welcome to call for receipts to be used by themselves or 'given to organizations but Manager Fisk feels that Trojans should remember that the profits that are not called for will be put into funds that will help the student body as a w’hole. Purchasers who do not intend to make legitimate use of their privilege are requested not to ask for receipts.
For the enlightenment of some students who were late in returning their checks, the “Co-op” management wishes to explain that no money can be paid next semester for unclaimed receipts issued during the last. The reason is that it necessitates too much extra work in the bookkeeping department when the amounts are paid out in small, scattered amounts.
As a further convenience to the student body, a branch store has been opened up in the Old College near the library. Supplies such as pens, pencils, note tbooks, paper, etc. may be obtained there. Xo text books will be on sale at the branch, however.
U. S. C. athletic Creed of Courtesy and common sense rooting, formulated and distributed by the Skull and Dagger Honor Fraternity and the Varsity Club, must become a part of every Trojan’s spirit before the reputation of Southern California will be above reproach, according to Harry Silke. Boohing, hissing and even smaller discourtesies, coming from the sidelines, destroy in a day the good name of a University that has taken years of past victories to build up.
“Instructions to Rooters" is a crystilization of the athletic policies of the University of Southern California expressed by the Varsity men and comes at the beginning of a new semester to remind new students of their Trojan responsibility,” says Silke.
Leon Bakst, celebrated Russian ar-j tist, will give an illustrated lec-! ture in Bovard auditorium. Friday evening, February 15th at 8 o'clock. His subject will be Art of Design and Color.
Bakst is making a tour of the United States and is lecturing in a few of the large cities. He speaks twice in Ix>s Angeles. On next Thursday morning he will lecture in the ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel. On the following Friday he will speak here at the University.
Bakst has been acclaimed the world's greatest master of stage setting, decoration, and costume designing. He came into prominence in 1910 through his work at the Royal Opera House in Petrograd. His costumes and settings for the Ballet Russe, when it toured the country, aroused nation-wide comment. Bakst’s work has been seen on the local stage in “Chu Chin Chow” and in some of Pavlowa's ballets. The Mannikin parade in the last act of the Arabian Night extravaganza was fitted out in costumes designed by Bakst.
Critics have pronounced him a master in harmony of color and line in movement. "He has been greeted by great crowds in the other cities of the United States in which he has lectured. Four thousand heard him in Ann Arbor In Montreal,. Canada, he spoke before three thousand persons.
His present trip is his first to the Pacific Coast. He will deliver his first lecture on the Coast at Los Angeles.
Bakst was l>orn in Petrograd^™7n 1868. He studied art there. I^ater he went to Paris. He has resided in the last city for a number of years.
Tickets for the lecture may be purchased at the University Students’ Store. The prices are as follows: $1, $1.50} $2, $2.50.

Hello and Smile” Week Is Inaugurated by Bachelors
By FREEMAN HALL
“Hello! How are you?” This phrase of good will and greeting will be the password of the campus, beginning Monday next. Students on the campus passing each other will hail the passerby with a cheery hello and a friendly smile. New students, old students “profs,” and other various sundry beings around the college will abandon the Examination Blues and smile at the world and their fellow sufferers In this way the committee, recently appointed by “Okey” King, president of the Wampus Bachelors, will endeavor to chase away “gloom’ and bring a smile into the faces which adorn the University grounds every
day.
