Identification Cards for Admission to All Student Affairs Issued on Registration

All Students \\ ill be IvC-<|iiirt*d to Show C ard at Door
CARDS TO BE FREE
Object is to Limit Affairs to U. S. C. Students Only
Associated Student Body cards, presentation of which will be necessary for admittance to all U. S. C. social events and for voting, will issued to every student enrolling next semester. Students will receive th? card at the Registrar's office at fne same time the permanent enrollment card is g.ven out. ’ There will lo cards of four colors, a different one for each of the four classes, while enrollment in the various colleges of the T’niversity will be designated hy large letters stamped across the card, “L. A.” indicating Liberal Arts, “D” dentistry, ■ M” music, “L” Law, etc.
The cards will be issued free of charge but duplicate cards will cost ’wenty-five cents. The cards will be pood the remainder of the year. Next year it is planned to incorporate the card in. the enrollment book handed to the students when ihey start enrollment each semester.
The administrat on of I*. S. C. agreed this week to issued the cards at the request of the Executive Committee. The matter of having such a card was brought before the Executive Committee at one of the first meetings of the year. A committee, headed by Harrv Silke and Harold Williamson, was appointed to take up the matter with the General Manager and other members of the Adminis-t an However, the decision to use the card was not made in time to have it placed in the registration booklet.
Student body cards were used several years ago at U. S. C. but were recently discarded. Members of the Executive Committee felt that the move of doing away with them was not wise. They claim that for several years U. S. C. has been entertaining high school students and outsiders at social affairs since there was no way of telling al>«olutely what students were Trojans.
The cards will be used at all class dances and parties as well as at all-University events the second semester. Men will be ejnployed to stand at the entrance and admit no one without a card.
Tickets will also l*e shown when students vote for the A S. B. officers .'•ext June, and at all other elections at the colleges. This will do away with mucn of the coinplain which has •>een made regarding voting in ihe past few years.
At other functions where students ltceive a rebate on the admission price, the tickets will be necessary. Next year Trojans will have to pr»-s« nt cards before purchasing tickets to the Junior Prom and for class elect ons
The matter of using the ticket will b the same for all colleges in the t’niversity.

Finals Occupy Students’ Time; Registration Opens
At 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, the first heat of the finals were run oft according to schedule.

C. instructors and proiessors are now having their semi-annual opportunity of regaining some of the knowiedge which they have imparted to come 8000 during he preceding 18 wreeks.

Executive Committee Will Pass on April 29 and 30 as the Days for Drive
April 29th and 30th is the date that has been recommended by the
Service Campaign Committee as the best time for its drive. This date w-ill be presented to the Executive Committee by Lester Heinemann. for its approval.
It was decided at a meeting of the Service Campaign committee Friday to not appoint the sub-committees until next semester when they could devote their time more Organic lab. Mid year exams are ! completely to their respective tasks, in Anatomy, Physiology, Operative ! After registration week is over Prosthetics, Materia medica, and ; committees will be appointed as fol-Crowu and Bridge theory. Two other exams of importance occurring at the same time are in anatomical lab or dissection an^ in physiological lab.
Midnight oil is now burning freely and the library is crowded to capacity most of the time, with many text pages seeing the light of day for the first time. Term papers which are now late are being turned out by the ream in a hope of realizing a fictitious value for the many effortless days of the past.
While the period of examination covers a possible three hours, it's easily seen that the fortunate ones who presumably know their stuff" are soon parked in conspicuous places transferring opinions and telling of how they ‘got by.’ Others appear to learn what they forgot and didn't know.
Going out like a lion, semester, number one_ will give way to registration February 6th, and greet tft-lamb of semester number two on the 11th. For those who wish to avoi^ the long waits of registration, the registrar is now giving out temporary enrollment cards and sched-I	i Y	,

The spacious banquet and dance hall of the Hotel Virginia in lxtng Beach, has been reserved for this brilliant event. Friday, February 8, is the date set for the activities.

To give the students an idea of the sum that the committee will probably aim at it might be well to state that the highest figure reached in any campaign was attained in 1921 when $2175 was received. The year before that nearly equalled it with a cash subscription of $1936. Just what quota the committee will set this year has not been determined.

That the Federal Board students receiving vocational training in the University of Southern California rate the highest in the Twelfth District in both scholarship and general morals, is the statement made by W. W. Stamm. Government Co-ordinator for the United States Federal Board.
"There have been fewer complaints from the trainers of this school than from any other in ths district," Mr. Stamm stated, “and I attribute this to the splendid treatment accorded cur men by the University officials and by the student body. The men have been assimilated into the various schools and colleges of U. S. C. without the slightest difficulty.”
The latest figures show 272 enrolled in the campus colleges, divided as follows: 115 special students, 173 regularly enrolled in the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Commerce, 50 in the College of Dentistry, and 15 in the College of Pharmacy. Their scholarship standing is unusually high Mr. Stamm said, that only five out of this entire number failed in the mid-semester examinations.
Mr. Stamm also stated that the trainers took an active interest in the social, literary and athletic life of the University. Many of the class officers are Federal Board men and one ot the star football and basketball players on the Varsity teams is a vocational training student.

Southern California Shows Supremacy Over Cal and Stanford
l . S. C.’s debating squad became the champions of Cal.fornia and the victors in the triangular debate contest between California, Stanford and U. S. C., when Bill Barber and Jerry Mayo won from the Stanford debaters by a 209 to 89 vote in Bovard Auditorium Wednesday evening. Tfie new audience decision form of judging was used. It was U. S. C.'s second victory, the negative team deeating Calicrnia at Berkeley a week ago.
One of the largest gatherings known to a home forensic contest assembled to judge the merits of the present criminal syndicalism law and the au-d ence by its vote declared that the law should be repealed.
Mixing humor with sound logic and showing an uncanny ability to put dow’n the leading contentions of their opponents, Bill Barber and Jerry Mayo proved to the debate fan of Southern California that they are leaders in the art of convincing speech. No one can express the real intensities of the debate for from the beginning to end it was a match of reasoning and wit which kept the audience constantly in a pleasant sfate of mind.
An audience of about three hundred gathered for the debate, among those present being students of both Universities. I. W. W., sympathizers of the law, opponents of the law, and high school debaters of neighboring schools. It w-as also learned that special deputies were in the audience to put down any exhibitions of a radical nature.
President Von KlienSmid was chairman of the evening, and, after
2	brief speech of introduction and an explanation of a number of the new feature of the system of judging, introduced members of both teams. Jerry Mayo opened the contest by words of greeting to Stanford's men. Pert Levit and Robert Littler, and firmly established the first contention of the affirmative. The arguments seemed close and at the end of the constructive speeches it was practi. cally a tie. However, after the close of the rebuttals a slight edge favored the home men.
The final score is not indicative of the closeness of the debate, for the Stanford men were deserving of more credit than the score might testify.
Levit and Littler were frequently cheered fer their brilliant retorts to the arguments of the affirmative. Their I case was perfect, but the decision of ' the audience when the ballots were I cast demonstrated that the home men | had undoubtedly presented the best { of the arguments. The northern men j replied to the humor of U. S. C.'s men by telling many stories and relating songs which all lent to the (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4>
