r 1733 Students Register for First Day Compared with 916 Last Year; Fraternity Grades Rising While Sorority Attainments Seem to Take a Big Slump This Semester
_ I	■ -
From present registration totals, U. S. C. will, in all probability, e the unusual experience of accommodating more students in second semester than it did during the first semester. At the se of business Thursday evening, there were 1,733 students retired in Liberal Arts and Commerce. Before 10 o’clock the next raing 78 more had witnessed the stamping of their cards.
On the first day of registration, 131 new students paid their tion, while over 200 signed up on each of the two following days, ging the total number of new students to 550 Thursday night.
COMPARATIVE FIGURES Last year 1,287 students registered for the first day of school ng the second semester, compared with 1,733 for this year. Part this increase is attributed to the urgent request of University au-orities for early registration, and the fact that means was provided r students to register during the examination week. On February \ 1921, the first day of registration, there were 483 names, includ-v the pre-registration students. Monday saw 1,107 students en-Ued, and the number was increased to 1,733 by Wednesday even-g, while on the last day of registration the year previous there ere only 916 names recorded. This total was increased, however, 1,648 students by Wednesday night.
Miss Russell, assistant registrar, stated yesterday that ‘‘it is very unusual for registration in the second semester to more than »qual that of the first semester of he school year, but prospects ook bright for U. S. C. to attain his distinction.
TOTAL ENROLLMENT For last semester we had 2,187 tudentS register in Liberal Arts and ; Commerce alone, which includes those registered for extension work. In all probability we will nfive a total for this semester of 2.200 to 2,400 students.

S.C. Law Smoker Proves Great Social Success
Mr. Huse’s Museum Open to Students
By HOWARD LANGLEY
Southern California Museum of Antiquated Perplexities has opened its doors for general inspection. Anyone wishing to view the remains of the Swiss cheese or beer foam that was lost in their lunch last semester must go to the office of the museum and ring for the rector; immediately one of the assistants will wake him up, or visa versa, and the study in lost art will commence.
The museum is located in Mr. Huse’s office and the remains of those articles which are lost, captured, missing or A. W. O. L. are arranged alphabetically for the convenience of the persons interested enough to look for their lost diamond door knobs or the cylinders of their Fords that has been missing for the last ten weeks. i
Outside of the brewery works and a futuristic gallery no more peculiar ex hibit can be displayed than is shown in the S. C. M. of A. P. Everybody in the school at one time or twice contribute to the articles on display. This is done consciously or unconsciously at will. For instance, if a stude wants to give something to the splendor of this museum he generally leaves a gold safety-pin in the locker room or an empty purse in front of the treasurer’s office; but on the other hand, if the contribution is given with no intention aforethought or malice, the article is generally of some valuable nature, (Continued on Page 4)

LATEST WAMPUS NUMBER!BRINGS SAD MEMORIES
Cover and Art Work Well Done, But Jokes Are Somewhat Rare
REPRESENTATIVE ISSUE
Many Humorists Turn Out Jokes and Parodies o f Worthwhile Nature
Examination number of Wampus, -hich drifted up and down the campus ast week and is also on sale during he first days of the new semester, proved itself one of the best issues *ver put out by the Ivory Club et Al ind PeeVeeGee. together with a lot of ew writers, whose work has made he Trojan comic paper a truly repre-entative magazine. With a dozfen new lames, in addition to the old familiar ype faces, which come under the head f those assisting. Wampus looks like good thing, from the editorial page ut.
The cover design, by Helen Huff, rms a green and white checkerboard, ver which is a co-ed peering at a book nd incidentally keeping a weather eye ward the front of the classroom. As poster or cover it satisfied all the Kjuirements and is a fitting introduc-on to the rest of the Kat. The other rawings are for the most part of a ’?rh standard, and well done, but some the jokes are a little rare.
PARODY CLEVER A parody on the Raven, by Edgar Hen Poe. is no new t^ing. but the 'ampus contains one which deserves jnorable mention. “The Last Straw” a specimen of the Kitty’s drama that ill pass at night on a high board nee. while Emil Freed has a number masterpieces, long and short, rouehout the 28 pages. From end to d. Wamp is O. K. and correct, as the ofessor didn’t say when he read over e exam papers; and the stude who rts with the price of one copy or re needn’t weep over the extra ex-vagance.
“As a whole,” as Prof. Van Etten so aptly said at the entertainment, the smoker given by the law school at the Union League Club Wednesday night was a riotous success. The Juniors versus the Freshmen started the program with a sizzling basketball game which had all the earmarks of being a contest for blood. The score seesawed back and forth for the greater part of the game, but the superior knowledge of what constitutes the res gestae of a basketball enabled the Juniors to emerge on the long end of a 16 to 13 score. Thomas starred for the Juniors, while Captain Mitchell played a stellar game for the Frosh.
William Jennings Bryan Collins, the boy orator of the Tajo Building, acted as the official announcer of the evening, and the waters never flowed more smoothly over the jagged precipice of Niagara than the sweetly mellifluous phrases that tumbled from the loquacious lips of the coming Demosthenes. “Crip” Dawson was the first individual to share the spotlight, and his tale of being reassembled after certain connections he had made with German shells on the battlefields of France ha d somewhat disconnected him, left his hearers with nothing but admiration for one who can take misfortune with such good will.
Elmassian gave several numbers on the violin which were greatly appreciated by the crowd. Reuel Olson read a travesty on the history and geography of California, and was followed by battling Gambski's pet performer from Russia, who did numerous things, such as dancing, rendering grand opera selections and bowing gracefully to the appreciative crowd. “Kid” Lovey next occupied the rostrum with a fifteen-minute elaboration on “how good it is to be here” and the “glory of the future generation at U. S. C.,” etc., and then gave way to “Cap” Rogers, who told (Continued on Page 2)

Basketball wizards of the freshman class have been leading a strenuous life. Just four weeks ago, Mr. Lee, the coach, was giving instructions to twenty-six men. Last night eleven frosh traveled south to Fullerton to fight the Fullerton Junior College five in their fifth league game. To date the freshmen five have a clean slate. The men expected a stiff battle, but Mr. Lee had faint hopes of a victory if the men would play up to standard.
DEFEAT HOLLYWOOD
Hollywood’s fast quintet, which with Long Beach, is tied for first place in 'the City League, tasted defeat for the first time this season at the hands of U. S. C.’s infant hopefuls. The locals displayed more teamwork than usual, and with more luck at basket shooting, should make the best in their class acceptt he lemon. These four weeks of practice have brought some high class material to the surface. Charles Bone, three years all-star guard of Kansas City, Mo., was the outstanding star of the game against Hollywood, scoring 13 of the 26 points scored. Hollywood made 18. “Charlie” plays a running guard position and can drible by the best of them.
FIVE VICTORIES
Of the five teams defeated, Lincoln fell victims twice—score 21 to 20, 40 to 18; Pasadena. 38-18; Vermont Square, S2-44. and Hollywood 26-18. The teams yet to be played are Fullerton Junior College, S. B. U. C. frosh, Pasadena (return game), Cal-Tech frosh, and Hollywood (return game). Five men of twenty-six that first came out, have shown up particularly well. Chabre, playing stationary guard, has shown good floor work and “covers” his men well. Augustine, captain, and Kreisl, otherwise known as champion diver, are the star forwards, while Foster plays an untiring game at center. Competition for some of the positions will be renewed when big “Swede” Anderson, from L. A. high, and Craig Mason. of Hollywood, registers at U. S. C . this week. Both are “A-l” basketball men. and should further strengthen the freshman five. Mr. Lee has been devoting lots of time rounding the youngsters into shape and has put them through many hard workouts. Much interest has been by the men who have gone out which, in a large nart, accounts for the good results. The other men to make the trip last night were Yale, Martz, Kovy.
Coach Cromwell, dean of the track, isn’t exactly pessimistic over the prospects for the coming season. In f^ict, a rather cheerful note permeated his speech yesterday afternoon, when he gave out the list of men who form the nucleus of his team. Charley Paddock’s name was included in that list. Whether Charley will run or not is not a question with Dean Cromwell. It is something that Charley himself will have to solve.
•Many very promising athletes from different high schools are enrolling at S. C. this semester. Alvin Fisher, of Lincoln High, comes with enough honors in the high jump to recommend him as a lad who has tolerable legs. Last season, in high school competition, Alvin won the high jump in every dual meet, won the All-City, the Southern California, and the State We see his performance of over six feet is a consistent affair.
The list issued by Coach Cromwell is a well-rounded one, and if ecah man performs to par. meets will be meat for the Trojans. Paddock and Bla lock are the men in the sprints Schiller and Leahy trot the 440. Cole Robinson and Metcalfe are the half milers, with Redwine, McKay and Row ley loping the full mile. Raney Wheeler and Raab clear both the high and low sticks, while Rogers hops the low ones. Raab, it may be mentioned won a high place in the National all around meet held at Pasadena on July 5 last, sprinting the dashes, tossing the weights, and proving himself capable all-around track man.
Joe Chapman and Dick Emmons are the leading pole vault artists, while Emmons, Wheeler, Davis and Fred Bushmeyer are high jumpers. The shot is put by Evans, Boyle and C Farman, with the first two also heav ing the platter. Bushmeyer and Rog ers are broad jumpers.
Several other men who are promis ing first-raters are turning out for practice every night, but the above list came from the lips of the agree able one. From indications. Cromwell has just cause to be hopeful.

University of Southern California,
Los Angeles, California.
Dear Prof. Dixon:
On the even of departure from your shores, let me tender to you my heartfelt appreciation of all the kindness and courtesy you favored me and my party with when we visited your city.
It has, indeed, been my great good fortune to have been able to conclude my fourth visit to your great country under circumstances so auspicious in the interest of peace and good understanding between our nations. Let us hope that the new era of mutual confidence inaugurated by this historic conference will be productive of untold benefits to all mankind.
Limiting ourselves to the object we have been striving for and being stimulated by the golden opportunity afforded by the improved sentiment on both sides of the Pacific, I feel more than ever the necessity of our further efforts for the betterment of the Amer-ican-Japanese relations. ‘
With the best regards to you, I remain,
Yours very truly.
E. SHIBUSAWA.”
The annual freshman banquet given by the Law School will be held at the Maryland Hotel, Pasadena, Saturday evening, February 1. This affair has come to be looked upon as the greatest event of the year at Law, and as every banquet in the past has been crowded to capacity, and as the enrollment at Law this year is larger than ever before, arrangements are being made to handle a record crowd. Short, snappy speeches will be made by Leonard Thomas, president of the junior class; by Martin Shakley, the genial and popular president of the seniors, and by the president of the frosh. The speaker of the evening will be Dr. von KleinSmid, our new prexy, and this will be the first opportunity the lawyers have had to hear the new president from the rostrum.
This year will be no exception to what has been the annual courtesy on the part of the management of the Maryland Hotel, in inviting as its guests the law students and their own guests, to a dance in the Maryland ballroom after the banquet. The floor is one of the best in Southern California and is large enough to accommodate the large crowd expected to be in attendance. Each student at Law is privileged and expected to invito his lady friend as his guest of the evening, in order that this feature of the evening’s entertainment may be complete.
Frank P. “Tubby” , Lockett, president of the Law school student body ,will be the toastmaster of the evening.

UTAH AGGIES, Feb. 2.—Bagher Kahn and Fred Jehanian, from Persia, have registered at the College preliminary to sending for eleven more of their countrymen who are no wstudy-ing in California and New York. These students will purchase a $5000 farm in Cache Valley, which they will work collectively and use the proceeds towards paying their way through college.
Seniors, this is your last chance to pose for that El Rodeo photograph. Your final opportunity to go down in the pictorial history of the University of Southern California. Make the “rogues’ gallery” of the class of ’22 complete and have your picture taken today. You have only three days of grace. Beginning Thursday of next week a fine of fifty cents will be charged for holding up the parade of class beauties. No particular time is specified. Just any time between 0 a. m. and 4 p. m. will do—after class, before class, or if necessary in between times.
The juniors have a few more days of grace. Their case is not so urgent. Junior pictures must be in by the end of the week, however, or have imposed on them the same financial strain under which the seniors are soon to labor. Junior pictures may be taken any time during the next week, and will not have to wait until the dignified and august seniors are taken care of.
