GILLUM, PHOTOGRAPHER Picture Shows Animals Of the Sea in Their Native Haunts
“Ocean Life,” a one reel education film has been produced entirely by the University of Southern California, dealing only with biological life and is the result of five months labor on the part of those responsible of the film. The production was supervised by Professor A. B. Ulrey, was directed by Paul Greely, another faculty member of the Biology department .and Don Gillum is responsible for the photography, continuity, and cutting of the film.
The film begins by showing a number of U. S. C. students from the Biology classes leaving Los Angeles Harbor on a small boat to collect microscopic specimens. A specially constructed dredge was made to get these specimens from the ocean. Close-ups in detail of these sea animals are shown and they photograph with exceptional celarness. The sea animals, after being dredged from the ocean, are put into an acquarium in order to keep them alive. Some of the rarest sea specimens were found on the trips during the making of the film, among them the Lancelot ,one of the lowest types of animal life, and tbe singing fish of the sea.

Mr. Currier, a Friend,
Js University’s Benetactor
By CLARE WINGER
"The students of the University of Southern California should meet Mr. Currier.” was the statement of Harold J. Stonier. "But who is Mr. Currier?” you ask. And well you might. Mr. Currier is not personally known to you, but he is toiling each day to make your school life a little more pleasant. You didn’t know it? No, of course you didn’t. Mr. Currier didn’t want you to. He desires only to be known as a friend of the students.
Mr. Currier is a familiar figure on the campus. He begins his daily work at seven in the morning, and works until late in the evening. He is assistant superintendent *f buildings and grounds, looks after the carpenter work, tbe plumbing, or any other job which may need attention. And for this service he receives compensation, to be sure, but let’s begin at the beginning.
Mr. Currier is a graduate of tbe second class of the University of Southern California of the year 1885, and to the university he has been loyal. After graduation, he moved away from the state and was gone for about twelve years. He returned, and took up his duties as a minister of the Methodist church. He first became connected with the university in his
present capacity about six years ago. lt was in the fall of the year at the beginning of the school term. Mr. Huse went to Mr. Currier and asked him if he would help them over at the university to prepare for the opening of school. Mr. Currier, who had retired from business, was glad to do so. He saw that professors and stu-
dents were working to prepare for the fall term, and it orcurred Lo him that here would be a way to serve his Alma Mater and at the same time find happiness for himself. He arranged with the university to stay on at his work, in return for which he was to be paid the regular wage. As he explained, he saw a need that he could fill. He wanted to contribute something to the school. He arranged the matter by drawing up a joint agreement with his wife to the effect that all money which he should receive from the university, together with interest, was to be turned back to the school. He has already turned over to the university from this fund the sum of $6500.00
Mr. Currier is now past seventy years of age. He says: "If I can only do something each day to make the life of the students a little more pleasant, I am happy. I don’t do this work for my bread and butter. I do it because I love the students and want to be among them, and I feel that those whom I know love me. I receive my compensation in that, and I am happy. If my services are appreciated, I want only to believe that each graduating student will carry the spirit of service to others. If that could be so, what a wonderful university we would have!
I	have one honor that you will never have. I belong to that graduated class of the university which is four square one hundred per cent for the service of his school.’ He paused, smiling. “You see I graduated in a class of five and they are all dead but me. I alone am left, and we are devoting our lives, my wife and I, to the university,
Tallman and Syvertson To Defend Southern California Against Utah
Leland Tallman and Arthur Syvertson are the debaters who have been selected by Coach Nichols to represent t'he University of Southern California in the big inter-sectional contests to be held in the Touchstone Theater tonight and tomorrow.
Tonight Brigham Young University of Utah will attempt to conquer the University of Southern California word experts and tomorrow Troy will be invaded by a team from the University of New Mexico. Admission is free and both debates will begin promptly at eight o’clock.
The clashes with Brigham Young and New Mexico mark the first of a series of big interstate contests. Next rweek U. S. C. will compete against Williamette and Neva&e. Both debates will be held here.
Both tonight and tomorrow Tallman and Syvertson will uphold the negative side of the questoin: Resolved: That the constitution of the United States be so amended as to admit Japanese into the United States upon the same basis as Europeans. These are the last debates upon that subject.
Both of the men who will represent Troy have had considerable experience in forensics. Arthur Syvertson was a prominent member of last year’s team, while Leland Tallman, who is a transfer from Parsons College, Iowa, was one of the star representatives of that school.
Brigham Young has been “pointed” toward tonight’s affair with U. S. C. as they are anxious to even the score with the Trojans, who are the only team to hold a majority of decisions over them.
Ray Brennan, manager of the U. S.
C.	debate team, says that both tonight’s wrangle with the Mormons and the affair tomorrow evening with New Mexico are certainly to be lively, spirited contests and promises that the Trojans will be able to make a good showing for themselves.
Box Placed in Foyer For Yell Contributions
One hundred dollars in gold has been offered by Allen T. Archer, prominent Los Angeles business man for the best yell submitted by March 31. Mr. Archer offered a prize several years ago for a song and it resulted in our present “Alma Mater.”
A large box has been placed in the arcade of the Administration building and yells are coming in fine according to Don Cameron, head of the Rally Committee. Cameron states that this contest is of the utmost importance because of the criticism which has been reflected on S. C. by other schools tor not having a distinctive yell. Another important thing brought out by Mr. Cameron was that the yell should have in it S. C. and not U. S. C. S. C. is the approved name for the University now and a good yell with this change wil help to advertise the fact.
Quill Club Will Hold Meet Tomorrow Night
Quill Club will meet tomorrow night at the Iota Sigma Theta house. There will be the usual reading of manuscripts followed by criticism. Members who did not read manuscripts for the last meeting will bring manuscripts tomorrow night.
Numerous submissions have been received by Chet Mackie, president of the Quill Club, with recent tryouts for membership in the club. As the number of new members will be limited, selection of new members by the manuscript committee will be somewhat difficult.

NEW NATIONAL FRAT APPEARSON CAMPUS
Mu Sigma Phi Is Granted Chapter of Theta Kappa Nu At S. C.
Mu Sigma Phi, social fraternity, has been granted a chapter of Theta Kappa Nu, according to a telegram received by Bill Delphy, president of the local organization. Tbe new chapter, which will be known as the California Alpha chapter, is t'he first to be granted in any university west of Oklahoma.
Theta Kappa Nu is one of the newer national fraternities, it was formed at the 1924 National Interfraternity conference. It has twenty chapters in accredited universities in the central, southern and eastern parts of the United States. Theta Kappa Nu has been fully recognized by the National Interfraternity Council and stands on a level with every other natoinal fraternity comprised in that body.
Mu Sigma Phi was organized in 1921 as a Pre-Medical fraternity and remained as such until the possibility of a medical school at U. S. C. was entirely beyond reach. In 1923, the fraternity became social and has remained a local until the present.
Initation of the new fraternity has not been difinitely set, although it is expected to take place sometime in April.
JUNIOR PROM BIDS OPEN TO UNDERCLASSMEN
Large Blocks are Being Reserved For Fraternities and Sororities
PREDICT RECORD CROWD
Play Is Noted For Its Boldness, Frankness and Humor
St. Patrick’s Day Proves To Be Good Selling Day For Tickets
HELD AT BILTMORE
Mothballs Taken From “Tuxes’' In Readiness For Annual Formal
, Astronomers predict that Red Haynes and Bill Hansen, the men who have tickets to sell for the Junior Prom which will be held March 27th, at the Biltmore, will be the most sought after men on the campus today, because the sale of tickets is open ed to the humble wearers of pea-green and lumbermen’s shirts.
Everyone the least bit social, or sociable, is trying to get a ticket for the Prom. “The trouble this year is getting a ticket—not a date” say the shieks, “thanks to the fussers guide. And also every girl wants to go to the Prom. What Marjorie Rice said about the favors made them all eager to get one.”
The committee reports that since the Ides of March have safely passed many conservative young men have finally taken courage and bought tickets. Also many happy Irishmen bought tickets yesterday and most of the two hundred, fifty have been sold.
That is why the sale is opened today to underclassmen. As Revelle Harrison expressed it, ’’They were promised a chance to buy tickets but if we wainted till Monday, as we had originally planned, they would only have a ghost of a chance .they would only have sold much faster than we had expected.”
(CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)
This morning the ticket sale opened for National Collegiate Players’ production of Galsworthy's “The Silver Box.” Large blocks of seats are reserved for the fraternities. These seats may be obtained by calling for them individually. Tickets will be on general sale for fifty and seventy-five cents.
Ralph Holly .campus dramatic critic said in an interview today, “The Silver Box” contains dramatic appeal that will be universal. It is a play that college students will highly appreciate. It is a story of courts, crime, and money. We all know how money ‘will fix it,’ but few have the nerve to write it. “The Silver Box” is noted for its boldness, frankness, and comedy. The humorous element that runs throughout is onethat is particularly delight-out is one that is particularly delight-that will thrill those who like the ‘dark room’ actions. It is a play that will hold your interest to the end.”
Miss Florence Hubbard, directress, has assembled a cast from the members of the dramatic society in which she has absolute trust. The past work of such well known campus actors as Solly Seamons, Selvyn Levinson, Gertrude Street, Genevieve Mulligan, Vesta Owen. Harry Hall, Helenita Lieberg. Bill Hogue, Homer Merchant. Mont McMillan, and Steven Fargo. HAVE EXPERIENCE
“The Show Shop” and “Polly with a Past” are the more recent productions in which Solly Seamons has scored hits with his character portrayals. Selvyn Levinson will be remembered for his work in “Seven Keys to Baldpate” as the crooked mayor. Gertrude Street, as a member of Zeta Phi Eta, speech professional sorority, and a student of the School of Speech has won recognition as the feminine lead in "The Boomerang.” last year’s junior play.
Genevieve Mulligan Of “Seven Keys to Baldpate” fame and Vesta Owen of “Smilin’ Through” are members of the organization.
Harry Hall is perhaps better known on the campus as a clever dogger. Helenita Lieberg is an alumna of the university. She starred when ‘‘The War God” stormed on the boards of

Reporters For Yellow Dog Know All Campus Scandal
By TERREL DE LAPP
NOTICE
All members of the university who ire Episcopalians are requested to meet in the Y. M. C. A. on this Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 to meet Dr. Covelle the Executive Secretary for Student Work in Diocese of Los Angeles. The meeting will last 30 minutes.
LOST—Gamma Epsilon pin. Will finder please return to copy desk. Trojan editorial office.
That big wrolves that dhased Little Red Overcoat and thru the big woods and ran away with her umbrella will look about as tame as a minuet dance would on a Ziegfield Follies bill, when the Yellow Dog romps madly across the campus on Friday.
This Yellow Dog howls once a year, but when he does, he howls to the wide world about all that has been chucked away in closets of seemingly innocent students and faculty members alike. He knows no bounds, and is being urged on by the sharp pens of the new Sigma Sigma pledges.
Altho there aren’t so many ljttle Red Overcoats on Southern California’s campus this semester, for the simple reason that too many red ties are being worn, The Yellow Bow-wow is said to be colorblind and will attack regardless of the color of overcoats.
Now' from what's already be**n spilled. it might seem that we are trying to make out the aforementioned puppies as being vicious. That’s all wrong, he will be four times terrible. He will ferrit out the truth about every one regardless of whether a student drives an Abraham or uses Lary’s trolley-car. He will spill the low-down on everyone in Southern California, paying no attention to height, weight, age, or birth-place. His objejct will be to startle as well as inform.
A trip through the dark alley’s of the Mr. Hyde sides of Trojan lives will be offered for fifteen cents a ride.
That is, one of the scandal mongers can be tamed so that it will fit a pocket or purse for three nickels. In fact the price of a hot-dog will so tame it that he will howl only when told to. This is one of the tricks about the brute, along with that or ruining
S.	C. reputations.
Such burning questions as WTiat’s Become of Sally. Who has the papers? Should she ask him in? WTio’s going to win the $100 for naming the new cafe in Pomona? Why does father ride a bicycle? Where did the cork go when it was blown out? Why are short skirts so short? Why did Mr. B. Young locate in Salt Lake City? And Why it’s cheaper to marry, may be discussed, and otherwise, in the columns of the “Growler.”
Lake Arrowhead trees can't talk, but the Yellow' Dog isn’t proud where1 he spends his weed-ends—and then there are others. It's rumored that the Bachelors might, have been to the I^ake over the w'eek-end for a playful frolic in the snow, and that the Yellow Dog didn’t miss. He’s a cinch as a reported and a broadcaster. Time may tell, and maybe the Yellow Do? will too?
The only thing that could be more personal than the Yellow Dog is a truthful diary and there aren’t many of those. College is supposed to make its victims blase and blah-blah .but if the Yellow Dog once gets started on hirt fateful way across the campus, there will be blushes abundant.
