If so, look out; because Mack Sennett, worldwide beauty judge will be anxious to enter her in the El Rodeo Beauty Tournament that starts Monday, February 19. according to Bart Hutchins, Editor of the publication. If the title "Beauty Tournament” alias ‘Beauty Contest” is not understood it might be well to say—in plain English—that a beauty tournament is a con- Ctest thru which the best looking, the most charming, and the most finely featured women entered in the competition are chosen. Instead of having just one Helen of Troy who will reign supreme this year, El Rodeo has planned to stage a Beauty Tournament in which the eighfc most beautiful jjirls on the Southern California campus are to be chosen. A special section in the year book will be set aside for the eight fairest damsels, each winner claiming a full page printed in two color tones. Each sorority is urged to enter at least two girls from their group. Pictures are to be turned in to Ed Blain, dubbed “Squire” of the tournament. 'Tis rumored that this is the chance of a lifetime for Sir Ed as he has been given the right by the powers that be, to “bust” up to any girl on the campus whom he thinks will be good subject Fullerton Tribune Edited By the Journalism Students of Southern California The entire staff of the Fullerton Tribune will be given a holiday next Saturday when nine members of the Trojan staff will take complete charge of the publication of the paper. Arrangements for this trip have been completed by Professor Marc Goodnow of the journalism department. Those making the trip are to be on hand in the Tribune office at 7 a. m. and those listed below are asked to make arrangements with Ralph Holly for transportation. Staff positions for the day have been assigned as follows: Ralph Holly, managing editor, assisted by George Jordan, Grady Setzler, Dorothy Crowley, Freeman Hall, Helen Faulkner, Kay Potter, Bill StewTart and Jack Olds. “Practical experience,” says Professor Goodnow, ‘ received by the Trojan staff members on trips of this kind is extremely valuable for those planning to make journalism their life work. It is hoped that all the staff from the editor-in-chief to the freshman reporter, will be given an opportunity of serving on one of the five papers to be visited during the coming semester.” Plans are being formed by Mr. Goodnow for similar visits to the Alhambra Post-Advocate, the San Pedro Pilot, the Pomona Progress, and to one of the Whittier dailies. In every case the Southern California journalism students will assume the entire responsibility of publishing the paper on that day. Besides the editorial work, the business end will be taken care of by selected members of the advertising class, who will write, sell, and arrange the display advertising. Com- RAIN MAY BRING POSTPONEMENT Unless there was heavy rainfall early this morning or today, the second annual inter-fraternity track and field meet scheduled for 1:30 this afternoon at the Coliseum will be held, according to Director of Athletics, Bill Hunter If there should be heavy rains the meet will be held next week. The meet will bring together novice teams from the eighteen social fraternities on the campus, who are to represent their chosen sorority. A parade of the athletes is to precede the tournament. About 200 men have been entered in the meet. TROJAN TALENT GOES OVER AIR Evaristo Pexson, Native of Is-__j lands, and U. S. C.

The debating team including Coach Alan Nichols will entrain this afternoon for Redlands where they meet their opponents at 7 o’clock P. M. As so ably upheld last night in the Touchstone Theatre, the topic for discussion will be the same, only this time the local squad will uphold the affirmative of the question. ‘‘Resolved: That the Immigration of 1924 should be amended as to admit Japanese upon the same basis as Europeans.” A mere coincidence perhaps .but the fact remains significant, namely—the debating coach at Redlands also signs j himself as Nichols on his checks. Local students know by this time that, the name Nichols stands for the high-1 est and most efficient in training, and debating. As a matter of fact, the “Bulldog” coach is well known as being able to develope some mighty fine. Tower Room Mysteries Are Disclosed To New Students That the two great mysteries. How 1 tory, who daily look down, with mixed To Get Into The Tower, and What Is disapproval and amusement, on the gentleman in question is quite a judge of beauty himself, altho he has kept it a secret up to the present year of the Modern Period. FOR GOOD SCHOOL Now to be serious Mr. Hutchins states that this Tournament is no joke; that it is not being run to cause anyone any embarrasment; but is being put on for the good of the school and El Rodeo. He states that the honor of being one of the eight who will have their pictures appear in El Rodeo will be surpassed by no other among the women students of Southern California. He states that such a section has been carried on with success each year among the leading coed universities throughout the United States. The honor of being one of the first eight not only lends distinction to the individual winner, but to her sorority as well, states Mr. Hutchins. Ill a statement yesterday Mr. Hutchins said, “Turn in all pictures to Ed Blain in the El Rodeo office before nept Friday. Each sorority will have to enter two contestants to make the affair a success. This section is to come first in El Rodeo, and the for* tunate eight who have their pictures printed will receive prizes as well as being part of the beauty section of El Rodeo. It is well worth entering.” ties of the evening by playing a medley of college songs including Sweetheart of a Sigma Chi, Violets and Three Cheers for S. C. Also their number “Kiss Me Again” with variations provoked quite a laugh out of the studio audience. $100 IS OFFERED FOR GOOD S. C. YELL HANDBOOKS ON SALE There are a limited number of Freshmen Handbooks on sale in the Associated Students Store for newly registered students. The Handbook includes all campus traditions, directory of buildings and fraternities. A cash prize of $100 was offered by Allen T. Archer, a member of the S. C. alumni association, at the regular meeting of the executive committee Tuesday evening, for the best yell submitted to a special committee of judges. Harold Stonier is chairman of the com mittee with one member of the al-! umni association and one student composing the rest of the committee. The yell contest is to be held during the first days of March and is under the direction of the Rally Committee. This contest was prompted by i the feeling that there are not enough good Southern California yells. Sever-1 al reasons were given why the stu-i dents should support the contest. It | has a monetary value, it will be in-j teresting and it affords a chance to do something for the old “Alma Ma-i ter. Ned Lewis added that “this contest comes at an opportune time and should lend interest to the second semester life.” IMPORTANT MEETING CALLED signated as “Filipino Night”, and the entire program was in keeping with this appendage. Evaristo C. Pexson, Filipino graduate of Southern California Law School two years ago, and who, previous to his coming to this country, had lived in the Philippines, delivered a most pleasing and enlightening talk on current conditions in the Islands. Mr. Pexson is now practicing law in Los Angeles. “The Philippines are strongly urging their freedom,” said Mr. Pexson in part, “and those with a broad view of such affairs, can realize that the people there are fully capable of handling their own government. Even at the present time, the Philippines are governed under their own constitution^ the United States handling only problems of international importance. NO UNFRIENDLY FEELING pus who have held the belief that the university should have a daily publication. The issue on Tuesday which inaugurates the new daily will be slightly smaller in size, the number of columns being changed from seven to six. The six column is identical to those dailies of Washington and Stanford universities. There will also be a definite change in the system of editing the paper. Promotions have been made by the editor and six members of the staff have been appointed to associate with the editor of the Trojan to edit and publish the daily. These associate editors will have full charge of the paper on the days assigned Yy the editor to them. Dorothy Crowley, Oliver Howland, George Jordan, Chester Mackie, and Freeman Hall will receive promotions to associate editorship. STAFF CHANGE MADE Other changes in the staff are to be made. These will be announced by the editor later. Ralph Holly who has been managing editor the past semester will continue this term in that position on the staff. “The Daily Trojan,” said Mr. Busby, “is the realization of long years of 1 hope. The Trojan has been published “Just because the Philippines are j from & weekly issue to four issueg a seeking their independence from the 1 weefc and at lagt -t win attain the dJg.

It was in the tower room, directly below that inaccessable platform, where, as it will be repeated in tradition, the Tower Room Trumpet blew its first feeble blast.

How 1 tory, who daily look down, with mixed To Get Into The Tower, and What Is disapproval and amusement, on the gentleman in question is quite a judge of beauty himself, altho he has kept it a secret up to the present year of the Modern Period. FOR GOOD SCHOOL Now to be serious Mr. Hutchins states that this Tournament is no joke; that it is not being run to cause anyone any embarrasment; but is being put on for the good of the school and El Rodeo. He states that the honor of being one of the eight who will have their pictures appear in El Rodeo will be surpassed by no other among the women students of Southern California. He states that such a section has been carried on with success each year among the leading coed universities throughout the United States. The honor of being one of the first eight not only lends distinction to the individual winner, but to her sorority as well, states Mr. Hutchins. Ill a statement yesterday Mr. Hutchins said, “Turn in all pictures to Ed Blain in the El Rodeo office before nept Friday. Each sorority will have to enter two contestants to make the affair a success. This section is to come first in El Rodeo, and the for* tunate eight who have their pictures printed will receive prizes as well as being part of the beauty section of El Rodeo.

YELL HANDBOOKS ON SALE There are a limited number of Freshmen Handbooks on sale in the Associated Students Store for newly registered students. The Handbook includes all campus traditions, directory of buildings and fraternities. A cash prize of $100 was offered by Allen T. Archer, a member of the S. C. alumni association, at the regular meeting of the executive committee Tuesday evening, for the best yell submitted to a special committee of judges. Harold Stonier is chairman of the com mittee with one member of the al-! umni association and one student composing the rest of the committee. The yell contest is to be held during the first days of March and is under the direction of the Rally Committee. This contest was prompted by i the feeling that there are not enough good Southern California yells. Sever-1 al reasons were given why the stu-i dents should support the contest. It | has a monetary value, it will be in-j teresting and it affords a chance to do something for the old “Alma Ma-i ter. Ned Lewis added that “this contest comes at an opportune time and should lend interest to the second semester life.” IMPORTANT MEETING CALLED signated as “Filipino Night”, and the entire program was in keeping with this appendage. Evaristo C. Pexson, Filipino graduate of Southern California Law School two years ago, and who, previous to his coming to this country, had lived in the Philippines, delivered a most pleasing and enlightening talk on current conditions in the Islands. Mr. Pexson is now practicing law in Los Angeles. “The Philippines are strongly urging their freedom,” said Mr. Pexson in part, “and those with a broad view of such affairs, can realize that the people there are fully capable of handling their own government. Even at the present time, the Philippines are governed under their own constitution^ the United States handling only problems of international importance. NO UNFRIENDLY FEELING pus who have held the belief that the university should have a daily publication. The issue on Tuesday which inaugurates the new daily will be slightly smaller in size, the number of columns being changed from seven to six. The six column is identical to those dailies of Washington and Stanford universities. There will also be a definite change in the system of editing the paper. Promotions have been made by the editor and six members of the staff have been appointed to associate with the editor of the Trojan to edit and publish the daily. These associate editors will have full charge of the paper on the days assigned Yy the editor to them. Dorothy Crowley, Oliver Howland, George Jordan, Chester Mackie, and Freeman Hall will receive promotions to associate editorship. STAFF CHANGE MADE Other changes in the staff are to be made. These will be announced by the editor later. Ralph Holly who has been managing editor the past semester will continue this term in that position on the staff. “The Daily Trojan,” said Mr. Busby, “is the realization of long years of 1 hope. The Trojan has been published “Just because the Philippines are j from & weekly issue to four issueg a seeking their independence from the 1 weefc and at lagt -t win attain the dJg.
