FRIDAY RALLIES ARE COMPULSORY
A new" system of regulating attend-j ance on the student body assemblies held every Friday throughout the academic year will be adopted next semester, according to a report of the chapel committee with a sub-commit-tee of the A. S. U. S. C. Executive Committee. With the adoption of the new system, attendance at the ten o’clock period on Fridays will be made partially compulsory.
It has not been decided just how attendance will be checked on that day, but according to Ned Lewis, president of the associated students, a system of checking will be inaugurated under the control of the students. There will be practically twenty Friday morniug assemblies and of that number any fourteen must be attended.
According to the committee stringent means were made necessary thru the lack of interest displayed by students in the Friday rallies this semester.

‘‘All checks must be in by Saturday noon,” he continued, “due to the fact that the books of account must be closed as soon as possible to keep down overhead expense. The first re-

Wamp Favorable To Critic Because of Brilliant Wit
By L. E. AKIN
Tommy Wamp burst out last Tuesday, but so far it is not recorded howr many lives he has saved from the boredom of final examinations. However, it is true that he caused mingled joy and grief; for while he enabled one young man to pass his trial in biology, a sweet girl suffering from chaps he made to have a cracked lip because of his jokes. At present, then, she has no need of the anti-necking device.
Nowadays one must always consider the good a magazine, book, movie or

With a friend, Bardewych left Germany two years ago after they had been forced to leave school because of lack of money, to see the world and to gather autographs. The two young men intend to publish the results of their interviews in book form after they have circled the entire globe. Bardewych lost his friend in a subway tunnel shortly after arriving in New York City. He states that he has since heard from his companion, and that he has gone on to Japan to cover that field of their work.
Twenty-thousand miles have been covered since he left Germany, the young adventurer declares, and that twelve thousand of those have been covered on foot.
He states that he will visit Mexico next, and will then travel throughout South America. He speaks fluently nearly every language.
The Encino Country Club is to be the scene of one of the most brilliant of collegiate throngs when the annual Interfraternity Bali is held there next Thursday evening, February 3.
The Grand March will commence at ten o'clock, and Ed Green and Helen Humiston are to head the procession with officers of the council following.
Those who have received invitations should see Kay Elmquist or Dick Stith for their second tickets. These must be presented for entrance.
For any who have not been to the club as yet, directions are given to follow Ventura Blvd. past the Hollywood Golf Club.

“Her Compromise” is a hot little tale and its moral value is uncertain.
The drawing of Hard Hearted Hannah is noteworthy. One is relieved to know she has joined the Salvation Army; she had so many possibilities. The most demoralizing cut in the issue is the coupe with two calves out of the window. Simple Susie was surprised to know that is the way they do it.

SENIORS CHOOSE OFFICERS
As a result of a vote cast in Senior class elections for the coming semester John Woods was elected president, Dorothy Haldeman, vice-president. Dorothy Crowley, secretary, and O. K. Krause, treasurer.
According to George Orme, president of the class during the last semester, a record vote was cast by the fourth year students.
Misses Bowen was graduated from tant registrar at Southern California, was married to John J. Huff of Boise, Idaho, at the home of her parents, Judge and Mrs. W. M. Bowen in Thirty-fifth street. Tuesday evening at 7 o’clock. Reverend Ezra E. Healey of this University officiated.
The ceremony was witnessed by but a few intimate friends of the family, but a large reception was held following. The color scheme used for the wedding and reception was pink and green, carried out by wild fruit blossoms and ferns.
Mises Bow’en was graduated from the University of Southern California and is a member of Alpha Chi Omega and the honorary society Torch and Tassel. Mr. Huff was graduated from the University of Iowa and also from George Washington University of Washington D. C. He is a Sigma Chi fraternity member.
Harvard.—Once more Yale got the j jump on Harvard, this time it is neither Professor Baker, nor football; but nature herself has taken a hand in favoring Eli by making the eclipse total at Yale and only partial at Harvard.
Chief Justice Loais Myers of the Supreme Court of California will be the honor guest and leading speaker of the evening, at the annual banquet of the U. S. C. School of Law’ next Friday night. President R. B. von KleinSmid, Harold Stonier, and Ned Lewis are also specially invited guests who will address the legal group and their guests.
Legally speaking, this banquet, the most important event of the school year, has been a custom since memory of man runneth not to the contrary and is greatly anticipated by the advocates. Final announcements of the Executive committee, regarding the program for the evening are not only encouraging but are also inspiring. Much is being left to the curiosity of the guests concerning the features of the evening, but it has been learned that the place cards and programs, with their unique and instructive design will well surpass those of last year, which created a lasting comment. Other features of the evening are withheld.
VIRGINIA IS CHOSEN
The Virginia Hotel with its ideal location by the sea has been selected by the committee for the place of the affair, February 6. at 7 p. m. Those who attended last year well remember the superb music of the Virginia Orchestra and the attractive design of the Hidalgo Room in which the dinner will be served. One’s appetite will easily be forgotten between courses by various responses from the distinguished guests who will be present. Besides those speakers already mentioned there will be Lowell 'Lindley, Law Student Body President who will preside, and different class Presidents who will give short talks.
In as much as the banquet will acquire the form of a dinner dance, most of those who attend are expected to escort a fair guest. Previously there has been much regret expressed by the thoughtless, who found themselves alone for the “better'’ enjoyment of the evening. Reservations are now being made at the office of the down town school. It is urged that those who plan on attending sign up at once so that the committee can further their plans. The tickets have been ready for two or three days but there has been little response. According to John Oliver, chairman of the Executive committee .it is absolutely necessary that all reservations be made by Thursday noon of next week .after which time, it will be impossible to obtain a ticket.
EASY FOR LAWYERS
An attractive feature for the legal students is the ease on the pocket book, for they may obtain their individual tickets free of charge. Howr-ever the evening, not being complete without a guest, these tickets are being sold for $2.50 a plate.
For the benefit of those not having other means of transportation ,the Pacific Electric announces the scheduling of cars, leaving at 5:45 and 6:10 p. m. which will arrive in time for the banquet at seven.
will take place on February 10, in Bovard Auditorium, at which time one hundred and four graduates will receive their diplomas and degrees. Elaborate preparations are being made, and Dean Waugh, of Liberal Arts, has secured President von KleinSmid to deliver the principal address.
The plan of holding mid-year graduation ceremonies has long been in process of formation in Southern California, said Dean Waugh yesterday, and it has not been carried out before due to the small number of students in the February classes. However, it was felt that this year's enrollment was large enough to warrant graduation, and the cabinet agreed to the plan. Should the number of Seniors at February increase as in the past, said Dean Waught, it is likely that these exercises will become an annual affair.
Professor Willett will be in charge of ceremonies, and will lead the procession of faculty members and graduates from the arcade into the auditorium. A splendid musical program is also being arranged, the details of which will be announced later.
“Mid-year graduations will enable students who have completed their work to enter their chosen professions without further delay,” said Dean
From Buenos Aires, often termed the Paris of South America, he crossed the Andes into the Mendoza Valley, famed the world over for the excellence of its vineyards. Here he was met by two former students of Southern California. Speaking of the trip across the Andes, Dr. von KleinSmid found the journey “wonderful but tiring, for the cars were small and the curves numerous and sharp ”
UNIVERSITY LIFE DIFFERS ‘ Latin American Universities are more European than North American.” he said in reference to his visits to the seats of learning in the various countries. “The elementary school is completed much sooner than in our own land. When a youth reaches the grammar school he is called a college man. The South American universities serve the purpose of turning out a man ready for a definite career. The South American goes to the University as often as he wishes and as long as he wishes. The natives find it hard to understand the North American universities where the students attend every day. The professors are no more regular in attendance than the students. One student body circulated a petition demanding that one of the professors be more regular in his attendance.

In closing the President expressed his pleasure at being back at the L niversity of Southern California, and praised the attitude of the student body during the happenings of the past semester.
Many Uses Found Noisy
Hued Sophomore Shirts
By BILL
“Sing a song of soap suds, how’s your second year shirt?
We’ll send ours to the laundry, when it’s thick enuff with dirt.”
Thus goes the rollicking lyric of the Sophomore Class hymn. One month has passed since the inauguration of the wearing of the official garment of the Sophomore Class, and the books are being balanced to try to determine the effect w'hich these shirts have had on the morale and habits of the campus women, as well as the number of laundries which have gone to the receivers. The trial balance shows some startling facts:
Out of the 140 Sophomore Semester Shrits which are now being worn by the men of the Sophomore Class, 139 of them have been worn continuously since their purchase. One man was forced to remove his shirt in order to wear his tuxedo to a formal, but put it back on as soon as he reached home. (Rumor has it that these shirts served well as pajamas during the recent cold wave which passed through here.)
Ten well-known second-year men from the LTniversity were picked up by the authorities, after they were mistaken for vagabonds (such is the collegiate appearance w'hich these shirts lend to one). They were released however, soon after being identified, and the incident was soon hush-

ed up.
The “Sophomore Traditions Committee" has received no reward for its ingenuity in designing and selecting an article which has met with such popularity among the men (commission given it by Dimon & Phythian not counted).
No laundries have gone out of business on account of lack of trade.
No suicides have been committed iu the other classes because of jealousy.
Maybe it is a little early in the year to balance the books, but there has been a request that the Trojan give the results of the wearing of the shirts after a period of one month, and here it is. It may also be said that besides being used as shirt, pajama, autoduster, overcoat, and such, these shirts may be put to other uses around the home as being stood in the corner to take the place of the olden “coat of mail” which is in many homes. These shirts must be worn some time before the degree of rigidity which enables them to stand thus is attained. The line is drawn by the class on the use of the sacred shirt being suffered to serve as a mop-rag, because of the time it takes the heavy woolen material to dry out before being in a condition to be worn.
the morning’s scrubbing. This would reflect on the class attendance.
