historian Relates How S. C. Gained the Name of Trojans
By BETTY BAKER
i tack in the days of 1912, when jby was the manly sport indulged in Southern California college boys, fighting thirteen of U. S. C. were stinguished from their bitter Po-Jma, Oxy, and Whittier enemies by sad misnomer, “Methodists.” iThat this name. "Methodists,” while Le, was sadly lacking in spirit and jlor, had been felt for a long time, (itil finally at the time when 1 Lrst entered into competition with her lorthorn neighbors of California and Stanford, and lifted out of the college (ategory, both students and university lutborities began casting about for a &ew and distinctive name, with the re* suit that the word Trojan came into sxistance.
President George F. Bovard enlisted the interest of newspaper men of |rhe city in this connection with the result that Owen N. Bird, at that time sport writer on the Times, impressed rith the stubborn fight and the in-Idominitable spirit of the Southern (California men, dubbed the Southland ' warriors Trojans.
Spreading like wildfire, the word Trojan met with immediate favor, and unnoticed, the spirit of the valiant warriors of old filtered into the spirit of the University of Southern California.
Since that time the word has been inseparably connection with the university and is conceded to be the most, appropriate and unique name of all eol-llege slogan-names. Trojan-warriois. Trojan-flght, Trojan-spirit, in fact
every phase of college activity has become associated with the word, and the university itself has become Troy.
The old regine of “Methodists” passed out, and a new order of Trojans came into existence thirteen years ago. in the days when rallies were "jolly-ups,” when the Associated Women’s Student Body held shirtwaist receptions, and a Prohibition League exerted a powerful influence on college life, the traditional Trojan spirit was born.
Many names, now connected with
the direction of the university were
then known as the leaders in that first
\
year of Trojanism. Ralph LaPorte, present head of the department of physical education ,was editor of the Daily Southern Californian, Julia McCorkle an assistant news editor, and Carl Knoph was listed as a reporter.
Harold Stonier, manager of El Rodeo and Warren Bovard, known as Bovie, were popular campus celebrities. Coach Cromwell grinned under a derby and the lusty yell of Southern California rooters was:
Sis-Boom-Bah
(Cuckoo)
Rackety Hackety Wah Who Wah Rackety Hackety Wah Who Wah Zip Boom Bah
Zip Boom Bah	t
U. S. C. Rah Rah Rah Brrrr Boom Boom Rah Rah Varsity.
*	The word Trojan however, has lived, and is today accepted as a part of the university without questioning as to its origin.
“JAYWALKING” IS COL. SMITH’S TALK
Noted Speaker Tells How Easily Students Take Mental Short-Cuts
“Jaywalking Through Life." was the subject discussed by Colonel Smith, noted Assembly speaker, a? the Tuesday morning chapel hgur.
Four kinds of jaywalkers were mentioned by Colonel Smith. Those in the Religious, Scholastic, Business and Political worlds.
In the world of the students .many are perfectly willing to take mental short cuts. Smith pointed out the .act that this attitude was hard on students who really worked for all they got.
•	Temptation was never more insidious than today, in the business world.’' Colonel Smith said.
“There are two distinct and perpetual kinds of foolishness; those who give advice, and those who won’t take it.” If a person wishes to, he may prove anything true or false.
Perishing Square in Los Angeles is a splendid example of jayjwalkers in the realm of politics. The bench warmers of the Square have a theory of government all their own.
One can not love other countries as well as their own is the doctrine of Colonel Smith. If the opposite theory were true men should love their neighbors wives.
In the field of religion the people who have no vision perish.
“There is always a proper time to cross the street and to change directions.

EDUCATION COMES HIGH NOWADAYS
Higher education is becoming still higher. Tuition at Princeton, Harvard and the University of Nevada has made a skyward leap, to take effect next fall.
Princeton: The yearly tutition has been raised to $400 for the year.
Harvard: In the college engineering school, graduate school of arts and sciences, and law school, a $50 increase in the tuition fee will be levied beginning in the year 1925-1926. The fee in these schools will be $300, excepting the law school, where it will be $250.
University of Nevada: Because of the great number of outside students that flock to the university, the tuition for non-resident students is to be raised from $50 to $75. This was done to keep non-resident students from crowding out residents, also to provide for new instructors and equipment.—New Student News Service.

University of Utah.—Freshmen have at last been given equal rights with upper classmen on the campus. The student body formed a resolution “that having activities dangerous Jo property and health will be abolished
Indiana University—A discussion is being held on the campus as to whether the Boosters Club is a legitimate organization or not.
“The flowers that bloom in the spring,—tra—la — had nothing to do with the case,” but in the spring a young wife's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of a vacation. Even more so turns the mind of a pretty hard-wonted young bachelor girl.
Marie wanted the vacation. That was the beginning, the route, the branehe ,and the trunk of the trouble. That is also the plot of the little comedy hit, “Almost Bigamy,” which is scheduled to entertain the whole student body on Friday, March 6.
Ellsworth Ross, the author, stated that if this play failed to please then he was all wrong and would never more seek laurels, trophies, loving cups, and medals as a dramatist. The one-act play was wTritten especially for assembly presentation and will intoxicate the inebriated Delta Nu Decs with its heterogeneous kicks. Even the faculty wrill laugh, some of them, if thej- are there.
After genius had burned many midnight candles in the writing • of the masterpiece, it was submitted to the campus chapter of National Quill club for literary criticism. There it has received such favorable comment that its author wras elected to membership in that organization.
Dr. Allison Gaw of the English department, after reading the play said it is splendidly written from the standpoint of technic in play building, and that the situations are clever and well-handled.
Moreover, Don Cameron wishes to announce that extra supports for the galleries to uphold the swarms which will storm the auditorium for “Almost Bigamy,” and Herb Wiedoff’s orchestra, playing here Friday. Mr. Cameron expects this to be the biggest and best student rally of the year. This, according to the assembly chairman, is one of the assemblies which no Trojan can afford to miss and once there there will be no danger of being marked absent because of inattention.
University of Southern California has made a preliminary announcement in bulletin form of two Summer Sessions, June 15-August 7 for which eight units will be given, and June 29-Aug. 7 completing six units. The Metropolitan College will give six units for a five weeks course.
Music, Education and Physical Culture Courses are to be featured according to the bulletin. Dr. Henry S. Curtis, director of Hygiene and Physical Education for the state of Missouri has ben secured and others of prominence are Geo. R. Cowgill of Yale LTniversity and Dr. Chas. L. Lo-man of the L03 Angeles Ortheopedic Hospital.
Miss Elizabeth Burchinal, well in the city will have Folk dancing classes. Mr. C. L. Glen. Supt. of Physical Ejlucatilon in Los Angeles will also have classes.
The entire faculty of the Education department will be retained and a number of professors added.
Music will have among others Edith M. Rhetts, Educational Director of the Detroit Symphony Society. She will teach music appreciation and Literature.
Further announcements will be made later as more courses are added.
MATH CLUB
Members of the Mathematics Club will have their picture taken tomorrow noon in front of the old college. All members should be present on time.
Pirates and sprites, orientals and occidentals, and those who will lay claim to no particular name, are to mingle together Friday night to the strains of the Arrowhead Orchestra in a basketball pavilion transformed by futuristic decorations.
The grand march which is to begin at eleven o’clock will display to public view a horde of individuals decked out, by dint of many hurried trips to a certain establishment on Broadway, by name the Western Costume company, in rather unusual and fantastic garb, to say the least. In spite of such drastic mixing of the nations, it is expected that no riot will result, but rather that the goodtimes had at all university affairs in the past will be far surpassed. .
According to those in charge, the only things which are apt to cause excitement from which casualties might result are the clever prizes which are to be awarded to the two cleverest costumes and to the two best dressed individuals. Competition is expected to be keen for these prizes, since they are unusual enough to merit such effort as to culminate in the forgetfulness of the courtesies and conventions of everyday life.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Silke have been invited as honorary guests for the evening and are to be the judges of the best and cleverest costumes at the close of the grand march. It is rumored about the campus that Mr. Silke and his wife have been chosen for this important office because they have never been known to accept bribes, and persons of such irreproachable reputation are needed to fill a position of this kind on this particular evening.
A program of professional and amateur talent, the nature of which is being kept secret, is also promised as an attraction for part of the evening’s entertainment, It promisss to hold *ven the pirates spellt*ound.
EL RODEO NOTICE
All material and pictures for the ¥31 Rodeo must be in by Friday, according to an announcement from the El Rodeo staff yesterday. Organizations failing to comply with this order will be left out of the book. Absolutely no exceptions will be made. •
NOTICE
There will be an important meeting of Beta Gamma Sigma at noon today in Dean Mortons office.
Printer’s Devil Runs Wild--San Pedro(<Pilot” is Printed
McGill University—Statistics recently were taken at Mt. Holyoke to see how college students spend (heir time. It w'as discovered that the ordinary student spends five hours a day on academic work, scheduled appointments and classes. She sleeps eight hours, spends an hour and a half at meals .exercises an hour and twenty minutes, spends forty minutes in cha-pel or other religious services and has the other six hours and a half to do as she likes.
A battleship that nearly blew up, soda-pop and cream puffs, hard-boiled typewriters, and an amiable printer’s devil running in and out and arotuid, gave that professional touch to the recent excursion of twelve members of the Trojan staff to San Pedro, where they worked off their superfluous energy in putting out the San Pedro Pilot.	_ •
San Pedro, with the navy to protect it, withstood nobly the onslaught of the sleuth-hounds who snooped about its main streets in search of scoops. In fact, the kind city even went so far as to aid the enterprising journalists by inventing a few choice news stories for their benefit. Hence the thrilling report that reached the Pilot office wThere the typewriters were perspiring madly over the last few lines of the last few stories in the last few hectic moments before going to press.
The youth at the telephone stiffened as a message reached — perhaps burned—his ear.
“My goodness,” he said. “My goodness, the New Mexico has exploded and three sailors were blown overboard.”
The managing editor turned white —with glee. “Oh, goody, goody,” he exclaimed, for contrary to common re-
Iport, newspaper people do not talk the kind of language that they are supposed to—they write it—well. “Goody, goody,” the managing editor exclaimed, “Now we can make over the front page and thus be able to go to press half an hour late.”
Two of the hardest-looking reporters were dispatched to the scene of the carnage. The office began earnestly to stand upon its head. The printers in the print-shop realizd the-enormity of the happening and threw another log of wrood under the hell-box, or whatever it is in which printers keep the home fires burning. Pop and cream puffs were forgotten. The floor was piled high with paper wasted in a worthy cause.
Then suddenly four or five of the telephones rang at once. With a pure and holy light upon his brow the managing editor rushed to one of them, accompanied by the rest of the staff.
“Get to the typewriters,” he commanded. ‘and we will take down the tragic story as it comes hot over the wire.”
All was still. A reporter held his hands poised over his trusty instrument. Over the wire came a still, small voice, “Launch belonging to New Mexico back-fired,” it said. “Engine said to be recovering from the shock.”
