JOURNAL APPEARS ON S. C. CAMPUS
Three Articles On International Situations Appear In New Sociology Magazine
With three of the main articles in the new March-April issue of the Journal of Applied Sociology dealing with international situations and with a new section of ‘‘International Notes, this magazine takes on a wider and more interesting appeal than previously. “I still contend that although banditry is increasing in China.” says Professor Sarvis of Nanking University in his article on social conditions in China, “that one’s chances of violent death in China are far less than in America.”
Superstitutions of all sorts and their working are vividly portrayed in the article on “The Evil Eye and Other Superstitutions in Turkey,” by Clarence R. Johnson. Then, if one wishes he may make an interesting sojourn in Vienna in the post-war days under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Wysor, a Los Angeles woman, known to many students of the U. S. C., and executive secretary of the Travellers Aid Society of the City. She was the founder of the first Social Service Exchange in Vienna, and writes upon that subject.
E.	C. Lindeman makes an important distinction’between interest and self-interest, in an article by that title. The evolution of “The Business Center” from a village store to the town nucleus of stores, to the city business, big and concentrated, to its newer metropolitan developments with chain stores running up into the hundreds for a given business—this is the story told hv Dr. E. H. Shideler of Franklin College. Profesor E. F. Young urges the application of social research methods in welfare work, as being mutually beneficial, while Dr. Bogardus reports upon experiments in ' Measuring Social Distances.” Dr. E. T. Kreu-ger of Vanderbilt University analyzes a new method of social research which he calls securing life histories. To the thoughtful reader this issue of the Journal is unusually replete with the qew and original materials.

That there are some men who should never join a fraternity was the expressed belief of the dean, who is a member of Phi Delta Theta and Phi Beta Kappa fraternities at Ohio Wes-sleyn college. He said that individuality need not be absorbed in the group, as it often is. Certain men do not fit certain fraternities and would be out of place in them, and thus the great problem facing a freshman is choice or rejection of a group.

As fraternity man to man Dean Waugh suggested the following criterion::
Be broad minded and tolerant. Believe in the fine things of life and hold high ideals.
Actions count, words are cheap. Never mix business w'ith friendship. “There are too few national fraternities,” said the dean, reiterating the the opinion of the National Inter-fraternity : Council and that of George Banta.

“Silver Box" Is Well Adapted For College Dramatics, Says Ross
John Galsworthy's play “The Silver Box," is particularly well adapted ti> college dramatics according to the production manager, Ellsworth Ross. The plot contains elements of interest to every type of student. Comedy, mystery, drama, and near-melodrama go to make up the delightful humanness of the piay.
“Justice, justice!” ery the poor, and lhe rich write out checks. The just goddess is blind. The poor go to jail, —and the checks are cashed. Few realize the injustice of the criminal courts as it is emphasized in Galsworthy’s “The Silver Box.” The n-action of the characters to the situations in which they find themselves is. real and powerful.
March 26, Thursday, is the date of presentation. Tickets will be on sale at an early date. Reservations in blocks will be held for the fraternities as has been the method in recent productions, but the larger part of th*? auditorium will be opened to general sale.
The cast and director of the “Silver Box,” are making every attempt to put the Lance and Lute play on the professional basis which has characterized their past productions. According to a frequent visitor at the rehearsals the talent involved in the various portrayals leave doubt of the achievement of this purpose.
Miss Florence Hubbard says of the dramatic society’s choice, “The Silver Box,” is not a deep, heavy drama, but a good everyday, true to life comedy filled with mystery and intrigue.” on time at the scene of their day’s

DR. WM. S. BOVARD CHAPEL SPEAKER
Spoke With Authority On the Church, College and Student Of Today
Dr. William S. Bovard, brother of President Emeritus George Finley Bovard addressed the lower classes in chapel vqfgterday. Dr. Bovard arrived ir I.os Angeles from his home in Chicago Saturday for a visit.
Dr. Bovard opened his address with a reference to the “synthetic spirits’’ of the day and then proceeded to give the students the customary uplifting speech on the debt the student of today owned to the world of tomorrow. Dr. Rovard said, in effect, that if the youth of today realized that the world tomorrow would be dependent upon their shoulders they would be less inclined to waste their time and would strive to become less irresponsible.
Dr. Bovard is General-Secretary of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church. By virtue of this position he speaks with a great deal of knowledge of the connection between Church. College, and the Student Youth of today.
Who Will Alarm the Alarm Clock If the Alarm Alarms?
The man who said profs get up at four o’clock in the morning to think up ways of torturing their classes is all wrong.
Some people may have read that the Trojan staff has been making field trips to put out some of the less particular papers in the landscape surrounding Los Angelee. Well, on these occasions, those who wish to be among those present must, unless they prefer to take their tooth-brush and a package of Grape Nuts along and sleep with the typewriters, shake the dews of sleep from their eyes at an early hour in the morning and set forth upon the trail.
Now. no matter how rising a young journalist may be, getting up in the morning is one of the best things he does not do. And, sad to relate, the journalism instructors set their charges a bad example by the use of artificial stimulants. That is how it happened that one of the former was called onto the carpet by one of the latter not so very long ago.
“William Randolph Hearst,” said the Professor (of course you understand that his name was not really William Randolph Hearst), “We are going to Watts (or possibly San Diego) in the morning.”
“Yessir,” replied James Gordon Bennett.
“We are going,” continued the professor, “early in the morning.”
“Yessir.”
“How, Joseph Pulitzer, ro you pian on getting up on time?”
“Well, sir, I have an alarm clock.’' “Well, Mr. Munsey, I am going to do you the favor of borrowing that alarm clock for the evening,” said the professor in a dignified manner.
“Yessir, replied Harry Carr.
(How' long is this sort of thing going to last in a free country?)
The professor, it is said, got to Watts (or possibly San Diego) on time. The youth joined the before-mentioned brigade of tooth brush to-ters. But the worst was even worse On the following day when Charles Dana Gibson was late to class, the professor addressed him from the chair.
“In the full sight of the entire class” he said, “I wish to thank Colonel Wat-terson for the timely assistance hp was able to give me at a crucial moment in the nation’s—that is, in the nick of time an unnamed man has come to the rescue of the party. At any rate, conditions point to a return of the support which was so generously given; in other words, we must stand by each other.”
With these words he handed something to Arthur Brisbane. A long, low and esquisitely moderated peal announced its identity. It was Arthur’s alarm clock.
Arthur has never been the samp since.
