The preliminaries at U. S. C. will take place on Monday at 4:15 in H. 206. Those who survive the elimination will give their addresses again on Wednesday when the winner of Alpha Phi Epsilon prize of $20 and the person to represent U. S. C. in the contest at the Branch will be selected.
Mr. Brennan, in describing the contest, emphasized the unusual opportunity offered for individual thought and expression, as the rules of the tournament allow each contestant to chose the subject upon w’hich he is to speak. He requested all those who have not already done so to give their names to himself. Bernard Brennan, or Sam Gates as soon as possible. Orations should not exceed two thousand 'words in length.
The winner of the final contest at the Branch will not only have his name engraved- on the Southern California Oratorical Contest cup. but will also be presented with a gold medal.
ON APPROVED LIST
The University of Chattanooga has been placed on the list of colleges and universities approved by the Association of American Universities. It is the third Methodist institution to be so honored within the past few months. The other two are Simpson College and Illinois Wesleyan University.
PURPOSE OF DRIVE
The original drive was held with the purpose of doing away with the innumerable tag days and benefit* that have been the custom on the Southern California campus for the past, five years. In an effort to abolish this bothersome practice, the Executive Committee decided to pool all the money necessary for the support of all campus activities, and raise this sum in one single campaign, thus doing away with all necessity for such tag days, benefits, and miscellaneous drives.
A thorough investigation revealed that the annual budget of the various organizations totaled some five thousand dollars, and a spirited campaign was held to raise this amount at that time, but, the different teams were able to raise only $3750, in pledges. The present situation is made all the more critical by the fact that of this amount pledged, only two thousand dollars have actually been paid in, and as a result, there is not enough money to continue the existence of these campus organizations.
SUPPORT IS URGED
“The previous drive is the one thing that Southern California students have failed to thoroughly support said a member of the committee in charge of collection.” Now is the time to show the collegiate world that Trojans have a practical school spirit, and the way in which to dem

<(Introduce Me” Is Latest Organization For Trojans
“I’m George Columbus. I’d like to have you meet me. And you are—?” This is only a sample of the newest line to be popularized on the U. S. C. campus. It’s made possible by the “Introduce Me Club.’” the latest organization.
“I don’t know what the club means —and I don”t care” exclaimed one enthusiastic club member. "But it sure helps to break the ice. Now I’ve got a chance to talk to a lot of the girls I’ve tried to get acquainted with all semester. I only wish more co-eds wore buttoms.”
Membership in the “Introduce Me Club’ ’is not restricted to the campus as the organization is for the whole city of Los Angeles. The chief requirements for membership are a sweet disposition, which includes a broad grin, and ability to make the best use of a strong right hand for the extensive heandshaking which is a criterion of membership.
The club bottons are much in evidence on the campus which shows that the Trojans are taking interest in this
sity.
The purpose of the convention was to devise methods 'whereby the work of the secretaries could be made as uniform as possible, especially in the placing of teachers.

And then the "Introduce Me” Club has another purree, which is to advertise “Introduce Me,’ ’now playing at the Criterion in which DouglasMcI^ean and Anne Cornwall, president of the “Introduce Me Club” are starring. Friday night is to be U. S. C. night at the Criterion and several features have been planned whica will be especially entertaining to the Trojans.
"But don’t think that the clut> is just to advertise the picture’” said the manager “for we want the ‘‘Introduce Me” spirit to really exist on the U. S. C. campus.”
“The periods of working and school Adna Leonard is a sophomore at Lib-, attendance are shorter than at the eral Arts and has taken part in seven debates, five this season and two in
1924. He won a Bowen cup last year and was also the winner of the Ames cup. W hile attending the Pennington School of New Jersey he took second place in the New Jersey Oratorical Contest.
Manuel Ruiz has competed for U. S. C. in three debates and last year was a winner of a Bowen cup. He was the I niversity of Southern California’s representative this year in the South ern California Extemporaneous Oratorical Contest. This is his second year on the squad.

Metropolitan College At Cincinnatti, where the system of coordination was first adopted, the students work for only one month and then go to school for a month. However, their methods and proceedure are as a whole essentially similar to those used here.”
Twenty-five universities and colleges were represented at the convention: the organization is comparatively new, this having been the second annual meeting. A convention of the deans of women was held at the same time in Cincinnati, according to Miss Weir.
In her position of appointment secretary, Miss Weir, has charge of locating positions for students who work their way through school; she also takes charge of the placing of teachers, and arranges for positions for students at the Metropolitan College and at the College of Dentistry.
