SOCIAL RESEARCH CLINIC CONDUCTED ON CAMPUS
A new kind of Clinic has been developed at the University of Southern California during the past year. It is known as the Social Research Clinic and is conducted in the Sociology Research Laboratory on Friday afternoons whenever the demand arises. It is operated under the auspices of the Social Research Society, of which E. Bogardus and E. F. Bamford are president and secretary. At the Clinic on Friday a research project in the study of public opinion was presented by l>r. Case for a friend of his. The methods used and the results obtained were th^p appraised. In this instance it was found that the ‘ opinions” being
manager, says that with four competent debaters qualified and with a subject chosen especially for its interest to the students, the debate is certain to prove interesting.
Expert judges have been secured and both the winning team and the best individual debater will be selected. The best debater of the four will have his name engraved on the beautiful cup which was offered for the event by Mr. Neal Ames three years ago.
examined were composed partly of guesses about facts, partly of reflections of what other people had thought, partly of the given individuals’ own opinions and attitudes, and partly of what the given individuals' thought would sound well. This Social Research Clinic is one of the first of its kind in the United States.
Dates Going Speedily for Junior-Senior Dance Feast
frue Southern California spirit.
This year the El Rodeo is featuring a great and intensive athletic section. It has been edited under the direction of Fred Jenkins, assistant sport editor of the Trojan. Another special feature will be the beauty section which will contain the camera studies of eight of the most beautiful girls on the campus.
All colleges and schools in the university will have sections in the annual and they will be found alltogether and not scattered throughout the book as it was last year.
The fraternities, sororities and the departments and seniors sections will follow the same plan. A novel feature this year will be the alley rat section which will contain all the scandal on the campus.
Barton Hutchins, editor of the El Rodoeo. takes this opportunity to thank all the staff for the splendid cooperation that he received from them during this year.
“The cross ot Christ as an emblem of success.” was the title of the address given before the Tuesday morning assembly by Dr. Lutz of the First Methodist Church of Cleveland. Ohio.
Dr. Lutz has been visiting in Pasadena the past few weeks.
“Young people of this age are facing world with overwhelming awe at its responsibilities, and a desire for highest success,” according to the speaker. ‘ For humanity is fundamentally intellectual and spiritual. In this life,” Dr. Lutz stressed, “that physical power and endurance are not primary.”
In considering success, Dr. Lutz quoted from Dr. Watt, “the mind’s the measure of the man.”
“The cross of Christ is the center of the universe and there are elements that indicate that it appeals to the best in us. It is an instrument that points to the highest elements of success, which are definiteness, determination, sincerity, honesty, purpose and unselfish devotion. A purpose of mind and heart will gather all the elements of achievements in life,” Dr. Lutz stated.
His closing remarks were:- “Belief and obedience are essential. To seek, find, and obey the laws of God will bring success, coming from the intellect, the depth of the human purpose.”
A splendid musical program was rendered at the beginning of the hour. Professor Sannders of the College of Music played "Romance,” by Wilhelm, an original piece; “Dance Melody” and “Renoto Facile.” by Price. Miss Culler, also of the Music College, accompanied Professor Sannders.
A group of songs were sung by Miss Ramselle. who was accompanied by Mrs. Hineman. Spanish, Italian and English songs were included in the program.
Professor Bruce Baxter read from Matthew XX.

"Just think, Marie! and with that tion? Everywhere I go I hear every-wonderful tall blonde Bachelor. You one talking aboiy the Junior-Senior know, the one that always smiles so banquet. ‘Isn’t it going to be marvel-
adorably. Yes, he wears those dirty cords, too. I simply can’t wait until Friday comes to step to that Junior-Senior banquet at the Oakmont Country Club with him. They say—” “Say! Don’t monopolize the conversation. Remember. I'm an Amazon," said the girl with the black sweater, “and Amazons should be heard before Freshmen. You are sure a lucky Freshman, though, to get to attend the Junior-Senior banquet. Most girls would be thrilled at the chance to attend without the added attraction of a Bachelor. This is going to be one of the snappiest affairs of the year. 1 was talking to Marjorie Rice
and she said the programs were--
---with---. (The dashes indicate whispering). Aren’t they going to be darling?”
‘■Speaking of things being darling.” said the Freshman, “just wait until you see the Bachelor with whom I am going. Hes wonderful—tall and blond, and he has the—”
A third co-ed joined the two. "Speaking of the Junior-Senior banquet?" she said with the upstage of a second semester Sophomore. “Why don't you pick an original topic for conversa-
ous! Such a classy crowrd going! Great bargain, financially speaking. Delightfully informal. Keen music!' is what they say. That’s all you hear every place you go. I'm sick and tired of hearing so much about this Senior banquet.”
The air had suddenly become chilly. The Freshman looked visibly frozen. The Sophomore was a well known college woman. Then the hard, thin voice of the Amazon cut the air like a knife. . "You are a Sophomore I believe,” she said. “You should remember that it is indiscreet to criticise University traditions in the presence of an Amazon. The Junior-Senior banquet has been a tradition of the University of Southern California for many years, and we always look forward to it with a feeling of joy. But in censoring this particular Junior-Senior banquet you are not only un-loyal to the traditions of this University but you are exposing your ignorance as well.”
The Sophomore glanced down uneasily at the hem of her skirt. A well known college woman need not necessarily have a large vocabulary.

Promising to rival the recent student body elections in interest and unmber of candidates, the class elections at Southern California are due to hi held on Friday of this weak at the respective class meetings, according to present officers of the classes.
It is exepected that a heavy ballot will be cast on Friday for the aspirants to the class offices, according to class politicians. They state that the various political machines on the campus have been thoroughly tired out as a result of last week’s battle, and that they will function promicenUy in Friday’s voting.
This year’s Junior class held f.heir nominations recently, and ended up by placing Ronald Stever and Ellsworth Ross on the ballot for presidency. It is said that both men are hot on the trail for votes and are considered to be on equal footing as far as ability is concerned.
The Seniors of next year nominated Kay Potter and Clare Kaufer for the position of vice-president. Adele Her-tel and Dorothy Davis are in the race for the secretary place for this class. Momen Baber was the only one nominated for treasurer and as a result seems to be a cinch for this place.

All of these men, it is reported, will stage a battle-royal for votes, as they are well-known in their various activities. They all have good records at Southern California, and the result of the race should be close.
Next semester’s Juniors nominated Pauline Klene, Elone Truitt and Rosalind Williamson for vice-president. Dixie Wheatley had no trouble at the nominations in being the only one nominated for secretary. Willard Brown, Jack Turnbull, Dick Olsen, and Ed Bernard promise to stage the other battle among the Juniors in the dasn for the secretary’s chair.
This year’s Frosh have developed into quite a political body, according to their acitivity both in their own class and their part in the general campus elections. They have put up Henry Rohr, Arthur Kerwin. and George Lewis for the presidency.
These three Frosh have worked hard this year in an endeavor to get a start in the political whirl her'e, and bid fair to stage a good race for next year’s Sophomore president.

Free Dental Attention
Given Children of Poor
Preventive Dentistry for the children of charitable institutions in Los Angeles is now assured. There has been a growing need for dental services to the hundreds of little tots who are unfortunate, and this need is being met to a large extent through the efforts of I>r. L. E. Ford, dean of the Dental College, and Dr. J. P. Buckley, former president of the American Dental Association.
Dr. Buckley has taken the task of supervising and instructing the senior student operators who perform their externship duties at the various orphanages and civic centers. Dean Ford has outlined the scope of the work and established clinics in the districts where access is easy for the children requiring services. In other cities there has been established large medical centers where children are brought for dental and medical attention, but it is the plan of Dr. Ford to bring the operators to the institutions or clinics in the area where the children live so as to conserve time and expense of parents or guardians in going long distances. This is particularly an advantage in Ixjs Angeles with its extensive city limits, and crowded metropolitan district.
Dental service at charitable institutions has previously been carried on!
- , «*
by volunteer dentists, but this has proven quite unsatisfactory as it frequently was difficult for men to leave their practice at the time they were to be at the clinic. This situation is now met by having selected senior students go to the clinics as part of their college requirements for which they receive credit. Students are keen to accept the opportunity and gladly pay for their transportation and such materials as are needed, thus making the cost of this service very nominal for the institutions.
The students go in pairs, one to act as the assistant for his companion, and thus they are enabled to handle a number of children in a short time. The work is similar to the internship required of medical students in hospitals, but is less arduous as only a short time every week is given. Furthermore. the students are given an insight into the great public need for some dental service, as it is reported ^that a large number of the poorer classes are without any form of dental attention. At many of the homes the children rush to greet the student operators with open arms, and regard them as true benefactors, for they bring considerable relief to suffering youngsters who have worn out their (CONTINUED ON PAG*E FOUR)
