■Goins to the Sophomore Hop Fri-qi night, Johnny?”
‘Sure, got your ticket yet?”
‘No, where do you get them?"
“Oh, they’re selling them at the win-w in the Arcade and at the Students ore. But you'd better hurry if you nt to get one.”
Tudging from the multitude which ve been gathering about the various itions where tickets for the big phomore Dance scheduled for Fri-y, March 20, are being given away the paltry sum of one dollar and ty cents, the basketball pavilion will t be quite as sparsely populated as e Sahara Desert on this eventful ening.
‘Decorations for the affair will be t merely a surprise .but very sur-ising,” said Bill Stewart, sophomore iass president. He states, however, lat even a vivid imagination could ot do justice to the decorative ;heme which has been devised by ie committee. It must be seen to be -uly appreciated.
The famous Hollywoodland Orch-stra having been engaged for the urpose of giving every student a brill, has promised to present for ap-~oval such harmony as has never een heard before in the social annals f the university.
■“The fact that a good looking trophy to be presented to the couple wining the dancing contest and the fact at an extraordinary brand of punch 'hich though not dangerous ,is guar-nteed by those in charge to be worth isting, are enough attraction in them-elves to bring the student body to he function en masse,” said Beth iJaker, vice president of the class.
Dean and Mrs. Karl T. Waugh are x) be patron and patroness for the lance.

ampus Bachelors to Eat at Den Tomorrow
•Wampus Bachelors will have a luncheon at the Cozy Den, Friday at twelve o’clock according to Carleton Morehouse, president. The Bachelors who went to Lake Arrowhead Saturday wish to tell the others what they missed. Plans will also be made for other Bachelor functions this semester.

Then we read on the back page of a certain weekly from the middlewest that “The average life of a dollar bill is six months.”
300 TICKETS SOLD FOR “SILVER BOX”
To avert disappointment in buying tickets for ‘‘The Silver Box,” which National Collegiate Players will produce on March 26, Aose wishing to attend should buy their tickets early, according to Selvyn Levinson who is handling publcity for the production.
After the fraternity blocks are subtracted only a limited number of seats remain fo rgeneral' sale. Mr. Levinson stated that approximately three hundred are now obtainable but. many good seats are still left for those who do not wait.
It past productions there have been numerous disappointments due to laxity on the part of students in making their reservations. Mr. Levinson hopes that this will be avoided this time.
“The Silver Box” is the last dramatic presentation to be given this year by the associated students. For that reason the management expects a “sellout.” The play is presented under the auspices of the honorary dramatic fraternity of the campus. National Collegiate Players.
Ellsworth Ross, production manager states that no expense is to be spared in making the production a finished one .in order that it may maintain the highest standard of dramatics on the campus.
Seats are obtainable now at the Associated Students Store, for fifty and seventy-five cents. They are all reserved.
FRAT STEWARDS PLAN
Organization Details Discussed At Meeting At Zeke House
MEN TONIGHT
NOW ON HAND
Tallman, Syvertson To Oppose High Class Entertainment Fea-Japanese Immigration	tures Will Interest Guests Measure	At Biltmore
House managers of the campus fraternities held a meeting last Tuesday night in the Zeta Kappa Epsilon house at which plans were made for organizing a house managers* association. Burdette Ives .w’ho is taking the lead in this new movement on the Southern California campus, stated that it will be possible by using this system to reduce house expenses from ten to twenty-five percent. At present, these plans include table supplies only, but at some time in the future it is hoped that the same system may be applied to the purchase of furniture and other bouse necessities.
The system, as outlined for local use, includes the association of all the house managers into a single organization. This organization will do all the buying, and will deal directly with the wholsesale houses. It is planned to order regularly every two weeks, and to have deliveries at corresponding intervals. The various house managers will turn in their individual orders to the organization .which will do the actual buying, and then distribute the goods to the houses as ordered.
This proposed plan is based on an extensise and careful study of similar systems now* in use on the campuses of other large universities throughout the country. These include the organizations at Washington, California, Arizona, Minnesota and others ,but the plan most under consideration is the Warner System, now being used by Minnesota. Under this system, the office of house manager is done awray with, and stewards at the various houses are appointed in their place. The secretary of the organization takes over the books of all the different fraternities, and acts in the capacity of purchasing agent for the group, getting the individual or “departmental” orders from the various stewards, and materially cutting expenses of the fraternities by ordering in wholesale lots.
In the most important forensic contest of the 1925 season since U. S. C. met Oxford, the Trojan debate varsity will meet a two man team from the University of New Mexico tonight at eight o’clock in the Touchstone Theater.
The question of controversy will be on the Japanese immigration dispute, and tonight will be the last debate of the year on this subject. It is the same question which was argued over in last night's hectic affair with the Mormons from Brigham Young University, Utah.
Leland Tallman and Arthur Syvertson. who will do their best to repel the onslaught af the word slingers Irom Albequerqtte institution, will attempt to impress the judges to the effect that Japanese should be admitted into this country on the same basis as the quota allowed immigrants from European nations, instead on their being excluded entirely, as is the case at the present time.
The Trojan vocabularly artists are determined to put an end to the winning streak of the New Mexico university, which is represented this year by an exceptionally strong team. This is an art at which the debate squads of Troy are particularly adept, as several institutions which were on the U. S. C. schedule last year will testify.
Next Tuesday in a debate which is considered as one of the vital contests of the year's schedule, William Barber and Ned Lewis, regarded as Southern California’s strongest forensic combination will meet a team from Williamette University .Oregon. The Williamette debaters are making a tour of the western states which is one of the most extensive ever attempted by any Northwestern university. Their wrhole team has had several year’s experience in debating and i3 regarded by experts as one of the country’s strongest combinations.
Just fifty tickets remain unsold for the .Junior Prom that is to be held at the Biltmore Friday, March 27, and the committee announces that the pro-grom under the supervision of Selvyn Levinson promises to be of a type never before seen at a function at this University.
Mr. Levinson who is in charge of the plans for the orchestra and entertainment for ihe Prom has been working unceasingly to provide an entertainment that he says will rival the entertainment put on at the famous Ivy Day Ball of the University of Pennsylvania.
While a definite arrangement has not been made yet with any of the prospects, some of them sound particularly interesting to the members of the committee ,and either of two in particular sound most agreeable. The two over which the committee are so enthusiastic are first the Park sisters, i wo girls who really are sisters and who have acquired fame on the Orpheum circuit and who would present a pleasing variety of dances and songs particularly suited to a university formal.
MAY HAVE DANCER
The other proposition which is under discussion is to have none other than the Tsaroso Modesk himself dance. Tsaroso Modesk is the marvelous futuristic dancer that two years ago startled Europe from its complacent cosmopolitanism, and has accordingly gained the reputation of being one of the most famous dancers in the world. Tsaroso Modesk is now on tour and it is extremely difficult to get in touch with him much less make any definite contract.
The entertainment considered hai> been recommended by Cecil B. DeMille who obtained the same combination to entertain the Artists’ Ball at the Ambassador one year ago. Because of the wide acquaintance of Mr. Levinson

CAMPUS SCANDALS TO BE TOLD IN DIRTY YELLOW DOG FRIDAY
Sigma Sigma Pledges, Who Are Responsible For the Annual Razz Sheet, Have Overlooked Nothing of Campus Gossip
• Said to be far in excess of anything of its kind ever attempted on the Southern California campus, the annual Yellow Dog will make its appearance tomorrow', filled and running over with choice bits of scandal about every fraternity, sorority, and campus highlight in U. S. C. The Sigma Sigma pledges, who are responsible for the Yellow Dog, have been working for several weeks to make the 1925 issue the success which it warrants, and, say those in charge .nothing has been overlooked in the way of scandalized truth.
Just what luminary will be hit the hardest tomorrow in the Golden Puppy is not known, except to the Sig Sig pledges, but no one who has even the least touch of scandal about his or her college life will be slighted. The pledges, realizing the dire results of not putting out a worthy Yellow Dog. have Professor Smith, includes an address bent every effort to carry out in a at 10:15 by Dr. R. H.

SCIENTISTS TO MEET
Faculty Members and Students To Attend Sessions At Troy
Faculty members, pre-medical students, and prospective science and mathmetics teachers are cordially invited to attend the general meeting of the Southern California Science and Mathematics Associatoin to be held Saturday morning .March 21, at the University of Southern California. Dr. I^eroy S. Weatherby and Professor J. Frank Smith of the Chemistry department will welcome the guests, and act as hosts of the occasion.-The program which was planned by
EXAMINATION VOTE DISCUSSED AT S. C.
Tt
Won’t Work,” Say • “A Good Step/' Say Others
Some;
“It won’t work,” say the students, but it is the opinion of the professors of the university that “It ought to help," in reference to the proposed examination system new under fire of criticism.
That the system of signing names to a statement saying help has neither been given or received during the examination was tried in one class yesterday is reported. That cribbing was prevalent in the room, and that every student signed his name to the slip, at the termination of class, was the statement of a member of the class, himself admitting, in a blase manner, that he was one of the cribbing majority.
“I do not believe that the system is wholly adequate,” said Dr. R. T. Flewelling of the deaprtment of philosophy in an interview today. “I believe, however, that it will help in some cases, provided there is student co-operation. Beinp in favor of a carefully worked out honor system, I do believe the proposed system is inadequate, but still it is a step in that direction.”
Believing that the majority of students are honest, and would prefer to take examinations under conditions that would render cribbing impossible, it is the opinion of Dr. L. M. Riddle of the language department that the plan w'ould be worth adopting, at least for the present.
“Large classes are responsible for the cribbing evil in tbe beginning. If
BUSINESS MAN SPEAKS TO STUDENTS IN CHAPEL
“Music is not in a world of its own; it is a part of this world of business, education, and work, not distinct from it,” said Charles L. Estey, prominent advertising and business man of Los Angeles, in his chapel address on “Music and the Man,” yesterday morning.
“Everyone has an influence in the world; you leave your mark on all those with whom you come into contact, just as they influence you.” Beethoven. Mendelssohn, Chopin, and Handel were cited as musicians who have left their mark upon the wrorld. All of these men had to fight their way through life, but they triumphed over all obstacles, and fulfilled their mission in life.
“Education is the training of the mind and the will to do the work you ought to do, at the time you ought to] do it, whether you want to or not.” This quotation from Professor Huxley is the best definlUon of the purpose of education because it emphasizes the importance of the successful accomplishment of little things—things that may seem disagreeable. The real heroes of life are those who are quietly effective in everyday living,” said Mr. Estey in conclusion.
Dean Walter Skeele opened the chapel program with one of his organ solos, playing Paderewski’s “Minuet”
A thoroughbred Eskimo dog team was a feature of t!he Winter carnival at Dartmough college. During the day the dog team took carnival guests for sleigh rides.

initiation, the result being a publication which no one can afford to pass up.
Not only are individuals and social organizations among the students brought to light in tomorrow’s paper, but faculty members and administration heads as well will be given a prominent place in the yellow columns. The truth about exams, final and other wise, as seen by faculty members, is expected to hold a great deal of attention of the thousands of Yellow Dog readers.
In addition to the large amount of scandalized stories, there are said to be a number of cuts of prominent Southern California students, snapped by the Dog’s photographer during the past several weeks. Several poses, regarded at times as indiscreet, were clicked off by the official picture gatherer, and these will be published tomorrow, together with a full explanation of the details surrounding said pictures.
The Yellow Dog will go on sale as early as seven-thirty, and the Sigma Sigma pladges will spend the entire day peddling the scandal sheets.
