Institute of International Education Sponsors Oxford Tour To American Continent
The men who have been chosen to reprwM-ni Oxford College in the debate on the subject of prohibition are not only college students .but are men who are known both in politics and liter; ture for their unusual ability along those lines.
One of the debaters, J. I). Woodruff, is a native of Kent, and was educated under the Benedictine monks at Down-igde in Bath. He served under the Foreign Office and Admirality in Holland in the latter part of the war. won an exhibition at New College, the (jothian prize in 1921 .and a first class in the final history school in 1923. He is an active supporter of Mr. Asquith. His father’s mother's family, the Win-Throps. were prominent among the settlers in New England in the seventeenth century. Mr. Woodruff is expresident of the Oxford University Liberal Club.
Malcolm MacDonald was born in Lossiemouth. Scotland (his father’s native place) in August, 1901 ,and was educated at Bedales School in Hampshire, a co-educational school. He got a scholarship in history to Oxford, where at Queen’s College he studied history and economics. In 1923 he contested the Rassetlaw division of Nottinghamshire in the general election as Labor candidate; and was beaten by 30<)0 votes. He is still prospective I^abor candidate for the same constituency.
M. C. Hollis was born at Asebridge, Somerset, Eng., on March 29, 1902. He was educated at Eton and I&lliol College. Oxford .entering the latter in 1920. He was president of the union in 1923. He has written for one or two English papers and has contributed to the Outlook.
The Institute of International Education has sponsored this extensive trip of the Oxford debaters and other international trips .notably a tour of the team from Cambridge University, England, which is debating eastern colleges.
Since the visit of the Bates College debating team to Oxford in 1922, international debating has taken its place as a major sport rivaling inter collegiate athletic contests in interest.
The debate will be conducted according to the English style, in which the debaters do not try to make a complete case or to capture three judges, but speak directly. from own convictions in a genuine attempt to change the beliefs of the audience. A record of the opinion of the audience on the merits of the qquestion will be the only decision made.

Noted Speaker Gives Three Touchstones of Character To Be Used By Students As Guides To Morality
Declaring that. “One outstanding need everywhere is for educated men and women of high ideals. Are cur colleges turning out such men and women?" Sherwood Eddy sounded the note of his talk yesterday before upper-classmen.
He followed up with 'he statement
that, “If education is not the hope of the country what is? "The wish was exxpressed that tests of character in dicating the quality of the men and women should be given students .instead of examinations requiring cram-I ming. ‘ Moral, not mental tests are needed.”
Xhree touchstones of character i^Pere listed, which he said should be | answered by students and should be used by them as guides in the develop-] ment of strong moral qualities. They

BERNARD BRENNAN-CHOSEN EDITOR
A singular honor of more than or dinary importance has been bestowed on Bernard Brennan, student at Law, j and debator to represent Southern California against Oxford January 15, by the Alpha iPlii Epsilon national honorary literary fraternity. Bernard has been chosen editer-in-chief of tbe Garnet and Green, official publication of the organization. Incidentally, Bernard is the only student officer in any national fraternity in southern California.
The Sigma chapter of Alpha Phi Ep-silen was organized here in 1921, and is composed of debators and those who have distinguished themselves in a literary way. Members are considered from the standpoints of character, scholarship, ability to write and deliver speeches, and general standing. Honorary members of Sigma include Dr. and Mrs. Von KleinSmid, Professor Anthony Blanks, and Dr. and Mrs. Allison Gaw.
BRENNAN IS PRAISED
In a recent issue of the Garnet and Green, Charles It .Green, national president, wrote the following editorial on Bernand's appointment to the editorship:
At last the Garnet and Green has been furnished with an assurance that it will be a real success. ^ ou all can hardly realize the difficulty in finding that assurance, but now that it has been found we need have no fear for the future. /This comes to us after several years of diligent search for a man capable of actually handling the difficult position of Editor of the Garnet and Green. The man we were looking for was one who was courageous and possessed of a never-say-die spirit, willing to work, and keep unfailingly at work. The result of ihis
on dishorn siy," he declared,” and one who will cheat in college today, will cheat the government and his business tomorrow.” Included in honesty he listed, contempt for cheating .clean speech, and regard for law, pointing out that disregard of these points has led to the removal of the honor system in many colleges and to the ridicule in which the United States is held by Europe in ihe enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. Habits of dishonesty in college ,he said .were traceable as the source of dishonesty later developed by certain men of National prominence involv.nl in great graft scandals.
That sound moral teaching can be effective in wiping out -cheating, he gave as an example the case of a high school that in one year reduced the percentage of cheating from G4 per cent to one student. "Man i*» what he is in the dark .when he can get away with it," he stated.
Man ,he said, was created pure, and although able to sink to the lowest level, can also rise to the highest sublimation .which in turn brings him the more enduring satisfaction, with a more beautiful love, marriage, home, and the things that ak^ for better living.
Pointing to the student-body .he asked, “Are yon in the game in this life, or on the sidelines cursing it ? Have you a great dominant purpose in life?” He concluded his address with a prayer asking that we learn to live .to gain a moral mastery of ourselves, and to love our fellow men.

With the enthusiastic replies of many members of tbe Southern California Editorial Association to the invitations for the third annual newspaper day at U. S. C., came the acceptance of James It. Gabbert. owner and publisher of the “Riverside Enterprise" to be the special luncheon guest ot the day.
“Replies were received Horn many editors and publishers of the Souih-land.'' said Professor Marc. N. Goodnow, in speaking of the prospects for all expressed great enthusiasm over the idea and a desire to attend the sessions.
“The program has been planned to aid both high school and college journalists to attain a better understanding of the technical and practical side of newspaper work,’’ continued Professor Goodnow. ‘'One feature will be the attempt by the editor oi a well known author of a Southern California weekly to interest students in the rural weekly rather than the urban diary.
“While the program has not been announced yet it has been filled with speakers who are regarded as experts in the particular field of which they speak."
Arrangements have been made to take care of and entertain one hundred fifty guests from surrounding high schools. The plans to grant them the unlimited hospitality of the campus was the topic of discussion at a recent meeting of the Trojan staff. At that time it was stated that Press Club would be in charge of the arrangements for the day.

Okey King Forgets Bachelor Vow Taken Last Semester
Okey King, founder of the Bachelor's Club on the campus a year ago and prominent in journalistic circles of U. S. C. throughout his four years as an undergraduate student, has timidly announced his engagement. He has graduated however, and so is saved the necessity of staging a dinner for the members of the Bachelor’s Club.
Down in San Pedro where Okey is a correspondent for the Los Angeles Examiner, he quietly confided to a former classmate that the engagement had come. The classmate was asked to take means to “spill the dope” carefully at the Zeke house so that Okey would be spared all the embarrassment possible.
Miss Helen Beth Frerking, a junior in the Southern .Branch, is the other party to the engagement. She is a member of Omega Tau Nu sorority and a graduate of Orange High School. In both high school and college she has achieved scholastic honors.
While on the campus Oscar Henry King made a notable record for his activities in university affairs. He was editor of the Wampus in the

Tom Wamp Expects To Join Campus Neckers On Jan. 27
Tommy Wamp feels that he too must keep up with the times as he’s a fast moving feline and so will make his next appearance in keeping with the popular campus pastime, as a Necker. As his neck has stretched considerably it is expected that it will be adorned with necklace .collar, choker beads and a necktie.
Wampus is delaying his entrance until January 27 when he will appear in time to relieve the despondent atmosphere of the examination period. Although he is pretty well fed, his trainer declared that more nourishment would be relished.
“The aim of the staff is to give our readers something better and finer" declared Grady Setzler .editor, in regard
to this so called “low brow'’ number. Among the features of the Neck's number will be the History of Necking in Southern California and spicy drawings by the staff neckerchiefs said to be on special asbestos paper. It is also rumored that the editors may leave town soon—on account of bad
