Meyers Jewelry Company and will be here Thursday morning, when they will be passed out. probably at a dinner.

The pin will be used for at least five years, being given to every student w who has done diligent work on the paper for two years.
This year's award will be in the form of a key of gold. On a background of black will be a gold figure, representing the head of a Trojan warrior. Below this will be the gold letters “U. S. C.’ On the back of the key will be engraved the name of the Trojan worker together with the
position he or she held and the year •1923-24.”
Each year other material can be engraved on the back of the key.
I>ast year, pins were awarded but they were not recognized by the University. The aw-ards this year will Iso be of better quality than those of lest year.
Eleven men and seven women will receive the awards. Kenneth Stonier and Cecil Carle, manager and editor of the Trojan will receive awards.

Initiation was held at the Phi Mu house and wTas followed by a luncheon in honor of the new Amazons.
Founded in 1920 ,the aim of the Amazons is specified as the upholding ot campus traditions among women. The safeguarding of the four cardinal U. S. C. traditions, the wearing of the green armbands, no promenading up the front walks, no Freshmen allowed in t'he tower, no prep jewrelry, is under their jurisdiction.
Cooperation with the Trojan Knights in entertaining the University’s guests, and with A. W. S. Y. M. and Y. W. and all other campus organizations in their forward endeavors is a prominent feature of the Amazon program.
Reorganization of the Amazon constitution for next year will be necessary owing to the fact that the A. S B. constitution was altered to the effect that Amazon members must be chosen from the representative campus women, one from each sorority.
Black sweaters with the Amazon emblem will be awarded to the new members next fall.

I versity of Southern California.
f
[ Frank Hadlock, who has managed all athletic activities at U. S. C. this year, was chosen for the position of secretary because of his fitness in this work, according to Mr. Stonier.

The chief activities of the Knights have been: enforcing traditions, both of specific and general nature, handling the rooters at all athletic contests, receiving and entertaining visiting team and other guests, sending off
