The Alley Cat Relates Fraternity Life As He Sees It On Campus
By BfcTTY BAKER
Scandal about their Greek neighbors, but none about themselves, has been turned into the Wamp office by reams, according to Grady Setzler, head trainer of the campus feline, and will appear in all its detail, accompanied by lines of the authors, when the Wampus pops out of the alley on March 3.
Heart balm for the horrors of Hell-VVeek is what the alley cat promises in its next number, a Greek expose of the house secrets of the so-«alled orders of the Garter, hitherto kept dark behind the front doors of Twenty-eighth street Trojan domiciles.
That no chapter house library will be complete without a full file of Wamps, and especially the Greek number of the kitty’s howl, to take their place along side the files of notebooks, freshmen themes ,and collateral outlines, is the advise that leaks out from behind the closed doors of the back-lence office iwhere the cat daily licks up the cream of scandal which it is soon to divide with the campus.
All the low-down about Pan Hellenic and hells-panic, the Inter-frat mix-up, and the track meet, Hell week vs. the Russian affair, combined with all ob tainable information concerning Greek orders, both on the campus and on North Main street will blossom forth in readable and undisguised form when the Wampus cat creeps forth from his lair.
IN LIKE LION
An unusual number of requests for reprint permits have been received at the comic-cat office. The Wamp is widely and recklessly quoted abroad. Probably the most immense circulation of its nine lives will greet the whiskered jokester when it comes in like a lion on the third of March, due to the fact that Greek alumni as well as campus activities have signified an uncanny curiosity about the beast.

Southern California students will nd on the shelves in the library a umber of splendid new books, accord-g to Miss Brown, University librar-an.
English Majors will be delighted to hear of the arrival of forty-three volumes of fascimile quartos, and four folio reproductions of Shakespeare, which are now on material.
Those who have (Professor Wann’s doubt enjoy some
file as source
been attending lectures will no essay reading. ‘Mencken’s Prejudices,” and a book by Stuart P. Sherman “Points of View.” are both of interest for their style and content.
Christopher Morlev’s “Essays” are also to be had. Mary Austin’s new book entitled, “The Land of Journey’s Ending,” promises to be as popular as her “Land of Little Rain.”
Non-fiction works are best represented by “The Peasants,” by Ladislas Reymont, in two volumes. These books recently won the Noble prize. Other new non-fiction books of present day worth are “How to Work your Way through College,” by Raymond F. Sullivan. and “Football, How to Watch it.” By Percy D. Haughton, the latter has an introduction by Heywood Brown. “Life and Letters of Theo-
dore Roosevelt," by Archie Butt, and “Letters of Theodore Roosevelt,” are both excellent for their readability.
The year 1924 was noted for its long number of bibliographies. Among the best of these is, “From Seven to Seventy,” by Edward Simmons. In this book are recorded the memories of a Painter and a Yankee.
Miss Brown recommends for travellers, "The Real Argentine,” by Horn-merton and “Glimpses of South America,” by Sherwood. Fine descriptions of the Gypsies may be read in “Gypsy Fires in America,” by Irving Brown.
Poetry lovers will doubtless be clamoring for Edgar Lee Master’s “New Spoon River.” “Ariel, Life of Shelly," by Andre Manrois, authough of a non-fiction class is almost considered among the “best-sellers,” as the story is so very realistic and romantic.
Last, but not least are “Sc Big." by EdrcrFurber, “The White Monkey,” by Galsworthv, “The Little French Girl,’’ by Anne Douglas Sedwick, “Idle Forties.” from the pen of Gertrude Atherton, “Queen Califia,” by John Masefield and Booth Tarkington’s latest, “The Midlander.,’ Commanding great popularity is Rafael Sabatini’s “Tongue mada,” and the “Spanish Inquisition. ’
Women’s Glee Club To Re-appear At Forum
Plans for another week’s appearance at the Forum Theater in I>os Angeles are being made by members of the University of Southern California Women's Glee Club, according to Rosalind Williamson, a member of the club. The next appearance at the Forum is to take place in April.
Friday evening members of the Women’s Glee Club sang at the Phi Beta Kappa banquet at the University club. During the past semester the women have sung at numerous churches and clubs around Los Angeles and have been well received.
On Wednesday night, March 4, the Women’s Glee Club will give a concert at the City Club. A special Trojan night is to be held and the entire U. S. C. student body is invited. Preceding the concert there will be a dinner and later dancing.
The Women’s Glee Club is planning trips to San Diego, Riverside, San Francisco and San Fernando. These concerts, Miss Williamson stated, would be made during the semester.
That the plans for the great social event of the Junior Prom to be held March 27, are nearing completion was the information given by Revelle Harrison, member of the Junior Prom committee in an interview yesterday.
“The best ballroom and the best orchestra, not only in Los Angeles, but on the Pacific Coast have been procured for the Junior Prom of the class of 192t5,” said Mr. Harrison. “No dance ever put on at U. S. C. has been as carefully planned as this Prom.
“The favors have been ordered and are unique in design and form and so selected that thej may be useful as well as ornamental. The committee feels that for the present it is not nec* essary to name them, definitely, but they are clever and attractive.
“From the first the class has desired to give its Prom in the Biltmore ballroom. By a final arrangement yesterday their desire has become a concrete reality.
“For the orchestra, it is sufficient to say that Abe Lyman wil] furnish the syncopation. To anyone who has ever danced at all Abe Lyman's represents the end of the rainbow.
“A limited number of tickets are to be printed and.be sold for $f*.00 Paeh. Although the upper classmen will have first chance to buy the tickets, the sale will later'be opened to underclassmen, so even the lowly Frosh may hope to take their Shebas to the Prom
The committee who is planning the Prom consists of Ronald Snavely, chairman and class president. Majorie Rice, class vice-president. Jenny Lee Moore, class secretary and Evelyn Ross, Red Haynes, Solly Levinson and Revelle Harrison.
A meeting of the committee is to be held Thursday at 3 o’clock in the Wampus office. All members are urged to be present.
Thursday evening the University of Southern California debaters will meet teams from Caltech and Occidental in the second round of the 1925 season of the Southern California Debating Conference.
The Trojan affirmative team will attempt to put a crimp in the championship aspirations of Caltech in the Touchstone Theatre, Old College, beginning at eight o’clock, Thursday evening. The negative team on the same evening will journey to Occidental and meet the strong Tiger aggregation.
The subject is the same as that of the first round and is stated, “Resolved: that the immigration laws should be so amended as to Japanese on the same basis as the European nations.”
Last year the representatives of Troy defeated Caltech and the squad has been working enthusiastically and hopes to repeat the victory of 1924

SENIOR SNAPS START IN MARCH
The first of the 1925 series of Senior Snaps will be held at the Pi Beta Phi house on Wednesday evening, March 11. Bids in the form of tags may be secured on the campus from members of the Senior Executive committee for the more or less nominal sum of twenty-five cents. The affair is open to seniors only. Dates are severely frowned upon and are to be discouraged.
“Many long years ago this idea of having a series of just jolly get-together and get-acquainted affairs for seniors was established and has been carried out annually and religiously ever since,” said Dorothy Haldeman, vice president of the class “It’s virtues are two-fold in that it gives the seniors a chance to torn' some idea as to what their class looks like in flesh and bloou, and to have a Iasi good time as undergraduates before joining the ranks of the alums’.”
A campus orchestra will play and members of the committee expressed themselves as believing that the seniors would give the affairs their full support.
tween Cal., Stanford and U. S. C.
“The athletic committee has been too cumbersome in the opinion of many and the Univergity has therefore taken action,” said Lewis.
California and Stanford have turned the question of who is eligible and who is not over to a similar committee and in this way the three universities can reach harmonious decisions easier and with less confusion, according to the President.
According to Lewis the committee will be composed of nine men. There will be five faculty members, two student representatives and two alumni on the committee. The faculty men include Doan Morton, chairman. Dean Ford of the College of Dentistry. Professor Millikan of the College of Law. Professor Sedgwick of the Geology department and Professor Willet of the College of Liberal Arts.
STUDENTS INCLUDED The students will be represented by the President of the student body and one more man to be selected by the executive committee. Prominent candidates are Mike Elwood, Yale Martz and Ronald Stever. These two men will be the instrument through which the student body as a whole can voice its opinion in any matter which comes up before the committee. In the same way the alumni club and in fact everyalum-nus will have the two alumni members on the committee to voice their opinions.
The committee will meet every Tuesday hereafter and the graduate manager w-ill direct his actions in scheduling games with other schools to suit the action taken by this committee. Eligibility is another question that will be discussed by this body and decided upon.
“W'hether a student is eligible or not will depend entirely upon the faculty members of the committee” was the statement made by Ned Lewis when the announcement of the committee was given out.
TWO SPORT RULE Enforcement of the two sport rule will follow according to the announcement. Men will not be allowed to compete in more than two sports unless they can show a high scholastic (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)
Bachelors Hold Meeting To Continue Warfare on Dates
By BACHELOR REPORTER
After passing final examinations with only an eighty per cent of flunks, the Wampus Bachelor Club, said to be the women haters of the campus (it was impossible to confirm this rumor up to press time last night) held its first meeting of the new semester at the Cozy Den Cafe yesterday noon, with prexy Carlton Morehouse presiding. While draped around the festive meat-loaf. Spanish style, plans were discussed for the spring semester program. As in past years the Bachelors wTill present its traditional act in the Senior Road Show\ May 21. The skit for Bachelors of 1925 will be under the direction of a committee composed of Hank McCann, Yanks Allen and Bud Welin. Although none of the club would be quoted as to the nature of the act, each member enthusiastically agreed in saying that it would be as high in literary quality, as the Yellow Dog and as shady in caliber as the Wampus, sponsor of the club.
As the Bachelors have exploited all possible dates on the campus in past dances it wras agreed to make the next
social event in the nature of a stag week-end party to Lake Arrowhead where the members could write their term papers and catch up with collateral undisturbed by the so-called fair sex. The club was influenced iu the choice of Arrowhead by the report of one of the members to the effect that nowhere in California could more sparkling pure water be found. While away from steam heat and city ordinances the Bachelors will rehearse the act for the Senior Road Show. Chaperons will be chosen later.
As several members of the club felt that insufficient publicity had been given them during the past semester, one issue of the Trojan will be entirely w-ritten and edited by members, the one stipulation being that no one member could be mentioned more than twenty-five timos. This edition will appear during the latter part of the semester and will announce the chosen members for the club during 1925-26. Members will be chosen only from the Junior class and each member of the present chapter has the privilege naming one man.
