RAfflC RULES ARE ENFORCED
n On Reckless Driving Is Begun By University Police
Classes in parking, reckless driving, jding in the street and other traf-ordinances will be held every day t Central Police Station, the fee be-ig five dollars a lesson.
University students are politely but rmly requested to observe traffic iilea and regulations by Sergeant Au-rey of tbe University Police Station, aa interview Sergeant Aubrey stat-that the so-called “Death Alley lust be kept clear or radical measures ill be taken by the Police.
Section thirty of Article five of the raffic ordinance says that all auto-lobiles must be parked parallel to the urb unless a special permit is granted y Central Station or the Police Com-lission. Students have been violat-ig this all year according to the Ser-eant. However, the main objection that students have been double arking and leaving their machines tanding in the middle of the street musing much confusion around tbe Jniversity and hindering traffic coming down University avenue. “This aaust be changed” said Sergeant Au-ey, “or we will arrest everyone who breaking the traffic rule in any form. Sergeant Aubrey recognizes the unwritten rules of parking around the University, that is that head in park-g will be allowed providing that ouble parking and standing in the treet is stopped. The reason for the gging of machines yesterday was to tir up the students and show' them he dangers of blocking University venue.
DRIVE IS COMING
A drive by the police is coming according to Sergeant Aubrey. Machines arked vertical to the curb will not be othered if students will observe some »ution in the way they park. A committee from the University will interview the Police Commission today or ;omorrow in regard to the measures hat have been adopted by the Police. Sergeant Aubrey is concerned mainly fith keeping University Avenue clear *>nd eliminating reckless driving especially between nine and ten o’clock and at noon.
One of the things Sergeant Aubrey waxed wrath on was turning in the middle of the block. "It is a dangerous practice” quoted the Sergeant, “and it must absolutely be stopped or serious results will follow.”
Jaywalkers and men of the smoking circle who congregate around the middle of the street are included by Sergeant Aubrey.
“The other day I was coming down University Avenue and I had to stop and blow the horn on my car before I could go on through the crowd in the middle of the street,” said Sergeant Aubrey in the interview given yesterday. He made the further suggestion that it might be wise for students not to park their cars in the zone marked with red paint at different points around the University. “A hint to the wise is sufficient.” said Aubrey. “Parking will be watched from now on and violators of the above rule will be in-iated into Central Station.”
Watch Your Step Is Police Warning
Do not stand in the street.
Turn only at intersections.
Do not park in the middle of the street.
Stop at pedestrian crossings.
Do not park double or against red curbs.
Do not speed.
Don’t tear up your tag if you are arrested for violating any of the above.

When Greek Meets Greek They Start A Track Meet

Knight, and if so why not?
It sounds like a cross word puzsle, and threatens to set the campus dictionary hounds to conjuring up visions of black and white squares, but it is nothing of the kind, say those who are in a position to know.
Furthermore, it has been definitely settled that the answer is not when he is a night-hawk, although it is well known that fraternity men rate themselves as such.
The answer is simple. When fraternity men clash next Wednesday afternoon on the tournament green of the Coliseum, carrying on their breasts the colors of their organized lady love, a sorority, a la Knighthood in Flower, they will be both Greek and Knight.
attire of sheet iron and ostrich plumes, knights were wont to sally forth, riding hard together to win the honors of a joust, the pagent scene of the Coliseum tomorrow will be one of romantic character, like, yet unlike, for the competitors will sadly lack the traditional attire and the one steed of the campus is the Wooden Horse, the tournaments of old.
The women in the case, beautiful ladies perhaps in distress, are scheduled to look down modestly on the field, cheering their heroes on to victory, perhaps dropping their handker chiefs onto the green to test the chivalry of their special knights.
When Greek meets Greek on the field of battle tomorrow the Knights I will be there.
REVELATION SHOWS E RODEO CONDITION
Only Thirteen Hundred Have Subscribed to Annual; Liberal Arts Slack
Startling announcement comes from Bart Hutchins, Editor of El Rodeo that past propoganda about the year book sales going over "big” is all wrong; that the book in order to pay for the actual cost of printing must be sold to at least twenty-five hundred students; that up to the present time on ly thirteen hundred subscriptions have been taken; and that El Rodeo is In danger of not being edited on time or completely if individual pictures are not taken before Friday of this week.
Color work in El Rodeo will amount to nearly two thousand dollars this year, according to Mr. Hutchins. He states that he has been receiving con gratulations on the successful way El Rodeo has been selling. He says be does not know where his congratulat-ors have received the idea that the book has gone “over the top,” and he wants everyone to know that this is the “bunk,” that his publication is in danger of losing over two thousand dollars if more subscriptions are not taken.
Law and Dental Colleges have “gone over’’ one-hundred percent, as well as the Architects. He states, however, that Liberal Arts has signed up only ten percent strong. According to Mr. Hutchins Liberal Arts should be the mainstay for subscriptions to their year book, instead of being at the bottom of the percent column.
Friday of this week is the last day that pictures may be taken for El Rodeo. Witzel’s Studio has a set in operation at the Y Hut on University avenue where pictures can be taken any time this week. Reports from the set yesterday bring out the fact that only two pictures were taken on Monday. The cost of maintaining this set is estimated at twenty-five dollars per day, and, according to Mr. Hutchins, the Witzel staff is becoming disgusted with the response made by Southern California students in getting their El Rodeo pictures taken.
NO EXTRA COPIES

QUARTER SYSTEM MAY BE ADOPTED
Committee Will Investigate Advisability of Changing Academic Program
A special temporary committee has been raised for the purpose of investigating the advisability of reorganizing the present academic calendar on the quarter basis. The members of this committee are Dean K. Waugh, Claude Douglas, R. D. Hunt.jW. K. Immel, L. B. Rogers, and H. J. Stonier.
The plan under investigation is to divide the present two semesters a year into three quarters and then add the Summer Session as the lourth quarter. By doing this students who desired to, could graduate in three years if they attended the summer quarter. Attendance for the fourth quarter would be entirely optional with the students.
The U. S. C. Metropolitan college is now working upon somewhat the same I basis as the one now under investigation. Students at the Metropolitan College may attend three quarters and work the fourth.
A number of well known Universities follow this system, and find it very successful. Leland Stanford University and the University of Chicago use the four quarter plan.
BERTRAM STEVENS IS CHAPE SPEAKER
Dr. von KleinSmid Gave Appreciation of Dr. Norman Bridge
Sacrifice wras tiie keynote of the ad-ress delivered in chapel Tuesday by the Rev. W. Bertram Stevens .bishop of the IjOs Angeles diocese of the Episcopal church. The benefits of civilization, according to the bishop, come from the sacrifice of others. The individual should try to concentrate his efforts to produce something in return for what he receives in this way.
((A great nation is the result of the sacrifice of our forefathers,” said Bishop Stevens. “A great university is the result of the sacrifice of those who have built it up. We do not realize that people are sacrificing for us, but it is only as each generation meets the sacrifices of each preceding generation that we shall progress to the point of bringing in the kingdom of God. When we gain a sense of stewardship towards the community and its needs, we shall understand the use of leadership, money, and time as consecrated to the service of God.”
Dr. Rufus von KleinSmid also spoke in appreciation of Dr. Norman Bridge, whose recent death left the University of Southern California as one of the beneficiaries named in his will.
BAND ENTERTAINS AT BIG GAMES
RIFLE CLUB WILL MEET AT ARMORY
Meeting of the Trojan Rifle Club will take place tonight at 7:30 in the Armory at Exposition Park. The evening will be given over to shooting and rifle instruction, constituting the first rifle practice since the organization of the club last week.
As many student*: have shown a keen interest in indoor rifle shooting. Coach Nichols of the Athletic Department and Don Cook, student organizer, have decided to rapidly push to completion the plans for the U. S. C. Rifle Club. The first plan of the organization called for a membership of sixty men. but so much enthusiasm has been shown by the presence of over eighty men at the last meeting, that the quota has been raised to one hundred.
Membership is open to any registered student at the University interested in Rrifle shooting, whether he has ever shot with one before or not. Coach Nichols says ,“we not only want men with experience, but everyone who is interested is asked to come out and shoot. If the man is inexperienced we will teach him to shoot; if he is experienced we will do our best to make him an expert.”
BAND
The Trojan Band will entertain the basketball fans tonight at the pavilion during the game with the T’niver-j sity of Arizona.
As Wednesday night is usually the night for the band rehearsal, the members of the band will all be out to plav I at this game, according to Roswell Allison who is managing the band. The j band will also plav at the two games next Friday and Saturday nights with the Utah Agricultural College.

ly keen.
The Zeta Kappa Epsilon House, the winners of last year’s meet, are again the favorites. They will have Willie Lewis, winner of last year’s sprints, Eddie Green, who took both hurdles and Burke Long who copped the javelin. They will miss the services of John Hawkins in the weights. The Zekes will run for the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority.
The closest rivals, in the pre-meet dope, are the Sigma Chis and the Sigma Alpha Epsilons. The Sig Chis were runnerups last year while the S. A. E.’s failed to show much. The Sigma Chis will have Bill Cook, Field Thompson, Red Badgro, Craig Nason and Al Behrendt as the backbone of their squad. Their array of sprinters will probably mean that they will place high in the relays. The Sig Alphs will depend a great deal on Hobbs Adams in the sprints and Jones in the weights. Hobbs has been practicing every day. especially on the starts, and he looks good for at least one first.
Lambda Psi, Theta Sigma Nu. Phi Alpha, Phi Alpha Mu, Delta Phi Delta. Gamma Epsilon and Sigma Tau all have men who may win first place
in their events.
MEN IN TRAINING
The records made last year ire in danger for the men have been practicing over a month for the meet. Although no lettermen or last year's numeral men are entered. Bill Hunter, chief of the Intra-mural Sports at Southern California expects some good showings. Men who have not had time to try for the varsity or Frosh team but who have been in track work at high school, will probably show up better than is expected.
The meet will include all of the regular track and field events with several feature relays and the hop-skip-and jump. The relays were the exciting features of last year’s meet.
Several of last year’s winners will be back to participate in their favorite event. WTillie Lewis iu both sprints and Eddie Green in both hurdles will enter again for Zeta Kappa Epsilon. Burke Long will again throw

If You Wish A Life Mate
Try Our Nuptual Bureau
By CHET MACKIE
That college is an excellent place tocfind it easy to make another engage-meet your future husband or wife was the opinion expressed by numerous members of the faculty when asked to comment on the subject. Other faculty members stated that the idea of college as a matrimonial bureau was becoming too popular among some of the young women of this day, and the outcome, if allowed to continue, would be disastrous to the present day educational system. Studies, they charged, were being neglected in the hunt for soul-mates.
“My impression is that the majority of college engagements do materialize,” said one prominent professor.
‘ That is if they are made when the students are old enough, possibly when they are in their junior or senior years. The majority of college engagements result in happy marriages.”
The idea of freshman girls becoming engaged was frowned upon by one of the women faculty members. “Why it’s hard enough for some freshman girls to get through freshman English without being bothered with an engagement,” she stated. “I have no sympathy whatever with the engaged freshman girl; she has no business in school. Sororities ought not to allow their tresbmen to wear fraternity pins. iwouW cause s,udont8-nor to announce tbeir engagements." .seriously before takiI1K the 8tep “The freshman or sophomore girl engagements would last longer also, whose engagement is broken will not j the man said.
ment,” one young male faculty member said. “During my seven years at this university 1 have watched with interest the numerous engagements and their outcome. The engagements of upper-classmen usually last, but those of the underclassmen as a rule are broken within a few months, and the girls fail to return the next semester. Maybe it is because they are forced to choose a new field. A second engagement at the same university seems impossible.”
The young professor’s advice to girls was that they should stay fre* until their third year, or preferably their senior year, and that an engagement then would be advisable.
The effect of the engagement on the student’s college work was discussed by several of the faculty members. The period before the engagement is probably the hardest on the school work, one subtly suggested. Another thought engagements interferred materially with scholastic efforts. “It is the best thing in the world for some people,” another declared.
The registration of engagements was suggested by one of the college authorities. This, he said, would discourage too frequent engagements and
