A. tdnesday. red Hauser’s address was an exlent one and tended to promote that id of fellowship that should exist tween these two universities of the ith. He is a good talker and an ;ellent executive. The exchange of talks by the [wo university student body presi-|er»ts was the first step in a series Lf events between the two institutions. Wednesday night the inter-Iraternity councils of the two uni-[ersities will meet in a joint smok-ir at the Delta Chi fraternity |ouse.

Grant La Mont, dressed in a combination sailor and old maid’s costume, led the sales force in the number of Yellow Dogs sold. It was La Mont who sold 100 copies of the sheet before the other Sigma Sigma pledges got into the spirit of the campaign. Every Dog was sold by 10 a.m. The costumes worn by the pledges of the Honorary Society were decidedly unique and stirred up considerable excitement when they appeared on the campus. Ed Murray, editor of the El Rodeo, tripped forth before the astonished students dressed in rompers and a blonde wig. Lee Conti, “Trojan” editor wore a combination undertaker’s and golfer’s costume, while Freeman Hall and George Jordan presented themselves as sweet young flappers. The outfits worn by other pledges were of a similarly startling nature. The sale of the Yellow Dog proved highly successful from a financial angle. Since the approximate cost of the printing of the Yellow Dog was $100, there will be enough of a margin left over from the sale to wipe out the existing debt of the Sigma Sigma organization. i The date of the formal initiation for 1 the pledges of Sigma Sigma has not yet been decided upon.

Fred Houser spoke upon the relationship and general feeling existing between his Alma Mater and Southern California. He stated in part “That the general attitude of the student body of the Vermont Ave. institution and S. C. was one of animosity and dislike and that something must be done to remedy existing conditions, Los Angeles is large enough to maintain both institutions and there is no cause for the present ill feeling that is displayed. Efforts must be made to bring the Universities closer together and to bring about close co-operation rather than the present state of relationship. He also stressed the fact that this ill feeling is not one sided, but that the branch has taken as great r part in it %s Southern California. S. C.

Because of the early commencement date this year, today is the absolute deadline for all orders, according to Bart Hutchins, Van Ix>nen and Chaffee of Redlands. J president of the class. DOCTOR STRESSES CULTURAL BASIS That students of medicine build their scientific training on a broader cultural basis was the plea of Dr. F. M. Pottenger in an address before the Pre-Medic Society meeting last Wed* nesday. “The modern physician is so interested in treating the disease,” stated Dr. Iottenger ,‘*that he frequently forgets about treating the patient.” He enjoined upon the Pre-Medic stu dents absolute openness ot mind, a continuance of study after graduation from medical school travel, association with other physicians and contin-| uous observation. Amid a great clamor, some forty Engineers departed from the “Old Barn * Thursday morning, for the Forks of the San Gabriel, where they examined from mountain tops and deep gulches, the various sites proposed by the County of Los Angeles and the City of Pasadena for the huge dam that is to be constructed to prevent floods and drought. Practical contracting, sprinkled wi:h humor featured the talx given by god frey Edwards, president of the Edwards, W’ildey and Dixon Contracting Company to the Southern Calif. Engineers who gathered in Hoose Hall Wednesday night. Edwards in addition to being head of one of the largest contracting companies on the Pacific Coact is a most interesting lecturer. His advice to the graduating engineer is to be honest at all times; w’ork hard and have a perpetual sense of humor. Kipling’s “Sons o< Mary” was the conclusion chosen by Edwards, which made a tremendous hit with the fifty students that were present. 5. C. Debators Judge High School Contests That the S. C. debaters are attracting attention in the high schools is evidenced by the demand for >'ie.ir services as judges of nigh school contests.

The scenes from the “Troubles of 1926” were taken from the first act and were well received by the students, many encores being required.

This scene was followed by a solo by Eldred McGreel, who sang the musical hit “Kiss Me and Then Say Goodnight,” which is to be featured in the show. Tbe last scene presented “Joe” Campbell, prominent co-ed and one of the leads of the production who sang a popular number during which the chorus made its finale. Fred Houser spoke upon the relationship and general feeling existing between his Alma Mater and Southern California. He stated in part “That the general attitude of the student body of the Vermont Ave. institution and S. C. was one of animosity and dislike and that something must be done to remedy existing conditions, Los Angeles is large enough to maintain both institutions and there is no cause for the present ill feeling that is displayed. Efforts must be made to bring the Universities closer together and to bring about close co-operation rather than the present state of relationship. He also stressed the fact that this ill feeling is not one sided, but that the branch has taken as great r part in it %s Southern California. S. C.

Amid a great clamor, some forty Engineers departed from the “Old Barn * Thursday morning, for the Forks of the San Gabriel, where they examined from mountain tops and deep gulches, the various sites proposed by the County of Los Angeles and the City of Pasadena for the huge dam that is to be constructed to prevent floods and drought. Practical contracting, sprinkled wi:h humor featured the talx given by god frey Edwards, president of the Edwards, W’ildey and Dixon Contracting Company to the Southern Calif. Engineers who gathered in Hoose Hall Wednesday night. Edwards in addition to being head of one of the largest contracting companies on the Pacific Coact is a most interesting lecturer. His advice to the graduating engineer is to be honest at all times; w’ork hard and have a perpetual sense of humor. Kipling’s “Sons o< Mary” was the conclusion chosen by Edwards, which made a tremendous hit with the fifty students that were present. 5. C. Debators Judge High School Contests That the S.
