Their Red “Bibles”
“Frosh Bfbles” is the name applied to these small red-bound volumes because of the value placed upon them by the members of preceding Freshman classes. They contain all the information in a nutshell which a new student ought to know and are therefore expected to be constantly in the possession of all such individuals.
“Frosh, read your Bibles and obey traditions,” is the warning given.

Promising the cleverest play of the year in “The Goose Hangs High,” John Atwill, publicity manager of the forthcoming junior play, states that any who miss the performance on Friday, February 26, will miss the greatest evening’s entertainment to be found in the city.
The play is one personifying the adventurous spirit of the American college youth. Mr. Beach, the author,
fore they can serve in that capacity. Kenneth Stonier, manager of student publications, was present at the meeting Tuesday night, but took no official or definite action on the matter.
Grady Setzler and Ralph Holly, now in competition for the editorship, were two of the four members who were asked by the university officials not to register at Southern California this semester as a result of some editorial criticism which was published concerning the Wampus, and condemning it as “full of sex appeal that no newspaper

with sublety and power, Atwill declares. It is reported to be one of the most truthful, as well as most deftly handled, technically and dramatically, of any of the plays portraying the younger generation yet presented on Broadway.
Eddie Blaine, as the free nonchalant college youth, gives an unforgettably humorous characterization. Mr. Blaine is well known on the campus for his splendid interpretations of characters, and this, to all intents and purposes, will be his crowning success. Mr. Blaine will be remembered for his striking presentation of Jack Robinson in the recent chapel skit. “I Did IL”
Mr. Blaine is rivalled for stellar honors by the splendid work of Miss Julia

A buffet supper is to be served at midnight; the favors have arrived and while they are of a conventional type, they are distinctly appropriate for a Southern California dance. The music is to be provided by a twelve-piece orchestra of radio fame and the fea- [ ture of the evening will be the dancing contest, for which a silver loving cup is offered as a prize.

Battling hotly for two hours with onslaughts of eloquence, logic, and fiery refutation, the intersectional debate between Ohio Wesleyan and Southern California went to a one-to-one tie. The question in dispute was: “Resolved, That the present policy of governmental restriction of personal liberty should be condemned.” The third judge, Albert Lee Stephens of the Superior Court, was detained by illness in his family, thus accounting for the two-vote decision,
The Ohe-tO-one vote aptly expresses the character of the debate, for the arguments were extremely evenly matched and delivered. From the very moment of the chairman's introduction to the vote of the judges, the outcome was so much in doubt that the slightest thing might have swayed the decision. The speeches were all vitally alive and interesting, the audience being absorbed in the discussion during the entire debate.
Ohio Wesleyan, thru the speakers. Hurst Anderson and Arthur Fleming, upheld the affirmative. It was their contention that although certain restrictions are necessary for the preservation of individual liberty, the government was going too far with undue restrictions. This policy of undue restriction has caused a rising protest and a resulting disregard and disrespect for all laws. The remedy, according to the affirmative, lies in passing only those laws that can command the support of public opinion.
Art Syvertson and Sam Gates, upholding the negative for S. C., took the position that the policy of the government Is to be found in the written laws and that the affirmative in order to prove their case must show that these laws have caused more harm than good. They also pointed out that our present policy of governmental restrictions is the logical outgrowth cf the age old doctrine that the freedom of the individual must be restricted in order that liberty and equality may be preserved. The increasing complexity of society has caused the increase in restrictions.
Dean Waugh presided, and Earl A. Moss and W. D. Root acted as judges.

activities. In 1907, he was a delegate to the Second Hague Peace Conference; he was elected president of the American Institute of International Law in 1915, and from 1917 to 1919 he was a major and judge advocate of the United States. Nor has his influence been restricted to the legal profession alone. James Brown Scott has come to be known throughout the nation as an author and educator of note. Among the many books he has written are: “The Hague Peace Conferences, 1899 and 1907,” “An International Court of Justice,” 1916; “James Madison’s Notes on Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 and Their Relation to a More Perfect Society of Nations,” 1918.
Both Dr. and Mrs. James Brown Scott have throughout the past evinced an unusual interest in the University of Southern California. They have presented to the new Law School Building many valuable gifts in the nature of rare engravings and etchings of the most eminent English jurists of the past. It has been said that outside of the private collection of Dr. and Mrs. Scott, that those to be found in the foyer and library of the Law School Building are among the rare collections of the world. James Brown Scott was the first dean of the law school that was later absorbed by what is now the Law School of Southern California. It is because of his close associations with S. C. that he has been selected as the most logical man to deliver the dedicatory address on Friday.
Luncheons, receptions .assemblies, processions and the renewal of friendships long since forgotten are expected to occur when President Rufus B. von KieinSmid, the Board of Trustees, the delegates and the members of the Law School student body gather to partake in the event that will mark Continued on Page Four)
The rumor that has been drifting about the campus to the effect that there will be no school Friday after the nine o'clock classes is mistaken, according to Harold Stonier, executive secretary to the President. While there has been no definite decision arrived at, it is sure that the morning classes will be held according to schedule. The decision of the executive committee as to the afternoon classes wlil be printed in Friday’s Trojan.
