OLD CHURCH IS SOLD: 10 BOILDON CAMPUS
University Methodist Church Will Return To Campus After Long Absence.
Under the direction of C. C. Cunningham, who represents the officials of the church, and who is the business manager of the organization, the University Methodist Episcopal Church at Jefferson and McClintock was sold this week for the sum of $48,000. By the provision of the contract the church has the use of the present building until a new site has been selected and a building completed, on the Trojan campus.
The church was organized in 1881, a year after the organization of the university, with 30 members and 65 scholars in th£ Sunday School. It was located where the students store now stands, and in 1883 Bishop Warren laid the cornerstone. A year later the bui.ding was moved to the present lo-ca.ion on Jefferson street and an addition. costing $S,000, was added to it. Though the church is going to move | back ou the campus, the exact site has not as yet been selected. That it will be in the immediate vicinity, however, is settled. The plans are to erect a building which will provide, beside the usual activities for church interests, social and recreational activities for the benefit of the members of the church.
The church, through its entire history, has been closely connected with ! Southern California. Reverend M. M. Bovard. first president of the university, was the first pastor of the church when it was organized. Reverend E. | A. Healy was pastor in 1905-06-07 and Dr. Tilroe was the war-parson, serving in 1914-1918.

We believe the worst job on the campus is that of Paul Marshall, the student body accountant, when he comes to putting out the tickets for the big football game. When we think of handling eighty thousand tickets with just about eighty thousand complications, we wonder that he gets them out in time for the games at all. There is always the “old grad' who wants to slap him on the back and walk out of the office with a half dozen of the most choice seats in the Coliseum in his pocket. There is always the campus prominent who wants complimentary seats for enough, relatives to hll the rooting section. There is always the student who waits until the last minute to buy his tickets and then expects to get on the fifty yard line. This new system that Marshall has worked is about the best we have seen. It guarantees every student an equal chance at the good seats and it gives the student body the first chance, ahead of the public sale. We are not asking for cooperation with Marshall on this to sell the tickets. The tickets will sell alL right. We warn those who want the seats they are entitled to to get them when the chance presents iself.

This Harvard-Princeton break tickles us... It is really funny to see the cream of the country's collegiate life, namely the students of Princeton and dear old “Ha'va'd, ’ knocking policemen down and breaking light globes. It looks as if maybe students are students wherever they are and that that place which fosters the idea that some campuses breed a different kind of human nature than others is just a jump behind the facts... (Just for fun we might throw it out that this has two so-called “hidden meanings.”)

The other night the executive committee decided that in the future the editor of the Trojan shall be a senior and shall have had two years on the Trojan staff. As far as we are concerned we will grant that the senior requirement is a sound one if the staff continues to increase in size so that there will be no dearth of material to choose from. But the important requirement is the two-year staff membership. We are not delving into the past; what is gone is gone and we face only the future. On one past occasion a man with one year's experience got the office and made good. What the other man might have done will never be known.

But it seems basically unfair to allow one man to work for three years for the paper without other compensation than the well-known glory he gets and then let a second party, who may have held down some other salary-paying job for the same length of time, come in and take the plum by political maneuvering. Last summer we had a talk with Gwynn Wilson relative to some financial concessions for the Trojan. At that time he went into some detail to explain that the chief object of student activities is not to put out the best possible paper or the best possible something else, but to put out the best that is consistent with giving the students a chance to run their own affairs. That is, we could probably get out a better paper than we do if we were to bring in a paid, professional staff of newspaper men and get it out. But that isn’t the point, the Tro-(Continued on Page Four)
BAND GIVES SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR HGHT EVENTS
Featuring a special program consisting of marches, overtures and popular numbers, the Trojan band played at fhe Hollywood Legion Stadium Friday night as a special attraction to the boxing events. The band was under the direction of Hal Roberts.
Thursday noon, NovemDer 18, the band will play for the luncheon of the Optimist Club at the Biltmore Hotel, while on Thursday evening between 7 and 8 p. m., a program will be given over radio KFI. Special numbers will be presented, among which will be a group of selections by Stillman Wells, cornetist. This program is to be broadcasted as part i of the regular weekly Southern Cali- j fornia program.
“Although there have been no foot-ball games for the past few weeks, ! ffie band has been hard at work,” j stated Bill Ward, manager. “The men are practicing hard, and have been playing at many outside events.” I
A prominent feature of the broad- { casting of the Oregon Aggie-Southern ! California football game over the grid-o-graph last Thursday was the playing of the Trojan band, which played marches, popular numbers and school songs as a part of the afternoon’s program.
TROJAN SWF HOLDS BREAKFAST MEETING
George Jordan Tells Trojan Policies. Early Morning Meeting Proves Success At First Trial.
“Fight •’em, staff, fight ’em!” was the feature of George Jordan’s pep talk at a Trojan staff breakfast held at 7:15 Friday morning at the Cottage Tea Room.
“Publication of the Trojan is like a football game. We are now at the end of the first quarter and we have made a touchdown at the beginning. The thing now is to carry on. We must pep up, for pep and fight are the prerequisites of the reporter.”
An excellent turnout rewarded George Jordan’s inspiration regarding staff breakfasts. Because of classes and house luncheons it has been difficult to have noon meetings, and that the novel idea of group breakfasts will be more successful was proved Friday morning.
Marjorie Hull stated that copy must be in before two o’clock and that desk editors should be more careful in proofreading copy. She also made a point of the fact that the Trojan office is not a social meeting place, but a business office and should be treated as such.

Starting in tomorrow at 8 o’clock, students having in their possession student activity books will be served. While much talk has been going, the rounds of the campus lately, no one group of activity Nook holders will receive better seats. All of the twenty-seven hundred seats have been divided evenly over the book-holders. This method insures a student holding one of the last books sold a good seat for the Homecoming game with Notre Dame.
Tmorrow all students holding books between the numbers of 1-800 will be able to purchase their tickets at the ticket booth in the Studenis’ Store. Students holding books between the numbers 801-1600 will have a chance to purchase their pasteboards on Wednesday. On Thursday those students owning books from the number 1601-2400 are to be served.

Tommy Wamp, acknowledged feline of the campus, will-make his last official appearance before Christmas during Homecoming week, in the "Rah Rah Number.”
“Judging by the quantity and quality Qf the material which was turned in before the deadline Wednesday, this issue ought to be a “humdinger,” stated Milton Booth, editor.
“I especially want to praise the art work of the “Rah Rah Number,” continued Booth. “It shows great orig-

TREATS ARE DUTCH AT REDLANDS
Dutch treats—the one dream of college men that has never been realized—may be a reality if the University of Redlands is successful in persuading its co-eds that the thing to do is to foot half the bills—at least part of the time.
The idea probably originated in some of the eastern universities where a movement has been going on for some time which ls intended to benefit the young man who fails to have a vehicle in which to trans-
____port fair damsels hither and* yon.
Trojan Advertisers Save You Money. It is said that only men with cars
rate with the fair sex, and realizing the importance of “rating” (ahem), eastern universities have attempted to forbid the use of cars at all times in order to give every suitor a fair chance.
The plan now in vogue at Redlands is not to forbid the use of cars, but to divide expenses of stepping out. The plan is very satisfactory so far— with the men. Should it prove as popular with the women, other universities may give the Dutch treat plan a trial.
