It is the truth that there is zons that all freshmen women will always that crowd across the avail themselves of the privilege of Coliseum rooting for the visiting ra had been secured, and that | meeting the two honored guests, as team. We have three things to
well as joining in the spirit of the say about that. First, we believe
that the principal reason for this attitude is the fact that the sporting public is generally for the “under dog.” With the exception of California and Stanford, the visiting teams are usually expected by the crowd “over there” to be up against a stronger team. That there is no feeling against the University is shown by *he tremendous applause which her sons are given when they leave the stadium.
* * *
The second statement is that the cheering for the opposite team is sponsored largely by alumni of California and Stanford. At least, that is our belief. We can’t altogether wonder at this although we frankly feel that these men might show a different spirit. However, we have gotten along for a number of years in spite of the opposition from the Bay district and we see no reason for a halt now.
Our third reaction is that we welcome such opposition, if we may grant it that for sake of argument. After all, it would be a sort of silly performance to get out there and send our yells thundering across the field to a crowd that was all on our side to begin with. No, we are proud of our varsity and our rooting section and our band and we will pit them against all people that can be packed into the Coliseum. All - - we are striving for is their respect and that we have, if we understand their evidences of appreciation for the efforts of Henney and Roberts and their cohorts.

TROJAN FEATURES ADVERTISING HELP
New “Ad Section To Be Permanent Part of Southern California Daily Paper.
As announced in yesterday’s Trojan, the new classified advertising feature makes its first appearance today. This classification of the regular Trojan advertisers will be a permanent feature of the greater Trojan, according to editor George Jordan.
All firm’s which advertise regularly are given space in this classified directory. “Wide awake business men today,” stated Jordan, “are aware of the vast buying power of a student body such as found here at Southern California. Hence, advertising, in their opinion, is not charity, but a sound business practice.” This synopsis of Trojan advertisers enables the student buyer to quickly decide where to make his purchases with the knowledge that he is patronizing a progressive business firm.
FROSH TRADITIONS TO BE ENFORCED
Garth Lacey Warns Pea Greeners That Force Will Be Used If Necessary.
‘The freshmen are going to wear their hats, and we don’t mean maybe.” So says Garth Lacey, acting as spokesman for the Trojan Knights and Squires. “We let down on them once in hopes they would have enough spirit to continue traditional behavior with supervision. Now that we know they will not, we intend to use persuasion, or force if necessary.” Yesterday the enforcement of freshman traditions began again and will be continued Wednesday and Friday of this week. Today and Thursday, the law enforcers are giving the freshmen a chance to show what they will do when left to themselves.
“We will be glad to stop this supervision when the freshmen show themselves willing to cooperate and live up to university traditions.” says Lacey. “Until then the Knights and Squires will be on the job. We are trying out three days a week, and if that isn’t enough we will be on hand Tuesday and Thursday also.”

The hats will be sold at Silver-wood's, under the direction of Mr. Larson. The price is $1.00, and a payment of $5.00 may be made within sixty days to pay the balance. Senior men are urged to procure them this week.
Student Welfare Committee Makes Regulations
Attention ls called to the regulations concerning student functions at the University of Southern California. No functions other than meetings of departmental clubs may be held except on Friday and Saturday nights. This regulation was passed several years ago by joint agreement of the Committee on Student Welfare representing the faculty, and the Executive Committee of the student body. All applications for student entertainments comprising men and women, together with the names of chaperons, must be approved by the Dean of Women ten days before the entertainment is to be given.
C. V. GILLILAND, Chairman of Committee on Student Welfare.

COMMITTEE ASKS HELP OF GROUPS
“The co-operation of all campus groups is asked in assisting the Organization Committee to compile a classified list of all groups at Southern California.” states “Boots” Oud-ermeulen, chairman of the commit-ti0.
“It is to the interest of the organizations to turn in these lists, since those groups which fail to comply will be considered non-existant in the future,” continued Mr. Oudermeulen.
Letters are being sent to all campus groups, both social and non-social, containing blank forms and instructions regarding the filling out of the forms. The completed forms are to be turned in not later than this Friday.
It is of the utmost necessity that the list be completed and accurate, since copies are to be placed in the hands of the faculty and Organization Committee.
Any group failing to receive such a letter is requested to see either Eleanor Mix or “Boots” Oudermeulen before Friday.
