Dear Dean:
This being Washington’s birthday and thinking of great men. I remembered you and thought I’d send you a word about my training.
Have worked out about three times a week and have taken two long walks a week. I have had half dozen real races, but I have Iways started from a standing position and kept on my sweat lothes. I don’t want to take any :hanftes of getting hurt this sea-ison. I am down to ‘158 pounds md feel fine.
In Atlanta, Ga., I met the best printers in the South in the hun-‘red and though the track was .oft I was caught in ten seconds irom a standing start with my veat clothes on. I won by about ght yards, but the time was prob->ly too fast.
However. I think I will be in lood shape to start real training

This is the first annual affair and j the developments in the high school I yell leading will be watched with interest by the sporting world of South-I ern California.
Rumor “No Vacation” Declared False By Registrar Office
A near riot occurred on the S. C. campus yesterday afternoon when it was rumored that there would be no spring vacation. This rumor was emphatically denied by the registrar’s office.
The only explanation of how the idea was circulated is that some Sophomores were “stringing” a Freshman or that a fraternity devised a new method />f initiation.
However the rumor may have been started., the result was a weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth throughout the student body.

Music for the dance will be furnished by a twelve-piece orchestra which has contracted for an Orpheum tour. This, combined with the newness of the temple, is considered by many as reason enough for attending the dance.
Judging the contests will -be Marjorie Rice. Don Cameron. John R. Kelley and Everett Miller. While Dr. and Mrs. von KieinSmid, Dean and Mrs. Waugh. Colonel and Mrs. Bpvard, Mr. and Mrs. Gwynn Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Stonier will act as patrons and patronesses.

“Yellow Dog” and Pi Delt “Razzberry” To Be Under Sur-veilance of Executive Group; Mike Elwood, Martha Wiggett are Appointed Censors.
BY TERREL DE LAPP
Tor fear that the “Yellow Dog” and the “Razzberry,” forthcoming scandal sheets, will not come up to the high standards that universities have suddenly raised, the Southern California Executive Committee has appointed Mike Elwood and Martha Wiggett to “censor” the copy of these editions before they will be allowed to be distributed on the campus, according to a report obtained yesterday.

Nominations of officers for the Women’s Self-Government Association for next year will take place at noon today in Touchstone Theater. Because the name of the W. S. G. A. presidentelect must be submitted at the women’s spring conference, the election is being held earlier than usual. Voting will be at the polls in the Administration Building one week from today.
“Nine offices are vacant.” said Ethel Oliver, president of the W. S. G. A., “so that we expect close competition for every office. Under this new system of women’s government, the W. S. G. A. president will represent the women of S. C. in her capacity as a member of the student body executive committee.”
“It is a privilege for the women to choose their own leaders. That is why we expect a record attendance this noon, since the assembly will be an important one as the nominations today will be a factor in choosing the women’s administrators for next i year,” stated a W. S. G. A. officer re-j garding the meeting this noon.

GEOLOGY STUDENTS STUDY OIL FIELDS
Department Head Advocates Learning More Earth History and Biology.
“If more students would get correct information concerning earth history and biology, there wrould be much less controversy concerning evolution,” is the significant statement made in a recent interview by Professor A. E. Sedgwick, head of the Geology department at Southern California.
To give the students a chance to find out for themselves what others have learned, the Geology Department takes them on numerous field trips.
In the near future some 75 or 100 students of geology will go on an allday trip for the purpose of studying h and its formations. The o be visited include the oil Santa Paula; Oxnard, where

ment of the staff, it has been decided wise by the Executive Committee to make sure of the “purity” of the two annual newspaper “razz” editions.
The “Yellow Dog” is the publication put out by pledges to Sigma Sigma, Southern California’s Junior honorary men’s fraternity, and is sold on the campus for the benefit of that organization. In past years this sheet has handled good-natured “razzing” and semi-sensational accounts of the activities of prominent students on the campus. It has not come to the attention of the writer that any of these stories have ever been the cause of trouble. The Executive Committee has deemed it necessary to put the damper on this year’s edition.
Following closely along the same lines as the “Yellow Dog,” the Pi Delta Epsilon Razz Sheet w*ill also be under the eye of the representatives of the Executive Committee this year.
their share of gentle “bombing” in the latter edition. This paper has not caused ill feeling or dissension on the campus either, as far as the writer can determine.
It is not known just how the censors are to carry on their appointments. Whether the copy will have to pass through their hands before being set into print, or whether the wrhole paper will have to get the once over as a unit has not been determined.
The two annual ‘‘razz” sheets will make their appearances according to schedule, it is reported. The “Yellow Dog” will be printed within the next twro weeks. The Pi Delta Epsilon publication will come off the press at a later date.
Sigma Sigma is a closed organization and its publication is not under the jurisdiction of the associated students.

A. P. SHaW GIVES TALK AT Y. DINNER
Rev. A. P. Shaw delivered the main address at the “Y” dinner Wednesday evening. A quartet, made up of members of the choir of Wesley Chapel, Rev. Shaw’s church, entertained with negro spiritual selections.
The speaker said that the negro has played his part as an American citizen. There were 4,000 negroes in the Revolutionary War and 176.000 fought for the United States in the WTorld War.
A large crowd was present to enjoy Rev. Shaw’s address. The singers also were very interesting, presenting a type of music not often heard. Dick Sorick presided during the program, making several announcements.
Two debates are on the program of the Southern California debaters tonight. The University of Utah will be engaged in Bovard Auditorium and Loyola College in their own auditorium. The-question will be: “Resolved, That war shall be declared by a direct vote of the people except in cases of invasion or rebellion.” S. C. will uphold* the affirmative against Utah and the negative against Loyola.
The first teams working on* this question will be sent on the platform in attempt to gain victories for the squad. Very few of the debates so far this season have been for a decision, most of them having for the conclusion an open forum by the audience. So far, however, S. C. has lost no debates, tied Ohio Wesleyan and defeated British Columbia and Southwestern.
William Henley and Leland Tallman will be the speakers to meet Utah and uphold the affirmativ.e for Southern California. They are both capable and experienced men and are expected to give a good account of themselves tonight. The negative team to travel out to l^oyola is composed of Ray Brennan. They are both upper classmen and seasoned college debters.
The contests tonight will both start at 8 o’clock and there will be no admission charge.

Regular staff members of the Corona Independent will toke a vacation Saturday, when six S. C. journalism students will edit and publish the paper, under the guidance of Professor Marc N. Goodnow of the Journalism department. The students are Ralph Holly, Grady Setzler, Mynette Ritch, Marjorie Hull, Sam Friedman and one other, to be selected later.
The Corona Independent is a daily paper, published and edited by George Blair, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan, who visited -S. C. on Newspaper Day, January 17. The Trojan embryo journalists will begin work at 9 a. m. Saturday, will edit all departments and expect to be through at 5 p. m.
The trip to Corona is the first of six trips to be made by S. C. students this semester to newspapers in small towns and is being managed by Ralph Holly. A future trip to San Pedro will be supervised by Lee Conti, while Beth Baker will be in charge of a visit to Monrovia.
Sale of “Homemade99 Candy Enriches Spooks and Spokes
“Candy! Oh, you do want some, don’t you? It’s all for the benefit of Spookes and Spokes, you know/’ This plea in a sweet feminine voice was heard in front of the Ad building yesterday when ten pledges of the honorary women’s society sold $30 worth of candy for the benefit of the organization.
Although there is still some doubt on the campus as to why candy should be sold for the benefit of “Spookes,” one prominent fraternity man remarked that he would have been a spooke, spirit, ghost or what have you if he had eaten another bag full.
He confessed to fraternity brothers that he had bought candy from all ten girls because he didn’t have the heart to refuse any of them when they all asked so coyly. Be that as it may, the confession may account for the fact that all the sandy was sold before 11 o’clock.
