LAW SCHOOL HAS FORMAL DEDICATION
Many Distinguished Guests Participate in Morning Services at Bovard.
GREEK DANCE ATTENDED BY BIG CROWD
Dedication services for the new .Law School of the University of Southern California were held Friday morning on the Trojan campus. The opening of this School of Judiciary learning marks a new epic of progress in education in Southern California. Delegates and guests of nearly every state in the Union were present at yester-uay’s ceremonies.
The first event, the academic procession, was led by Hal Robert’s Trojan band, with the faculty and Seniors of the Uw School following. The line of march extended from the new Law Building down University Avenue to Bavord Auditorium, the scene of the morning program.
Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid, president of the university, presided over the program, with John Frederick Fisher, dean of the School of Religion, opening the day’s ceremonies with the usual invocation.
An address was delivered by Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney general of the United States and an alumnus of the University of South-
Ex-Committee Did Want To Hold “Info” On Wampus
An error appeared in the “Wampus Story” in Friday’s issue of the Daily Trojan, and it is the wish of the Daily to clear up the question left in the minds of some students.
The error was made in regard to the motion made in the executive committee meeting that all information on the committee meeting be withheld from publication in the Daily Trojan. It was stated by error that the motion was lost.
The motion wa? not lost and the executive motion went on record as wanting to withhold the information.
Barton Hutchips, Burdette Ives, Mike Elwood and Lee Conti were the four who took the stand that the student body had a right to know what was going on in the committee meetings. Therefore the Trojan wishes to correct the error and to say that the motion was not lost, thus specifying that the information be withheld from publication.

Stanford came back with a punch and slipped a point ahead through a foul shot made by New-house, Cardinal guard. This basket was followed a minute later by a foul shot scored by MacHaffie, which ended the scoring for the first half.
Opening the second period with a strong attack, the Cardinal and Gold players battled Stanford to a standstill during the second half and finished the game with a 20-20 score.

Scores of cars filled with happy Greeks sped their way over the pavement of Glendale and Burbank to the
Sunset Canyon Country Club last Friday evening to the annual Interfraternity Cpuncil Formal.
As keen as had been the competition for one of the ten tickets that were allowed to each house, more so was the competition for the prize of the dancing contest—a beautiful silver loving cup. The innovation of the evening was the buffet supper, which at 11:30 succeeded in winning the couples away from the strains of Patrick and Marsh’s twelve-piece orchestra.
The first indication of an unusual dance came as the cars rolled into the yard of the club. The Sunset Canyon Country Club is one of the newest and most enticingly appointed clubs in the South. Its location is such that it provides an ideal place to hold a formal dance such as that of the Interfraternity Council’s. Upon entering the club one received the usual dance program encased in an unusual way. The covers were light tan leather card cases with the university seal on them. On the front page were the crests of all eighteen of the member fraternities of the council. The dancing contest at 10:30 was one of the keenest competition.
Chaperones for the dance were: Dean and Mrs. Karl T. Waugh, Dean and Mrs. Wrallace Cunningham, Mr. and Mrs. Willis S. Hunter and Mr. and Mrs. Harold J. Stonier

Charles Wesley Burns, resident bishop San Francisco Area Methodist Episcopal Church and a distinguished alumnus of S.

Honorary Degrees of Doctor of Law were conferred upon the following: Dean Kirkland, Jesse William Curtis, alumni of S. C. Dr. James Brown Scott was given the Degree of Doctor of Civil Law. The degree of Doctor of Law was also conferred on Mrs. Willebrandt. The assembly was closed with the singing of the alma mater.

LAW BUILDING DEDICATED BY NOTED GUESTS
Impressive Ceremonies Mark Formal Opening of New Law Building.
Dignified and impressive were the ceremonies of the dedication of the new Law School Building, which took place in the auditorium of the edifice last Friday afternoon. Under the chairmanship of Hon. Albert J. Wallace, president of the University Board of Trustees, the entire program was conducted.
Frank Monroe Porter, Dean of the University Law School, gave an address entitled “The History of the University Law School,” in which he traced the story of its growth from the time when it was a mere group of students interested in the studying of law to the time when this small body was absorbed by what has come to be known as the Southern California I>aw College.
The second address of the dedication ceremonies was given by Hon. John G. Mott, the president of the Los Angeles Bar Association, and was a speech dealing with the “Profession.”
“The Judiciary” was the theme of a speech delivered by Judge Jesse W. Curtis, an associate justice of the Su^ preme Court of California.
The dedicatory address was ably presented by the Hon. James Brown Scott, the secretary of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
The ceremonies of dedication came as an aftermath to the academic pro-(Continued on Page Four)
Acting as a unit the majority of the staff of the Wampus resigned Friday. The action of the executive committee in ignoring the wishes of the staff and selecting an outsider as editor was the reason given by the staff for its action. This follows a fortnight of attacks on the W ampus coming from the country press, faculty committees, and finally the student executives.
Further reasons given for the action were: (1) To allow the new editor to pick his own staff, (2) aid the administration in their published de* mands tor a new staff and (3) as a protest against the removal of Grady Setzler and his associate editors.
When the announcement appeared in the Trojan that the executive committee had gone outside of the publication staff to select an editor, feeling among the staff members ran high. Hurried conferences were held, a written resignation was prepared and the staff members signed without dissent.
“Wre felt that this final slap in the face, coming from the students them' selves, was a little too much to take. Some staff members could not be located. But with three or four exceptions, the staff of the Wampus has resigned,” stated one of the ex-members of the staff.
The resignation of the staff was handed to Chet Mackie, as the new editor, and to Don Cameron, as chairman of the executive committee. This is reported to leave Mackie in a rather difficult situation. The hostility of the faculty, tbe outside criticism and aow the action of the staff resigning have, according to campus rumor, made the

“JAZZ” PLAY FOR JUNIORS
“Goose Hangs High,” Dealing With Youth, Now Being Released by Mrs. Teschke.
Do the young people of today have any serious thoughts in their heads, or are they concerned only with fhe!r efforts to kill Old Man Time?

Dormitory Installs Demerit System;
Rules and More Rules
There are rules and rules; but the Dormitory girls have a corner on the market.
The latest invention of said institu tion is the “Merit System,” whose main merit is to guarantee that every girl will be inside the portals by 10:30 | every Friday and Saturday night.
Due to a slight misinterpretation of Robert’s historic rules, under which ! the student council attempted to in-| stall the new rules without constitu i tional authority, there has been a mix i up in the acceptance of the system. However, it seems a certainty that the ; Merit System will soon be one clause ! in the increasingly complicated sys I tem of rule at the W’omen’s Residence Hall.
The main points of the latest “sys tem of torture” include: five demerits for lights on after 11 o’clock, five for staying out ten minutes too late, five for being outside of room in study hours and five for unnecessary noise anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Twenty demerits in one week will concel the young lady’s dates for the following week-end.
One great merit of this system lies in the fact that after the first twenty demerits, one can break as many rules os she wishes without additional pun ishment. It has been suggested thar each girl choose one week in which to get everything out of her system, and then settle down to a dignified, law-abiding life.
The officials hope in installing this system to start a precedent that will be followed by similar rules bein? voted for the sorority houses.
