WAMPUS EL
DINNER OPENS Y CONFERENCE
G. Bromley Oxman Will Speak At Dinner in Y. Hut Tonight at Five O’clock.
What occurs at the executive Icommittee meetings should be the [property of the student body which has chosen these men and women as their representatives, yet of the members present, Barton Hutchins, Mike Elwood, Burdette Ives and the writer were the only ones to believe so. This was as a result of the motion made and passed that what had transpired at the unofficial meeting of the committee be kept from publication In the Trojan. The members of the executive comittee are not pledged to secrecy and therefore the facts are easily learned. The writer may be entirely wrong on his views and if so would like to be told about it in a letter by the members of the student body. The Lookout intends to stand by the Associated Students who placed him in office and it is for that reason that the facts of the meeting yesterday are given. The student body SHOULD know how its affairs are handled regardless of what methods its representatives chose to carry out the administration. The suppression of wrongs does not establish truths of a clean administration, so it is for that reason that the Lookout, who, although a member of the committee, takes much exception to the manner in which the committee handles student affairs.
* * *
That's the way zee feel about it. \re zl'C wrong? It zvas unfair to member of the committee to be rhered into a meeting, asked to ist a Z'ote only after brief accounts 'rc i^iz'cn of the tzco candidates," \it the flipping of the coin to de-this one vote zvas also unfair the student body, zcho zvould like have their affairs handled in a [ore dignified manner.

Wampus, the new editor of the Wampus should be asked to conduct the Wampus in accordance with the wishes of the student body, and that the editor should be elected to fill the office only temporarily till the Executive Committee could get the supervision of the Wampus well in hand in accordance with a resolution passed at the Tuesday night meeting. Tall-raan’s resolution was passed without a dissenting vote.
SETZLER and HOLLY WITHDRAWN
The names of Grady Setzler and Ralph Holly, which yesterday created so much comment after they were proposed as candidates for the Wampus editorship Tuesday evening, were withdrawn upon a recommendation of the administration. Nominations for the vacant office of Wampus editor were then opened. The name of Chet Mackie remained on the ballot. Miss Marjorie Hull was nominated by Lee Conti. The nominations were closed. HULL WINS FIRST BALLOT Adna Leonard, manager of the Wampus, spoke in behalf of Chet Mackie. I>ee Conti and Bart Hutchins spoke in favor of Miss Hull. The ballot was cast in favor of Miss Hull, 6 to 5. It was then discovered that two of the members of the committee had withheld their votes. Upon a questioning, Messrs. Tallman and Sam Gates revealed that they were con tem plat ins: whom to vote for.
Before an attempt was made to cast these two votes, Burdette Ives asked that they be ruled out of order on the (Continued on Page Two)
Stressing the more serious side of college life, the All-Campus Students’ Conference will begin with a dinner in the Y Hut this evening at 5 o’clock, at which time G. Bromley Oxnam, noted lecturer fin social relations, will speak.
That this conference is a direct challenge to all college students is the statement made by Stanley McKee when asked concerning the nature of the conference. He further stated that it was a time when the students may come face to face with the problems that will confront them when they leave school and prepare to enter the industrial world.
Men who are noted authorities in the various industrial fields will be present and speak on the industrial problems and the relationship of the college student to the industrial world. Such men as Paul Blanshard, G. Bromley Oxnam and Dr. Raymond Brooks have been secured by Y officials.
“What Can the College Student Do?” “Industry as Is,” “The New Social Order” and ‘‘Who Is the Atheist in the New Social Order?” are the subjects of the various speeches and clearly illustrate the more serious trend of the conference. The students’ thoughts will be diverted for a short time from the athletic and social fields to some of the problems of life.
McKee, who is chairman of the committee arranging the conference, stated that this is essentially a students’ conference, under the auspices of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., and although faculty members are cordially invited to attend they will not participate except as onlookers. Students from the University of California, Southern Branch, Occidental College, Christian College and other campus colleges of the city will attend. This is one of the first conferences of this nature attempted on the S. C. campus.

Information on Organizations Must Be Turned In Immediately, Acocrding to Ed Murray.
Many organizations on the campus are holding up the progress of the El Rodeo by their slowness in getting the necessary information concerning their organization in to the El Rodeo office, according to Ed Murray, El Rodeo editor. Murray states that there are only a very few lists turned in and that the pages cannot be made up until the negligent organizations see to getting in the desired information.

After a whirlwind start of the sec-one half, in which they erased the six-point lead of the Cardinals, the Trojan basketballers failed to keep the advantage and after the riotious half was over, the Stanford team emerged a 24 to 21 winner at the Olympic Auditorium last night. The victory gives the men from the North the edge on the three game series with Southern California The third game will be played Saturday night in the Auditorium.
MANY FOULS
The first half was marked by nam-erous fouls. The first four points of the contest were the results of free field goals. Captain Price, of the Cardinals, made the first field goal of the evening, sitting on the floor. Vincenti followed with another and the Cards were out in the lead.
BOYER SCORES
Captain Kenny Boyer, who was closely guarded all evening, looped the first goal for the Trojans. Then followed a barrage of fouls and free tosses. The half ended with Stanford leading. 13 to 7.
TIE SCORE
The first fewT minutes of the second half were the best of the evening for Southern California. Boyer arched one, and this was followed by one by Thomas. MacHaffie looped a third to tie the score at 14 all and the Trojans rooters were jubilant.
Ted Shipkey, the brilliant football star of the Cards, went into the game and in a minute, had two free throws to his credit. Jayred, lanky Card center looped one. Then Bill Clark, Stanford forward, dropped two baskets from the center of the court. These two tosses were really the deciding factors of the game.
Coach Turner’s boys fought on, however, and Boyer found the hoop twice and Dorsey once.
A barrage of close, breath taking shots in the final seconds of play by the Trojans had the house on edge but the ball would not drop through.
BOYER HIGH
Captain Boyer was high point man of the game with 10 digits. He played his usual brilliant game throughout. Gene Dorsey was a tower of strength (Continued on Page 3)
