S. C. RECEIVES AID FROM CHEST DRIVE
200 Students are Needed To Aid in Canvass For Community Chest Campaign.
That the university will receive $12,000 from the Community Chest campaign, to be held from November 9 to November 19, is the statement of university officials.

Here it will have a wider scope for its activities, and possibilities of a more intensive organization of its activities and affairs.

Way back in 1896, when students of Blackstone peddled bicycles, and when people drove out to Exposition Park to get into the open spaces, a handful of law students banded together, seriously intending to study law, little dreaming that they were laying the foundation for one of the leading law colleges in the nation. Twenty-nine years later, according to Judge Calvin W. Craig, the University of Southern California College of Law compares favorably with any law school anywhere. “It has been ranked since 1908 among the leading institutions of its kind in the United States by the legal profession and by the Association of American Law Schools,” the judge stated.
The law school .began in 1896. At that time several students studying in law offices decided to organize a class. Dues w^ere fixed at $1.25 per month and James B. Scott, now an international figure, was employed as lecturer. Two years later, the organization incorporated as the “Los Angeles Law School” and a full three year course was required.
In 1904 the school became the College of Law, of the Uhiversity of Southern California. Frank M. Porter was elected Dean and Gavin W. Craig, Secretary. Headquarters were at this time in the Ringe Building, Third and Broad way. The college remained here for four years and moved to larger quarters in the Exchange Building, Third and Hill, wThere it remained another three years. In 1911, the college
moved to the fourth and fifth floors of the Tajo Building where it has re mained until today when classes for mally begin ir the new law building on the S. C. Campus.
In 1905, the Law School had an en-rollmBnet of sixty-one. r'he present registration, 339, rates seventh among the American Association of Law Schools. There are only ten schools in the United States with entrance requirements equal or superior to that of the S. C. Law School. Th°se are Harvard, Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Pittsburg, Chicago, Yale, Columbia. Western Reserve, Stanford, and Ci rnia.
Juuge Gavin W. Craig, superior court judge for ten years and at present on the district court of appeals stated that eighty per cent of all deputies in the offices of the district attorney, the county councilor, the city attorney, the city prosecutor, and the public defender are graduates of the S. C.. Law School
Among the college’s more prominent alumni are: Judge G. W. Craig, a graduate of the first class, ’01; Judge John \V. Summerfield of the superior court, also a member of the first gradual1 ing class; Judge Hauser, of the district court of appeals and for fourteen years on the superior court Others on the superior court are: Judge William C~ Doran, Judge Albert Lee Stephen, Judge Elliot Craig, and Judge Walter Gates. Other prominent alumni are: District Attorney Asa
PLANS LAID FOR SECOND APPOLIAD
Success of First Appoliad Paves Way for New Program of Creative Art on Campus.
Representing the different departments in the university that are interested in the creative arts a committee laid plans for the second annual Apolliad program at a recent luncheon at the Women’s Dormitory. From the testimonials of all those present it was seen that the success of last year calls for another program this year. •
The date for the Second Annual Apolliad has not been set but it will come during May of next year. The Apolliad is a movement at Southern California which promotes and fosters the creative arts, such as literature, drama, architecture and music. It was initiated by the School of Speech and the English department. Later the College of Music and the Art and Architecture departments were called on for suggestions.
The first program was presented in Touchstone Theater last April and it included orginal short stories, dramatic monologues, poetry, musical compositions and works of art which were exhibited on the walls of the theater.
Persons may submit short stories, plays, sketches, works of music and painting and poetry to the judges of the contest who can be reached in care of the School of Speech. Poetry and ideas for pantomines and plays must be submitted before. February 1st and short stories and music before March 1st.
Various organizations on the campus are expected to submit creative works of their members. Among the most prominent in this work will be the Quill Club. From this society it is hoped will come short stories and plays that are capable of final selec-
rallies planned in connection with the University of Iowa game here on November 21.
It was originally planned to gather at the Southern Pacific Station for a rally today at 9:45, but when it waa learned that double cuts would be given for absences from classes, and that the “welcoming home” would break into the routine of the university calendar, it was decided to call off the festivities in favor of the onea planned for the inter-sectional Contest.
In cancelling the rally the Administration and rally committee will bend their entire efforts in putting over a welcome to Southern California to be given the Iowa team, and also a planned rally for the Monday following the game in case of victory.
Factors which entered into the calling off of the rally were: breaking of class routine, detraction from future rallies on more important contests, traffic difficulties which may arise, and numerous other causes.
