And while we are on this subject we may as well take the bull by the horns and state our policy regarding Trojan news. There has been some talk on the campus to the effect that the editor was afraid to run hot stories when he got them and particularly that he was afraid to demand his rights from the administration. We are just as anxious to get the live news of the campus as anyone, in fact, we have gotten into several lively arguments over what has gone in. We have also earned the censure of that far-seeing expon-

LAW LIBRARY ADDS MANY BOOKS
One Thousand Volumes Added This Semester To Large Collection; Law Digests and Encyclopedias Are Secured; Lincoln Library of Essential Information Procured.
Additions to the Southern California Law Library total to one thousand books in one semester, according to Glenn E. W hitney, head of the Law iSchool Library, and Law School registrar.
Among the new textbooks taken in this semester are: Woods. ‘ Public Utilities;” Ferris, “Extraordinary Legal Remedies;’* Hawkins, “Philosophy of Law and Rights;’' Bohlin’s, “Studies in Torts;” Biship’s ‘Criminal Law ;” Tiffany, “Real Property ;” Ames, “Lectures in Legal History;” Pollock’s, “Law of Torts;” Elliot. “Road's and Streets,” and Mott, “Due Process of Law.”

about fighting the administration.
We believe that at least one person on this campus is just itching to see the Trojan make trouble in that quarter and then sit back and chuckle while we “hold the sack,’ but in the language of the football field, we refuse to be “sucked in.”
With a high-powered group of actors from the Metropolitan Theatre secured for entertainment at the Junior Prom Saturday evening, members of the Junior class executive committee state that everything is in readiness for the traditional event to be held in the Elk’s Temple.
Every detail of the formal has been planned to the nth degree by the * committee in charge, and according to Morley Drury, class president, it now remains for the co-operation of the junior class to make the 1928 Prom an unparalleled success.
Nothing has been overlooked in tho selection of favors, and decorations will correspond to the traditional and formal atmosphere of the aflair. The# have been chosen for their originality and will uphold the distinctivenes* of the prom.
After many interviews with prominent campus students it was deemed advisable by the committee in charge to ban corsages for the dance. It is the concensus of opinion that cor-sages are impractical for large functions of this kind. According to some of the prominent alumni of Troy the importance of the Junior Prom is increasing every year and should be the biggest event of a college student’s career.

NOW CONSIDERED AMONG THE BEST
Nearly Every School In University Has Own Library; Endowed By Men Who Are Interested In S. C.
That visiting professors invariably comment upon the equipment of S. C. libraries, is the statement of Miss Charlotte Brown, head librarian. The university library is generally accredited as being one of the best on the coast.
In addition to the departments on the campus, collateral, circulation and reference, with which most students are familiar, nearly every school of the university has its own special library. Architecture, law, chemistry,

Metropolitan College Offers New Sociology Course in Population
With an 81 percent increase in enrollment in sociology over the fall quarter at Metropolitan College comes an increased demand for graduate courses. To help meet this demand, Dr. H. G. Duncan is offering a seminar course in population, which begins December 8.
This quarter, attention will be devoted to the study of the Negro population in the United States, giving especial attention to the changing attitude toward the Negro. Population is Dr. Duncan’s major field of interest; he has studied the Negro problem in .every state in the Union; and has written both his Ph.D. and Th.D. theses on different phases of the Negro problem.

titled to. We are trying, for instance, to cover the executive committee meetings in more detail than they have been before. This is not to criticize the men who have gone before. But we are entitled to our policy and when it is questioned, we explain it. We believe that the students have a right to know what is done and said at the meetings of the governing body. As far as seems consistent with getting out a newspaper and not a publicity sheet, we are trying to support worthwhile campus activities.
What is more, we are going to continue this policy and so we give it here, just this once, so that it will be understood. Then, if there is still disagreement, all we can say is that the grumblers may iust as well save their breath.
