Ob the ikout msgsmm mm Southern By THE EDITOR OME time ago there was I brought out at an alumni din-t that the University of South- 'n California was extremely formate in having such a national Ture as Rufus B. von Klein-lid as head of the Trojan insti-tion. It was shown by the weaker at this dinner that popu-rity of the University President as in the majority of schools irer-shadowed by the name of the otball coach. Now this is not belittle the name of Coach roward Jones, but it is to illus-ate to the student body how -ominent a personage President n KieinSmid is in both national id international affairs. • • • President von KieinSmid has been tive in governmental affairs for the •.st few years, and his present trip the annual convention of the Asso-jation of American Colleges adds to ie importance of Southern California d to himself. • • • The University of Oregon has been periencing extreme difficulty with eir University President and foot- II coach. The following is an exact from an editorial in the Ever-een following the U. of O. defeat at e hands of the Oregon Aggies: • • • When the U can't beat that bunch of radishes from the Corvallis truck garden it isn’t a Prexy we need but an H to G coach.” “Bring on the Bezdeks and away with the presidents; we want a stadium.” • • * Southern California desires a foot-11 championship very much, but we rdly believe that the student body sould take such an attitude towards president. We wonder if the asso-ated students really appreciate Present von KieinSmid? If not, think over, for you may never get anther one like him. ♦ ♦ ♦ E often wonder how many students pay any attention to the lepartmental publications of the Uni-[ersity of Southern California. This Vas brought te our notice yesterday hen a copy of the January issue of :e Personalist was submitted for a rview. The Personalist, edited by octor Ralph Tyler Flewelling of the . C. Department of Philosophy, is a ery instructive and interesting publication. $ • i It is both well written and well edited and shows considerable study. The contributors in the January issue are a carefully selected group. • • • Doctor Flewellings editorial m “Our Copy-book Intelligence" is very interesting article, as is also rofcssor H. ildon Carr’s article n “Father Daniel's Journey •» escarte's World." “Along the ookskelf,” a review of recent books, is one of the most enlightening sectwns of the magazine. ♦ ♦ ♦ ANOTHER new semester will be here shortly, and along with It will come the semi-annual cut-throat mpetition for the bright lights from e various high schools. Just how ar has the inter-fraternity council one with their steps towards a syste-atized rushing season? Steps were ken by the council some time ago, ut nothing has been heard about hem since. m • • We’d like to see a set of rules for the men's rushing season adopted before the next semester, which would insure every fraternity, local or national, large or email, having a fair chance at any of the men of the Freshman class. • • • If more of the larger Jiational eternities are to come to the outhcrn California campus a sys-'tn must be installed. Let's have a ?t of rules adopted at the next in-:r-fratcrnity meeting and not waU til the semester opens to discuss »me tiew plans. * * * HERE is a criticism to be made of a great many members of the culty and student body who refuse patronize Trojan advertisers. This in reference to an eating establish snt on University Avenue which has ntinually refused to advertise in the ojan. • * • To patronize such an establishment is not playing “on the square” with the other Trojan advertisers. It is needless for us ito mention the name of this sstaurant, but it will be found mong those missing in the «d-rtising columns of the Daily. * • * any members of the faculty and (Continued on Page 4) California BASKETBALL RESULTS Southern Calif., 33 vs. L.

Initial meetings of 1926 will be held by both the Trojan Knights and Squires within the following week, the Knights gathering at the Cosy Den, Jefferson and University, at noon tomorrow, and the Squires at the Sigma Tau house, 335 Webt 27th Street, at the same time next Wednesday. Tomorrow’s meeting of the Knights is primarily to renew interest after the recent vacation, according to Burke Long, president. Plans will be outlined for the Trojan Knights-Ama-zon dance to be given January 22nd, and probably decisions will be made on the names of several prominent campus men for membership in the organization commencing with the February session. Carl Plate, Squire president, predicts a successful meeting next week, at which time final decisions will be made, so far as the Squires are concerned, upon the fate of the incoming Freshmen. In the past it has not been customary for the Frosh entering in the middle of the year to wear the tra-idtional cardinal hats, and as a result the classes have not had the spirit and co-operation that characterizes the fall entrants. The Knights will probably recommend that the second semester Frosh be required to wear the hats. Members of both organizations are urged to be present at the first meetings of the year. MAIL STUDENTS INVITATIONS FOR NEWSPAPER DAY NOTED SPEAKER TALKS IN CHAPEL SERVICE TODAY Goeffrey Morgan to Tell Qualities of “The Four-Square Man/' Geoffry F. Morgan, who spoke here recently on “What’s the use?” will be the speaker in chapel today. His topic “The Four-Square Man,” is an outline of the qualities which must be devel oped by every man who wants to “stand four-square to every wind that blows.” Mr. Morgan holds degrees from Leland Stanford and Columbia universities and has taught for nearly twenty years. In addition to his work as a teacher, however, he has devoted a part of his time to writing and lectur ing, having contributed to many of the leading school journals, and lectured in more than thirty states of the Union. The music will be by William Pilcher, tenor soloist at the Sunday services. JUNIORS TRYOUT FOR PLAY TODAY “The Goose Hangs High” Chosen for Annual Junior Class Production; Tryout Held in Bovard at 3.

COMMITTEE VOTES ON MOVIE MACHINE Members Favor Buying Projector for School; Rally Schedule Announced. At the regular Rally Committee meeting yesterday the question of buying a motion picture machine for the school was discussed, and the committee expressed itself as in favor of buying the machine. A committee composed of Ormond Greer, Burt Long and Paul Welsh was appointed to look into the matter. A report was made that the School of Speech would participate in a program on February 12. Programs for the next two weeks are: This Friday, class meetings and next Friday, a radio program under Hal Williamson’s direction. Definite plans have not been announced for the remainder of the semester. First tryouts for “The Goose Hangs High,” the play selected by the Junior Class for its annual offering this year, will be held this afternoon at 3 P. M. in Bovard Auditorium. There will alsc be tryouts on Thursday and Friday afternoons. The play will be directed by Sally Taft Tesche, director of “The Broken Bachelor” last month, which was pronounced an astounding success by theatrical critics throughout Southern California. According to members of the production staff, the play will meet with the approval of the University students, as it is declared the type of production which appeals to the tastes of college audiences. When the play first appeared in the East, it was declared to be one of the greatest drawing cards that has ever appeared in the metropolitan city of New York. Art Syvertson, president of the Junior class, urges all Junior students to appear for the tryouts, as no one is yet assured of a part in the play. The date of the performance is February 26. W. A. A. MEETING The W. A. A. executive meeting was held yesterday noon in the women’s gym. The meeting was mainly taken up with discussion of the interclass swimming meet which is to take place on the twentieth of this month. The place for the meet has not been assigned. It was also decided to have the sorority basketball games after the beginning of the second semester. Stanford University’s varsity debating team will be seen in action against the University of Southern California next month in a dual debate, according to the announcement yesterday of Sam Gates, debate manager. The two universities have been scheduled to meet each other in forensic competition on February IS. The question which has been selected as the subject of the debate is: “Resolved, That Young America’s freedom of assertion in thought and action is detrimental to society.” The debate will be held at both Los Angeles and Palo Alto. Manual Ruiz and Stanley Hopper will uphold the affirmative side of the question for Southern California in Bovard Auditorium, while at the same time Art Syvertson and Sam Gates will defend the negative against the Stanford debators up North. The nature of the question picked for this debate promises to make the contest one of the most popular and interesting of recent years. The matter which will ot vmuer discussion on the night of February 14 is one which has been agitating people in every walk of life all over the country. When ‘‘Young America’s freedom of assertion in thought and action” is made a subject of a debate, those who have had any experience with college debates will look for some torrid arguments pver such characteristic institutions of young Americans as petting parties, evening automobile rides, walks in the moonlight, the drinking Continued on Page Four) THESES OUTLINE DUE AT THE END OF PRESENT WEEK Candidates for Degrees in the Graduate School Must Hand in Theses by February 21. “'Candidates for Masters’ degrees in February, 1926, must hand in their theses to the Graduate School office not later than February 21, and candidates for this degree in June must turn in the thesis outline before the end of this week.” This wras the statement issued by Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt, Dean of the Graduate School, yesterday. Rules governing the theses, as set forth by Dr. Hunt, are that those due in February must be in final form, fully approved, and ready for binding before they are turned in. A regulation set forth in the Graduate Bulletin, applying to the June candidates, follows: “Not, later than one month after the approval of his thesis title, the candidate shall present to a special committee a written report as to the method of treatment, scope, bibliography, and proposed sources of information and special facilities in the university.” Each thesis is to be supervised by a special committee of three, of which (Continued on Page i) WARMER WAMPUS WALKS TODAY ON WILD, WET CAMPUS Advertising Number Features Hosiery Displays a la Coles Phillips Amid Hot Dialogue. BY TERREL DELAPP There may be no Santa Claus and this idea of Adam and Eve can come in for investigation a lot longer before the rabble will place bets on it; but nevertheless Grady Setzler comes out flatfooted (naturally) and an-nounces that his Wampus is romping across the campus carrying the hottest cover that was ever passed by Mack Sennett. Art in this morning’s issue is high. In fact, Grady states that he wouldn’t trade his art staff for the cracked ice concession in Hades. Pictures ranging from a mother changing her young hopeful’s personal belongings to a man shopper buying unmentionables hold forth between the covers. Martin Luther never included any of the Wampus jokes in any of his sermons or papers; but they can be spilled at most any “bull session” without blushes resulting. Of tourse, * there are exceptions; but then the Wampus is the Wampus, and not a reprint of a tent meeting advertisement. This last number of the Wampus gets by under the name of an Advertising Number; but it is more than the writer can see where anything gets advertised excepting silk hoseiry and yet more. However, maybe that was the ad. It’s a good bet that it was. Grady and his staff of ‘‘dirt-dispens-ers” put in their Happy New Year and otherwise Merry Christmas laboring over the destinies of today’s number, according to Grady himself. The New Year “Spirit” pervades, it must be admitted. PETITION FOR DEAN OF MEN Cameron Appoints Williamson and Elwood on Committee to Approach President. COMES TO CLOSE Famous Speakers Address Forum of Three Hundred College Men. Featured by addresses upon inspirational subjects by such nationally known speakers as Kirby Page, Thomas W. Graham, and J. Stitt Wilson, the Asilomar Conference, attended by 300 representatives from the universities and colleges of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Hawaii came to a close on Jan. 4, after a session lasting ten days. Features of the conference were open forum discussions of personal, campus, and world problems, and the discussions of the small groups. These discussions took place in the mornings. Noons were spent in golfing automobiling, and visiting the places of historical interest. A stunt night was held at which Southern California took second place with a take-off on the activities at Asilomar. Bill Delphy was chairman of the Southern California “Stunt Program.” S. C. also won the baseball championship. Bob Kerr, of S. B. U. C., and How ard Hoff, of La Verne College were elected to head the Southern California district on the Field Council. They will plan Asilomar activities for next year.

NOTICE held in the rooms in which the classes recite. Examinations will be held at 10:15 A. Is S. C. to have a regular Dean of Men? This rumor has started as a result of a committee being appointed at. the recent executive meeting to petition President R. B. vonKleinSmid for such an officer. Hal Williamson and Mike Elwood are the committee members appointed by Don Cameron, student body president. All initiative in this matter haa come from the students and not from the faculty. Many fraternities, it ia stated, are backing the movement. Problems typical for a Dean of Men are now handled by Dr. Karl T. Waugh, Dean of Liberal Arts, by President von KieinSmid, and also by Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, Dean of Women. All mail sent to the Dean of Men is received by Dr. Waugh, who haa attended two conferences of Deans of Men and is secretary of the Pacific Coast Association of Deans of Men. He has the general oversight of men students, fraternity matters, scholarship, sending out of unsatisfactory scholarship notices, confers with parents, and in general acts as a Dean of Men. Technically, however, Dr. Waugh la only Dean of Liberal Arts. “If the question should arise as to the schol* arship of some student in another college,” Dean Waugh said, “I should have no jurisdiction, legally, while a Dean of Men would be strictly within his rights.’ Dean Waugh made the further statement that though his title is Dean of Liberal Arts, three-fourtha of his work is that of a Dean of Men. Practically all state colleges have a Dean of Men. Of the Pacific Coast Universities, however, several Deana of Men are only acting in this cap** city. BOWEN DEBATE DATE ANNOUNCED FOR JANUARY 14 Final Contest Will Be Held With Following Preliminaries; Nine Men to Be Chosen. / Preliminary trouts for the Bowen Cup are to be held one week from Thursday on January 14, in Room H-206, starting at 2:30 o’clock. The final tryouts will be held in Bovard Auditorium one week later. Nine men for the final tryouts will be chosen at the preliminaries next week. At the time of the contest a specific resolution for debate will be chosen from the general topic of “Aviation in the United States,” and will be pre* sented to the contestants two hours before the speeches are to be delivered. The speakers may choose either the affirmative or negative, and after the two hours’ preparation will each be given five minutes in which to deliver their arguments. The Bowen Cup contests are held each year and are a regular part of the forensic activities of the university. The contest is sponsored and cups given by Judge William Bowen, the object being for better men in extemporaneous speaking.

According to Star McKee, president of the “Y’ Council and a former private secretary to Mr. Page, the noted authority is a man of dynamic personality and widespread knowledge.

Grady and his staff of ‘‘dirt-dispens-ers” put in their Happy New Year and otherwise Merry Christmas laboring over the destinies of today’s number, according to Grady himself. The New Year “Spirit” pervades, it must be admitted. PETITION FOR DEAN OF MEN Cameron Appoints Williamson and Elwood on Committee to Approach President.

This rumor has started as a result of a committee being appointed at. the recent executive meeting to petition President R. B. vonKleinSmid for such an officer. Hal Williamson and Mike Elwood are the committee members appointed by Don Cameron, student body president. All initiative in this matter haa come from the students and not from the faculty. Many fraternities, it ia stated, are backing the movement. Problems typical for a Dean of Men are now handled by Dr. Karl T. Waugh, Dean of Liberal Arts, by President von KieinSmid, and also by Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, Dean of Women. All mail sent to the Dean of Men is received by Dr. Waugh, who haa attended two conferences of Deans of Men and is secretary of the Pacific Coast Association of Deans of Men. He has the general oversight of men students, fraternity matters, scholarship, sending out of unsatisfactory scholarship notices, confers with parents, and in general acts as a Dean of Men. Technically, however, Dr. Waugh la only Dean of Liberal Arts. “If the question should arise as to the schol* arship of some student in another college,” Dean Waugh said, “I should have no jurisdiction, legally, while a Dean of Men would be strictly within his rights.’ Dean Waugh made the further statement that though his title is Dean of Liberal Arts, three-fourtha of his work is that of a Dean of Men. Practically all state colleges have a Dean of Men. Of the Pacific Coast Universities, however, several Deana of Men are only acting in this cap** city.

According to Star McKee, president of the “Y’ Council and a former private secretary to Mr. Page, the noted authority is a man of dynamic personality and widespread knowledge.
