VOL. XVII.
A HE Lookout points with pride **to the remains of the “Meat Market the stupendous edifice that once faced the Administration building. For the past three months we have taken our little “digs’ at the age old building and we were finally rewarded yesterday morning when a group of men were busy dismanteling the building.
With the removal of the frame building ,other property owners along University avenue should sit up and take a little notice. Whatever they can do to beautify the campus is appreciated. In removing the “Meat Market” the dignity of a college campus will be upheld and it is with the hopes that other property owners profit by the removal of that building that they either remove other shacks in the neighborhood or remodel their present structures • • •
In the beautifying the campus program of thc Daily Trojan as mounced sometime ago we suggested that along with thc removal 0f the “Meat Market there should mlso be undertaken the removal of telephone and electrical wiring and to substitute the underground cobles. The entanglement of wires does not add any beauty to the grounds, so it nnll be with patience that thc student body will have to sit back and wait for the removal €>f tke 7vire net-work.
♦ ♦ ♦
THAT a B°od deal of interest is be Ing manifested by organizations on the Student Union is shown by the fact that many of the professional groups have come to the student union committee with requests for the reservation of space in the building.
Now that the Proposition regarding the assessment has been passed by the student body at its recent election, there should not be any opposition from the administration or the board of trustees. It is by the latter two organizations that the plan must be approved before the student union becomes a reality.
Tke evident need for thc building goes zvitkout saying. As the situation stands at present the “Battleship' as the present student building u called is nothing but a disgrace to the university. Therefore
tf tke students feel that they can Promote and arc willing to aid in the construction of such a worthy structure there should be no opposition to their plans.

kp HE Dental students are promoting IX a gigantic party for a most worthy Iharacter, Wednesday when the entire :hool will play host to Captain Clar-|nce Bud Houser of the Track Team, Hympic champion and President of ie Senior class at the Dental College.
“Bud” has proven to be the outstanding frgure in Southern California sports for the past three seasons. His sportsmanship has made him a guiding character to hi* classamtes and it is only natural that the entire student body of the Dental school should turn lout en masse to honor so notable man.
Ilis zvork at Southern California ill long be remembered aud his j lotting spirit will guide the future I uk and field destinies of the Uni- I \rsHy.

UNION PLANS TO BE DRAWN BY STUDENTS
All Students are asked to Turn in Suggestions for New Union Building.
Student Union plans have not yet been formulated, but are in the making and suggestions are welcome from anyone connected with the university. The heads of all campus departments who wish to have a space in the Student Union building should make this known to Mike Elwood at the Trojan office
The resolution which was passed at the last student, body election and showed that the students want a Student Union must be made into a petition and presented to the president. The president in turn passes it on to the board of trustees who have the final word Should the board pass the petition, a committee of three students, three alumni and three mem- [ bers of the administration will make up the student union committee, On their shoulders will rest the responsibility of making a successful Student Union building.
The plans for the union cannot be made until all departments have made their applications and will not be made until more suggestions are turned in by the students. Some co-operation by the members of the student body of the mniversity will be necessary to insure a perfect union.
Some letters have been sent in to the Trojan with the idea in mind that the plans have already been drawn. They are not drawn and will not be until more good ideas are ent in so that there will be something to work with. In the union building will be offices of all student publications, eating rooms, athletic offices, billiard rooms, a book store and business offices.
Those on the campus who have attended other universities that have a student union are asked to take special pains'to send in ideas for the Southern California Student Union.

TROJAN SQUIRES SELECTED TODAY
Trojan Knights Will Choose Thirty-three Squires from Per-sonel Applications.
That the Trojan Squires for 1926-1927 would be picked today in Hoose 206 was the announcement made by Burke Long, president of the Trojan Knights.
Petitions may be obtained anytime today in the Bookstore, but must be turned in by the applicant ,in person, to the committee of five Trojan Knights between three and five o’clock this afternoon.
There will be thirty-three Squires picked from the present Freshman Class. Of this group five will be from Junior Dental, five from Pharmacy, three from Architecture, and twenty from the olher colleges. It will be noted that all of the applicants must appear before the committee, including those from Dentistry and Pharmacy.
After all of the Squires are picked each of tho four groups will choose a chief to be known as a vice-president. The four vice-presidents, together with the president, who will be chosen by the Knights, will constitute an executive committee, which will be the governing body of the organization.
Contrary to popular opinion the Squires are not a “pledge” organization of the Knights. The fact that a man has been a Squire will, in no way, affect his election to the Knights.
The Trojan Squires is an honorary organization composed of Sophomore men. Its duty is to uphold the traditions of the University, especially with the Freshman men.
Burke Long also announces that the new Knights will be initiated Wed-| nesday afternoon at four o’clock at the . Delta Mu Phi House, and the officers | of the Knights would be installed at a j banquet to be held the same evening at the Bull Pen Inn.
