KELLY GLAD ■ TO GET BACK
Great Demonstration Monday in His Honor. Hero is Spending a Few Days at Home
BABES MAKE
GOOD SHOWING
Many of the Freshies Will Push the Old Men for Positions on the Varsity
I “Our Hero” is again, safe at home. After much excitement and breathless expectation, the -frantic newspaper reporters and U. S. C. worshipers who had hounded every Overland train in their determination to be first to see the newly famous, were doomed to disappointment. His Nibs, our hero, otherwise known as PFritz” has ideas of his own concerning a home coming and preferred to disembark quietly at Pomona and finish his trip by auto. As a result, there was much tearing of hair and the friends who were planning to weep fondly on his shoulder were compelled to postpone all such demonstrations.
. i Fred Kelly has returned after his trip to make a long story short, and Monday he will register at U. S. C. for his year’s work. At present he is with his father and mother at Orange, telling them some of the exciting things that happened during his sojourn across the Lake. Many and diverse are the experiences of Fritz, and it is concerning these very thrills that he is going to inform our Ignorant brain boxes on Monday when he makes his debut as an orator and story teller.
j Kelly’s words upon arriving in Los 'Angeles were: “The picture in your paper is rotten, but I am proud of being mapped in a DAILY.” Tell all the fellows that I would like to see them. I want to get back to LT. S. C. as soon as possible.” Upon being asked how he felt, he almost shouted, “'Weigh 199, fellows, and never felt so fine in my life!”
Last night Coach Manning worked the Freshman team against a bunch from the upper classmen. Judging from the showing made by those Freshies that will lie a good game Saturday when the ‘‘Babes’’ meet the Rugby squad from L. A. High. And then there’s a bunch of those same Freshies that will keep the old men hustling for the “Varsity.”
Among the men who showed up yesterday were Patterson, Oberg, Haskins, Van Fleet, Meadows, Steed and Secor. The whole bunch was working hard. There ought to be a good bunch out to root for the Freshies Saturday. Remember, it’s the first change to see a football game this year.

Warns Students to Look to Their Diet
AUTOS NEEDED FOR PARADE
, On Monday morning the big celebration for the return of Fred Kelly, our Olympic champion, will take place. Elaborate preparations are made—it is certainly going to be one of the big stunts of the year. “Prexy” has called off all morning recitations after the 8:55 period, which means that we are going to have from 9:50 to 1 :15 to let off our stored up enthusiasm.
The U. S. C. parade will assemble here at 9:50 and meet the “Times” parade at the corner of First and Broadway at 10:00. Starting from there the business section of the town will be covered—big noise and lots of banners1—with an end-up on the bleachers of Bovard Field where the presentation of the big Scholarship and Cups will be made. There *will be many “big guns” to help us Welcome our “little Fritz” back to our midst, but we’ll furnish the “big noise.” Every Monogram man will

In his talk at Wednesday morning Chapel, Dr. Geissinger took occasion to quote the following from the Boston Transcript:
APPROPRIATE DIET Plane food for the aviator,
Game for the baseball fan,
Crabs for the youthful oarsman, Smelts for the mining man.
Hog for the end seat rider,
Soles for the mender of shoes,
For the electrician currants,
'Swallows for those who booze.
For the coward and politicians,
Quail and crow are the birds,
The fool who flies in a passion
Should be made to eat his own word.
For the glovemaker, lady’s fingers; Capers the clown should eat;
For the watchmaker, minute pudding, And for lunatics, cracked wheat.
He emphasized, further, two other point9 of importance to students. They should not forget, he said, that they are training for citizenship. The political issues now being agitated call this fact to our attention.
Another matter of first importance is the religious aspect of a student’s life. “By all means ally yourselves with a church,” said the speaker “This is a downright necessity if you are to become an efficient professional man—it is necessary for yourself and for society. The University Church now offers affiliated membership to students during the school year. It in no way binds a student in a finan-
A very interesting and profitable hour was enjoyed by an present at the Y. VV. C. A. meeting in East Hall Wednesday. After announcements, songs and prayer, Mrs. Allison Gaw, the leader, opened by reading a part o£ the 35th chapter of Exodus which was in keeping with the subject of the hour, for it again reminded tbe listners of how, under the rule of Moses, the children of Israel, “came every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing and they brought the Lord’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation and for all his service.” Mrs. Gaw then told two very interesting and appropriate stories, the moral in each of which was that every person should give willingly and according to his ability toward the carrying on of Christian work; and that everyone should have a share in this great movement.
Then, after the reading of the year’s budget which showed the financial condition of the University association, Miss Dayman lead in raising pledges from the girls for the support of the Y. W. C. A. this year. Many of the girls responded at once, and it is hoped that there may be more subscriptions, as there surely will be, when each girl understands
If I have taken th£ common clay,
And wrought it cunningly In the shape of a god that was digged a clod,
The greater honor to me.”
The Two Potters.
“I need a man who can serve, serving not as a slave with a hope of reward, but as a god who will take no reward.” Thus' spoke our university, and then finished its speaking with the following sentence, “'As you are men, so I am.” How many students heard her, or having heard, understood what she is expecting of them.
She is asking for men who are not dominated by the idea that her purpose in training is to certify to personal culture; not asking if the student is wise, or good, or able to serve, but that he is gentlemanly bred, his education meaning no power for service. She is asking for men who are not imbued with the idea of erudition alone which makes him highly proficient in one line of study while totally ignorant of what life should hold for him.
She is asking for men who can combine both erudition and culture to gain her idea, that “of personal effectiveness.” She is asking for men that are hopeful, for they will be men of action; for men that are loyal, for they will consider her best interests; for men of character, that she may be proud of them; for men that will love her, that she in turn may love them.
Let us therefore serve her in the fullest measure of which we are ca-

We are to bear in mind that the apparatus can in no measure make a university, for you will recall how Mogli and his horde found the deserted palace in the midst of the forest and played at being men, only to make laughable spectacles of themselves. If we try to throw the burden of responsibility on the faculty, we are again in error, and have lost sight of our aim. The faculty, it is true, is the nucleous of the university, and we must depend upon (Continued on Page 2, Column 4)
