YANKS TAKE OPENER
The Yankees took a 1 to 0 lead over the Pirates in the World's Series, by defeating the National League entrant in the annual classic 5 to 4. A three run rally in the third inning, which was aided by two Pittsburgh errors, brought the victory. The Yanks were forced to rush Wilcie Moore to the box in the seventh to relieve Waite Hoyt. Kramer and Miljus twirled for the Pirates. A second game is scheduled for Forbes Field today.

before, making this the half century mark in the history of the university, classes did not start until October 6, 1880. Forty-seven years of progress, forty-seven years of labor, and forty-seven years of almost unequaled growth arc the a^romr’ishments of the university.
When classes first started on that day in October, 1880, there were only fifty students enrolled in the academic, collegiate, and normal departments. I In these three branches of the university, four professors were to be found. At that time Southern Cali-

DEPOSED STAFF FAILS TO HALT WAMPUS’ DEBUT
Expected.
Wampus will appear on the campus early Wednesday morning, according to Bryant Hale, editor.
Although the entire staff, with the exception of Paul Slater, manager, was tired Monday morning because of tardiness in submitting copy, the first issue of the school year has gone to press. The editor says it will be the “Rest Wampus This Year.”
The cover design by Gertrude Zip-ser is, according to ex-staff members, of as high standard as that of the professional comic magazines. The editor claims that the rest of the material is equally as good, for he says that, although the staff was slow, they showed their old time cleverness and originality.
According to Hale, this Wampus will suit the taste of anyone, containing the usual amount of snappy joke? and cartoons of college men and women doing everything from investigating a textbook to queening, besides serious literary work, and feature articles on subjects pertaining particularly to Trojans.
This Wampus will be an early sell-
hunting, in the grain fields which surrounded the university, was considered I very fine.
Students came to classes by horse and buggy, bicycle, and horse-drawn street cars. There was no pavement, no sidewalks, and no electric lights. At that time Los Angeles was a young frontier town of the west with a population of 11,155. In the entire school system of the town of Los Angeles, there were forty-three school teachers. Education in those days was not compulsory in the grammar and high school grades and most of the boys had to plow in the fields where the Coliseum, Shrine Auditorium and fraternity row now stand.
At that time Southern Californians were rvot called Trojans and such things, as fraternities and sororities were not heard of. There was no hazing of the freshmen, or Trojan Knights and Amazons to keep events interesting. Yell sections were not heard of, since there were no athletic teams.
Today Southern California has arrived! The contrast with the university in its early days of struggle is
LITTLE BEANIE SPELLS HAVOC FOR FRESHMEN
The Squires say, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet,” as they plan to renew the fireworks on the Frosh. The laxity of the youngsters in wearing the beanie, obeying the parking rules, and going to Friday Chapel is going to spell havoc in their lives.
According to Sam Newman, president of the Squires, provisions have been made for a weekly luncheon meeti-ig. The fraternities are being called on to aid the Squires in enforcing the rules and traditions.
A few timely hints to Frosh may keep peace on the campus during the coming week. ’Tis better taste to go without shoes than without a beanie. To have no car is better than to park one in front of the Administration Building. Attendance at Friday Chapel is as imperative as nourishment.

Costume Design is one of the new subjects which is being offered as an upper division course, and is open
to all Liberal Art girls. This course, j ned as js a library, gymnasium, and whch is given by Miss Mary G. In-1 a building for women. The new
ing educational institutions in the country, every phase of the campus, the university, and the spirit of the school has changed. There are now more than 400 professors, as compared to four in the beginning days. Besides the professors there are the doctors and deans who lecture in close to two hundred class rooms. At the present time there are half a dozen halls, and new ones are to be constructed this year. New additions to the Law and Pharmacy buildings are plan-

For the second semester Mi's. Christy plans an interesting course in j the Selection and Preparation of Foods, and one in Nutrition. These ^ will be open to any girl on the j campus, and without a pre-requisite t in Home Economics. This summer Mrs. Christy gave the same course at I Clumbia University. To Physical j Education and Social Welfare majors j in particular, these courses should be, of benefit.
In co-operatrion with the Department of Chemistry, several graduate I students of the Home Economics Department are carrying on some experimental work concerning the val-1 ue and content of various foods. White rats are used in the laboratory work. These rats are of the or-1 iginal stock of those which are used j for the 6ame purpose at Columbia1 University.

Mario Chamlee Was Trojan Student; Metropolitan Star
IjOs Angees, Calif.—Mario Chamlee. whose real name is Archie Cholmondeley, Los Angeles-born tenor of the Metropolitan Opera, was a student at the University of Southern California before he began intensive study for his career. After a critic had advised him to givp up the idea of an operatic career, the late Achille Alberti told him he would be the greatest tenor in the world if he would give up everything else and study. Chamlee agreed, disappeared for some time, and was next heard of at the Metropolitan. From the Metropolitan he proceeded to the concert stage. He is also one of the highest paid record artists.
New Officers are Announced; Petition Sent to National Honorary Fraternity.
Dean Justin Miller of the Law School of the University of Southern California will address the Pre-I>egal Society tonight at 7:30 in Hoose 305 for the event on its program for the second meeting of the year. Professor Long of the Philosophy Department will also speak to the Society, and an interesting evening is promised to all who attend, according to B. Woodard, secretary of the organization.
Officers were elected at the first meeting of the year, which was held several weeks ago. The successful candidates were Carl Fetterly, president; Brooks Thompson, vice-president; B. Woodard .secretary and Lin coin I^aws, sergeant-at-arms. These officers constitute the executive committee of the Society, and take care of all business not handled during regular meeting.
The Pre-Legal Society has prepared an outline of the program to be followed during the year. The plan includes numerous prominent speakers at the bi-monthly meetings, possibly a dance, a banquet, and several other social functions, as well as the annual, concluding banquet of the year. This concluding banquet has always been the most important get-together of the club, for very prominent speakers are secured and so well-planned are the banquets that those that attend do not soon forget them.
The Blackstone. a national honorary pre-legal fraternity, was petitioned by the society last year, and the response has been most favorabe. It is most likely that a chapter will be organized on the campus in the not too far distant future. Among other ' qualifications, applicants for member-' ship must have a B average. Every-1 one interested should come to the meeting of the Society tonight to get the full details. Every pre-lega student is invited to attend the meet-' ing tonight.

the Graduate School, will hold a meeting next week for nomination of officers. The organization, which was formed to promote friendship and more efficient work among the students, plans to take on greater impetus this year.
The summer enrollment was the high water mark for the institution, and was exceeded by only two or three graduate schools in the country.
One significant feature of the fall enrollment is the great number of second and third year graduate students entered. Fourteen have been admitted to candidacy for Ph.D. degrees, the highest academic honor possible to be earned. There has only been one Ph.D. degree granted by the school, and that was awarded Dr. D. W. Le Fevre, a member of the faculty. Work toward this degree is now offered complete in five departments, and full courses in three others will be available soon. The school of education, the largest department, is doing the most graduate I

About five hundred freshmen were present at the frosh rally held at noon. They were instructed in the fine points of cheering, and then were given a chance ta use their voices. ‘ The frosh certainly responded with plenty of pep,” commented Paul Elmquist, cheer leader. Several members of the Sophomore class tried to enter the auditorium during the rally and were bod ily ejected by the alert frosh near the door.
Plans are being formulated by the rally committee to have weekly freshman rallies during the next month. It is the purpose of these rallies to build up the proper Trojan attitude among the frosh and to have them realize a class consciousness and a class spirit. The next rally for the “wearers of the green” will be held Wednesday noon. All freshmen are expected to be present.

training were discussed by Dr. F. C. Eiselen, president of Garret Biblical Institute before the students of the College of teh Pacific recently.
“The aim of education,” said the speaker, “is to fit men and women for an active part in practical life but the emphasis on practical has some real dangers. There is a danger in the modern emphasis of creating a lot of machines and forgetting that firsst emphasis should be placed upon making a real man who can enter into the complex of life and because of a well-rounded personality can make worth-while contributions.”
In discussing what is needed in education, Dr. Eiselen said, “We do not need technically trained doctors, teachers and professional men and women’ although they cannot be overlooked, but a greater need is to have strong, noble, well-rounded men and women who with their technical training can throw personality into their work.”
The sociology department is the next largest section in the graduate schol. Since last year the faculty of the graduate school has been augmented in all departments.
Dean Hunt emphasizes that quality is the goal toward which the postgraduate school is working, and that the enrollment increase will take care of itself. There are now about five large graduate schools on the coast.
The time-limit on applications for tickets for the California game has been extended to this evening, according to Arnold Eddy, assistant manager of the Associated Students. Eddy gave as a reason for the extension of time, the fact that the Student’s Store was unable to accommodate all those desiring to file applications before the closing hour last night.
