CAPTAIN KIDD REJUVENATED AS
CO-EDS PARADE IN PIRATE GARB
BY RITA
Shades of Captain Kidd and the Spanish main! What with old hats piratically turned up in front, unbuckled galoshes flapping in the wind, and collegiate slickers tastefully decorated with skulls and bones, Blackbeard and his cohorts would have felt perfectly at home had they visited the Trojan campus during the recent revival of tbe Great Flood.
The pirate note seems to dominate collegiate fashions in rainy day attire. No matter what the original shape of the hats bought or otherwise acquired by the males of Troy, rainy weather seems to automatically reblock them all, with the front turned
PADWAY
up in the best bucaneer fathion.
But the men aren’t the only ones. The spread of piracy among the wim-men of the campus is alarming. This does not refer to gold-digging tendencies but simply to clothing. Galoshes are becoming increasingly popular, and a slicker with skull and bones design adds the fnishing touch to a perfect costume.
If there is any truth in the numerous theories rampart about subconscious desire9, one naturally wondere whether the piratical tendency in style is an index to the mind of the modern collegiate.
But—do clothes make the pirate?
Holywood shivers and shakes today, for tomorrow its secrets are to be exposed in the Movie Number of Wampus.
The campus monthly has secured all the latest dirt on the world famous movie colony, and is spilling it in lavish quantities on the campus tomorrow. Nothing that should be said will be left unsaid, and if the suspicious actions of the staff members are any criterion much will be said that perhaps should not be said, according to a statement, of Milton Booth, editor.
“Half the writers in Hollywood have sent in the best work of their respective careers, but all this high quality literary material is overshadowed by the pictorial features of the magazine,” states Booth.
The cover presents a torrid scene on a movie lot, and was drawn by the inimitable Don Mike. Inside are dozens of pictures gathered by Bryant Hale in his week in Hollywood.
The cartoonists produced a number of gems to keep company with the professional touch the pictures lend to the magazine.
Adna Leonard reports that he will have a full staff of salesmen on dut>, rain or shine. With the heat of the number well known, it is predicted that after the book has been on the campus for an hour four out of five will have it and the fifth will be on the way home to get the necessary quarter to get it.

Congratulations today are due the seven men who were awarded their varsity sweaters for basketball. The men are Captain Laraneta, Badgro, Bruner, Lewis, Thomas, Hibbs, and Drury. They have fought well for Southern California and they deserve the palm.

It it fitting that some mention be made here of the reception which Morley Drury and the writer were given at the University of California at Los Angeles yesterday noon. Tearing aside the veil of hypocrisy, let’s admit that there was a time when Southern California did not hold “the
\
Southern Branch” in the highest esteem. To be fair with ourselves, there was a time when that institution did not rank as it does rank now. But to continue to regard it in the light of what it once was is to take upon ourselves the attitude which so many students hold against California and Stanford. Southern California did not always hold the place in the sun which we like to think is ours now. But we very much resent any lack of appreciation for the strides we have made and are making.

The cuc, now, is to recognizc in U. C. L. A. a sister institution worthy of our keenest competition, worthy of our rivalry, and worthy, also, of our respect. Twelve national fraternities and a new campus are not going to lessen the attractions of that institution. It won’t be long now until the teams of both universities will be meeting. When that time comcs Southern California will want to meet a rival whose respect she has and who, in turn, respects her.

Yesterday was a bad day for the new reporters who underwent their “baptism of water” into Trojan work. Nevertheless, all but two of the new ones and more than twenty of the old ones were present, on time, at the Cottage Tea Room for the early morning breakfast. That kind of spirit can’t be beaten and it is fair to these people that the campus should know how they respond to such a call with more than half of the year’s work behind them. The novelty of the game has worn off. the honor of having made the staff is far behind most of these people. But they stick, and in some cases it seems as if they work better when the going is tough.

The Trojan is always glad to get a frank expression of student opinion on any subject. We'have at hand a letter from a Chinese student, attempting to answer the questions which his friends have been asking him concerning the situation in his country. The letter is a long one and we cannot run it today or tomorrow. But it may be of interest to run a few of his chief contentions.

TELL OF LIFE IN THE ORIENT
Dr. Hill and Dr. Rockwell, Touring the World, Describe Life in the Orient.
SEOUL, Korea, February 14.— “W'hen in Korea, do as the Koreans do,” was the sentiment carried out by Dr. John Hill and Dr. Rockwell Dennis Hunt, S. C. professors en route around the world, as they ate with chopsticks and sat cross legged at dinner in a typical Korean home.
As another interesting experience while they were in Korea, Dr. Hill and Dr. Hunt were received by the governor and Japanese officials in order to gain a clear understanding of the government.
In a message received here from China, Dr. Hill declared: “Peking is the strangest, most fascinating city I have ever seen. We have been here for six days in both high and low class Chinese homes. The strange, weird temples and streets present oriental life in all its forms, colors, and stages of civilization.”
Dr. Hill and Dr. Hunt are to be in Bombay on February 23, where, as part of their itinerary, they will visit Malabar Hill, the Hanging Gardens, and the Towers of Silence.

The new reporters will go on at once as regular staff members. Any cut of the staff made in the future will not necessarily be of the new members. Rather, changes will be in the entire staff, according to George Jordan, the editor.
The newcomers were given instructions in general matters pertaining
to staff work and in the methods of interviewing. Stress was laid on giving a story its proper feature.
The question of what to put into the paper and what to leave out was discussed by the editor and the point of responsibility for a printed news story was considered.
