STUDENT DRIVE NEEDS $15,000 FOR LIBRARY
One Thousand More Subscriptions Will Finish $150,000 Quota; Architecture, Commerce, and Law Have Highest Percentage.
Fifteen thousand dollars remain to be raised in the student endowment campaign for $150,000 with which to build a new library, it was announced yesterday by William Henley, student-body president, at a special committee luncheon in Aeneas Hall.
"More than 1000 students have not*-—--
yet subscribed,” said Henley. “It is
bad psychology, from the standpoint of the $10,000,000 campaign, not to have the student drive ‘go over’ successfully. If ev'ry student gives something—as much as he can— the future growth of the university is assured. The success of the entir% campaign for a greater University of Southern California depends upon the outcome of the student drive. It has been said that the Trojans never start anything which they are unable to finish. Let this most vital matter be no exception to the rule."
Harry Silke, former student body president representing the alumni in connection with the student drive, called attention to the fact that the senior class at Law had recently raised $4500 to go toward the library fund, an average subscription of more than $60. To date, the following percentages of the student-bodies of the various campus schools and colleges, have subscribed to the endowment fund: Liberal Arts, 65; Commerce, 85; Architecture, 88; Pharmacy. 60; Engineering, 70; Music. 50; Graduate, 54.
From the above list, it will be seen that Architecture leads with 88 per cent of its students as subscribers; Commerce is a close second with 85 per cent; while Liberal Arts lags far behind with a percentage of 65. Music and the Graduate School are at the bottom of the list with only 50 and 54 per cent respectively, of their students named as subscribers.
Plans were completed at the luncheon yesterday noon for a special organization to see personally all the students who have not yet subscribed to the library fund. Each one of the following people are asked to secure three others and report with them to a special luncheon Friday noon in Aeneas Hall.
Dorotlhie Smith, Doris Crook-John-son, Deke Houlgate, Al Spaeth, Bob Behlow, Eddie Oudermeulen, Malcolm Chambers. Shields Maxwell. Dave Bryant, Don Bailey, Les Kelly, Ed Bowers. Bob Epley and Cliff Twomb-ley. The first eight are to be in charge of IJberal Arts, and are expected to secure people who are acquainted in Liberal Arts for their lieutenants, while the remainder are to have charge of their respective schools.

WAMPUS GETS REPRODUCTIONS IN MAGAZINES
Unusual publicity has been given to the Wampus lately, due to the fact that several reprints of drawings and jokes have appeared in many nationally known magazines.
In the last issue of the College Humor there were seven Wampus drawing and a great many jokes used. Recently the Chaparral asked to be allowed to reprint five sketches, and other college magazines are constantly using Wampus material.
Next Tuesday the February issue of Tommy Wamp will be sold on the campus, and, naturally, it is the best yet.
New students are asked to turn in contributions for the magazine, and if they w'ork consistently enough they may be rewarded by regular positions on the staff. This copy should be turned in to the Wampus office ni the Student Union building or to Mr. Huse’s office in the Arcade of the Administration building.

WAMPUS STAFF TO BE LARGER
Business Manager Needs More Workers; Typist and Shorthand Expert Wanted
Men are wanted for the business staff of the Wampus, 'fhe staff is to be enlarged to three times its present size, Paul Slater, manager, announced today. Men who are willing to wrork earnestly and diligently are asked to apply to Slater in the Wampus office.
The present staff has only four men on it and it is to be increased to fifteen. It is one of the few student activities for which the workers are paid and it offers opportunity for advancement to the advertising and the business managerships of the humor magazines.
‘'It is one of the best opportunities that the university offers for making contacts with the business men of Los Angeles which will be of great value after finishing school.” Slater said to the Trojan.
In addition to the men on the advertising staff, the staff is in need of a girl who types and can take shorthand. It makes no difference as to her class standing, the job is open to freshmen or seniors. She is to be on the regular staff and will receive credit as a staff member.
Men who want to sell Wampuses on the campus next Tuesday are asked to apply to the Wampus office at 217 Student Union.
TECH FIVE TROUNCED BY TROY
Calland's Hopefuls Wallop Engineers 70-21 in Speedy Practice Hoop Tilt.
BY DAVE LICKER
Featuring a slashing offense and a fast passing attack, Coach Leo Calland’s Trojan quintet defeated the basketeers from Caltech 70-21, yesterday afternoon at the S. C. pavilion.
Celebrating the return ot Captain Jack Buner to action, the players bewildered the Caltech men with dazz ling bursts of speed and accurate shooting. Mortensen, McCaslin and Bruner piled up an early lead and gave way to a second team sent in by Calland to finish the half. These three men had an easy time passing through and around the defense of the losers and hit the hoop quite regularly for points. Bruner seemed to purposely slow up after the first J burst of speed and did not try to extend himself during the remainder of his stay in the game.
TWO TIED
Mortensen and McCaslin tied for high point honors with 11 digits apiece. Ferris, second string center made 8 points all by himself to take third high point honors. The second third teams played most of the game, the first string gracing the lineup only for a short time at the beginning of each half.
Early in the > first half, after the nrst five consisting o' Mortensen, McCaslin, Bruner, Lewis and Lehners had placed the Trojans far ahead, Calland sent in a complete new team consisting of Cano and Nibley at the forward births, Ferguson at center, and Thomas and Bone at guards. The Caltech outfit did not fare well against these, also, although they die better than against the first five. Cramer, Cutler and Roche played a consistently good game and succeeded several times in breaking up their opponents plays. Roche, a tall rangy center, who towers over Jack Bruner, is six feet seven inches tall, and used his length and a’rms to get in the way of many of the Cardinal and Gold men’s passes. The half ended with the score 29-8 in favor of the Trojans.
It was in the second half that the morale of the Engineers broke down before the aggressive Trojan third string. The first five started the second half and McCaslin and Mortensen shone with their floor work and basket shooting. Johnny Lehners was a demon on the defense and cam* (Continued on Page Four)

BY EARL CULP Trojan Business Manager
The business staff of the Trojan offers practical opportunities for students interested in this line. The experience and business training that a student obtaines who is on the staff, is invaluable. The experience gained is one of the important inducements to students to try out for the staff. The business training is also a great help in after life.
Men who work on the staff, develop into keen, alert and active business men. These men by their constant connection with prominent business firms and houses in the city become acquainted with prominent business men.
Along the business line members of the staff gain a practical every-day business training, which a man needs in life no matter what his work may be.
Positions on the business staff of the Trojan give students an opportunity to relax from their studies. It is good for a man to combine business training with his theretical developement. In this manner his mind is developed evenly and he gets a practical business training at th“ same time. Wehn h egraduates he is in a position to take his place in the world and also knows some points on business, which he has learned by his position on the busi-nehs staff.
Students who are interested and can give some of their time to obtain this training should get in t#uch immediately with Earl Culp, business manager of the Trojan. Positions are now open to students and to anyone reporting to the business office. By a little work and time one can make money and be engaged in a campus activity at the same time. The Trojan business office is located on the second floor of the Student Union in room number 215 and the office hours are from 1:00 to 3:00 every afternoon.

STUDENT STORE FOUNTAIN TO DO BUSINESS SOON
Feb. 15 is Date Announced For Opening; Efficient Staff Provided.
Students will soon be able to con gregate again at their own fountain between classes and at chapel period as- they did in the days of yore before the old Student Union bui'ding was torn down. In a statement made to the Trojan yesterday, Gwynn Wilson, general manager of the A.
S.	U. S. C. stated that he expected that the new Student Union fountain would be opened on Feb. 15.
The new fountain will be under the management of Jay Lockhat. Mr. Lockhart announces the policy of giving the students the best In food* that money can buy. An 80 foot fountain capable of prducing at least a thousand varieties of drinks will be placed at the service of the thirsty hordes of campusites. This will profc ably be the meeting place for all the “big men about S. C.”
A very complete staff will be provided by the management so that it will be possible to give banquet service for as many as six hundred people. Mr. Lockhart also states that they will do catering for parties given by the various sororities and fraternities. Prices, he states, will be reasonable.	,
The staff will consist of an excellent chef and a lady who will do nothing but take care of tbe sand wiches and salad besides all the assistants, waitresses and bus-boys. Possibly there will also be a hostess and a dietitian.
Later in the year there will be six private dining rooms on the third floor and a grill In the basement which will be under separate management from tbe student fountain. As many part-time students as possible will be employed, says Mr. Laekhart. so that the fountain will be “for. o<, and by the Trojans.’’	:I.» .. ,
