Southern California Basketball Team Leaves Tonight For Berkeley in an Endeavor to Win First Series of Pacific Coast Conference Games.
Fifteen Trojan basketball players and their keepers start out tonight on the Padre bent on winning for Southern California its first Pacific Coast Conference series, and, beyond that, its first conference championship. The men tackle the Golden Bears in their own lair to finish the three game series started here last Saturday nipht when Troy took the first court battle from California to the tune of 43 to 31. It was the first win over the Bears in three years.
If Coach Calland's charges can con-4'-qutr California, the other six conference games should be comparatively easy sailing. The Bears have taken ihe conference championship for the last four years, and have three letter men back from last year’s squad. They were delayed in practice this year by I the late football season, four of the j first five hoopmen being unable to report until after Christmas for basket- i ball. The game Saturday was their ihird game of the season, whHe it was j S. C.’s eleventh.

There are still a large number of proofs and pictures that have not been called for at the Witzel Studio in the basemfnt of the Men’s dorm. These must be called for and final arrangements made immediately as the studio leaves the campus a week from Friday. It is hoped that all seniors will co-operate in this in order to make the Senior section of KI Rodeo a success. According to Dave Bryant, editor ot' the annual, this work cannot be done ef ficiently if full co-operation is not given by the students.

Campus organizations are closely competing in the race to obtain the three loving cups offered in connection with the student endowment drive which closes today.
For the purpose of the contest, all campus organizations have been divided into three classifications. The first group consists of social and professional fraternities, the Men’s Dormitory and the Y. M. C. A.: the second consists of social and profession al sororities, the Women’s Residence Hall and the Y. W. C. A.; and the third consists of all other campus or-ganiiations. In each group, the organization whose members make the highest average contribution per member, will be awarded a loving cup.
ward the building of the library.
The amounts for which the subscriptions are mad ewill not be the determining factor in the awarding of the scrolls.
Josephine Campbell, president of the Panhellenic Council, stated yesterday that all social sororities were seeking the cup offered to members of their group, and that the presidents of many sororities had expressed to her the determination of their houses to secure the cup. A similar statement concerning the fraternities was made by Eddie Oudermuellen, president of the Inter-fraternity Council. Although it was impossible to get in touch with the leaders of other interested groups last night, an unof-

Music School To Offer Course in Conducting
In addition to regular courses in orchestra and choral conducting and community music under the direction of Alexander Stewart, the University of Southern California College of Music will offer instruction in church music and choir conducting with Mr. Stewart during the semester beginning in February.
Choir leaders and church soloists not regularly enrolled as students in the College of Music, who are qualified for this work, may avail them selves of this course upon application to the asistant registrar at 2601 So. Grand Ave.
Included in this course are technic of directing congregational and assembly singing; great hymns of the church studied historically and from the standpoint of interpretation; se-
year’s total will be almost twice the number that received master degrees last year, which was 134.
“The increased number of master degrees is due to many causes,” commented Dean Hunt “The important factors are the popular recognition of the achievement, increased value of the degree, and general demand for higher education. It is also a fact that students are taking up the graduate studies to orepare for professorship and teaching professions more than in the past.”
Last year only one Ph.D. degree was conferred. According to the office, many will be eligible for the title this year. At the meeting of the Graduate Council, composed of the various Deans, held last Friday in Hoose Hall, several candidates were considered but final announcement is being withheld for the pres-ent.

REDOUBLE EFFORTS At the luncheon yesterday noon, members of the campaign organization were urged by General Chairman Paul Elmquist to redouble their efforts in connection with the drive. He pointed out that every cent of the $150,000 which is the goal of the student drive, must be raised by this evening, and that only a little more
than one-third of the goial had
i* j been attained in half the time allotted to the drive.
Dr. Elmer Fagan, popular professor, addressed the students and complimented them on the choice of a library as their goal. “The University of Southern California is known throughout the land in an athletic way; when 1 this drive is finished and the library built, it will be known for its academic standing,” said Dr. Fagan. Recalling the fine library at the University of Oklahoma, where he used to teach. Prof. Fagan said that there was nothing of greater import?nce to an educational institution than the building which houses its books. “In future years,” said Dr. Fagan, “you and all the others who contribute to the library- fund, can point with pride to the beautiful library building which is the objective of the drive, and say, ‘I helped to build that.’ There is a greater amount of personal satisfaction to be derived from contributing to a project of this sort, where the results are tangible, than there is in giving to any other kind of a cause.”
