TROJANS TRIM H. A. C. 51-17 IN BASET CLASH
Showing a complete reversal of form the Trojans defeated the Hollywood A. C. 51 to 17 last night in the basketball pavilion.
Capt. Jack Bruner and Jess Mortenson tied for high point honors with thirteen points each. Mil-linard was high for Hollywood with five digits.
Led by Tommy Lewis the Trojan defense consistently halted the H. A. C. attack. In justice to the culbtes it must be said that they were without the services of Chuck Kearney, their star forward and Gene Dorsey, guard. George, the other forward, played with a sprained wrist.
In-
alumni in Los Angeles include Donald Parkinson, university architect who designed the Student Union, Bridge Hall and other buildings; Sumner S. Spaulding, prominent architect who is making the plans for the new $150,000 Sigma Tau fraternity house: and Calrton Winslow, who has charge of the California mission restoration.
The Union Oil Company has just announced the awarding of a $1000 prive to Lyle Wheeler a member of the fraternity, for designing the best service station in a nationwide contest held recently. Wheeler attended Southern California two years ago.
The service station contest was conducted to obtain plans for a model station that would harmonize with ali types of buildings in all sections.' Often a station which will blend well with buildings in one district will be a distinct contrast in another.
Wheeler's design was selected by the judges because of its all-rouni usefulness and because of its unusual architectural features not ordinarily found in service stations. It is of distinctly modernistic design and Is featured at night by its unique lighting scheme. Union Oil officials are very pleased with the new station design and plan to incorporate it in all of their nem stations.
Salvation Army chanced to hear the Smith lad singing in a gipsy camp. The astute old General at once recognized the boy had a voice like a lark His gipsy parents had named him Rodney. He was converted to Christianity through General Booth. . It was the General who substituted “Gipsy’’ for “Rodney”. At once this 14 year old lad began singing in the Salvation Army meetings and soon, acording to the Army’s custom of conducting its meetings, the dark skinned gipsy boy was “giving his testimony" And by the time he was sixteen, he had become a full-fledged preacher.
For 50 years he has been singing and preaching around the wrorld. His face and voice are probably familiar to more people than that of any other living man, for he has addressed more (Continued on Page Four)
THREE WOMEN’S GROUPS OCCUPY ROOM IN UNION
RADIO ARTISTS SWAMPED WITH MANY REQUESTS
Due to a shift in the program schedule of the National Broadcasting company the Southern California program which is presented weekly over KFI was given last night instead of Thursday evening. Starting with this handicap the program turned out to be well received. Jack Payne, director of Radio Publicity said, “There were more requests received last night, and more congratulations than there has been for any program this year.”
The program was the second popular request program that has been broadcasted this season. It is the intention of the department to give popular program quite often in the near future. The program next week will feature the various musical organiza-toins of the University.
The main feature of the program was Hal Grayson’s Trojan orchestra. They offered many numbers and received requests many of which they were unable to grant due to the 77m-ited time. Grayson wishes to say that the requests that they were unable to give will be played the next time that the band is on the air. Carroll “Tiny” Sandholt, who was accompanied by Pauline Mather, sang several enjoyable songs. During the intermission “Bud” Pentz, the melody hound of the “ivories” gave a num-

Within a week, it is hoped, work will be completed on the Torch and Tassel petition which is to be sent to Mortar Board, national honorary senior society. To become a member of Mortar Board is the highest honor which can be conferred upon a woman student.
The petition includes the history of Torch and Tassel, the history of Southern California, pictures of the campus and of the members of Torch and Tassel.
Recognition of S. C. last year by the American Association of University Women will help materially in gain-ng recognition by Mortar Board, as will the many new buildings which art beginning to adorn the S. C. campus.

.Among many housing problems to be solved by the recent opening of the new Student Union building, is that of the Panhellenic Association, according to Mis Josephine Campbell, president of that organization.
One of the larger offices will be furnished with three desks; one for the Women’s Athletic Association, one for the Woman’s Self-Government Association and one for the Panhellenic Council. All plans for inter-sorority affairs will be handled through thin office.
Many ideas were adopted by Panhellenic at the last meeting, for use ber of pieces on the Knabe. in the near future. Foremost among these, is the plan for the establishment of a Panhellenic library, which is to contain all the news and litera ture of the fraternal organizations on the campus, as well as national news and publications. A separate journal of Panhellenic activities is also to shortly make an appearance.
The same meeting saw the adoption of a resolution to the effet that sororities shall no longer allow their pledges to sell the Wampus. The sale of the famous cat will henceforward be in the charge of other hands.
Most constructive of the various measures introduced was that in reference to the awarding of a Panhellenic scholarship cup, which will be a permanent trophy to the sorority on the campus, the general scholarship of whose members is most worthy of such a reward.
Miss Campbell also stated that sorority rushing for the comlrg term, will be conducted after the same manner as at the beginning of this term, with the exception of the issuance of date cards and the holding of tbe Sunday tea. This system has been thoroughly successful in the opinions of the girls, and is therefore approved by them. Moreover, Dean Crawford’s report for the affairs of this term, is particularly saUsfactory. so that President von KieinSmid highly re-1

L.L.D. AWARDED TO DR. CARVER
Alumnus of Southern California Commends Endowment Drive in Address To Assembly.
Doctor Thomas Nixon Carver, the distinguished alumnus of Southern California and principal speaker at the special asembly held yesterday morning, was presented with the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by President Rufus B. von KieinSmid through the unanimous vote of both faculty and directors of the University.
Speaking on the subject that he is noted for, economics, Dr. Carver touched on vital topics of the day. In his talk he mentioned the fact that professors also received fan letters. One in particular he made mention of, concerning the development of our nations wealth and possibility of a revolution between Labor and Capital. He remarked, “It is a known fact that in countries where there is a high degree of capitalism, such as in our own, revoluUons are an unheard of incident, while in other countries where socialism is more predominant the physical strife of the two factions is more common.”

First Drama Shop W. u. u. A. PLANS
The Touchstone Drama Shop sent a play to Manual Arts high school last week .for their homecoming celebration. The play produced was “Travelers’ ’by Booth Tarkington.. The cast included Walter Outler, Gloria Gotts-chalk, Fred Phleger, Elinor Moronde Claire Aderer, Jarry Thornton, and Lorena Wister. Lucille Black w-as the property mistress.
This was the first play sent out by the Drama Shop. It was received with such favor that the Drama Shop intends to send out more next semester to the various high schools and clubs in the city. The big reason for this, from a statement made by Elizabeth Raede, president of the Drama Shop, is to advertise not only the Drama Shop and the School of Speech but also the dramatic side of the university, in order that incoming students will not hesitate to enter into dramatic interests.

The group meeting today is approximately one-fourth of the entire committee as planned by Morgan Cox, organization chairman.
The thirteen members of the general committee, the four division managers, the sixteen majors, and the eighty captains will be present today. When the final mem-bers are appointed to their respective tasks the total number will be 590.
Three matters of business will come before the committee which meets today. General plans for the drive, which opens next Tuesday, will be outlined to the members.

ENTIRE ORGANIZATION When the final organization of the student endowment campaign committee is crnntrtete, the membership will total 500. It will be composed of representatives from every college in the university. The basis for choosing them included their capacity for hard work, their capability, ability ami willingness to co-operate.
Four divisions will make up this group of 500 students. A manage** will be at the head of each division. Directly under the manager will be four majors, whom he will direct.
