HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SEE TROJAN SKIT
Deputations Cast To Next Give Skit At Long Beach, Thursday.
Judged by the tumultuous applause that greeted the presentation of the Deputations Skit Friday at San Fernando High School, the program Was nndoubtedly successful, according to Sam Gates, chairman of the committee.
Appreciation of the program was shown by the faculty of the high M-hool when they allowed the cast iorty-five minutes in which to present their numbers.
The cast, after rehearsing in Bovard Auditorium for final directions, left in automobiles provided by two me mbers of the cast and Paul Wood, the new member of the committee, at 12:00, arriving in San Fernando a half hour before the presentation was scheduled.
*‘A great deal of credit should be given to the members of this cast,” paid Sam Gates, “for. in doing this work of representing the University before the high schools, they miss class work which it is almost impossible for them to make up.”
Thursday the cast will journey to Long Beach to present before the high school there the entire program. Two presentations will be given there, due to the large number of students enrolled in the high school.

S. C. Professors Well Entertained in Korea
Recent news from the Orient states that just before leaving Korea, Dr. Hunt gave an address on the subject of “Modern Youth” before a large audience in Ihe Y. M. C. A. at Seoul. While in Korea both Dr. Hill and Dr. Hunt have been the guests of Dr. C. K. Hahn, former grauate student of S. C., and now professor in the Christian College at Korea.
From Korea they journeyed to Peking, China, where they spent several days, although it was thought that the recent revolution would make it impossible for them to see all that they had planned. From China they went to India, where they have spent the month of February in traveling about to the various points of interest.
At present, news of what they have experienced in India and where they expect to go has not been received, due to some irregularities in the itinerary.

To Hold Open Meeting Of Spanish Society On Thursday Eve., Mar. 3
La Tertulia, Spanish society, will have an open meeting Thursday night at 7:30 at the Phi Kappa Tau house, 2809 South Hoover street. Everyone interested in Spanish invited to attend.
A program, in which both students and professors will “perform,” will follow the short business meeting.
We have it in mind to make a suggestion here that is almost certain to be misinterpreted. It concerns the Wampus and in view of the personalities of some weeks ago will undoubtedly be thought to have a personal background. W ell, we take that chance. Frequently the only way to bring about thought on important questions is by running the gauntlet of those who insist upon making you say things you never said. So here we go.
*	* *
The proposal was made last year to change the contents of the Wampus so that it should be a magazine truly reflecting all phases of campus life rather than strictly a humor publication. We have reviewed a number of college humor publications and from them we have come to this impression. It is almost impossible to fill the entire publication with humor that is really funny and worthy of a university enterprise. This is not meant as a slam at Milton, for as far as we can see his publication is up to standard. But it is meant to say that a monthly magazine that is limited to material of the naure of the stuff in the present Wamp is usually good “in spots”.
#	* *
1 he proposal to be considered is that the Wampus be made a publication which should have a place for literature, art, pictures, and drama sections and the like as well as humor. Keep the latter element but allow it just the space that it can fill without running into the ground. This would be a really representative magazine and one that would be a credit to everj- phase of campus life and one that would not force the editor to print alleged humor to fill up space which really does not “fill the bill”.
*	* *
The Wampus people themselves were quite interested in this idea last year, but the thing died a natural death when the word got out that it might interfere with “The Southern California Alumni Review.” The objection was not. it is seen, to the idea of such a Wampus but rather to a possible conflict with another publication. We mentioned this to Dr. von KieinSmid the other day. At that time he said that he could see no reason why such a change in the Wampus could not be made and gave it as his opinion tha%t it would be an improvement upon the present one. Yesterday he specifically stated that he could see no objectionable conflict with the alumni monthly. The way seems to be clear enough.

Regarding the honor spirit agitation which seems to have died a natural death. We have noted in recent issues of two university papers, where “honor systems” are in force, complaints against the narrow interpretation of the systems. In one case it was an editorial deploring the (Continued on Page Three)

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS ARRANGE PEPPY PROGRAMS
“Famous Class of 1927” Plans Rallies and Dances For Spring Social Season.
For the purpose of arranging the final details of this semester’s entertainment program, the sophomore Cabinet will meet at 12:15 this afternoon in the Touchstone Theatre.
Plans for the programs of dances and rallies will receive final discussion at this time. April 8 and Friday, May 13, are the two dates set for the sophomore hops. The latter dance will bear out the superstition motif implied by its date.
Bob Behlow, class treasurer, will present a tentative budget for the two dances. According to Gwynn Wilson, student manager, the sophomore class leads all others on the campus in financial condition.
Charles Wright stated that with $100 in the sophomore class treasury, with the best possible dates selected for two sport dances, and with the Administration’s favorable action on monthly class rallies, there is no reason why the “Famous Class of 1929” cannot build around its assemblies and social functions the finest of university spirit and fellowship. It shall be the object of the class cabinet to put on “pep programs” at fixed intervals and in this way try to equal and exceed the class rivalries which exist in other colleges and universities in the United States.

ARRANGE LECTURES FOR SOCIOLOGISTS
Class in Social Work Hears Social Service Workers From Various Groups.
Lectures by representative social service workers from various organizations have been arranged for by Dr. E. F. Young for his sociology class in “Special Problems in Social Work,” in order to connect the class work more closely with practical affairs. One such lecture is given each week.
Three speakers have already addressed'the class. These are Father Robert E. Lucey, of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Ajnerican Association of Social Workers; R. R. Miller, second assistant superintendent of Charities of Los Angeles county; and Neil Alexander, of the Community Welfare Federation.
Others who have consented to come are G. Bromley Oxnam, of the City Parish; I Irving Lipsitch, executive director of the Federation of Jewish Welfare Organization; Amy S. Braden, of the State Department of Public Welfare at Sacramento; Dorothy E. Wy-sor, of the Travelers’ Aid Society: and Edith V. Burleigh, of the Child Guidance Clfnic.
Red” Dales, presiefcnt of the Trojan Knight*, stated that the Administration has given full authority for the Knights to give tags to student violators and that the second offense will mean absolute suspension. The fength of suspension will depend upon the circumstances of the of-fense.
This action has come as the result of numerous complaints from the general public and the students themselves. Fire plugs, red zone*, and driveways have meant nothing to the students in the past, and rather than leave tne matter in the hands of the University police, the Trojan Knights, backed by the administration. have signified their willingness to cope with the situation.	,
Beginning this morning, all campus streets will be patrolfed and all cars parking double or violating any other city ordinance will be tagged by a Knight The first tag may be taken as a warning, but the second will be a summons before an Administration committee for punishment.
Southern California students have been given a square deal on the traffic proposition, both from city officials and the University, stated Dales, and failure to cooperate in the future will bring a severe penalty.
