Doctor Boodin of the department gave the principle talk of the meeting. He spoke on the relation of the location of Los Angeles to the rest of the world showing the significance of a great field of philosophy here in Southern California. He stated that the city was located on the thirty-fourth parallel. Picturing a map, he followed it around the world. His imaginary line .passed through what was at one time the ancient city of Carthage, one of the greatest centers of civilization in history. He took the group through Mesopotamia, a center in ancient philosophy. He then continued to the Orient where some of the greatest theories of philosophy have arisen, he stated.

In discussing present day conditions in Turkey Reed says, “those of us who have lived in Smyrna for years feel tht't we have rubbed an Aladdin’s lamp, the changes aie so many and so extraordinary.”
International college is working with the Turks in every way to establish a close understanding with them. President Reed sits on the Smyrna Welfare council organized by the mayor of the city. The couneil (Continued on Page Four)

SENIORS START NEW LAW IDEA
Upper Classmen Subscribe Endowment Fund; Other Classes Follow Suit.
BY FRED CHASE
Souhern California’s first varsity basketball champions of the southern section, led by Captain Jack Bruner, will play Washington, northern section winners, tonight in the first game of the series for the championship of the Pacific Coast Conference. The game is scheduled for eight o’clock, in the Olympic Auditorium.
-if The second game of the series will
be held tomorrow night in the Trojan pavilion. If a third contest is necessary to decide the series, it will be played Thursday night in the Olympic Auditorium.
Captain Bruner, Charlie Bone and Tommy Lewis are entering their last conference series tonight, as all are seniors.
Coach Calland’s squad tied California in percentage when it de-feated Stanford last Wednesday night, but was awarded the sectional title by virtue of an agreement made by athletic managers before the season opened. The agreement provided that in case of a tie, the team which had won the series between the two would be champion.
Admission will be fifty cents to those with student books and one dollar to others. Student books will not be sufficient for admission because this is an extra series, not scheduled at the first of the season.
CANO IS HERO Henry Cano, who took the limelight last week when he ran wild against Stanford‘and was high point man, may break into the starting lineup for the contest tonight, although Coach Calland has not made any such announcement yet Cano rang up 16 points against the Cards. He has the best natural basket-shooting ability on the squad, it has been said, but in games prior to his scoring spree against Stanford he has failed to tive up to his promise as an all-state forward on the state championship Fresno High School team.
Captain Bruner is much improved, getting stronger every day. He has been suffering from tonsilitis all season, and this prob-(Continued on Page Three)
Students Needed For Employment
Applications for summer work may be made out about the first of May, according to information received from the employment bureau.
Places will be offered to students at the various downtown stores to fill in for regular clerks going on vacations. Many of the summer resorts in California have asked for college students to work in hotels.
Southern California sends a great number of students out into these various fields every summer, states Allen Behrendt, in charge of the bureau.
WHITMAN GRADES BRING MUCH GRIEF
Whitman college, Walla Walla, Wash. Mar. 3—Mid-term grades are out now. Many students are bemoaning the fact that they will have to study hard and make up for that flunk. It will be much harder to study too since the spring weather has begun. There is a song or poem that goes like this, “In spring time —”, so if the quarter grades are poor we can blame it on to this verse.
It is sad that the grades were fairly good but not up to those of last winter mid-term. It was said that the examinations were much harder than they had been thus making the averages lower. Only 19 new names appeared on the probation list for this term.
What is believed will become a permanent tradition was established this year by the senior class of the Law School when it subscribed approximately $4000 to a special law school endowment fund. Both the junior and freshman classes followed the example of the seniors and subscribed $2000 and $3000 respectively.
Payment is to be made over a period of five years, beginning during the year following graduation. The $9000 total will be kept in trust in a fund entirely separate from the general university endowment fund. Law School students have signed pledges which state that the money is to be used for the Law School alone. The principal will be kept intact and the interest alone will be used to further the needs of the Law School.
Present plans for the Law School include the establishment of a legal clinic for the poor next year. This will be similar to those established now at Harvard, Michigan and a few other law schools. Professorships and fellowships for research work in many legal fields are also plannecT. These research professorships will be providedl as soon as endowment funds warrant.
Most Law Schools in the east have already established endowment funds to promote legal research work and study. The tradition of having graduating seniors subscribe to these funds is prevalent in most of them. When present plans are completed, the S. C. Law School will rank with the few great law schools which are heavily endowed and are progressing by using endowments as a major source of income.
The exact purposes for which the fund will be used depend upon th< decision of a permanent committee which will act as its trustee. This committee is composed of the dean of the Law School; a faculty member elected by a majority vote of the Law School faculty; the presl dent of the University; the president of the S. C. Law School Alumni Association; and the president of the Law School student body.
LIBRARY WORKERS VISIT S. C. CAMPUS
C. F. Woods, librarian of the Riverside public library, was a guest on the Trojan campus Thursday, accompanied by five students from the Riverside public library training school. They visited the campus libraries of the University of Southern California, to study the organization and methods of the libraries at S. C.
Th group was entertained for lunch at the Women’s Residence Hall, 666 W. 36th St., with Miss Charlotte Brown, head librarian at Southern California, acting as hostess.
Student visitors from Riverside included Lois Bunton, Mrs. Alice Mathers. Frances Taylor, Edith Webster and Eleanor Wilson.
PRACTICE COURT CLOSES SESSION
Final work in the senior practice court will be completed tomorrow, March 6. Two cases are on the calendar, both of which promise to be exciting. The cases will be tried at 7:00 p. m. in rooms 300-302 in the Law building.
A murder trial will be prosecuted by Victor R. Hansen, and N. C. Bleecke. The case is that of Herman Berry, who is charged with the murder of Chester Arthur. The murder resulted of robbery, and the trial consequently promises to be in-ertesting and exciting. Ranney Dra per, president of the Law student body, and C. D. Smith will be the defendant’s attorneys.
The second case is a civil jury one. The plaintiff sues for damages and an injunction restraining the defendant from diverting water upon his lots. The case is of interest because a similar one was recently tried in the L. A. Superior Court. The plaintiff’s attorneys wil be William Berger, president of the senior class, and Stewart Fischer. Leslie Gummins and Burdette Daniels will uphold the defendant’s cause.
The judges for these two cases will be James H. Pope, of the L. A. Municipal Court, and Thomas L. Ambrose. justice Pope formerly taught criminal procedure in the S. C. Law school. Justice Ambrose is a judge of the Municipal Court also, but is now sitting as a Superior Court, judge.
