Need for New Building Is Theme for Essays: Problem Vital.
(Ed. Note—This is the first of a series of articles written to assist stu dents anticipating the submission of articles in the recently announced Tro jan essay contest on the needs of the University.)
BY KARMI WYCKOFF
In looking for available material for the essay contest on the university needs from the student point of view, that of the construction of a new library, filled with hundred of new volumes, welj equipped, furnished according to latest modes and modern in every appointment would be without equal in the importance and valm which it would give to the university.
Not because we criticize our present library, not because we.expect to reap meritorious recognition; neither foi the purpose of changing our present rating in the great competition among higher institutions caused by the development and expansion of universities does Southern California need a libray. For none of these is it felt that one of the most outstanding requirements for the balancing of our future development is a new one.
It is for the reason that, with the first fifty years nearly completed in the development of this institution, we face the second part of the centennial which will (Continued on Page Eight)
Rooters Must Wear Clean Shirts And Rooters9 Hats
That no man not wearing a clean white shirt and a rooter’s hat will b -> admitted to the rooting section for tomorrow's game is the announcement of Paul Elmquist, yell king.
“It spoils the appearance of the whole rooting section if a very few soiled shirts are in evidence,” he said. “From the opposite side of the Coliseum the section appears as a single unit, and naturally, any break in the uniformity of that unit detracts from the appearance of the section as a whole.”
Trojan Knights, under the direction of Eddie Oudermeulen, will be present to enforce the ruling.
Football Men Will Be Present
At Gathering.
The men’s football dinner, one of the features of the annual Homecom ing Week, is to be held in the men’s gymnasium at 6:30, today. It is that looked-for event when the “old grads’ and famous gridiron luminaries ol years gone by. mingle with the coaches and the seniors, throw off the cloak of ape. and feel as an undergraduate once more.
The alumni, the coaching staff of both Southern California and Washington, the men of the Senior Class, and the fathers of the men on the football teams will all assemble at this strictly stag affair. Speeches will be given, and reminicences will fly back and forth across the table, as the clouds of smoke rise above this union of the past with the present. It is to obtain a better spirit of co-operation betweer the past and the present of the University that this function is staged.
Councilman Arthur Alber will be toastmaster, and Coach Bagshaw of (Continued on Page Eight)

Huskies Average Over 190 Pounds Per Man.
By BILL HARVEY *
The Washington Huskies, a football team that averages close to 190 pounds to the man, arrives here today, to play the Tiojans for the first time in Southern California territory. Five years ago the Trojans took a jaunt to Seattle, where they were administered a sound 22 to 0 beating on a slow sawdust field.
- FINAL GAME It will be the final game that either team will have this year and it will be the last appearance of tne Trojans before the home folk. That is will be a real game is certain. JBagshaw’s men have lost one contest—to Stanford. The very memory of that game should be enough to send that Huikie team into the fray in a great fighting mood. They will not execute the same plays against the Trojans that they did .against the Cards for if they do, their chances of losing the game are strong. Then the Trojans aren’t exactly feeling in a receptive mood after their much dicused trip to Chicago It wil be a battle of tw teams (Continued on Pagf Four)

strang Wampus creature appears this morning in radiant glory, hiding from the student public its fear of ever producing a better effort. No more will past Wampii appear to haunt the Kat with envious rivalry, for all ghosts of old issues will seek the dust from which they rose, fugitives from the “greatest of them all.”
Latest reports have It that Jem-ina Ralston has fled to sanctuary in a remote insane asylum, since rumors have reached the ears of her enemies as to the astounding revelations contained in the latest installment of “Dumb—Not Really!” that funny tale of campus dirt and the education of an unsophisticated co-ed. Now indeed are the opponents of co-education armed with weapons galore.
Betting odds are five to three that the former head of the school of religion student body will be unable to resist his own suppressed complexes
and the selling blandishments of feminine wiles, and will thus succumb to the extent of a quarter of a dollar expended in the purchase of the Kat.
The odds are ten to one that the selfsame person will write another editorial condemning the policy of a contest between women’s organizations as to which can sell the greatest number of the frolicsome Kat.
