President von KieinSmid Gives Address On “Research and Industry.”
Co-ed Lawyers Add To Success Of Law Affairs
Twenty-five Women Enrolled Win Laurels by Activities; Many Social Affairs.
Activity has been the keynote to the success of the women’s part in Law school affairs during the current year, according to Miss Betty Hensel, vice-president of the student body ol' that school. Never before have sd many women participated in the various functions of interest to the student body at large, and many laurels have been theirs, she states.
Though there are at present only twenty-five women enrolled in the College of Law, most of these young ladies hold important student body offices, class offices, or fraternity memberships. These fraternities include two nationals: Kappa Beta Pi, and Alpha chapter vof Phi Delta Delta. The latter organization is the only original chapter among the national fraternal organizations on the campus.
The annual banquet for the School of Law, is being planned for the

"What is this campus coming to?”
Meanwhile the co-eds yawned and asked just what the great difference was since they practically put out the paper anyway, the great change residing only in the fact that there were no useless males to be pushed aside when there was something to be done.
Quite an upheaval? Well, hardly.

W.S.G.A. Officers To Be Hostesses To Prep Leaders
Series of Events Beginning Mar. 15 are Planned, Acquaint High Women With University.
Beginning March 15, the Women’s Self Government Association will entertain outstanding leaders and the vice-principals of high schools in the city in a series of events arranged by the social chairman, Alice Colwell. The purpose in entertaining these women is to have them get acquainted with the campus and the university, before they graduate from high school.
According to present plans, the visitors will meet at the Women’s Residence Hall at four-thirty and then be conducted by the members of the W. S. G. A. cabinet on a tour of the campus. At six o’clock, a dinner will be served at the Women’s Residence Hall in their honor. Following the dinner, the visitors will be taken to the Tower in the Administration building, from which they will see Los Angeles by night. Two women who are on the social committee will have charge of the entertainment every other week.
To the larger high schools in the city, including Hollywood, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, Los Angeles, Manual Arts, and Polytechnic, invitations have been sent requesting that six girls and the dean visit the university at a designated time. The smah-er high schools will send three representatives and the vice-principal, in that way giving the W. S. G. A. cabinet an opportunity to entertain more high school girls. Other high schools which will be represented are Belmont, Fairfax, Harding, Roosevelt, George Washington, and Fre-
TROJANS TO MEET CARD QUINTET IN FINAL TILT
S. C. Will Tie Southern Title; Game Wednesday To Be Very Closely Contested; Captain Bruner May Play.
BY VIRGINIA KELLENBERGER
Tonight at 8:00 o’clock, Coach Leo Calland and his Trojan basketball team will leave for Palo Alto to play the Stanford quintet Wednesday night, in the final game of this particular series. Although the series has already been won by Southern California, this game will decide who will meet the University of Washington five, winner of the northern division series.
After losing to U. C. L A. Saturday night and thereby dropping the series to them, the Trojans are naturally anxious to take this game. Whether they will play with or without Captain Jack Bruner is still a question that will be settled only by time. Because of the fact that within the last fourteen days the Trojans have played six games which would prove too strenuous for almost any team, there will be no practices until they arrive at Palo Alto.
If the Southern California men win this tilt with Stanford they will tie with the University of California for the Soothern division championship. S. C., however, wins the right to meet the University of Washington in the final Coast championship series, because the Trojans won two out of three games with California. Tf things

An outstanding achievement in the growth and progress of S. C.’s_ School of Architecture has recently been accomplished in the organization by the nine women of that school of a professional women’s architectural and decorative arts fraternity to be known as "Sappho.”

the decorative arts side of the architectural profession began to receive more attention, and new courses were added. An increased enrollment of women students brought additional interest to this phase of architectural work. At present more of the women are preparing for straight architecture than decorative arts, al-

The first two games that werei played with Stanford here two weeks ago were so close that it is hardly fair to say who will win the third game. The Cards are no easy mark and it is sure that the game will be nobody’s game until the final whistle has blown. The Trojans do have an edge over Stanford if for no reason other than their conference rating. The Cards have only won one game this season while S.

Final plans for the entertainment of high school delegates to the Sixth Annual Newspaper Day of S. C. on Friday, March 9, were made yesterday at a meeting of the executive committee of Newspaper Day.
