JUNIOR C. OF C.
MAY SEND BAND TO NOTRE DAME
Trojan Supporters are Intent on Getting Players East To Big Game.
There is still some hope that the band will make the trip back to the Notre Dame game.
At the regular meeting of the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce yesterday noon a committee was chosen to look into the feasibility of sending the Southern California band to Chicago. Mr. Rawson, chairman of the committee and a former S. C. student. states that the organization is willing to do anything in its power to send the Trojan band to the game.
Members of th?. Junior Chamber of Commerce believe that the success achieved by the band in the past more than warrants this opportunity.
Trojan rooters .on the campus and a number of prominent alumni believe that all that is needed is a little organized effort on the part of those that are interested in seeing the band make the trip.
From the offices of the University no announcements were issued.
Mark Kelly, sport editor of the Ix>s Angeles Examnier says, "Not to send the Trojan band to Chicago, with their blazers, socks, nifty nickers and incomparable stunts and music would be missing the CHANCE to do a lot of highpowered advertising for Southern , California.”

NEW SCRIPPS COLLEGE IS OPENED AT POMONA
Of wore than usual interest in edu catiofiai circles of the Southland was the recent opening of Scripps College for Women, which is a new addition to tke Pomona group of colleges in Claremont.
There is a marked similarity between this plan of college groupings and that which is noted as existing in such English universities as Oxford and Cambridge. Only the first unit of Su*ipps College has been completed at the p^sent time, but there are plans for several more. This building, a very beautiful architectural structure, is similar to a dormitory, and has accommodations for sixty young women. Here the life centers about the dormitory, in which a home atmosphere prevails, and where mutual Interests and problems are discussed and solved. Plans for the instructional buildings which are to care for Scripps College classes are completed. and the buildings will soon be a reality, it is hoped. The tuition and living expenses will amount to approximately $1400 a year per girl.
In comparing the system of the Pomona group of colleges with that of the University of Southern California. !*r. John G. Hill, who attended the opening of Scripps College, said, “There i* & vital difference between their educaUonal system and ours. SouO’-h California possesses a demo
cratic, utilitarian system, which is directly serviceable to life in whatever field one’s interest lies. We send forth our students with an understanding of the practical, as well as the theoretical side of education.

In Chicago the University of Chicago bears a relationship to the Community Chest of that city which is similar to the relationsh ip which the University of Southern California should bear to the Community Chest of Los Angeles. In general, our university does bear an important relationship to the social and business life of the city, but, so

"Every co-ed who attends the prom will be delighted witli these favors”, stated the vice-president yesterday. “The committee feels, as do the officers of the class, that no better selection could have been made.

“The merits of both these systems are debatable, to be sure, but there is room for thorough experimentation in both.”
Dr. Hill considers it a valuable thing for a state like California to have many types of educational institutions

“To my mind, the common, broad, democratic education is gone, if we all follow in the footsteps of Pomona College,” re marked Dr. Hill, “and I think that would be most unfortunate. Of course, such cultural selectiveness works in the direction of very high standards of college requirements and work.”

the handling of S. C. publicity in the downtown dailies has been done in an exceptionally efficient manner.
The Bruin representatives also noted the fact that the committee has succeeded in giving Southern California an unprecedented amount of publicity in outside publications and that they have been responsible for determining what is advisable and what is not advisable to print. Heretofore if one paper used an item the representatives of another had deemed to be of a character not furthering the best interests of the university, there usually was trouble raised by the paper which was not supplied with the article. Campus representatives, then, rather than run the chance of offending were accustomed to sending in copy indiscriminately.
The news purveyors of the University of California at Los Angeles, state that it has been the consistently constructive subject matter that has char acterized S. C. stories in the newspapers this semester that have attracted their interest and atention. They feel that they as representatives of U. C. L. A., will be called upon for more and more news of their institution as it sgreat progress in every line g*es on and they intend to remain on the lookout for opportunities to profit by the experiences of S. C. in diverse fields.
