Hugh Walpole Describes Various Types of Novels in Speech.
AUDITORIUM FILLED
“Unaesthetic Elements in Life Are Met in Writing/' Says Speaker.
BY KARMI WYCKOFF
Characterizing novel writing as “the only art in the world in which one meets the unaesthetic elements of lift,” Hugh Walpole spoke to a capacity audience i uesday evening in Bovard Auditorium.
Novels are of two types, either of the brain or of the heart, while novelists are either un«elf-con-scious or self-conscious, according to Mr. Walpole. Victorian English novelists, of whom Sir Walter Scott and William Makepeace Thackery are supreme examples, are novelists of the unself-conscious type. They wrote for the sake of writing a story, with no self-consciouness. They recognized no so-called “novel technique.”
...“Novels of the present day are of brain, written by authors who are entirely self-conscious,” said the author.
In the first group, of which Dickens and Thackery are noted members, a rtory was told for the pure delight of telling a story. In the group of the present day, novels are written for the attempted purpose of telling how life should be lived, or how it really •s lived, as in Thomas Beer’s “Mauve Decade.”
That Joseph Conrad, noted Polish author of sea stories, combines theee two elements—the brain and the heart —to a finer degree than any previous novelists was the conclusion of Mr. Walpole.

TAPPAAN TO SPEAK AT LAW GATHERING
S.	C Law Professor Will Deliver Address At Meeting of City Bar Association.
RAIN MAY KEEP CHINA PROBLEM WAMP IN HIDING WILL BE AIRED
Latest Edition To Contain Many Cartoons of Movie Stars.
“European Law Systems” will be the topic of Prof. Clair S. Tappaan of tbe Southern California School of Law at the annual meeting of the Los Angeles Bar Association tonight at the Alexandria Hotel.
Professor Tappaan conducts bourses in Modern Legal Systems. Roman Qaw, and Genesis of the Principles of Jurisprudence. He returned this year from a sever, months’ sabbatical leave spent in Europe and the East,
and was in London at the time of the general strike in May.
Bulletins issued by the British Gazette. the Evening Herald, the Times, and the Daily Mirror at a time when the strike necessitated the issuance of papers in Paris were brought to Ix»« Angeles by Professor Tappaan.
“Among the many law books I examined in London,” states the Southern California law professor, “there were enough written on calfskin parchment to make at least one pnir of shoes for all the ladies of Los Angeles.”
Annual election of officers will also take place tonight at the meeting of the Los Angeles Bar Association.
■'If Tommy Wamp doesn’t have to get his feet wet, he will step forth on the campus today.” This was the statement of Adna Leonard, business manager, who added that he believed it would be better to withhold the issue rather than to distribute copies that were “all wet.”
Today’s number ,a “Cinema Cat,” is an innovation over past issues. It contains photographs of moving picture people from Mary and Doug down to the latest extra, in addition to the whole page devoted to the Wampas Baby stars.
Literary contributions to the “Movie” number include Ralph Huston, Rita Padway, Marjorie Hull, Leon Wolpe, Joe Dubin, Elavalee Powell, and Grady Setzler, ex-Wam-pus editor of the past two years. In addition to these, about ten prominent Hollywood professionals have made contributions.
Under the direcUon of Bryant Hale ,there are cartoons from nearly a dozen of the campus favorites, with a full page drawing by Charles Saxon ,a professional artist.
That this is the first year in Wamp’s history that it has been self-supporting is the statement of Milton Booth, editor.
WILL NOT ERECT BANK BRANCH, IS MANAGER’S WORD
Trojan Advertisers Save You Money
That the Liberty Bank of America will erect a local branch on the corner of Thirty-sixth and University Avenue, has been denied by T. Scott, branch manager.
There has been a rumor circulated on the campus to the effect that there would be a large building erected by the bank in which ihere would be lo cated a branch of the Owl Drug Co. on the first floor and a cafeteria on the second.
According to Manager Scott, no immediate action fc likely to be taken by the bank, as it has obtained a lease from the University Bok Store for its temporary location for the remainder of the year.
Many Prominent Speakers To Address Student Mass Meeting Tonight.
In addition to the Honorable Garner Curran, Dr. Albert F. Raubenheimer of the University’s Department of Education has been obtained as a special speaker for the mass meeting on the Chinese situation which is to be held this evening in Bovard Auditorium.
Dr. Raubenheimer has only recently completed an extended trip to England and China and, by reason of his investigations, is said to be one of the few men who can competently speak on the British attitude and policy in China. Mr. Curran, who is an American statesman and editor of the Pan-American Monthly, has been in government service while in China and is familiar with his subject, “The American Policy in China.”
Still another speaker is Allen Hunter, until recently a resident in China, who will speak on arbitration as the only possible solution of the Chinese situation.
Tbe meeting is held as a result of the work by students of various Southern California universities. The purpose is to discuss the expediency of armed intervention by world powers in China, and whether this ie the best policy or not. ■ -	■> - *
At least four universities will be represented tonight. Southern California will be represented by T eland Tallman and Don Bailey, Oclde ital by Charles Black, University of California at Los Angeles by Ned Marr. and Caiteck bv Harold Farrar.
VARSITY GUARD LOSES TO CUPID
5. C. Entrance Requirement ‘Hokum ’ Hit
Student Prexy Explains Rumors Of Inferior Matriculation Standards.
Greetings, prep newspaper leaders!
Today Southern California is host to you, who probably represent better than any other type or group, the thinking of the high school student bodies. We are glad that you are here and hope that every moment of this conference may be one of profit and benefit for you.
And so they were lived happily ever after.
All of which refers to the recent matrimonial venture of Theodore "Butter” Gorrell, husky guard on the Trojan varsity who took the fatal plunge Saturday in the company of Miss Fern Ellsworth, formerly of Tempe .Arizona.
The marriage came as a complete Furprise to the campus, which had no idea that “Butter” was in so serious a condition.
The ceremony was performed by tbe Reverend Awl, and took place in

married and Orange, that place which has witnessed tbe culmination of so many romances.
“Butter” is a member of the Phi Alpha Mu fraternity, and has distinguished himself as a Trojan by his work on the football team.
Mrs. Gorrell is a graduate of the Tempe Normal School, Tempe, Ari-zona.
The best wishes of the campus are extended to Mr. and Mrs. Gorrell, who will for a time make their home with the bride’s mother, Mrs. Sarah Ellsworth. 215 Newland avenue.
ALUMNUS TO SPEAK TO CO-EDS TODAY
Mrs. Mab Lineman, Law 18,
Will Talk in President’s Parlors
On Sorority Obligations.
Discussing the contractual relationship of the university girl with respect to her sorority, Mrs. Mab Lineman will address a mass meeting of university women at 4 p. m. this afternoon in the President’s Parlous.
This meeting is being held under the auspices of the local Professional Pan-Hellenic Association and is open to all women students of the university, particularly to members of social and professional sororities.
Mrs. Lineman is a prominent local attorney, being a member of the firm
of Lineman and Lineman. She is a graduate of the Southern California School of Law in the class of 191S, and has recently been appointed as judge pro tem. of the Superior Court. Mrs. Linema* is well prepared to speak on the subject ot the contractual obligations of the sorority woman, having recently handled an important case of this kind at Berkeley.
One thing we .want to empha-sie. This not a trick meeting to get you here and talk Southern California to you. You shall have the best we have to offer and hope you will enjoy it, of course. But the primary purpose of today’s sessions is to get you all together here where you can talk over your own problems and work out your own solutions under the guidance of men, both from this campus and from the world of professional journalism, who can be of real service to you. Make the most of your opportunity and feel that every student' you meet is your friend.
To the Trojan student body we have two messages today. The first concerns the statement of President Tallman to the executive committee the other evening regarding the entrance requirements here and at LT. C. L. A. It has been peddled by misinformed students that it is possible to enter Southern California after having been turned down by our sister institution across the city. That is the truth, but only half of it. The situation is reversible.
It seems fair to give a practical example. Consider two men, one of whom comes from a city high school with fourteen recommended units |^ut lacking his* principal’s recommendation. This man is admitted here because our requirements call for twelve recommended units. But he cannot enter U. C. L. A. because the emphasis there is placed on the principal’s recommendation. The other student may come from an out-of-town school with eight or ten units only but armed w’ith his principal's recommendation. That fellow cannot enter Southern California. He can matriculate at U. C. L. A.
That Southern California's entrance requirements arc not lower than those of U. C. L. A. and that rumors to the contrary are “hokum” was the statement given by President Leland Tallman of the Associated Students to the executive committee at the regular meeting held in Stowell 305 Tuesday evening.
President Talman brought up the question pf rumors regarding the ability of students to enter Southern California who have been denied admission to U. C. L. A. He explained this by showing that S. C. accepts students upon their presentation of twelve recommended units, while the other institution places the emphasis upon the principal’s recommendation.
WORKS BOTH WAYS “This means,” said Tallman, “that the entrance barrier works both ways. Some students can enter here who have been denied admission -to the state university, while others are turned down here and get in there.” Coming to other items of business, Glenn Mikesell, representative from the College of Pharmacy, Dorothy Baker, Liberal Arts member, and "Red ’ Dales, president or the Trojan Knights, were appointed a committee of three by Leland Tallman at the meeting to investigate the rumors of irregularities in the recent freshman elections. Because the sophomore votes were cast in the same booth they will also be investigated.
Discussion of the question brought out the feeling from several members of the committee that partisans in the voting had electioneered within the “neutral zone.” Most of the feeling seemed to be centered on the frosh voting, but it was decided to look into the sophomore results, too.
TO MOVE SENIOR BENCH Another important action taken was that which determined that in the future there shall be both codified traditions and rules for the freshmen. Included in the report, which was submitted by Martha Wiggett, the chairman of the traditions committee, was the recommendation that the senior bench be moved to the southeast corner of the Old College lawn, and a recommendation that the boundaries of the campus be henceforth clearly defined for the benefit of the Pan-Hellenic Association, the Inter-Fraternity Council, and‘the Trojan Knights and Amazons.
The report also included the honor spirit, the “hello and smile” spirit, and the attainment of high scholarship by all Southern California men and women as regular traditions.
Upon the announcement of the vacancy of Graduate School representa-(Continued on Page Four)

The other word concerns the investigation into the recent elections. Because of the difficulties of generating class spirit in a city university there is always more or less indifference to the choosing of class officers. Irregularities have been the result ever since the writer can remember. Personally, we know nothing of the basis for the investigation of the recent balloting. But we believe it to be a healthy sign and
the sooner we all realize that the right to vote is a sacred thing and not to be trifled with under any circumstances the better off we shall be. Let this committee of three go to the bottom of the matter and give us everything they find. If anything is clouded, let there be another election which WILL be right beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Tardy Arrival of Important Speaker Given as Reason for Extravaganza Change.
That "The Rumpus of 1927” will be postponed until March 25 and 2G was the announcement made yesterday by Grant La Mont, director of the annual show. The postponement was made at the request of the University authorities.
The show was originally scheduled for Bovard auditorium on March 18 and 19, but a prominent speaker who is to appear in the extravaganza was unable to be here at that time, consequently the postponement was made at the request of the Univers ity authorities.
The show was originally scheduled for Bovard auditorium on March 18 and 19, but a prominent speaker who is to appear in the extravaganza was unable to be here at that time, consequently the postponement was made to give him a chance to appear before the public.
The women’s chorus will not be required to rehearse this week, in order to give them a chance to dry out their clothes, according to La Mont, but the regular cast will practice every day."
Gene Johnston and Hal Chasnoff are still conducting tryouts for the fifteen-piece orchestra which will play for the show. Johnston is writing some new songs for tbe extravaganza, and Chasnoff is arranging the music.

Plans for a new building to hou<»e the musical organizations of this campus are now complete, and the structure will be ready for occupancy in approximately six months.
The building, which will be located adjoining the men’s gymnasium near Exposition boulevard, will be occupied by the officers of the men’s i and women’s glee clubs, Trojan band | and orchestra ,and also by Harold Roberts, a director of all musical organizations.
One of the important features of the new building will be a music hall for the use of the glee clubs both in practice and performance.
As the foundation is already laid, the members and officers of the mu sic department are looking forward with eagerness to the time when they will move into their new quarters.
the event is to bring high school journalists of the Southland closer together, to aid them in the establishment of professional contacts, and to give them inspiration and instruction in the fine points of the craft.
Although Newspaper Day has always heretofore been held on January 17, Benjamin Franklin’s birthday ,it was found more feasible this y*ar to set the date a month later.
