43-29
Livernash and Newland Star For University, Swann for Visiting Team — Large Crowd Attends Tuesday
The Trojan basketball squad lost to the Normal Westlakers Tuesday night by a score of 43 to 29. The game was played before a large audience who were made to sit up and take notice every minute of the game. The game was fought from start to finish, but the Westlakers proved to be too speedy for the Trojan five. The boys showed considerable improvement since their last game, and with another week of hard practice will be able to work together with greater speed and efficiency. The score at the end of the first half was 15 to 13 in favor of the Normal team.
Livernash at forward and Newland at guard played a star game for S. C., while Swann was the Westlaker’s star player.

WILL MEET TODAY
Members of the council recently appointed by President Bovard to act on student problems and take steps towards the creation of a student body government will meet this afternoon. The organization of the body will be completed and plans for future action laid.
At the last meeting much interest was shown in the plan as outlined by President Bovard. The council is to work free of faculty dictatorship, and its development will be watched by schools all over the country.
STAFF IS REORGANIZING
BOYS’ GLEE CLUB IS TO TOUR LOCAL TOWNS Profesor Cogswell and Twelve Men Will Give Concerts in Near-by Cities
“Plans have just been completed for a three days’ trip for the Men’s Glee Club,” announces Manager Sawyer. The trip will include Pomona, on February 3; Riverside, February 4; and Hemet, February 5.
Twelve men, not yet definitely chosen, will make the trip with Professor Cogswell.
Organization of the Trojan staff continues to become more complete as the work proceeds. Reporting, editing and making up the material for each day’s issue is gradually being reduced to a scientific basis, whereby efficiency and expediency may be attained.
Reporters are assigned certain definite fields to cover, and each reporter is responsible for all the news in his particular field. During the makeup of each issue of the Trojan, every reporter files a statement of the number of words which he will report on that day with the news editor. If this is not done, credit cannot be given that individual for work on the paper
The work at the copy desk is done by thc rewriters, the headline writers, the desk editor, the assistant news editor, and the news editor.
STUDENTS WILL HEAR NOTED ARGENTINIAN
SORORITIES AGAIN EXCHANGE DINNERS
In the object of a greater community of interest among sorority members, another of the exchange dinners was enjoyed by the members of Phi Mu and Zeta Tau Alpha last Monday night. The upper classmen of Zeta Tau Alpha were entertained at the Phi Mu house and the lower classmen at the Zeta Tau Alpha house.
South American Life and Customs to be Topic at Lecture to Upper Division
Dr. Julius Zeigner-Uriburu, a prominent representative from South America, will speak at the senior assembly Friday on the life and customs in South America. Dr. Uriburu is a lawyer from Argentine Republic, and represents that country here commercially. He is much interested in having students study Spanish, and his talk will be practical rather than statistical.
Dr. Uriburu will address the students in the Spanish department in Spanish at 1:15 Friday in the zoological lecture room.
LAW LYCEUM TO ELECT OFFICERS FOR NEXT
Society Has Had Successful Season—Plan Debates for Remainder of Year—Will Challenge Liberal Arts.
Election of Law Lyceum officers for the ensuing semester will be held tomorrow evening at the regular weekly meeting.
With the close of this semester, the Lyceum has brought to a successful completion a record of activity that has been unsurpassed in the organization’s history. From a handful of individuals the growth of the Lyceum has been so rapid that last year the membership was limited to thirty, but present indications point to a further increase in the near future.
The members have entered into the work with great interest. A weekly debate and monthly banquets were new features that met with instantaneous approval. The latter feature was especially valuable for the training in after-dinner speaking it furnished the members.	#
For the coming semester even greater activity is promised. Debates with outside organizations during next term will soon be scheduled, according to the public contest committee. Debating societies of Liberal Arts will also be challenged, and, in addition, contests arranged with Judge Wells’ debating teams.
Many of the law school debaters have received their first training in the Lyceum. The greatest value of the work lies in the fact that it is made as practical as possible.
