Freshmen Rules To Be Enforced By Trojan Body
Squires To Supervise Yearlings in Semi-annual Tradition Observance.
By RAY ZEMAN
It starts today!
All freshmen must obey campus traditions beginning today. Such is the edict issued by Duncan Powers, president of the Trojan Squires. And woe be to the lowly peagreener who forgets the lordly power of the beknighted body. Beginning today, all rules regarding the wearing of dinks, queening, carrying Frosh Bibles, desecrating walks, and the like will be rigidly enforced.
For one long week, the freshmen have been allowed to go ignorantly or courageously onward, disobeying all rules. But today the Squires meet at 10 o’clock in Hoose 20G to discuss plans for disciplining the unruly.
To begin with, every freshman must wear a dink. This dink, purchasable at the Associated Students Store, re tails for just 50 cents. For the lowly ignorant yearlings, it may be stated that a dink that fits him will be subjected to the same punishment that he would receive if he had none. Word comes from the Student Store that several hundred dinks remain from last semester, alle of odd sizs. No matter how hard a freshman tries he will not get a dink that fits him.
While getting his dink, the freshman may drop over to another counter and get his freshman Eible. This let it be known, is the “sine qua non” of every peagreener. To those who do not understand Latin, it is the “sine qua non” anjrwav. Any freshman caught without his Bible will be—well, if the real truth were known, no freshman would be caught without it. It is better left unknown so that the Achillean wrath may be inveigled against the offenders.
No longer too, may the main walk be desecrated by the lowly yearlings. Beginning today, no freshman is allowed on the central sidewalk If ad-ing to the Administration building. The only occasion on which such trespassing will be allowed in front of the “Ad” building may be at some future “sidewalk cleaning party.” These little parties .so well known to . last semester’s freshmen, are not always strictly formal, as the frosh will soon learn.
The Squires also decree that no “queening” will be permitted anywhere on the campus. Not only are the yearlings forbidden the privilege of wearing knickers, but they ar? likewise not allowed to speak to any woman on the campus. In former times, this edict applied to the front steps alone, but the laxity occasioned has forced a more comprehensive obedience to the Trojan tradition. It is only when an upperclassman suggests that a song or a proposal to some young lady would be fitting that a peagreener may approach any member of the weaker sex.
Then too, there is the matter of the Senior bench. Quite often a freshman, meandering hither, thither, or north, pauses at the Senoir bench on (Continued on Page Four)
Scholarship Cup is Received by Dean Karl T. Waugh
Karl T. Waugh, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and general fraternity advisor, announces that the silver loving cup has been received which is to be presented to the national social fraternity possessing the highest scholastic rating during the preceding year.
The scholarship cup will be presented at a student assembly as soon as the winner can be determined. There is some question as to a number of social fraternities who became national during the preceding year. The question as to eligibility will probably be decided by the donor of the cup. the Inter-fraternity Alumni Association of Southern California.
State Historical Society Offices Move To Campus
Dr. Owen C. Coy, Director of Organization, Moves From Berkeley.
Headquarters of the California State Historical Association have been removed to the Trojan campus. Owen C. Coy, Ph.D., director of the association, has moved all files and research equipment to his new offices in the Healy building, 36th and Hoover streets. The new quarters of the association comprise a part of the State Department of Education.

Speaking over radio station KHJ last Friday afternoon. Dr. E. S. Bogardus, head of the sociology department presented an extremely interesting discussion on the question of eeth Mexican Immigration Quota.
At present the Mexican immigrants are allowed to enter the United States in unlimited numbers. The proposed change in quota would be 3 per cent ,the same as most of the other foreigners are given by national law. This would decrease the number of Mexicans from approximately 60,000 to 15,000 a year.

McCaslin Stars As Trojans Beat Mercury Quintet
Bruner and Mortensen Score Heavily As Locals Hand Clubmen 42-33 Trimming.
By BILL HARVEY
'1 his gent Lowry McCaslin will be able to get a job in any man’s circus. 1 his was definitely proved Friday night at the pavilion when, he tangled and untangled himself all over the floor and was in no small way responsible for the 1 rojan victory over the L.A.A.C. team, 42 to 33.
Besides making himself a nuisance to f.he visitors by his great passing Lowry accounted for 12 markers, thus establishing himself as the high point man for the locals for the game. Ten of Ouse digits were made through field goals and two came over the free throw route.
Trailing McCaslin by a scant two point margin was Captain Jack Bru ner who started the game, went out in favor of Ferris in the second half, substituted a few minutes later and retired finally to make room for Ferguson. There was no sign of sickness in the Trojan captain's play and all who had figured to see the leader tire fast after his illness were pleasantly surprised by his staying ability.
While speaking of high point men, it is impossible to omit the scoring power on the Trojan team in the person of one Jesse Mortensen, who does a lot of hard work as McCaslin's fellow forward. In the course of the evening’s entertainment Mortensen accounted for eleven points. The only points he missed were two free throws that rimmed the hoop and jumped out.
The Clubites had a lot of power but depended on long shots throughout the game. Captain Reason led his teammates in their battle and chalked up 12 points during the fray. For the most part his goals were made from well beyond the free throw line and were impossible to guard.
The Trojans led at the end of the helf, 22 to 12. It was in this period that McCaslin did most of his scoring, garnering eight points.
It was early in the second period that McCaslin brought the stands lo notice, when he untangled himself from some ambitious Mercury guard, and snapped the ball to Mortensen who obligingly sent it througm the hoop for the required two points. Thereafter it was just one untangle-ment after another as far as Lowry was concerned, and when he left the floor towards the close of the game he received a big hand from the stands.
TROJAN SQUIRES
All Trojan Squires must meet in Hoose 206 today at 10 o’clock. It is imperative that every member be present, according to Duncan Powers, president. The last meeting, scheduled for Friday, was postponed to make way for the Sophomore class meeting at the same hour. At todays meeting effective plans for the enforcement of traditions will be form ulated.
