KNIGHTS THREATEN DRASTIC MEASURES IN ENFORCING LAW
University Administration Assumes Responsibiity of Punishing Student Traffic Violators.
Because of the constant violation of traffic regulations on the part of student motorists, more drastic measures are being taken by the administration to compel automobile drivers on University Avenue to obey the rules. Complaints have been received by the Administration fror the seneral public and the students themselves, and as the violations have increased daily, the Administration has decided to take the matter into its own hands and compel the offending motorists to obey the law.
According to the plans outlined by those in charge, enforcement of traffic regulations will be turned over to the Trojan Knights, while the punishment will be meted out by the Administration. It is rumored that this punishment will take the form of suspending the offending students from class. The length of the suspension will in all probability be dependent upon the circumstances of the offense. The Trojan Knights will patrol the various campus streets, putting tags on those cars that are not conforming to the rules. The first tag will be a warning, but, according to Red Dales, president of the Knights, the second tag will in •all probability be turned over to the Administration for action.
The rules that are most frequently broken by the students are those against parking in the red and yellow zones, within ten feet of fire plugs, on pedestrian lanes, and, most frequently of all, double parking. According to Dales, the Trojan Knights are acting under orders of the Administration, and the organization hopes that the entire student body will co-operate with it to the highest degree in enforcing the law.
As final plans for the new system have not yet been completed, in all probability the actual work of the Knights will not start for several days, but the Administration and Knights together urge all student drivers to begin immediately to obey the traffic rules, so that they will not be caught when the drive starts.

YEAR BOOK ASKS FOR PAYMENT ON
RESERVED SPACE
El Rodeo Urges Prompt Settlement of Accounts; Money Was Due January 1.
Numerous campus professional and honorary organizations are still delinquent in reserving El Rodeo space, according to Les Heilman, business manager of the year book. The price of $45 for a full page or $25 for a half page seems to be the greatest drawback to most organizations, said Heilman. However, he pointed out that although last year the price was $40 per page, $1.50 was added for each individual picture.
All groups which have not yet reported but which intend to be represented are asked to see Mr. Heilman immediately as the deadline for reservation of space is drawing near.
The money for space was due January 1 and should be paid as soon as possible to one of the following: Edwin Ware, honorary fraternities; Norman Cave, professional fraternities; Shields Maxwell, clubs; and Gilbert Hess ,all social fraternities and sororities.

All freshmen managers who expect to go on with their managerial work must be at the6* coliseum Saturday at 12:30 p. m. to help in the A. A. U. track meet.
A women's chorus from the St. Cecelia Club sang the arrangement, “My Rose Ain’t White,” by Miss Mabel Woodworth, instructor in harmony and ear training at the College of Music, University of Southern California, on Monday afternoon, February 21. The Franklin High School Boys’ Glee Club sang the same song, arranged for men’s voices, over KFI recently.
Mrs. Fitzgerald gave a luncheon yesterday noon honoring the Executive Board of the freshman claee.
It is quite a thing for Southern California to have a man like Dr. Bruce Curry here for a three day institute. There is no point in rewriting here the claims of this man upon a high place in the academic world, since they have appeared in the news columns, but we happen to have met Dr. Curry upon several different occasions and consider him a real leader in his field of thought. Along with men like Fosdick and Elliott and some more he is helping to bring to the present college generation a view of the Bible which is compatible with the deepest intellectuality as well as spirituality. No sermon is intended here, but it is a privilege to be able to personally endorse a man like Dr. Curry.

“There is nothing certain except death and taxes,” runs an old adage. If Les Heilman were writing this column he would probably add to it some mention about the certainty that there will always be so-called campus organizations that have to be coaxed and cajoled and teased and begged to get in their El Rodeo lists and money. Les has never mentioned this grievance to the writer nor has he ever asked for such a paragraph as this. But we cannot help noticing the almost daily pleas made by the annual editor and manager to Trojan reporters to stress the fact that there are certain organizations that “have not yet come in.’’ ♦ * *
Tt is safe to hazard a guess, too. that most of them will come in grumbling at the end of the year when they are left out or if onlv part of their membership is listed. The writer would be willing to back Ralph Holly or Les in a move to eliminate those campus organizations which are not wide awake enough to “get in the game” and get in it on time. Participation in the El Rodeo is questionably an optional proposition. Every campus organization must be in to make it a complete success. That is why the vear book people are so lenient with offenders and that is why we sujnrest the taking away of recognition from those groups that seem inclined not to do their part.

We note that the administration is again about to descend on traffic offenders, with the help of the Trojan Knights. The first reaction to this is a threatened “Told you so.” There have been enough warning against traffic violations on the campus to warrant the taunt if arrests are made. The second reaction is that it would be a good thing for everybody concerned if the Trojan Knights were to take this thing up and make a go of it.

There was plenty to do the first semester to keep the Knights busy and to be one then amounted to something. But this sei.*;-ester the organization has been nearly dormant. The chief reason has been because there has (Continued on Page Four)

MORE MATERIAL NEEDED FOR‘TRAVELING WAMPUS’
Tommy Wampus is again prowling in search of material for his next laugh bulletin, the Travel Number. He is looking for cartooons, sketches, and. in fact, anything that pertains to travel, except (maybe) nightmares.
To quote: “There are around six thousand students in Southern California ,and of these only about twelve contribute to Wampus. What we want is a representative comic periodical that will reflect the spirit of the whole campus. In order to accomplish this in the next issue we must have MORE copy—and have it in by March 1,” stated Milton Booth, editor.
One of the features of the Travel Number will be a four page Auto Section. Another will be a three color cover by Bob Crosby that will depict a novel method of travel.
440 Yard Relay is Feature of Meet; Trojan and Mercury Squads Expect To Hang Up New Marks; Many Stars Entered.
BY RALPH HUSTON
Trojan chances for a third consecutive I.C.A.A.A.A. championship will come up for close inspection tomorrow, when the annual A.A.U. relay carnival is staged in the Coliseum, if the Cardinal and Gold runners can make a good showing against such arrays of talent as will be offered by the Los Angeles and Hollywood Athletic clubs, not to mention individual stars who will run in the colors of various
4 local colleges and high schools, they will be conceded an excellent chance to waltz off with the national eol-legiate title again.
REAL COMPETITION Plenty of comprtition looms for Cromwell’s athletes tomorrow. The Hollywood A. C., winners of the national A. A. U. championship last year, have another great squad; the L. A. A. C., headed by the redoubtable Charley Padflock, is always a threat; and Tommy Davis’ frosh crew, while not competing in all of the open events, can be depended upon to pile up a record number of points in the novice events and may be able to take tea mhonors.
Interest settles about the four man. 440 yard relay event. Both the Tro-Trojan and Mercury quartets have announced an intention of setting a new record in this event during the present season .and the assault gets under way tomorrow. Both teams
Charles W. Hoyt of New York, an outstanding national authority on his subject, will speak on “Price Cycles Since 1912” in room 20G, Moose Hall, at the 10:25 class period Monday morning.
His subject is not to be con fused with business cycles, as it concerns changes in the purchasing power of the dollar. According to Mr. Hoyt, we are entering upon a new phase of the price cycle which demands radically different adjustments in the relative importance of manufacturing and marketing.
College of Commerce classes held at 10:25 will meet together in room 206, Moose Hall, to hear Mr. Hoyt discuss this problem, and all others interested are invited. Mr. Hoyt is a speaker of national reputation, the author of two books, “Scientific Sales Management” and "Training for the Business of Advertising."’ and is the head of the Charles W. Hoyt Company, one of the outstanding advertising agencies of New York City.

The University of Southern California Chapter of the Chi Epsilon, honorary Civil Engineering fraternity, has at its last meeting decided to reward the freshman who is the highest id his class in civil engineering. The award is to be made in the month of May annually and is to consist of the following: A cup with said freshman's name engraved on it, which is to be placed in the Engineering building, where it may inspire future freshmen to raise their scholarship standing; and an engineer's hand-book, which is to be his personal property.
It is also the plan of this 'fraternity to hold a banquet at the beginning of each semester and to invite the upper third of both the freshmen and sophomore classes. At this lecture they will be told the purpose of the fraternity and the requirements for membership. By doing this the fraternity hopes to increase the scholarship of the engineering school at the university, and to encourage lower classmen to work.
Press Club Elects Six Members and Arranges For Banquet in March
At a meeting of the Press Club Thursday in the Trojan office, six students were elected to membership.

The opportunity for IjOs Angele* in foreign trade was discussed by Clarence L. Matson, of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, in a talk before the foreign trade group of the College of Commerce yesterday noon at the Italy Inn on Figueroa.
Mr. Matson, who is head of the trade extension division of the Chamber of Commerce as well as head of the local co-operative office of the United States Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, is one of the people responsible for the development of the I^os Angeles harbor.
After tracing the phenomenal development of transportation and communications during the last century. Mr. Matson turned to the subject of the rapid expansion of Los Angeles in the field of foreign trade within the last few years. As an example of the remarkable t>ace of communication today, he said that it is possible for him to send a wireless message to the Chamber's branch office in Honolulu when he goes out to lunch and have the reply on his desk; when he returns.
Los Angeles Harbor is second in tonnage to the port of New York, according to the latest government sta-. tistics, Mr. Matson stated. Petroleum is the largest export and crude rubber the largest import. About every fourth automobile in England is run on Los Angeles gasoline, according to Mr. Matson. Proper refrigeration facilities on trans-oceanic cargo vessels are rapidly developing a large export business in citrus fruits, most of the produce going to England, and smaller amounts to the Far East and tbe Dutch East Indies.
Mr. Matson stated that it is no easier to enter foreign trade without proper training than it is to become a doctor without a medical education. For this reason, he said, college students in foreign trade have many more opportunities than have untrained men.
Clayton Carus, professor of Foreign Trade, introduced the speaker, and John R. Riggs acted as chairman of the group.
