FROSH WELCOMED TO CAMPUS WITH PROGRAM OF EVENTS ON THE LOOKOUT WITH RALPH HUSTON Members of the Class of 1931 enter this University today with a great opportunity. They come upon Southern California’s campus as she celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of her founding; when a powerful forward movement is gaining headway. 1 hey have the opportunity of not only joining in this movement, but becoming its rightful leader, and fostering the tremendous growth which is sure to be Troy’s. * * * There are two lessons which this University ,or any other similar institution, can teach—Service, and Co-operation. The first thing a Freshman must learn, when he fearfully trods the unfamiliar campus, is that he is no longer in high school. Just as the United States has been called the "Melting Pot of Nations,’’ so, too, can a University be termed a melting pot of high schools. Once within the halls of a University, the student must firmly lay aside all traditions, customs, mannerisms, even thoughts, of high schools. A Trojan tradition proclaims that high school jewelry must not be worn. That is the outward sign of emancipation. The inner feeling must be changed to make the metamorphis complete. * * * High school prejudices must be forgotten if an organized spirit of Southern California is to be installed on the campus. High school enmities must be left behind if a better Southern California is to be the central aim of the energies of the student body. All interests must be trained to shape themselves, so that they will instinctively work towards the betterment and the advance of Troy. * * * Between 800 and 1000 Freshmen have selected Southern California as the scene of their mad dash for higher education. Some have been attracted by the glamour of nationally famous athletes, whom Troy has been proud to call her own. Some—fortunately, a small few—have come for the social prestige that may be attached to a college diploma. But most of that 1000 are here for an education, an institution which will give them a firm start with an equal footing in the casual sport of life.

FACULTY WELCOMES FROSH TWO NEW DEANS ASSUME DUTIES AS TERM STARTS •‘Aeneas Hall” is ready for its first band of Trojans. Southern California’s new Men’s Residence Hall, located one-half block west of University Avenue on 36th Place, is th'e latest addition to the growing group of fine buildings on the campus. Started late in the spring it was completed in ample time to meet the needs of non-resident students this semester. MEAD DESIGNER William H. Mead, builder and designer of the new plant, is an alumnus of Southern California, and has taken an active part in Trojan affairs for many years. The new building has been designed and located to meet the needs of its residents. Situated in the same block with the new Students Union, now undter construction, and the Y. M. C. A. and within two blocks of att campus buidings its aecessability is assured. Included in the Hall beside sleeping quarters to care for one hundred and fifty-five men are: a large dining hall, study room, hospital unit, recreation room, guest rooms, and a “clubby” lobby. OLD TROJAN HERO The christening of the building "Aeneas Hall” involved no little deliberation and selection. President von KieinSmid finally selected it as the name most symbolical of Trojan spirit. Mythology tells of the bravery of the ancient Greek hero—how after the Trojans had been defeated and their city captured by strategy, Aeneas ed a band of his people from the sacked city to seek a new home. Aeneas Hall opens today, with reservations already in for more than two-thirds of the rooms. A recent ruling of the administration makes it necessary for all non-resident Freshmen to reside in quarters provided for them by the University. However, the Hall is open to any student, regardless of class. v . 4‘\ : a m S» < :p: : x:;s DISCIPLINE ALL UNRULY FROSH Knights, Amazons and Squires Join in Enforcing Campus Traditions.

Thirty-five honor organizations on the S.

Election to membership in any one of the several honor societies is indicative of ability and achievement above the average, and carries with it recognition from the entire campus. Development of a particular talent or outstanding work of any kind in campus activities is certain to be recognized at S. C. with the large number of organizations existing for the purpose. Good work, with or without (Continued On Page Four) The enure University faculty, headed by President Rufus B. von KieinSmid, is welcoming a new Freshman class today. Included in the 1 i81 are two new cleans, Justin Miller, who will take over duties as dean of the Law School; and Reid Lage McClung, who will occupy a similar position in the College of Commerce. Dean Waugh, of Liberal Arts; Dean Skeele, or the School of Music; Dean Fisher of the School of Religion; Dean Immel of the School of Speech; Dean Ford, of the College of Dentistry; Dean Stabler of the College of Pharmacy; Dean Hunt of the Graduate School; Dean Rogers of the School of Education; Director Mac-Quarries of the University College; Director Bogardus of the School of Social Welfare; and Dean Weatherhead, of the School of Architecture, and similar educational veterans will be in their accustomed offices. Dr. von KieinSmid, President of the University since 1921, needs no introduction to the returning students, and the freshmen, no doubt, already know him by reputation. He has received many degrees and honors both in the United States and in foreign countries; he was one of the delegates of the United States to the third Pan-American Congress; and was the President of the University of Arizona before coming to this institution. Dr. Karl T. Waugh, is well-known in educational and collegiate ^circles. During the war. Dr. Waugh was Chief Psychological Examiner of the Army. He is the President of the California Psychological Corporation, Past-Presi-dent of the Artland Club in Los Angeles, and served as President of the Deans of Men of Western Colleges. Dr. Justin Miller has had wide experience in both the teaching of the law and in active law practice. Grad uating from Stanford in 1914, he taught law at the Universities of Montana, Oregon, California, Stanford and Minnesota. At Minnesota he was associate editor of the Law Review, and at Oregon, the Editor-in-Chief of the Oregon Law Revie#. Frosh Have To Pay Into Senior Fund In Order To Be Safe Of all the organizations of the campus of the University of Southern California, the Trojan Knights, the Trojan Amazons and the Trojan Squires should be of the utmost interest to the Freshmen, man or woman. These three organizations chief duty is to see that the traditions of the University are enforced. The Trojan Knights take charge of 'The rooting section at athletic contests, aid the yell king in any way possible and meet and entertain visiting trains. A Trojan Knight may be known by his Cardinal sweater with a gold Trojan head over the heart. AMAZONS DISTINCTIVE The Trojan Amazons whose distinctive costume is a black sweater with a white emblem, enforce the university traditions among the women of the campus, their duties corresponding to those of the Knights. The Trojan Squires, which is a junior organization of the Trojan Knights, are the especial bane of the Frosh. The Squires have charge of the enforcing of the University traditions among the first year men. They are all Sophomores and during the two years of their existence have proved very efficient in keeping the Freshmen in line. Their black sweater with a white Trojan head over the heart is a signal for all little Frosh to be especially good. As a method of insuring finances for the class of ’31 wnen It attains the dignity of seniorship, the faculty administration of the University wil assess each incoming Freshman one dollar. The collected fund will be placed in a bank, according to Gwynn Wilson, where it will remain intact for four years, or until 1931. At this time, the class will be free to draw upon the fund for use in manner it may see fit. Senior classes in the past have possessed an unfortunate habit of leaving numerous debts behind, but it is confidently believed that under the new system, which will give the class a fund of nearly $1000 to start its fourth year in the University, this old custom will be eliminated. (Continued Trojan Staff Tryouts Set Frosh Will Get Chance To Prove Ability As Newspaperman. Aspiring journalists interested in trying-out for positions on the Daily Trojan are asked to report to either Vivian Murphy or Harold Gilbert at the Trojan office, 716 Jefferson, Monday or Tuesday.
