BRITAIN HOPES FOR ACTION IN ARMS PARLEY
Premier Ramsay MacDonald Tells Press Of Needed Naval Reductions.
By HARRY R. FLORY International News Service Staff Correspondent
London, Jan. 15 — Ureal Britain has high hopes for immediate anil eventual results from the forthcoming livepower naval arms conference, Premier Kanjsay MacDonald revealed in a conference with representatives ot the British Foreign Press at thc foreign ofllce today.
While Britain is hopeful that the results of the London naval conference will Pave the way for a general disarmament conference under the auspices of the League of Nations, the Premier said, the government also expects that the conference will produce an agreement which will be effective immediately.
In his conference with the press of the world, the Premier declared that his government believed the results of the forthcoming conference could not be anything but beneficial.
He stated that if the agreement reached by the delegates of the five-powers was in Itself disappointing but nevertheless had the effect of stopping competitive building, it would still be a good agreement and indirectly of benefit to the world.
If on the other hand, no agreement at all was reached at the conference, the Premier stated, it would mean there would be at least another ten or twenty years of competitive building.
The Premier was closeted with the press representatives for an hour in making known a broad statement ot his policies and hopes regarding the conference.
Public opinion, the Premier declared, expects a reduction o£ armaments. This reduction in naval strength can be obtained in three ways, he added.
First, he stated, it could be obtained by the reduction of fleets already in existence. If this was iound impossible, he said, the second step to be taken would be the reduction of navy building programs which have already been sanctioned by the legislative bodies of the countries involved.
The third method of armament reduction, he said, would be the extension of the lives of ships already built under the agreement reached Continued on Page Four
Engineering Tour To Ship Is Scheduled
Trojan Students Will Inspect Machinery of U.S.S. California Tomorrow.
Southern California engineering students will leave for Los Angeles harbor tomorrow afternoon, when they will visit the U. S. S. California.
About 140 students are enrolled to take the trip, which will be conducted by officers on the battleship California. The ofllcers will take the men about the ship, explaining the construction and points of interest of the power equipment on the boat. Of special interest is the 30,000 horsepower plant with which the ship Is equipped. Each ship in the fleet carries one of these plants. They furnish the electric power that propels the engines.
Students making the trip will meet at the Fifth street pier, San Pedro, at 2 o’clock tomorrow, Engineers meeting on the campus will leave Bridge hall at 1 o'clock.
Dean Phillip S. Biegler of the College of Engineering is in charge of the trip. He is assisted by Sydney Duncan of the civil engineering department and Gilbert Dunstan of the mechanical engineering department. Commander Evans, chief .engineer of the battle fleet, is naval sponsor of the field trip.
Such trips are taken by the engineers every two months. The ac-queduct in Los Angeles that brings water from the Owens river valley was the object of the last excursion. This trip was made January 4. The Union Tool and Manufacturing company provided another trip of interest.
"The idea of these field trips is to give the men a broad view of engineering work,” Dean Biegler said. The investigation Friday —will be of special interest to electrical and mechanical engineers.
Two other interesting trips taken by the engineers during this school year included one to Mines fleld to look at mechanical features of planes and investigate the organization of the airport, and a trip to the Dominguez oil field near Palos Verdes. This field is looked upon as a model oil field because a very limited number of persons own it and consequently are able to plan position of the Wells more scientifically.
Fraternity Track Meet Postponed Till Next Monday
Because of the recent rains, Dean Cromwell lias announced that the inter-fraternity track meet scheduled for Friday afternoon will be postponed until the following Monday. Bovard fleld will not be in condition for the meet tomorrow. Cromwell also stated that practice should continue, and this will give the Greek athletes a few more days in which to prepare for the meet.

To The Editor
Arrowhead (snowbound). Jan. 15. (To the Editor of the Daily Trojan): It is reported that the recent spread of “parrot fever” is alarming the co-eds on this campu3. Health officers are busy killing all voice recording pets who show any signs of fevering. There really Is nothing to worry about, for “parrot fever” has been known in this country ever since the Pilgrim fathers listened to their “talkies.” But there are other names for it.
Husbands of Hollywood movie stars would be tickled silly if a pekineBe or poodle itch would break out in a hurry.
Hearty congratulations should be extended to the post-office department for its speedy return to normal efficiency, now that the college employees have returned to the campus.
Yours for intelligence tests, MORRIE CHAIN.

International News Gives Trojan All Latest Facts
By FRED CHASE
Trojan l-N-S Correspondent
Yesterday’s issue of the Trojan marked the beginning of a three weeks’ experimental subscription to International News service, one of the three great press associations, which will rnpply the Trojan not only with the latest news, both of international and of local importance, before going to press, but with special feature articles on interesting events over the world, and with sport stories to give an up-to-the-minute flavor to the sport page.
In taking International News service, the Daily Trojan is following the lead of major university dailies over the country, which endeavor not only to give students college news, but also to keep them informed on national and world-wide events, by means of a news service.
The Trojan will not print tales of horror, crime news, and sensational stories of divorces, etc., which characterizes the front pages of “yellow” newspapers. People of college culture are not so interested in the bloodlettings and sordidness of the stupid, calloused underworld, nor iu the small marital and extramarital difficulties aud waywardness of the equally stupid members of the upper class, as to prefer such items to uews which is pointed and pertinent to everyone, the Trojan believes.
Campus comments regarding the Trojan and its policies are appreciated and if requested or permitted will find their way into the “Letter-Box.”
New faculty appointments for the spring term w’hich starts on February 5 at Southern California, are announced by President R. B. von KlelnSmid to Include the following:
Professor William B. McDougall, In the department of botany, to fill the vacancy In the department of botany during the sabbatical leave of Professor Howard de Forrest.
Dr. F. C. Schiller, of Corpus Christi college, Oxford, will return to the University of Southern California in February as visiting professors. He is to conduct two courses, one. in pragmatic ethics, and one in logic and scientific methods.
Arrangements have been made by
S.	C. officials for Dr. Schiller to teach philosophy the second semester of each year. Dr. Schiller is noted for his numerous publications, some of which are “Formal Logic,” “Problems of Belief,” “Psychology and Logic,” “Psychology and the Sciences,” and "Eugenics and Politics.”
Dr. William M. Marston, formerly lecturer at Columbia and New York universities, formerly consulting psychologist for New York City, and during the world war psychological investigator with the United States Army, is to head a new psychology course dealing with "Emotions in Modern Life” to begin with the February term at S. C. Various concepts of elementary emotions will be discussed, including those of the in-stinctivlsts, the psychologists, and the physiologists.

Deadline Set For Picture Appointments
Austin Studio Quits Campus Soon; No Pictures After This Week.
Regardless of the number of uncompleted photographic appointments, the Austin studios will leave the campus next week. This necessitates prompt attention on the part of those students who have not as yet had sittings for pictures for the 1930 El Rodeo.
This list includes all members of the graduating class as well as all social, professional and honorary organizations, with the exception of those of the College of Dentistry which will be given one week, beginning Monday. Final appointments of the remainder must be made before 4:00 p. m. today to insure the securing of a position in the El Rodeo, according to Morton Morehouse, assistant editor of the year book. Makeup of the remaining pages will be started by the staff tomorrow.
The deadline also applies to all student body and class officers and members of the various editorial staffs.
In spite of the numerous warnings they have received, many of the organizations desiring pages in the book have not made the proper application, according to Les Hatch, business manager. A deposit must be made at once or, owing to the extreme demand for space, reservations will be cancelled. This rule also applies to any organization not paid in full by February 1.

Coach Barry has consented to speak on the possibilities of the team and his reaction to the S. C. campus. Because of an error on the part of a report, the trio which is to sing is the trio belonging to Ray Weal’s band, not the Biltmore trio as was mistakenly advertised.
As proprietor of his new Ray West cafe, which has just opened and which was formerly Paul Perrot’s cafe, he and his band have gained new and wide popularity as dance musicians and entertainers. Previous to this new enterprise, Ray West’s band has just, completed an engagement at the St. Francis hotel in San Francisco.
WEST AN S. C. STUDENT As a dance orchestra, his band attained its flrst real distinction at the Cocoanut Grove, though it was already well known through its recording activities and its use in many motion pictures. Ray West, himself, was formerly an S. C. student, having been registered in the College of Music during his freshman year. He has continuously been in charge of dance orchestras and at one time was handling eight bands at one time.
With the conclusion of the presentation of popular numbers by both band and trio, Gordon Pace will lead the students in several yells in honor of the basketball squad and the coaches. Alma Mater will close the flrst real basketball rally of the 1930 season.
WICKERSHAM SAYS JURY TRIALS STAY
“Police Magistrate” Power Advocated Will Not Deprive Citizens of Constitutional Rights.
By GEORGE E DURNO (International News Service Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Jan. 15.—Responding to congressional criticism, George W. \VTickersham, chairman of the Law Observance and Enforcement commission, declared this afternoon his colleague’s report to congress did not propose to strip any defendant of the light to trial by jury—guaranteed to him by the Federal Constitution.
In a prepared statement W’icker-sham said the commission’s sugges-gestion that congress empower U. S. commissioner with the same authority to try cases as held by police magistrates, applied only to petty offenses which the constitution decrees are triable by court.
He issued the statement to dispel a misapprehension he said, that has developed over the recommendation concerning prosecution of certain offenses against the Prohibition laws.
The program to tighten dry law enforcement flared up in house debate today when Representative Black (Democrat) of New York charged that the commission had proposed "constitutional subterfuge” in its court commissioner recommendation.
Black declared that the plan of permitting Federal commissioners to hear minor prohibition cases without jury trial “is an attack on a cornerstone of American freedom.”
"The commission's court plan, he said, “will not reduce congestion in Federal courts but. will increase it because the plan calls for a duplication of work. Trial before a commissioner,” he said, “would be followed by a trial in the Federal court in most cases.
"The commission’s report is a failure,’’ he said.
