official introduction of Sam Barry, new varsity basketball coacli, and Forrest Twogood, assistant varsity and freshman coach, was made at the rally held Friday morning for the (wo games played Friday and Saturday evenings with Stanford.
Barry gave a short pep talk outlining plans for the season. "There lias been some lack of spirit among the Southern California students in basketball,” he said, "but we are expecting to see excellent crowds at the remaining games of the year.” Captain John Lehners was scheduled to appear for introduction at the rally but could not be prevailed upon to come onto the stage, stated Sam Newman, rally chairman, who took charge of the assembly.
Following the policy outlined for the spring semester by the rally committee, outside entertainment was provided by Kay West’s jazz orchestra. The group is now playing at Kay West’s cafe across from Westlake park.

Looks like a collegiate golf course, a lot of green studded with college buildings. There is
ing chosen "Ghosts," Henrik Ibsen’s famous drama, for production. The cast is working every afternoon and evening under the direction of W. Hay MacDonald in order to present as finished a production as possible.
The leading role in Ibsen’s drama will be played by William Miller, who is expected to give an excellent interpretation of the unfortunate son who suffers for his father's sins.
Marjorie Temple is to play the part of the mother w’ho kept from her son all knowledge of his father's indiscretions until she found that, in so doing, she had wronged both herself and him.
The sanctimonious and hypocritical minister, Pastor Manders, will be enacted by George Lawrence, president of National Collegiate Players. Paul Kiepe, formerly manager of university play productions, will play Jacob Engstrand, the crippled carpenter. Betty Fenemore, a transfer from Arizona, will take the part of Regina.
Tickets are now on sale for the production at the Students Store. Students may use their activity books for admission, according to William Miller, manager.

HONORARY SOCIETY OF JUNIOR WOMEN CHANGES PURPOSE
Spooks and Spokes Raises Scholarship Requirement For New Members.
With speeches handed in for final polishing, the Trojan women debaters are fast rounding into form for the start of the schedule early next semester. According to Lucile Reed, team captain, Glendale Junior College and possibly Pasadena Junior College will be met in practice debates before the league contests open. In March, Occidental, U. C. L,. A., and Whittier will contend with the fair Trojans, while April will mark the finish of the season with debates scheduled against Wyoming. Oregon, Mills, and the big triangular meet with California and Stanford.
An interesting new- feature is being considered for the Wyoming debate in tliat the "split team” plan may be used. This will consist of having each girl from the S. C. team pair off with one from Wyoming, and the two teams thus formed will debate against each other. In the remaining debates, the regular plan "ill be used, with perhaps the Oregon plan introduced occasionally for variation.
The question which will be discussed in all of the debates this year is, “Resolved: That social sororities and fraternities in American colleges are undesirable.”
Coach Alan Nichols is highly optimistic over the prospects for a successful season. Last year the women’s squad lost but one debate, and t iat by a 2 to 1 decision to Washington. SeveVal of the participants 11 last year’s campaign arc and ther*
Are Pasadena taxpayers getting their money’s worth out of the city school system? Is the present school administration and building program an efficient one?
These are some of the questions which graduate students in the School of Education will help a special survey committee to answer. The committee which will head the research was appointed by the Pasadena board of education, and includes Dr. Willard S. Ford and Dr. D. It. Hull, both faculty members of the University of Southern California.
All phases of the administration of Pasadena schools will be studied, including the building program, the business management, and the organization of primary and secondary school systems.
Five thousand seven hundred dollars has been appropriated by the Pasadena board of education for the survey, which Is being made in collaboration with the California Taxpayers’ association.
When the research is completed the results will be printed in pamphlet form, and will be available to all interested persons.
That Spooks and Spokes, junior women’s honorary society has raised its scholastic requirement for membership from “recommended grades” to a 1.7 average is an announcement made by Betty Ferris, president of the organization.
“This materially changes ’the nature of Spooks and Spokes from an honorary in recognition of activities of outstanding sophomore and junior women to one recognizing both activities and good scholarship,” Miss Ferris said. “Also it tends to make membership in Spooks and Spokes a stepping stone to membership in Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary, and makes a larger differentiation in the purpose of Spooks and Spokes and that of Trojan Amazons.” With the approach of finals, Spooks and Spokes urges those sophomore and junior women who are active in campus affairs to exert great effort in maintaining a good scholastic average. Election of members will be held in the spring.
FRATERNITIES MUST ABIDE BY RUSHING RULES

Mr. Ralph Flynn,
Editor, Dally Trojan.
Dear Sir:
For the proper enforcement of the present rushing rules as adopted by the Interfraternity Council certain facts must be remembered by those concerned:
1.	The present rushing rules were adopted after careful consideration by last year’s council. It was the opinion of those present that these rules were the best rules submitted; although, even the most optimistic, granted that there were defects which should be removed.
Although It may have been in the minds of some, up to, and including the present time, no such attempt has been made to change the present rules. Even at the repeated invitation of the president of the council and the chairman of the committee which was appointed to assist anyone who felt that they had a better plan for the regulation of fraternities.
2.	Therefore, the rush rules as defined In the Constitution and By-Laws of the Interfraternity Council are now declared to be In operation for the second semester. Copies of this Constitution may be obtained In Dean Bacon’s oflice in the Student Union.
For the convenience of those interested the calendar for the second semester is enclosed:
February 1—Saturday, 1 p.m., First semester ends.
February 3 — Monday: 9 a.m. Registration begins. Freshman week begins.
February 4 — TuesGay: 6 p.m. Freshman week ends.
February 5 — Wednesday: 8 a.m. Second semester begins. Official rushing begins.
February 8 — Saturday: 12 M. Ofllcial rushing ends.
February 10 — Monday: 6 p.m. Fraternities may bid rushee.
The terms used on the right hand side of the calendar printed above are defined iu Articles V to IX of the Constitution. It is suggested every fraternity man get a copy of the Constitution and acquaint himself with the rules; and thereby, save himself and his fraternity any trouble.
Donald McLarnan, Pres. Interfraternlty Council.

“Reservations for the drama shop luncheon meeting to be held tomorrow must be made by 4 o’clock today,” stated Gertrude Tyson in a recent interview. Tickets may be purchased from 9 to 4 o’clock today at the round table on tlie third floor of Old College.
Since the Yale Puppeteers, who will offer a program on January 30 ln Touchstone theatre wlll be guests of honor, It Is urged that students desiring to attend the luncheon make their reservations at once.
The three young men, Harry Burnett, Forman Brown, and Richard Brandon, will all be present. Burnett, who makes the puppets entirely by hand, will bring with him some of his creations and explain to students the ancient art of puppettry.
OLD ART Puppettry is one of the oldest forms of art, being known and practiced long before there were any human actors. It is often said that puppettry is the most pure form of dramatic art since the puppets are made for a character and do not assume it.
Burnett and Brandon were members of Professor George Pierce Baker’s class in the playshop at Yale. Brown *s a Michigan graduate.
The three puppeteers started about a year and a half ago and toured

Re-enforcement Of Traffic Rules Begun By Trojan Knights
Because of the rainy weather, the Trojan Knights have been lax in their enforcement of tralllc rules but they will begin again to tag all cars parking in red or yellow zones or too near fire plugs, states Sam Newman, president of the Knights.
After a car has been tagged twice, the owner of the car will be called before the faculty administration, and if a third tag is found 041 a car, action will be taken by faculty heads.
“Two or three students have been summoned before the faculty committee within the last semester but they haven’t been found parking in the wrong zones afterwards,” states Newman.
Important zones in which students are requested not to parK are directly in front of the Administration building, between the Student Union and the Administration building in i the yellow districts, within 20 feet of all fire plugs, and in the two new red zones.
ENGLISH ADVISERS TO HELP STUDENTS
Committee To Check Cases Of Upperclassmen Deficient In Standard Usage.
Instructors in all departments of the university are asked to designate to the committee for cases deficient in English any juniors or seniors who may be so deficient in written and spoken English as not to be a credit to the university. Roy T. Thompson is chairman of this advisory group. Professor Thompson stated that since upperclassmen occasionally allow their English to fall below the accepted standards of usage required of them in the introductory course (English lab), this institution is sometimes placed in the embarrassing position of graduating students who reflect discredit upon S. C.
The committee will consider whether any student so designated' shall be required to repeat any part or all of the freshman English, take special tutoring, or adopt any other measure which would seem to promise a remedy for his defects. Documentary or other evidence which would be useful to tills committee is requested in each case.
