S. C., Stanford and California Men Will Represent West on Eastern Tour.
Henry Traub, assistant debate manager last year and one of Southern California’s leading debaters, has been appointed manager of the first all-California debating team, composed of representatives ot tho University of Southern California, Stanford and the University of California. This is the announcement that comes from Leo Adams, president of A. S. U. S. C.
Plans are being formulated in regard to the present season tour which the team will make in December. Last week Herbert Wenig, Stanford representative, visited debate officials on the Trojan campus concerning the proposed plan.
The new manager is a senior at Southern California aud has had three years of active work on the Trojan platform. Last year he teamed with .Randolph Ritchey, this year's debate manager, and the pair represented S. C. in eight debates. Traub has won a Bowen cup since he enrolled at this university.
The proposed tour of the United States which the all-California forensic team will make, is scheduled to start ibout the first of December. According to plans that were considered some time ago the trip will last three months. The trip is an innovation in Pacific coast debating, for It is the first time that an all-state team has represented the West against orators of the East. It is a chance to inform the United States of the forensic activity of the three universities.
The Itinerary will route the men through Arizona, New Mexico, the Southern states, up the Atlantic coast, across Canada aud down the Northwest. The list of schools to be met on the trip include: Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, Syracuse, Ohio State, Florida, Oregon, New Mexico and Washington.
The idea of the combined team was first conveived at the meeting of the debate officials last spring and Stanford was chosen as the starting point for the team due to the geographical location.

S.C. PROFESSOR RECEIVES TITLE
Trojan Faculty Member Is Now Designated As the “Reverend Mrs. Fisher.”
One of the greatest honors which may bo conferred upon a woman, was conferred upon Mrs. Lena Leonard Fisher, of the department of history of comparative religions, when Dr. Elmer E. Helms of the First Methodist Episcopal church, when he presented her with the title of Reverend, which gives Mrs. Fisher the license to preach.
This honor was conferred upon her after the quarterly conference of the church. Mrs. Fisher is recognized for her work as an outstanding speaker of the country. She is booked at present for over twenty speeches which are to be delivered at va. rious churches and to women’s clubs. She speaks on International, civic and social affairs, as welt as on church history and comparisons of the various religions.
It has only been -within the last I eight years that women have been | allowed to speak from the platform of the Methodist church, and there are now only a few women who have the honor of being allowed to do so.
Mrs. Fisher has spoken in many of the well known and largest churches of this city, as well as in many of the leading countries of the world. One of the greatest distinctions that has ever come to her is that she was asked by Rabbi Winkler to speak in the Jewish church during his absence at the time of his vacation from Sinai temple.
After computing figures kept by the University of Southern California on the number of persons that the various professors of ihe institution address, it has been found that Mrs. Fisher has addressed over 25,000 persons other than students.

School To Give Full Curricula
With the new school of merchandising, a research unit in the College of Commerce and Business Administra-Ition, in full swing the four year [courses in marketing, wholesaling, retailing, and advertising are being de-! veloped. These are the first four year courses in merchandising now being offered in any university in the United States, and as such is receiving national publicity.
In considering the courses, freshman and sophomores are recommend ed to take up a pre-merchandising curriculum. In such a course 60 per cent of the student’s time is devoted to cultural courses and 40 per cent to courses specifically listed under merchandising. During junior and senior years, the percentage of work is reversed so that students devote 60 per cent to merchandising subjects, selected in accord with their majoring in retailing, advertising, or marketing. At the end of four years these courses will lead to a Bachelor of Science degree in Merchandising. Evening courses are being given for those who work during the day.
The financial basis of the school comprises an annual $20,000 appropriation by the university and a five year guarantee of $40,000 annually to be provided by the business interests of the city and surrounding territory. Many business enterprises such as Bulocks, and Barker Brothers are backing this school.
