Supreme Court
l Qualifications of Hughes Questioned As Leaders Attack Federal Decisions.
Washington, Feb. 12 (INS) For three days, before crowded galleries, the Senate has been debating the country’s highest judicial body, the Supreme Court, and the qualifications of Charles Evans Hughes to be it’s chief justice without reservation and with an ever widening opposition to the president’s choice.
For the first time in nearly a hundred years a nominee for chief justice has met such an onslaught from the floor of the Senate, and the Court itself, and various decisions which it has rendered, have come in for vitrolic attacks by senators who oppose Hughes.
Probably never before has the Supreme Court, the "Holy of Holies,” been so bitterly assailed as it was today. Republicans and Democrats alike attacked its various majority decisions — Most of them with minority decisions by Justice Holmes and Brandeis.
The question of confirmation of Hughes hinges around his employment by great corporations since he left the bench, and the rights of corporations as against individuals. Opposition Senators read briefs presented by Mr. Hughes before the Supreme Court as counsel for corporations and decisions of the court Itself.
Senator Smith W. Brookhart (R) of Iowa, told the Senate that the Supreme Court “is now divided into two political parties, the progressives and the reactionaries. The majority has become the greatest confiscatory group in the history of the United States.”
Senator Blaine (R) of Wisconsin, attacking Hughes for again accepting a nomination for the Supreme Court after resigning to enter the presidential race against President Wilson, charged that “The Supreme Court is becoming a waste basket for political manipulation where men may be thrown by the President.”
So great has become the opposition to Hughes’ appointment that the administration leaders today launched a defense. Senator Otis F. Glenn (R) of Illinois, stressed Hughes’ legal attainments, career and his championing of the laboring man and child labor legislation, and his reforms as Governor of New York, which were later adopted by nearly every other state.

MULVEY WHITE CALLS MEETING
Professor Nagley To Address Business Staff Of Trojan On Advertising.
Mulvey White, business manager of the Trojan, will preside at a meeting of the business staff to be held at one o'clock. The feature of the meeting will be an address by Prof. Frank Nagley of the College of Commerce, who will speak on the problems of soliciting advertising matter. In his talk, Professor Nagley will emphasize the possibilities of expanding and improving the types of advertising used in college newspapers at the present time.
It is essential, White declared, that every member of the staff attend this meeting, or he will be in danger of losing his position. A student who has been soliciting ads in the paBt may not consider his position secure, for the tryouts that are now being held are producing many capable prospects for positions on the staff. Following is a list of men whose positions on the staff will be cancelled pending their attendance at today’s meeting: B. Gul-ko, J. MacFaden. B. Mendelson, and C. Stringer. These men are urged to at. tend the meeting it they wish to con tinue their activities on the staff.
Due to the system which Involves a change in managership each semester, there is now a double chance tor freshmen to work up to a paid position in the business department. This fact was stressed by White in urging freshmen to try out for the staff. It is possible for sophomores and juniors who have capabilities in the business line to attain the managership even if they start now.
Women attending the Y.W.C.A. supper meeting Tuesday evening, February 10, possibly the most representative group of women which gathers together on the campus for there are representatives from all organizations and groups, unanimously passed the motion which was made from the floor that the women on the campus of. the University of Southern California should strictly enforce all laws laid down by the United States of America and should stand by the President of the United States of America in enforcing any all of the laws which he may make or suggest for the betterment of the nation.
It was felt at the meeting that the women of this campus are probably the women who will be the leaders of this and other cities inside of the next five or six years and if it is the wish of these women to abide by the laws of the United States it will be made much easier for the other women who have not had the opportunity to the same advantage of education to follow the good examples of our campus women.
The Y.W.C.A. tree was nearly half sold and the names of each woman buying a leaf, branch, knot hole or root will be placed on the tree before the next meeting of the group The tree is sold to raise money for the organization. It was painted by Nancy Kaye and Betty Fay.
Louise Miller gave two selections on her harp, "The Italian Message," and "Chanson,” while Vilma Keener gave "I’m Only a Red Headed Boy." An appeal for cooperation of the women was made by Leo Adams to have greater attendance at chapel exercises.
Mrs. von KleinSmid gave a welcome to the new women and gave a message to the older women on the campus. Mrs. Pearl Aikin Smith terminated the affair in her usual gracious manner by reciting an appropriate piece of poetry.

DATE FOR FOOTBALL BANQUET POSTPONED
Women's Preference Dinner Necessitates Date To Be Changed To February 28.
Leo Adams has found it necessary to postpone the date of the all-university football awards dinner-dance until Friday, February 28, as sorority preference dinners will be held on the evening of February 21.
The affair, the first of its kind to be sponsored by the Associated Students, will be held in the social hall of the Student Union at 7 o’clock.
It is at this banquet that the football men will receive the awards, monograms, and other recognitions of their season’s work on the gridiron.
Adams has planned the dinner-dance to be one of the most select social events ever staged at the University of Southern California. Care is being taken in choosing the decorations, entertainment, music, and patronage to insure the exclusiveness of the affair.
The Associated Students will be hosts to the football men and their guests in addition to a small group of prominent men on the S.C. com-pus. Only 50 tickets for the affair will be placed on sale. They will cost four dollars and will be offered to seniors. If any are left, juniors aud sophomores will be allowed the opportunity to purchase them.
By following out this policy, it is hoped that this dinner dance will become the most outstanding social event listed on the social calendar of the year.
Carrying out the Hawaiian nights motif, the social hall will be transformed literally into a verdant south sea isle. Music and entertainment will assist materially in carrying out this theme.

DISCOVERIES MADE IN CARRIBEAN SEA
German Vegetarian, Dr. Ritter and Wife Found in Starving Condition.
NOTED POLOISTS TO APPEAR HERE
Argentine’s Four Horsemen Will Be Presented At Rally Friday Morning.
Argentine’s Four Horsemen of the Pampas, members of the crack polo team which won the Olympic championship in 1928, and which today stands as undisputed champions of the Pacific coast, will be introduced to the student body of the University of Southern California at the basketball rally to be held tomorrow morning at chapel period.
Definite announcement of this fact was made late yesterday by Sam Newman, chairman of the rally committee, as soon as the players’ appearance had been assured by H. C. Niese, Argentine vice-consul in Los Angeles, and lecturer in Spanish at Southern California.
Inasmuch as tomorrow’s rally, the first of the new’ semester, is to be purely athletic and in preparation for the next basketball game in the series with U.C.L.A., we feel that in presenting the South American poloists we are not only stimulating interest in athletics at S. C. but are incurring an honor that the students of the University should be quick to realize and take advantage of,” states Newman. The chairman adds that a large attendance is expected at the rally both to welcome the mallet-men, and to join in the cheers and songs which will bs led by Gordon Pace, Trojan Yell-king. There will also be some Argentine tango music presented, with songs and accompaniment on the guitar.
The Argentine team ls one of the most colorful mallet combinations to ever invade a Southern California polo field. Its personnel consists of Manuel Andrada, captain; Alfredo Harrington; Juan and Jose Reynal. Carlos Uranga plays as substitute, and Thomas Nelson is manager. The team rates at twenty-four goals. Andrada and Juan Reynal are seven-goal men; Harrington and Jose Reynal rate at five goals. This explains, to some extent, the team’s superior playing, and the Olympic and Pacific Coast championships won. It was just last Sunday that the Four Horsemen of the Pampas defeated the Midwick Country club's hopes for coast superiority in a whirlwind game that ended in a 7 to 6 score.
Chicago, Feb. 12—(INS)—Discoveries of such startling nature that they will not be disclosed until after further explorations next year were announced by Commander Eugene F. McDonald, Jr., on his return today from a five months cruise on the yacht Mizpah through the Carrl-bean to the Galapagos Islands and others.
Commander McDonald, already noted for his Arctic explorations, came into the spotlight some wreeks ago whn he radioed his finding of the Qerman vegetarian, Dr. Charles Ritter, and his wife, starving to death on Charles Island. They intend to live there for life, but refuse to eat the animals, according to the rescuers. Commander McDonald left them enough supplies for a year, with some guns and ammunition before sailing away.
A number of distinguished scientists were guests members on the Mizpah during its cruise. Among the queer specimens and island birds brought back was a Blase Penguin, with white vest and West Point bearing. It seemed unaware of the curious crowd which eyed him in the station as the crowd was anxious to see it. It has been named "Charlie Chaplin.” Other specimens brought in were left temporarily at Miami, Florida, because of sickness that developed.
The islands, according to the adventurer, are the newest land on earth, of recent geological age, peculiarly isolated and dry, so that the bird, sea, animal and plant fauna are unique. Visited for centuries only by pirates and whalers, then by Charles Darwin for his “Origin of Species,” and later by William Ree-be, the ‘’Richest finds of any island on earth await those who studiously explore the Galpagos,” Commander McDonald said.
