The occasion was oue of comical accidents as well as of scientific discovery. Waves sprayed most of the party from head to foot. l>r.

Near casualties occurred when two of the party attempted cross some rocks in the surf and again when Mrs. Clare ran backwards into a tide pool in au attempt to escape a wave.

Important changes with regard to the question ot Rhodes Scholarships, each of which entitles the holder to three years at Oxford university with an annual stipend from the Rhodes foundation of four hundred pounds or nearly two thousand dollars a year, were announced by Dr. Allison Gaw, chairman of the
Rhodes Scholarship faculty com-*------—----
mittee at the University of Southern California.
The 48 states of the union are divided into eight districts of six states each. The University of Southern California is located in the group of states including California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and New7 Mexico.
YEARLY CONTEST There will be a competition in each state every year. Each state committee will be allowed to nominate two men from that state to appear before the district committee, and each district committee will select from the 12 candidates so appearing before them the best four to represent their state at Oxford university. A state may thus receive two scholarships or none in accordance with the merits of its candidates.
Students at the university will thus have an opportunity to compete for Rhodes Scholarships every year instead of two years out. of each three as has previously been the case.
SECOND CHANGE A second important cnange in the system consists in the fact that Rhodes scholars are allowed the option of spending their third year at Oxford or at any other university in the world outside their native country, as may be best for the prosecution of their studies, aud they will be allowed the option of taking their third year immediately at the end of their first two or after a period of some years work in the United States, as they prefer.
It is imperative that competitors from the University of Southern California should complete | their applications with the university faculty committee immediately. as the university candidates for recommendation to the state committee must be selected well before Oct. 10, 1931.
REQUIREMENTS The following are the requirements for eligibility: the competitor must be a male citizen of the United States and unmarried; he must be between the ages of 19 aud 25 ou the flrst of October,
1931; and he must have completed at least his sophomore year in college.
A candidate may apply within the state in which he resides, or in the oue in which he received at least two years of his college educatiou.
