What We Expect Our College To Be
(An Editorial)
The University of Southern California is not an ideal edu-ational institution. Reorganization of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences is specifically intended to bring us closer to our ideal.
So far, however, no one has concretely expressed our ideal. We know where we are going, but each of us has his own way for getting there. And when the impetus comes equally from all angles, a static condition results—no progress is made.
The Daily Trojan will set forth in a series of editorials this educational ideal and how to achieve it. This is done in a spirit of helpfulness. Many toes will be stepped on; a great many faces and a very few backs will be slapped. Nevertheless the Daily Trojan sees the necessity for an effective movement, using a single means toward a single end.
We as students mean this end to be the establishment of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences at U.S.C. as a great institution of HIGHER LEARNING. What is such an institution?
It is a place where the INTELLECT of every individual is educated and expanded.
It is a place where the development of minor skills HAS NO PART.
It is a place where the mind is trained to perceive and handle IDEAS—where modern life is considered in the light of its historical heritage.
It is a place where the LIBRARY is the chief center of interest of the whole campus, the chief source of information.
It is a place where faculty and student body ALIKE ARE STUDENTS—where teachers are advanced students helping charges who are less advanced.
It is a place where a student’s progress must depend upon

A group of interested students in conjunction with Miss Pauline Alderman inaugurated the Listening Hour program a year ago. Its purpose is to offer the finest in recorded symphonic music to students, faculty, and members of the general public. Requests for favorite numbers and the dates on which they are to played will be received by Miss Alderman in the School of Music.
Several additional periods of recorded music will be presented this semester at the noon hour, it has been announced. This system has been tried at Pasadena junior college and has been found very successful.
‘The present disturbed conditions of international affairs, while not a permanent deterrent to the aspirations of the people of Hawaii, suggest the wisdom of further study and consederation of this question and possibly the holding of a plebiscite at some future time,” the report said.

Hitler's Ultimatum Forces Schuschnigg To Make Appointments
VIENNA, Wednesday. Feb. 16 — T.P)—Fuehrer Adolf Hitler of Germany, backing up an ultimatum with strong military forces along Austria’s northern frontier, early today forced Chancelor Kurt Schuschnigg to place five Austrian Nazis or Nazi-sympathizers in his cabinet
Schuschnigg, long a bitter foe of Nazi penetration into Austria where the Nazi party has been outlawed since June, 1933. announced his capitulation and submitted his new cabinet list to President Wilhelm Miklas after Hitler’s three-day ultimatum expired at midnight.
In accordance with der Fuehrer’s foremost demand, he appointed Dr. Arthur von Seyss-Inquart, a leader of the outlawed Austrian Nazis, to the major cabinet pc»ts of Minister of Interior and Public Security. GAINS DOMINATION By this one stroke. Hitler gained Nazi domination over the Austrian police and gendarmerie and enabled the Nazis to regain a measure of their forfeited power and further suppress the activities of Austrian Monarchists who want to place Archduke Otto on the Haps-burg throne.
The reconstructed cabinet, as announced officially, also contains pro-Nazis, although not in all instances actual party adherents, in the cabinet posts of labor, industry, justice, and forestry.
