Masked Man Visits Campus
Syd Barton—presides at Community Chest assembly.
Henry Busse—will play at Bovard assembly today.
Intrigue, mystery, and romance descended on the SC campus yesterday afternoon—puzzling everyone.
A long, sleek, foreign-looking roadster pulled smoothly to the comer of 36th street and University avenue by the Student Union yesterday piloted by a masked man.
This mask was not the usual type used by dashing, debonair adventurers but was in the form of a whole head. This head was wrinkled, baldish, and resembled the late “John D.” of dime fame.
Hopping out of his super-charged auto, the masked man soon attracted a crowd of curious students with his odd appearance and actions. He gesticulated wildly and jumped about in the street.
A male student in a bucket-hat and a beautiful coed calmly stepped into the car. The masked man got in the car and threw it in gear. The car moved swiftly— backward.
He waved his hands madly, the gears grated, and the car lept forward and out of sight. The students went back to their cokes.
The “mystery man” was Doodles Weaver, well-known local comedian.
Bishop Stevens to Be Honored
Mass Choir to Sing at Sunday Services
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of his consecration, an Episcopal service will honor Bishop W. Bertrand Stevens, church head, in Bovard auditorium Sunday at 3 p.m.
The Rt. Rev. Robert B. Gooden will be honored at the same service for 10 years of service as suffragan bishop of the diocese.
A mass choir of 125 voices under the direction of Dr. Roland Diggle will sing the evening prayer. The choir was gathered from six churches throughout Los Angeles.
In the procession will be 50 clergymen from Los Angeles. An altar 12 feet long will be built in the Episcopal style on the stage of Bovard auditorium.
Dr. George Davidson, advisor for the Episcopal club at SC and the chairman of the Diocesan on Anniversaries, and the Rev. Douglas Stuart are in charge. The speakers are Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid, Bishop Stevens, and Bishop Gooden.
Many other special services in honor of Bishops Stevens and Gooden will be conducted this month by order of the Episcopal diocesean convention.
Members of the Episcopal churches in Los Angeles, and clubs from SC, UCLA, LACC are expected to attend. Richard Gart-ley, president of the local Episcopal club, announced that his group plans to attend in a body.

The structure, started Wednesday noon, will be completed at 5 pjn., according to Tom Eddy. The fire will be set at 8 p.m. The flames are expected to reach their peak quickly because of dry wood used.
While looking over the growing pile of piano boxes and shingles, Charles Johnston remarked: “I hope SC students appreciate tha time and work that the rally committee has put in this bonfire."
“Come to life and meet the people!”
This is the theme that campus engineering students have adopted, and they will exert all of their newly-found enthusiasm in a coffee hour, Tuesday afternoon when they emerge into Trojan “society.” From 3 to 5 p.m. on that day, the engineering students will entertain, in the student lounge, groups of coeds invited to help the future “bridge-builders” make their I “social debut.” Varied entertainment, dancing, and refreshments are scheduled for the program. Official hostesses for the affair will be Miss Louise Rehbock, secretary to the dean of the College cf Engineering, and Miss Mary McHale. secretary to the counselor of wo-I men.
