Six Years’ Growth
The change marks tne final development in the status of the department which was organized six years ago under the direction of Professor French. Since 1927 the department has grown until it now offers theoretical and practical instruction in every phase of journalism.
In announcing the new School of Journalism, Dr. Touton made the following statement:
“For the past six years the work of instruction in the field of journalism has been carried on as a regular department of instruction in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. Previous to that date the teaching of courses in journalism had been included in the department of English. The change in the plan of organization took place shortly after the appointment of Professor French as associate professor in Journalism. Later the staff of the department of journalism was increased by the appointment of Assistant Professor Ivan Benson and of Marc Goodnow aa lecturer and field worker.
Commends Staff
“Because of the marked success of the work of the journalism department staff in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, the board of trustees of The University of Southern California, upon the recommendation of Pres. R. B. von KleinSmid, has now established the division of journalism as a School of Journalism in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences with Professor French as director of the school. This change will be effective immedi ately. Graduates of the School of Journalism will be recommended by the faculty of the College of Letter, Arts, and Sciences for the A.B. degree with a major in journalism and will, as undergraduates, be eligible for all academic honors of the university.
“The change from a department of instruction to a School of Journalism will not at this time call for an increase of the staff, but the change establishes the School of Journalism as one of the 21 schools and colleges of the university, thereby giving proper place and recognition to the splendid work which has been accomplished during the past six years in the field of journalism.”
Wisconsin Degrees
Prof. Roy L French, new director of the school, received his A.B. degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1923, and his A.M. in 1924. He has served as an assistant in journalism at Wis-
Prof. Roy L. French, who yesterday was appointed director of the newly-established S. C. School of Journalism.

With the selection of Boyd Homewood as assistant director for “He Who Gets Slapped,” annual N.C.P. play which is to be given in Bovard on the evening of Friday, Feb. 24, intensive afternoon and night rehearsals will be carried on.
Homewood, who is a new transfer from Stanford, receiving his B.S. degree there, is doing graduate work here in the School of Speech. He expressed enthusiasm for the manner of interpretation which the cast is giving the three act Russian drama. As versatile a group of actors is not readily found in college circles and the performance should reach professional heights, he added.
‘Atmosphere' Players Cast
Casting of “atmsopbere” players is being completed today and will be announced soon. This group, which is exceptionally large for a stage play, is very essential to sustaining the mood and tone background of “He Who Gets Slapped.” Each character must be garbed in accordance with circus decree, according to Bill Hope, play productions manager, who also plays a major role in the play, that of Baron Regnard.
For this reason. Hoppe has found it necessary to appoint more than one wardrobe mistress to have charge of the extensive wardrobe. The general requirements of the play has also made necessary a larger stage crew, which in collaboration with MacDonald’s stage craft class is building the sets.
Emotional Play
The entire play, in its dramatic scope and emotional content, the cast of heavy major roles and numerous atmosphere players and the costuming problem it presents, is one of the biggest things ever attempted by a dramatic group here, according to W. Ray MacDonald.

U.S. May Join League Move Against Japan
American Cooperation Is Sought To “Put Teeth” In Censure Edict
GENEVA, Feb. 15— (U.P)—Full cooperation by the United States with the League of Nations in making effective the league’s recommendations censuring Japan for its military activities in Manchuria is expected, members of the league’s committee of 19 said tonight.
The delegates based their opinion on a communication from Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, which in the form of an aide me-moire on arms embargoes, made a deep impression on the committee.
Stimson Paper Emphasized
They placed particular emphasis on the Stimson document’s phrase stating: “There might be a situation in which, as a result of investigation and consultation on a large scale, a clear definition was agreed upon by all cooperating powers, that one side or the other was the aggressor.”
Members of the committee considered that this phrase applied directly to the Chinese-Japanese controversy.
Yosuke Matsuoka, the chief Japanese delegate, was understood to be considerably disturbed by these developments, and expected to visit Washington, on his way back to Tokio, to talk with President-elect Roosevelt before America makes any irrevocable decision.
Return Permission Sought
Matsuoka today asked Tokio’s permission to return to Japan after the league assembly meets next week, going by way of the United States.
(Tokio dispatches said Foreign Minister Uchida had ordered Matsuoka to depart from Geneva Feb. 28 for Tokio, by way of the United States).
The Japanese were clearly disturbed at the news, the league members planned early consultation with the United States with a view to “concerted action.”
Men Are Sought For Play Atmosphere
Men are needed for atmosphere work in “He Who Gets Slapped,” annual N.C.P. play which will be given Friday, Feb. 24 in Bovard auditorium.

Tryouts will be held today at 3:15 in Bovard and Hoppe states that this offers an opportunity for students interested in dramatics to establish contacts.

also whether there was falsification of bankruptcy statements or misuse of the mails.

Would-Be Assassin Vows Hate for Rich, Powerful
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 15. — (UJJ) —
“I would not shoot a working man or a policeman,” stated Gui-sseppi Zingara, who yesterday fired six shots at President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt and wounded Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago and four others.
‘‘It is the rich and powerful I hate. As a child I had to work hard in the field, and when I was 16 I had to go to war.
“Life has been bad for me,” Zingara continued.
The Italian was stripped of all his clothes as he reached the jail and his clothing thoroughly searched.
Rogue’s gallery pictures were j taken of him clad only in his I underwear. Later even that bit of clothing was taken from him.
When news syndicate photographers attempted to take pictures
as he stood nude in his cell, Zingara demanded a shirt which he held in front of him.
Zingara continued:
“After I read about Mr. Roosevelt coming here I went to a store on North Miami avenue, and bought a pistol. I paid $8 for the gun.
“I tried to get to the park early tonight so as to be as close as possible to the president-elect, but some people were there before me.
“I sat there in the park and my stomach kept aching more than ever.
“I stood on a bench and pointed the gun at Mr. Roosevelt. But the people around were pressing against the bench and making it wobbly. The gun start to shake but I pulled the trigger anyhow—
I don’t know how many times, i

Shots Interrupt Speech
The shooting took place in Bay Front park here a few minutes . after Mr. Roosevelt had come ashore from the yacht Nourmahal ! on which he had been cruising through the Bahamas. The president-elect was responding to a welcome of 10,000 people gathered in the park when the crack of pistol shots cut short his speech.
Zingara was said to have admitted that 10 years ago he was party to a plot against the life of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy.
(An attempt was made in 1911 on tho life of King Victor Emmanuel and the assailant was imprisoned until 1928 when, at the king’s order he was given full freedom in a general amnesty.)
Five Injured
The injured, in addition to Mayor Cermak, who was shot through the chest, and who waa not fap tally wounded, were:

“Got Cermak"
“It got Cermak,” Zingara was heard to shout before the crowd recovered from the first shock ot the attempt at wholesale killing;
Mr. Roosevelt owes his life to the fact that a split second before the shots were discharged he had lowered himself down to the rear of his motor. He had been standing, braced by his arms on the lowered top of the car.
He was in the process of sliding into his accustomed seat when the bullets cut through the air.
