Medical Group Of S. C. Lauded By Dr. Molony
Work ot Trojan Faculty In World of Science Is Given Praise
Speaker Discusses Lack Of Adequate Teaching Facilities in L. A.
Stressing the distinguished ser-vicp rendered the world of science and humanity in general by the medical department of The I ni-versity of Southern California, Dr. William R. Molony, vice-president of the state board of medical examiners, president of tne Los An-peles County Medical association and one of the southland’s outstanding doctors, spoke yesterday over radio station KHJ. His address was re-broadcast by the 13 other Don Lee stations in California.
Dr. Molony's remarks follow:
"The ereat medical renters in the T'nited States are Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston. St. Louis, New Orleans, and San Francisco. Excepting Philadelphia each of these cities have a much smaller population than Los Angeles and yet are outstanding as clinical centers from whose medical colleges and hospitals come the wonderful and rc»arvelous advances in medicine and surgery. It is through the knowledge and skill coming from these medical institu tions that your doctor is more able to render you efficient service in time of sickness and to apply to you and your children the various preventive measures whereby the ravages of small pox, diptheria, typhoid fever, scarlet and many others may be eradicated.
Los Angeles Lacking
“From these institutions are gra duated year after year hundreds of thoroughly trained and equipped doctors to minister to you and your families. You may ask. why Is 1t that all this is possible in comparative smaller centers of population and not in Los Angeles; and again why is it that for years past it has been necessary for our sons and daughters to travel to the recognized medical centers in order to receive adequate medical training. In this short radio talk I will try to tell you. Los Angeles has been lacking in adequate facilities for teaching tb* science of medicine.
"‘Medical education began in Los Vngeles in 1885 as the College of V'dicine of The I'nlversity of Southern California. For nearly "0 years many of the prominent doctors of Los Angeles received their training here. About 1912, due to financial difficulties, this college ceased as a department of The University of Southern California and was absorbed by the University of California as the medical department at Los Angeles.
Added College
“The University of Southern California desiriaus of having a medical department shortly after wards accepted the College of Phy-sicans and Surgeons as its medical department. This arrangement continued until about 1920 when for good and sufficient reasons it was closed.

Chicago Gangsters Rudely Disturbed by Curious Cop
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.—(UP)—Chief . of Detectives William Shoemaker inadvertently ruined a directors’ meeting of Chicago's unoffiicial amalgamation of professional gangsters today when he blundered into a handsome office high in one : of the city s finest skyscrapers.
The chief blinked. So did the 10 gangsters, who were discussing business like so many bank presidents, when he entered.
At the head of a mahogany di-I rectors’ taNe sat handsome Murray Humphries, who stepped -into Al Capone's shoes when the scar-face went to the penitentiary.
At Humphries’ right sat William (Klondike) O’Donnell, and down the sides of the polished table were the Messrs. Thomas Cullen, John O'Brien, Joe Marino, Sam Alex, William Martin, and Charles Fraschetti, all gang powers and all smoking cigars like directors of a
steel company about to pass a dividend. At the other end of the table Jack (Three Fingers) White was taking his ease.
“Ah. how do you do?” asked Humphries, smiltngly when the officers entered. "We meet again.”
Shoemaker felt him under the arm and extracted therefrom h revolver. The chief nudged all the rest of his impromptu hosts in the same place and found another gun on Fraschetti. On top of a desk behind “Three Fingers Jack” was a third gun. In a drawer of the desk was a fourth. Shoemaker was so surprised that he arrested all the gangster chief-| tains. He was sure they were do-1 ing something they shouldn’t have, but he wasn’t sure what it is.
The 14th floor office had upon its door in gold the lettering:
“Charles T. Sullivan, contracting engineering.”

Foreign-Born Students Will See Typical American Homes
With their purpose the orientation of foreign born students to American college life, the International Relations committee, under the chairmanship of F. Harold Roach, has w-orked out two valuable projects this semester, according to a report recently filed with Betty Gildner, A.S.U.S.C. secret tary.
The two innovations are the making of a complete list of all foreign-born students, and a plan whereby the students may visit in typical American homes, so that they may be enabled to understand better the culture and home life of the United States.
A need has been felt for several years by the administration and campus organization heads for a directory of Trojans born outside the United States, according to Roach. The recently completed list, he feels, answers that need,
as it contains the name, address, and country in which was born every visitor from another land who is now enrolled in S.C.
The compilation shows that there are now- studying on the campus 327 foreign born students from almost 35 different countries. This list has been 3ent to all organization and administration heads who have made a request for it. The plan of having the students visit in American homes has met with hearty cooperation from those interested in the university, and a number of people have announced their willingness to be hosts to the visiting students.
Earlier in the school semester an International social evening was held in the social hall of the Student Union, to allow Trojans from different lands to become better acquainted with each other.
