COLLEGE PAPERS ORGANIZE LEAGUE

Olympic material in Southern California looms on the horizon as big as (fountain. There are so many star athletes in this part of the country who ive set almost unbeatable marks, and m sure of gaining a trip across the ny to wear the stars and stripes at ntwerp.
Bob Weaver, president of the Southern California branch of the Olympic Committee places our own Charles W. Paddock as the starriest star of the rtole bunch. Charley sits on the top of the heap whenever possibilities are liiscussed. He is the one real sure candidate.
He has ambled down the century ein the remarkable time of 9 4-5 sec-ids several times. He was clocked
9	3-5 by most of the watches at irkeley, in one meet.
Hawkins of Fullerton high school d Bob Allen of Redlands high school, th look like good possibilities in the shes.

The three other quarter milers of tote in the South are Gynn Wilson, Mown track captain; Therman Clark t Los Angeles high, and Colin Kilby H Redlands University. It is under-tood that the latter is diligently prac-Icing the 440-yard hurdles in lieu of ie quarter dash.
If Wilson fails to make the team in he quarter, he still looms as a big pos-ibility in the half, having a 1:59 rec-M this season.

Never before in the history of our nation has silk been so generally used as casing for the lower appendages of our female population.
Th ree hundred pairs of stockings were closely examined by the writer as the wearers of said stockings busied themselves in ascending and descending street car steps at Jefferson and University, as they climbed in and out of the autos parked in front of the administration building, and as they climbed laboriously up the rather steep stairway that leads to Oratory.
Two hundred of these pairs of outer casings were made of pure silk. Out of this 200, 145 had been pressed before wearing and the remainder had not.

Continue the enumeration, sixty pairs of these stockings were silk up •°ks like the South’s one best bet in i to a certain point, and from there on ** bar clearing event. This lad leaped to the articles of attachment were

SHIMMERING SILKS ARE INVESTIGATED BY TROJAN REPORTER FOR READERS
The high cost of livihg is the topic uppermost in the minds of the public today. Students of world problems have given much thought to the matter and have cited numerous causes as responsible therefor.
The near-universal practice on the part of women wearing stockings and portions of stockings made of costly silk has frequently been named as a considerable factor in encouraging the desire for luxurious and extravagant commodities with the inevitable high price mark.
Desiring to inform its readers as to the habits and manners of University coeds in the use of the shimmering silk hosiery, The Trojan yesterday assigned Anthony Comstock, Jr., to stand at various debarkation points near the campus and note the proportion of silk-clad ankles to those encased in cotton and wool.
Anthony, the latest recruit to the Troian newshound pack, made good on bis rirst assignment. In this story he tells what he saw..—Ed. note.

From this it can be seen that there are some of the co-eds who are making a pretense of economy.
Twenty pairs were near-silk. That is, they were as thin as si!k, but the material used in their manufacture is probably wood-fibre.
Next on the list comes 18 pairs of cotton. These cotton stockings, although they had not the glamour that invariably comes with those of silk, were serviceable. Many darns were noticeable.
Wool finished a poor iast, with only two supporters 1 mean two wearers. It is not my intention to discuss supporters until next semester
The methods employed for the upkeep of these silken creations are numerous. The craze for rolling has reached the peak of popularity. Only twenty of the 300 pairs of stockings ended in mystery.
Probably those who wear the stockings ibis way are adherents of the sect which enjoys cool breezes. Some rolls are just rolls—no more.

The East is once more looking westward as the time for the Olympic tryouts again draws near. The years have clipped away since the last great tryouts were held at San Francisco in 1912. All the old stars have either left the Southland or retired from the track. The West has always upheld her share of the Olympic representation. But in the old days the West did not mean the Pacific Coast. Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, meant West, ours but a savage land, in tlie athletic world, until 1900.
ln the great American track classic, the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, Western stars first commenced to shine in 1913. Alva Richards the same man who hopes to win the high jump at Pasadena, won the Penn championship that year with a leap of six feet two
inches. The West bad then progressed.) elected in
Fourteen seniors and two juniors have been elected this year to membership in the Scholarship Society, it was announced yesterday. Election to this organization is the highest honor, exclusive of graduation cum laude or summa cum laude, conferable upon undergraduate students.
New members of the Scholarship Society are Elizabeth Axtell, Georgia H. Beven, Lucile Bonebreak, Lucile Eade, Phillis Hepler, Elizabeth N. Pepper, M. .Eleanor Perry, Ina W. Ramboz, Helen
D.	Shaffer, M. Olwen Thomas, Dorothy L. Wlaker, Alice E. Watson, George P. Hedley, and Edward Bouton, all seniors; Gertrude V. Gilmor and Portia A. Riley.
The Scholarship Society exists for the purpose of giving public recognition to such members of the student body a shave distinguished themselves by their scholarship in courses selected primarily from the fields of the so-called “liberal studies,” namely, the languages and the literatures, philosophy, education, history, political science, and pure mathematics.
Tlie organization was founded in Oc-ober, 1914, by a group of thirteen members of the faculty of the University of Southern California, who were also members of the honorary scholarship fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa. It has now a total membership of 118 faculty, graduate and undergraduate members.
The present faculty members are Emory Stephen Bogardus, Ruth Wentworth Brown, Allison Gaw, George F. Kenngott, Thomas Blanchard Stowell, Paul Arnold, Kenneth McLeod Bissell, Janies Main Dixon, Rockwell Dennis Hunt, Louis Wann, Lura Adams La-Porte and Bertha Beaudry. These includes the original organization members still connected with the faculty, and others who have since been elected because they were members of Phi Beta Kappa, or graduate members of the Scholarship Society appointed to positions on the faculty, or because they have made valuable contributions to the advancement of liberal scholarship.	, Elections to the undergraduate section of the society are carefully guarded by the following conditions: All elections are by the faculty members. Each nominee must have completed not less than forty units of work in this University, and must be at leist in the second semester of his junior year. To be eligible for election, u junior must have received a grade of A (old marking system), or equivalent grades under tbe new system, in not less than 85 per cent of his college units up to tlie time of his election. A senior must have received a similar grade, in not less than 67 p^r cent of his college units. No more than three members of the junior class can be
building material andthe inability to secure skilled labor, have caused the change of the opening date, which was originally scheduled for September.
Owing to the existing economic conditions, it is probable that it will be five years before the proposed buildings, which have already been passed on by the Board of Trustees, will be completed. It is doubtful if any temporary buildings will be erected on the campus to take care of the rapidly increasing registration.
Theplans and specifications for the new library have not been accepted by the committee as being suited to meet the needs of a first-rate university. The plans called for the erection of the building upon the plot of land immediately south of the present main building. This plan placed 'the cost of the ney library at $250,000, but may be raised to $300,000, or even $400,000, to meet the requirements of a better equipped library, equal to any on the Pacific coast. Dr. Bovard states it is hoped to build the new library in the block now occupied by the Y. M. C. A. building.
The brick building at Thirty-sixth place and Exposition boulevard, recently purchased by the College of Denistry, will be put in shai>e for occupancy by the opening of the fall semester. The two lower classes will I quartered in the new building, whi the juniors and seniors will contim their work at the clinic situated Sixteenth and Los Angeles streets. The latter building was found to be of insufficient size to accommodate the large number of students.
The first building to be constructed after the library Is completed will probably be the Science Hall, which will be furnished with modern scientific and engineering equipment.
The alumni banquet is to be held the same day as commencement in the City club. At this banquet Tully Knoles, president of tlie College of the Pacific, a IJ. S. C. graduate in 1903, and for many years head of the history department at U. S. C., will be the principal speaker.
Richard A. Kirckhoffer, rector of o’ie of the largest churches in Riverside, and a U. S. C. graduate, will be the toastmaster for the evening.
One of the new features of the banquet will be a stunt put on by the senior class which is prophesied as being entertaining in all respects.

Hazing was officially abolished at a recent meeting of the Student Senate of the University of Wisconsin. The action was aimed especially at street rioting and lake ducking, which mark tbe height of class rivalry cropping out at no other times during the college year.
