The Southern California Varsity Picnic Thursday Official Organ of the Associated Student*, University of Southern California Vol. IX Los Angeles, California, Tuesday, March 5, 1918 No. 31 GIVE SWEATERS AND LETTERS TO TAN-BARKS Dean Porter of Law College Presents Letters to ‘Frosh’ Grid Heroes PREXY GIVES SWEATERS Beef Plus Brains Makes Real Man, He says—Many Players Enlist Letters and sweaters were presented to those U. S. C. football men who have not yet joined the army, In chapel Monday. Less than half of the varsity tanbark men responded when the roll was called by President Bo vard, who awarded the honors. Cliff Henderson, the president of the student body, was master of cere monies. He pointed out that although it has been several months since the football season ended, the deeds of the men who whipped Utah 51-0 and held the California varsity to a 0-0 tie have not been forgotten. “We are here to show a little appreciation of the work of the two teams out there on the field.” Cliff then introduced Dean Porter of the Law College, who awarded the letters to the members of the freshman football team. Those of the thinned ranks who either got their letters at the assembly or later in the day were Beale, Bird, Blakeslee, Dean Evans, Galloway, Holcomb, Lucas, Lindley, Smith, Stagg, Toolen and Woodward. Isenhouer, Stephens and Willis are with the colors. President Bovard paid the varsity men several high compliments. Looking at a well known gentleman by the name of Campbell, the president remarked that a man of beef alone was not a succes, but added that such a combination of beef and brains as he had frequently seen the gentleman in question demonstrate on the football field, would make a success anywhere. Growing serious, the president said: "These men who have proved themselves on the athletic field are doing the work of the world today. I want to say to the men who have not yet gone that you will have a chance to display your ability in the great conflict in which we are now engaged.” Dr. Bovard, concluding, gave the monograms and sweaters to the men who were present, these being: Joslin, Campbell, Taylor (monogram only), Knichrehm, Weiss and McMillan. The rest will be given their outfits if such a thing is possible. De-Armond, Hester, Dahlgren, Hamilton, Malette, Miller, Butterfield, Clark, Chesnut and Hunter were the ab sentees. With each sweater and monogram went a certicate proclaiming the right of the holder to wear the letters. LANCE AND LUTE INITIATES TONIGHT AT D. B. T. HOUSE A. B. C. ’s Again Are Studied At S.C. IN INTERDEBATE Students who had no more interest in B than if it were a sign of the zodiac yesterday flocked to the registrar's office to find out if A would be anything more to them than the first letter of the alphabet. They went to get their marks, which were given out yesterday for work completed last semester. Students formed in two groups, as is the custom. One student expected to get an R, and thought he had better stand in the “L-Z” line. Professors held up remarkably well yesterday, in view of the fact that some students seem to have no chance of learning whether the alphabet contains other letters than C and F, and blame the profs. The depressing influence of this first class of students, however, was offset somewhat by others, who buoyed up the instructors by loking as though they were living under a Republican administration. One result of the office’s action yesterday, in giving out the cards, was that the main hall was practically deserted for part of the day, while students congregated in the vicinity of the registrar’s office. This suggestes the only feasible plan so far unearthed .of clearing the main hall: the school might give out grades oftener than once a year. The only objection to this plan is that U. S. C. is a Christian institution and would not willingly subject the student body to more than one fit of sadness a year. They even feel so strongly on this matter that the grades at the end of the year are mailed to the student at his home. It is hoped, probably, that the student then has sufficient moral support to withstand any blow, no matter how severe. Is JOURNALISM PROF. TO SPEAK TO GIRLS Professor Ernest J. Hopkins, head of journalism .will be the speaker before the Red Cross class at 11:40 o’clock today, in the series of vocational talks which Mr. Maryette Mac-key has arranged for the women students. His topic will be, ‘‘Women in Journalism." Coach William J. Palmer “Power Behind Throne” Say Boys U. S. C. gained a 3-0 decision over Pomona last Thursday night when they upheld the affirmative of the question of, “Resolved, That the federal government should conscript Labor to insure a sufficient output of war materials.” “America cannot buy, she can only produce, and if she is to meet Europe’s demand for food and her own demand for ships to transport that food and the warring troops, the maximum of efficiency must be obtained at home,” said Harold Brewster as he opened the debate, “Maximum efficiency can only be obtained by placing every man where he is most needed.” There was no time during the debate when the issue was in doubt. Ira Prisbee of Pomona College was the first speaker on the negative, he was followed by Harvey Wendt; William Stokes was the second speaker on the negative; E. Dow Hoffman was the third speaker from S. C. and was followed by Russell Adams, E. Dow Hoffman closed the rebuttal with a very strong appeal for the establishing of a system whereby all labor might be registered and classified just as the army has been conscripted and placed according to their classifications. Upon being congratulated, the boys took no credit to themselves but said, “Coach Palmer is the power behind the throne.” Calvin Lauderbach, Claire White and Claude Reeves had the negative side at Occidental and met with a little bad luck, the results of the judges’ decision being, 3-0 in Oxy’s favor. S. C.’s negative team had previously met Whittier College on tho same question so the arguments set forth to Oxy were not new due to their attendance at the Whittier-S. C. debate. Captain ‘Bovie9 Is Promoted Captain Warren Bovard, according to a telegram received yesterday by President Bovard, has just been appointed a member of the general staff of the United States Army, and is to continue at Washington in that capacity. The promotion follows several weeks’ service which Captain Bovard has rendered at Washington in the material department of the aviation corps. Captain Bovard’s administrative and business experience, received here at U. S. C„ haB been a major factor in his exceptionally rapid advancement. It is probable that his duties with the general staff will keep him in Washington during much of the remainder of the war. ONE BIG DAY!

E OF Community houses are being established by various groups of war workers in Washington. The action is to relieve the unparalleled situation caused by the influx of war workers to the capital. Public Utility corporations and other big business interests have rented residences and opened "community homes” for the employes they have imported from other cities. One of the sororities of George Washington University has provided a comfortable home for twenty girls who are doing war service for the government and at the same time pursuing their studies. This house is under the supervision of a competent woman who is engaged in work for the government during the day. She finds time not only to plan for the daily living necessities of her girls but for their evening recreation.

Brady. Those attending are promised an interesting and exciting evening. Under the supervision of the Y. M. C.

The picnickers are requested to eat their lunch before starting at 12:30 o’clock, for although hot dogs will be served on the sand and some hundred dozen sandwiches are to be brought by the sororities and literary societies, there is always a possibility that something might happen.

Sight-seeing busses will be hired and every one will leave the campus at 12:30 o’clock. The picnic will be in Santa Monica canyon.
