SCHILLER SETS RECORD
[Paddock and Evans High Point Winners With Two First Places Apieces
By Milton M. Inman
In the track and field meet last Saturday. the Universtiy of California handed U. S. C. a 75% to 45% defeat. George (“Speck”) Schiller, star U.
S.	C. quarter-miler, broke the Bovard field record for the 440-yard dash, running it in 40 and 4-5 seconds. “Swede” Evans divided high honors equally with Sir Charles Paddock as point getters for the Trojans, each taking 10 points. Dope was upset in two or three instances, but was essentially cerrect, as the Bears were slated to win by a 25 to 30 point margin.
The invaders took eight first places, leaving tlie hosts but six. The Bruins walked off with eight second places •id two firsts, which were tied between their own men, giving them credit for seconds, while the Trojans took it three second places and tied with California for a third (there being no ;*cond place, as two men were tied for it. The success of California, ac-ing to Captain Gwynn Wilson, was Is to their good supply of second feg men.
Prettiest Race
The prettiest race of the day was Ike 220, in which Monty Paddock tied to record of 22 seconds flat for the local track. Monty resembled the get-way of the gray Stutz that spends tlie Horning parked in front of school, compared to a'Buick old enough to enter le kindergarten in his start. Pad->k always has trouble negotiating 4eslow speeds, but once in high, gives rest of the dashing young athletes shower of dirt from his educated es. George Schiller finished a good nd, closely followed by Hutchinson ^California.
Schiller Sets New Record If the 220 was the prettiest race, the was the most thrilling. At the ltart. Hendrixon of California had the Me, and held it for 200 yards, with *fk in second place. At tbe 200 ®ark Schiller stepped abreast the fast "far and soon passed him. Captain 'Ison succeeded in grabbing second J“Ce at about three-quarters of the ®tance The only thing that bothered Schiller on the home stretch was "e sound of Wilson’s spikes. Wilson . *®hed a quarter of a second behind .chiller, who negotiated the distance «4-5 seconds. The men who com-e the “Fresh Bible” will have to 'aange their chart of U. S. C. records.

According to a vote held Friday in Professor Festus Owen’s psychology 100 class, the Wampus and Trojan are representative of U.ft.o. and are not liable to just adverse criticsm. Results of the vote show that 85 per cent of the student* had read the Wampus for March and the Trojan of March 17. Of this number about 35 per cent criticised the Trojan more or less severely and about 20 per cent found fault with the Wampus. Tlie rest of the students stated that they saw nothing to criticise in either of the papers.
The following are the questions and the result of the vote of 159 members of the class: (1) Have you read Wednesday’s Trojan? Yes, 136; No,
23.	(2) In your opinion is there reasonable ground for adverse criticism leveled at us for any matter appearing in The Trojan? Yes, 47. No, 89. (3) Have you read the last issue of the Wampus? Yes, 133. No, 26. (4) Is there reasonable ground for adverse criticism in it? Yes, 28. No, 105.
While many of the class answered in one word, most of them by far added comments in support of their stand. Favorable comments varied from a brief “absolutely” or a spicy “naughty but nice” after the “no” to a page long statement in which the writer declared that U.S.C. was the cleanest thing in his life and that he sent home all the college publications and received nothing but favorable comments about them.
The following statement about the Wampus is representative of the general sentiment expressed:
“The Wampus is not unfit for a college paper. If we, as college students, are not able to see things the right way we do not deserve to hav» any paper outside of a Sunday School paper.”
Critics of The Trojan were not de-
rotten. There is very great need for a sentiment to frown on this kind of publication in The Trojan. Several things in last week's Trojan have lowered the standard and ideals.”
Prof. J. H. Montgomery, registrar— “Simply a blunder in printing it. Everything that is printed in the dailv press is not fit for The Trojan. The tendency of present day humor is toward the place where it ought to be suppressed.”
Prof. Rittenhouse, department of biology—It was very unfortunate that it was copied from the Times.”
Miss Biles, dean of women—“It is far from representative of college iiu mor as a rule.”
Dr. Malcom, head of the history department, stid:
“Such a cartoon is entirely out of place in a college publication.”
Prbf, Gilliland, also of the history department was of the same opinion. “I approve of cartoons,” he said, “but the one in question does not belong in a college paper.”
Katherine King, editor of El Rodeo, says: “Such a cartoon is out of place in a college paper. It would not be so
INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL COMES TO LIFE

A varsity monogram club will be formed at the Sigma Chi house Wednesday evening when all letter winners, alumni and undergraduates, will meet for that purpose. Those in charge of the arrangements for the forming of the club are anxious that all men who have ever been on any sort of varsity team long enough to win their letter, be present.
The club will be organized for the promotion of better athletics and for the progress of sports in this institution. It will also be a social organization. As Coach Henderson puts it: “It will be a social organization with a serious purpose.”
The club members will wear a pin formed of a “V” with an S.C. monogram in the center.

show was the two-mile exliibi-
fault with the Times’ cartoon; some with the article on “Pants”; and some with the jokes. Wampus was surprising free from any hostile criticism, though a few opposed some of the car toons. The general sentiment with regard to the campus cat was to the effect that it was absolutely O.K. and that tbe only thing needed was more of the same. With on$ or two exceptions the criticisms were mild.
The Trojan presents herewith the opinions of a number of prominent professors and students upon the subject.
Miss Berryman, department of physical education—“I think lt is rather bootless. Nothing to it. Not even clever."
Mr. Findley, department of economics—“I have nothing to say.”
Mr. Olson, department of economics
“Such a cartoon has no place in The Trojan. The space in The Trojan can be used for stories from other colleges to contribute to greater university spirit. Stories from Law, Dental and others make true spirit. The cartoon was a waste of space.
Dr. Hunt, head of the department of economics—“I think it is absolutely
