VISITING VAMP STEALS HEARTS OF S.C. CO-EDS
Men Helplessly Watch Rival Monopolize Attraction of University Women
"Oh. isn't he adorable. And just too
sweet!"
With infinite variations of this remark an admiring bevy of co-eds elusion" around a young gentleman yesterday at the Administration building iitt'ps and plied him with interested questions while numerous U. S. C. men. iiltrrlv forgotten, sulked in envious rape on the lawn at a little distance And well might they feel chagrined for the visitor, who was flirting out raucously, was no mean rival! Attired in freshly creased white trousers, white shoes, belted blue serge coat, smart leather cap and jauntily swing Inn a swagger stick, he caused many a flutter among the girls. And when he fondly kissed a favored co-ed, well! the wistful sighs of the fair witnesses were legion.
The individual in question was not, as might be inferred, the famous Lew: Cody, but a brother of a U. S. C. student.
"My name is Allen Peat,” he announced to his audience, "but I'm not from Denver where Mrs. Peete comes from. I live in Los Angeles, and I'm coming to attend U. S. C. some day. Gee! i hope U. S. C. beats in football Thanksgiving."
"You're qulte*an aristicrat with your swagger stick," some one suggested. The retort was immediate:
"No, I'm not; I'm a Democrat!"
At this juncture a football star who could not calmly see the hero worship so suddenly switched to such a newcomer, intruded and growled jealously;
“Say, how does he get that way?” But the only reply the gridiron hero received from the girls W’as:
"Oh. isn’t he adorable! And just
too sweet!”
Mr. Peat is six years old.

CAST OF ONE THIN IE
EN STUDENTS
Women students from Occidental, S. B. IJ. C., U. S. C. and from the high schools and professional colleges of tbe city heard Dr. Marvin's address on "Women’s Part in Making a New Day" at the All-Student Kally held Tuesday night at the First Baptist Church. Those who attended the meeting declare Dr. Marvin to be a most entertaining as well as inspirational speaker. and his message to have been interesting and timely.
Evelyn Griffin of U. S. C. played a prelude at the opening of the meeting. and Miss Sara Bundy, prominent «odal worker and Instructor at U. S. C.. led the devotional service, following which Dr. Marvin gave his address.
Extorters Infest University Halls
Dear Kditor: • Traps for the pocket-books of the unwary abound in the front halls these days. When the impecunlons student, with beating heart. approaches the clock in the front hall where awaits him the lady °f hi heart, he is immediately besieged On one side are tlie "Spanish Series'' and the "Lance and Lute” booths. On the other the Red Cross makes its appeal, and posters announcing ‘‘Mister Antonio” decorate 'he walls. Not to mention the class build in boards, each one of which 'Bakes imperative announcement that dues must be paid Immediately."
As a means of evading this difficulty students suffering from pecuniary embarrassment, aud their number is legion, no longer use the front hall as a medium of passage from resting Place to resting place. This is a temporary solution of the traffic trouble and might be suggested as a perma j'ent one. Only one reservation should '*e made; tickets should not be foisted uPon unsuspecting victims elsewhere.

It hung there a long time before nny one noticed It. On the surface an Innocent appearing piece of paper, but In reality fraught with significance. Students passing the door of the French office stopped and read it thinking perhaps of its possibilities but never following them up. And then one day Sammy Luki read its message and acted on its impulse.
Going to the guardian of the typewriter in the French office he said: "Most lu/norable lady, here is American dime, for receipt of which I desire to correspond with pretty French girl in accordance with notice posted.’ What could she do, she the keeper of the typewriter? She gave him the first name on the list, Marie Hunie, with the stipulation:
‘‘Remember, Sammy, you must al ways write in French.”
Sammy laboriously penned a composition to Marie, filled with description of his birthplace, a i.alatial Wilshlre mansion, his parents, good Americans of Irish extraction, and other fictions of time and place, all of which sound ed good to Marie. Hut alas, her heart was saddened for she was but a hum ble Japanese maid, she wrote to Sammy, and her name was really Honi.
Imagine Sammy's joy upon receiving this confession. He, who had searched all Los Angeles to find a Japanese maid worthy the name of Suki at last had discovered a jewel of the realm in far away France.
The correspondence flourished. In the month of orange blossoms Sammy Suki leaves for far-away France to claim his promised bride.
All of which means that French students are urged to get a name from ihe French office and carry on a correspondence in Practical French. Who knows but what romance may come to you as it did to Sammy Suki.

Now-a dis play is much-a de good. There is-a much-a de good Itallano man-a in de play. Tony is his-a name. Tony is-a de organ-g/inder, but he is-a rich an-a jus' do it-a for fun. He llke-a to help every bod' because-a he say» There is something damn fool in side me dat make-a me vant to do it-a.”
One day de Mayor of de town vat you call-a de Avalonia, he come-a to de big town and he get-a too much-a de drunk. He lose-a everyting. Tony, he help-a dis Mayor out so he can-a go home. Tony say he do dis because-a be can-a not-a sleep lf-u he not-a help peoples In troubl'.
De saloonkeeper bet a Tony dis here man no be good-a llke-a dat to him if-a he need-a de help. Tony, he like-a make a de mon' off side, so he bet-a de man ten dollars. Six weeks-a later Tony go-a to Avalonia to win-a de bet.

Two thousand tickets have been sold in the advance sale for the IT. S. C.-Oregon game, to be played Thanksgiving Day on Paddock Field, according to those in charge.
Gwynn Wilson declares that the tickets are going like the time-honored hot-cakes, and that the sale will be brought to an abrupt close as soon as the few left are sold. Need more be said?
But “Hank" Bruce, graduate man-4per, gives further warning, when he
ays:
“Practically all the tickets are being bought up by out-of-school people. They are going so fast that the ticket sellers are working on forty-five minute shifts, becoming exhausted with cramped arms. Such a rush on tickets s almost without precedent.”
First come, first servjd, no favorites, no passes. The wise fellow will get his ticket today and not be turned away tomorrow, to miss one of the biggest games of the 1920 season. Whole sections have already been sold, and very
few choice seats are left. All seats are to be reserved.
A large rooting section has been set aside, and the newly organized Koval Rooters' Association are to head a band of lusty yellers, and all who feel qualified to make a tremendous burst of noise will be allowed to have a seat among the mighty. Lindley Bothwell says: "No Ladies Allowed!” so the women will have to sit apart from the objects of their affection.
All day yesterday the seats were clamored for on all sides. The sporting goods houses downtown have consigned large blocks, as has the Los All geles Athletic Club, and they, too, say that there are going to be many turned away after these are gold.
This Is not idle talk. If you are one from Missouri, ask Henry Bruce or Gwynn Wilson, but get your tickets now. Get one for your lady friend, too, but sit in the rooting section and yell for the wearers o' the Cardinal and Gold next Thursday.
Parting Advice: The early bird catches the worm!
With but two games yet to bo played to decide who will represent tbe West at the Tournament of Roses New Year’s Day, the eyes of the West are focused at Berkeley, where the California Bears and the Stanford Cards will tangle In their seasonal tussle next Saturduy.
When the returns have all filtered in and the last bit of dope lias been Up-set, the center of Interest will shift to Southern California, where the U. S. C. Trojans will do battle with Ore gun on Thanksgiving Day at Tourna ment Park.
Bears Favorite*
As the dope stands now, the Hears should register a victory ln the north next Saturday, while the Trojan horde wil' have a fighting chance to ov
Reporter Finds Romance in the Collateral Room
Editor of The Trojan,
Attic of the Journalism Building. Dearest Ed.;
It’s this way. Eddie, I was in the collateral room today to see if it’s still lika it was last year when I was in there, and what do you know about it? A girl smiled at me. Of course there’s nothing to that. A lot of them even laugh at me, but this is the first time this one has even looked at me this year, and besides, she is the one that said that paint and powder are all right for people that have to use them. Anyway, Edward, I thought maybe she liked my new tie or something, so I went and sat down. Goshallhemlock, she grabbed me for a dollar for the Red Cross.
I wonder, Ed.. If you could give me back one of those dollars I loaned you several weeks ago I know we need the money, but I like the Red Cross all right.
Yours needlessly,
CHAUNCEY.

FUTURE OF L. A.
IS THREATENED SAYS GRADUATE
Elizabeth Fulle.', ’20, Discusses L. A. Mexican Housing in Sociological Magazine Article
Mexican Hotislng Problems in Los
ngeles," by Elizabeth Fuller, Is tlie subject of the November issue of “Tlie Sociological Monograph," edited by Dr. Emory Bogardus, of the sociology department.
Elizabeth Fuller received her1 A. H. degree with the class of 1920, from U. S. C.. und iB now under appointment for social service work In China. She received her data for the tract while residing at the Los Angeles Neighborhood Settlement House.
TJie truct deals with the deplorable housing accommodations in the so-alled slums of Los Angeles. The rapid industrial development of the city has drawn thousands of Mexicans, but tho city has not been prepared to take care of the immigrants.
Fifty Mexican homes between Neil-son street and the Los Angeles river, and on Channing street, between Ninth and Fourteenth streets, were systematically visited. In tlieBe houses Miss Fuller found three und four beds to the room, only u makeshift of a stove, and little or no furniture. Plumbing wus totally lacking In many cases.
Miss Fuller believeB thut the lax standard of niorala In these districts results from the housing conditions.
“The city has been forced to Increase her health staff. The dark, unsanitary houses of the Mexicans are constant sources* of tuberculosis. Churches feel that the lax standard of morals cun only be fought with better homes.
“Surely Los Angeles, In spite of high cost of building materials, can build small housus on her wide areas of uninhabited land. Certain districts should also be rebuilt."
In closing, Miss Fuller stated the belief that only by eradicating the growing evil may Los Angeles avoid the poisoning crime-infested slums of the large city.

OFFICERS FOR YEAR
Officers to conduct the affairs of the Choral Union, the official University chorua, were elected at a business session held following the regular re hearsal at the Y hut last Tuesday aft ernoon.
Those chosen are:
Wilbur H Long............President
Venus Wilson .........Vice-president
Helen Tobie ...............Secretary
Le Roy Wolfe..............Treasurer
Glenn Grant ...............Librarian
A. V. Allcott...........Publicity Man
A board of directors to handle tbe details of the business of the organization was also elected It Is com posed of tho above officers and the fol lowing additional members: Miss Harrison, Miss Brillhart and Archie Thornton.
A committee to draw up a constitution was appointed with Archie Thornton as chairman. A social committee was also authorized.
In addition to the chorus work which the society present* each week In the chapel service, work has been started on tbe choruses of Haydn'* oratorio, “The Creation," which will be put on in tlie new auditorium early In the second semester. Professor Horatio Cogswell of the College of Music, who
come tho heavier Oregon gang down boro tho following Thursday. If U. S. C. can win, tho Tournament of Rosea committee will insist on a play-off hot wen tho two schools left undefeated.
There is no doubt nbout California, but there Is with tho southern battle. Under ordinary conditions Ihe Oregon team should bo at least twenty per cent stronger than the Trojan team, but the conditions are far from ordinary, and In that lies tho Trojans' chance to put over another win.
Oregon Under Handicap Oregon pluys Its hardest game on the Saturday preceding the gnine with S. C„ and her opponent will be the Oregon Aggies, a team which Ib pretty liard to stop. Another point is the fact that the Aggies hate Oregon worse than S. C. does California, and when they mix in their annual hruwl it's a light to the finish.
Too Much Travel This will be one of the biggest factors possible ti the outcome of the game down here. Oregon battles the Aggies on Saturday, they rest on Sunday, and start for Southern ('alifornia on Monday. It takes two days and two nights for them to arrive, which should get them here on Tuesday evening: they practice on Wednesday and play Thursday. Now, if any team can complete that schedule und not he the worse for weur, they are some gang of He-men.
I* U. 8. C. Ready7 Whether or not IJ. S, C. will be in condition is tho big point at issue, und us far as It is possible to Judge (which Is a good, long distance in this cuse) the team Is badly out, nnd will have a hard time to get where they will be able to stand the grind, tho punch and the continual hammering that they will bo subjected to.
Team Not Training Of the eleven men who usually start the game five are in good training, but the other six are unywhere from bad to worse. More than one case of drunkenness has been reported, and of those six, there aro flvo who are sllll smoking. All of which tends to help Coach Henderson In his endeavor.
A coach cannot win the game with out tho support of his men, and although the team has had a somewhat successful season a strict unalysls will show a few blots that are not necessary.
U. 3. C. Need* 8tamina.
It was noticeable last Saturduy how much more pep Nevada bad than the Trojans. Those men had travolod, they were not as strong a team us the Trojan eleven, yet they out-fought it every moment. Pomonu wus another good example. U. S. C. should have made two other touchdowns ’uguln*t Pomona whether the Sagehens had u good team or not; but the toum was only Just able to got one by anil make it good for the game.
Condition Will Tell It is too bud that the team cannot back up the coach when there Is such a brilliant prospect for It; but If they go on the way they have been they are certainly in for u good walloping; if not by Oregon, by California. As has been stated, Oregon ought to be pretty badly out of condition when she hits this country, but the California Bears will be raring to go.
Team 8plrit, School Spirit The spirit of the teuin Is certainly reflected in the school, and although tbe student body want* to see a victory, the old willy-nilly Idea of tilings that, up to lust year was so appureut, seems to be staging a come back.
But a factor that was paramount lust season is not so strong this year. The team, other than being a unit, with oue Ideu, is u little bit Inflated in the upper regions, aud is riding pretty for a sweet little day of reck oiling, all of which Isn’t very nice tu think about, but true.
A Fighting Chance The Trojan machine has a chance to do something, but whether or not they have the stuff Inside, bus yet to be proven. U. 8 C. bus tlie beat coach on the Pacific Coast; and the best potential possibilities, but whether the team, or rather a part of It, has the spunk to pull through is yet uuother question.
