CODEX STAFF GIVES PROGRAM FOR PREPS
IS THIS A CASE OF CARELESSNESS?
To The Editor:
Many have been made a bit uncomfortable by the announcement of at least two social functions in the college life during Passion Week. At the very time when the greater part of the Christian world is turning aside for the special remembrance of the last days of our Lord, and when around the world there is an attitude of reverence and prayer, it is a bit unseemly for the students of a Christian institution to give those days to social pleasure. This incongruity is especially emphasized since the Methodist Episcopal church has this year officially called us to special observance of Passion Week. Haven’t we sufficient reverence, or is there a shallowness of character so great that we can utterly disregard the world at prayer, even if we have no disposition to pray ourselves?
I can only think that this condition is due to thoughtlessness.

Coach Cromwell Gives Out Names of Trojan Entrants
Outcome of Contest Appears to Hinge Upon Results in Second and Third Places; Elimination of Javelin Throw May Aid U.S.C.
The combined Glee Clubs will give a concert at the First M. E. church, in Pasadena, this evening. This will be the last concert of the two clubs before vacation.
Next week, on Thursday, the Men’s Club will sing in the chapel, and vacation week will go on the northern trip.
After vacation other concerts will be scheduled, and it is hoped by the manager that a week-end trip to Riverside will be possible. Concerts have been held every Friday night and almost every Saturday night for some weeks, and in the opinion of the two clubs, the vacation is very much needed.

OPPOSED BViPROFS.
Drs. Wood and Dixon Believe Teachers Should Not Employ Trades Union Methods
When interviewed as to his stand on tlie proposed teachers’ union. Professor Paul Spencer Wood of the English department said:
“I am decidedly against professors using trades union methods."
Professor Wood believe that the matter of higher salaries for teachers should be worked out through education of the public. When the public knows of the years^ of preparation necessary to become a good teacher and realizes the necessity for having good teachers, salaries will automatically be raised. He does not believe in direct action, but is of the opinion that the matter will work itself out in the course of time.
Neither is Dr. James Main Dixon of the department of Oriental studies in sympathy with the movement to join a Teachers’ Union. The associations which teachers would form if this should happen would become too mercantilists.
“I would regrt t it,” said Dr. Dixon, “if the teachers should join a union.”
ENGINEERING A8SN. HIKE
All members of the Engineering Association who are planning to go on the hike to Fern Lodge, March 27 and
28,	should see Ii. Abrahms, Rawley, or Charles Miller today.
U.S.C. will clash with the track and field artists from California tomorrow afternoon at Bovard Field. The meet is scheduled for 2:30 o’clock.
Coach Walter Christie, accompanied by twenty athletes, left the northern camp Thursday evening for Los Angeles. Wednesday they defeated the combined teams of the University of Redlands and Pomona College by an 80 to 42 count.
Local followers of collegiate sport who predicted a victory for the Trojans tomorrow were forced to amend their hopes when an authority no less than Coach Dan B. Cromwell predicts an easy victory tor the Bruins, probably by twenty or thirty points. The most favorable dope concedes U.S.C. 59 points and U.C. 79; and the most pessimistic, U.S.C. 52 and U.C. 86. If the javelin is not hurled 9 points will be deducted from California's score, but even that will leave the Bears with two points to spare.
Hutchison Looks Dangerous As usual the local cinderpath craw has a superb collection of star track men, and as usual it lacks high-class field performers and second and third place men in the running events. Charley Paddock, “Spec” Schiller and “Big Bill” Isenhouer ought to gather at least two places in the century. They will have no ea#y time of it, however, for the Bears will enter a young man, Hutchison by name, who has been clocked in the event at 10 1-5 seconds.	—
Schiller ought to win the 440-yard dash without great difficulty. California has no men in this event who have stepped the course in less than 50 seconds, while the local boy ran the quarter in practice last week in
49	3-5 seconds. Hendrixon, from Chino high school, is the Northerners’ best bet in this race. Isenhour and “Cap” Wilson of U.S.C. both have a good chance to place in fhe quarter.
Discus Cinch In the discus throw “Swede” Evans stands in a fair way to nab the honors. He can sail the platter around 125 feet, which is about 10 feet better than the best mark of Cort Majors, the Berkeley crowd’s premier hurler. Jimmy Smith, he of local football fame, tried his hand at heaving the discus last week for the first time and sent it spinning 110 feet. His good right arm may carry him into third place in this act.
The 220-yard dash, of course, is U.S.C.’s without a protest, with Paddock and Schiller skipping. Calden, California, has a record of 22 3-5 in this race and will keep the Trojans from loafing.

Mile run, Sprott, time, 4 min. 37 2 5 sec.; 100-yard dash, Hutchinson, time,
