GREATER UNIVERSITY U. S. C. BEAT BOTH
Friday, June 6, in the Art Building at Exposition Park, at 8 p. m., the Greater University reception will be held. Come early and stay late, or you will be sure to miss something good.
This is the second big affair given by the A, W. S., and it promises to be very good. The Student Body presidents of the various colleges. Dr. and Mrs. Bovard, Mrs, Mackey and the presidents of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. will stand in the receiving line.
The program will be as follows: An introductory speech by Dr. Bovard; reading by Mildred Vorhees of College of Oratory; piano solo by Ruth Marie Smith of the College of Music; vocal solo by Hester Billingsley from College of Music; cornet solo by Paul Elliot; orchestra numbers by an orchestra under direction of Mr. Perry.
Who says U. S. C. hasn’t a debating team? Even if we don’t support them as well as we ought to, they sure can put it across. Last Thursday at the Y. M. C. A. Hut we beat Occidental
2-1	on the question: “Resolved that the government should furnish employment to surplus labor.” Our representatives, Calvin Lauderbach, Roscoe White, and Lambert Baker, took the negative side of the question.
The same night, at Stanford, Claude Reeves, Louis D’Elia, and Leroy Reams, representing the affirmative on the same question, beat Stanford
3-0.
If we win the Oratorical Contest tonight it will mean that U. S. C. has won every debate and Intercollegiate contest this year. Hurrah for S. C.!

ALUMNI MAGAZINE TO BE PUBLISHED SOON
Hear Ye! O most revered and respected Faculty! We, who have suffered under your lectures, indeterminate in length and dull in subject-matter; who have laughed at your decrepit jokes, out of veneration to their age—we have awakened! No longer do your names fill us with terror. No longer vill we submit to the tyrannies of former days. We will arise and strike for freedom. We will prove our glorious supremacy, and to this end we do challenge you to meet us in a struggle to the death in a glorious game of baseball! We will prove our cleverness and strategy over your fond futile theories. We will make you ashamed to face those shining countenances of youth and innocence which are daily forced to listen to the bunk which you pass out. Choose your weapons and prepare for a future warmer existence in another world!
Your fate is sealed!
(’LASS OF NINETEEN
The Graduate Students of U. S. C. are to publish an “Alumni Magazine”! The first copy will be out a few days after Commencement. Every graduate of IT. S. C. may subscribe, and, of course, the greater number of subscriptions procured, the greater the magazine.
The subscription price is only $1, and in return the magazine will contain all the news of Alumni of the University. It will be a veritable gold mine of joy to graduates who have been away from the school a long time and who are now unfamiliar with the whereabouts of their classmates.
The Graduate Class will meet on Wednesday at 11:45 in the Cafeteria to discuss the progress of the enterprise.
Seniors will take up the matter at their meeting Tuesday morning, as they w'ill be Alumni when the maga zine is printed.
If all the Alumni will boost the Alumni Magazine, there is no reason why it will not be a grand success!
Mr. Elmer C. Henderson, renowned throughout the West for. his coaching ability, has been appointed athletic director for the coming year.
Mr. Henderson was previously employed for four years as football coach and teacher In the Broadway High School of Seattle, Washington. He displayed a wonderful knowledge of modern football while he was there and coached many winning teams. He was highly recommended by Gll-mour Dobie from the University of Washington.
For the past year Coach Henderson has been engaged as athletic organizer and director in the United States Naval Station at Seattle, under the auspices of the Navy Commission on Training Camp Activities. There he has shown unusual executive ability by organizing the whole camp under an extensive athletic program. When he arrived there the athletic activities were in a deplorable condition through lack of a competent coach. His ability as football coach stands paramount and he seems to have phenomenal ability in developing teams in a very short time.

LA TERTULIA PROGRAM A COLORFUL AFFAIR
Wednesday evening the last program of La Tertulia was held at the Y. M. C. A. Hut with characteristic Spanish life, and the evening was happily arranged. The first number was a little composite sketch of Spanish home life. Professor Ramos gave a colorful descriptive talk in Spanish on the picturesque Mexican "Venice,” near Mexico City. Sarah ltykoff starred in a charming little one-act play, "Love in the Dark.” A Spanish dance, “La Jola,” was pleasantly executed by Miss Sesma and Mr. Loyola. A large number of Spanish people from different parts of the city were present and added greatly to the interest of the meeting.
JOINT MEETING OF LITERARY SOCIETIES
The Clionian held its regular meeting last Tuesday evening, at which the new officers were installed. Miss Helen Fletcher, this year’s president, was presented with a gavel as a token of appreciation.
Clionian also announces a joint meeting of the literary societies tonight at 8 o’clock in the “Y” Hut.
The basis of Dr. Holborn's lecture was a discussion of the relations between civilization or good citizenship (both of which words come from the same root, "civis,” a citizen) and art. Civilization and art are alike in that they stress both the perfection of the component parts of the work of art and the harmonious relation of all these parts to the beauty and unified perfection of the whole. It is true that to the truly civilized man, life and living are works of art, for he tries not only to make the parts of his life fair in themselves, but also to unify them into accordance with an ideal.
While it is not necessarily true that the artist is fully civilized, since he may overestimate the value of his own particular sphere. In the relations of life as a whole it true that the highly civilized man is necessarily an artist, since he tries to construct his light and surroundings with artistic ideals and with artistic proportions.
People devoted to a single fad, such as Browning extremists, Christian Scientists, Single Taxers, et cetera, lack a balanced view of life in its completeness. So does the merely “practical” man. The practical man is the man who can only do. While the theoretical man, by the very etymology of the word, is the man who understands what and why he is doing. The first works by rule of thumb, the second applies his intellect, the merely practical man lacks forethought and is interested in only immediate means. The theorist knows the end which he seeks to attain. This is strikingly illustrated in the development of the modern city at the bauds of merely practical man. A city intelligently planned, with a view to the final result would be gradually developed into a beautiful, habitable, harmonious whole.
The lecture as a whole, therefore, was a plea for the development of tin* individual into a full, well-rounded personality, cultivated on all sides, and able to appreciate all things in their proper proportionate values.
