U.S.C. GOES OVER TOP IN SEME CAMPAIGN
U. S. C. has gone “over the top” in the service campaign, $1100 having been raised in a little over half the allotted time, Gross Alexander, who is in charge of the campaign, announced yesterday. Fifty per cent of the student body has already subscribed and the committee expects to be able to raise $1800.
Representatives of Liberal Arts have invaded the professional colleges determined to make the campaign there also a success. Paul Wilcox will take charge at Medical; John Robinson and Fred Buschmeyer at Law; John Markey at Music, and Noel George and Franklyn Skeele at Dental college.
Campaign Continues
The campaign will be on for the rest of the week but it will consist largely of personal solicitation. This will be done in order that ^’eryone may have his opportunity to contribute whether he was in school during campaign days or not.
From now on the U. S. C. Service Campaign will be an annual event so that the University may keep its representative in the foreign field.
Selection of the man and the place to which he is to go will be made by a sub-committee appointed by the student body executive committee.
The chairman of the three sub-com-mittees of the Service Campaign, two students appointed by the executive committee, two members of the faculty and one representative of the church mission board of the denomination to which the person chosen belongs will make up this sub-committee.
Those who could go to the foreign field as U. S. C.’s representtives are requested to give tehir names to Margaret Corson.
Special Credit Due
Special credit is due to Miss Corson, chairman of the finance committee, and to Francis Selecman, chairman of the minute man committee for their work during the campaign. The sororities also contributed a great deal by serving punch and acting as solicitors during the morning and a greater part of the afternoon.
TRADITION COURT FINDS
MORE STUDENTS GUILTY
U. S. C.’s traditions were upheld yesterday at 12:30, during a strenuous session of the Traditions Court, in which great excitement was displayed by the crowd which packed the chapel, the annex, and the halls in the vicinity. Every one brought up for trial was found guilty by the jury, and when the jury and officers dispersed, the prisoners escaped, leaving only Lindley Bothwell to take his punishment today. He was excused, through the efforts of Charley Dean, until an indefinite future, when the wThole group will be punished.
Before the trial opened, the proposal was fade by Juryman Charles Casey that the accused have the right of selecting his own law'yer, in order to Insure fairness. To this proposition A. S. B. President, Claude Reeves, replied that it would be too easy to “fix” the testimony, thereby giving the accused an opportunity to give a false alibi.	•
“We’ve got the goods on the people brought before this court,” said Reeves, “and special counsels for the defense are unnecessary.”
Louis D‘Elia, for the defense, then rose and demanded to know “Why have any trial at all?” Applause greeted%is statement, but Reeves answered, by saying that as far as he knew it was unnecessary to have a trial, declaring that if the trial did not work, the student body would ‘‘get something that would.”
Youngsters Fresh Earl Hazelton, juror, then made a brief speech in which he declared that the underclassmen had shown the utmost disregard for the rules of the school and evidently “didn’t give a darn for them.” This contention was upheld by the majority of the upperclassmen.
Paul Wilcox, judge, called the court to order, and John Leadingham came forward as the first to be tried, refusing the assistance of the jailor’s twine handcuffs. He pleaded ‘'not guilty” to the charge of smoking on the campus. Franklin Skeel, as the prosecuting attorney, said the evidence was obvious. Kenneth Clarey, for the defense, asked, "Does your papa know you smoke?” He then maintained that since Lead-
ingham's father allowed him to use the “filthy weed,” he ought not be prosecuted for violating the rules just once.
Lloyd Rogers and Roy Deffebach were not present, so were automatically declared guilty. Marjorie Helf, accused of sitting on the senior bench, failed to appear, so was sentenced to pay an additional one foliar to the University Service campaign.
Convicted
‘‘Doc” *Roscoe pleaded not guilty to queening in the basement windows. Kenneth Clarey, in his defense, said that “Mr. Roscoe is a regular woman hater. He is so bashful that he cannot even talk to the girls when in the halls, let alone in the basement windows.” Roscoe chose to give the Serv ice campaign an additional dollar as his punishment.
Le Roy Reafes, also accused of queening, asked to plead his own case He denounced the methods used by tiie court because they refused to let him know the names of the accusers; refused to offer any witnesses to prove that he was guilty, etc. He was warned against contempt of court, but, as a reward for his brilliant oratory, the customary six spanks were left off his sentence.
Lindley Bothwell was accused of making fun of tne senior gowns. The court considerea tms a grave offense, since the senior gown was representative of superior dignity, which was not to be laughed at by the underclassmen. Bothwell was the only prisoner who did not offer to beat it when the offl cers were not looking.
“Realizing that our court is not perfect,” said Judge Wilcox, “I recommend that all those having grievances against us, publish their criticisms 'in the Letter Box of the Trojan. In this way they can reach the greatest number, which will generally be more beneficial. We will correct all the faults that we can find, and we heartily welcome any efforts for constructive criticism by the students.”

TALK ON CAMPAIGN
DENTISTS1T0 STAGE ENGINEERS PUT ONE BIG MINSTREL SHOW OVER: GET CHARTER
Dr. Francis, one of the best known speakers in California, added greatly to the spirit of the University Service campaign by his address in chapel yesterday noon. He is heartily in favor of the movement and stated that in his opinion it is U. S. C.’s duty towards the crises in which the world at present finds herself.
“The real contribution,” said Dr. Francis, “to this movement is not merely money, but lives. Such a gift from an instituton such as C. S. C. cannot be measured. The present emergency is world wide and must be met by the most favored of countries.
Christianity the Solution “It is hard for the United States to realize the conditions in other countries, even those of her neighbors, the Latin-American republics. If America is to help at all, she must learn to do so. However, iivilization cannot meet barbarism with any success with out the aid of Chritsianity. Thus it must be trained Christian workers who go out to help the world.”
Dr. Francis closed with an urgent appeal to the student body to do their best in the campaign, to realize the need ami to meet it well.
Tooth-Pullers Promise Big Show; Invite Members of All Colleges to Attend
AU of Dental talent is turning out for the minstrel show, which is to come off tonight at the Gamut Club.
The toothpullers promise a big knock-’em-dead show, and to top it all off, there is to be a dance afterwards, with the best orchestra in town.
According to the program, the show will be from 8 o’clock to 10:30,-then the dance from 10:30 until 2 a. m.
The object of the affair is to build up a fund from which upper-classmen of the dental college may borrow money when in need. There are man*-students who, after completing their first two or three years, find it inipon sible to finance the last few months of their educations. It is hoped that the Thursday night affair will raise the fund to it will meet any needs along this line.
The place is the Gamut Club, at 1040 South Hope Btreet; the time is 8 o’clock, and the price of one dollar includes everything.
Securing a national charter in the American Association of Engineers, tlie Engineering Association of U. S. C., is third on the Pacific Coast to obtain such a charter. The University of Washington and the Universit yof Oregon are the only institutions to precede the U. S. C.
The association was first organized here last semester, wtih the aim of receiving the recognition of the American association. Previous to obtaining the national charter, the organization was endorsed and aided by practically ali the large engineering establishments of the city and was instrumental in bringing the engineering department of the University to the attention of outside engineers. In the future the U. S. C. chapter will have full co-operation and assistance from the Los Angeles chapter of the A. A. E., which comprises all the leading engineers of the city.
Meetings of the chapter are held the second and fourth Fridays of each month. Officers of the chapter are: E. K. Albert, president; Hubert Abraham, vice-president; C. N. Dtolam, treasurer, and G. R. Henninger, secretary.
Track stars from U. S. C. are all primed for the annual A. A. U. meet at Pomona College, Claremont, next Saturday. The meet will have a lot to do with giving the southern fans a line on Olympic possibilities. Stars who ha^e never competed against each other will battle Saturday. The Pomona track is considered one of the best in the west, and there is a possibility that several Southern California records wiil go by the boards.
Real competition in the dashes will be lacking for the local stars. Paddock is conceded both the 100 and 220 without having to run fast. W. Yount, of- Redlands University, may beat SchillerorIsenhouer to the line in these races Hawkins, the Fullerton High School man, who won the All-Southern meet, last Saturday, is not conceded a place among the older men. Allen, the Redlands High School super-man, might come through in the 220 and mak^a race of it. He has shown Borne wonderful speed this year, and his poor showing last Saturday was due to a pulled tendon.
George Schiller will have the time of his young life when he tangles in the 440 with Colon Kilby of Redlands. The latter stepped the quarter in 49 seconds two years ago, and has a record of 50 flat against Stanford this year. Clark of L. A. High may show up well.
Captain Gwynn Wilson should have little trouble in the half mile. No real competition, either in colleges or high schools, Is in sight for the Trojan captain.
The mile should be a good race with Noel George, ‘‘Shorty” Miller, Sawyer of Redlands, and Moreman of Pomona, fighting it out. Atwood Scovel, the Manual Arts High School miler, who won the race last year while competing for San Bernardino High School, will run Saturday. He may place. Garner, the San Bernardino boy, who ran Scovel nearly a dead heat last Saturday, will also be in the mile. Neither of these “high” stars can be conceded an assured place this year.
“Bob” Chesnut looks like U. S. C.’s only hope in the hurdles. He may grab a second place behind “Wild Bill” Yount in both races. “Bob” used to be a star hurdler for Redlands High School before Yount began his career as a super man. Yount UBed to run the distances in those days
U. S. C. has a relay team that will give somebody real competition. Redlands U. expects to show well in this race, and Pomona has stepped out with a team and a claim for first place. The relay team will be composed of Schiller, Wilson, Wilcox and Chesnut.
‘ Swede” Evans should have a fairly easy time grabbing the weight events. Widdess of Pomona seems to be on the down grade, and is not ttye weight man lie was last year, or even a few months ago. The Pomona star seems unable to get the old-time heave on the platter this year. Green of Stanford beat him with a toss of 124 feet. His shot throws have never been better than
