CHARLES DEAN CHOSEN FOOTBALL CAPTAIN
All-Pacific Halfback Will
Be At the Helm of the Trojans
Charley “Dynamite” Dean, star half back, will captain the battling Trojan football next season. The election of Dean came yesterday at a meeting of the varsity football letter winners.
The vote for captain was a complimentary one on the part of the football men with Jimmy Smith being the other candidate. Both men are all-state selections for the past two years. Dean was selected by many as all Pacific Coast halfback this year.
Dean will step into the shoes of “Antwerp” Swede Evans, who responded to the toss of the coin during the past successful season.
Freshman Say They Like U.S.C. After One Semester Here
Dean All Football
Dean is every inch a football player, ip fact, he is considered one of the greatest men who ever wore the cardinal and gold. He plays football from the first whistle until the final shot of the timer’s gun.
During the past season he was the individual star of every game in which he participated. In the Stanford game he ploughed through the line for great gains, he was a kingpin on smearing the passes of the cardinals and was one of the hardest men Stanford ever hit, according to their own confession.
Four Touchdowns at Once In the Nevada game Dean contributed four of the five Trojan touchdowns, ploughing through the line for each one. The Nevada men were unanimous in saying that Dean should be an All-American selection.
The Oregon game found the new captain at the best game of his career. He repeatedly shoved through the "world famous" Oregon line for large gains. Twice he smashed through for touchdowns.
Resembles a Hero Dean gives one the feeling of seeing a football hero. He has curly hair, wears a roughneck sweater around his shoulders before the game, and would make a fit hero for any football story ever written.
This is his second year on the varsity, last year he was a sensation, and was picked as All-State half back. This year, his success was even more pronounced and he was given a berth on the All-Pacific Team by all of the critics who saw him in action. Many are firmly of the conviction that Walter Camp could not overlook such a player as Dean If he waa playing on an eastern team.
Comes from Calexico Dean hails from Calexico High School where he shone before coming to U.S.C. During the war he was in the navy and played a star position on tho Balboa Park Naval team.
He is a member of Delta Beta Tau fraternity and is a junior ln the university.
BandjTo Play At Pasadena New Years
“U. S. C.'s band will participate in the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena on New Years Day.”
This was the statement given out last night on the receipt of a letter from the Tournament of RoBes committee asking the band of the University of Southern California to march in the parade at Pasadena on New ■ ear’s Day. News of the honor was received with gratification by students ®nd members of the band alike.
The band which will represent U. S C. will consist of twenty-live pieces. The new uniforms, which are blue and very distinctive in appearance, •ill be worn on the occasiou. The wind will also play at the football Same between the University of C'ali-'ornia and Ohio State in the after noon, U was learned
First Year Students Like School, Although Interviewed Just After Wampus Was Out.
Whether they thought U. S. C. would be worse for their praises or better for their criticisms, most of the freshmen men und women would only commit themselves to praises of U. S. C. when interviewed as to what they thought of the University after a semester’s acquaintance. (The reporter will not vouch for the seriousness of these lai|3its, as most of the victims discovered they were speaking for print.)
The interviewing took place yesterday morning just after Wampus’ jokes had ‘‘soaked in” and left everyone speechless. Then, it was before 10 a.m., which was before breakfast for most of the co-eds.
Lowell Trautman, frosh president, said, “I wouldn’t trade U. S. C. for any university in the universe, despite the fact that the freshmun received a very damp reception at the hands of the sophomores.
‘‘Before coming to U. S. C„ I heard much of the lack of school spirit here; but I am especially heartened by the spirit exhibited in the freshman class.” “Sari Walpole,” in real life Marquis Bushby, the wild and wayward preacher’s son in ‘‘Mister Antonio,” revealed that “U. S. C.’s girls are fine. There’s nothing like ’em on any stage.” He made no exception to this statement, including all burlesque theaters, musical comedies, and risque farces.
Clara Gilbert: “I heard all about U. S. C. from my big sister, and it surely has lived up to my expectations. I intended to finish my college educa tion at Stanford, but I changed my mind ufter I had been here just one month.”
“Marvelous, wonderful, were the epithets of Katherine ‘‘Kitten’’ Eliza-beth Kinder applied to U. S. C. To aid her voice. Miss Kinder struck an attitude and clasped her hands at her heart (We still don’t know whether she was thinking of U. S. C. as a personified lover or a real flesh and blood man.)	n
Paul Garver exploded, U. h u. in a wonderful example of a democratic institution in a large city.” ••Heroditus” (so he says) Thompson Brown, who sometimes writes for the Trojan, declared, “U. S. C. means much to me. ’I’ve never had such good times in my life.”
“I liked U. S. C. at flrst, and I liked it better at last,” announced Edna Josephine Foley, but still she Is uncertain of how much she likes t. 1 have lots of fun here,” she suid de-

Jiflerrg Christmas, jfoltis!
Today, marks the passing issue of the Trojan for the year 1920. When the first issue appears after the Christmas holidays, the Trojan will start another year of life. Here we could go into history regarding the struggling past of the sheet, but we much prefer to let it be forgotten in the presence of the achievements of 1920.
Since the first issue of 1920 the paper has had a policy of “Forward.” Right after the sand had shifted through the old hour glass in 1919 the Trojan presented the appearance of a piece of mighty poor foraging on the part of the family cat.
As the expression goes, at the beginning of the year, all the Trojan needed to complete the funeral appearance was a lily in its right hand.
With rejuvenation overflowing, experience trips to outside papers, more ads in every issue, increased spirit on the part of the staff, and general enthusiasm all around, the Trojan started a campaign to better itself. Whether this attempt has been successful or not must be decided by the student body. By the way that the stacks of papers disappear in the mornings we are led to believe that they are used for something.
Our sincere hope at this time is that we may make as much progess with the paper in 1921 as was made during the past year.
Let us at this time wish everybody a Merry Christmas— yea, even a Joyous Yuletide if you would have it so—and an exceedingly Happy New Year and New Year’s Eve.

‘Fifty-seven varieties of clubs have been unearthed on the campus of U. S. C., and they range in scope and purpose from missionary work to clandestine dances.
A canvas of the campus brought to light many organizations which hitherto had not hinted of their existence. Some were found to be mere spectres of tbeir former days of glory, but on the whole they were found to be quite an active corps, each filling a niche within Its own sphere. None need to apologize for their existence.
Literary Group Well Represented Probably the largest single branch of clubs is that devoted to literary efforts. Comita, its sister society, Cll-onia, and Aristo, with Its sister body, the Athenians. The Press Club, an organization of hurdened copy catchers, claims much prestige ln the literary firmament of the University. The Quill Club, a national organization of college amateur writers, has a very active chapter at U. S. C.
Physicial Education Has Strong Societies
Athletic clubs also are quite varied, there beiug no less than seven distinct bodleB purposing to emphasize the value of physical education. The Gym Club, the Physical Education Society, Boys’ and GlrlB’ Tennis Clubs, a champion bunch of racquet wielders, the Hiking Club, and the Swimming Club comprise a formidable aggregation Cute Names Catch Ear There ia a group of societies which, though In a measure quite distinct from each other, have names very pleasing to the ear Palette and Brush Is an art society; Skull und Dugger and Torch and Tassel are composed of senior men and women respectively. The junior class also have joint societies. Sphinx and Snakes, and Spooks and Spokes. Lance and Lute is a society made up of oratory students.
Bible Expounders Organized Religious activities are competently handled by the Student Volunteers, a band of embryo missionaries, and the Pauline Association, a group of theological scholars.
Language societies embody La Tertulia and Circle Francaise. Engineers point with pride at their Star Delta, the Architectural Club, and the A. A. E., U. S. C. chapter. Law students have a men’s aud women's society, Continued on Page Eight

To Meet Needs
This afternoon’s display of suitable apparel for the college woman and man who desire to "dress the part” of people of refinement and good taste has been planned to meet the needB of every student.
The models have not been chosen because they represent any fixed ideal as to size, color of hair or size of shoes, but because each can display to good advantage clothing appropriate for her or his own particular style.
Not Price—Taste
It Is a recognized fact that the woman or man who knows how to dress suitably can make the most of money expended on wearing apparel. Many times, the girl who wears ultra-expensive clothing doeB not appear as well as one who chooses moderately priced dress which Is becoming.
How and when to wear the different kinds of togs displayed will be a part of the educational Instruction of today's program.
Attractive Program
An attractive intermingling of special numbers haB been arranged for the display. The Delta Beta Tau orchestra will furnish music almost continuously throughout the forty-five minute demonstration. Interior decorators from Robinson’s have spent thought and time upon the process of transforming the Y hut into u place of beauty.
The program is as follows:
