With ominous brows and measured step the members of the President’s Student council late yesterday afternoon entered room 14 of the College of Liberal Arts, locked the doors, and proceeded to discuss ways and means of dealing with the recalcitrants who last Monday night painted the “S. C.” monogram 011 the front steps of Occi-1 dental college.
Previous to the meeting, which lasted for a considerable time, Manfred Evans, president of the student body, and chairman of thc council, refused pointblank to divulge to a “Trojan” representative what bad occurred in tbe meeting.

student leader.
“What we do in regard to this matter is not for publication,” said thc student body head.
It is alleged, however, that the council haled the two leaders of" last Monday night’s escapade before the house and reprimanded them severely.
Furthermore, it is rumored that the council voted to send a communication to Occidental college explaining that the "S. C.” monogram was placed 011 the Tiger steps by irresponsible and unrepresentative students from this institution, and to extend the hope that last Monday’s unpleasant affair would in no way interfere with the present growing friendly relations between the two colleges,

I’M READY 10 GO 10 WAR IF NEED BE’-DR. BOVARD
-ilDEJd sjpx ^isjaAiufi jo tuapisaj,] cal Patriots’ League National Sacrifice Is Supreme Duty
“I am ready to go to war, if needed,” said Dr. George F. Bovard, president of the University, before the recently organized Practical Patriots’
league, which was in session at the Chester Place residence of its president, F.. L. Doheny, local oil magnate. This was the initial meeting of a monster campaign being launched for funds and for enlistments in the naval militia.
“Our duty is to prepare against war and to save lives by being prepared for it,” asserted the head of U. S. C-"We must get the young people to see that this is a great country—that it is their duty to make sacrifices for it and to defend it under all circumstances.
“A spirit which does not tend to make patriots lias been fostered in this country for some years. It is the spirit which would make war upon classes—set one class against the other. This makes real patriotism difficult. In the young we find independence. but I also believe in authority. I believe in government and in loyalty to government.”
Many thousands of dollars were contributed to aid in supporting tbe families of men who enlist in the navy.
Other addresses during the evening were made by Prof. Paul Arnold of the mathematics department of U. S.
C., Dr. Norman Bridge, General Harrison Gray Otis, Rev. J. Wbitconib Brougher, W. I). Woolwine, II. Jevne,
| W’att Moreland, Dr. Alfred Soil and Harold L. Arnold.
