STANFORD, U.S.C. IN FINAL CONTEST
VEARERS OF S. C. ELECT OFFICERS FOR THE TERM
Varsity Club Will Initiate Members at Oxy-U. S. C. Baseball Game Wednesday
The S. C. Varsity Club is now a reality. All wearers of the Trojan monogram are united in the newly organized society, formed for the purpose of developing a fraternal spirit among athletes, of bettering athletics, »nd of furthering the athletic interests of the University.
At a meeting held last Tuesday evening the constitution and by-laws of the society were adopted. Following this, officers were elected to serve for the remainder of the year: J. Paul Beale, president; Roland Dahlgren, vice-president; Ronald F. Stannard, secretary-treasurer.
To Standardize Monograms There is a committee now at work i the standardization of monograms for each sport. The football block S.C. was decided on prior to issuing the sweaters to this year’s team. The monograms for all other branches are being planned now.
One of the first official acts of the club was the appointment of Lindsay Gillis as manager of baseball. Gillis is a slab artist of good repute, and better performance, and the one reason tor the non-appearance of his name in te inter-collegiate box scores is that k is a. transfer in his first year, and » not eligible. However, Gillis has teen out on the field every afternoon kelping coach the team and assisting Coach Henderson in every way pos-lible. His appointment as baseball manager is a fitting recognition of his loyalty to the team and to the University.

The club will commence active oper-•tions next Wedesdnay afternoon, »hen the winners of monograms for basketball, track, baseball and tennis receive their public initiation. This initiation will commence at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and continue Wring the baseball game between JJ- S. C. and Occidental College.

10 QUEEN OR m 10 QUEEN—THAT IS THE QUESTIONER DEBATE
What Is to Be Done With Coeds? Will Be Discussed
‘WE HAVE WITH US THIS EVENING—’
Three of the University’s best debaters who will meet the Stanford team in tlie local chapel this evening. They are, from left to right: J. Calvin Lauderbach, Louis D’Elia and Claude L. Reeves.
SENIORS STEP ON FROSH
PLANS WHEN GIRL TELLS
Should co-education be abolished at U. S. C.? Is queening detrimental to the progress of students? Would con-* ditions be better if students were restricted in their communications with the opposite sex to after-school hours only?
These momentous questions will be discussed today in the chapel at noon, when Leroy Reams, “Don” Warner, “Whitey” Perkins, and Francis Selecman will engage in a debate on the question, “Resolved, That co-education should be abolished at U. S. C.” Warner and Reams will defend queen-proof education, while Perkins and Selecman will uphold the present system.
The foregoing debate is only one of the features promised by John Robinson, manager of the debating team, for the Stanford-U. S. C. debate rally in the chapel at 11:40. According to Robinson, this will be the last big rally of the season.
The U. S. C. band will be there and give a demonstration of its noiselest possibilities.
President Bovard will speak
Billie Heinze will recite ‘‘A Wasted Rehearsal.”
Everett Mattoon, a former debater and U. S. C. student body president, will speak.
Coach Blanks of the College of Oratory and the debating team, will be there and will tell of their plans for the evening when they will meet Stanford.
Said the frosh, “We ll cut.”
Said the senoirs, “You’ll not.”
That is the beginning and end of the elaborate plans made by the freshmen class to have a sneak day. That is, the Alpha and Omega of the desires of the freshman to boost themselves to the level of seniors.
Idea Shocks It all came about in this manner. Some live wire members of the infant class conceived the idea that a freshman sneak day would cause a riot.
He was right,^even the skeletal idea caused a riot.
Plans were made, transportation arranged, and entertainment provided, for a day’s outing in Santa Monica canyon today.
Girl Spills Beans But the “beans were spilled and the plans went bust."
innocent freshman girl went to her professor and said, "I won’t be here Friday. I have to go with the freshmen on their sneak day. May I be excused?”
No one knows what the professor answered, but the whole school knows what he did. He hot-footed it to the office and informed the powers that be.
The results of his trip rather made the freshmen blink.
The office informed all concerned that any freshman absent from classes would be accredited with two cuts. That was plenty; but, to make matters worse, some professors promised that they would hold the final exams today!
As a consequence, in the opinion of upper classmen, there are more blatantly offensive freshman cluttering up our halls today than there have been
