660 Liberal Arts Students
Contribute Over $6000
With returns In from 660 Liberal Arts students, the Y. M.-Y. W. war fund today went above the $6000 mark. Of this amount the greater portion was pledged by the Y. W. C. A., their total reaching $3800. If the campaign is continued as it has started until Friday afternoon, it seems probable that the $10,000 mark will be passed.
The campaign will be started Monday at the Colleges of Law, Dentistry, Medicine, Fine Arts, and Music. The work which has met with such enthusiastic support at Liberal Arts will no doubt receive substantial backing from the professional colleges.
DEBATES WIIH OTHER COLLEGES ARRANGED
MEN WHO WILL RECEIVE BOWEN FOUNDATION PRIZES ARE NOW HARD AT WORK
FROSH GIRLS WIN IN BASKETBALL
Sixteen men in the University are hard at work now under the direction of Coach William Palmer preparing material for the various intercollegiate debates to be held this year . The men who will represent the University of Southern California and College of Liberal Arts are Claude Reeves, Calvin Lauderbach, William Pfeifer, Harold Brewster, E. D. Hoffman, Harvey Wendt, Claire White, Wayne Mullin, Harry Griffin, George Bird, Roy Bose, Roscoe Gould, and Hugh Lockhart.
As is the custom each year, the Bowen Foundation prizes will be awarded to six of the men showing the most proficiency In debating. An endowment which has been generously donated to the University by Attorney William M. Bowen furnishes the wherewithal for the prizes which consist of six beautiful loving cups.
Debates have now been definitely arranged with Stanford, Occidental, Pomona, Whittier, San Diego Junior College, besides several debates for freshmen only.
The University High school has also taken an active interest in the work, and has raised $332 toward the uplift work. The boys competed with the girls. Lorraine Knoles, chairman of the girls’ committee, which was made up of Marian Long, Norma Whiteside, Dorothy Knoles, Mary McDill and Elizabeth Speicher, enlisted $175. The boys collected notes for $147. They were led by Paul Greely. Other members of the boys’ committee were Pete Knoles, Arthur Morley, Dan Miller,and “Bill ’ Boyan.
Letters from U. S. C. students at the front tell of the good work of the Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. hopes to enlarge its scope by means of the appropriations collected from the students, who are allowed several months in which to pay their donations.
The last assembly was held at the University Wednesday to rally the S. C. students to give to the fund “until it hurts.” Work from now on is left to the individual members of the Y. M., who are canvassing the remainder of the student body. The yellow button is seen on many men’s coat lapels and on many girls’ waists. The Y. M. hopes to make yellow the popular decoration afc the University. The button-hole bouquet is giving way to the lapel button.
TORCH AND TASSEL IS TO STAGE PLAY
“The American Girl on Trial,’’ a one act play, will be given in the chapel Tuesday at 11:40, by the Torch and Tassel society. Miss Althea Hendrickson, a graduate of the College of Oratory has the leading part and is supported by many of the prominent girls of the University. Miss Hendrickson’s role will be “The Spirit of America."
By giving this performance, tlie honorary society hopes to show its loyalty and deep interest in the attitude of U. S. C. girls towards the present problems.

Young, Haygood Ardis, Norman Anderson, Carol Bird, Richard Bird, Ed Howard, Charles Johnson, Marion Haab, Don Dallas, Harry Willis, Price Dunlavy, Bert Ben Levinson, Hugh Lockhart and Dean Macomber.

#	monster blaze this year. All members of the class are urged to heartily co-operate with the wood-gathering c°mmittee.
DEBATING MEN ARE
Again the freshmen conquer! ! This time the freshmen girls wiped the sisterly sophs completely off tho map in a pratice basketball game Wednesday afternoon to the rhythm of 18 to 7. in the first 15-minute half the young ones had it all their own way, running up a score of 9 as compared to their opponent’s 1. In the second, however, a fatality in the ranks of the sophomores enabled them by considerable diplomacy to substitute two husky junior girls who immediately started to reverse the score. Luckily, time was called before they had a chance to do much damage and when the final whistle blew the freshmen had again made nine points to the “sophs’ ” six.
The work of the freshmen forwards was notably good, as was the passing of the center. It is predicted that the members of the freshmen team in this practice game will compose the regular freshmen team.
Following are the lineups: Freshmen Girls:
June Raynor, j. center Myrtle Sloan, r. center Fern Levering, guard Althea Hendrickson, guard Dorothy Misner, forward Mildred McKim, forward Sophomore Girls;
Hortense Hannum, j. center Elizebeth Wahl, r. center Verna Beam, guard Romana Rensberger, guard Mary Boyd, forward Laura Nimeyer, forward Louise Jenkins substituted Mary Boyd who in turn took the place of Hortense Hannum.
The members of the local chapter of Delta Sigma Rho gave an informal dinner at the Delta Beta Tau House last Wednesday evening for the men who were placed upon the University debating squad.
A short program of. toasts was presided over by Walter Watson, president of the organization. Dr. Emory S. Bogardus was the leading speaker of the occasion. After a brief history of the National Fraternity which is second to none except Phi Beta Kappa, he urged that the organization take an active part in civic and national affairs.
Emery Olson, former debater and assistant coach at Cornell, spoke on the genesis of the local chapter. Coach William Palmer outlined the program and the policy of the coining year. Jack Wendt, last year’s manager told of tli* value of debating in practical life and Neal Ames laid stress upon hard work combined with ability. Other members present were, Lester Cox, Harold Brewster, Harvey Wendt, Harry Griffin and E. Dow Hoffman. The invited guests included, William Pfeiffer, Wayne Mullen, Claire White, Claude Reeves, J. C. Lauderbach, Hoy Bose, Roscoe Gould and R. F. Bird.

‘SOPHS’ TO ABANDON DISTINCTIVE DRESS
The members of the sophomore class have decided to abandon the tradition of a distinctive class apparel. President Bovard, Professor Montgomery and the members of the faculty heartily endorsed the idea.
“I am thoroughly in favor of anything that tends to express a spirit of economy and patriotism in these war times,” said President Bovard.
Professor Montgomery also approves. “I think this is an excellent way to show the loyalty of the class to their University and establish an example of self-sacrifice in this period of national crisis.”
The resolution of the sophomore class follows:
“Whereas, In view of present conditions and the necessity of personal sacrifice for our country and our country’s defenders, the members of the sophomore class do hereby resolve to abandon the ancient tradition of a distinctive class apparel.”
S. C. and Fort Mac Arthur Regulars to Stage Battle
Coach Cromwell’s Pets All In Good Shape To Put Up Hard Came—Soldiers Are Unknown Quantity— Proceeds Go To Men
Publicity Rises With War Bread; Film to Show Work of Co-eds
LAW GRADUATE BECOMES SERGEANT IN NATIONAL ARMY AT AMERICAN LAKE
Owen C. Emery, graduate of the College of Law, and member of the firm of Einery and Rehart has been made a top sergeant at ('amp Lewis according to a letter received recently by local friends. Emery appears to be very enthusiastic over army life.
FORMER FOOTBALL PLAYERS
ARE VISITORS AT CAMPUS
Carl Speer and Pete Isenor,' former Liberal Arts football men were visitors at the campus yesterday. Both men enlisted in the signal corps last July, but only recently received their call. They will leave for Camp Lewis next Wednesday.
Speer has been working in a sugar factory at Huntington Beach while waiting for his call to the colors, and Isenor has been driving a caterpillar. Pete, however, says he has no desire of operating one of the British tanks in “no man’s land.”
Carl and Pete expect to be present at Saturday’s game with the Fort MacArthur team.
Civilian will battle soldier tomorrow when Dean Cromwell’s Trojans hook up with Lieutenant Osborne's Fort MacArthur eleven in a battle royal on Bovard field. Contrary to general belief, the Fort MacArthur team is not the one which was defeated 30 to 7 by Occidental last Saturday, but is composed of men of a different branch of the service, and is said to be a much stronger aggregation.
The S. C. men are all ln good shape for Saturday’s fray. "Rabbit" Malette’s right hand, which was badly injured in the St. Mary’s game, is practically as strong as ever, which means that the shifty little backfield star will have an opportunity of showing some of his real form against the soldier boys. Orrie Hester received a cracked rib in last Saturday’s rough house with the Camp Kearny men, but it has healed rapidly and is not giving him much trouble at present.
JIM REDUCES
Jim Campbell has been steadily losing weight since the season opened, and is in excellent shape for tomorrow. The big Trojan guard is both literally and figuratively a “bulwark of defense.”
Art Taylor will start the game at left end in place of Joslin. Art, who has been starring as a defensive center whenever Hester has been injured, played end through part of tho San Diego game, and showed up so well that he may hold down the Job regularly.
“TOBE” TO PLAY
George "Tobe” Oertly, a last year’s “frosh” and varsity player, will start at right half. "Tobe” has been working on a wheat ranch in Canada until .ecently, and although late in entering the University, has rapidly gotten into condition. He has been drafted, but has applied for exemption. His case is to be decided today, and followers of football are hoping that he will be allowed to remain in school, as his presence in the Utah and California struggles would be a big help to the varsity.
HUNTER GOING WELL "Turk” Hunter played a great game last Saturday according to all reports and is due to pull some good stuff against the Fort boys tomorrow. He will hold down his regular job as fullback.
There are no eligibility rules for tomorrow’s contest, and Cromwell is expected to avail himself of the privilege of using some of bis star freshman players. Lucas has a few wounded ribs, but he is used to these and it Is not thought that they will interfere with his playing.
A “DARK HORSE”
The lineup of the Fort MacArthur eleven is a mystery. However, it is known that the men are regulars, and that their numbers include some real football artists. It is possible that a few of the men who showed up strongest against Occidental will get into the fight. Buckmaster and Fawcett, two Whittier college phenoms, and Ed Whitcomb, former Trojan, are men whom Osborne may decide to use.
It is said that the soldiers are eon-
We got our name in the papers! It was on page one of the Times— page one of part II!
When Mrs. Charles Spencer stated that she was going to demonstrate the process of war-bread-making at the University cafeteria, yesterday, the plan met with shouts of approval, judging from the crowd which turned out.
Four reporters who gave us some write-ups were on the scene and took some wretched pictures, but the value of the publicity is great. The Universal Film Company called up this morning and asked Mrs. Spencer for a reel of the process for their magazine. Mrs. Spencer did not state whether or not she will do this, but If she does, she will find a sufficient number of girls and boys ready to pose for the feature.
The Hooverizing idea is to save one-third of the wheat flour, so Mrs. Spencer has concocted her recipes accordingly. She uses oat, corn and barley meals. The result is a delicious and nutritious bread.
Everybody has had life-long acquaintance with the old corn bread, or Johnny cake.
Mrs. Spencer’s corn bread contains yeast and is treated the same as wheat bread. This is her process: Two and one-tlilrd cups of wheat flour, two-thirds cup of corn meal, one and one-fourth cups of milk and water, one cup of liquid yeast, one tablespoon of fat, one-fourth cup of warm • water, one-lialf tablespoon of salt, and one tablespoon of sugar. The liquid, fat, sugar and salt are mixed and brought to a boiling point. The corn meal is added, by a slow stirring, just as corn meal mush in made (Corn meal lias to be well-cooked to be most nutritious.) Remove from the fire, cool and add the dissolved yeast. Add the flour, and knead.
Let the dough rise until twice its size. Knead again and mold into loaves. Let it rise again, and bake an hour in a moderate oven.
