10 TRAIN STUDENTS AS EXECUTIVES
Emphasis Placed Upon Practical Studies in Industry and Finance ■—Extensive Training Given
WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS
Students to Be Prepared for Foreign Commerce as Well as Domestic Field
Special emphasis will be placed upon the preparation of men and women for executive work in industry and finance in the new College of Commerce and Business Administration to be founded at the University of Southern California.
Extensive training will be given for executive work in foreign as well as domestic commerce. Training for consular and diplomatic service and secretarial positions is to be one of the most important departments of the new school.
Degrees Awarded The degrees of A.B., B.S. and B.B.A. will be given for work in the College of Commerce, while certificates will be given to students who complete certain courses but do not fulfill all requirements for a degree.
A wide range of appropriate subjects has been suggested, among which are courses in salesmanship, export and import trading, consular service, brokerage, insurance and real estate and advertising.
To Study Needs It is the plan of the organizers of the new college to studjr the neeas of the fields of commerce, especially in the West, and provide practical instruction for the students. Under the proposed system much of the students’ time in upper division work would be devoted to field work, supervised by a faculty member.
A commercial museum, suitable for use in connection with courses on commercial development, would probably be maintained. It is planned to keep the students in close touch with business concerns and employment experts by a bureau of employment and Placement.

Wampus, Now Grown, A Sucess
By Carl Farman
Wampus, attired in a spring outfit of green eyes and brown fur, brought glad leap-year tidings to the University yesterday amid the gleeful howls of joke-seeking students. Numerous clever cartoons by different members-of the staff which featured the man-hunting co-ed, as well as jokes and verses along the same line, left no doubt that the year 1920 arrived some time ago and had already been tested with reference to its usefulness.
The promise of a bigger, better number was amply fulfilled by the 28-page edition, and the increased number of advertisements gave proof that the advertising end is being well taken care of. The editorial pages by Miller have prospered and are full of their usual interest.
The short ditties that pervade the magazine are nearly all productive of a high degree of hilarity, and the “Amazon” with its various “dares” certainly does hand it to mere man.
If Wampus improves every issue as it has in the past, we predict that its circulation in about four months will be not less, but more, than a million a month.

FATHER OF STUDENT DIES
The faculty and students extend their sympathy to Miss Amy Walton, ’22, who was called to her home in Fresno, last week, by the serious illness of her father, which resulted in his death.
Here is an opportunity for some U. S. C. student to earn $6,000.
Through the Republican National Committee, Mr. Truxtun Beale, former United States Minister to Persia, offers cash prizes aggregating $10,000 for the best suggestions for the Republican platform by young voters, both men and women, in the country.	«
-* His offer has been formally accepted
by Chairman Will H. Hays, of the National Committee, and the contest will open at once and close March 31, 1920.
A first prize of $6,000 will be given for the best manuscript received; $3,000 for the second best and $1,000 for the third.
Manuscripts are limited to 6,000 words and must be addressed to Walker Blaine Beale Contest, Division of Young Voters, Republican National Committee, 923 Woodward Building, Washington, D. C. Four typewritten copies must be submitted, one only of the number being signed.
Explains Offer Mr. Beale explains his act of contributing this money by saying:
There never has been a time when the two great parties have differed so fundamentally in principle as now, differences that go to the very foundation of society; never a time when so many brands of quack medicine have been so energetically hawked about as cures for the distempers of the state, and therefore never a time when an honest platform and straight thinking, holding out no false hopes and promising no short cuts to the millennium, is more important than now.”
For these reasons, Mr. Beale subscribed $10,000 to the Republican National Committee to be offered in prizes as above outlined. The only stipulation he made was that the committee assume the responsibility of providing the machinery and expense required for reading the manuscripts submitted.. This the committee has agreed to do.
“Of course,” he added, “it is not my idea that such a platform would necessarily be adopted by the National Convention, but the educative effect on the people at large might have a beneficial indirect result; and may aid you in your well directed efforts to interest young people in politics.”
Name Judges The following men were selected as judges: Dr. David Jayne Hill, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, and the Hon. Albert J. Beveridge.
Mr. Hayes then suggested that the rewards be known ,ias the Walker Blain Beale Prizes, in memory of Mr. Truxtun Beale’s son, who was killed in the service, and that the contest be open to all men and women twenty-five years of age or younger.
The committee states that the delegates to the National Republican Convention will be glad of the opportunity to study the proposed platforms submitted by the young voters of the land, and submit the following rules, to which participants in the contest are asked to adhere:
When the Trojan basketball team meets the Occidental quintet, Friday night, the men will be ready to put up a wonderful fight.
“The only thing of which we are sure is that our* team has fight and can be counted upon.
“The Los Angeles Athletic Club is making arrangements to accommodate large numbers of students from both the rival institutions. If you want to see the U. S. C. team wipe away the sting of last year’s defeat at the hands of the Oxy Tigers, come down to the club at 8 o’clock and give it your best support.
“This is the most important game of the early season, and Coach Henderson’s team is on its toes.”
Tickets are on sale at the treasurer’s office at 50 cents a pair. Single tickets costs a quarter.
