Press Neophytes Have Hard Day
By Marquis Busley
Shiver me timbers, mates, and gosh durn all hemlock. If you see some flaming ties floating around the campus today don't call the flre department. Aforesaid bright colors are caused by the shrinking neophytes of the Press Club.
Initiation committee, composed of Al Wesson, George Don Ashbaugh and Chauncey Allcott have evblved an intricate gruelling initiation.
The sprightly co-eds are wearing red hair ribbons and cultivating a lisp. The sterner sex are to blossom out in cady hats and Temple street neckties.
After a day of basking in the campus limelight the neophytes will be spirited away to the home of Tommy Metcalf, former editor of Tho Trojan, at Hermosa Beach. The remainder of the initiation will be perpetrated at this time.
Among other things to happen Sarah Taft Somers will, alone and unaided, eat a dozen raw oysters. Barbara Miller will sing the sextet from Lucia. Glen Ingles will play on his bandoline. Louise Kidson and Kling Stoddard will present the death bed scene from Camille. O. Henry King will recite ‘‘Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight.” Marquis Busley will emulate Gertrude Hoffman, with Ruth Wolfe and Muriel Arkley in the chorus. Johnny Cohen and "Ewa” Adams will give a chafing dish demonstration.
After a midnight lunch of soap sandwiches the pledges will take an icy plunge into the deep.
LAW SCHOOL BEAUTIES
EL RODEO DEADLINE IS
ANOTHER WEEK SECOND SERVICE CAMPAIGN SOON
Deadlines for individual pictures to be taken at Witzel’s and group pictures for the year book, have been extended until March 15 because of lack of publicity, according to Florence Gilbert, El Rodeo editor.
Time Limited
“However, this does not mean that there is an unlimited time during which pictures may be taken,” Baid Miss Gilbert, “Mr. Witzel is very anxious that students have their pictures taken this week so that our photographers wilt have an opportunity to do good work for each individual. Moreover the work of classifying the pictures will take considerable time.”
Want ’Em All
There Is no need for any organization to decide that It will not have either group or individual pictures because it has been unable to abide by the flrst deadline, according to the editor.
“We want every organization upon the campus to have Mr. Ward of the varsity photorium to take its group picture that all may be represented in the annual,” stated Miss Gilbert yesterday. “We must urge every organization to lend its cooperation in making the book a success. Our book cannot be accurate unless every single campus organization sends in to the El Rodeo office a list of its members according to classes and the names of officers for both semesters. “One person should be delegated to give such copy to Sylvia Dobbins, Albert Butterfield or leave it in the office. Several organizations which have been notified several times have failed to turn in such lists.”
Another new club entered upon Ub flrst minute of existence yesterday at 11-40 a.m., after its organization in the Chapel. It is the College of Commerce Club. All students enrolled in the College of Commerce are eligible to membership. One hundred and fifty students were present yesterday.
The principal speaker at the first meeting of the club was Professor Harold Stonier of the economics department.
Prof. Stonier Speaks
“The purpose of this club," he said, “Is to create a tie between the College ■f Commerce here aud the Los Angeles business men. From time to time the club will procure speakers to address the U. S. C. students.
“Later on in the club’s career, may be possible for It to publish a commerce magazine.”
At yesterday’s meeting three committees were apopinted. They were the organization, get-together, and publicity committees.
The officers elected pro tem were: President. H. J. Patterson, and secretary, Miss Broadwater.

With special assemblies and the appearance of some of the most prominent speakers of the Pacific Coast, with special stunts put on by various organizations of the campus, and with the loyal support of all the students, the University Service Campaign is to be launched on March 16.
The Purity Number of the Wampus made Procter and Gamble—Ivory Soap —famous. But the Service Campaign is to present Mr. Gamble, himself, in a special assembly in chapel.

Reginald Wheeler, happens to be in Pasadena at this time and has been Becured to tell all about the great oriental university Thursday night next at the “Y” hut. He will show slides of the student life of Peking, and will have several pictures of U. S. C.’s representative, Mr. Ralph Burnight, in action.
The present student administration wish to have it known that this ia the only student body activity ever put on at this school which has a purely altruistic and social aim. Last year the executive committee inaugurated lt, and it has been declared the greatest achievement in the history of the university.
According to Minister Reinsch, of the Federal Government, who lived near Peking University, the supreme educational opportunity of the world at this hour is the institution which is now the brother of U. S. C., and the students of the campus have been con gratulated ln their choice of a scholarly and prominent representative, Mr. Ralph Burnight, who is now teaching at Peking.
On account of $300 unpaid pledges, and erpenses to be printed in the next issue of the Trojan, a deficit resulted in the flrst year’s amount. Two thousand five hundred dollars is the goal set by Gwynne Wilson and Gross Alexander for this year. Mr. John Robinson is assistant manager and Mr. Ed. Fisher is treasurer.
Two prizes of $5 and $3 are offered for the best essay on “Why Should the Students of U. S. C. Maintain a Chair ln Peking University." The Trojan stuff will award these prizes for the stories, which will be printed in a special edition on March 16.
TRIANGULAR DEBATE HELD LAST
LAW SCHOOL DEBATERS WILL MEET EASTERN SPEAKERS
“Jaz!”
“Jazz into it, boys!"
Hiss Helene Sullivan, Morosco stock company star, cast one foot forward, brought her forefinger into action and threw her words at an imaginery audience.
“That's it! But, you lanky one, put some punch into it! Snap into lt! Show a little life!”
There was a moment’s pause.
"At rest!” laughingly barked Edgar
B.	Hervey, one of the assembled squad of law school debaters being coached by Miss Sullivan ln the art of expression.
"Just like the old army life: ‘Snap into It,’ 'Show a little life’ and everything,” he exclaimed. "But, like the drill sergeant, you do us a whaling lot of good, even if your medicine Is a bit hard to take at some times, Miss Sullivan.”
Twice a week the law school debate squad assembles bac kstage at the Morosco theater, or in one of the class rooms in the Tajo building at First street and Broadway for half an hour’s coaching by MIbb Sullivan.

Blalock have been tentatively picked to meet a team from Columbia University at Trinity auditorium on Friday, March 26, on the question: “Should the Several States Enact Legislation Adopting a Plan Similar to that of Kansas for the Judicial Settlement of Disputes between Capital and Labor.” That does not bar nearly a

C. guards withstood all attacks, und only allowed seven field baskets, while the Trojan forward Bhot the “pill” through the iron hoop eleven times. Only twice were the U. S. C. men foiled sufficiently enough to give the fast Pomona forwards an easy chance to shoot. The other shots were made from the floor at a considerable distance.

Ordinarily difficulty has been experiences in attempting to have the S. C. frosh meet tbe Orange aud Black youngsters, but this year the Eagle Rock Institution claims to have an unbeatable herd of cinder path experts who are Just out of high school aud raring for numerals, and meets are easier to obtain.
The Trojan babes are nothing wonderful, Judging from advance appearances, but they have a lot of talent which will give tlie out-of-town college plenty to worry about from start to finish They are husky in the weights, long-winded in the distance events, speedy in the sprints, and will give tbeir opponents all the exercise necessary, however highly the latter may rate themselves. Followers of the S. C. frosh say that when tlie relay has been reeled off the score will favor them by a good margin Oxy says the opposite. March 9th will tell which group takes the fortune telling honors as well as tbe meet.
