LOS ANGELES CHOICE OF NATIONAL FRAT. ASSEMBLY
After an absence of one month, in which he attended the International Biennial Convention of Phi Delta Phi at Bloomington, 111., as the delegate of the local chapter at the College of Law, Ray Ed -Barnett has returned with the announcement that the next convention of the fraternity is to be held in Los Angeles.
There were delegates from every state in the Union, representing all the large legal institutions. In his fight to bring the next convention to the Southland, Barnett was supported by Denver, Seattle, California and Michigan. That he must have had strong arguments is indicated by the fact that he won over such contenders as Washington, University of St. Louis, Syracuse, Yale and Northwestern. The final vote was 46 to 6 for U. S. C. Barnett said that with the weather at four below zero at Bloomington, the delegates seemed rather disposed to listen attentively while he told about the weather at seventy-five above zero in Los Angeles. Barnett was unanimously elect-
ed president of Province Seven, which includes all chapters west of the Rockies.
Compares Colleges
Barnett stated that he visited the following institutions and made careful comparisons between their law departments and that of the University of Southern California: Columbia, Northwestern, Chicago, Pennsylvania. Princeton, New York, Brooklyn Gebrge Washington (D. C.), Cincinnati, Tulane, New Orleans and Illinois Wesleyan. At the convention he made inquiries concerning others which he was unable to see.
His object in doing this was that he had intended to go East to school next year and was trying to make a selection. His decision is to remain at the local College of Law, for, in his opinion, one can learn as much law here as elsewhere; the instruction here is more practical than at most of the law colleges; and it is a decided advantage for a man to study here if he intends to practice in this state.
B reakers Of Tradition To Farm
From the office comes the announcement that war lias been declared upon soijie of the practices of a few of our students. A few students appear to have the idea that the parking in front of the University and that the athletic field and “gym” are not a part of the university campus. Also that the school could not possibly do without them. The student body knows that smoking and profanity are against the traditions of the school, but they have ignored this tradition. Now comes the announcement that an order has been given, and that those violating the tradition may be persuaded that they are better fitted for farming than for school (rooms. The president’s student council will, according to good authority, recommend drastic actions.
NOTICE TO STUDENTS
Mid-year examinations will begin Wednesday, February 4, and will continue until Wednesday, February 11, the opening day of the second semester. Registration will be carried on during examination week.

The Knights lead in the point scoring until the last few minutes of play, when the old Trojan fight put the Cardinal and Gold on the big end of the score.

Any team can enter, and for this reason Coach Henderson is going to watch the inter-fraternity games for possible candidates for another team to represent U. S. C.
It is possible for a fraternity to put in a team, therefore, and some of them may enter a quintette.
U. S. C. now has two games with Occidental and two with Throop. TT. S.
C.	defeated the Knights of St. Paul, Tuesday night, by three baskets. The Knights have a fast squad, and much credit should be given to the embryo U. S. C. quintette.
