Politics
Gee! it’s grettt to be on a big trip, but its better to be back at U. S. C. While in the east I visited several institutions of higher learning and got a few pointers as to how to run an Associated Student Body. We are behind some of the schools in effective organization, but I never visited a school that had made the progress in one year that U. S. C. has made this year. But we are not through yet. We have just organized an interfraternity council and soon a U. S. C. monogram club will be organized; we are working on a new constitution, and by the way, it will be a real constitution. We are going to put out a basketball and track season ticket, and sell some eight hundred of them. We are working on a play that will give us an El Rodeo worthy of any school.
Now let us settle down to business and create a spirit and an organization that will be worthy of our best efforts.

CERCLE FRANCAIS MEETS
Committee Appointed to Investigate Possibility of Staging Big Show
For the past three years the Junior Sirkus has been nothing more than part of the history of the University. However, the Juniors of this year have an unusually large quantity of pep, and it is their desire to revive the tradition of the Sirkus and put across a Sirkus this year that will be bigger and better than any ever given at U. S. C. It is possible that there will not be enough time for the Juniors to undertake anything more, since they are all so busy with the El Rodeo, Junior Play and the other class activities, but a committee has been appointed to look into the matter and discover if there will be time for the Sirkus in the curriculum of the year. The committee which has been asked to work on it consists of Gross Alexander, Louise Parizek, Horace White and Helen Walker. The first meeting of this committee will be held Friday, January 15, at 11:40, in room 14.

ATHLETIC CONTESTS UNDER AUSPICES OE FRATERNITY COUNCIL
Definite Plans Formulated for Coming Inter-Fraternity Basket-ball Series
SERIES TO BEGIN JAN. 22
Silver Loving Cup to be Presented to Winner of Championship Game
Marking the inauguration of an Inter-fraternity Council, representatives of the various Greek-letter societies met in Coach Henderson’s office, Tuesday noon, and formulated definite plans for the coming Inter-fraternity basketball series.
Each fraternity was represented by one member, with the exception of Sigma Tau and Zeta Kappa Epsilon, who failed to send representatives. Claude Reeves represented the nonfraternity element.
The purpose of the council was stated at the beginning of the meeting as being for the promulgation of spirit within and between the fraternities and of specially promoting united efforts in regard to inter-fraternity athletic contests. The council is to be modeled along the lines of the Interfraternity Councils which exist in all large universities.
A schedule was drawn between the fraternities of Liberal Arts—the games to begin Thursday, Jan. 22, and to be played in the University gymnasium. The champion fraternity is to receive a permanent pennant.
A game is to be played February 5th, the same afternoon as the fraternity championship game between the Liberal Arts All-Stars and the College of Pharmacy Law School and Dental College will battle, February 12th. On the same afternoon the fraternity champions and the winner of the All-Star- Pharmacy tussle will clash. The grand championship game will be played February 19th, and the University victors will be presented with a silver loving cup, on which their name shall be engraved, and which they shall be privileged to keep one year. Coach Henderson announces that with the exception of ten varsity men to be named soon, all members of the present squad will be allowed to play in these contests.
The complete schedule is as follows: Sigma Tau vs. Zeta Kappa Epsilon and Gamma Epsilon vs. Theta Psi, Jan-Jan. 22; Phi Alpha vs. Delta Beta Tau and Sigma Chi vs. Zeta Beta Tau, Jan. 29.
The winners of these contests will play off with the winners of the All-Star-Pharmacy-Law School and Dental teams for the championship of the University.
The last meeting of the Cercle Francais for this semester will be held Friday afternoon, January 16, at 3:15, at the Chi Delta Phi house, 08 West Thirty-fifth place. The meeting is an important one and one of interest lo all French students of the University. Miss Helen Naismith will speak to the club about her experiences in France. The rest of the program will consist | of some musical numbers and dialogues.
Among the noted visiting professors who will lecture at U.S.C. during the coming summer session is Mrs. Mary Strawn Vernon of the Columbia College of Music of Chicago, 111. Mrs. Vernon is an educator of national repute. She will give a course in Public School Methods of Teaching Music. This course was conducted last year by Miss Julia Crane of the Crane Institute of Potsdam. N. Y.
GIVE FINE CONCERT
First Concert of Year Well Attended by University Students and Friends
One of the most interesting entertainments of the year was .the joint concert given by the Men’s and the Women’s Glee Clubs of the University, in the chapel, last evening. The conceit was attended by a large number of University students and their freinds. Although this concert was the first one of the year, it was a huge success, and went off without a hitch. The glee clubs were ably assisted by the College of Oratory. Robert Rager read a symphonic poem, accompanied by Harold Schwab on the piano. Beatrice Loucks, of the College of Music, rendered a delightful violin solo, and Kynaston Franks gave a border ballad. Other numbers on the program were songs by the clubs. The program was concluded by the singing of the Alma Mater by the two clubs.
The Cosmopolitan Club will have their first banquet Wednesday evening at 7:30 at the Fuji Restaurant, corner First and San Pedro streets. It is to be a Japanese affair, with a special program in harmony with the customs of the country. Onfe of the most prominent Japanese merchants will speak on Japan. It will be a most interesting meeting and all are requested to be there. The Cosmopolitan Club in the past has been a great asset to the University. This year, under the leadership of Harry Van Cleve, who is president, it will undoubtedly play an important and educational part in school activities.
