OBSERVE FOUNDER’S DAY ON CAMPUS
S. C. DEPT. OF ARCH. AFFILIATED WIIH BEAUX ARTS INST.
Dept, of Arch. Now on Par with Leading Architectural Schools of Country
With the recent affiliation with the Beahx-Arts Institute of Design in New York City, the department of architecture of the University of Southern California is placed on a par, and in direct competition with the leading architectural schools of the country.
Under this new regime, students will receive problems direct from New York. These they will work out to the best of their ability and send back to the Institute monthly for criticism. There their work will be reviewed by a jury composed of the most successful and well-known architects which the United States affords. Prizes and honorable mentions will be awarded the best problems.
Budding architects of U. S. C. are now working on their first problem, which is the designing of an entrance suitable for a Catholic cathedral. Other assignments will be sent out monthly.
Another improvement in the general efficiency of this department is the addition of two new teachers.
Mr. C. N. Baldwin who was formerly an instructor in the Oregon University, is conducting a class in architectural design.
Mr. John Rich, a prominent California artists, has charge of classes in free hand drawing.
Registration in the Spanish Department this year will exceed all past records, according to Professor Schulz, as the enrollment will reaoh fully 600, over 250 of whom will be beginning the study of Spanish. This number is nearly a third again as great as last year.
Miss Katharine H. Stilwell is one of the new members of the Spanish Department this year. She graduated from U. S. C. in 1917 as a Spanish major, going immediately to Santa Monica, where she taught for two years. She was then transferred to Los Angeles, where she taught in Poly High all of last year and this year up to the present time. She is spoken of by Mr. C. A. Wheeler, the supervisor of Modern Languages in the city, as being one of the best teachers in the city system. There are now six regular members in the Spanish Department and two assistants.
The Spanish Department is planning to do a large amount of work this year in connection with La Tertulia, the Spanish club, and will begin work immediately on the presentation of Home classical or modern dramas. These will be presented, not for our student body alone, but for the general public.
Lost Your Head? See Mr. Huse!
JUNIORS NOMINATE CLASS TREASURER
By Alice Smith
Tell the ducking committee that at least one freshman has qualified for the annual bath. After pretending to submit to the green-clad and rose-tipped traditions of this worthy institution, some wild frosh had the nerve to lose his cap. It is in the Custodian’s office, but the owner is requested to bring a towel when the tanking-up starts.
The small and cluttered office of the manager of the building and grounds take on the glamour of romance. Here is the vital opportunity for the senti-mentally-minded to observe the immemorial custom of finding the size of her finger without the dear thing ever suspecting. Her gloves are there in the Custodian’s office, gentlemen —long gloves, short gloves, white gloves, green gloves, whole gloves, holey gloves, single gloves—all you have to do is to identify the right girl’s.
Did the Cosmopolitan Club fail to take out a license that their records are now residing in the pound, or is the treasurer so hard up that he thought he mistook the Custodian’s office for the sign of the three gilt balls? The club may obtain its constitution by calling.
Jewelry, fountain pens, a bank book and one of those watches that made the dollar famous and then went up to two dollars and a half are among the “vallibles” Mr. Huse keer s in the locked box, and the wardrobe includes all known garments from a pair of track shoes to a pair of pa jamas.
The Lost and Fund service is re puted to have handled every conceiv able commodity with the astounding exception of a collar and tie. There are two possible explanations to the latter fact. Either the sterner sex are so constituted that they can keep their heads when it comes to losing things, or they are afraid they will lose their heads if they take oft' the means by which they collar and tie them on.
“PUSSY-FOOTERS” ARE ATTACKED BY SENIORS
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Oct. 5 (Special to The Trojan).— “Fur-footers” were given a prolonged tongue-lashing by men of the ’21 class at Senior Singing last night. After a severe condemnation of the man who attends an athletic contest with a woman, the seniors passed a sentiment that men’s A. S. U. C. cards would not be honored for admission to the west bleachers.
The entire senior class was made a committee to see that all men sat in the rooting section during football games.
Candidates for class treasurer for the present year were nominated at a meeting of the Junior Class yesterday. Those named are Dwight Ray, Kenneth Monroe and Ber- Fi-ey. The ‘‘lection is jet for the next frieeting on October 12. Vice-President Miriam Irwin announced a party for November •r> Decision was reached to produce i the Junior play during the latter part j of the first semester.
OFFICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Students preparing for positions as high school teachers must take as ma-for a subject taught in high school. Prospective English teachers should take English as a major. Since 1911 the State gives a high schol certificate to any person holding a U. S. C. recommendation. No university in the state offers better advantages to high school teachers than U, S. C.
OREGON PRESIDENT BANQUETS WARRIORS
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Oct. 6. —Special to The Trojan.)—A banquet in honor of Oregon’s varsity football andldates was given last night by President P. L. Campbell of the university Football plans were discussed and pep talks given by the coaches.
Spike and Brick I^eslie and Martin Howard were the only members of last year’s varsity present.
Between 20 and 25 men have signed up for the class in men’s tennis Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8, under the direction of Instructor H. R. Lee. With these men receiving steady instruction twice a week, and with many strong contestants for tennis honors last year back at U. S. C. this fall, the University will in all probability have a strong team in spite of the fact that Ronald Stannard and Bob Raeger of last year’s racket wielders, are no longer attending classes. Paul Greene, however, has returned, and although he is now out for football, he will probably head the tennis men later in the year.
Mr. Lee, who is new to the University, has been closely connected with physical educational work for many years. He is a graduate of the physical education department of the Y. M.
C.	A. College of Chicago, and has been in Y work at Waterloo, Iowa, and La Crosse, Wisconsin. He was teacher at the American College of Physical Education in the Windy City, and for the past five years has been instructor in the South Park Playground System there.
Arrangements have already been ,made for a king tournament within the class whereby each player may challenge the one above him on the list, the head man being ‘ king.” This tournament should bring out the best in the class, and inasmuch as most ot last year’s material is not in any tennis section, tournaments will soon be under way to include all men wishing to try out for the varsity.
Impressive Ceremonies To
I Mark U. S. C/s Birthday
Marking the inception of its forty-first year, Founder’s Day ceremonies will be obserbed by the University today on the campus.
A special program has been arranged, with Bishop Adna W. Leonard, president of the board of trustees of U. S. C., and a high official of the Methodist church, as the principal speaker of the day. Dr. J. B. Green, one of the oldest members of the board of trustees will deliver the invocation. President Bovard will make a short address, sketching the history of U. S. C., its founding and development.
Under the direction of Prof. Horatio
B.	Cogswell, of the College of Music, there will be a musical program, the ceremonies concluding with the audience singing “Alma Mater.”
Program Begins at 10:30
The exercises will open at 10:30 a. m., and 10:4-r> and 1:30 classes will be excused. Only the two mentioned classes will be excused.
Part of the program will be the academic procession, which will form at the south wing of the College of Liberal Arts, and march to the platform under the trees on the north lawn.
Forty years ago, when the University of Southern California was established, Los Angeles was a small city of about 11,000 residents, and the campus on what is now University avenue, extending from Thirty-fourth street to Exposition Park, was “out in the country," with but few houses in sight. Occasionally a one-horse car made
trips from the center of town, north of First street to the new university. Sixty-five students were enrolled at that time in the budding educational institution, being housed in a two-story building with eight class-rooms and a chapel. This building is still in use, and is now known as the Annex. It has been enlarged with the addition of a new wing.
Remarkable Growth of University
Now the university comprises sev* eral buildings within the area of the original campus, and, in addition, has the College of Law, the College of Dentistry and the College of Music located in widely separated districts in Los Angeles. From the original sixty-five, the enrollment has grown to a total of 5,000 this year, with more than 700 freshmen alone enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts, keeping pace with the wonderful growth of Los Angeles.
A member of the Bovard family has been at the head of U. S. C. for thirty-three of the forty years of its history. Dr. M. M. Bovard was the first president and organizer of the institution, and his brother, Dr. F. D. Bovard, acted as vice-president. Dr. George F. Bovard, a younger brother, is the pesent head of U. S. C. He was a freshman in the college at the flr^t classes and was an interested spectator at the corner-stone ceremonies. He was a member of the first graduating class. For twenty years now, he has served as acting president and president of U. S. C.

Chauncey, Trojan Sleuth,
Finds “It Pays to Advertise
>9
By Florence A. Gilbert, '22
Urging the support of loyal Trojans in attempting to make Christian principles effective in human society, Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. leaders have announced their simultaneous financial campaigns to be held Wednesday and Thursday of next week. No dues are asked from the many students who are now signiW|%ip for membership in these ChristiarWrganizations, the only financial assets being amounts raised in the “free-will offering” fashion made popular by campaigns of different sorts.
Prominent Leaders
The campaign will be in charge of Miss Helen Schaffer and John Robinson, financial secretaries, respectively, of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A., and a corps of assistants.
“Campaign of various sorts are made during the year,” said Gross Alexander, publicity manager for the campaign, “but the service campaign and the Y. M. C. A. campaign are the only appeals made to students for money to be used for religious purposes. Realizing the important part these organizations play in the lives of students as well as in outside Christianization work, the students of U. S. C. should get behind these two great organizations.”
SENIOR NOTICE
NOTICE—WELCOME
Class meeting to be held in Room 14 at 12:35 on Wednesday, Oct. 6, 1920.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Those cunning, shiny green ribbons will be on sale again on Thursday. Dilatory freshmen girls are hereby warned to take due advantage of the coming opportunity.
Personal Attention Guaranteed—Competent service.
Always on the Job—Try Us. University Police Station. Fraternity Service.
This ad appeared on page two of last Friday’s Trojan.
Editor of The Trojan.
Dear Ed.—That bird you sent me to see over at the University Police Station, you know the one that stands behind the counter in a nice blue uniform with the pretty stripes on his sleeves and writes down your name and takes all of your money when you go there, well he says that it sure does pay to advertise in The Trojan. He said that before they put that notice in the paper last Friday that they were afraid that they weren’t going to have any business at all this year, but now they have made 69 arrests and more coming every minute.
The sergeant took me in and showed me that book where they put down your name and where you were when they got you and how old you are— they haven’t got any of the girls yet
and ail about you, and told me about some of the ones they got. There was one that read the ad and tried .o
sneak away from the Engineers’ smoker down on the corner last Friday night with the lights on his car turned off. He said that his name was Adam Jones but they don’t believe it.
Then there was another one that they got for speeding. He was trying to get to his 8 o’clock. The “cop” said he knew that he was a college man because his language when they arrested him was so expressive. It was so good that they said they thought that he might even be a “frat” man. Say, Ed, they told me some of the swear words he used, and believe me they are whizz-bangs. I will tell them to you as soon as I get a chance. 1 am sure you can use them.
Say, Ed, they had another guy that had $37.19 in his pocket when they got him. Don’t you think that you could get him on The Trojan staff so I wouldn’t have to buy your dinners any more?
Those “cops” have got a whole stack of money they got from fineB and things. I think the next time you put an ad in for them you ought to make them split with us, what do you think?
The sergeant told me we could print all the facts I have got here. You will have to use your own judgment about the rest of it.
Fraternally yours,
CHAUNCEY.
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH	REGISTRATION AT
STARTS HONOR SYSTEM	ILLINOIS DECREASES
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH. Oct. 6 (Special to The Trojan).—Beginning this week the honor system, which provides that students shall be put on their honor during examinations, will be installed. It was provided for by an amendment to the student constitution last year and will be enforced by a student court which may suspend offenders from student activities or recommend their dismissal to the faculty.
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, Oct. 6. —(Special to The Trojan.)- Registration has reached a total of 2000, a figure which falls 1512 short of the record registration of the first day last year. General opinion is that registration will not reach that of the previous year, although the small total of the first day is thought to be due to the new system of enrollment designed to prevent crowding.
