GREAT MUSEUM OE NATURAL HISTORY AT EXPOSITION PARK
Collection to Contain Specimens of Every United States Bird and Mammal
FIRST COUNTY MUSEUM
University Research Students Own Advantage of Proximity to Exposition Park
That the greatest museum of natural history in the United States is to be established at Exposition Park is the statement of Frank S. Daggett, curator of the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art. The immediate occasion for this statement was the acquisition of a great collection of skins, skeletons and heads of big animals and skins of big birds, brought back from Alaska by J. P. Herring, expert taxidermist, Dr. Edward Jones, Supervisor R. F. McClellan and Neil McClellan, his son, who returned recently from an expedition into the north which started last June.
Big Alaskan Collection
This Alaskan collection is to be the nucleus of tbe great museum which will contain specimens of every mammal and every bird that lives in the United States or its territories.
Tbe museum will be of great benefit and interest to students at the University of Southern California as it is adjacent to the campus.
To Aid Research Workers Bishop Adna Leonard of the Methodist Episcopal Church in his address, October 14, at the time of the laying of the corner stone for the new Administration Building, predicted that this new museum would provide abundant material for research workers, not only in this University, but also all over the world.
Curator Daggett said:
“The whole detail, as we have worked it out, will make this museum of natural history more valuable to posterity than any institution of a liko ■character in this country.
First County Museum “This museum is the only one in the world projected and maintained by a county. All the rest are either private institutions or are maintained by cities in city parks or similar institutions.”
“FROSH” WANT GAME
Coach Herd’s freshmen want someone to play with.
Graduate Manager Bruce is trying to line up another scrimmage with some good, fast squad before the babes travel northward for their big game with the California freshmen next week.
Get That Lil’ Old Green Bonnet
Woe to the Freshman who hasn’t a cap or a fifty cent receipt for his deposit toward a cap by Saturday.
The verdant-hued lids are all sold— that is, the first supply. Those who haven’t a cap are advised to see Earle Hazelton, chairman of the Traditions committee, before Saturday, and get a receipt for a fifty cent deposit toward a cap. He will be found in the Book Exchange both at 8 o’clock and at 11:40 every day. More caps will be here soon.
Better get a cap—or a receipt—the water will be cold these mornings. Beware!
LE CERCLE FRANCAIS PLANS BIG YEAR PROGRAM
(By Uppun Atom)
The Y.M.C.A. financial drive is on in full blast. The spirit that the faculty and students have thus far shown is remarkable. Things look good—for at the close of the Y.M. Rally in the Chapel Wednesday, the budget thermometer had raised to a red heat of seven hundred dollars.
Our worthy student body president, Claud Reeves, presided at the rally. He gave a snappy talk in behalf of the “Y.” The presidents of the various classes all gave a good word for the “Y” and called on their class members to back up the drive.
“Pea” Green, the illustrious Freshman president, summed up the spirit of the rally when he said, “Fellows, let’s get in the Y.M. current and do our part in a cause th«ot is worth while.” Ellsworth Charleson president of “Y” gave a few remarl ~ about the purpose of the Y.M. to reach every student and render service.
John Robinson, who is heading up the campaign, made a plea for every man to back up the “Y”—“heart, soul, and pocketbook.” Mr. McGinnis, executive secretary and friend to students, made the final plea for contributions. As a result of the rally the $700 mark was hit. Students this is great! We are on the last lap. By Friday night we want to be 100 per cent over the top, by reaching the goal of $1000. Here’s our chance, every man a part.
BACK UP!
A newspaper reporter, who was inclined to be lazy in his method of picking up news, met a brother reporter who was as keen as the other was lazy.
“Anything doing?” asked the lazy.
“I have a report that a man was choked to death in a restaurant, but 1 haven’t learned his name yet,” replied the other.
“How did it happen?” asked the reporter, eagerly scenting copy.
“He was eating a piece of horse meat,” was the reply, “and someone said ‘Whoa!’ ”
NEW COLLEGE GLEE CLUB ORGANIZED
Professor Horatio Cogswell is now organizing the College Glee Club. Preliminary tryouts have been held up to date at the College of Music. The final tryout comes next Wednesday afternoon, November 5, at the “Y” hut. More men are needed for all parts.
The organization is made up of the Men’s Glee and the Women’s Glee, each of which has twenty-four members. Eight substitutes will be provided for each section.
As in previous years, several trips will probably be made. These have not been definitely planned yet, but they will probably include Pomona, Riverside and Jan Diego. There are vague rumors of a trip to Honolulu, but these are not yet confirmed.
The first concert will be given in the early part of December.
The pianist for the Women’s Glue is Mrs. Waltz. Harold Schwab will play for the entire club.
PROFESSOR BLANKS TO TRAVEL, LECTURE
Professor A. F. Blanks, famous reader of Southern Folk Tales and debating coach of U. S. C., appeared in a recital for the Los Angeles Chapter of “The Daughters of the Confederacy,” on Tuesday afternoon, October 28.
On November 3 he will lecture at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in San Francisco, on November 4 before the Tuesday Club of Sacramento, and on November 6 at the University Center in Fresno.
The subject of the lecture is “Japan, Friend or Foe.”
ART CLASS MEETS AT MUSEUM OF EXPOSITION
Under the direction of Miss Alma May Cook, the Art Appreciation Class has been meeting during the last month, in the Art Gallery of the Museum building at Exposition Park. The work consists of lectures upon and study of the different exhibits of the California Art Club.
Next month the class is to study the paintings of different artists from Northern California.
Upon the arrival soon of a group of paintings from the East by noted Eastern painters, the attention of the class will be turned upon these.
MALETTE TO SPEAK
Frank Malette, who made himself famous as one of the greatest football players ever developed in Southern California when he played with the U.S.C. varsity three seasons ago, will be the principal speaker at a big rally to be held tomorrow morning.
An attempt was made to get Mayor Snyder to deliver an address, but “his honor” was called to San Francisco to attend a convention of mayors.
OCCIDENTAL'S MACHINE PLAYS IN WONDERFUL EARLY SEASON FORM
Coach Stanton of Occidental Feeds His Warriors On “Tiger-Diet”
S. C. SPIRIT SLACKENS
Trojan Eleven Being Whipped Into Shape Rapidly For
Saturday Game
By Morgan B. Cox
U.S.C. is in a precarious position today, resulting from that still famous tiger theft, if all indications wafted from the Oxy camp are to be believed. It is because the animal has assumed a new aspect and confronts us from another angle that we must realize just what the tiger means—both to U.S.C. and to Oxy.
Coach Stanton has been inoculating his players daily on a “tiger-diet” in preparation for the coming fracus, so that they have now reached the point where they don’t want the tiger— they want U.S.C. or anything that symbolizes it. Such is the Oxy spirit developed from the Cat’s theft.
U.S.C. on the other hand has cemented itself, found new spirit, and developed, has been allowed to die down sadly, and the over-confident spirit of a day or two ago, which came as an after-math of the Pomona battle, has gone, leaving in its stead a rather wobbley feeling of uncertainty that must change at once to the absolute spirit of fight, more fight, and still more fight!
The Tiger must not go back to Oxy! U.S.C. has it and shall keep if! Put if this be done the fighting spirit must not be over-confident, yet on the other hand, we must not be pessimistic.
Oxy is coming over here Saturday to redeem the Tiger. U.S.C. must guard it, and guarding it means fight from the word go.
In Excellent Condition The team is whipping into condition again fast, and the men are overanxious to get at the Oxy crew; but the fight hasn't come off yet, and until it does the spirit must be upheld.
Far be it from us to even assume that Old Trojan is a little bit leary, its the uncertainty that is doing the trick, the under-current of rumors that gets nowhere and does much damage And speaking of damage, the Tiger MUST NOT appear Saturday—for the good of both schools and the game; and what’s more, if it does appear the man or men who bring it out are traitors to this institution. Another little point that must not be overlooked is the fact that the Tiger shall never be given back, even if it is torn asunder, sent in a coffin with a milk bottle, or sent back minus a limb. It stays in U.S.C. and U.S.C. will fight to keep it here, that’s all there is to it.
