This night is eagerly looked forward to by both the girls and boys 4s the night when everybody is at liberty to talk to everybody else as long as he pleases until someone interrupts. The boys were instructed to write their names and pin them on their lapels, and since the girls had previously labeled themselves, formality was heedlessly thrown aside, the merriment increasing in ardor, if not in order. The ever dependable Wilbur Zeigler and Paul Rich furnished musicthrough out the evening to gladden the hearts and feet of the big number who wanted to dance. Eleven oclock came quickly, but the night was not without its effect, for, although the boys were reluctant to say good night, they delighted in the thought of other nights, and on numer ous occasions was heard, "Whatcha doin tomorrow night ?" Which all goes to prove "Open House" night is one affair we couldn't ever afford to lose. -Usc New Arrangements Care for Co-eds The University is glad to announce the completion of the new co-ed athletic field, which is directly opposite the Wo man's Buiiding. It will be used for the first time this fall, hockey occupying the fall season, soccer the winter, and pro bably track the spiring.
