Past Ame BY IIICHARD SULLIVAN Staff Writer The newer portions of the USC campus tend to be conservatively modern, in keeping with the pres ent trend toward functional archi tecture; but on the Horseshoe there is evidence of architecture of the past. One of these tradi tional reminders of the past era of American architecture is Rut ledge Chapel, built in 1804.

After the electoral votes were counted, a profes sor of the English department commented, "Well, it looks as if Dixie got stuffed back in the bag. * * A Republican, mourning the election outcome, was s e e n wearing a Nixon-Lodge button pinned to a black arm band. "One year I went hunting," remarked a professor to his hygiene class, "and I almost lost my jo). My students re fused to come to class for a week and reported to the presi dent that they wouldn't until I took a bath." . . . Poor thing, he had been s pr ayed with skunk perfume.

He's the most popular boy in my frater nity. There's one thing that he's got that I haven't . . . money." Recently a student majoring in "diplomacy" decided to try b e i n g tactful and diplomatic towards one of his professors. He wrote his professor a letter saying that he had received a grade of 86 on an exam, and it should have been a 76. Perhaps "an honest man is the noblest work of God," or perhaps by giving his profes sor the impression that he is honest, he received a better grade at mid-term. * * * Freshman remarked, "The only way that I'll pass chemis try is for my professor to kick the-bucket before the next hour quiz." Jean: "Are you taking bi ology 11?" .John: "No, it's taking me." "Students should be seen, but not heard," remarked a profes sor after being continually in terrupted during his lecture by a boy flirting with a coed on the back row.
