E DEER $MUXEDE$UEEE Santa Claus, in the person of the Three Arts Guild, gave an annual concert as a parting Christmas gift to the student body. A large attendance was enthusiastic in its applause for the renditions of the glee clubs, and was generous in its applause 0f the play What Men Live By, offered by Pendragon. 'lWhat Men Live By is classed as one of the most finished dramatic productions given by the college. Another patting gift was fired by the faculty, in the form of flve hundred failure notices. After the holidays, students centered their interest in the opening of the basketball season, but gave a part of their attention to the splendid recital given at the Spreckels theatre by Harry Anderson and Garry White. The Sophomore dramatists presented their annual play, The Genius, the second week after vacation. It was a sparkling comedy, filled with laughs and fine character interpretations. Basketball season opened with a bang, and the Aztec squad defeated the Pomona Sagehen quintet and evened the smarting that the football defeat had left. State College practically doubled the score made by Pomona throughout the entire game, and when the final whistle blew, the tally read 32-18. Not busy enough in the realm of sports, the coaches called the traditional Irish Marathon, running two twenty-five men relay teams, each man covering a quartet of a mile. The combined team of Freshmen-Juniors won over the Senior-Sophomote aggregation. Socially, the college was busy with a new feature, in the form of a Dancing contest held at the weekly noon dances. Prizes were offered to the best couple chosen at the end of three weeks' competition. The evening interests were found in the annual winter Junior Prom, given for the graduating Senior class, and in the traditional Inter-Fraternity- sorority ball, given every year at the Hotel del Coronado, which was attended by all campus fraternity and sorority members. A change in the editor of the Aztec came as a surprise to all. Franklin Archer, '31, editor for the first semester, and news editor of the sheet the preceding term, resigned his position in favor of Miss Virginia Monosmith, '31. The new editor announced no start- ling changes in her policies, and the paper appeared as usual, on time. Of much interest to the entire campus was the invasion of the new Freshmen students at the opening of the Spring semester. These eager young students numbered 161 in all, and they entered into the spirit of 'being Freshmen very quickly. This was no doubt accented by the fact that the Traditions Court had been revised, and under serious obliga- tions to the upper-classmen, they had promised to punish all offenders found among the wearers of the green. The court meeting caused much excitement, and even hilarity upon its meeting. Coupled with this policing of the new students was the usual bursting excitement of the rushing season. This closed after two weeks of concentrated efforts on the part of the rusher and the rushee, and the campus settled back to normal again with a sigh of relief. Spring semester is usually crowded with dramatic offerings, and first of note on the calendar, was the One-Act Play tournament given by the drama classes. After many weeks of producing and judging, the best two comedies, and the best two tragedies, were chosen for final competition. The final tournament was held at the Wednesday club house, and the offering resulted in a pleasantly spent evening. The orchestra presented several selections and the plays were worthy of the fine applause. Vacancies in the executive ofhces of the student body brought forth nominations and elections. The same week, the Associated Men Students' organization held a stag smoker Page iliwcnly-six
