L?K S$hS£. ife Mi ™ Students began to sit in the shade, not yet worrying about the next mid-term or paper With the beginning of school on the nineteenth, students were surprised to find that the Grill was no longer theirs — the bridge players had to move elsewhere, and hungry Trojans had to seek their food n vending machines which were located all over campus. Not only were the buildings changed, but also the curriculum. The returning seniors were faced with a change in the senior colloquium program of pass- or fail grades. However, that kind of an option is rather frightening for a senior. But if the seniors were to have it hard, then the freshmen would have it harder. The freshmen got lost. The bookstores were crowded. The book lists were confusing. The classes were divided, and teachers were changed. Drop and Add lines formed. The vending machines broke. And — it rained.

It was the red against the gold at Troy Camps annual field games. Mysteriously enough it was a tie . Though August might have been the long hot days of sum- mer, the children who went to Troy Camp could not find the days long enough nor did they notice the heat. This year about 120 children attended the eight-day camp in Idyllwild. The campers were selected as good citizens by schools, boy ' s clubs and com- munity centers in the Los Angeles area. Entirely staffed and financed by the USC students, the camp offers a wealth of fun and new adventures. These boys look as though they might have gotten the neatest cabin award.
