Debating the repeal of the “Criminal Syndicalism Act.’ a momentous question which has already stirred the people of the State, the University of Southern California will uphold tbe negative side, considering whether- the present law is justified. The recent acts of Upton Sinclair, author and speaker on “free speech” will be questioned and his motives explained.
This debate is but one of three, whicb is to take place in order to determine the champions of Califor nia. The event is the annual triangular contest with Stanford and California. l^ast year this contest was in-naugurated with California losing to Ned Lewis and Roland Maxwell at Bovard Auditorium. At the same time Louis D'Elia and Elroy Remes losing to Stanford on the Palo Alto platform. So far this year the comparative strength of the three institutions is not certain, the outcome of this triangular event will undoubtedly display which school is leading the collegiate debating world in California-

The Trojan Knights have ben delegated to handle the technical end of I the voting, since the executive committee, in their last meeting made final rulee governing the procedure and arranged for printing of* ballots. As an organization, the chief function of the Knights will be that of preventing electioneering in the vicinity of the polls. This ruling, an oid one, which heretofore has not been efficiently enforced, stipulates that no one will be allowed Xo electioneer for any candidate for office, on the. steps or under the arcade of tbe administration building.	»
A new system of voting will also be inaugurated at these elections, providing for more accurate determination of the popular candidates. Known in political science as the preferential system, each elector will mark his preference in one, two, three order. Then through a system of averages the candidate receiving the highest will be elected. This system will also prevent the necessity of a double election in case of tie,
A correction in the Freshman ballot changes the name of Frank Ferguson to Frank Curtis and withdraws Willard Brown, who has previously held office with the class and has declined the nomination.

Romantic Age” Given in Touchstone Theatre Friday Evening Well Directed, Capably Acted and Admirably Staged
By CHET MACK IE
School of Speech’s production of A. A. Milne’s “Bomantic Age” received a splendid reception Friday night when it was presented in the Touchstone Theatre. The play, sparkling with delightful wit, was well directed, capably acted, and admirably staged. The leading character in the play is Melisande Knowle, who, as the result of reading too much ’of Tennyson and the “Idylls of the King.” 'becomes exceedingly imbued with romance of the Round Table type. She rejects the love of Bobbie Coote, because he lacks the romantic spirit. Bobbie find consolation in the smiles of Jabe Bagot; and while wandering in the forest, Melisande finally meets her Prince Charming in the person of Gervase Mallory, a stockbroker. Mallory is dressed as a prince for a fancy dress ball and
has lost his way. A situation arises when Mallory calls at the Knowle home and is dressed not in his romantic garb, but as an everyday man. This causes a change in the heart of Melisande who now informs Bobbie that she will marry him. She is this time rejected by Bobbie, for he is now greatly interested in Jane. Melisande at last forgets her disappointment in her prince and accepts him as a twentieth century man.
Bronson Howard, as Bobbie, did the best bit of acting during the evening, showing rare ability as an actor. He was not dependent upon humorous lines to get a laugh; his gestures and facial expressions resulted in many outbursts from his audience. Mr. Howard has a leading part in the Extravaganza and his appearance in that production is certain to add greatly to its success. At present Mr. Howard is directing “Believe Me Zantippe” for the University High School.
Clare Kaufer, as Melisande, was pleasing and deserves praise. Her part nevertheless did not offer her many opportunities to do her best.

Fisk, speaking as a representative of the Board of Control, also announces that no rebate of less than 50 cents will be p<iid t>y the book store. “This means that a student must have at least $6.25 worth of cash register checks to receive the dividend. We are not doing this.'' he says, “ in order to cut certain students out of their rebate. It is for the purpose of cutting down expenses in the distribution of the dividends. Since all payment must •be made either by voucher or check, we would waste as much tiTie and money as a five or ten cent dividend would be worth to the s-. it collecting it. Besides we foe’ *h* not many students would hot: nr individually to co:’ t suih -is».. rebates.”
