Organizations Are Functioning for Coolidge. Johnson, Lowden and La Follette
QUOTAS NEARLY FILLED
Great Interest Being Shown by Students in Political Questions
The Republican Party took a great step iorward toward victory yesterday noon, when students of the University of Southern California met and formed clubs in preparation for the Repub-ican Convention which is to be staged in Bov£ird Auditorium next month.
1 he Lowden Club enthusiastically elected Hal Williamson as president, and Cecil Graves as secretary. The Johnson Club voted for Ruth AMen as president, and Sam Gates as secretary. The La Follette C ub decided on Kennetili Mann for president «nd Mary Hood for secretary. The Coolidge Club elected R. B. Ericson president, and Ernest Rol'i secretary. The Hughes Club failed to materialize.
Nothing has raised as much comment since the Cal game as has the formation of these clubs. Chairmans have been chosen for each state and tl e state delegations are fast being formed. These de’egations must be completed by next week.
Students particularly interested, and desiring to join one of these delegations should see either one of the state chairmen or president of one of the clubs. It is the desire of the le. ders of this movement to have the delegations as representive of true Trojan opinion as is possible.
General Chairman James Mussatti is elated over the successful beginning of this enterprise. “For manT years students Hiave taken little or no interest in politics,” he says. “Today, however, they are waking up to the great possibilities before them and I am glad that the students of U. S. C. are among the first to express their nterest in affairs of national interest.”
By FREEMAN HALL Forty-three years ago in answer to the call of Christian education for an institution of higher learning in Southern California, nine prominent men of Los Angeles raised funds for the fir: t building of the University of Southern California. These far-se ing men were Ozro W. Childs, Isaias W. Heilman, John G. Do\ -ney, A. M. Hough, Joseph P. Widney, E. F. Spence, Marion M -Kinley Bovard, G. D. Compton, and Robert M. Widney.
— c This morning in honor and in tribute to these men and their accomplishments in founding the University of Southern California and fostering its growth students, faculty, and friends will gather in the Bovard Auditorium.
Forming at ten-thirty on the Old College lawn, led by the University band, eight hundred men and women. Senior class, together with the Faculties and Deans will proceed to the Bovard Auditorium.
The ceremonies, which are to be presided over by President Rufus B. von Kleir.Smid. will begin with the singing of ‘‘All Hail,” then filing down the F.is es of the auditorium dressed in their academic ccstumes will come the largest class of Seniors the Uni-ve sitlv has ever graduated.

Each sorority is expected to be on hand to root for their respective representatives.
A parade will start at one o’cock and camera men will be present to take moving pictures of the knights and ladies. Two of the novel features offered, which, however, are not symbolic of olden times, are a three-legge'd race and a sack race.
If it can possibly be arranged the band will be there to help add glamour to the a^air.'

Second “Snap” is April 9 Previous Dates Are Barred
Same hours, same place, same music, but a better time for all is the slogan of the committee in charge of the Senior Snap. The committee is Maurine Stevens, Helen Norton Hall, Hazel Brow'n, Ray Edwards, Wa’do King and Dave Cleveland, w*ho are arranging to give tlhe Seniors the best time ever Wednesday night, April 9. “Lyn” Robb is again in charge of the transportation committee, and he especially urges all those who have not any means of getting to the dance to see him and free transportation will be provided them.
“Dates as they were for the last Snap are absolutely and positively barred. They will not be toCerated. But we do heartily sanction masculine protection against the dangers of the city going home,” said Marjorie.
“Our crowd passed all expectations,” said Butch Edwards. “Even though the rain was against tlie success of the Snap. Seniors turned out wonderful. Next Snap we are planning on
twice the number of people present. And with “Bud” King's orchestra to furnish the music again the affair shou’d surpass the previous success-full Snap. We wift tlhink. however, that there are many Seniors who are not planning on taking advantage of these get4ogethers.” All Seniors of each college are invited.
The Snap of April the ninth is the second of the annual affairs to he given by the Senior class for the Senior class>—in other words, says the committee, “it is a Senior activity from start to finsh.” The dates of next five of the Snaps are not definite, but it is probable that they will occur at fortnghtly periods.
The location of the Holton Arms Apartments for those who did not attend the affair last Wednesday, is 405 West Adams StreeL With music by “Bud” King’s orchestra, and with admission only twenty-(five cents, the committee promises every Senior a bumper time at the second Snap. Wednesday, April 9.
