IS THE STAR
Eraking one world’s record of many years' standing, equalling four others, and becoming the apparently innocent cause of an athletic upheaval of international aspects, all fell to the lot of Charles Paddock as a result of his participation in the International Collegiate Track and Field Meet at Paris last week.
On May 3rd Paddock broke the world's record for the 75-meter dash (about 82 yards), making the distance in 8 1-5 seconds. The

Juniors Give Seniors Royal Feed at Hollywood Hotel Friday Evening
DR. VON KLEINSMID SPEAKS
Formal Party Praised by Local Fans in Both Upper Classes
“A large assemblage of elegant ladies, good music, choice refreshments, gay gents—all that contributes to a merry meeting was there, and it was fully enjoyed.” So wrote the editor of a local paper after a dance given in an old hotel of Los Angeles in 1855, and in like terms could he describe the Junior-Senior Banquet of last Friday night.
At 7:45 p. m. the class officers, their escorts, and the guests of honor formed a receiving line at the entrance of the great dining room of the Hollywood Hotel Promptly at eight the seven-course chicken dinner was served. Down through the menu, from fruit cocktail to demi-tasse, cups and goblets were drained and plates were cleaned.
Wilbur Oudermeulen, the “silver-tongued” president of the Class of ’24, acted as toastmaster of the evening. After delivering an address of welcome, President "Buck” introduced Chester McKay, prexy of the ('lass of (CONTINUED OX PAOE 21

all the way through.
Bradshaw was high point man for the Trojans with 10 points to his credit, representing firsts in the rope climb and parallel bars. Smith was runner up with 5 points for first place in the club swinging event. McCabe took second in the rope climb and accounted for 3 points, while Hughes and McGee grabbed a couple of digits apiece for thirds in the long horse and club swinging events.
After this showing, Coach Lee is hopeful that his men will be able to take the measure of the Harvard Military Academy team when the two squads hook up in the S. C. gymnasium next Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock. It isn’t going to be any walkaway, according to Lee, as the Harvard boys have always put up the hottest kind of a battle for honors. The Trojan squad is also weak in second and third place men. and for that reason the Military men may be able to walk away with the long end of the score. Any men who know their stuff in a gymnasium will be warmly welcomed by the Trojan coaching staff and will undoubtedly get a chance to show their wares in outside competition.

Boards Thursday Evening
Just two more days are left to buy one of the pasteboards for the Senior Road Show, to be held Thursday evening in Bovard Auditorium. Tickets are going rapidly, but good seats are still available. This promises to be one of the snappiest productions yet seen on the campus, according to those who have taken a peek at rehearsals.
All »f the acts are rapidly being whipped into shape, and while all proceedings are veiled in deep secrecy, the broad grins on the faces of the managers denote complete satisfaction as to their progress. Ted Hansen, well-known director of the “Follis,” expects the down town vaudeville theatres to •

YEARLINGS PEN NOTE TO AUTHOR
Freshman English composition class, under the direction of Professor Blanks, has written a letter of appreciation to their favorite author, Christopher Morlev, on the occasion of his thirty-third birthday. Upon reading the biography of this young writer in class last Friday it was learned that his birthday was the next day. May •r>th. A decision followed that they would write him a letter of congratulation and admiration. Christopher Morley, according to this class, not only has the art and ability of writing forensic activity human, understandable, clever and interesting poetry and stories, but also has the knack of selecting original titles. “Pipefuls,” “Mince Pie.” “In the Sweet Dry and Dry*” and “Tales From a Rolltop Desk” are a few.
The members of this class are secretly hoping that “Chris” will reciprocate to their friendly efforts.

Beauty critics and devotees are wildly standing on the well-known tin ear in anticipation of this ’event. A well-known “ed,” after suppertitiously peeking at one of the dance numbers, was seen to make a wild dash for the box office and put in his order for a seat in the bald-headed row.

AUTO ACCIDENT ARE RECOVERING
Investigation of the automobile accident of April 28, when five students of the university, members of the Phi Alpha orchestra, were injured, has shown the incident to be enveloped in mystery. One police officer has been suspended, and an attempt is being made to ascertain the identity of his comrade. These men are accused of neglect of duty, because of their failure to report the accident.
On April 28, five youths, whose names are Al Wesson. Mel Lemon, Dean MeCluskey, Elzo McClusky and Edward Abrams, were returning to Los Angeles from Santa Barbara, where they had been fulfilling a musical engagement. While coming up Western avenue, at Wilshire boulevard. they were struck by another car, driven by A. B. Buckley. All those in the student car were injured. Wesson, driver, suffered a fractured hip, fractured arm, and a broken wrist. A basal fracture was received by
advice and consent of the American Collegiate Association, no less than the invitation from Federated Students, and his own University's consent.
It is understood Paddock never asked permission from the A. A. U„ because this meet was in no way connected with that body, being merely a meeting of amateur college students having consent from their separate national collegiate athletic associations to compete.
SHOWDOWN EXPECTED In America there is expected to develop a real “showdown” between the A. A. U. and the American Collegiate Association, the former organization declaring to Paddock's disadvantage, with the latter backing him to the limit, ln Europe, and world wide, the International Collegiate body is back of Paddock as against the supreme power of any single athletic body.

Dorothy Limm, Ruth Cordes; Juniors, Anna Bluemle and Opal Karth. Initiation will be held next Friday evening at the home of Mary B. Kellogg.
Alpha Kappa Delta was established in 1920, according to Dr. Bogardus, and elects honor students among those taking sociology, on a basis of scholarship, achievement in sociology or as a social worker, and personality. The society now has fifty members. Dr. Ernest Lickley, Extension lecturer in sociology for the University, is the president.
Seventy-five per cent of the members already hold prominent positions in sociology or social work in the Southwest.
Ruth Cordes, a senior, has had an article accepted for publication in the Journal of Applied Sociology. She is the first undergraduate that has ever had any work accepted in this journal. The article is “Study of the Delinquency of Fifty Boys.”
