Politic* Stirring Candidates Groomed Consider Proposals Ad Club Exhibit Special Exams
POLITICS IS BREWING, as usual, now that April has come and the spring elections but a month away.
Underneath the passive exterior of the student body, propagandists are busy scattering their particular hobbies among the ninety and nine out of every hundred who are easily influenced by friends.

Los Angeles, California, Tuesday, April 10. 1923
No. 76
SEVERAL CANDIDATES have been suggested for A. S. B. president, some of whom have been groomed since they were freshmen for the coming ordeal. To one who is familiar with the workings of organizations the manifestations and limitations of the political aspirants are as plain as the indications of spring.
V. S. C. lias always been noted for1 particularly close and hard fought flections. Usually the main fight centers round two opposing lraternities, sometimes round the candidates themselves, hut the selfish ends of either group cannot be denied.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS considering several proposals to change the method of political campaigning on the campus.
Th*1 only iimitatioh v.hich is placed upon expenditures of ambitious candidates row is the narrow, loose, mutual understanding of competing aspirants. The expenses of some candidates have, in the past, run well over one hundred dollars. This is prohibitive to the poorer student, who, frequently, is the much better man for, the office, hut cannot negotiate the “prad^" because of the cost connected with politics.
Co-ed Gets Job to Become Independent
One of our wealthy young coeds would live in a hat and dine on perfume* rather than seek shelter and good as mere mortals do.
This startling discovery came aft^r she had bought a hat for $35 and a few gallons of perfume at $10 an ounce.
She decided she would rather spend the $200 on clothes and work for her board. Accordingly she obtained a position in a privale family.
When asked what her family thought of the matter, she sweetly replied. “My family— oh, you mean my mother and father—why 1 haven't told them. You see, 1 still get my check and other important mail at the House, so they don’t know the difference.”
She concluded the interview hy adding, “Oh, honey, you dont* know what a perfectly wonderful feeling it is to be self-supporting."

SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS for
those with incompletes on their report cards will be held Friday and Saturday.
Seniors must have all their work made up by May 15 in order that the Registrar's office may compile their records and make arrangements for the graduation of those who fulfill the University requirements.
The busiest part of the University war is now coming—term papers, the bugaboo of all students, are crowding for recognition; sporatic examinations are claiming their share of interest; social events multiply every day. and divided interests split up the unity of the student body.
For the seniors, however, the commencement week will hold the biggest interest of all. In the meantime they wonder if they will be required to take the final semester examinations, or whether they will be excused from them in accordance with the custom of the University.
Responding to encore after encore, the Flonzaley Quartet, generally conceded to be the finest string quartet in the country, appeared Saturday evening in Bovard Auditorium, concluding the series of Artists’ Course concerts for the season. *
The grace and brililancy of the numbers and the masterly way in which they were handled merited the enthusiastic applause accorded them by the University audience.

There has been a great deal of talk in regard to a team being sent to Paris, to the Drake relays and a good many other places. The straight of the situation at the present time is Paddock’s going to Paris, no team will be sent to the Drake relays, there will be a team entered in the Pacific Coast conference meet in Pullman.

BASEBALLERS MEET CALTEK NINE TODAY
This afternoon the U. S. C. baseball nine will step over to Caltek for a nine-lnning fracas. At least, it is expected to be nine innings, but since the eleven-inning game with Cal. the Trojans are prepared to stay all evening if necessary to cop the bacon. "Chief” Newman pitched the long game, and so it is probable Captain Thornton will tend to the hurling today. although it is possible the “Chief’ may repeat.
The team has been working long enough to be in good shape, and while the Engineers should be fairly easy to bowl over, it ought to be interesting to see what improvements the northern trip made.
Grant Kuhns took his freshman prodigies over to Lincoln again last night. The Babes have been plugging along and supplying the local high schools with their regular quota of wallopings every week. Colleges in this vicinity don't appear to possess any frosh squads, so the city high schools have been furnishing all the competition.
“The quality of ball the boys are playing sems to be worthy of better competition,” Coach Kuhns declared yesterday. “I hope next year’s team has an opportunity to meet the Cal and Stanford frosh. Lack of interest is the only thing that might prevent it."
