Golf as a sport will never hold the intense interest that football commands. but it will call forth more players than any other line of activity on the campus.

STUDIOUS MANNERS are. for the first time this semester, in vogue on the local campus.
Fads cc.ne and go. as do the styles of women: college youths continue to have youthful love affairs; professors manage to exist, despite their starvation salaries: the number of automobiles increases year by year; only one thing remains constant—that is the worry of students just before final examinations.
Human nature is much the same throughout the ages: this same nature has its frailties, the one most observed in college life being the inability of a large proportion of the students to participate in student body activities, and the tendency to procrastinte. thus affording a real cause for worry as the finals draw closer.
Interest displayed in the recent inter-high school oratorical con tests demonstrated the growing importance of such events. Interest is no longer confined to an academic group and judges have been chosen on broader lines than ever before.

Trinity Auditorium will be the scene, tonight at 8:15, of the last big concert of the Glee Club of U. S. C. before its departure on an extended eastern tour. This event will be the culmination of con- i certs given at U. S. C. and before music-lovers of Southern California.
Miss Olga Steeb, one of the foremost women pianists of the world and at present a member of the College of Music faculty, has
been secured as a g-uest artist by4^----—--
the Glee Club. Miss Steeb’s con- -
sumate skill and beauty of interpretation have been recognized by critics the world over and will undoubtedly draw a large crowd. A Los Angeles music critic, in speak-, of Miss Steeb, said. “Her fingers seem indefatigable in their supple overcoming of difficulties and her brain exhaustless in its memory.”
Besides the regular program of the (ilce Club, a number of specialties hi»ve been added, which will make the performance of special at-I traction, not only to U. S. C. students, but to outsiders as well, according to Harold Taft, president of the association.

For reasons known only to the printers, the greater part of one paragraph in the criticism of "Polly With a Past” failed to appear in last Tuesday’s “Trojan.” The section lost mentioned the work of three members of the cast, Ray McDonald, Bill Fox and Paul Palmer.
The paragraph began: "If one were to compare the junior play with the original Belasco production, the work of at least three juniors is worthy of comment.” The remainder of the paragraph did not appear in the final printed form.
In justice to the players thus accidentally omitted from the review, the “Trojan” will attempt to review the comments made in the original criticism.
Ray McDonald, in the opinion of the writer, made more of the role of the musician than did the original Belasco player. Bill Fox was considered on par with the professional actor, who played his role in the Broadway company. Paul Palmer was considered a better Sikes than the original supporting Ina Claire.

ART EXHIBIT IN ANNEX THIS WEEK
Architecture and Allied Arts departments are holding an exhibit of their year’s work in the Annex building, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Among tbe exhibits are one building, which took First Mention Place, and which took first mention in the Beaux Arts competitions.
Another series of exhibits which students of U. S. C. will find interesting ; are the solutions of Architecture stu-| dents of the University of Southern | California campus problems. Men’s j and Women’s dormitories, a Presi-! dent’s house and buildings for each of | the colleges which are now scattered j over town on the campus, are features of these plans.
Among the plaster casts made by the students, there is a Tragic Mask, copied from a terra-cotta mask excavated in Poompeii done by Paul Sil-vius, which will measure up with similar work in professional exhibits. Other remarkable features can be found in the work done by the classes working with live models.
Along with the flow of work which is sweeping before it a conglomeration of term papers, crib notes, collateral readings, and ghosts of bygone activities, classes are • now swept into the whirl of class elections. Nominations were made yesterday, and elections are in order for next week.
The senior class, the most heavily swamped, is grasping at last straws, but Skipper ('hester McKay is op timistic in his hopes of pulling them through and turning the good ship over to either Stanley Wheeler or .Kenneth Campbell, the junior nominees for the presidency of next j year’s senior class.
Nominations in the junior class were as plentiful as entries in the Kentucky Derby, and a beautiful little race for honors is seen in the offing. A triangular skirmish for the secretaryship is on between Bernice Kelly,
