Start Drive Against Faulty Auto Parking at U. S. C.
Scattered around the University there are several places on the curbs painted red with the words DO NOT PARK HERE in bold, black letters printed thereupon. To those persons who are either color blind or cannot read and persist in parking their cars in these spaces, drastic forms of punishment will be meted out. This ultimatum is sent out by no other than Bud Welin, president of the Trojan Knights acting upon the numerous complaints of Superintendent Huse of the Grounds committee.
“It's a fact," says bold Bud, “that the people at the University will not pay any attention to these signs. They were put there for a purpose and appear to be about as useful as a gnat’s beard. If someone is parked in these spaces sometime—and finds a tag waiting for them, they will know that the Trojan Knights, as a body, are going to clear up the trouble.”
Welin als ostates that the Uni versity street is to be no longer an Ascot or Beverly speedway. Cutouts are also on the taboo list along with any superfluous noise, except some Ford that can't help itself.
“Someone is liable to be killed the way the students are driving up the street at the present time, quoths Bud, “and before this happens, we want to warn the would-be racers against attempting to lower speed records on University avenue.”

Trojans Lose Out In Race for
So. Cal. Debate Title
For the first time in the history of debating at U. S. C. the Trojan debate team has failed to take the Southern California Debating Title. The Trojans, by virtue of a defeat at the hands of the Southern Branch debaters last Thursday evening, are now lodged in third place, w’hile Redlands and the Southern Branch of the University of California are tied for the leadership.
Ned Lewis and Arthur Syvertson dropped a close decision to the S. B. U. C. debaters on the Southern Branch platform while Ray Brennan and Bill Moore were handing the Redlands squad its first defeat of the season. The expert judging system was used in both debates, instead of the audience decision plan.
Southern Branch came to the front by winning from both Cal Tech and U. S. C. last week, while Redland lost to U. S. C. and won from Whittier. Trojan debaters are now preparing for debates with other Pacific Coast Universities.

Mock Convention Will Teach Students Actual Election Procedure
PLANS NEARLY COMPLETE
Credentials for Delegates Being Prepared by Committee
By RALPH HOLLY
That the mock political convention which is to be held here will serve as an educational inspiration to the student body, is the combined opinion of many factulty members. One states that with the complete cooperation of every student the whole schol will receive an appreciation of how a national convention actually works.
Notice comes from the office of the general chairman, James Mussatti, that work on the different committees is progressing rapidly and the various actions of the convention are being planned, so the business of the political conclave may be handled with ease and facilitation. At the present time the Committee on Credentials headed by Buck Oudermeulen and the Committee on Rules, headed by Edwin Martin, are busy arranging their reports to the convention. To date no state’s delegation has been contested. It was learned yesterday that the seat for the one delegate from the Philippines has been claimed by two persons. To prevent a stubborn fight on the floor of the conven- I tion the general chairman has recommended that each of the contestants be allowed one-half vote.
The Committee on Resolutions, headed by Vera McClaren of California, is working on the platform which is to be presented for the convention’s approval. The exact structure of the

Dance Held at California Coun- sion, Saturday morning
try Club to be An An-	Recreation and tea by Santa Ana
By CHET MACKIE
Because of many recent and numerous inquiries by students of the University concerning the exact financial status of the Glee Club, J. R. Thomas, newly-elected president of the club, Friday made a formal statement telling what is done with the money earned by the Glee Club. This information is given in the hope that it will correct false impressions lormed by students and result in better cooperation between students 3f the University and members of the Glee Club.
The Glee Club is composed of men who have successfully passed the o-cal requirements outlined by Horatio Cogswell, director of the club, and who have paid ten dollars initial fee and one dollar per month dues. Besides this, members of the club must provide themselves with their own costumes, and this costs approximately $125.
The club has three sources of income: money received from its mem. bers, money given by the University, and money earned from its concerts. The ten dollars initial fee goes to pay for music for the club, and this barely covers the cost. A fund of $500 is furnished by the Advertising Department of the University, but this money is not used unless in case of emergency, when the other sources of income have become exhausted.	j FUNDS TO TREASURY The average Glee Club concert nets one hundred dollars. Expenses are paid out of this and the money lefe goes through the College of Music into the University treasury. The money made at the Campus Concert on January 23 was deposited into the University in this manner. It is held there and all expenses are drawn from this fund. Some of this money will be used to finance the New York trip this summer, the University will not pay the club’s expenses. At the end of the year the books will be balanced. So far, the club’s books have balanced each year, proving that it is self-supporting.
Men who will take this eastern trip will not receive anything in return, other than their expenses, and this will be a small amount. Last year the club took twenty men, including the (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO)

These gifted young musicians are Jan. pianist. Leo, violinist, and Misc.hel, violincellist, and are acknowledged by the press of the world as extremely highly developed in brilliant musical ensemble, 'lhe course is given for benefit of the U. S. C. Woman’s Building.
As a trio, they are said to possess sublime and inspired harmony, as well as taking a delight in bringing out tbe soul of music. In 1901, they be-can their career, and have since appeared before delighted audiences ln every nook of the globe. They took London by storm in 1906 and have continued to grow in favor, splendor and musical power until the very pinnacle has been reached.
Among the elements responsble for their success has been their harmonious perseverance and patience in untiring practice together, an inborn artisUc sense, and real sympathy as a trio. They regard their life worn as a beautiful thing, and there is no public or private jealousy or friction to lower the perfection of what they consider sacred. Such immortals of the musical world as Saint-Saens and Nesbitt proclaim that the members of the trio are foremost among living musicians.
Tickets are available at the Associate Students Store, Birkel Music Co.. and University headquarters. 525 S. Oiive St., for seventy-five cents, one dollar, and one-fifty.

SOPHOMORE DENTS TRY NEW SYSTEM
Dance Given at K. of C. Hall Under Student Finance Management
Dental celebrated its first social affair Friday night when nearly four hundred couples attended the Sophomore dance at the K. of C. hall.
The dance was the first to be given under the new plan for student finance management and was a tribute to the system. The plan was started in Oc. tober when an assessment was levied upon each student to cover the expenditures for recreational activities for the year and to get an El Rodeo subscription. This means that Dental is no longer bothered and bored by the ticket sellers and money gatherers of the past. It also accounts for the 100 per cent subscription to the annual.
The dance was enjoyable from beginning to end, according to reports. A program consisting of several harmony numbers was presented by the Dental quartet who will be heard from again in the minstrel show.
A huge pennant bearing the word “DENTAL” hung at one end of Hie hall. Throughout the evening colored spotlights played upon the dancers and upon the pennant. Confetti and serpentines were aids to gaity.
Music was furished by Fanfon's seven-piece orchestra. The committee of Sophomores responsible Cor the success of the affair were Kenneth Edgars, Benny Moeur, Emerson Spicer, McGee and Cottam. Class Presidents Olds, Olsen. Mueller and Bowers helped to put the dance across.
