Old Days Before the Dance Craze
HOT WEATHER HAS forced the Trojan eds to abandon their coats and appear in white shirt sleeves.
Sol. coming out early, staying on the job consistently and late, has furthered the spirit of spring fever on the campus. Yesterday hundreds of students rolled in the sands on the beach, telling themselves that it was too hot lo study—and they were right —thus Taking a few minutes recreation which they otherwise would not have enjoyed.
And the beach is the lever's preferred habitat, and the warm spring weather with June but one month away—well, one wonders—the downtown jewelers who advertise in the “Trojan” are doing a flourishing business.
FINAL EXAMINATIONS will soon be the order of the day. for they are tut one month away.
Dr. Montgomery’s statement that Seniors would not be required to take the final exams this spring has quieted the nerves of many of the dignified Trojans. Those finals are nerverack-*ng, true, and to be relieved of tKem for one semester gives one a glow of thankfulness for having attained the cap and gown.
Meanwhile collateral and term papers, to say nothing of social require-' ments, are keeping the Trojan students busy.
TED HANSEN NEW MUSIC PRESIDENT
Ted Hansen, director of “Campus Frolics.” and the Senior Road Show, was elected president of the College of Music unanimously, according to the latest returns from the elections.
Hansen entered U.S.C. only last semester, ln the short time that he has been on the campus, Hansen has achieved one of the most unusual records of «^nv U.S.C. student. In addition to directing the extravaganza and the Senior Road Show, in which Mr. Han-
Dave Belasco, “Ssis” DeMille,4 and last but not least, P. T. Barnuin himself, have had their fingers in the pie to help make the bloomin' thing a success.

Tlie ladies have spoken, and having of verbasity old P. T. s “barkers” could produce if the Road Show thus spoken, their word becomes law was only part of his “Greatest on Earth” instead of a Senior proin so far as the selection of those fair j duction. mortals who will guide, to a certain j extent, the destinies of the Associated Women Students is concerned. The annual meeting, at which time the election of officials is held, arrived and has passed into oblivion, and it is the will of the body that Madame President for the ensuing year be Miss Eleanor Rogers.
To Marion Wood goes the office of vice-president without a dissenting vote. The office of secretary was hotly contested; Kathryn Walstrum finished a very close second to Jean Fort, who was elected with a total of 229 votes, just enough ahead of the vote for Miss Walstrum to gain the office.
An unanimous vote made Lissa Baker treasurer of the organization, end Margaret Clarev and Thelma Summers were elected, respectively, to the offices of social chairman and athletic chairman without any competition.
The vote for members of the execu-! tive committee was unusually close;
four girls were elected by the follow-i ing vote: Parmelia Thompson. 260;
Edith Gates. 230; Ethel Oliver. 230;
Mary Ellen Morrison. 20S.

BY A. HARDING Trojan Dental Staff Member
Even the skeletons that hang all day by the eyebolts in their bleached and dust-drv craniums in the long glass cases at Denial are exciled beyond their usual solemn demeanor. They nod a bit to each other and perhaps even whisper in subdued tones as the passing trucks and suburban cars thunder by, shaking the Technic building and drowning the comments (hat may issue from the bone caverns that once were mouths. What excites them? Why, ihe coming freshman dance, surely.
Now maybe this is not quite true, but we have it on th(*word of a dental freshman who fell asleep yesterday in Biology, that skeletons really do talk. And he tells us that he heard the following dialogue:
SKELETONS TALK Skeleton of Man: “How foolish that "iri is. There she locks the library door again when she knows quite well lhaf wre can’t get off our hooks to get awray. How 1 pity these mortals for iheir lack of vision. Why, what we call birth they term death!”
Skeleton of Chimpanzee: “True; but that lock shuts out those fiesh-laden mortals and gives us a chance »o go on with last night’s conversation. You were telling me about this ihing you of the family of Man call the Dance.”
Skeleton of Man: “It has been years -.ince I’ve danced. In those days dancing • was quite different from this thing we hear the mortals talk about. [ think I could shimmy now, for my joints are loose enough, but as for Chicagoing, I fear my sense of balance was cast off with my burden of rlesh.”
Skeleton of Chimpanzee: I am afraid I could not stand the sight of /ou dancing. When and where would /ou dance, anyway?”

of several hours occasioned by the necessity of counting the votes.
Speeches, humorous and otherwise, were made at the several colleges during the past few days, thus giving the professional students an opportunity to meet the candidates personally, and to hear them from the platform. Friends of ali
the candidates have been working hard to corral the votes of the majority of the students in U. S. C., hoping against hope that their choice would win. From every quarter the campaign managers are the expression of optimism, and glowing accounts of the prospects for the individuals most talked of are spread like fresh butter or Bolshevism.

No changes in tho number of candidates for office have been made since the nominations last Tli^jsday. Voting today will be at every college, and officials of the student body urge that all students visit the polls early.
Unlike downtown newspapers, which are allowed to participate in partisan politics, the “Trojan’’ will not make any predictions for any of th^candi-dates. However,According to political “bugs” on the campus, there is no evident fhoice, if student indications are read correctly.
THREE HARD PUSHERS Three men are pushing^strenuously towrard their goal of student body president. George Kerslake, chairman of Service Campaign and first semester president of fhe junior class; LeRov Wolfe, Trojan Knight president and member of mauy committees; and Harry Silke, president of Commerce Club and chairman of the student en dowment drive, are the three who arf asking the students to put number “one” in the space preceding their names. All three men have beea prominent in student activities and all three are qualified for the position.
For “Trojan” editor, a position whict many student and administration lead ers claim is the most important in'the student body, there are two men com peting. Both have worked on the “Trojan.” both are members of the Press Club, and both have made n name for themselves within the staff.
FOR EDITOR “Okey” King is now' managing editor of the student newspaper. He first began as a reporter, and then served as sport editor for one year. He was president of the sophomore class, is president of the Press* Club, and wrote sports for this year’s El Rodeo. Cecil Carle worked for three years

The q-.iestion ot “a man or a career?” in connection with the futures of the campus “co-eds,” is not quite the, baffling, unsolvable problem that some people are inclined to think if. for the sirls are-of an almost «unani-mous opinion as to how it should be answered ihey ;ill want a man! Of course, they want him in varying degrees of intensity; tlrat is, some want a man so badly that they're not very particular as to his qualifications, while others have very definite requirements in mind for th«ir “Prince Charmings.” The girls also differ as to the time element, some wanting a man now. others eventually.
These facts wrere unearthed during a recent inquiry into the situation and the statements made herein merely sum up the statement* made by the girls themselves in ^informal interviews.

IRREGULAR SEASON
The baseball season has been considerable of an up and down affair this season.
