First Comment Utah Orators Yellow Dog Ten Millions
FIRST COMMENT WHICH the
•‘Trojan’’ prints is in opposition to the changing of the constitution of the student body, which was advocated in Thursday's editorial.
Other students have sent signed articles to the office, and they will be run later. Most of tha comment is in favor of a change, but, naturally, there are those who are opposed to such action.
The “Trojan” hopes that those writing will work in the light of constructive criticism, an dwill give a number of suggestions that will be invaluable to the future welfare of the student body.

This Evening

Los Angeles, California, Friday, March 9, 1923

Campaign Succeeds; Silke Thanks Teams
UTAH ORATORS WILL meet the local forensic artists tonight in an effort to give the Trojan debaters the first defeat of the season.
I’. S. C. has one of the strongest, f not the strongest, debating squad in California. To date it has won every debate, and has the championship of the southern colleges clinched. The 1'tonion orators, however, have been schooled in the work of*debating, and have often won from the Southern California representatives. Both sides are well prepared for the battle of words tonight, and will be worth the support of the entire student body.
YELLOW DOG WILL COME out
with its customary humor in about two weeks. The Sigma Sigma pledges arc already gathering up “dirty digs” with which to plaster the campus. The occasion for the coming of another yellow journal, as all older students know, is a celebration of the initiation of the junior men’s honorary pledges. The sheet will be sold for ten cents instead of the regular fifteen.
CcuRors, according to those who are getting up the copy, are absolutely taboo. Last year several laughs were had on profs from Law. and this year special pains are being taken to assure the Dentists, the Lawyers, the Druggists and the Liberal Arts students an even break.
Our campaign has been a success. We have witnessed a mighty demonstration of Trojan spirit, and individually we should be more proud of the fact that we are Trojans.
I want to express to every Trojan the appreciation of the Student Campaign Committee for the help and coo-peration given.
And I want, personally, to give a hearty “thank-you” to each worker, lieutenant, and captain for their share in putting our campaign over.

“CAMPUS FROLICS” GIVEN AGAIN BY POPULAR REQUEST
Musical Extravaganza of Campus Life To Be Repeated Thursday Night, March 22nd
In order that those who missed “Campus Frolics” may be given an opportunity to see it, and in order that those who laughed themselves sick may see it again and laugh themsalves well, the big University musical extravaganza will be staged again on Thursday night, March 22nd. Hundreds of requests have reached Manager Frank Hadlock to stage the show again, and it is Expected that a capacity house will greet the return performance, which will be put on under the auspices of the Trojan Club, an organization composed chiefly of alumni letter men,
“Campus Frolics,” a farce comedy of college life, written by Al Wesson, with musical numbers in it composed by Edgar Hansen and Al Wesson, was accorded a roaring, enthusiastic reception at its premier on February 15th. Since its presentation demands for its return have poured in from those woh wished to see it again, and from many who lost out on their first opportunity. The Trojan Club decided to promote another performance in order that alumni especially should get the opportunity of witnessing what has been declared to be U. S. C.’s greatest show.
TICKETS SOON Tickets are not yet on sale, but reservations may be made with Frank Hadlock, business manager of “Campus Frolics.” When the sale starts tickets are expected to go rapidly; so students are advised to reserve seats now.
Rehearsals for the extravaganza will start some time next week, according to Edgar Hansen, the director, whose splendid work in connection with the show was so largely responsible for its tremendous success. Hansen advises all principal characters to brush up on their parts in order to have them in perfect shape when rehearsals start again. The co-ed chorus girls
Juniors Have Plan
For Unique Gift
“Bronze Trojan” may be the Junior Class gift to the University, according to an announcement by Harry Kennedy, manager of the class play, on the Junior floor yesterday noon. The announcement came as the result of an executiv# committee meeting cf the cias>, held early last week.
According to rough estimates obtained by Kennedy, the proposed 3tatue is to be of bror.ze, and to cost in the neighborhood of $3COO. Several prominent artists have been asked to submit bids on the work.
Further data will be obtained by the executive committee before the next class meeting, and a complete report will be made at that time.

Professor H. J.

Yesterday’s “Trojan ; published the report in accordance to a statement made by the chairman of the student wTelfare committee which elicited the following comments from members of the clubs most directly, concerned: “The statement which appeared in yesterday’s ‘Trojan’ in regard to the Episcopal Club’s disbanding is entirely erroneous,” stated Margaret Myers, vice-president aud acting chairman of the club. “We have not disbanded and have no intention of doing so at this time.
PREXY’S ASSURANCE
“President von KieinSmid assured Mr. Ibbetson, president of the Newman Club, and myself, when we talked with him on Wednesday, that this matter would not be definitely acted upon until we could bring the chaplains of our organizations to him for consulta tion.”
Bernard Ibbetson said that he felt some mistake must have been made when the report was made through the “Trojan.” He expressed confidence in what he claims Dr. von Klein-Smid told him, and,* in general, endorsed the statement made by Mias Myers.
