RESPONSE EO the proposed amendments to the constitution was much like the book on silence—blank.
Three students were all that endeavored to talk; two of them on the proposal to make the “Trojan” editorship appointive, and the other in opposition to the El Redeo amendment.
Just why students will not express themselves on the questions that directly concern them is hard to understand. If the discussion centered rcund bobbed hair, ear rings, types of beauty, or bangs on the upper lip, the energetic co-operation of every student would be assured.

Set Precedent for Other Classes to Follow; “Pernaps” Is Title of Skit
Setting a precedent by presenting an original one act play, open to all j students of the university and spon- I sored by no other motive than univer- ' sity spirit, the sophomore class was ; in charge of assembly yesterday.
The play, ‘‘Perhaps.” which is the . work of Helen Nicholson, of the class ; ol ’25, has received favorable com- I ment from U. S. C. instructors and will be featured in the inter-collegkite vaudeville.
It deals with the story of two girls. -who, finding that a famous authoress is to visit them, casts about for a suitable place to entertain her and finally breaking into the apartment of a ; young bachelor. Dramatic suspense is lent to the play when the bachelor , returns to find them installed in his domicile. His cleverness in sizing up the situation and lending himself to t’'eir intrigue provides some interesting moments.
With the exception of a somewhat premature and forced climax, in which the bachelor acknowledges his capitulation to the charms of the self-sufficient Janet, the play has none of the outstanding incongruities often seen in amateur theatrical compositions. The dialogue is smooth and lends itself to interpretation.
All characters were well done.
Dorothy Hooke as Miss Blair, the author, gave a finished interpretation of her role. but. none the less good were the parts of Janet, as played by Claire Kauffer, and Marion, Edna Jo Carrico.
Edward Wood was easy in his role of “Oscar.” the bachelor, though, perhaps. not mature enough in appearance for the part.
Tlie play was under the direction of Miss Hubbard and Miss Voorhees of the School of Oratory. Virginia Thompson, ’25, was stagf manager.
NEXT WEEK THE Ad Club will give an exhibit which will feature all the merchandise of the advertisers of the campus publications, especially the “T rojan.”
All Trojan students are urged to attend ihe exhibit; entertainment will be furnished, and an opportunity will be given to study several pertinent suggestions which the advertisers will have prepared for the students.
FROM NOW TILL THE close of the University year social functions will occupy the greater part of the average student’s evenings.
Several formats are already on the schedule: informal parties are given at the rate of two to three a week; sororities and fraternities are beginning to schedule entertainments, the senior snaps are on the date book for every other week—verily, verily, the studies still need attention.
Y. M. C. A. OFFICERS for the coming year were installed Wednesday evening at a special dinner given in their honor.
Members of the faculty, student officials and leaders, and old officers of 1 Tie “Y" wished the new officials the best of success the coming year, expressing confidence in their ability to carry the work on with more ferver than ever.
Dr. von KieinSmid was the principal speaker. He gave the message of friendliness and spirit of Y. M. work of a hearty approval.
Professor Power, instructor in. Commerce, has locked the doors of his classroom upon several occasions for the purpose of keeping the late students out of the classroom.
The “Trojan" understands that this procedure is entirely contrary to all police regulations and fire ordinances of the city, and believes that Professor Power or anyone else has not the right to take the responsibility of every life in the classroom upon his own hands.
Getting students to class on time is a problem, the '‘Trojan” admits, but it does not believe that the procedure adopted by the Commerce professor is justified and wishes the University authorities to investigate the report.

COSMOPOLITANS” TO GIVE CONCERT
Friday, the 13th. is already here and with it is the Engineers* Hi-Jinx. All is set for what Marson Robb claims will be the biggest dance of the year. Mel Lemon’s jazz hounds will furnish the syncopation, but Robb says that so much other noise will be present that the orchestra will be of secondary consideration.
Rauth Bush, who has charge of the stunts, promises the best assortment of hair-raising novelties yet presented. Bush says, “In order to make this dance one to be remembered, we are importing our novelty features from France, and if all goes well, the ship ment should be here by Wednesday night. French bisque dollies will be available for any children present, and cow bells from Flander’s Fields will be on hand as the engineers’ insignia.”
Only 65 tickets have been printed and according to Robb they have been completely sold out. Seventy-five couples were originally planned for, and the other ten tickets will probably be issued.
