Such arp the characters that attract studei't attention. And such are ihe methods needed to get the students down to an exhibit that is really put on for their benefit.
FROM ALL INDICATIONS the advertiser's exhibit, which is put on by the Ad Club, is proving successful. The merchants express themselves as satisfied with the number of students who saw their exhibits yestedray.
But those who have not gone down to the “V” Hut to see the display are missing an opportunity to get ac quainted with student publication ad vertisers that would prove profitable to both parties.

VARIED ACTS TO APPEAR
THRONGS CROWD AD EXHIBIT :t HELD IN THE Y. M. C. A. HUT
Nearly all regular advertisers in the Southern California Trojan have arranged display booths for the University Ad Club Exhibit in the Y. M. C. A. Hut. The exposition was officially opened Wednesday noon with a race between a pair of more or less famed quadrupeds, “Spark Plug” and “Opal.”
At the close of the contest the huge crowd of students who had witnessed the initial contest thronged into the improvised exposition building. Many were unable to gain entrance to the exhibit at noon, returning later in the day.
Display booths were conducted by more than twenty firms. Trojan banners and colors were festooned about the “Y” Hut, while each display possessed the individuality and originality of the downtown windows.

Pay Banquet Dups
It is absolutely necessary that all junior men and women pay their four dollars towards defraying the expenses of the Junior-Senior banquet on May 4, 1923. Men, too, both junior and senior, should take time to make their dates today and tomorrow. Arrangements are nearing completion and little more can be done without the necessary $4 from each and every junior.
Juniors, bring your money.

Campbell’s Orchestra Will Furnish Music; Adah KieinSmid Arranges Program
“Eds” and their little co-ed playmates are expected to drag the old full dress out of moth balls on the evening of April 2S and indulge in a terpsichorean frolic called the “All Formal,” at the Alexandria Hotel. The absence of an admission price is expected to be an added featuie, and an extra large attendance is expected by those in charge of the affair.
Campbell’s orchestra promises to have all of its teasing, agonizing tunes in good working order, and anyone so inclined to rhythmic movement will find conditions ideal. Adah Klein-* Smid is in charge of the program, and she has arranged for a short, snappy , oui1 about 10 or 10:30.
GLEE CLUB QUARTET The University Glee Clnh quartet has promised to sing during the evening and Miss KieinSmid has arranged for a piano and violin solo that will round out the entertainment of the evening.
Zada Pierce is in charge of the refreshments and is working with Max Janey of Pharmacy. Mr. Janey has secured the punch at cost and he prom ises that uo one need go home thirsty. DR. AND MRS. GAW THERE Dr. and Mrs. Allison Gaw and Dr. and Mrs. Lowry are expected to represent the faculty at this annual affair.
"We feel that every student should come to this affair, because it is the one time when all of the students come together, not as members of certain classes or organizations, but as members of the U. S. C. student body. Remember it's all free.” said Miss Frances Cattell. vice-president of student body, yesterday.
DID THIS EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
Twenty years from tomorrow will be Christmas, if the student carefully follows the program set forth for him by his thoughtful professors.
This sounds deep but follow closely and twenty years from tonight you. too, shall be hanging up your stocking for old Santa to fill.
Have you ever "agonized” with mille? Have you sniffled at the sorrows of “The Lady With the Camillas?" If not, an opportunity will be given at the Senior Road show to be staged Thursday, May 10.
What if a super-siren were to invade the campus of U. S. C.? What would be the result if the above mentioned-valorous vamp should be turned loose in the midst of the susceptible males? These questions will also be answered on the evening of the forthcoming event.
The identity of the actors (note actors. not actresses, in this drama) is at present shrouded in a dark mystery. Many guesses have been hazarded, however, and it is generally thought that well-known celebrities of the campus will take part.
This number is only one of many to be presented by representatives of all the colleges under the capable direction of the manager of the Campus Frolics.

Another jewelry and stationery firm, T. V. Allen Co., showed the different steps in the complete manufacture of college jewelry. The use of dies, plating and settings were all demonstrated.

PADDOCK REFUSED SANCTION BY A.A.U.
Charles Paddock, University of Southern California sprint star, will not run in the International Collegiate meet to be held in Paris this spring, according to press dispatches from New York. The Governing Board of the National A. A. U„ after hearing Paddock's presentation of the case, refused to sanction the sprint king's trip abroad.
Paddock stated to the Governing Board that as the Paris meet was a collegiate affair he had anticipated no opposition from the A. A. U. to his participation. Reasons given for the action of the A. A. IT. Governing Board wTere that a ruling had been adopted against allowing American athletes to go abroad to compete in athletic meets in order to concentrate training for the 1924 Olympic games in Paris.
Paddock stated that he would abide by the ruling of the A. A. U. officials and would not run while abroad. He will go abroad, however, to attend to

Another unusual feature of the day will be the reappearance of Spec Schiller, demon U. S. C. quarter miler. who will once again don the spikes in an effort to outshine Yale Martz. Spec will perform for the Athletic Club, along with Emmons, Corey and Richards, ot-her ineligible U. S. C. men.
The weight events are almost sure to uncork some unusual performances. In these the most noted performers will be Bud Houser, U. S. C. frosh; Alma Richards, for L. A. A. C.; Norman Anderson, stellar Trojan weight man. “Swede” is a big favorite for both weight events, with Bud Houser edging him closely.
However, most of the speculation hereabouts concerns the hurdles races between Otto Anderson, of IT. S. C\, and Charley Daggs of Pomona, with Maxwell, Pomona, thrown in for good measure. Otto and Charley will tfe the cynosure of all eyes, though, when the hurdle gun pops. Many experts are at a puzzle to name the best of these two keen high steppers; Saturday’s classic is expected to settle the question once and for all.
Both teams crossed the rubber for one run in the third inning. The Trojans brought in two more runs in both the fifth and sixth frames, and for good measure scored again in the 9th. The other Quaker run came in the eighth on two hits.

PLAN TO FORM COMMERCE S.B.
Next year will probably see a change in the organization of the students in the College of Commerce, according to members of the executive committee of the now existant Commerce Club.
The committee met last week and plans were suggested for the forma tion of the College of Commerce Student Body. Students in the College feel that they are one of the eight fundamental parts of the University, and as such are entitled to follow the form of adeunistration which the other colleges find best.
The new plan would probably, if adopted at all, be modeled much after the form now pursued by Liberal Arts. George Boeck, president of the Commerce Club, feels that the change should be made this spring and that an election of officers should take place in the middle of May.
