EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE voted favorably upon two important amendments to the A. S. B. constitution last Friday noon, and defeated another proposed amendment.
Kl Rodeo was officially made an all-Univecsitv publication, making the managership of ihe annual an appointive office to be executed much in the same order as the selection of “Trojan” manager, and the editor to be elected from the sophomores, who will be juniors next year, by the whole student body instead of the class alone.. The editor may be any individual in any of the colleges who will be of junior rank during the year he holds office.

Quieting rumors about the appointment of Trojan editor, tbe Executive Committee of the Associated Student Body rejected the proposed amendment to Section 8, Article 3, of the constitution at a meeting held last Friday, thereby keeping this selection directly in the hand of the students. The editor of the Trojan will be elected by the direct vote of the students at a meeting on May 10.

Two candidates have dropped out of the race for president. Harry Silke ami LeRoy Wolfe both state that they are nyt going to enter the political arena. George Kerslake and William Barber, however, have decided to weather the storin, and their respective organizations are busily engaged pushing their wares to the fore for the inspection of the entire student body.

George Kerslake was in charge of the recent Service Campaign drive; was president of the junior class for the first semester; and has been prominent in executive capacities on the campus.

"GLOOMY GUS” HENDERSON recommended that the office of athletic manager be made appointive by him. In naming over the reasons why he should like to have that office appointive to him, he gave exactly the same reasons why "Trojan" editor should be appointive.
If the action of the Executive Committee in defeating the proposed “Tro jan” amendment could be taken as indicative. the wishes of ihe noted Tro jan mentor would be disregarded. But Henderson's wish will be complied with.

The pledges are Margaret Edgin,
Elizabeth Kemp, Elinor Rogers, Evelyn Smith, Ruth Seaver and Marion Joslin.
Rehearsals are being made daily for the final production of “Polly With A Past,” to be given in Bovnrd Auditorium, May 24th and 2.1th, by the junior rlass of the university. Direction is by Miss Florence Hubbard, instructress in the College of Oratory.
Those prominent members of the cast are: Miss Ruth Seaver, who will perform in the role of “Polly,” and Warner Grassell, who carries the masculine lead under the appellation. “Rex.” The entire cast consists of twelve people.
The play was originally produced in New York by the David Belasco Company, the leading woman at that time being Ina Claire. Recently, the principal members of the student cast were received by Miss Claire at the Mason Opera House. She offered many suggestions as to make-up and other details which will be followed in the presentation of the play. Pictures were also taken of Miss Seaver and Mr. Grassel in the company of Miss Claire, these to be used for publicity purposes.
HARRY'S BOSS Business management of the production is headed by Harrj Keitnedy, with Miss Evelyn Smith as his assistant. Wilbur Odermeulen has charge of properties, Leslie WTipperman of lighting and Ray MacDonald is stage manager. The ushers, under Kenneth (CONTINUED ON I.AST PACE)

SERVICE DRIVE TOTAL IS $1483
Although every worker has not yet reported, the books of the A.S.B. Service Campaign have been unofficially closed and the reports tabulated. Up to date, according to George Kerslake, chairman of the campaign, the drive has netted a total of $1483 which, though not sufficient to meet all needs of the China project, is very satisfying to the committee in charge.
“We are perfectly satisfied with the way that the university—both faculty and students—backed us up on this drive,” stated Kerslake, yesterday. “After the support that was given the Endo vment Campaign we appreciate the spirit that was shown.”
SUBSCRIBE AT OFFICE
"However, I am sure that a number of the faculty and Student Body have not yet subscribed and who really wish to do so. If there are any, they may subscribe any time before May 15 at the Graduate Manager’s office.”
The pledges and subscriptions were smaller ia number this year than in previous drives, but greater in individual amounts—many $5 and $10 donations being received.
Andrew “Monty” Morrow headed the list of workers with 01 subscriptions solicited; Miss Larkin following him with 49, and Helen Tobie third with 47.
Kerslake also stated that all pledges must be paid without fail b^ore May 15 as home matters have to be settled and the money sent on its way to the proper authorities.
