SENIOR VAUDEVILLE PROFESSIONAL IS CLAIMED
POSTURE DAY OBSERVED IN CHAPEL EXERCISES
Good Posture week announces its presence with a bang by monopolizing today's chapel hour. Dr. Barnard, a prominent physician connected with the l»s Angeles Orthopedic Hospital, and the U. S. C. Physical Education Department, will give the student body some hints on Posture and Health that may make the exit from chapel look like the “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers.”
On Wednesday at 10 o’clock, the upperclassmen will be entertained by Mrs. Kate Myers from the Nurses Outfitting Company, who will give the “better half" the origin and history of the academic gown that is so closely associated with the muchly coveted sheep-skin in the minds of American college students. Her talk will be called “Cap, Gown and Hood.”
Through the courtesy of Miss Hanna and the School of Speech, live models will display the various gowns.
Belated Wampus To Appear On Campus Early Today
Today’s the day, believe it or not, when paens of praise in honor of the moron will undulate over the campus. For libelous rumors to the contrary notwithstanding. Tommy has not been suppressed; he has merely been delayed by the interference of term paprs and note books—which is as it should be.
Judging from the subject matter, this number should please everyone. It is a regular deaf and dumb school minus the deaf section. No self-respecting moron w\Jl be embarrassed by running across something too subtle for his comprehension. It iust can't be done. Consider the source. These cracks from contented morons :ay be enjoyed with the expenditure )f the ignominious sum of twp-bits; no ;ray matter is necessary, since this 'ssue is to be a democratic organ for ,he moronic mases. There won’t even >e an extra couvert charge, in spite >f the fact that John Post has created i composite of the most striking qual-ties of Venice, fashionable beach re-ort, with his imagination thrown in or good measure. Since it is well ;nown that children can easily assim-ate pictorial messages, thirty draw-igs have been distributed here and lere by the masterful paws of such Bratchers a Post. Suski, Baldwin, uok, Anderson. Harris, Talmadge. id other contributors of mreit.
The editorial staff has come forth with a wonderful array of melodiously moronic mewings. Far be it from anyone to insinuate that it knows not whereof it speaks. Some of the most mellifluous attractions are, for example. two pages devoted to those awful Bachelors, from the facile pen of Marquis Busby; “Moronic Rhymes of Mommer Geese.” by the Wamp staff; “The Advertising Mans Album.” by Marion Buck and Maud Miller; “Where is My Wandering Mind Tonight-7" by Dorothy Crowiey; “Provincia Mor-onia,” by Ralph Holly: ‘‘The Egg That Wouldn’t Hatch,” by Mamie Leung; “Burning Waters,” by Helen Scheurr; and “Morons of the Ages,” by Dorothy Davis.* What more could any young hopeful expect?
None other than Grady Setzler, the editor himself, announces that Wamp’s big dinner will be consumed this Friday evening at the Vanity Fair tearoom by all the cets and kittens on the staff. Since this nourishment will be donated gratis by Tommy Wamp, a large turnout is expected. Award keys wili be presented at that time to all who have earned them by merit, good looks not includ«Kl. Besides this, many of the old cats will be there to lap up the cream, and also to give mercifully short talks on the sad business of making fun.
Meeting of non-Frateinity Men
Results in Strong Organization for Dental College
In an enthusiastic, peppy meeting at the Y hut Monday evening, May 11, fifty non-fraternity men from the Dental College gathered and formulated plans for an organization of non-fraternity men. The affair was the culmination of the efforts of the nonorganization students to be represented socially and politically in the activities of the college.
This meeting was conducted by Walter Heineman. sophomore at Dental. A temporary board of directors, one representative of each class, was elected. The evening was given over to (alks and discussions as to the means of perfecting an organization wherein the non-fraternity men might be brought into close contacl.
The aims, ideals and purposes of the new organization are as follows:
1.	To promote fellowship and cooperation among all affiliated students.
2.	To secure organized opinion of the unaffiliated two-thirds of the student body.
3.	To obtain the benefits derived by other organized bodies, namely social activities, political justice and professional lectures and clinics.
4.	To promote lasting friendships and greater interest in the dental profession.
It was emphasized at the meeting that the purpose of such an organization was to promote friendships and create interest among the unaffiliated majority of the Dental Student Body in all the activities of the Dental College.
In regard to the political policy of the organization, the following resolutions were adopted:
1.	To support the best man, regardless of affiliations.
2.	To promote and maintain clean politics.
3.	To put the Dental Student Body affairs into the hands of the majority for democratic execution, giving the majority just representation and elimination of “canned politics.”
Dean Ford expressed his approval of the organization and volunteered his co-operation in assisting the unaffiliated student to obtain social, educational and professional advantages heretofore unknown to fraternity man.

Tickets Still on Sale Are Disappearing Rapidly

SENIOR EVENTS START WITH SPECIAL CHAPEL
Plans for the senior events preceding graduation are now being completed. As yet, however, definite dates are not set for any events except Senior Chapel on Wednesday, June 3. Senior Chapel, by Campus Traditions, starts off the series of Senior events which culminate in Ivy Day and Graduation.
At Senior Chapel the Seniors will march in procession in cap and gown and will take part in the following program.
A prelude by one of Los Angeles’ leading professional organists will be followed by a solo by Howard Coy, the reading of the Class History by Gertrude Street and the class address by Ned Lewis. The above announcement is only tentative and incomplete announces the Senior Day Committee, which is composed of Marquis Busby, chairman; Gertrude Street, Helen Humiston and Carlton Morehouse.
Back stage of Bovard Auditorium is beginning to take on the appearance of the Orpheum behind the scenes, and from all indications the size and enthusiasm of the Road Show audience will approach that of the first nighters for a professional all star bill.
There are still seats available for this all-University production, but according to the rate the pasteboards are disappearing, it will not be advisable to wait until eight o'clock Thursday evening to purchase tickets. Ellsworth Ross, production manager, and John Woods, Senior Class president, declared that they are pleased with the manner in which the student body is backing this performance.
The peerless jazz team of Woodford and Rathert has perfected an act full of clever gags, new laughs and red hot music, according to Seamons, the director. These clever performers are guaranteed to make even the statues on Bovard Auditorium crave action. Their music has gained quite a reputation for them off the campus, as they have played at several local productions. Wes Woodford has been declared to be undoubtedly the best jazi sax player in school, while Norm Rathert “has a way all his own with, a banjo.”
QUARTETTE SCORES
The Girls’ Quartette is promising to be one of the best musical acts on the bill. Members of the quartette are: Soprano, Josephine Campbell; second soprano, Drucy Belle Gorden; first, alto, Juanita Benoit; second alto, Ruth Bishop, and accompanist, Mildred Morrison. These young ladies have been devoting a great deal of time to their act and the Road Show Committee is enthused over tbe quality of their program. The members of the quartette are students in the College of Music and have given several programs for local entertainments which were always enthusiastically received.
Hal Williamson and Phil Wernette despite all pleadings and entreaties, have steadily refused to divulge the nature of their act, except for giving the information that their stunt will be a decided surprise to both students and outsiders in the audience. The committee members declared this mysterious act to be one of the “hottest” on«the bill and declare it will have an appeal to everyone from the “kid brother” to the most dignified professor.
Williamson and Wernette are grad-

Politicians Take Advantage Of Trojan Political Issue
BACHELORS TO LUNCH AT DEN NOON TODAY
Bachelors of ’25, and the newly initiated members for the coming year will meet for luncheon at the Cozy Den Cafe. Jefferson and University avenue, at twelve o’clock today.
What will interest the initiates most, according to the president of the Bachelors, is the distribution of the pins.
Other plans confronting the club are the stag party to the Senior Road Show, the election of officers and the beach picnic, the last social affair of the vear.
PRESS CLUB MEETS
IN TROJAN OFFICE
All members of the Press Club are urged to be present at the meeting to be held at noon today in the Trojan office.
Chet Mackie, president of the organization, says that in addition to deciding upon the details of the final social event of the Press Club’s season. there will be some important financial matters to attend to, and that these will require the presence of all members.
A number have expressed their desire for a beach party, while others are urging a dance—and it is to settle this as well as to make arrangements for the financing of a Press Club page in El Rodeo, that this meeting is called.
Allowing the Southern California politicians their only chance to advertise in the columns of the Daily Trojan, today’s edition is carrying eight pages to allow room for the mass of advertising that has been handed in to Bill Teetzel, Advertising Manager of the Trojan.
As all forms of literature are barred in local elections, candidates look forward to the annual political edition. The ads which appear in today's Troian have been paid for by the respective candidates. It is said that this plan is superior to the past routine of handing out cards and tacking up pla-j cards.
Although plans are not perfected for the carrying out of the election on Thursday of this week, the Election Committee is getting things in shape to handle the voters. It is understood that the booths will be placed in the Arcade of the Main Building as has been the case in past elections.
Electioneering will not be allowed closer than fifteen feet to the polls, according to a statement from the Election Committee. This is to be put into effect in order to avoid the confusion that would result if politicians were allowed to gather about the booths. It is understood, however, that the “Deadline” will be taken advantage of and a crowd of electioneers is predicted to surround the respective booths.
The professional schools w ill have I
their balloting carried on at the schools off the IJberal Arts campus. Arrangements are being made to take care of the voting at these schools and it is expected that a heavy vote will be cast at these outside polls.
Now that l>aw School has had its own elections, political talk and activities are being concentrated on the Liberal Arts elections, according to word received from there today. Candidates on the campus here are said to be carrying on intensive campaigns at Law School. It is said that the Iaw and Dental votes usually “sew up” an election and candidates are not forgetting the fact.
In some past elections only a light vote has been cast at Liberal Arts, but this year’s political campaign has seemed to arouse more than ordinary interest and a heavy ballot is expected. Managers and candidates are responsible for this because of their work on the campus in gathering promised votes.
Speeches in chapel last Friday, because of their unusual merit, have also done a great deal to get the students of Southern California in a voting attitude. Only two days remain before elections and local politicians are said to be taking advantage of the short time in giving final talks.
Thursday’s election cannot result in any ties by virtue of the Australian system employed. In this way one election acts as a primary and final as well.
