TALLMAN TO GIVE X TALK
Musical Entertainment To Be Given After Dinner; Speeches Will Follow
Seniors Must Place Announcement Orders
No graduation announcements may be ordered after today according to O. K. Krause, treasurer of the senior class. Although there are still many members of the class who have failed to place the orders this will be their last opportunity to do so as it is now necessary for the H. Elliott Company of Philadelphia which is printing them to have an estimate of the number ordered.
Seniors will have a choice as to which kind of announcements they wish as they may be either leather or paper bound. The leather ones are in gray, while buff was the color chosen for the paper-bound ones. A gold S.
S.	monogram has been stamped near the top, and the University seal has been embossed on. They are to be of the best paper which can be obtained, and will contain the usual announcement page, the baccalaureate and commencement programs, a picture of President Rufus B. von Klein-Smid, a list of the class officers, the class roll, and everything else that is included in the busy and important commencement season.

Professor A. B. Ulrey, head of the Biology Department of the Universily of Southern California, expressed the opinion yesterday that “Ocean Life,’’ an important contribution to science iD the recently completed marine film, is that it enables the general public Lo get first hand information and see marine life as it is generally only the privilege of research scientists to see. He says that much credit is due to Paul Greely and Don Gillum who have done a great deal of work and spent a large portion of their time during the last several months to put out the picture.
Yesterday the final touches were added to the picture and Don Gillum announces that the production is now entirely completed. The final length of the film is a little over eleven hundred feet. A feature recently addea is a two color effect carried out in the sunset scene which comes at the end of the picture.
Don Gillum has been making negotiations for the distribution of the production and says that the Board of Visual Education and several neighborhood theaters have shown an interest and have asked to have the film shown before them. It will probably be shown at a downtown theater in the near future.
“Concerning sea life,’’ said Professor Ulrey,” there is little chance for the public to get first hand information, and they are rerely able to view sea animals in their natural haunts. The film makes an important contribution as the lives and habits of these animals are shown on the screen. In a thousand feet of film,’’ he continued, “the public little realizes what effort -was required to show these marine animals behaving naturally in their native elements.” Mr. Greely said that the production surpasses any picture that he knows about which is of a similar nature. He particularly commended the high quality of the photography which previals throughout the film.
El Rodeo Needs List Of Many Fraternities
Chi Epsilon, Sigma Delta Psi, Alpha Kappa Delta, Phi Lambda Pi, Phi Delta Kappa, Delta Sigma Rho, are the fraternities that have not given a list of their membership in to the El Rodeo office. They will not be run in the book if this list does not come in immediately.
There are many delinquent professionals also. They are Lambda Kappa Sigma, Delta Phi Epsilon, Sigma Omicron, Beta Alpha Psi, and Phi Phi.
The Second of Four Traditional Dances Promises To Be a Novelty
With “Snappier Snaps” for their motto, the Senior class will give the second of a series of four snaps at the Tri-Dolt house, 2407 South Flower on Wednesday, April 1st. Following tradition, only those who are members of the class may attend since the main purpose of these dances is to enable Seniors to become acquainted with £ach other before graduation.
Tickets for the affair may be purchased from the Senior executive board or at the Associated Student store. “Twenty five cents is all it costs to come and have a good time,” said Johnny Wood, president of the class. “Last time we had about eighty Seniors turn out and we are expect-* ing a larger number this time.”
Dorothy Haldeman is in charge of the Snaps and guarantees that the punch and music will be beyond reproach. Bud King is to furnish the syncopation and according to those who danced to his music at the last snap it is “absolutely inspiring.”
A short program will be given between dances but just what it is to consist of is being kept a secret by those in charge. “Worth waiting for” is all they say.
“April Fool’s Day was not chosen with any reference to its being particularly appropriate for the Seniors contrary to undergraduate opinion,” said a member of the senior executive board. “But we will say this much. Any Senior who stays awray from the Snap is certainly eligible.”
The hours will be from 7:30 to 9:30 so no one need stay away for fear of interfering with his studies.
“Just a final warning,” said Dorothy Haldeman. “dates are absolutely taboo.”
Tonight at K. H. J., the Times, Southern California will go on the air with one of the most unusual programs thus far presented over radio. The program will be presented by the Metropolitan Glee Club, an organization directed by Professor Hill, and consisting of students from Metropolitan College.
The program will be a scene of a meeting of several students who talk of Metropolitan College and the University and incidentally sing several songs typical of college groups and of the University of Southern California.
The Metropolitan Glee Club has a group of very excellent singers and have been working hard under the direction of Prof. Hill. Louis Silva will be the soloist of the evening and any who have heard him sing will look-forward to hearing him again.

Decorations To Be Extensive and Of An Entirely New Idea

Formality, consistent with the dignity of the hosts, will be the keynote ot the Junior Prom at the Biltmore Hotel, Friday evening, March 27.
Even the decorations, Miss Evalyne Ross, decoration chairman, announces will be a departure from the usual hilarious crepe streamers, balloons and drapes. “The beauty and stateliness of the decorations of the ballroom of the Biltmore are too lovely to be spoiled by any artificial decora-tions. The manager of the Biltn^pre is co-operating with us and we have decided to use potted ferns and palms which will heighten the original beau-

TROJAN ORATORS MEET NEW MEXICO
Leland Tallman and Arthur Syvertson, who did excellent work last week in defending the honors of Troy against the onslaughts of Brigham Young University and the University of New Mexico, wil again represent the University of Southern California tomorrow when they will meet the word artists from the University of Nevada.
As in the previous contests in which they participated they will uphold the affirmative of the question: “Resolved that the immigration laws of the United States be so amended as to admit Japanese into this country upon the same basis as the quota allowed Europeans.”
Ernest Brown and Jean Jackson are the members of the team which will attempt to conquer the Trojan vocabulary experts. Brown is now in his third year of inter-collegiate debating and is regarded as one of the best debaters to represent the Reno institution in recent years. Miss Jackson is a graduate o fthe Emerson School of Oratory in Boston and her ability is shown by the fact that she was able to win out over several men candidates for the team. Both members of this team competed against the Oxford squad wrhich recently suffered a defeat at the hands of the Trojans.
But When Grape Juice Costs Four Dollars a Quart—
By MAUDE MILLER
What about the Constitution?
Are you in favor of Prohibition? Or do you drink ginger ale? Who made the Supreme Court? If so. why?
There are two men in U. S. C. who knowr the answer. They are Ned Lewis and William Barber, who compose one of the University of Southern California’s debate teams. Last night they gave a demonstration, accompanied by the University of Willamette, which settled once and for all these disturbing questions. The actual statement of the question sounds more like “Resolved, That the Congress of the United States should be given the power by a two-thirds majority to override decisions of the Supreme Court.” Or something like that.
But what Mr. Lewis and Mr. Brennan did was to show why Chief
Justice William Howard Taft of the Supreme Court should be overruled and if so, how often. (Being overruled has nothing to do with steam rollers or Ford cars.)
Much scintillating and scathing entertainment was given by the two rising young advocates. While the question in itself sounds perhaps as though it would be more suitable to a gathering of the graduate members of the “We’re for Bryan” club, the discussion was, according to all reports a symposium of remarks one should not make to one’s history teacher. As no bloodshed was allowed in university debates, ardent supporters of both sides were requested to check hand grenades and shooting irons at the door. They were returned as the audience passes out.
Due to popular demand by those students who wished to attend the “Silver Box” and also the junior prom, but felt that the two occasions were too close and also that the financial strain too strong, National Collegiate Players have secured permission of the administration to present John Galsworthy’s drama on Friday morning in the regular assembly period in Bovard auditorium. The price is also lowered to 25 cents for all seats. No seats will be reserved.
“The Silver Box” was originally scheduled for Thursday evening and many tickets were sold for that performance. These tickets will be refunded at the Associated Students store for full amount or for the amount of reduction in price of Friday’s production. Seats were on sale for 75 and 50 cents. Tickets for the new low price are now on sale at the store.
The cast of “The Silver Box” has been chosen, according tr Miss Florence Hubbard who is directing the play, with every effort to observe talent and type. National Collegiate Players is made up of students who have excelled in dramatics on the campus. The drama was selected for the fraternity’s annual production on account of its dramatic appeal. It is a play that every student will want to see and Friday morning will be the ideal opportunity for every student on the campus to attend.” '
CAST WELL KNOWN
The members of the cast, who have spent many evenings perfecting their parts, have been recognized for their ability in former productions. Solly Seamons played the theater manager in last year’s play, “The Show Shop,” a comedy part which delighted the audience. Clare Kaufer has many successful leading roles in her repertoire. Her most striking protrayal was that of Melisande in “‘The Romantic Age,” by A. A. Milne which was produced by the School of Speech last year.
Selvyn Levinson, recently of the junior play cast, has played a prominent part in campus dramatics. Mont Mac-Millen is an alumnus. His return to Bovard auditorium will recall his work in “Polly with a Past,” the junior play of several years ago. Helen Humiston is identified with “The Romantic Age” in which she played a charming and a consistent role. Her character work and technique have been sonsid-ered excellent by past dramatic critics. Helenita Lieberg plays the feminine lead in “The Silver Box.” She is an alumna also. Miss Lieberg was very active in theatricials while she attended the university and has studied professionally since her graduation. Vesta Owen will be remembered as Irish Kathleen of “Smilin’ Through,” the sophomore production of this year. She has a character role which gives her great opportunity to display her versatile talents.
Harry Hall has played in many of the School of Speech plays. He is perhaps more generally known for his clever clogging which has oftea called

spring flowers in the decoration scheme; This is a little different than most of the decorations used this year and I think it will be most effective.”
The presence of Dr. and Mrs. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, Dean and Mrs. Karl Waugh, Major and Mrs. Warren Bovard, Mr. and Mrs. Harold J. Stonier, and Mr. and Mrs. Gwynn Wilson as patrons and patronesses will further dignify the prom of the class of ’27.
Flowers however will be confined to the decorations, as the men of the committee have announced that flowers in form of corsages are not favored, and to be more frank about it, they will not be good form.
LYMANN TO PLAY
Abe Lyman’s first orchestra, the orchestra that made the Wampus Ball a success, and that people pay real money to hear at Cocoanut Grove has been engaged to provide music for the occasion. Those who have heard Lyman need not read this but to those who haven’t and have missed the real joy of living, Abe Lyman’s orchestra is the elite of syncopators, the perfect mastery of symphony.
The plans for entertainment are just about complete, Solly Levinson says. They include a combination of amateur talent popular with the Trojans and an act or so by profesoinals, that should provide an interesting review during intermission.
“Practically sold out,” said Bill Hansen, Red Haynes’ right hand man where the sale of tickets is concerned. “The table in the Arcade sold many tickets yesterday and Red and I haven’t had a minute’s resL
RUG-MAKING ART IS TALK’S SUBJECT
“Paintings of the Orient'’ Will Be Talk Given By Mr. Minassion
Presenting to those who are interested in the history and artistry of rug-making in the Orient, Mr. J. H. Minassian will talk tomorrow afternoon on “Paintings of the Orient.”
Mr. Minassian, according to press reports, is an authority in his line, and in regard to his talk, he says:
“A tenent of the Mohammedan religion forbade the making of statues and pictures, and their exhibition in public places or in the home; and since the tenth century the artists of the occupied countries had not been permitted to express themselves through the mediums of scuplture and painting. With these avenues closed, the artistic desires of the conquered peoples found outlet chiefly in one way: their weaving. Their spirits, crying out for seLf-expression. ran through their finger tips at their looms and souls were woven into the warp and woof of their rugs.”
Mr. Minassian will explain the hidden significance of the desings and figures, and the influence geographical and climatic conditions exert upon the rugs of the Orient. The lecture will start at 3:30 in Parlor “C” of the President’s suite and will be short in order to allow time for questions and admiring the display.
A welcome Is extended to all by Mr Minassian.
