THIRD ANNUAL EXTRAVAGANZA GIVEN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
Three of Musical Numbers Published in Cardinal and Gold Covers; Will Be Sold at Both Performances
After two months rehearsing, the “Campus Scandals,” Southern (California's third annual Extravaganza “goes on” at Bovard Auditorium tomorrow and Saturday nights. All indications point toward a sell out for each performance.
McCann, La Mont, and Johnston, the Ziegfeld, Ned Wayburn. and Irving Berlin, respectively, of the production have had the cast, chorus, and orchestra working overtime to put the finishing touches 011 what promises to be the fastest, funniest, musical comedy Los Angeles has seen in years, according •- to Ellsworth Ross, production man-
ROUGH NECK SHIRTS APPEAR POPULAR AMONG SOPHS
University Women Show Their Approval of New Soph Class Garb
Showing their appreciation for all that is beautiful, refined and artistic, the men of the sophomore class are rapidly stepping forth in their traditional class garb, the “rough neck” shirts.
Black and modest blue seem to be the predominating color scheme in the quiet plaids of the shirts. There is an occasional green and red. but the vivid, dazzling hues so noticeable last year are now missing from the campus. Perhaps this class of Sophs is more bashful, or else the man, having quieter natures than their predecessors, prefer the dull simpler things.
Now that the shirts have appeared, any lumber jack or miner would feel at home on the Trojan campus, especially since other class garb is equally “hard." Every time the average coed meets a man off the campus wearing a plaid woolen shirt, or cords and a. red sweater, she thinks he naturally is a Trojan. That no mistake will be made, it is W’ise to remember that the U. S. C. man will not have had the most recent shave, that his socks and balloon trousers will flap as no other's can, and that he will be the better looking.
SHIRTS ARE POPULAR
“I certainly do like the sophomore’s shirts” declared one enthusiastic member of the class, who scorns publicity. She added, “They're so distinctive and so informal. I believe they really aid class feeling and for that reason all the boys should wear them. They’d make anyone look like a regular he-man."
In case the U. S. C. supply runs low, the suggestion is willingly offered, that shirts of 4lie same style may be secured anywhere in the Plaza District, for the Mexican laborers apparently have common tastes with onr sophomores and juniors. The only thing now needed to add to the picturesqueness of the campus is bandanas, ten gallon hats, spurs and perhaps gun belts.
After all, though, who doesn’t prefer informality to rule the mode of dressing for the sterner sex on the campus? •
Three of the musical numbers have been published in attractive cardinal and gold covers, and will be sold at both performances. The numbers published are: “I’d Love To,” the theme waltz of the show; "Flirting,” and ‘‘You’ll Be Sorry,” all composed by Gene Johnston, the musical director. The lyrics are by Ruth Burns, •Virginia Van Loan, and Mr. Johnston. Verne Elliott, foremost arranger oT popular hits on the Pacific Coast, arranged the entire musical score, and is enthusiastic in his praise of the numbers.

All those taking-part in the contest are hereby notified that they must be in the debating office in the Students' building not later than 8 o’clock Friday morning, in order that sub-topics niav be given out ,and drawings for speaking positions can be held.

Two or three hundred drawings are sent in each month by schools all over the country, and are judged competitively. Very few first mentions are given and, according to Mr. C. W. Baldwin. U. S.

It was announced that payments are due and may be made at the business office of the student body in the second floor of the Journalism building.

An Alpha Chi Wrests Pin From Member of Bachelors
S. C. is able and willing to serve and inspire the community.
Professor Blanks gave an eloquent and scholarly discussion of Papini and his works. His fascinating manner of presentation made everyone present eager to read more of the works of this amazing Italian writer. The speaker sketched the life of Papini and then gave readings from "The Failure,” wrritten twelve years ago.
DELIVERY IS GOOD
Miss Mildred Struble. of the English department, said, on being interviewed "W'ith his w'omterful delivery the speaker carried us with him to contemplate the very soul of the once bitter agnostic.”
“But ‘The Failure’.” said Professor Blanks, “is only a prelude to the “Life of Christ” 'which, to be comprehended. should be received in contrast to the terrifying depression voiced in the earlier volume. The two books represent the diagnosis of a soul first reduced to utter despair, and later transformed through confidence in salvation.” The speaker quoted more briefly from the second volume for he stated that while it is possible to brief the contents of the former, the “Life of Christ” can only be read for oneself.
Miss Struble went on to say in the 1 interview. “I was impressed by the I beauty of diction and by the melodious style of writing in Mr. Blank s ex-I pression of his own convictions re-' yarding Papini.
