It is said that the band had played before more audiences this year than it ever has before. Many new features of the band are somewhat responsible for its new popularity, it is said. These include xylophone solos, the addition of chimes, and several vocal solos. The band also plays a number entitled “Campus Memories” which embraces all familiar college songs worked into a medley.
Roswell Allison is responsible for the management and arrangements for the Southern California tour. He states that the band has a greater future ahead of it and predicts that it will take advantage of this.

EROSH ENTERTAIN AT SPRING SPORT DANCE
Verdant South Sea Island Decorations to Feature Party In Gym *
Tomorrow night will be everybody’s night at the Basketball pavilion, when the freshman entertain themselves and the upper classmen with the best sport dance of the year. In the mingling crowds of Frosh, Sophs, Juniors, and Seniors, an atmosphere of gaiety and overbubbling pleasure will be greatly in evidence.
The pavilion will look like a beautiful shady spot somewhere in the South Sea Islands, with green decorations and large palms gracing the borders and corners of the dance floor. Spring in the height of its verdant beauty will be typified thru the hard work of the decoration committee which is ! in charge of Dorothy Moore, and Gordon Crain.
The orchestra will be the best on the campus; the floor is to be all “slicked” up for the affair; the punch will be par excellence; thus making all details in readiness for the best | class dance of th eyear. The social committee which is responsible for | these details includes “Hank” Rohr, Dot Moore, Carl Platte, Burdette Ben-ney, George Lewis, Ray Hatfield, Martha Wigget, and Paul Elmquist.
Many of the boys will be tickled ! pink to know this is to be a date affair. This will give them a chance to “swing a date” with the sorority girl that “I got a knock down to last week.’’ And now is the time to do it
Freshman Traditions. These Sophomores will compose an entirely distinct group, and will wear a distinctive sweater, probabl ya light weight jersey with a distinguishing insignia.
Various suggestions have been made to provide for effective enforcement of campus traditions, and among these different plans the use of demerits oi the loss of grade points seems the most plausible means of punishing any offending Frosh. Force will not be used.
FOSTERS SPIRIT
The fostering university spirit has been neglected this year due to the inability of the enforcement organization to effectively deal with the new Trojans. This condition is to be done away with through the new plan wrhich has been decided on by the Knights. The proposed arrangement has been made possible by the co-operation of the executive officers and faculty of the university who have assured those in charge of the new plan that they will stand back of the scheme for enforcement.

ence teaches never to put off till tomorrow’ what can be settled today.
To enter requires the presence of one ticket, zero, one, or more girls, and a smile. Tickets are selling at the book store for one dollar, or may be purchased from members of the social committee for a higher price if they can get it. The sinile includes the war tax, upon entering the pavilion. Dress is to be the least of worries for anyone, because anything respectable will be acceptable, including full dress suits. However, the social committee declares that the more comfortable the clothes are, the better the chance to enpoy oneself. Sport clothes is prophesied to be the vogue at the dance.

All members of all committees on the May Festival please meet today, May 7, at noon, in the President’s Parlor. It is very important that all members be there, so please be on time.
ODONTO CLUB IS GUEST OF DR. FORD AT DINNER
Dean Lewis E. Ford gave a banquet at the University Club last Tuesday night, for all the students who participated in the recent Odonto Club minstrel show. This is an annual event and is always much looked-for-ward-to by those who take part in the production.
As is always the custom at this time, officers for the coming year were elected. Jack laughlin, who played many accompaniments in the different olio acts, was elected president. Douglas Buck, the trumpet player in the orchestra, will be the vice-president. Glenn Coffin, who worked on the business staff this year, w as made business manager, secretary and treasurer.
A very fine spread was arrangf-d for, and this was followed by speeches
That the Engineers can wield the meanest scissors on the campus was proved by the fact that Harry Ixiemke the Engineer's favorite candidate for the chariot race, was still in the lead despite the fact that several factions vow’ed yesterday that their favorite candidate would replace Loemke in Tuesday’s tally. In the greatest increase of votes in one day Arnold Eddy holds the day’s record.
Tuesday’s count of votes revealed that Harry l-oemke was still leading with 704 votes. Arnold Eddy came to second place with 497: Revelle Harrison still was a leader with 472 votes, and George Orme still was placing among the first five with a vote of 398, while Marq Busby was the fifth winner of the day, having 397 votes. Burdette Ives gave Marq Busby and George Orme a close run for their money by getting 396 votes. Paul Hathaway with 257, Ned Lewis with 254, Leighton Dye with 227 and Gyn Wilson with 221 added their votes to the reporter's task of counting.
The newest of the news about the popularity contest to determine who will wear the toga and sandals in the May Day circus is the report that the College of Law has been saving ballots and will shortly enter a candidate, a dark horse that will even eclipse Harry Loenike in his great popularity. As yet Dental has not announced rheir intention of entering a special candidate from their college, so another dark horse may be expected.
In order to be a candidate for the charioteer popularity contest, it is necessary to be at least a Sophomore and to have title to a claim of popularity through some service rendered the university. The candidates are to appear in the race in the most authentic and artistic costumes of old Roman days that can be unearthed in Ix>s Angeles. It is reported that the votes w’ill be counted for the final time on Tuesday the 12th, and the winners will be announced in Wednesday’s Trojan. On Thursday, so the rumour is, Ramon Navarro, w:ho has recently returned from filming Ben Hur in Rome, w’ill teach the racers the tricks of the trade and the most practical method to keep one's balence when Dobbin
