Seniors Do Not
Object to Jinx
Not only are the Seniors not afraid to give a dance on the evening o! May 13, but neither are they afraid of rain. According to a member of the Senior class executive committee, one of the largest crowds yet to attend a ‘'snap" was on hand at the Theta Sigma Nu house last evening. This was one of the last affairs of the kind to be given by the graduating class, the one remaining affair being the Junior-Senior “snap” to be given by both clashes next month.
Service was the slogan of the class for the dance last evening, when automobiles called at the sorority houses and brought the Senior women to the Theta Sig house. Bud King, the official orchestra leader of the class of ’25, provided the music. One pleasing innovation, according to a member of the class, was that there was plenty of punch.
Dean and Mrs. Morton, and Prof. and Mrs. Marston were the . chaperones.

CAMPUS FUND PUN TO GO ON BALLOT
Executive Committee Approves Vote on Proposed Addition to uition
The most important business completed at the Executive Committee meeting Tuesday night was the determining of the manner of conducting the coming elections. There are to be two ballots in the election. The first will be the general University ballot, upon which will be placed the proposition of incorporating into the tuition fee $5, which is to go to the
A.	B. S. Treasury and shall take care of the El Rodeo, the Trojan. Athletics and the Campus Chest. This would eliminate Campus Chest Fund drives and other “grief” connected with the “dynamiting” of students' pockets.
On this ballot will be incorporated the names of candidates for student body offices. The constitution provides that there shall be two representatives of the alumni on the Executive Committee. There are to be elected by the entire University student body and will be placed on all the general University ballots.
The other ballot will be different at eatfl school. Upon it will be placed the names of the candidates for the various school and class offices as well as the names of the candidates for the A. S. B. offices designated to the school. Voting on these ballots will take place at the various schools, and no one may vote without showing their identification card, which will be punched at the time to prevent “stuffing the ballot boxes.”
The general University ballot in the jaw and Dental Colleges will not in-ilude the above mentioned proposi-ion, for the tuition of those schools lready takes care of student body ctivities. In all schools a two-thirds ajority of the votes cast are neces-ary to pass the proposition. This jroposition, upon being passed, is to recommended to the Board of Trusses of the University, which will have lie final and deciding decision.
As further business the Executive iommittee decided to recognize Square and Compass,’' a national Masonic fraternity. It was proposed. >ut not acted upon, that the A. S. B. hould not in the future recognize any f the smaller national fraternities. The Dental Student Body presented Torman Rathert’s song “Southern Cal-ornia” to the University. The song as accepted and is to be incorporated to the University Song Book.
With nominations scheduled for tomorrow at ten o’clock in Bovard Auditorium candidates for student body offices are preparing themselves and their nominators for the talks to be given before the Liberal Arts student body in tht- only mass meeting which annually precedes elections.
All candidates met in New Lewis' office yesterday at noon and received their final instructions in regards io tomorrow's affair. As the faculty committee had not handed in an eligibility list of the candidates it is not known now whether there will be any candidates forced to drop out of the race. This is doubtful, however, aud all aspirants are preparing to carry on their respective campaigns.
Elections are due to be held next Thursday, May 21. and tomorrow’s speeches will probably form one of the deciding factors in gathering votes. This has been the case in past years, at any rate, and tomorrow's meeting will probably not fail to live up to past results, according to present office holders. The selection of nominators has been carried on carefully by all the candidates, their belief being that the nominator carries a great deal of wTeight in the vote-swinging process in campus political circles.
LIMITS TOLD
Ned Lewis gave out the time limits which every nominator and candidate will have to follow in their speeches tomorrow. The nominator for the student body Presidential position will be given two minutes. The candidates for this position will have four minutes to accept the nomination.
Canidates for the editorship of the Daily Trojan will have three minutes to accept the two minute nominating talks. Vice-president and secretary nominators will have three minntes for their nominating talks and two minutes to accept them in.
The candidates for positions on the Executive Committee will not be allowed any time for either a nominating or acceptance speech. They will be introduced and will rise for recognition.
All the speeches will be given in alphabetical order, according to the Election Committee.

the Posture Day exercises will take place, when selection is made of the prize posture posters. As several hundred of them have been submitted, the task confronting the judges is not an easy one. Close inspection and much deliberation will be required of them before their decisions are announctd. Karl Waugh, Dean of Liberal Arts. Miss Melgrade, instructor in the Art Department, and Miss Ruth Atkinson, instructor in the Physical Education Department at the Southern Branch of the University of California have consented to act as judges for the contest.
Three prizes are to be given, the presentation to take place at the Posture Day Chapel exercises on next Tuesday. The Students' Co-operative Store is offering a $10 merchandise order as one of the prizes, and the B.
H.	Dyas Co. ie putting up a trophy, the nature of which is not yet known. The third prize will be donated by a campus organization, the name ot tbe organization not yet having been announced. Keith Lloyd and Hobbs Adams are in charge of this end of the Posture Day program. They have been busily engaged in working out details in the awarding of the poster prizes.
Following the selection of the prize posters, the judges will be entertained at luncheon in the club room of the women’s gym. They will be the truest^ of the present and incoming officers
Steffen, Adah Louise Wilcox, Glenora Oliver, Kate Temple, Ruth Branch and Hope Goddard.
All of the posters submitted are to be on dispaly all day today in the women’s gym. Those chosen oy the judges as prize winners will be removed and exhibited in the president s parlors during the Posture Day celebration of next Tuesday.
Plans for the program which is to be conducted during Tuesday's Chapel; hour have rapidly been developing under the direction of Morris Badgro, whom the cmmittee in charge unanimously elected as chairman. Potter awards will be made by him. Dr. Barnard, of the Orthopaedic Hospital, will give a talk on posture, as also will Miss ltuih Atkinson, of the Southern Branch. Acts by both the Men's and Women's Physical Training Departments will fill out the bill.
The Po'sture Day movement was started as a project hy the class in Method in Health Supervision, made up entirely of Physical Education majors. Various phases of health development were discussed by the class. It was finally decided that emp&asis on posture would meet with more interest on Ihe part of the student body, so it was decided to hold a Posture Day. The class was divided into committees, each one to handle a particular part of the work. Dr. Goetz has acted in the capacity of supervisory director.	1
more
unique chariot race than was ever staged in either Troy or Rome, and with the added announcement that the preparations for the final dress rehearsal of the Greek tableaux are set for tonight, plans for the May Day Festival to be held Friday arc now complete.
The fact that the three candidates for the office of student body president of U. S. C. for next year are to atempt to uphold their respective reputations in a chariot is expected to give added interest to the long-heralded Greek classic. Harry Loemke, Revelle Harrison, Bart Ruggles and Arnold Eddy were runners-up in the struggle, the count being so close that a few votes would have changed the whole issue.
The many events scheduled for the day promise a program which will continue for many uninterrupted hours. Athletic contests and races are to take place in the Coliseum in the afternoon. At 6:30 a Trojan Feast it is be served in the President’s suite, followed by the colorful Greek tableaux and dances in Bovard Auditorium at 7:30. At G:30 a Trojan Feast is to be served band and congregate again at the pavilion where entertainment in every known form will be provided at a grand carnival and circus, including side shows.

Every student in the University ha.~ an opportunity to secure the “best seats” for the Senior Road Show, if he takes advantage of the early seat sale which opens tttls morning, ao cording to the production manager, a? preference is not to be given to organ izations as in ihe past. The date for the show is May 1.
The manager wishes to announce to the fraternities and sororities that if they wish blocks, they should reserve them immediately at the Student Book Store. Many seats have been reserved in advance for the production and the students who made these reservations are asked to call for their I pasteboards ’his morning.
That Solly Seamans and the Road j Show Committee have selected act* which w’ill have the greatest appeal to the student body is the opinion of Ellsworth Ross. He declared that the program as lined up will present one of the peppiest and most varied bills ever seen in a U. S. C. Road Show production. There are four professinal acts billed. The student actors of these have had bookings with prominent vaudeville circuits.

Proving that even so utilitarian an object as a saw may become a musical instrument of unusual tone beauty, and proving as well their mastery of the guitar, the Hernandez Brothers took the student body by storm at the Chapel assembly Wednesday.
Preceding the performance of the musicians. Professor C. Niese. a member of the Spanish department faculty. spoke briefly of “Our Neighbors to the South.” Having been for many years closely connected with both the educational and the commercial life of the Latin-American countries. Professor Niese speaks with authority on the high standards of culture and the rapid commercial progress of the countries of Central and South America.

The date now’ being considered is May 23.
After a da> or so of relative quiet and unrest in political activity at the College of Law, campaigners will rally their forces in a last attempt to pull the vote in favor of their respective candidates. Elections will be held today for ihe officers of the Law student body, the polls being open from nine to one and from six to seven-thirty. An unusual interest has been shown wi**i many political courtesies and con-fi< ntial chats quite in evidence; accordingly the vote is expected to include nearly one hundred per cent of the student body.
While several offices are to be filled the interest is centered around the presidential candidates, Vernon W. Hunt, Chester Dolley and Leo Friis. Reports from the several campaigners indicate a close and exciting election, as all the men are recognized as well qualified for the position. It is be lieved that the outcome of the election will largely depend upon the decision of the night school students, who have

Students Take Voyage In University Launch
Since the general overhauling and rejuvenation undergone recently by the launch “Anton Dohrn” of the biology department of the University of Southern California, several exceptionally successful trips have been made and marine specimens have been collected from all parts of Southern California waters.
Skipper Paul Greely. who has charge of the “Anton Dohrn” on its various trips, says that recently an exhibition trip was made on which several members of the Los Angeles Nature Club and of the Agassiz Club of Long Beach were taken. A great deal of interest was manifested by the visitors and appreciation was expressed for the opportunity offered them to view at first hand the life of the sea and the various methods employed by the Southern CaPfomia scientists for the capture of different types of marine animals. The various uses of the different trawls, dredges, nets, etc., were explained to the guests by Mr. Greely and his assistants.
Several more trips are being planned for the "Dohrn” before the summer vacation.
With plans for the handling of the Woman’s edition completed, the feminine members of the Trojan staff art expressing in no uncertain terms their entire approval of the special features which appear in tomorrow’s paper.
Just what these special features will consist of is being kept a dark secret by the staff on the theory that “if the keep their activities on the quiet we can too." Not that there will be any special resemblance between the woman's edftion and the Yellow Pup for the former will cater entirely to straight news As the edition will appear on the campus tomorrow morning Marqurs Busby, regular Trojan editor, issued the following statement:
“I absolutely refuse to be held responsible in any manner for anything which appears in tomorrow’s paper.” To which the woman’s editor, Marguerite Matson replied: “Quite right. Don’t try to steal any of our glory by claiming a share in putting out the best Trojan of the year.”
However, rumor has it that if any complaints are made they will be referred to 'Marquis because the girt<* just “can't be bothered” by things like that.
Any uneasiness on the part of male member of the staff has been relieved by the assurance that their jobs will be waiting for them on Monday’s paper as usual.
Tomorrw s staf wil consist of the following: Editor, Marguerite Matson: manging editor. Dorothy Crowley; editorials. Mamie Louise Leung; sports. Helen Sclieurr editor, Marjory Hill! assistant; exchanges and world news Harriet Pearson; desk work, Sarah Johnston; features, Dorothy Harri-man. Kay Potter, Beth Baker, Maud Miller. Consuelo Tachet; reporters. Dorothy Davis, Poly Black. Dorothy Baker. Eunice Riley, Clare Winger. Martha Wiggett.
As the peerless Hank O’Hare is none other than a woman, he or she w’ill function as usual. It is expected that the announcement that Hank really Rita Padway will dash the hopes of some of the fairer sex. but such is life.
It is known that a number of men have volunteered to contribute, but so far their offers have all been refused. “Nothing but news by women for women’’ is the motto of the day.
