The date for 'the Junior-Senior affair is set for the (latter part of May, and it is to be in the nature of a sport dinner-dance.” The members of the class who will solicit include Catherine Potter, Marjorie Rice, Clare Kaufer, Jannie Lee Moore, Ronald Snavely, Ronald Stever, Ravelle Harrison, Bill Hansen and Red Haynes.

PRESS CLUB DINNER IS CAMPUS CHEST DRIVE PLANNED FOR APRIL 28
Hai Roberts and His Trojan Jazz Band
Due lo the fact that the basket-ball letters, sweaters, and other awards failed to arrive in time, the previously arranged program for today’s rally had to be cancelled, and Don Cameron, chairman of the rally committee was confronted with the problem of securing an entirely new program.
Berwyn Riske, member of the Glee club, and a soloist of note who has appeared in several chapel programs heretofore, will sing a group of songs, accomhpanied by Frank Lundy. Both Mr. Riske and Mr. Lundy are accomplished musicians, and this portion of the program is expected to create a great deal of enthusiasm.
Coach Howard Jones, newly appointed grid mentor here at Southern California will make his first public appearance before the student body, and is expected to have a few words to say, telling of plans and hopes for next year's championship football machine.
Part of the period will be used to | further the current campus chest campaign, now being conducted on the campus, and Dr. Knopff will speak in behalf of the drive.
The latter half of the rally will be turned over to Hank McCann, who will lead the six yells selected by the judges as possibilities for w’iuning the $100 cash prize in the contest just closed. The yells were taken to Allen T. Archer, sponsor of the contest, yesterday afternoon, for final O. K., and the students will select the winner from the six this morning.
Hal Roberts, former Southern California student, who is row the leader of the Golden State Band that makes its final appearance at the Philharmonic auditorium Saturday and Sunday nights of this week before making an extended concert tour of the Middlewest, has risen from the leadership of school bauds to the head of this noted musical body within the space of a few months.
Formerly leading the Trojan band up until this year, Mr. Roberts has moulded the Golden State band into an organization whose entertainment has been in demand in the South for past months. It has finally been arranged to complete a schedule that will include the leading cities west of Chicago. The future trip is a result of this planning.
France was the scene of the initial forming of the Golden State Band. Soldiers in the Ninety-lirst division planned to organize a band upon their return to Los Angeles after their work
which had been cut into by the war, could be taken up again. The Hollywood American Legion band was the ultimate result of the soldiers’ plans.
Mr. Roberts did not take up the leadership of this band until 1923, when, from that time on, the organization has progressed until it lays claimr to being one of the best and most popular bands in active musical circles. It is stated that the leadership of this band is a distinct honor, and Mr. Roberts is declared to be fortunate in being at the head of so successful and organization.
Franklin High School's band was the first musical body which Mr. Roberts directed. After attending Southern California Mr. Roberts assumed command of the band here. Under his direction the Trojans succeeded in filling many professional engagements, among them being week stands at leading Los Angeles theaters. Hal Roberts will return to Southern California to take charge of the band next fall.
Members of the University of Southern California Press Club will hold their next dinner Tuesday night, April 28, at the Vanity Fair Tea Room. Alma Whitaker, well-known feature writer ot the Los Angeles Times, has been secured as speaker and the dinner is expected to be the most successful staged this year by the club. Reservations should be made in the Trojan office and all members and friends I of the Trojan staff are invited. One | dollar will be charged for the dinner Mis Whitaker last year spoke before the Press Club and her talk proved to be one of the most interesting ever given to the Southern California journalists. The club has been attempting for a long time to obtain | Miss Whitaker again and finally she was able to fill the place as speaker for the next meeting. At Miss Whitaker’s request, the dinner on April 28 will be informal and members of the club are to ask Miss Whitaker ques-

CLASS IN DESIGN PHYSICS SCHOOL GIVES ETCHINGS ADDS EQUIPMENT
Original Etchings Presented To Womens Building by Second Year Designers
With the proceeds from the sale of the original Christmas card design by Clara Shaw, the second year design class in the Art department has just recently presented two beautiful etchings as a gift for the new women’s building.
Last year the advanced design class gave a gift of $91.50 to the Art Architectural Library and a collection of excellent art books wras purchased.
This year, the students wished to contribute toward the new building for women and decided upon two splendid original etchings which were a part of President von KleinSmid’s valuable collection of Austman prints.
One etching is of a winter street scene in dull tones of sepia and old blues made by a famous Austrian etcher. A soft neutral mat was chosen and a carved frame of old blues and soft brown complete the harmony of the whole.
The second is entitled “Dawn,” by Emil Singer ,a lovely work of art full of atmosphere. Soft old blues predominate and the only note of warmth is a soft mellow light from the street lamp which casts a glow upon the figures with their market wares in the foreground. The mat and frame tone blend in beautifully with the etchings itself. At present, the two pictures are upon the wall in President von KlelnSmid’s suite and will remain there until the campletion of the new building.
BOOK EXPORTS
The largest importers from Spain are Argentine, Cuba and Mexico. Argentine imports forty per cent of all its books from Spain and its importation from France and the United States is about equal. The United States has recently made great strides as a publisher of -Spanish books. Cuba's importation of books is sixty-seven per cent from the United States and twenty-four per cent from Spain
Expense is Not Spared in Purchase of Important Apparatus

The machines which have been secured are the best and the latest of those manufactured. According to Professor ■ Clark of the department of Physics the University has not spared expense in securing these devices and it is expected that much benefit will be derived from them.
A Mercury Vapor and Quartz Tube has been purchased and wiE be used to give Ultra Vio’ei ligh;. One graduate student is now working on this machine, experimenting and writing his thesis on his expe iments.
Another high grade machine which has been secured by the department is a Photo Electric Cell. This machine will be used by another graduate student in preparing his thesis for a masters degree. This student will endeavor to solve the problem of transmitting colored photographs by radio. Black and white photos are now being sent via radio but so far no one has succeeded in sending them in colors. INSTALL MACHINERY
The department is also building a 100 volt storage battery with Edison storage cells. This battery <will be used for electrical measurements and ionization experiments. According to Prof. Clark it is about one-fourth finished at the present time. Other machines and apparatus, including a Quadrant electrometer, have been secured by the department. In all the apparatus w'ill total around $1000. -
In additoin to this new apparatus the University is offering two new courses in Physics to start next semester. The first will be a course in Spectrosocopy. This course will give two units credit and will be given the first semester only. The course in-(CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)
First of Series of Visiting Days Held at S. C. Houses Yesterday
A better campus spirit through the cultivation of friendship among the men in the different Southern California fraternities is the aim of the Interfraternity Council in establishing the exchange dinner schedule which went into effect yesterday. Under this plan the men's Greek organizations pair off every Thursday noon and entertain as guests a number of the men from the other house. The number of guests who are to go is optional with the fraternities concerned.
This plan was decided upon at a meeting of the council held before the Easter vacation and a committee was appointed to make the arrangements. The idea of a definite schedule for the fraternities was adopted in order to insure a more regular and campus-wide series of these get-together lunches.
The schedule which is merely tentative at the present time is as follows: April 16—Alpha Sigma Delta and Alpha Psi; Delta Chi and Delta Mu Phi; Delta Phi Delta and Gamma Epsilon; Lambda Psi and Mu Signia Phi; Phi Alpha ami Phi Alpha Mu; Phi Delta and Theta Sigma Nu; Phi Kappa Tan (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)
only four hundred of these student* can fail to put up a dollar. Some of those who made pledges during last semesters drive are failing to bach this campaign, stating that they desire to pay up these pledges first. McKee urges that they give their support now to the present drive, and attend to paying these pledges latei The workers are not appealing to former contributors only, but are approaching every student on the campus in the hope that three thousand of them will contribute a dollar eacl toward the prosperity of their campus organizations.
TROJANS COME THROUGH Campaign headquarters in charge of Sam Gates have been established In front of the Administration building Leaders of the drive are confident that the Trojan student body wilt come through with the three thousand dollars which has been set as the goal of the campaign, but this optimistic hope can never materialize unless every single student on the Sou-(CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)
