Regular members of the Y. M. C. A. and regular attendants at the U. Y. Council meetings are eligible to vote. The nominating committee urges that all who are eligible vote next Wednesday. The committee has accepted and approved the following candidates, for president, Stanley McKee and Leland Tallman; for vice-president, Dick Sorick and William Montague; for secretary, Arthur Syvertson; and for treasurer, John McGee. There will be sixteen committees according to the committee which will all be appointive. The vice-president of the Y. M. C. A. is understood to be the president of the U. Y.

MUSIC PROGRAMS ARE BOOKED FOR CHAPELS Lower Division students will be given the opportunity today to hear Mr. Charles Estey speak on ‘‘Music and the Man.” In the past Mr. Estey has been a strong supporter of our school along th§ lines of its religious and scholastic program and his address will be all the more interesting because of this connection. Students who are unfamiliar with the intricacies of music need have no fear that the lecture will bts technical as it is especially adapted to those 'who are not accomplished musicians. Emphasis will be laid on the loss that accrues to anyone who does not appreciate good music and the fact that music does exert a good influence on those who catch its inspirational value. Inasmuch as the Upper Divison students might be a trifle envious if Tues-da y’s chapel presented a musical program while Wednesday’s assembly did not, the Chapel Committee have secured Mr. Geoffrey O’Hara as the speaker for the day. Mr. O’Hara will give some of his own selections and illustrate his p*oints from his own store of personal experiences. A colorful background for Mr. O’Hara is provided by the fact that he has spent a great deal of time with the Navajo Indians and has worked up their old legends and songs into the form of modern compsitions. Besides his research into Indians lore, Mr. O’Hara is a well known composer as some of his songs have been featured in Grand Opera by some of America’s favorite stars. “There is no Death,” was one of his offerings that was made famous by Madame Schu-man-Heinck and Caruso won much applause with Mr. O’Hara’s “Give a Man a Horse You Can Ride.” Mr. O’Hara was the foster parent of ‘K-K-K- Katy” which reached the height of its popularity during the war. ster Chicks Will Seek Cover From Campus Puss By MAUD Claus may be a myth, and publican party may have indi-The Lord may frown upon ilege .student, and chapel may ue to improve his soul.

But his life in passing leaves a memory behind, like the passage of a college boy in a Packard through Watts. In the years to come, somebody will be proud to look through the old files, yellowed with age, and to trace, with pleasant surprises, the origin of the best jokes of the century. Leave a complete set of Wampi to your grandchildren. Subscriptions taken at the door as you pass out. Please sign while still breathing. Meanwhile, brothers (and sisters), there is a vacation. And after the vacation life will go right on. But nothing will be the same. Oh, yes, you’ve guessed it—except Tommy. Buy the Wampus and see life. (There are more pictures than ever.) As an act of charity. Tommy will make his next appearance immediately after Easter. He wil appear not only as an act of charity, but as a hot sketch. This con-cludeB the performance. APRIL FOOL STHT WILL EMEU SNAP Tri-Delt House To Be Scene Of Gay Affair To Be Held On Wednesday That the spirit of April Fool will give rise to much hilarity at the next regular Senior Snap is the word given out by Johnny Woods, president of the Senior Class. The festivities are to be held at the Delta Delta Delta house at 2407 South Flower street on next Wednesday evening, April 1. Dancing will begin promptly at 7:30 P. M. and will continue to 9:30. Bud King and his orchestra, well known on this campus for the tantalizing music they have furnished at innumerable previous school functions, are to supply the melody for the occasion. As usual, this Snap is for Seniors only, and is to be strictly informal. Absolutely no dates will be allowed since the prime purpose of holding the Senior Snaps is to get the members of the class acquainted with each other. According to present plans, April Fool Features are to predominate, and Dorothy Halderman, vice president or the senior class, promises that there will be plenty of nice, cool punch—the best ever!! Admission will Tie by Snap Tags only, and every Senior is urged to buy one of these tags at once. They are now on sale for twenty-five cents each at the booth in the Associated Students Store, or may be purchased from any member of the Social Committee of the Senior Class, which is made up of Helen Green, Martha Smith, Harold Dougher, and Bud King The list of patrons and patronesses includes Professor and Mrs. Oliver J. Marston. ACCLAIMED SUCCESS The last Snap was held the night of March 11 at the Pi Beta Phi house at 647 West 28th Street. Eighty seniors turned out for this dance, and every one acclaimed it a huge success botn as a dance and as an informal get-together. The members of the Social Committee promise that the April Fool affair will be even a greater success, and accordingly they are busy perfecting plans to put on several stunts which will be in keeping with the atmosphere of April Fools Day. Undoubtedly, every Senior took part in some kind of mischief on All Fools Night in his younger days, and it is hoped that many of our dignified Seniors will revert to their childish 'ways enough to come out for the last Snap before Spring Vacation. POIZE YELL IS CHOSEN AI BALL? Six Yells Chosen To Be Tried Out In Friday Assembly This afternoon at 4 o'clock the Allen T. Archer Yell Contest which has been raging on the campus for the past week or so will come to a close. The yell offerings will be carefully rewritten and numbered (this to do away with any chance of political pressure having any voice in the final decision) and the judges, Ned Lewis, Hank McCann, Lindiey Bothwell, (former yell-king,) Harry Silke, Don Cameron and Sam Gates, will get to work. The judges will select six yells which will be tried out before the assembled student-body in Friday Chapel. The winner will be decided on the spot. Mr. Archer, who conducted a similar contest here two years ago, which received hearty response, realizing that the present Southern California yells are a bit hackneyed, made the offer of $100 in gold to the student sunbmitting the most appropriate original yell, the result being a keen interest in the contest. NEED SOMETHING NEW According to Sam Gates, who is in charge of the contest, it is hoped that something new in the way of college yells will come to light, and that Southern California’s fame can be yelled and shouted at games in an entirely new manner. “Of course,,r said Mr. Gates this morning, “the yells will be somewhat of the usual ‘Rah Rah’ type ,but what we want is strict originality. Any yell that resembles the cheering used by any other school or university will not likely receive the recognition by the judges which an entirely new one will, and we urge embryo yell writers to adhere strictly to the principal of originality. German Grammar Will Be Given This Summer For the purpose of giving an opportunity for graduate students to review the elements of German grammar and reading a course has been designed to meet their needs to be given in the summer session by Professor Margaret G. Bothwick. The course will be under the name of “Advanced German Reading and Grammar.” Miss Borthwick has felt that such a course has been needed for sometime. Not only do graduate students need such a review but the course will help undergraduate students meet their foreign language requirements. All students that are working for a doctor’s degree will find it necessary to have a reading knowledge of the German language according to Miss Borthwick. The class will meet four times a week. Once a week each student will have a conference with the instructor on some phase of the German language that interests the- student most. Those specializing in literature will be assigned special reading in the works of the German poets and playwrights. Those specializing in science and philosophy will also have separate assignments in their field. Students interested in such a course should register for the session with Lester Burton Rogers, Dean of the Summer Session as soon as possible. GLEE CLUB SIGNS ORPHEUM CONTRACT Trojan Singers Rehearsing For Appearance in Vaudeville Theatres BASKETBALL GAME TO BE FEATURE OF EDUCATION COURSES ATTRACT MANY TO SESSION Thirty Education Courses To Meet State Requirements Are Scheduled Wrestling, Boxing and Barbecue Dinner Are Also On The Bill Engineers and Lawyers of Souther* California are expecting a big time Friday night when rival basketball teams of the two factions clash at the annual Engineers’ round-up, to be held in the men’s gym. Students of Law and Engineering have long claimed superiority over the other in basketball. and the matter is expected to be settled once and for all on Friday. The contest will start promptly at 7:30, and those interested in seeing just how football can be played on a basketball court are asked to attend, says Burdette Ives, in charge of the affair. Two members of the local Japanese student club have consented to stage an exhibition of Jui-Jitsu wrestling, and, as each of the contestants is said to have had considerable experience in his native land, some fast mat work is expected. Following the game, wrestling, boxing, and other events which make up the well-filled program, a barbecue dinner will be served. Several young porks will b# slaughtered and roasted especially for the round-up, and the meat will be topped off with cider and doughnuts. Tickets for this event are on sale at the Associated Students’ Store, and every man on the campus is invited to attend. Although it is primarily an engineering affair, says Burdette, a large crowd of several hundred men from all colleges of the campus i3 expected. The admission price has been set at twenty-five cents. Teachers will have a chance to get the point of view of their students when they change places with them in the classroom at the twentieth annual summer session of the University of Southern California. The eight weeks division will open June 15 and close August 7, while the six week division begins June 29 and ends August 7. Teachers will be offered every opportunity for professional improvement as well as to qualify for higher certificates including the elementary, special, junior high school, high school, school administration, and supervision credentials. Many grade teachers who wish to qualify for junior and senior high school positions are thus enabled to carry on regular university work in residence without the necessity of forfeiting their teaching positions. Each summer a considerable number of candidates for the recommendation for the high school credentials complete the requirements and are qualified for high school positions for the following year. The longer session makes it possible for students to complete eight units of work. This opportunity will be of particular interest to students working towards a bachelor’s degree and to experienced teachers, who are working for a general high school credential. More than thirty education courses, organized to meet state requirements, will be offered under the direction of regular faculty professors and visiting scholars who are specialists in this field. The visiting faculty members include Vierling Kernsey, A. M., as-sistent superintendent of school, Los Angeles; Herbert Popenoe, statistician Department of Psychology and Educational Research, Lon Angeles City Schools; William Carl Ruediger, Ph. D., Dean of Teacher’s College, George Wash’ngton University ;and Clement H. Smith, A. B., superintendent of schools. Bell, California. The most outstanding education courses to be featured include: principles of Elementary Education. Public according to Burdette, will cover expends for the barbecue. (CONTINUED ON PAOE Frmrt) S.C. STAFF IS SPEEDY EDITING “DAILY NEWS” Day by day, the Southern California Trojan staff is getting more and more proficient in the art of publishing dailies in Southern California towns and cities. The Whittier Daily News, was the last newspaper taken over by the staff last Saturday, editing the news in a quick and systematic manner so that the paper was on the streets at three o’clock, approximately one-half hour before regular press time. Grady Setzler proved himself a capable managing editor, while Ralpn Holly and Marguerite Matson assisted with the heads and editorials. Dorothy Crowley was ‘terribly’ busy all morning telephoning society belles, and caterers to find out who was giving the next party, reception, weddings, etc. Maude Miller, Helen Scheuer, and Con-sulto Tachet, copped first honors as being the best (and only) feature writers of the day. Plaudits for the distinction of being star re porters go to George Jordan, and Jack Berman whose delicate duties were the Police station, C. of C., the Court house and the College. With a contract on the Orpheum Circuit that insures many future bookings at the best theatres in Southern California, the local Glee Club has been active in the last two weeks trying out for this circuit and perfecting their act that promises to develop into a headline attraction before their contract expires. Southern California has in past years been noted for the high standards of Glee Clubs turned out, but not until this season has one signed up for such a number of high class engagements that the contract with the Or-pheum Circuit includes. Theatres from Santa Barbara to San Diego will place the Southern California Glee Club on their bills before summer, it is said. Singing before a packed house at the Strand Theatre in San Bernardino recently, the Club "went over big” and was forced to recognize a number of curtain calls after their act, according to Van Johnson, manager of the Glee Ciub. He states that at that time the act went through its final trial for the present contract, and that officials of the Orpheum Circuit were convinced of the ability of the 5. C. singers. SCHEDULE REHEARSALS Not only have regular rehearsals been on the schedule this season, but many have been worked in between the stated ones. One of the most successful of these was held at the home of Everett Leighton, member and one of the leading singers of the club. Mr. Leighton entertained the members of the club with a dinner on the same night of the practice. Long Beach is the next city on the Club’s schedule, according to Mr. Johnson. A three day stand starting April 6, at the State Theatre is the tentative program in that city, he says. Not until later in the Spring will the club appear in any Los Angeles theatre. Members of the club state, however, that several weeks engagements at the two Orpheum theatres in this city will probably be arranged. Twenty men make up the Club when it fills its stage engagements. As the act stands now, fourteen minutes is allowed for its presentation. It is thought that with several tentative features added to it, the time limit will be extended. JUNIOR CLASS TO HAVE BALL SQUAD Junior men interested in organizing a class team for the coming interclass baseball championships are requested to meet in front of the Administration building at 3:15 today. President Ron Snavely requests that all ball players attend the meeting, or sign up for the squad with him. This is the last year that interfraternity basketball will be played at the Louisiana State University, according to a decision of the interfraternity council. Dental College Dean Returns From Chicago Dr. L. E. Ford, Dean of Colloge of Dentistry, University of Southern California, returned from Chicago, yesterday morning where he attended the Convention of the American Associa^ tion of Dental Schools. The Association has as its object the betterment of the dental profession. The DentaJ Educational Program was th% topic considered at the meeting. University of Kansas—Agitation is being carried on to exempt seniors of A and B standing from their final second semester examinations. Effigy of Spanish Galleon Sails Into Last Port Here By CONSUE What is perhaps the most unique term paper ever turned in by a Southern California student was received by Professor Vandegrift of the History Department, in the form of a miniature Spanish galleon. Caleb Lyon, a graduate student at the Metropolitan College, spent two months in research, investigating all available information obtainable on the historic Manila galleon that for nearly 200 yea^3 ran from Manila to Mexico in annual trips, laden with treasure cargoes. The galleon was the only ship that made the trip from the Philippines to the Pacific coast, the map of the route being a jealously guarded secret of the Spanish government. Mr. Lyon, who is a manual training instructor at the Inglewood High School, took up the work of making the small replica of the famous ship as a. project in his classes at the high school. Plans were drawn up by the LO TACHET students, the proportions used being 16.6.2. Nearly 200 pupils, in all, worked on the project. Completed, the ship is about two and a half feet from bow to stern, and as Professor Vandegrift says “presents as accurate reproduction of the ancient square rigged vessel of e^ly Spanish colonization, as available research can ascertain.” The ship has four masts and is painted a green-blue color. It stands in a miniature dry dock. Caleb Lyon is a student in Mr. Van-degrift’s Pacific Slope History class at the downtown college. When announcement was made that maps or replicas of historic objects would be accepted in lieu of semester papers, he took the professor at his word. To inclose the interesting vessel, he made a grip-like wooden case with a handle. This will enable Mr. Vandegrift to more easily carry the interesting objct about with him, for as he says, “I never give back term papers.”

POIZE YELL IS CHOSEN AI BALL? Six Yells Chosen To Be Tried Out In Friday Assembly This afternoon at 4 o'clock the Allen T. Archer Yell Contest which has been raging on the campus for the past week or so will come to a close. The yell offerings will be carefully rewritten and numbered (this to do away with any chance of political pressure having any voice in the final decision) and the judges, Ned Lewis, Hank McCann, Lindiey Bothwell, (former yell-king,) Harry Silke, Don Cameron and Sam Gates, will get to work.

Teachers will be offered every opportunity for professional improvement as well as to qualify for higher certificates including the elementary, special, junior high school, high school, school administration, and supervision credentials. Many grade teachers who wish to qualify for junior and senior high school positions are thus enabled to carry on regular university work in residence without the necessity of forfeiting their teaching positions. Each summer a considerable number of candidates for the recommendation for the high school credentials complete the requirements and are qualified for high school positions for the following year. The longer session makes it possible for students to complete eight units of work. This opportunity will be of particular interest to students working towards a bachelor’s degree and to experienced teachers, who are working for a general high school credential. More than thirty education courses, organized to meet state requirements, will be offered under the direction of regular faculty professors and visiting scholars who are specialists in this field. The visiting faculty members include Vierling Kernsey, A. M., as-sistent superintendent of school, Los Angeles; Herbert Popenoe, statistician Department of Psychology and Educational Research, Lon Angeles City Schools; William Carl Ruediger, Ph. D., Dean of Teacher’s College, George Wash’ngton University ;and Clement H. Smith, A. B., superintendent of schools. Bell, California. The most outstanding education courses to be featured include: principles of Elementary Education. Public according to Burdette, will cover expends for the barbecue. (CONTINUED ON PAOE Frmrt) S.C. STAFF IS SPEEDY EDITING “DAILY NEWS” Day by day, the Southern California Trojan staff is getting more and more proficient in the art of publishing dailies in Southern California towns and cities. The Whittier Daily News, was the last newspaper taken over by the staff last Saturday, editing the news in a quick and systematic manner so that the paper was on the streets at three o’clock, approximately one-half hour before regular press time. Grady Setzler proved himself a capable managing editor, while Ralpn Holly and Marguerite Matson assisted with the heads and editorials. Dorothy Crowley was ‘terribly’ busy all morning telephoning society belles, and caterers to find out who was giving the next party, reception, weddings, etc. Maude Miller, Helen Scheuer, and Con-sulto Tachet, copped first honors as being the best (and only) feature writers of the day. Plaudits for the distinction of being star re porters go to George Jordan, and Jack Berman whose delicate duties were the Police station, C. of C., the Court house and the College. With a contract on the Orpheum Circuit that insures many future bookings at the best theatres in Southern California, the local Glee Club has been active in the last two weeks trying out for this circuit and perfecting their act that promises to develop into a headline attraction before their contract expires. Southern California has in past years been noted for the high standards of Glee Clubs turned out, but not until this season has one signed up for such a number of high class engagements that the contract with the Or-pheum Circuit includes. Theatres from Santa Barbara to San Diego will place the Southern California Glee Club on their bills before summer, it is said. Singing before a packed house at the Strand Theatre in San Bernardino recently, the Club "went over big” and was forced to recognize a number of curtain calls after their act, according to Van Johnson, manager of the Glee Ciub. He states that at that time the act went through its final trial for the present contract, and that officials of the Orpheum Circuit were convinced of the ability of the 5. C. singers. SCHEDULE REHEARSALS Not only have regular rehearsals been on the schedule this season, but many have been worked in between the stated ones. One of the most successful of these was held at the home of Everett Leighton, member and one of the leading singers of the club. Mr. Leighton entertained the members of the club with a dinner on the same night of the practice. Long Beach is the next city on the Club’s schedule, according to Mr. Johnson. A three day stand starting April 6, at the State Theatre is the tentative program in that city, he says. Not until later in the Spring will the club appear in any Los Angeles theatre. Members of the club state, however, that several weeks engagements at the two Orpheum theatres in this city will probably be arranged. Twenty men make up the Club when it fills its stage engagements. As the act stands now, fourteen minutes is allowed for its presentation. It is thought that with several tentative features added to it, the time limit will be extended. JUNIOR CLASS TO HAVE BALL SQUAD Junior men interested in organizing a class team for the coming interclass baseball championships are requested to meet in front of the Administration building at 3:15 today. President Ron Snavely requests that all ball players attend the meeting, or sign up for the squad with him. This is the last year that interfraternity basketball will be played at the Louisiana State University, according to a decision of the interfraternity council.

Ford, Dean of Colloge of Dentistry, University of Southern California, returned from Chicago, yesterday morning where he attended the Convention of the American Associa^ tion of Dental Schools. The Association has as its object the betterment of the dental profession. The DentaJ Educational Program was th% topic considered at the meeting. University of Kansas—Agitation is being carried on to exempt seniors of A and B standing from their final second semester examinations. Effigy of Spanish Galleon Sails Into Last Port Here By CONSUE What is perhaps the most unique term paper ever turned in by a Southern California student was received by Professor Vandegrift of the History Department, in the form of a miniature Spanish galleon. Caleb Lyon, a graduate student at the Metropolitan College, spent two months in research, investigating all available information obtainable on the historic Manila galleon that for nearly 200 yea^3 ran from Manila to Mexico in annual trips, laden with treasure cargoes. The galleon was the only ship that made the trip from the Philippines to the Pacific coast, the map of the route being a jealously guarded secret of the Spanish government. Mr. Lyon, who is a manual training instructor at the Inglewood High School, took up the work of making the small replica of the famous ship as a. project in his classes at the high school. Plans were drawn up by the LO TACHET students, the proportions used being 16.6.2. Nearly 200 pupils, in all, worked on the project. Completed, the ship is about two and a half feet from bow to stern, and as Professor Vandegrift says “presents as accurate reproduction of the ancient square rigged vessel of e^ly Spanish colonization, as available research can ascertain.” The ship has four masts and is painted a green-blue color. It stands in a miniature dry dock. Caleb Lyon is a student in Mr. Van-degrift’s Pacific Slope History class at the downtown college. When announcement was made that maps or replicas of historic objects would be accepted in lieu of semester papers, he took the professor at his word. To inclose the interesting vessel, he made a grip-like wooden case with a handle. This will enable Mr. Vandegrift to more easily carry the interesting objct about with him, for as he says, “I never give back term papers.” |
