DEBATE SCHEDULE NEXT VEAR IS BIG
Plan to Meet Some of the Best Eastern Teams In Fair Competition
Sam Gates, manager-elect of Debate and Oratory at U. S. C., has alreadv begun activities for arranging th» 1925-U6 season and indications point to next year’s schedule as being the: most pretentious ever attempted by a Trojan forensic team.
One of the greatest of the eastern j teams will probably be heard in Bovard Auditorium early in 1926 in a contest which will vie in importance with the famous Oxford affair of last January. Several of the schools which were met by Barber and Lewis on this year's trip through the middle-west have signified their desire to meet the, Trojans in a return engagement at Los Angeles.
Besides this. Southern California will enter a team in the Southern Cal- ^ ifornia debate conterence and rumored that two trips are to scheduled for the 1925-20 season. If arrangements for these trips are car-1 ried out, one Trojan team will journey south through New Mexico, Colorado and then north as far as I tah. An-, other team will be sent north along j the coast where they will meet the most prominent squads of the Pacific j slope as far north as British Colum-. bia.
Although William Barber. Bernard Brennan. Al Griewe and Ned Lewis will not return next year, prospects tor an excellent squad next season are j brigh*. Captain-elect Ray Brennan., Iceland Tallman, Sam Gates, Arthur Syvertson. Adna Leonard. Manuel j Ruiz, Bill Henley, and several other of this year's team are returning along with several of Southern California's best high school stars who are coming j to U. S. C. next fall. Among the latter are: Elwood Harman and H. C. j Garrison of Alhambra, Frank Colston of Moorpark, Robert Armacost of j Santa Monica, and Ralph Pace of U | S. C. i>rep school.
gift to the university are only a few of the more important ceremonies of this day. Bernard Brennan, member of the law class of '25. will be the speaker of the day.
But this is only half of it. For at 8:30 that evening at the Gamma Epsilon house the Juniors and Seniors will gather in the last Snap of the year. Chet Beard’s orchestra, a veranda dimly lighted with Japanese lanterns, special refreshments, punch, 1 and everything else necessary to a real dance will be there and added attractions beside.
The Seniors have planned to make this entire day a fitting close to their student activities, and the Juniors who attend the affair in the evening and the school at large that attends the Ivy Day exercises in the afternoon are assured by the hard-working committees of at leas getting their “money’s worth.”

School of Speech Not Running Matrimonial Bureau.
Says Dean
Asserting that the School of Speech is not a matrimonial bureau, but that nevertheless the department “aims to please.” and that it can give helpful hints to the bashful and timid, Dean Immel declared, at Friday morning’s assembly that there are three ways of getting a wife.
“One is to come early, stay late, and sit close; a second is to follow the policy of Richard Brindsley Sheridan, as outlined Dy Clayton Hamilton, namely, find out to whom the best men are making love this season and then make love to her yourself, doing it better than the others do it, of course. A third way is exemplified in the “Taming of the Shrew.” Make it a sporting proposition as did Petruchio. Some people try to reach the north pole; others try to climb Mt. Everest, but Petruchio was the bravest and most intrepid adventurer of them all. He discovered the wickedest tempered woman of his day, Katherine, and de- ( termined to make her his wife.
*The Taming of the Shrew,'” continued Dean Immel, “is a rollicking comedy by one William Shakespeare. You may have heard of him. The School of Speech is giving a modernized version of this wild comedy on the evening of June 16. Bring your relatives and your friends, and your enemies, if you have any."
Miss Josephine Campbell and Robert Rade as Petruchio, gave a brief sketch from the “Taming of the Shrew.” According to those present, something of the fire and humor of the coming performance was hinted at in the short scene which they enacted. The slap which Katherine gave Petruchio upon his first advance, echoed through the auditorium.
With finals in the background and tickets only 50c., it is expected that, not only all the campus shieks, but the* timid and bashful “would-bes” as well will attend the performance in great numbers, so as to gather new ideas from the fearless Petruchio for their prospective “lines" to be used during the summer vacation.
According to Miss Florence Hubbard, who is in charge of the general direction of the cast of twrenty-five, the play is a modernized interpretation which was used by their presenta-

Now that the graduation time is really here, and those years of Seemingly endless toil in college are really drawing to a close, the graduating students are beginning to ask themselves whether or not they are really glad to be through with college. Of course there is much to say on both sides of that question. It is impossible to remain in any institution four years without forming associations which are not easily broken, and which must necessari-
- ly cease with the graduation. On all
fsides, as graduating time approaches, can be heard expressions of regret that colleges days are over. On the I other hand, there is much to look forward to. The labor of years In the I student’s chosen profession is to be j given practical application. The predominating spirit expressed on all sides seems to be: “I have not finished. I am only beginning.”
Monday, June 15th. the Commencement program will begin in earnest with the Pansy Breakfast to Senior Women at the Delta Delta Delta house, and the Annual Commencement Concert of the College of Music in Bovard Auditorium in the evening.
The Annual Commencement Concert of the College of Music of the University of Southern California will be held Monday evening. June 15th, in Bovard Auditorium. The program will progress in the following order: Program

Bigger and Better Wampus * To Be Given Campus In Fall
Wampus is to appear on the campus during the opening week of next semester in a completely new makeup and with sixty-four pages of literary matter, according to Grady Setzler, editor-in-chief who skillfully piloted the publication through the past year.
The Wampus has had the most successful year in its six year career both in the literary and financial sense. The magazine has made its way to the front rank of college comics and has been extensively quoted in college publicationss and professional magazines.
According to tentative plans the additional pages are to be devoted to literary matter, poetry, and camera studies. The satirical and light humorous material is to be continued. Chester Mackie and Ralph Holly have been appointed associate editors and will have charge of the new department. As the magazine is to be made up this summer it is urged that contributors turn their copy in early.
Mr. Setzler declared that he is fortunate in losing only four members of i his staff and feels that the present j high level of work will be maintained i by the energetic writers who are to re- [ turn. Those who are graduating this 1 spring are; Dorothy Crowley who has ! written consistently for two years j turning out clever satire on our mod- j ern sensationalist novelists and poetry I which has been liberally quoted. Mar- ! guerite Matson has also been on the staff for two years, her specialty he- i ing blank verse which has been of e- [ ceptionallv high quality. Marquis ■ Busby has turned out many short sto- , ries and sketches of diversified nature I in a highly satirical vein. His “One j Mile to Go” has been declared to be j of the type that brings fame to pub- 1
lication and writer. Norman Lowe of the art staff has contributed some of the best art work, including the cover designs and sketches.
Among the members of the staff who are to return are Maud Miller, Mamie Louise Leung. Dorothy Marie Davis, Chester Mackie. Ralph Holly. Rita Pad way. Valerie Baldwin. Lylian Anderson, Julia Suski Ana Lee Camp and John Post.
The art work of this year’s issues have shown considerable improvement. The covers have been well drawn and approach a professional level. Some unusual talent in the art field has appeared in the Wampus issues and the cuts have been reproduced in many publications.
Of the six issues, it is hard to decide which one is the best as all have had special features that make comparison difficiul. The cover of tho “Feline” number drawn by John Post has been declared one of the best of recent years. Julia’s Suski’s cover for the “Old Grad’s" issue is of high quality also and shows distinct originality.
Some of the best poetry of the year appeared jn the last two issues, but the quality of the poems has been good throughout the year. Kipling and the Mother Goose poems have been the most frequently parodied.
Many good short stories and sketches have appeared in Wampus this year, but it has been suggested that there be a greater variety of short articles for next year.
The issues for the year were: ‘Cradle Number.’ ‘Old Grads." ‘Neck's Number.’ ‘Greek Number.’ ‘Feline’ and ‘Moron.’ In conclusion—Wampus has wide recognition from national publications as well as the U. S. C. faculty.
