Procedure to be Followed
By RALPH HOLLY
Chief of Police Vol liner is backing the U. S. C. mock convention which !
is to take place here Thursday. Permission to use the services of three
or four patrolmen from the University station to preserve order on the I
convention floor has been given by the police head to the students man- I
aging the political conclave. This information was received from Miss '

Convention procedure and tactics
to be used in the approval of the
planks of the platform were discussed at a meeting of state chairmen
held Friday evening. Because of
the many social events held on that
evening but one fourth of the state
leaders   attended   this   gathering.
Because of a condition caused by
a shortage of delegates signed up
by state chairmen it was found nee
essary to choose representatives
from students attending chapel. Every student is to represent some
state either as a delegate or an alternative. Students not appearing
will be marked absent as the convention   is   to   take     place     during
chapel hour Thursday. Badges for
each delegate may be had at the
Students* Store, Wednesday morning.
"Many arguments are expected to
be heard during the convention.
Heated debates are to keep the conclave from be ng a cut and dried
affair. The fact that the personnel
of the convention includes radicals
as well as conservatives and liberals is going to make the affair far
from uninteresting."
The above statements are credited to James .Mussatti, chairman of
the convention. Mussatti will wield
the gavel and keep the convention
organized so no unnecessary details
will   be   brought   to  the   attention   o

Students Are Asked To
Call For Cinch Cards
A very large number of both lower
and upper division students have neglected to call at the Registrar's office for their reports of failing or
inferior work. It is important that,
they should do this right away, in
order that they may know just how
th«-y stand while there is still time to
make good in their courses.

By Notre Dame Mentor; Norma Gould on
Schedule for Course in Dance
By    SARAH    JOHNSTON
Students who are trying to cram a great number of credits into a
small amount of time space, as well as new students this summer, will
have a wide choice in professors. Many eminent educators are on the
visiting members' ist of the faculty for the summer session of '24. So,
the student who proves fickle to his old prof will have variety and will
not   jeopardize   his   chances   of   learning.
Physical Education leads in the^
largest number of visiting members.
There are to be six in that department, namely: Clarence L Glean
Supervisor of Physical Education.
Los Angeles City Schools; Norma

ALL SORORITIES
READY TOR DANCE
Annual Panhellenic Dance Given
At   Hotel   Green   On
Week's Program
Wednesday evening. April 30. is the
date of one of the largest and most
important social functions of the year,
the Panbeilenic Formal to be given
at Hotel Green in Pasadena. The
dance is to take the form of a scholarship beneifit helping those who would
otherwise be unable to compete their
college course. Tickets sell for $1.50
and all sororities on the campus are
supporting the event 100 per cent.
McVea's colored orchestra has
been chosen to supply the music for
the evening. According to reports
they are unusually good. They have
supplied the jazz on numerous occasions for many of the leading organizations on the campus
Panhellenic   has   been   honored   by
i>ing as its patrons and pritroneoses,
Dr. and Mrs. von KleinSmid, Mr. and
Mrs. Warren Bovard, Dr. and Mrs.
Lowry, Miss Ruth Brown. Miss Emily
Biles, Ficfessor and Mrs. Marston and j
Dr.  and  Mrs.   Gilliard.
The dance is always enjoyed by
every one as it is the only event
whereby all sororities on the campus
may meet and exchange dances. The
third and the seventh dances have
been reserved for girls of different
sororities thus providing a good method   for all  to  become  acquainted.
Alpha Chi Omega sorority is chairman, with Phi Mu and Zeta Tau Alpha
assisting. All assure a wonderful
time. Edith Koke .the Alpha Chi in
charge of all arrangements, has been
working hard to make the dance a
big success.
It can be stated that Panhellenic
has decided that flowers will be taboo so all men desiring to present
such will postpone it and wait for
another opportunity.

ON CHAPEL PROGRAM
With the A. A. U. championship
meet coming off Saturday and the
Olympic tryouts scheduled for May
24th. track is beginning to cause its
first ripple in student circles this ■
season. To further this slowly awakening enthusiasm, Gwynn Wilson and
Hal Williamson are planning a track
:a"ly for chapel todlay which will have
all football rallies backed off the map.
According to plans made yesterday,
Robert S. Weaver, president of the
Southern Pacific Association of the
A. A. U. will be the chief speaker
of   ;     Hone     %i   Weaver, or Bob, as

A. W.S. Tag Funds
Go To Womens Hall
Today is annual A. W. S   tag day!
The Women's Building Fund furnishes the motive for this year's Associated Womens Student Body- tag
day and the women's slogan is "Every
Trojan wear a tag."
The representative of A. W. S at
the Biltmore lncheon cost $200. This
money must be raised before the end
of the year and today's tag proceeds
will "do the stuff."

S:16. and according to George Hall,
if everything runs smoothly, it
should end at 10:45. tfhere are eleven acts, each of which is allowed
ten menutes on the stage. Five
minutes is being allowed for the
changes.
Billed as the opener, Virginia
Thompson and "Bill" Collins will
give the Argentine tango. Next, Car
elton Moorehouse and Charley Reag-
er entertain with a dialogue, "An
Artist's  Studio."
The third act brings on the stage
one of the last years road show-
favorites, "Yanks" Allen. With him
in a whistling duet is *'AI" Beh-
rendt. 'Yanks," besides being a
whistler of old campus renown, is a
jig artist. It is probable that as an
encore he will favor the audience
with a dance. No word need be
mentioned of the quality of Al"
Behrendt's whistling. He and Allen
should be a knock-out together. They
will be accompanied by "Bud" King
and   his  orchestra.

Final   Instructions   G iven
Out at Dinner This
Evening
"Keep the Trojan in China"
will be the slogan of the hundred odd workers who will can-
vass the different campuses of
the University of Southern California tomorrow and Thursday
to raise the money necessary to
keep U. S. C.'s missionary alumnus in China. These workers are to gather in the University cafeteria this evening to get
their final instructions for the
drive.
Barton Hutchins and Helen
Green have been chosen to head
up the actual canvassing of the
campaign. Teams have been entered by the Sophomore Executive Committee, the College of
Music, the College of Pharmacy,
the College of Dentistrv, the
College of Law. and the Y. M.
C. A. The work among the wo-
I men has been divided among six
I teams and these will be cap-
| tamed by Rachel Coleman, Doris Hooper, Rose Mary Glick,
Katherine Curtis, Elizabeth
Kemp, and  Margaret  Edgin.
Lea Heineman, chairman of the
Service Campaign executive committee, stated yesterday that this proposition should not be limited to
those students who are interested in
the spread of Christianity. The support of our representative in Peking
means the advancement of education
and civilization and American idealism along many lines of thinking.
We must not think that we are supporting a religion only, although
that would be worthwhile. Harold
Harris is carrying the 'spirit of U.
S.  C  to the Chinese people."
There has not been any specific
quota set for the groups mentioned
but it is the hope of the executive
committee to reach the $2,000 mark.
The highest sum yet realized in any
campaign was over $2100, given by
the students in 1921. This amount
will meet the entire expenses of the
missionary without malting help
from outside organizations necessary.
A unique feature of this year's
methods will be the cardboard thermometers that will register the
amounts obtained by the various
teams   during   the   campaign.
Harold Harris, the representative
to whom the support is given, is an
alumnus of U. S. C. He has been
working in the University of Peking
for the past three years. It was
two years previous to that time that
this University undertook to support a professor in the University
of Peking.
