HONOR FRATERNITY HOLDS MOCK TRIAL
Ellsworth Ross B. V. D. Scene is Center of Attraction in Burlesque
Skull and Dagger members held their annual mock trial in Bovard Auditorium Friday during the noon period.
Considering the hour at which it was held a sizeable crowd turned out to hear the “line”, on notables and greek organizations on the campus. Altho the “line” put out was good, it is said, the side action by those who were not speaking distracted from the putting across of the jabs that were offered.
Members of Skull and Dagger have been working on the presentation of their act for the past few weeks, and it was the opinion of those who heard the trial, that if a chapel hour had been selected instead of the noon period .a packed house would have resulted.
As to the financial success of the offering no word could be gathered. It is doubtful, however, if the gate receipts came up to expectations. The main theme of the burlesque centered around Ellsworth Ross and his recent B. V. D. scene in Chapel. This proved to be a good center of attraction, but as has been already mentioned, the side action detracted too much from the words of the players, according to school critics and a player in the trial.
Altho it is said that this year’s trial was an improvement over the one of last year, this is merely a statement of the opinions of the minority, and can not be used as a fair standard of measure. It must be taken into consideration, according to student opinion, that only one or two of the men appearing in the trial have ever had any stage training, and that the others played fair parts considering their inexperience.
The men who took part in the trial were: Bud Houser, Fay Thomas, Otto Anderson, Gene Dorsey. Kenny Boyer, Mark Busby. Ray Brennan “Beddy” Griffith, Lowell Lindley, Bart Hutchins. Myrl Ott, Bob Green, Burke Long, Walter Hodgson. Ellsworth Ross Ray MacDonald Don Cameron. Boyd Welin. and Wallace Newman.
With feature events scheduled for every minute throughout the entire day. Mothers’ Day, which is to be observed on the Southern California campus next Wednesday, promises to be one of the biggest events conducted by the University Y. M. C. A. this year. The observance of Mothers* Day has come to be an annual event at Southern California, due to the great success which attended the affair last year.
Every Trojan man in the University is urged to bring his mother to the campus next Wednesday, and the committee in charge promises that every mother attending will be royally entertained. The day will begin at eight o'clock with the distribution of carnations to all men on the campus lo be worn in honor of the mothers. The regular Wednesday chapel, while not to be given over entirely to Mothers’ Day, will recognize the occasion, and at that time the mothers will be officially welcomed to the campus.
Stanley McKee, president of the University Y. M. C. A., reports that every campus fraternity has agreed to cooperate with the Y. M. C. A. by holding open house Wednesday noon for the mothers of all campus men, whether their sons are organization men or not. Members of the different fra ternities will take their visiting mothers to their respective houses, and others of the honored guests will be taken care of at the various houses. Lunch for the mothers will also be served by the girls at the Y. W. C. A. lodge.
Visiting on the campus will occupy the time until 2:30, when Mrs. von KleinSmid, together with the University Women’s Club and the University Y. W. C. A. will act as hostesses at a tea for the mothers at the Y. W. C. A. lodge. The girls announcethat an interesting program has been arranged, including music and readings. Refreshments are also promised.
The big feature of the day will take place at 5:30, when the regular Wed-
nesday night dinner and meeting of the Y. M C. A. will be combined with a special Mother's Day Banquet, which will probably be the biggest thing of its kind ever held at Southern California. Tickets tor the banquet are now being sold at the Y Hut at $1.50. Each ticket is good for two guests— the mother and her son. According to Paul Reid, the dinner is to be exceptionally appetizing and will include everything needed to make a real banquet, with chicken for the main course. Stanley McKee ttates that the dinner for the two will cost the Y much more than the dollar and a half charged, but that the committee in charge decided to sell the tickets at this low price in order that every man on the campus could afford to take bis moth-ei to the banquet. A big demand for tickets is anticipated, and those who plan to bring their mothers are urged to buy theirs not later than today if possible. The tickets may be purchased at the Y Hut or from the following members of the Y. M. C. A.: Stanley McKee, Leland Tallman, William Montague, John McGee. Paul Reid, and Willard Schurr.
Mr. W. L. Y. Davis, known to Trojans as the man who spoke in Chapel on “My Back Yard.” will be the principal speaker at the banquet. A reading will be given by Miss Comstock, who has given entire programs before many organizations in this city, including the Friday Morning Club. She is said to be unusually interesting, and her part of the program will be one of the features of the banquet. Stanley McKee, president of the Y, will welcome the mothers, and Ray Brennan will act as toastmaster. Among others who will give short talks are Mrs. R. B. von KleinSmid. Ned Lewis .president of the Associated Students, and Mrs. Lena Fisher.
All arrangements for this second annual observance of Mothers’ Day are in the hands of a special Mother’s Day Committee, made up of Douglas Evan chairman. Burdette Henney, and Willard Shurr.

Annual Spring Concert Tour Taken Under Leadership of Hal Roberts
PRESIDENT SEEKS FACULTY MEMBERS
Dr.
von KleinSmid to Interview Candidates for S. C. Positions
. C. FRESHMEN EXPLAIN MEANING
OF CAMPUS MYSTERY POSTERS
The way to save it is to spend it, und the place to spend it is at the pavilion.
That’s what the freshmei* mean when they explain the posters that say “Save May 8.” All the excitement about just what it is that is to be saved is explained by the frosh executive committee who are planning a big spring dance for Friday night of this week. May 8. at the men's gymnasium.
Tickets are out this morning, going at one dollar per couple. The ticket booth in the Student's Store has a stock of dance pasteboards, as have the members of the social committee. Hank Rohr. Dorothy Moore, Carl Plate, Burdette Henney, George Lewis, Ray Hatfield, Martha Wiggett, Paul Elmquist, and Gordon Crane, who are being kept busy by a big demand.
working with the president, Ray Hatfield. and the vice-president Dorothy Moore, are planning the spring sport dance as the final thing of the first-year class activities.
An interview with Ray Hatfield, president, reveals the fact that the social committee is “working like the dickens” to put on a dance worth the price of admission.
Transformed into a garden of spring beauty, the men’s gymnasium will drop its usual prosaic mein, says the committee. and for that evening become a spot of verdant gaiety.
“Do as you please, both about dates and dress. We”re not dictating what you shall wear, or how or with whom you come. If you have nothing else but a tux or an evening gown, wear what you have.” advises the frosh social committee. “It will be a sport
To stage a final frolic before they go 1 dance, however, and a decidedly out of office, the social committee, springy' affair,” they added.
One of the main objectives of Presi-ident R. B. von KleinSmid, who went east recently to attend the meetings of the University Senate of the Board of Education of the Methodist church, will be to interview' candidates for faculty positions with the University of Southern California.
The Board of Education will convene at Northwestern University, Evanston. Illinois, on May 4th, 5th and 6th of this week. Dr. von KleinSmid is a layman member of the committee and represents the University of Southern California.
Not a great deal of time will be consumed on this trip as Dr. von Klein-Smid must hurry back to deliver some of the numerous commencement addresses that he is. scheduled for with high schools and colleges of California. Starting May 29th with LaVerne College, dates have been given to various high schools right up to the Southern California commencement exercises w’hich come about the 15th of June. So many requests were made for Dr |von KleinSmid’s services as speaker at commencement day programs that several had to be refused on account of his promise to appear elsewhere.
TROJANS PUBLISH POMONA PROGRESS
Marguerite Matson Takes Charge With Holly and Crowley As Desk Editors
Brigham Young University — The graduation class this year will have 877 students. It is the largest clacS in the history of the school.
The University of Wisconsin track team has a prize specimen in a 290 pound wpight man on the squad. When he appeared in the locker room the walls were enlarged to give him space to walk around and stretch. In the words of the football men: “It would be like playing against a mountain to see him playing against you on the line.”
With Marguerite Matson as managing editor, and Ralph Holly and Dot Crowley as news editors, several members of the staff of the Southern California Daily Trojan completely edited a t published last Saturday’s issue of the Pomona Progress, considered the leading paper of the valley city. The entire regular staff of the Progress was given a holiday .and the reins of the paper turned over to Southern California's budding journalists. Several scoops were gathered in by the rustling reporters delegated for “pick-up" work, and the usual size of the paper was increased by four pages. In addition to this, it is said that all copy was edited and ready for the press at a time well before the dead line limit.
The "field” trip was arranged by Professor Marc N. Goodnow, of the journalism department, and was the fifth taken by members of the Trojan staff this semester.
Assignments for the day were made by Miss Matson, while Holly and Miss Crowley on the desk handled the telegraph news. Dot Davis and Marjorie Hull gleaned the society news, while Paul Churchill edited a worthy sport section.
Chet Mackie, Catherine Potter, Don Pierce and Terrel De Lapp formed the reportorial staff .and collected news from police and city hall headquarters. Grady Setzler and Maud Miller wrote a number of feature stories, and the entire paper was considered by Pomona subscribers as the work of old-time journalists .and not that of students.
According to Professor Goodnow. those field trips give the students of journalism a practical experience that cannot be gained in the class-room, or even on the Trojan staff, and it is hoped to arrange at least two more before the close of the semester.
University of Southern California Band under the leadership of Harold Roberts leaves this morning for its three day annual spring concert tour through Southern California. A thirty five piece ensemble has been selected to make the trip this year.
Leaving the campus this morning, the college musicians will first travel to Santa Ana where they will appear in the first concert of the trip. From Santa Ana they will journey to San Diego where they will remain Monday nigiht. playing three concerts the following day, one at the San Diego High school auditorium .another at the Naval Base Hospital and the third at the San Diego State College. The band will appear at several other towns including Escondido, Riverside. Redlands and Pomona.
The problem of transportation has been solved very efficiently by chartering a fifty passenger stage from the Sweet Auto Tours Company of I-«os Angeles. This will insure ample room for all the men and their instruments. The band members will travel a distance of approximately three hundred miles on their trip this season.
The Southern California Band has established a very favorable reputation throughout the southland because of their entertaining concerts presented during previous years.

Rushing begins today. Not the rushing that usually takes place in the fall and after mid-winter vacation but the rushing for the tickets for the Junior-Senior banquet for May 29. which go on sale today in the Ticket Box in the Associated Student Body Store. As there is a limited number of tickets to be sold, extra clerks will probably be placed on duty to handle the crowd with the utmost efficiency.
The tickets for this years' junior-senior banquet admit one couple, not one person, of which one member must be a junior or senior to a banquet that will be served in the Oakmont Country Club .and a delightful program of dancing ,all for the comparatively small sum of five dollars.
“Just think of the cover charges that you pay at the Green Mill, the Plantation, the Cocoanut Grove or even at Madame Zuccas ,and for just a chicken sandwich or a glass of punch till you leave you have paid at least five dollars counting the waiter's tip. said Ravelle Harrison, chairman of the committee in charge. “And now think of a dinner dance, informal, (so you will save the cost of the usual Tuxedo and the inevitable corsages that eats such holes in your last allowance from father, at the Oakmont Country' Club, located at a pleasurable distance from the city, a Country Club whose cuisine is famous for its delicious food, dancing to a regular college jazz orchestra, and having around you the college friends who mean so much to you. And for just five dollars!”
The date set for this all-University traditional affair is May 29.
Marjorie Rice, class vice-president, who is in charge of the ordering of programs reports that they have been ordered and upon their arrival will exhibit them as an adde dreason why every girl will want to attend. Campus opinion has endorsed the junior prom favors as the most clever seen for a college generation: and the committee has felt perfectly contented to let the choice of the junior-senior banquet programs in the hands of Miss Rice.
None other than Coach Jones, himself, and Mrs. Jones have consented to act as patron and patroness for this event. This is the first time that Coach Jones will have acted in this capacity at this University and it was with difficulty' that the new football mentor was obtained by the committee to act as patron at this occasion. Accompanying Coach and Mrs. Jones in their duties will be Mr. and Mrs. Harold Stonier, and Dean and Mrs. Karl T. Waugh.
