ion
Several outside critics aud authorities who have previewed the Senior Road Show, expressed the opinion that this performance includes talent of remarkably high quality for a university produc lion and declared that many of the acts rival professional performances in action and lines.
The fact is again emphasized that the seat sale opens Thursday morning at eight o’clock and that the best sets don’t remain long on the shelf.
Due to a mistake in the announcement of selections of acts in Monday’s Trojan, the playlet “Dumb” by Miss Nevin Packard wa s omitted from the bill. The Road Show Committee announced that it is especially pleased to present this act which was written and directed entirely by students. Miss Packard has written the play for the act and it is original in presentation, plot and characterization. Included in the cast are such campus notables as Steve Fargo, of “Smilin' Thru'’ fame; Bil Hogue, who played prominent roles in “Clipped,” ‘“The Silver Box, ’ and several other well remembered university productions; Edith Koke, and Nevin Packard. Miss Packard presented two original readings w'hich were very well received, at the First Appoliad Program, held last Tuesday.
MUSICAL NUMBERS
Another act on the Road Show bill which promises several novelties is that of Coy and Behrendt assisted by the Mu Phi Epsilon Trio. These two singers are well known in musical circles throughout California, according to th edirector. Al Behrendt .has also made a name for himself as a whistler. Both of these men have appeared on

Only one short month before setting out to reform the world—this is probably the foremost thought iu the minds of most seniors nowadays. At present, however, this rather important idea is being gently relegated to the background in anticipation of a more immediate event. So tonight, from 7:30 to 9:30. the long-heralded Senior Snap will take place as scheduled at the Theta Sigma Nu house, 2703 Raymond avenue, especially selected for its superior amount of floor space.
The ban on dates need not prevent coeds of the graduating class from venturing forth tonight, since it has been arranged to send machines to the sorority house to transport lair ones to the scene of festivities. As to getting home, Okey Krause says, “The male members of the class will attend in a body.” Nuf sed!
Among those present will be Bud King and his jazz hounds, all of whom promise to do their best to convert the most dignified senior into a mere dancing fooJ. Thirst-quenching punch will also be provided in sufficiently large quantiteis.
This is the last opportunity for the class of ’25 to rally together in a gathering which includes only their august selves .for the juniors are to be invited to the next snap on Ivy Day. Besides, this is to be “the snappiest of all snaps,’’ according to Okey Krause.
Tickets for the affair sell for twenty-five cents, and may be purchased from Helen Green, Martha Smith, Veo Caldwell, Okey Krause, or at the information booth at the Associated Students’ store.
Trojan Women Will Take Charge of Daily on Festival Day
It has been decided that the University of Southern California is going to have at least one edition of the Trojan during the year worthy of being read and approved by every person on the campus—Miss Julia McCorkle, Journalism instructor, included. The edition referred to is the May Day copy w’hich is to be edited by the feminine members of the staff on Friday, May 15.
In connection herewith Mr. Marquis Busby wishes to announce that he refuses to be held responsible for anything found therein on that day. It might be advisable, according to the women members of the staff, to inform him that he isn’t going to be allowed to feel any responsibility whatever.
The paper will be handled entirely by the ladies of the Trojan staff with Marguerite Matson as editor, and Dorothy Crowley as managing editor. Mamie Louise Leung will have charge of the Editorial Department, and Harriet Pearson will handle Exchanges and the World News. Marjorie Hull and Helen Scheurr will act as Sport Editors—a fact, it is rumored, which is causing Lee Conti considerable uneasiness. He isn’t sure whether or not he will have a position on the staff after Friday’s edition.
The Trojan calendar, originated by Marjorie Huli, will be handled by her on Friday. The other women of the staff, including Sarah Johnson of the Metropolitan college, will assist in various other departments.
It has been the universal cry of in

K H J WILL BROADCAST TROJAN BAND NUMBERS
University of Southern California Band Night will be observed tonight at K. H. J, the Los Angeles Times radio broadcasting station. The Trojan land men will go on the air promptly at 7:30, according to Roswell Allison, who is managing the affair. Although the band is at present composed of more than forty-five musicians, only those taking the concert tour last week will play tonight, as the broadcasting studio is not large enough to accommodate more.
The program with which the band will entertain its friends tonight will include many of the numbers played recently at various towns throughout the South. An entertaining feature of the radio concert will be a xylophone solo by John Boudreau, accompanied by the band.
The Trojan bandmen will have the distinction of being the first college band to broadcast over radio this yrear in Southern California.
Roswell Allison has been working in conjunction with Hal Williamson in making all the arrangements for tonight's program, as Williamson has charge of all U. S. C. radio programs at the Times.
Wampus Will Appear on Campus Tomorrow Morning at Eight O’Clock
The Moron’s Number of Tommy j Wampus tomorrow morning at eight o’clock will be snatched fiery red from the asbestos-plated presses especially constructed for this issue and carried in fireproof van to the Trojans who are lucky enough to be on the campus at that hour. Cartoons with a laugh in every square inch of surface, jokes w'hose quippy humor sets a newr vogue in slang and college w’it, and moronic maxims of every type are packed impartially in Wamp’s grab bag.
Mayor Cryer has police reserves scheduled to guard the salesmen from the crushing rush of supplicating purchasers. Every staff contributor has arranged to spend Thursday in the distant mountains until any stupefied student gets over his ambition to sue for libel. Smelling salts and electric fans are available in the President’s suite for such as laugh too heartily and have to be revived.
John Post, versatile artist, has produced a cover which is a darb and will be worth the price of the issue just to hang around the room where all your visitors can eye it. Spring and the increasing modern moronic tendency provided the inspiration for this outburst.
BACHELORS ANNOUNCE
Suspense will also be broken as to the new bachelors for next year and many a fluttering feminine heart will be stimulated or depressed after glancing over the list. Just as the four hundred of New York tell us who leads the social life of that city, so does the bachelor elect indicate who are the shieks of the school—the girls love them but they are immune to all women. No few appeals have been made by present bachelor members for Tommy Wamp to have mercy and not evpose their follies, but Tommp feels his civic duty demands such a scoop, and the worst may be expected. Announcement of the engagement of a prominent bachelor to a popular movie star will also be made if the Burns Detective Agency reports on time.
Politicians and campaign scandals will also feature this issue. All tricks of the trade will be outlined and any

Niese Stresses Importance of Better Understanding on American Continent
Professor Hinny C. Niese of the Spanish department addresed the Tuesday morning assembly on “Our Neighbors to the South.”
For years, Professor Niese was professor of the languages at “Escue-la Moral y Militar,” Mexico City, and was connected wTith banking and business interests in Latin-American countries. At present he claims the distinction of Vice-Consul at Los Angeles for the Republic of Argentina. For this reason, he was adequately capable of instructing his audience.
The University of Southern Califor-nit language courses, Spanish in particular, were recommended by the speaker, who said that a better understanding of Latin-America could only be gained by learning the language.
Professor Niese said that our own president, Dr. Von Kleinsmid realized this fact and gave it his sanction by attending the third annual Scientific Conference several months ago.
In closing Protessor Niese added: “I love the whole world, but I love the j continent of America better than the I rest of the world. In a continental j sense, we are all Americans and should feel a sense of unity. There j should be no suspicious attitude. In 1 former years our neighbors to the j south were neglected, but now what happens in Washington ,D. C., is published in Buenos Aires ten minutes later. The radio is also doing much to unify. In les than five years a great change will take place. We will all be American brothers in ideas, thoughts and understanding.”
After describing the marvelous progress in Colombia in recent years. Professor Niese introduced the Hernandez brothers, who with three guitars, rendered a message in the universal language, music. Their numbers were classical in character. One of the musicians played upon a saw with a violin bow. while the other two accompanied him with guitars.
A choral class from the college of music sang two numbers and Professor Bruce Baxter read from the seventh chapter of Matthews.
Reverting back to the tradition of ancient Troy, where the physical development of the body formed one of the most important concerns of the nation, Tuesday, May 19, will be given over to the honoring of Good Posture Day. Plans are going ahead rapidly under the direction of Dr. Alice Goetz and the class of Health Supervision, with various departments co-operating.
Prizes are to be given for the posture posters drawn by the men and women’s Hygiene classes. The judges are to select the prize-winning posters on the basis of the artistry, trueness to the subject, and the effectiveness of the drawing. The prizes to be given have not yet been announced. Throughout the day these posters will be placed on display, probably in the president’s parlors.
Besides the posters of the Hygiene classes, there are to be others drawn by students of the Home Economics Department in Miss York’s classes. The Home Economics Department is co operating with the Physical Education Department in making these posters to show' the relationship of food I to health.
Tuesday’s chapel exercises are to be conducted in conjunction with the Posture Day idea. Miss Matherson’s dancing classes are busily engaged in preparing numbers for the program 1 which they will present at that time. Professor Nichols is in charge of the men’s contribution to the program, and it is expected that his classes will | contribute a vigorous number.
U. S. C. has become known for its success in posture work, having been a pioneer in this field of Physical Edu-! cation activity.
Office Seekers Talk to Pharmacy Students at Meeting Yesterday
Steady political barrages are being laid down to cover the movements of the Southern California political army between now and the zero hour which is scheduled to take place in chapel on Friday when various aspirants will receive and accept nominations for the thrones on which they wish to perch next year.
Disappointment may be in store for some candidates when they meet in Ned Lewis’ office today at noon for a conference together. Each candidate’s standing in studies has been checked, it is said. Reports on the finding of the eligibility committee wdll probably be given out today. In past elections it is stated that some candidates are usually found to be lacking in qualifications set down by the election committee.
It is the opinion of many who have witnessed past elections that the two days which remain before the nominating speeches will be filled full of more campaigning than any other time. They base their opinion on the fact that decisions are usually clinched at the nominating speeches, and the candidates and their managers want to tie up as many votes as possible before this event takes place.
SPEAK AT PHARMACY
All candidates spoke to the students in the College of Pharmacy yesterday. The meeting was marked by applause as the various politicians set forth their intentions. From the high ideals that characterized most of the talks, next year’s office holders will probably be the “world’s most efficient.” It is said that more meetings are being planned for those in the political race to set forth their platform.
From what can be gathered on the campus in the way of observation and comment, candidates are speaking to everyone and handshaking is a close runner-up. The predicted cigarettes have not made their debut, however; but some politician may burst out with free vanity cases or cord tires to distribute on election day. Political stogies J*ave been in evidence at Law School already, it is said.
It has already been decided that the host which is running for the eight positions on the Executive Committee will not have to have nominators. They will be introduced from the platform, however. This measure was taken because of the number who are running lor places on the committee. It is officially stated that the candidates for Trojan Editor will not have to accept the nomination, but will be given time to let their nominators talk for them.

CLUB DIVIDED IN SECTIONAL GAME
History and Political Science Club Play Ball at Picnic Friday
A sectionary, pep raising ball game between the History and the Political Science Department is to feature the big party which the History and Political Science Club is giving on Friday afternoon. May 22, at the Pacific Palicades. With professors Gilliland and Vandegrift starring on the history team, and professors Malcolm, and Harley, defending the Political Science honors, the event is expected to be a sure-fire thriller, with the Department, supremacy at stake.
Because of various conflicts the date of the picnic was changed from Wednesday May 20, to Friday May 22. After visiting several beaches the Pacific Palisades was selected as the most fitting place to hold the annual outing. Swimming, ball-playing, eat-ing‘, and merry-making around a huge bon-fire, are to make up the program of the day with other divertisements thrown in incidentally.
A list has been posted outside the History office where those wishing to go may sign up. Seventy-five cents apiece is being charged.
