WGROUP OF OFFICERS CHOSEN IN CLASS VOTING
Class Elections Promise to Rival Recent Student Body In Interest
Following a week ol heated campaigning on the parts of thoir respective managers, the several candidates lor next year’s class officers will go to “trial” this morning, when elections will be held. Each class will meet in fts respective place, and, it is said, lections will be strictly by ballot. Today's elections promise to almost ival those of last week when student ody officers were chosen, as a number of candidates have thrown their (iats into the political class ring.
Ellsworth Ross and Ronald Stever ’ere nominated for the presidency of he 1925-1926 Seniors. Mr. Ross, as university manager of dramatics dur-ng the past year, is said to have established himself as an executive. As t reward for his qualities of leadership, he has been honored with membership in Sigma Sigma and Skull and Dagger honor societies. Mr. Stever has distinguished himself on the athletic field, having won a letter in track. Ronald is at present in Philadelphia with the Trojan squad, competing in the I. C. 4-A. games.
Kay Potter and Clare Hauler have been nominated as possibilities for vice-president, while Adele Hertel and I>ot Davis are in the race for the secretarial duties. Moman Baber was the sole noxninee for treasurer, and therefore is the unanimous choice for that position.
In a campaign even more heated than in the Junior class, the present Sophomores will decide next year’s Junior president from one of three candidates. Arthur Syverston, Bill Friend and Bob Lee are in the running, and, judging from all reports, chances for election are being shared by the trio. Mr. Syverston has distinguished himself in debating and oratory, and is said to be well qualified for the office. Both Lee and Friend have confined most of their activities to athletics, both having won football sweaters.
Panline Klene, Eloene Truitt and Rosalind Williamson were selected to run for vice-president, and representatives of each have been working hard during the past week, making the outcome unknown until the final vote has been counted. Dixie Wheatly is the only candidate for secretary, while W’illard Brown, Dick Olsen, Bernard and Jack Turnbull are aspirants for the position of treasurer. Due to an error in previous notations of class nominations, the names of Pauline Klene and W’illard Brown were left out, but both claim that they are hot in the race for their respective positions, and that their names will appear on the ballot.
Last but not least come the present Freshmen. Three men have been nominated for the presidency. Henry

Yale University is distinguished by being the first to inaugurate a system among the alumni of that institution lor financial assistance in problems connected with university, life. The system bids fair to become one of the most popular organizations among uni-
Ten P.M. in the Times Press Room, the men are going through the routine of putting the paper “to bed.” A signal is given—a switch is turned, and the giant press is in operation. It moves slowly at first—then goes into full speed, turning out 22,000 copies an hour. But what is routine to the pressman is a novelty to the group of U. S. C. journalism students who, under the guidance of Miss Julia Norton McCorkle, U. S. C. journalism instructor and one of the departmental editors of the Times, made a tour of the entire plant Tuesday evening.
The editorial rooms were visited first, and the positions of the staff members pointed out. It was hard to tell whether the students showed more interest in the reporters who were hastily typing to beat the deadline—
oii6 V6cir
or the reporters, who managed to takef ^ ' notice of the novices, and seemed amused at their greenness.
Students watch the various artists who, unconcerned by their watchers, go on with their sketching. The men in the sport department, are the center of greatest interest and discuss the prospects of the Philadelphia meet.
The next point on the tour is the “morgue,” in which information concerning every one of any importance in the country is tabulated. It is said to be one of the most complete in the west,, despite the fact that it has only

Bridge, Dance and Tea at Zeta Tau Alpha

PHI KAPPA PHI SEIS INITIATION JUNE 13
JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET TO-NIGHT AT OAKMONT CLUB
Only a Few Tickets Are Left: Unique Idea is Incorporated In Punch
Honorary Key Awarded Scholars From All University Colleges

The program was first considered been jn existence since the rebuilding by Yale University thirty-five years | of the Times.
ago and was put into practice by a group of alumni men who realized the need of a reserve fund which could be used without restriction in any department of the un5versity at any time. The organization at Yale has built up the fund over a period of thirty-five years until their contributors now total ten thousand. The custom has rapidly become popular in other large universities, and the title “Loyalty Fund” is the name given to these donations. The plan operates thus:
Each year the Alumni Associations reach every alumnus through a committee appointed for that purpose, and urges them to become contributors to the alumni Loyalty Fund. The plan is now in successful operation in many of the larger institutions.
This year a plan has been tormu-lated whereby the graduating class is to be asked to become subscribers to the fund. Five dollars is the amount asked of each senior, and this sum is to cover alumni dues for one year and will also provide for one year’s subscription to the Southern California Illustrated News. So Iar Law and Dental have gone over one hundred percent. It is expected that the other colleges will not be far behind. The slogan seems to be. "Don't do your bit, but do your best.”
SPEECH TO GIVE SCENES Trojan Knights to Be
The etching and engraving departments are visited and the processes explained in detail to the students. The class was inveigled into the photography room, where a staff photographer “shot” the group.
The composing and linotype department was the next point of interest. Here the students watched the men make up the pages—make the stereotypes and cast the forms. Despite the intense heat in this room, this work seemed to be watched with the greatest interest. One minute the watchers saw a tray of newly set slugs— the next minute they saw the impression from the oven—newly baked and hot. Molten lead is dipped from the oven and poured into the forms, where it is molded.
The linotype men demonstrated their work to the neophytes. The machines, w’hich are operated in a manner similar to a typewriter, cast a line of type at a time.
As it is nearing press time, the class adjourned to the pressroom and watched the men get the machin ery ready for operation.
The Delta Sigma Rho pledges who j are to be presented keys are Adna 1 Leonard, Sam Gates, Leland Tallman. Arthur Syverston. and Manuel Ruiz.
•Adna Leonard .who will receive the 1924 trophy, last year defeated Arthur J Syverston, Manuel Ruiz, and Harry I Cohen. The subject was on the can- ! didates for the president of the United States.
Bill Henley and Paul Cunningham will uphold the negative in the affair tomorrow while Stanley Hopper and George Lewis will compose the affirmative team. Speeches will be limited to six minutes constructive argument and four minutes rebuttal for each man, making the debate approximately forty five minutes in length.
Ray Brennan, manager of the contest, states that indications point to to-morrow’s event as probably being one of the most interesting of any rally program which has been presented. 1 during the past few months.
It is reported from the registrar's j office that over five hundred students will have to attend all three of the remaining student assemblies in order to have turned in the required number of attendance cards.
COMITA ENTERTAINS CLIONIAN
There occurred a joint literary meet-; ing of Comitia and Clionian Literary Societies at the Y Hut last Tuesday. At the end of the program, on which both societies were represented. Comitia entertained Clionian with a theatre party.
COMITIA LITERARY SOCIETY
The last regular meeting of Comitia will be held next Tuesday. June 2, and j for purpose of installing the elected officers for next semester.
FROM CURRENT PLAYS
Putting on its last public performance of the semester, Miss Florence Hubbard’s advanced class in dramatics will present a program of four scenes from modern plays in t*iie Touchstone Theatre Monday afternoon. The program will start at 3:15 o’clock.
Harry Hall will play opposite Helen Humiston in a sketch from “Rain,” a play that has been playing steadily for several years in New York, and has never been put on out here on the Coast. Miss Humiston is seen in a role that is absolutely new for her, that of Sadie Thompson.
Franklin Murrel is said to rival Glenn Hunter with his interpretation of llerton in a scene from “Merton of tbe Movies.” Murrel is supported by Helen Dillon, in the role of the pasting director, and Genevieve Mulli-pon is at her best in the character as “The Girl.”
Eddie Blaine and Kate McNenny are featured in a scene from ‘‘You and I.” a play with a “Clipped Wings” plot. A scene from “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary,” has Harriet Pearson and John Parsons.
Admission will be free to this performance, and all students are cordially invited to the Touchstone Theatre to wtiness the production.

PHARMACY SCHOOL HOLDS ELECTIONS
Lindmoe Was Elected President. Newcomb Treasurer. Neeley Publicity Man
With campaigning as keen as that evidenced at the general elections, Pharmacy College held elections on May 27.
Perhaps the unusual leaturt of Pharmacy election lies in the fact that no get-out-the-vote movement was necessary to secure a hundred per cent turnout at the polls. Every one entitled to a ballot was out early and put in his score for his favorite for each position.
Monty Lindmoe and Fred Nash were the men who aspired to the presidency of Pharmacy College for the coming semester. When the last vote was counted Monty Lindmoe had 133 tallies to 92 for Fred Nash.
Guardianship of the college’s exchequer was sought by George Newcomb and Bill Cohen. After a very close contest George Newcomb won by a bare majority of 10 since the last totals showed 83 votes for Newcomb and 73 crosses for Cohen.
Publicity for the college will be taken care of through a special representative on the Daily Trojan staff nert year. Russ Neeley and Crosby ran for this position and Russ Neeley was elected.
Records and correspondence will be handled by Miss Myra Martin, who (Continued on Page 8)

“Hey, Buddie, have you seen Revelle Harrison? I hear there are only eleven tickets left for the Junior-Senior banquet tonight at the Oakmont Country Club, and I simply^have to see him and get oue before they’re all gone."
The popular Junior went on shoving his way through the usual Friday morning jam in front of Bovard Auditorium.
“Wait a minute,-’ said the Freshman called Buddie. “Ravvie is always out in front here at this table. Gee! you should have seen the mob around him at nine o’clock this morning. I'll tell the wide- wide world those eleven tickets are going fats!”
“Where the table? Where’s he now ? " queried the Junior, shoving his wav back. “Well, here's the table, anyway. I’ll wait. I’ll take no chances on coming back later. Arabella’s gonna give my pin back unless I get a ticket for this dinner dance. Didn't think it was gonne be such a swell affair, but I didn’t know all about it,’" he continued, addressing no one in particular and everyone in general “Say,” he burst out, grabbing a well known S. A. E. by the sleeve, “have jou heard about the punch ? No? Well, it’s the keenest ever. Ellsworth Ross, that little fellow that keeps Ln ! such close contact with the faculty I and has so many activities, got the great idea. Lissen! The punch is to ! be cardinal and the ice will be a big golden block in the center of the bowl, j and frozen in the ice are to be the ; words ‘Junior-Senior Banquet.’ No fruit? Why, of course. Punch without fruit is either lemonade or Coca-Cola. Don't you remember that ’26-has always had a reputation for peppy punch, ever since its Sophomore days?
“There’s Ravvie now". Rawie, I want one of those tickets. Few left? That’s nothing new. I heard that yes-| terday. Who's on the committee?” “The committee is composed of Ronald Snavely, class president; Marjorie Rice, class vice-president; Ronald Stever, Clare Kaufer, Momen Baber, Ellsworth Ross and yours truly,” replied Revelle Harrison. “I’ve never seen tickets go so fast. They are in (CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT)
CATALINA CHOSEN FOR Y.M. FALL CONFERENCE
Special Troian Rate For Graduating Class
Making a special price on subscriptions to the Daily Trojan, the business office announced today that all graduating students may now order their college daily for $3.50 a year at the information booth in the Students Store.
According to the business office this is a special rate for a year’s subscription to the Trojan as the regular price is $4.00 annually. The Trojan will be sent anywhere in the United States for the same price.
Seniors wishing to take advantage of this special rate may make their subscription now at the student store.
More than 4.000 eggs, of varying degrees of freshness, were hurled in a University of Wisconsin student war, recently indulged in by the lawyers and engineers
Plans for the fail session were discussed at the meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet at 4:30 p .m. Wednesday afternoon. May 27th. before the regular weekly Council dinner at the Hut. Stan McKee presided and tentative arrangements were made for the fall conference at Catalina Island on September 11th, 12th and 13th.
Fifty students turned out for the dinner and Wesley Beans sang three of the latest popular songs. Dr. W. O. Brown spoke'on “While Going to Col lege.” Special stress was placed upon the possibility of developing and educating of one’s personality and learning to appreciate the finer things of life at the same time that students are getting intellectual training. As each undergraduate gets farther alon=: in school commencement ceases to mean the start of his active life and cessation of his mental broadening. Instead, commencement acquires a new significance in that it is only the beginning of an individual struggle in the world and getting into the real action of life so that one realizes then how much there was to learn and how-little was known.
Reservations should be made before Monday if anyone is planning to attend next week’s dinner as at least 17f» guests are expected and the late comers may be disappointed. Student body officers of this year and next year, all present or newly elected members of the executive committee, presidents of all sororities and fraternities, and the leading officers of every single student organization have been invited to the dinner to be given Wednesday evening, June 3rd Cultivation of a new fellowship and mutual cooperation is the object of this dinner and plans are to be suggested for a new unity on the campus.
