An important step in fraternity development in U. S. C. will be taken about the middle of May, when the International fraternity, Delta Signia Phi will install the petitioning local fraternity, Alpha Psi, as its Alpha Phi Chapter.
The charter to be granted to the Alpha Psi Fraternity is the fourty-fllth charter to be issued by the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity to groups in colleges of the United States and Canada. The Alpha Phi Chapter will constitute the fourtieth active chapter of the Fraternity
Attention of Delta Sigma Phi was first drawn to Southern California throught the interest of a national official who is a resident of Los Angeles, and a member of the Los Angeles Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Phi. The fraternity has a roster of twenty alumnae chapters in important cities throughout the. United States, and maintains its headquarters in Washington, D. C., where its official journals, “The Carnation.” and “The Sphinx,” are published and other governmental and publication matters are regulated.
Delta Sigma Phi was founded December 10, 1S99 by a group of young men and professors in the College of the City of New York whose associations and interests had been friendly since 1885. Mr. John C. Harris, chairman of the Democratic State Committee in Texas, and a prominent attorney of Dallas, Texas is the National President of the Fraternity.
Alpha Phi will be the first chapter to be installed on the Coast since 1915, when the Hilgard Chapter wyas installed at Berkeley. The fraternity contemplates the early installation of several more chapters in Pacific Coast where locals are now' petitioning.
The installation ceremonies', will be elaborate, extending over a period of four days, and will be attended by National Officers, Alumnae, and members of the fraternity from all parts of the United States.

MISS HANNA ANNOUNCES
Mother’s Eats Once More ^'rmLlm ™GRMI
No more boarding-house hash for i younger brothers and sisters will be
feakfast; no more of Bill's hot dogs r lunch (no offence meant); no more ring beans, mutton, and boiled cab-Lge for dinner—vacation week is ire!
[One student was laboriously com-ling a list iu the library yesterday pich instead of a term paper bibliog-Iphv, as mught have been expected its a list of favorite dishes to be pre-Inted to mother at the earliest op-
M'! unity.
(“Isn’t that what vacation’s for?” he ‘manded in an agrieved tone. “That
stilled in admiration as the college student recounts his glorious conquests in clia%s-room and society.
Plans for vacation are many and varied. Frivolous-minded students plan Si round of continual gayety to wake up the old home-town. More serious minded individuals are content to pass this Lenten week in well earned, much needed rest, and quiet meditation.
Miss Co-ed’s eyes sparkle as she plans in detail the elaborate spring outfit she will bring back to the cam-
k at our frat house is the bunk, pus and that stunning georgette ensemble that will startle the churcli-fathers on Easter morning.
Mr. Bored Stude has no definite plans. Sleeping and eating are the most important events on his program unless it might be the little girl next door who has suddenly grown up and showed remarkable possibilities at Christmas time.
Of course the professor who believes vacation a time to pick up the loose threads, we have always with us. But why worry! Not even the depressing shadows of term papers and collateral shall spoil this one perfect week.
And then to add a fitting climax to the week, all the nice little boys and girls are happy in the knowledge that the Easter bunny will surely leave them his offering, if only they are good.
j a regular living skeleton—but just ait till I get home. Boy, oh, boy! j>w I will eat!”
So say they all. The dainty femin-ie fluffs that go chirping about the ampus, looking as if they lived on strawberry and half a pea. do not ixpress themselves in such plebian ashion. However, according to that auch quoted authority, the campus sheik, even they are known to have appetites on occasion.
And so all the nice little boys and rirls have their traveling bags pack'd and are just waiting for classes to ?nd so that they can dash for the rain and tonight, or maybe not till omorrow night, mother will be heap-ng their plates with good things. Dad fill already have snapped off two but-ons from his vest through pride, and
Work on the Apolliad is progressing so well that production will be possible a few weeks after spring vacation, according to Miss Tacie May Hanna, of the School of Speech.
Three short stories were chosen from a number of manuscripts submitted; these will be interpreted by students of the School pf Speech. Three short sketches are also included in the program for presentation. The best poems have been selected and are *now being put to music composed by students in the college of music.
Only two plays were submitted. One was written by a student at the Metropolitan College and is to be produced by the drama class of the downtown school. The other has not yet been cast.
Announcement of the names of the fortunate writers whose work is to be presented at the Apolliad will not be made until after vacation, since there is a possibility that some changes will be made.
Professor Charles W. Lawrence. Head of Civil Engineering at Southern California, died at his home at 1546 Fourth Avenue in this city, Wednesday afternoon, after an illness of a month. He was fifty-two years old.
Funeral services will be held in Old Chapel at two o'clock tomorrow, according to an announcement made by Professor R. M. Cook. Civil Engineering instructor and close friend of Professor Lawrence.
For fourteen years Professor Lawrence has been an instructor in this university. He came here in 1906 from Millikan University at Decatur, Illinois, where he taught Civil Engineering for four years. Through his efforts the Engineering Department at Southern California has developed into one of the leaders of its type, it is said.
Having just returned from Sabbatical leave, a leave of one semester granted to Professors every seven years, Professor Lawrence was able to teach only a part of the present semester before his illness forced him to give up his duties. Although his condition previous to his final illness was looked upon by members of his family and by his physician as being critical, his sudden death was a surprise to everyone.
Professor Lawrence was born in Lawrrence county, Pennsylvania, in 1872. He took his Civil Engineering work at Pennsylvania State College, graduating from there in 1897. He returned to his Alma Mater to receive his Masters Degree in 1904. He also spent two years as an instructor at Pennsylvania State, as well as the four years at Millikan University.
Besides the years he spent in Civil Engineering instruction, Professor Lawrence spent a total of five years in commercial engineering firms. He worked as designing engineer for an iron woks, and one year with a bridge construction company. It is said that these years of engineering experienc* contributed to make him one of the most effective and practical instructors at Southern California.
Not only was Professor Lawrence Vice-President and a director of the Los Angeles Chapter of American Association of Engineers, but w'as a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers; member of the Society For Promotion of Engineering Education; a member of Chi Epsilon. National Honorary Civil Engineering fraternity; and a faculty member of Theta Sigma Nu, local social fraternity.
In speaking of Professor Lawrence, Professor Cook said, “Engineering students at Southern California have lost the greatest helper and friend that they have ever had in their course here. Professor Lawrence, through his efforts has given to them a Civil Engineering course that they may well be proud to graduate from, and one that prepares them well for their life work. He was a real man besides being an able professor and organizer. His memory will remain with all who have known him as a man who was a friend of all. and who gave his life to teaching men who would become builders, in this way contributing to real construction far more that even he himself realized.”
Press Club Members Should Order Picture
Members of the University of Southern California Press Club who have not ordered a cut for the El Rodeo page are urged to do so today without fail. At the last meeting of the club at the Vanity Fair Tea Room on March 24 it was voted to have individual pictures instead of a group picture.
The next meeting of the Press Club is being planned for April 28 and the place and name of the speaker will be announced immediately after the Easter vacation. Effort is being made to obtain Alma Whitaker, feature writer of the Los Angeles Times. A picnic is being planned for this month and arrangements are now being niRde by Kay Potter and Chet Mackie.

Many Yells Submitted In $100 Yell Contest
HOCKEY GAME TODAY
Becase of a misunderstanding between the two teams, there was no hockey game played yesterday between the Junior and Senior women. Instead a game was scheduled for Friday between a combined Junior and Senior team and the Freshman team. The Freshman were victorious last Tuesday in their game with the Sophomores and were to have played the winner of the Junior-Senior game
The yell contesL put on to promote more and better yells for the university, ended at four o’clock. According to Sam Gates, who is managing the contest, numerous yells have been turned in among which there are sure to be some attractive and original yells.
The judges of the contest have been chosen and they will by a double process of elimination select the yell which is most suited to represent the university. It will take some time for the judges to decide just who is the winner of the one hundred dollar cash prize will be, and further announcement relative to this will be made later.
the Y. M. C. A. Over thirty men have already signed up and the list will probably swell to forty before the first entrainment leaves for camp at 3:00 this afternoon.
The destination is Switzer’s camp in the beautiful Arroyo Secco mountains, it is reached by automobile or P. E. train to Pasadena. Lincoln Avenue is followed by machine or street car, until the road separates leading to Camp Oak Wvlde. From here on, the rest of the journey is made on foot (heel express )seven miles up a winding trail to Switzer’s.
The trip which will extend from Friday evening to Sunday evening can be made by students who have arranged other plans for the Easter vacation since they can return to the city Sunday.
Between meetings and meals, the boys will spend the time in long hikes into the surrounding country. A kodak in time will save nine (hours of telling all about how it happened.) Cabins have been reserved for the fellows to “live” in while awray on their journey.
Probably the greatest drawing card to this retreat is the fact that practically all of the fellows who went last time don’t intend to miss this great chance. The boys had a wonderful time in those mountains, singing, playing hiking, and eating all day long. Some of them are planning to overdo it this time.
Those already signed up at the hut include: Alden Hovey, Dick Sorick, LeRoy Rundell, Stanley S. McKee, Philip Yalley. Crawford Peck, W'illard A. Schurr, William H. Montague, J. D. Ewan, H. F. Butters, Barnett S Ely, Don Cock, Hesley P. Beans, John E.
The program for the week-end calls LLyng, B. N. Max, Leland Tallman, for a general meeting at which time Harold Blackman, Hobart Laden, Glen
activities for the rest of the semester will be outlined. The newly elected Y officers will be in charge of the outing. Important conference sessions will take place Friday ^nd Saturday evenings, and .Saturday and Sunday
