Program, Luncheon and a Reception Flanned For Mothers
‘ Mother’s Day” is to be inaugurated as a tradition of U. S. C. on the fifteenth of this month, acording to the program announced by the cabinet of the U. Y. Council. On this date Mother’s Day is celebrated all over the nation and it is the intention of the Council to devote special attention to it on this campus and make it an annual tradition.
The program for the day has been outlined as follows: Every man in the University is invited to invite his mother to visit the campus on that day. Following the chapel there will be a luncheon served at Exposition
Park by the A. W. S. After this the guests will be shown around the campus and entertained at a reception in the University parlors. Mrs. von KleinSmid and the Women’s Club will be hostesses at this* tea. In the evening the mothers are to be the guests of the U. Y. Council at their regular weekly meeting. This meeting has been changed from Wednesday night to Thursday for that week in order that the chapel program may be included in the day’s activities.
The purpose of Mother’s Day is two-fold. It is planned to pay honor to the “mothers of men’’ and to give the mothers a chance to get a glimpse of University campus activity. Gid-ding Slater and Wesley Beans are the committee in charge of the general plans.

SLR VICE DRIVE BRINGS IN MANY SUBCRIBERS
Thirteen hundred dollars weve subscribed in( the Service Campaign held last week on the campus “to keep Harris in China.” Although $2000 was the aim of the executive committee, more individual subscriptions were received from the students than in any other previous campaign.
The Sophomore Executive Committee team lead in the contests among the various campaigners. Teams represented the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the Student Volunteer Committee and many of them were captained by prominent students on the campus. AH day Wednesday and Thursday the workers used their efforts to bring the drive over the top.
Following is a communication from Lester Heineman, member of the Executive Committee and head of the campaign.
1 As chairman of the Service Campaign Committee, I wisb to thank the Student Body for its co-operation in helping to raise funds to “keep the Trojan in China.’ Especially do I appreciate the aid of the committee composed of Helen Morton Hall, Arthur Wahlquist, Geo. Jordon. Roy Waggoner, W’orth Colemap, Helen Green, Barton Hutchins, Ethel Oliver, Mary Langdon, Maud Stavely, Cathernie Bennett, and Margaret Clarey. Also I extend special appreciation to the College of Dentistry for their hearty co-operation. And, I wish to remind you, fellow Trojans, that the next big job we must face is to pay our pledges that we made during the drive, to the Associated Students of U. S. C. These may be paid to the A. S B. office in the Journalism Building.

SECOND ANNIVERSARY
In Two Years U.S.C. Has Had Remarkable Development: Campus Now 22 Acres
Marjorie Thomas Stars
In Musical Production
By AL TACHET
"The Spring Maid,” a light opera in two acts, was presented in the Bovard Auditorium last Thursday night by the combined Men’s and Womens Glee Clubs of the University of Southern California.
1 ROJAN BAND, WHICH GIVES CONCERT TODAY
In many ways it was an interesting production, and showed marked progress over ‘‘The Necklace,” the last comic opera to be presented at U. S. C. It was both a decidedly better play and a better production. The orchestra and scenic effects too were much superior.
Marjorie Thomas appeared in the leading role, and she was unquestionably the outstanding performer of the whole cast. Miss Thomas has an attractive personality, a pleasing voice, and a charming, vivacious spirit. She dominated the production much like a professional star.
Archie McGee, as Roland, tha famous English tragedian, scored a decided sucess. He played a low comedy role without overdoing it. As a comedian he ranks among the best who have ever appeared on the Bovard stage.
Another whose w'ork was outstanding was Rosalind Williamson, pre-
.With the manifold duties of attending the installation of President Elliot of Purdue University, the securing of additional faculty, investigation of new building equipment, perfection of arrangements for granting Dorter of Philosophy in U. S. C. ,establishment of the metropolitan division of the School of Commerce and Business Administration, and speaking before numerous important conferences, President Rufus B. von KleinSmid might well be called the very busy Trojan in the East.
A telegram came yesterday from Washington, D. C., to H. J. Stonier, secretary to the president, stating that on May 2 “prexy” was a luncheon guest of the Latin-American Diplomatic Corps at the British Embassy. Washington. Friday noon, he attended a conference in New York City of the deans of the American colleges of commerce, and schools of business administration, representing both divisions of commerce in U. S. C.
From New York the president plans to go the annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Springfield. Massachusetts, and will probably represent U. S. C- there throuhout the rest of May, returning to the campus by June 1, several weeks before Commencement.
The event of the departure of the president for important eastern conferences marked the second anniversary of his inauguration as head of the University of Southern California.
In his two years administration, the Trojan insttution his organized the most efficient extension division of the coast, with an enrollment of 6000, launched a building progra mof ten | million dollars, raised the scholarship standards, changed the colleges to the
With the presentation of the annual Senior Road Show tomorrow, the
Class of 1924 will launch what promises to be the most crowded, and successful programs of commencement events on record.
Another Senior Snap is scheduled as an appropriate follow-up of the Road Show and will be the fourth on a program of seven similar events.
The most elaborate and formal affair of the whirl comes on the sixteenth of May when seniors will be guests of the Junior class at the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet. New plans are being made for the affair and it is probable that no charges will be made to seniors who attend. It is expected that the banquet will be one of the chief topics of discussion at the meetings of the upper classes Thursday morning.
The memorial solemnity of Ivy day fol ows close and precedes the June event of the Senior-Faculty game when the pick of the U. S. C- faculty will meet the senior class baseball team. Lynn Robb has charge of this event and states that it will be held during the week of commencement.
Senior chapel has been set for June 5. This will probably be the last time the seniors will form an academic procession before commencement week.
In the final week of the year, Baccalaureate Sunday and Commencement will fill the bill. For the first time in the history. Baccalaureate and Commencement will be held in the huge Los Angeles Coliseum, affording an opportunity to make the ceremonies doubly impressive. On the evening of Commencement, the Seniors will attend the annual Alumni banquet.
Elaborate p’ans are being made by the Juniors who will have charge of decorations and ushering and by the various committees in charge. The entrance will be made from the east end and seven hundred and fifty gowned seniors will march the entire length of the green. Amplifiers will be installed and radio equipment will be on hand to insure the broadcasting of the program.
“Dusty” Rhodes has been placed in charge of arrangements for the Sunday’s program and Les Heineman will be responsible for the success of Commencement.

Appearing as “B” comes Virginia Thompson and William Collins in ‘‘Spanish Bits” which is an interpretation of the tango. Those who love grace and beautiful dancing should derive a great deal of enjoyment from this act.
Impersonating Bert Savoy’s act of the “Greenwich Village Follies,” Carlton Moorehouse will make his debut with Charley Reager in “Artists Studio’ as the third entertainment.
I nthis brief sketch Morehouse and Reager snatch the onlooker from his seat ih the auditorium and take him to the New York “Greenwich Follies.”
