Heretofore, $4 apiece has been the usual price asked for similiar Junior-Senior banquets, and frequently the price rose above that limit.

SOFT SHOE DANCERS, BOOKED FOR ROAD SHOW
Harry Hall and Glenn Cook, popular University of Southern California soft shoe dancers, have been booked for an act that promises to be one of the high lights of the Senior Road Show according to Ray MacDonald, member of the Road Show committee. It has taken a great deal of time and trouble to secure these dancers, as they are dancing professionally and are under contract every week. It is due to the courtesy of their managers and the fact that the dancers are willing to co-operate for this university entertainment. that they will appear on. the bill.
Frank Murrel is to accompany the dancer sat the piano. Hall is the best known dancer in U. S. C. and has claimed attention all over Lot Angeles in the lines of koft-shoe, clog, etc., dancing. He has also made a name for himself as an actor, and makes a specialty of interpreting various characters with his dancing. He played the part of the wayward son in the “Silver Box.”
Five acts have been definitely selected out of the seventeen tried out. Three or four more are to be chosen early this week to fill the vaudeville bill. The committee which is composed of Gertrude Street. Ray MacDonald. Vivian Meade, Terrence Keiser and John Woods, is taking every effort to select only acts which will supply the "biggest kick" to the circital college audience. “Meaner and Faster"
to be the key note of this year’s Road Show.
Ellsworth Ross, manager of university production, will soon announce plans for the seat sale.
With all details and plans for the coming Frosh dance, to be held next Frir’r.v night at the basketball pavilion. fully completed, members of the social committee are now confining their efforts to the sale of the admission pasteboards, which are going fast at $1.00 per couple. Latest reports show that the demands for tickets has kept those selling them busy making change, while, the booth in the
student’s Store has disposed of a goodly number.
According to Dot Moore, vice-president of the Freshman class, and at the head of the social committee sponsoring the dance, nothing is being overlooked to make this one of the most pleasing of the class dances given this year.
‘‘We have secured the famous Lake Arrowhead Orchestra.” says Dot, “and those who have heard this group of syncopators all speak well for their high brand of dance music. As the orchestra is composed entirely of campus men, it makes the dance strictly a university affair.”
Rumors of a dancing contest, ‘in which a handsome and valuable prize will be given,’ were cast to the four winds by Miss Moore yesterday, in an interview. “It would be impossible to stage a contest, provide all the other features planned, and at the same time keep the admission price down to $1.00. The surplus money, after securing the orchestra, is being used for decorations, and we promise something new in this line.”
Working with Miss Moore on the t decorations is Gordon Crane, and it is said that the pavilion will be transferred from a maze of bleacher seats to a veritable garden of greenery.
Members of the social commitee include, in addition to Miss Moore and Mr. Crane, Hank Rohr, director of publicity. Carl Plate, Burdett Henney, George Lewis Ray Hatfield, Carl Plate, Paul Elmquist, and Martha Wiggett. Tickets for the dance can be obtained from any of these, or whom th"1 Student’s Store.
FAZEL SPEAKS ON UNIVERSAL PEACE
Persian Philosopher Will Be Chapel Speaker On New Thought
Professor Jenabe Fazel, one of the most progressive thinkers of modern Persia, a philosopher of deep insight, and a lecturer of rare ability will speak to the chapel assembly today.
Early in his career, after resigning the chair of logic and jurisprudence in King’s Mother College, at Teheran, Professor Fazel wras the object of bitter persecuiton for his advanced views. His ideas were branded as heretical, and for a time he was imprisoned because of his disagreements with the more orthodox thinkers.
From the cloister of a dogmatic Oriental institution he went out into the world and became an advocate of the Newr Social anod Religious Philosophy which has stirred the East to its very foundations during recent decades.
As a traveller and a teacher in both East and West, Professor Fazel has gained a clear grasp of the intel-lectural and spiritual needs of both hemispheres. The object of his present tour of the United States is to promote universal brotherhood, universal peace, and the abolition of all prejudices in religion, education, and economic relations between the countries of the w'orld.
Tomorrw’s chapel exercises will include an address by Professor Fazel. a Mother’s Day program being arranged by Professor Baxter, and music appropriate for the occasion which is being arranged by Professor Coggs-well of the College of Music.

“The contributions for the first annual effort have been many,” said Miss Tacie Mae Hanna, who is in charge of the program. "All the work is commendable, and all those who are interested in creative work should be sure to attend, so that they may learn of the ideals for which Apolliad stands. We hope to have many more representative works on the program next year .and to accomplish this it is urged that all talented students should do some creative writing during the coming summer.”
