W. S. NOMINEES CHOSEN ON FRIDAY
Second Co-ed Assembly is Given Over to A. W. S. Affairs
Nominations for the offices of the Associated Women 's Student Body are scheduled to take place on next Friday morning at a specially arranged co-ed assembly, according to an an-aouncement today by Lissa Baker, president of A. W. S.
The co-ed assembly will take place at the regular chapel hour and no men will be allowed at the meeting. Another feature of the morning's entertainment will be the awarding of senior letters to those senior women who have, during their four years of college done something for their Alma. Mater worthy of recognition. A. W. S. annually presents senior letters which are considered one of the paramount honors attainable by senior co-eds.
Ethel Oliver, vice president of A. W. S., who, with the president, Lissa Baker, has been at Eugene, Oregon during the past week attending the Western Conference of Associated Women Students will be present to give a report of the conference.
A short playlet has been arranged by the School of Speech under the direction of Miss Tacie Mae Hanna for the occasion.
Fridays co-ed assembly is the second of its kind to be put on under the auspices of the Associated Women Students and is an innovation on the S. C| campus. The success of the first women’s assembly was great enough to insure a follow-up assembly, according to those in charge, and the fact that the program arranged for this week’s chapel is superior to the previous one ought to be recommendation enough, says Lissa Baker.
Election of officers for the ensuing year annually causes a small ripple of politics among the women of the cam pus, and it is expected that women’s organizations will exhibit the usual amount of interest and competition.
SENIORS ASKED TO PAY DUES AT ONCE
Money Will Go To Purchase Of Traditional Class Gift
The drive for seniors dues has commenced, but while the response of the members of the class is fairly good, the committee in charge of the drive desires to get the entire backing of the class in order to make this undertaking a success, according to the chairman.
John Woods, Senior class president, says, “The gift of the graduating class is one of the oldest traditions of the school. We do not want the class to fail in showing their appreciation of all the Alma Mater has done for us. In order to put this across successfully, it is necessary that we have the financial backing of the entire senior class.
The committee that is in charge of this undertaking consists of “Okey” Kraus, chairman and treasurer of the class, Vivienne Meade, Ruth Shifferle, Elizabeth Adamson, Roy Cunninghom, Bill Kineheloe, Ernest Judson, Dorothy Crowley .Ruth Taylor, Willard White, Huber Smutz Darwin Clark, Marguerite Matson, and Virginia Thompson.
Those who cannot see one of the committee are asked to leave their contributions at the ticket booth in the Student’s Book Store and a receipt will be sent to them.
Campus
The newest campus publication at the University of Southern California this year is the Annual of the School of Architecture. Although this is the first appearance of this type of a publication on the Southern California campus ,it is a well established tradition on many of the universities maintaining schools of architecture through cut the country.
With Kenneth Wing filling the position of editor in chief, and Roswell Allison, business manager ,tlie book is well on its way towards completion. Mr. Wing is at present a senior in Architecture and has shown much ability in the editorial work of the new annual. He has chosen a competent staff of students to work with him including Wm. Lundcberg and Cecil Straun as associate editors.
The position of business manager has been very ably filled by Roswell Allison. Although Allison is not at present a student in architecture, he has completed two years in architecture and is now a junior in the School of commerce. Assisting Mr. Allison w'ith the selling of the advertising for the year book is Sydney Brittain and Wrilliam Holdredge. Noble Mcllvain has entire charge of the circulation of the new book.
FILLS LONG NEED
The new publication is a direct result of a long felt need by the administrator and students of the School of Architecture for a representative year book in which will be produced a record of the very best work of the students in architecture. Combined with this will be instructive articles by prominent Southern California architects (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)

Tickets for the Dental minstrel show next Friday night are rapidly being sold out. They are- on sale at the Associated students store, the Dental Clinic building at 16th and Los Angeles Sts., and at the main Dental building on Exposition Blvd. The performance is to be presented at the Bovard auditorium ,the most desirable seats downstairs being $1.50 and the balcony and rear downstairs costing $1.00.
This minstrel show has been given every year for the last five years by the students of the College of Dentistry for the benefit of the Student Loan Fund, which was brought into existence several years ago by Dr. Julio Endl« niann. It has been under his supervision to a great extent ever since that time.
Those in charge say that indications are that ths show will play to a full house, in spite of the size of the Bovard Auditorium. If anyone at Liberal Arts is desirious of obtaining a good seat, it will be necessary to get a reservation at one of the three above mentioned places not later than this afternoon.
The program consists of many popular pieces, sung by a very well-trained chorus and played by an all-Dental orchestra. At minstrel practice a great sensation is being caused by a little novelty hormony from two pianos, played by Joe Breese and Alton “Tony” Harpst and a banjo with its master, Norm Rathert.
Bacon Cliffton, manager of the show and two of his protogees, Bill Arends and Charlie Door are arranging a clog-dancing skit, in which the three of them participate.

CREDIT MEN FILL NEED IN BUSINESS
That banks and financial houses are not the. only organizations which require well-organized and efficiently-operated departments of credits and collections, and that these departments are vital to the business of wholesalers and retailers, in addition to departments of sales, advertising, finance, operation, and administration, will be demonstrated tonight by I. I. Bremner of the United Wholesale Grocery Company, when he lectures at metropolitan college. University of Southern California.

Olson, director of metropolitan college, in room 1340, Transportation Building. Visitors are invited.
The place of the credit man in an organization, his peou’iar and delicate functions, which require special qualifications, how to acquire the proper training and experience to fit the individual for this particular kind of work, and what his work as a credit man will fit him for ,fn the way of promotion and "the job ahead” will be brought out and discusped.
Mr. Charles L. Estay, prominent business man of Los Angeles, will speak to the lower division students this morning at the regular assembly period. The subject of his address will be “Music amd the Man.” He will speak of music from the standpoint of a business man and not a musician.
Mr. Esty addressed the upper-class-men last month. He is a Christian layman and is a strong supporter of spiritual and educational ideals of the school. His address will cover the important points of music, which can be understood by men and women who are unacquainted with the musical technicalities. He will explain the necessity of being able to appriciate good music, and its effect on character for the better.
Mr. J. M. Clinton, who is a member of the international committee of the Y. M. C. A., will speak to the upperclassmen at the regular assembly period.

Lists of the seat assignments for the Tuesday and Wednesday Assemblies have been posted on the bulletin board near the Registrar's office.

TRIP TO MORONI A PROMISED IN MAY VISIT OF TOMMY WAMPUS
By MAMIE LOUISE LEUNG
Stop! Look! Listen!
How young are you?
Are you getting old, or are you like the fluffy little coeds who grow younger year by year? If you don’t know, you really ought to find out, because it means you either are or are not a Moron. Before going further, it might be well to explain the two types of morons; one is a salamander, and the other is an imbecile plus, that is, plus a few years of mental age. So take your choice—there really isn’t much difference.
Anyway, Wampus will serenade on May 12. Mayhap you don’t see the connection between Moronia and Wampus, but it’s best not to be too logical, or this wouldn’t apply to you. Be that as it may, the kitty will land on all fours, and howl on all subjects moronic, making it possible for every student on the campus to jot down that experience on eating spaghetti, or passing freshman psychological exes. or winning the dog-bone button. Master Tommy, or Grady Setzler, will have a big blue saucer in readiness in his spacious den for the cream of humor, all of which is expected to drip
in steadily until five o’clock this Friday afternoon.
So if you are a moron—and who isn’t at this time of the year?—don’t hesitate to proclaim it to the world. For instance, the feline would like a little interlude on spring fever, on how you simply revel in writing semester papers, and just dread the long, lazy summer vac. Or perhaps you have some poetry in your soul; if so, unloose it, that it may be perused with glee by the associated students of Southern California Then of course politics will be with us soon, which ought to be good for more than a few pages.
Start in now, and in time you may be the luckv one who is knighted with no less than a glaring, golden Wampus Key. Tommy announces joyfully that awards will be made soon, and that ten of the coveted honors are to be parked on the four best literary lights the four best art kleigs, and the two most faithful business flashes.
So take your pen in hand now, and there will be one less reason why Wamp is not better than any comic magazine printed!
Dues Are Coming in Fast;
Per Cent Membership Is Expected
After a day’s intensive collecting of Junior Class dues ,Red Haynes, treasurer, announces that a splendid number of subscriptions have been received, and he expects that, following the campaign which closes tomorrow afternoon, practically the entire membership of the class will have paid up its fifty cents. A committee of ten ardent collectors is working hard, and every member of the class will be “approached” at least once. It is hoped by Red and his committee that once will be sufficient.
‘‘The dues,” says Red, “have been placed within the reach of everyone. The executive committee of the class deemed it wise to set the amount at but fifty cents, and that means that we should have 100 per cent paid up membership in the class.”
The collecting committee is composed of the following, in addition to Mr. Haynes: Revelle Harrison, Bill Hanson, Ron Snavely, Ronald Stever,, Marjorie Rice, Evalyne Ross Clare Kaufer, Jannie Lee Moore, and Kay Potter. These ten have been provided with receipt books, and written receipts are given to each who pays his dues. Members of the class who may possibly be overlooked by the committee are asked by Red to look up any of the collectors, and make payment, as, according to Ron Snavely, president of the class, it is very important that 100 per cent be reached.
STUDENTS AT MET PROVE SUCCESSFUL
Two of the features of the day school of metropolitan college, University of Southern California, are the co-ordination system of education and assistance in securing part-time work while pursuing studies.
The effectiveness and success of these inaugurations are demonstrated by their combination in two outstanding instances shown in the report of the last quarter’s work of the college, when George C. McCormack and Sidney D. Krystal, two co-ordination students proved themselves so valuable to the concerns with whom they were placed that when the time came for them to return to the college they were urged to retain their connection on a part-time basis.
McCormack, who under the co-or-dination plan of college education spends three months in school and three months in a salaried position, was placed with an accounting organization (Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co.) for the months of January, February and March. When the spring quarter opened in April and he was scheduled to return to school for ad-dit{onal theory and class-room work, the company communicated with the appointment bureau of the university and asked that the student be assigned for part-time work to them, with the understanding that next quarter he t reurn for full-time work.

Defeat Both Nebraska Wesleyan and Cotner College 3 to 0
Taking three to nothing decision* over Nebraska Wesleyan University on Saturday night and over Cotner College, Nebraska state champions on Friday night, William Barber and N* d I>ewis, high powered debate combination of Troy, continued the excellent work which they have been doing for U. S. C. since the beginning of the trip.
These last victories were particularly impressive as both opponents are considered among the best teams of the middle west. Cotner College, previous to their meeting with Southern California defeated all the teams of their section and had won the championship of the state.
During the previous week a string of eight consecutive Southern California victories was broken when Barber and Lewis suffered the only setbacks of the trip, losing hotly contested clashes with William and Jewell College and Wsetminister College.
In both these places the judges were divided, the Trojans receiving the small end of two to one decisions. Westminister College has not been defeated in debate during the last two years, and their team made a great deal of special preparation in order that they might defeat the much heralded team from Southern California. Outside the state of Missouri the Trojans have not been defeated.
The convincing manner in which Barber and Lewis have conquered five out of the seven teams on their extensive tour bears out the opinion expressed by several expert judges that Coach Nichols “first string” debate team constitutes the leading forensic combination on the Pacific Coast. Their record is considered remarkable owing to the fact that they have not only the best teams of the states in which they have competed and that they have been debating in strange auditoriums two thousand miles away from Southern California.
Two more contests remain on the schedule of the Trojan vocabulary artists, the University of Wyoming tc-night at laramie and wit hthe University of Utah at Salt Lake City on Friday evening. Barber and Lewis will return to Southern California following the Utah contest and will arrive in Los Angeles Sunday morning.
