“Syncopating Co-eds’’ Also Will Feature on the Bill of the Senior Road Show, Says Manager George Hall
That a new school, whose purpose is to instruct students in international law, and for the purpose of training future foreign diplomats and officers, would be established in the near future in connection with the University of Southern California, was the statement made by Haroldi J. Stonier, executive secretary of the University, yesterday. The school will 'be known as the Los Angeles University of International Relations and will be organized under the leadership of President R. B. von Klein-Smid, who is now in Washington conferring with both political and financial leaders in regard to the establishment of the new school. Definite announcement regarding the complete organization of the school and of the erection of buildings is necessarily withheld until the return of the president from the East in June, it was stated by Mr. Stonier, but plans are rapidly under way for the creation of the new institution
“The new school will be affiliated with the University much as the College of Dentistry, but will have its own board of directors and will not be controlled by any religious sect or influence, being international, atf it is. in its character,” said Mr. Stonier. “There is a definite need for such a school in the West, Georgetown University in Washington being the only school of this nature in the country. We feel that our close relation here in the west with both the Oriental and South American groups will enable us to successfully carry out a school of this nature. President von KleinSmid has had long experience with South American countries and is well versed in affairs of foreign relations. The president is planning a trip to South America later to interest diplomats in the new school.” Trustees of the new University named are President von KleinSmid, Harold J. Stonier. Charles E. Millikan, assistant to the dean of the Law School, Ada English and Grace Wickham.

ONE-ACT PLAY TO APPEAR MAY 23
Italian Club Will Present the Original Work of Phillip Pizza
‘ Sandro Botticelli." an original one-act play by Philip Pizza, will be presented under the auspices of the Italian Club, May 23, in the Touchstone Theater. The play is written entirely in blank verse of classic conceits in keeping with the spirit of Florence in the time of Botticelli. Scenery, costumes, and the staging are all by U. S. C. students. It will be a student product frOm beginning to end.
The play was originally written in Latin verse* by Mr. Pizza several years ago while visiting Florence. He was impressed to write the play after examining several of Botticelli’s masterpieces. It was only last fall that Mr. Pizza translated his play into English. The task of translating was an arduous one and was almost as difficult as that of writing the original play.
A cast is now at work preparing for a presentation of the play. Clare Kaufer will play the role of Simonetta who was BoticellPs model and inspiration. Edsworth Ross will play the other lead, Botticelli, the artist around whom the story centers. Mr. Scotten will play Pietro de Medici, husband of Simonetta. Others in the cast are, William Collins and Katherine Wadden.
The story of the play tells of the tragic love of the artist. Botticelli, for his model, Simonetta, who is married to another. Botticelli is also loved by Margheritis. but he does not care $or |ier. Botticelli seals the tragic situation by joining the church.
Tickets for the annual Junior-Senior bar^uet will go on sale today. A special committee from the Junior class has charge of the pasteboards, and any Junior may obtain one from a member of this group.
The affair is scheduled to take place in the sun parlors and ball room of the Beverly Hills Hotel May 16, and, according to Johnny Woods, president of the class, is to be strictly formal following the custom of previous years. Only Juniors and Seniors will be allowed to attend, also an established custom.
Junior men are to take Senior women, and Junior women must go with Senior men. As to whether the Senior man or the Junior woman pays for the entertainment there is a diversity of opinion. The committee in charge of the tickets are making no distinction , but as the Junior class is supposed to be paying for the whole affair, it has been suggested that the Junior women pay their share.
However, any Senior men who want to attend may do so if they desire to ask Junior girls to accompany them. In case that they want to go with Senior girls it will be necessary for them to buy a tickets, even though Seniors are not supposed to have to pay anything. This arrangement has been made necessary because the price of the tickets has been cut down to the very lowest figure possible, and no

LACK FULL QUOTA FOR SERVICE FUND
Only Little Over Half Amount
Raised by Noon Yesterday
Thirteen hundred dollars, or a little over half of the quota, was the amount which had been subscribed to the Service Campaign fund at noon yesterday. It looked, at that time, doubt ful that the full amount would be raised. According to Les Heineman, the Dental College is making a good showing.
At noon yesterday, the thermometers showed that the Sophomore Executive team was in the lead, with Y. M. C. A. team a close second. The Rachel Coleman team was third, closely following it came the Elizabeth Kemp team.
If the two thousand dollars cannot be raised by the students, then the committee will have to fall back upon the missionary fund, and* the help of
individuals. This would not speak well for the present student body because in 1921. a fund of twenty-one hundred dollars was raised by the student body without the aid of outside organizations. Now the student body is considerably larger, and yet a fund not as big as that of previous years carnot be raised.
The committee is hoping for a last minute panic of generosity, in which the balance of the fund will be received This is probably the only thing that could save it. and it looks doubtful.

ventions; Delegates Adopt Platform; Mock Convention Continues for Two Hours
By RALPH HOLLY
!• rank O. Lowden, of Illinois was nominated for President of the United States on the second ballot by the student delegates assembled in a mock Republican party convention in Bovard Auditorium yesterday morning. Gifford Pinchot, now Governor of Pennsylvania, was named for vice-president on the first ballot taken of the delegations. Two hours were necessary before the actual balloting for the nominees was started. The convention adjourned after staging one of the most sensational and interesting programs ever held at an assembly period.
The first ballot for president was: Lowden 349, Hoover 215, Coolidge 214, La Follette 14S and Johnson 85. The second ballot was not completed, Lowden receiving a majority early. Pinchot’s vote -was 514.
There were parades and demonstrations rivaling those only of the i eal national conventions. Speeches were made amid the catcalls of opposition. Stirring nominations were gi\en. Twice patrolman Kelly of the University staton used hs authority to preserve order on the convention door by preventing certain delegates from entering into intensive physical combat.
in spite of the Coolidge support that had been noticed on the campus in the last few weeks, the strength of the president was submerged iu the avalanche that took Lowden to the finish. Much credit goes to the Coolidge forces for the decoration of the auditorium with the flags and pictures that gave the convention fla\cr to the gathering. The defeat of ihe president was a surprise, but the selection of the Illinois man was more than that.
The convention aa a whoie adopted ihe platform as presented by Miss Vera MacLaren of the Resolutions committee. The speedy acceptance of the platform was not foreseen as much argument had been expected. But for the quick response of Buster Depuy, chairman of the Tennessee
delegation in making a motion to
accept the report o rthe Committee of Resolutions as read, the radicals of the convention would have blocked its passage. During the reading of the platform the dry advocates of light wines and beer brought the old rye barrel on the stage amid the enthusiasm of some of the wet delegates. A motion to adopt a moi&t plank was lost because it was declared out of order. The platform was acclaimed as a document which spoke of the true attitude of the Republican parfy.
After reading of the call of the convention by the secretary James Mussatti, general chairman read his keynote address in which he cited

Management Class Classifies the News in Five Los Angeles Newspapers
In order to become better acquainted with the local newspaper field, and ihe newspaper reading public of Los Angeles, the Newspaper Management clas:, conducted by Marc Goodnow, has made a survey and classification of all the news in five Los Angeles papers over a period of one week. Many surprising facts resulted, among them, that does not crave as much scaEdal news as popularly supposed, but that more space is given to drama and industrial and financial development. Results of the survey will probably be published in the local papers.
The Journalism Department will also take the reins of an out-of-town paper for a day. having received an invitation from an Alhambra daily. Last year, the department took cha-ge entirely of several publications, in Long Bcaeh. S~.n Pedro, Anaheim and elsewhere.
Recently, the Advertising class submitted layouts for disp’ay ads for the Ambassador Cocoanut Grove, from the standpoint of the college student. As a result, each student was given a complimentary ticket for one couple, to all th eprivileges of the grove.
