•'Ttiis is the one instance in the history of the University that a man can be original and truthful at the same time. This is the day before the Junior-Senior banquet and it looks as if tickets would be a complete sellout," said Ronald Snavely, class pres-|ident of the Juniors in an Interview concerning the prospects for the Jun-i ior-Senior banquet to be held tomorrow night at the Oakmont Country 1 Club.
"The sale oi tickets has almost surpassed all of our expectations,” said 1 Snavely. “We had expected to still have many to sell on today and tomor-iow, but there are very few left. The fact that it is to be at the Oakmont Country Club seems to sell the tickets in itself. We had the first function of the Junior social season there and everyone enjoyed it so much that the committee decided that the only thing to do was to have the final event of the year there too.

have agreed to accept the responsibility. Coach and Mrs. Jones have never appeared at a function of the University of Southern California before as a patron and patroness, and we feel that we are fortunate to get their consent to attend this.
"The music for this ocasion will be the best that we could find, and in the Bill Hatch Radio Orchestra we feel that we have an orchestra that will not only meet the approval of everyone present, but make them enthusiastic over it. The program of entertainment will be varied and novel. The favors will be both attractive and unusual. The dinner will be a regular Oakmont Country Club dinner, served with the usual niceness and correctness.
INFORMAL KEYNOTE
"Because so many fellows hate to
1 evening, according to members of the Executive Committee.
By action of the Executive Committee, the Wampus euitor must be nominated by the Wampus Club, members of the Wampus staff, and must be selected by a vote ot the Executive Committee. Grady Setzler was reelected to the Wampus editorship for next year.
The College of Architecture was granted the right to place a representative on the Executive Committee as a result of action taken by the committee.
Sam Gates was appointed by the Executive Committee to manage de bating next year. Wliliam Teetzel was selected as the business manager ot the Trojan. Burdette Ives landed the job of being El Rodeo manager, and George Orme of managing the Wampus. Ellsworth Ross will serve as manager of plav productions next year.
Due to a mistake in gathering the ballots on the night of elections, the votes at Metropolitan College have not
on the campus, students were greeted with the information that ‘‘El Rodeo." the college annual, was ready tor distribution. It appeared two days before the scheduled time for its distribution. Before the first class period had progressed very far, the student body store was beseiged with students demanding their copies. Professors fought desperately in keen competition with El Rodeo for the attention ot their classes, and everywhere there were smiles and exclamations of pleasure at the rare beauty of the book.
The book itself is truly a piece of art. The old mission style of architecture is carried out in sepia tones throughout the book, and on every page there is something suggestive of ; California. This is the second year I the El Rodeo is an all-university pro-i duction. Heretofore it has been a pro-I duct of the Junior class only, and there are many improvements over some of the former campus annuals. The book nears perfection as regards style, art, and organization, and the positive indication of its worth is determined by the comments of satisfaction of the students themselves. All seem perfectly pleased with the makeup of the book.
The first twenty-three advance copies of El Rodeo were distributed to members of the staff Monday evening at a banquet held at the I-os Angeles Athletic Club. The first copies published were given to members of the track team before they left for the east last week to compte in tbe Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletics of America in Philadelphia. The
Mrs. Hutchins, mother of Bart Hutchins ,editor of El Rodeo, as the boys passed through El Paso. Texas-, which is Bart s home town.
In the front pages of the book are eight photographs of the most beautiful girls on the campus. These pictures were chosen from among sixty-four which were submitted to Mack Sennett with the request that he choose the most bt-autifu! tor reproduction in the annual. Then follows pictures of university officials and faculty members .together with their respective messages to the students. Tinted photographs of old California Missions are found throughout the book.
The section covering university organizations is especially pleasing this year, as the section is complete in itself and not scattered throughout the book. Debate, Dramatic. Music, and Literary, and Athletics each are elaborately represented.
The athletes have a good-sized section edited by Freddie Jenkins, and devoted to photographs of popular heroes, together with the history ot their activities.
A particularly pleasing section, and one that is new in the University, is the section known as the “Alley Rat.” edited by Hargrove Smith, Maul Miller and Helen Scheuer. Some of the choicest college humor and college scandal is to be found in this section.
All in all, the El Rodeo staff is to be congratulated on its splendid work and co-operation in the production of this beek. It is truly a worthy college memorial of the school year 1925.
at 1 p. m. Monday
Unclaimed copies of El Rodeo will go on open sale promptly at one o'clock Monday, according to Myrl Ott, manager of the book.
Holders of tickets on th° following list will be able to get their books between nine and one o'clock on Monday. The list consists of numbers 150-200, 601-650, 701-750, 1451-1500, 1701-1750, 1751-1800.

lars we decided that the affair should be informal. Also the girls on the committee suggested that it was somewhat late in the season to stage a formal university function. All the men are happy about this idea, lot it eliminates them from the unpleasant task of selecting .a suitable corsage for their partner. The girls, of coarse,” Mr. Snavely added, “will have to doll up, I suppose. They can't see the sense of coming to a dinner in school clothes, and we are going to be informal with them too. and let them wear just what they please."

ganized to petition Phi Kappa, national social Catholic fraternity, was formally recognized by the Interfraternity Council. The Council was the first of the three bodies whose permission is necessary to the establishment of a fraternity on the campus, to recognize the new local. Before it can become a campus organization it must secure the recognition of the student body executive committee and the board of control. The latter body is composed of Dr. von KleinSmid and several members of the faculey.
Phi Kappa, the fraternity under consideration, is a national of twelve chapters, having houses, among other places, on the campus of Brown University, Ohio Wesleyan Kansas and Massachusetts University. It was founded at Brown in 1899. The tenta-I tive chapter at Southern California will be the only one in the far west.
A petition for recognition of a new professional pre-medical fraternity wras tabled and turned over to the Professional Interfraternity Council for action.

The trip was arranged on short no- . tice by Don Cemeron, chairman of the ; Rally Committee, and newly elected student body president, at tie invitation of the Pasadena high school.

Miss Rosalind Williamson, whose reputation in L<os Angeles as a dancer and singer is an enviable one, will bring something entirely new and dis-tinctivily original in her share of the evening’s treat. All efforts to secure a clue as to the nature of the plot were laughingly turned aside, but tha Daily Trojan need fear no suit for libel by suggesting the audience will find unique and clever ideas tucked away in this act.
QUARTETTE SINGS
Succeeding Miss Williamson will come the Trojan Male Quartette ;n a series of new numbers. Ray McDonald, Marcus Beeks, Carl Spring and Edward Fearney are the members of this quartette and much interest has been aroused in their bit by the fact that they have had Professor Horatio Coggswell of the College of Music as their critic in approving their preparation for tonight. “The Rosary” will be given in an arrangement expressly adapted to the voices of the quartette. “Swing Along” is the other piece and should measure up equally wrell in the tout ensemble.
The next number is made up ot two Indian songs. One has a flute obligato by Miss Helen McLean, and the other features a soprano solo by Miss Claire Jarde. Carl Spring will dress up in a sailor costume to represent an old sea tar, as he is going to offer a tenor solo entitled “The Sea Gypsy.” “More and More” and “Kavanagh" will be presented by the Mens Glee Club and an instrumental trio will play semi-classical and light opera pieces. All members of the trio are from the College of Music.
Harry Hall and Glenn Cook are scheduled to appear in a Negro church scene and will be assisted by Ray McDonald. who is portraying the dignified Negro minister. Mr. Frank Mor rell will accompany on the piano for the songs and dancing of Messrs. Hall and Cook. Novel songs, new steps and a line of sarcasm that will he an index of America’s best humor will be offered in this act. One feat that deserves much appreciation because or its difficult feature is a step dance up and down a flight of stairs.

Clayton Meeker Hamilton, one of th toremost dramatic critics and lecturers, as well as an authority on the art of fiction, addressed the upper class chapel Wednesday, on the subject of Sheridan’s “Rivals," now playing at the Biltmore Theater.
Mr. Hamilton delighted the decorous juniors and seniors with his subtle and shrewd humor. He gave the entire history of the erratic Irish playwright Sheridan previous to his writing of the famous “Rivals,” and told just how the play was written. Ac-| cording to Mr. Hamilton, Sheridan had i just married by elopement, and de-1 tided that he really should have some J money to live, so took what he thought the easiest method, that of writing a play. He used an old plot, one that had never failed before, and introduced in it the types of characters that had been favorites for ages. Making the attempt to write the same

Mr. Hamilton has been a prolific
authority in the world of make-believe. He was procured largely through the efforts of the School of Speech, and was ably introduced by Dean Immel.
