Announcement was received yesterday in the Trojan office of the Lyric jlub Ball which is to take place at je Ambassador Auditorium on Friday '’ening. May 9.
“The Woman's Lyric Club is offer-g a prize to the organization pre-nting the best musical character, ny club taking fifty tickets will be ligible to enter a character in the contest,” according to Mrs. Leonard , Stabler, president of the Club. Tickets may be obtained from Miss loomfield in the office of the Pharmacy Building, at one dollar each.
Abe layman’s orchestra will furnish imusic for the dancers.
The Lyric Club which was founded twenty-one years ago. now has a membership of one hundred and ten singers, all of whom have gained entrance only after singing before a committee of critics. The merit of the club lies in the fact that its programs are always thoroughly artistic and finished as regards interpretation and refinement of tone quality.
The New England Conservatory of Music recently named them as foremost in rank among organizations of their kind in the United States today.
week-end, according to Hank Rohr, member of the Freshman Executive Committee which is putting on the party.
Tickets for the affair which is forecasted as a Spring sport dance are to go on sale Monday at $1 a couple and will be obtainable from members of the Frosh committee.

“The pavilion is going to be all decorated up with green stuff and floating springy things Tell ’em that,” said “Hank” and added, “In the spring a Freshman’s fancy lightly turns to— collateral.”
That the third time is the charm so far as dances go will be proved at the Frosh dance next Friday night when the basketball pavilion will be in use for the third time as the scene of a university party. Following the senior homecoming dance and the Sophomore dance, both of which were highly successful the Frosh are to stage their frolic at the pavilion.
As a result of the success of the informal get-to-gether held last week at the Delta Pi sorority house the gym dance was planned. That there will be plenty of girls for the stag line is assured by the fact that dates are again in order.
Music for the occasion will be furnished by the Lake Arrowhead orchestra. and all the usual details of punch and good floor are being taken care of, according to the committee.
“Get your dates early, that’s all you will have to do to have a good time next Friday,” is the advice of the Frosh.

Every student is urged to attend | this assembly by Cameron who says I that in addition to the program given ; by the college of music which has been worked up by music students especially for this occasion .every student j should feel it his duty to meet Coach Jones and help him to get better acquainted with the University.

By MOORE VOTES
Fishing for and attempting to land the elusive voters in their respectiv*-baskets is taking up most of the time of the politicians on Souhern California's campus since peitions were issued to aspirants on Wednesday. All the prepent campaign lacks to pave a way for its mention in national print is a few
riots and a William Jennings Bryan, and it is possible that both may be forthcoming before the student candidates are securely seated on their respective thrones.
The proverbial “dark horse" has not broken into the field as yet, and it is said that the campaign may run its course without any late starters com ing along to spill the dope. It has been the case in past years, however, fro several late starters to throw their hats in the ring after the early risers had begun to feel secure in their pursuit of votes, according to present and former student office holders. PRESIDENTIAL RACE EXCITING
What holds promise of turning out to be a red hot political brush is being satged between Don Cameron, Bob Green and Burke Long for the helm of Student Body affairs next year in the office of President. Each of the above men have a small army of workers in the political harness for them. These workers bid fair to succeed in splitting up the campus vote so as to put the outcome of the race far beyond an early prediction, it is said.
From a field that might have discouraged President Coolidge in his last air tight Presidential campaign, six Seniors and two Gradautes will be signled out to serve on the 1925-1926 Executive Committee. Despite the fact that a host is running for places on this board, petitions seem to be amassing plenty of names, according
Members of the staff of the Pomona Progress will take Saturday of this week as a vacation day when Southern California Trojan writers take over the Pomona publication to edit on that day.
Journalism students of Southern California have made several trips arranged by Mark N. Goodnow, professor of journalism here, to newspapers in cities adjacent to Los Angeles for the purpose of gaining experience in putting out a commercial publication.
Saturday's trip is expected to hold special interest for both the staff of the Trojan and Progress as Teet Carle, last year’s Trojan Editor, and Okey King, former Wampus Editor both hold down positions on the Pomona publication.
Margurite Matson will act as managing editor while Ralph Holly, Dorothy Crowley will edit the telegraph news.
Dorothy Davis and Marjorie Hull will handle the society column. Paul Churchill will edit the sport page.
Freeman Hall, Chet Mackie, Terrel DeLapp, and Catherine Potter will act
as reporters. Grady Setzler and Maud rf,p0r(S froni the Election Commit Miller will spend their time in writing tee
feature stories.
Professor Goodnow will make the trip with the Trojan writers and will have supervision of the editing of the paper.

What the world needs is bigger and better morons. At least, that is what you’ll think on May 12, when Wamp's idotic circus bursts upon the campus.
This, the Moron number is expected to fit every purchaser, and is therefore full of crazy ideas.
Wlhat is more to the point, Wamp will arrive at the height of the political epidemic. This may or may not have been planned with malice aforethought; however, it goes without saying that you should consult Wamp before exercising your royal prerogative of suffrage—that is, of course, if you haven’t already sold your vote.
But the real reason for this newest outburst is to allow the morons to burst forth in all their glory. For instance, among the features to appear are “The Modern Mother Goose,” with profuse illustrations, ‘“The Impressionistic School, at its Worst,” “Oh,
Where is my Wandering Mind Tonight?" “Moronograms,” “What Bvery Moron Should Know,” and “Moron

Campaigning among sorority girls
* Positions other than that of President in the management of Student Body affairs, and including vice-president and secretary are reported to be the bones of contention for several candidates. The women on the campus are much concerned who of their group will get a lease on the duties of secretary, according to reports from many co-eds.
After working together since their entrance to Southern California in helping to get the Daily Trojan off the press, Chet Mackie and Ralph Holly are both in the ring for the editorship (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)

presented and that acts of more diversified nature from which to make selections have been tried out. The Road Show is to be limited to eight acts this year and indications are that the production will be even a peppier and snappier than past editions of this camlpus favorite.
The chorus act of which Grant I-* Monte is directing will be the hetd-liner of the bill. Members of tbe committee who reviewed the act declare that it will rival many of the musical skits of similar nature seen on the Orpheum or Pantages circuit. The pledges of Lance and Lute will give the only play to be offered. The play has been selected and its name will be announced later.
Bud King and his popular synca-tors will be one of the high lights of the show. This orchestra has made a distinct hit with unversity as well as local jazz enthusiasts. It has been billed at several local theaters as well as Lake Arrowhead and has always been a great drawing card. “Bud” has promised several novelties for the Road Show.
Fifty and seventy-five cents has been set as the standard seat price. The ticket sale will open soon, according to Ellsworth Ross, production manager.
