[onorable N. Lewis Toastmaster Loses Best Pair of Pajamas
By MARY TAYLOR
[Police are searching for five men rented to be members of the Bachelors |om Southern California Campus up-warrants sworn to by several co-i from the Southern Branch on a of serious charges ranging from inkedness to indecent exposure, as result of a two-day orgy carried on r five men suspected to be members the mentioned organization at Lake Irrowhead over the last week-end. Ned Lewis, who in former years has sen head toastmaster at these brawls, \&s not able to take the trip. It is laid that he passed out in San Ber-|ardino enroute and was brought back Los Angeles for nothing by county Iheriffs who wanted to keep their |ounty clear of sots. Instead of hav-lg them take him home it is rumored jat he got off at his secret rendevouz the shady section of the city. It was lere that police found him with a idy friends when they battered in the loor Sunday morning. Mr. Lewis de-|lines to make any statement regard-gthtf affair, but claims that his lat-3t model pajamas were confiscated y the officers, along with four quarts id a water glass full of gin.
Fourteen coeds from the Southern branch are endeavoring to find out tne imes of the members of the party lat occupied their cabins Saturday ^ight and forced all but five of them sleep in the dance hall at the Lake, although possibly a coincidence, only jive Baehlors made the trip to the |ake, and the Arrowhead police—both >f them—are reported to be issuing warrants for these five.
The five dissillusioned girls are said Ito be entering serious charges against [the prides of Southern California in Ithese warrants. One girl states that she lost her entire wardrobe, while the lother four report that they lost irn-Iportant articles of colthing. They declined to describe these, so it is probably that they will not be recovered I from the accused bachelors.
Police are in possession of one pair of B. V. D.’s marked “Bud.” This is the only clue left, that the police can uncover, by the five men being sought. The girls stated that their companions left sometime before dawn and that they were unable to give a clear des-(CONTINUED DN PAGE FOUR)

NED LEWIS CALLED CLEANEST POLITICK
Prexy Is Chairman Of- Many Committees That Serve For School
By MARTHA SMITH
We would like to know how Ned Lewis got in. Of all the self-assuming politicians he takes grand prise. If he wasn’t so much of a politician he would be all right. As if Hank Mo-Cann had a little more sense he would be a half wit, similarly if Ned Lewis had a few more brains he would be a good fellow but at the present time he has become the worst back biting politician this university has ever had. The Executive Committee of this University is an example of what sort of an individual he is. During meetings when it is required that he appoint a committee to do something he will do one of two things. First, if the position of this committee will result in some personal glory Ned will appoint himself as chairman, as he did in the case of the Faculty Athletic Committee. If the committee work is of a nonpolitical nature and required a lot of honest effort Ned will appoint Sam Gates. The way Ned runs this executive committee is a crime and the way he conducts the student affairs would bring tears to the eyes of the

STUDENT STORE EILES
Skull and Dagger Society Sharp; Pledge Low-Brows
Skull and Dagger, honor sophomore [ executive committee, held a mass I pledging in chapel last week. Those of us who were in the audience were disappointed that we did not hear the glee club, so much did that organization represent the singers in volume.
With the exception of one light suit, the worthy pledges took their honors modestly, even Ellsworth Ross. Their I emotions wore so controlled that we did not even realize its importance un-|til Ned Lewis told us in so many words the great thing it was. “Honor, personality, crooked politics, and a fraternity brother who is an active member are the requirements,” said Lewis. “Being President of the organization myself, it is of course unnecessary to explain that everything has. been perfectly on the level, and above board. We admit1 that some of our decisions may require a little explaining. so I will give you the low down on why we pledged the men you see before you. Here’s why:
Clarence Houser wj»s pledged be had enough sense to not take Sig Chi seriously.
Fay Thomas because he is author of that famous book “What every- Sigma Tau Should Know.
Otto Anderson on account of his drinking ability—oh. no!—we mean smuggling.
Kenneth Boyer was selected to give the non-fraternity members of the bas-
ketball squad encouragement.
Marquis Busby on account of continued success as a scenario writer; his latest work was ‘Passionate Playthings.’
Ray Brennan for managing Ned lewis’ presidential campaign.
B. B. Griffin, to offset Hank McCann.
Loweli Lindley, on aceount of the great assistance his ‘legal mind’ has been to the executive committee.
Bart Hutchins for bringing out an El Rodeo in spite of Myrl Ott.
Myrl Ott for reasons unknow*.
Burke Long for keeping Badgro, Dorsey, and Kaer out of jajl up north.
Walt Hodgson has made bo much money out of track that he can be of considerable financial assistance
Bob Green ‘dammed if I know.’
Ellsworth Ross because be canae closest to expulsion of any man this year.
Ray McDonald, because he didn’t know Sigma Sigma is a Junior organization.
George Orme had too much on Ned Lewis for him to be kept out.
Don Cameron, to make him eligible for Student Body President. 1 1
Yale Martz for being the most popular man on the campus, and last but not letast.
John Woods, for holding the presidency of his class despite all comers.”
Dean Fiske, Manager, Is Broken Man; Appeals To Students For Aid
Word reached the ears of a Yellow Dog reporter yesterday, that Dean Fiske, manager of the Associated Students Store, had filed a petition for bankruptcy at the city hall. Upon investigation, this rumor was found to be authentic. It seems that the Students Store has been operating at a great loss ever since its establishment on the campus. According to Fiske, there is an enormous overhead expense incurred thru excessive rental charged for the spacious and well equipped building, and the large stock that is always kept on hand. “We find,’' said the broken man, “that we have been selling our stock at an actual loss to us in an effort to save money for the students. When you consider the ready service we ren- j'abolished all examinations and der, and that we also give you rebate checks for each purchase, it may be clearly seen we have gone into the hole. We have though only of the students, and it has resulted in financial disaster.”
Last October, with the hopes of making the store a paying proposition, the management leased a portion of the store to Mr. Thompson for a soda fountain. From the report given out, the proprietor of the fountain, has thought only of the welfare of the students, and has been so unselfish and reasonable in the rates charged the patrons, being rivaled only by the Biltmore, that it has actually become a liability rather than an asset. When interviewed, Mr.
Thompson said, “the dollar is my last thought. I hope to give the students

Yesterday witnessed a upheaval in administrative and faculty affairs at the Law School. Previous probes have hitherto lead to nothing, but the recent announcement of Dean Porter that U. S. C. Law would continue to reside in the Tajo Building for another year, prompted University authorities to make another investigation. Reports from the auditors who are still working on the books, show the affairs of the school to be in a most shameful condition. As a' result, the entire faculty and administrative force have resigned, with the ex ception of Glenn Whitney. In a statement made last night Mr. Whitney said, “I tried to dissuade them from their nefarious scheme, but I could not stem the tide.” Corpulent Prof. Jones alias Averdupois, alias Stentovan, said “I is tired of the here joint. The students is too ignorant”
However, the law classes are in regular session this morning and the i casual observer will note little difference in the routine.
After some difficulty, Bo Wilson was appointed to fill the Dean’s chair. Nordstrom was urged to accept the position, but he refused saying? “Me and Bo are too good pals to quarrel over a little job like that.”
Henry Reynolds has taken over the office vacated by Mr. Millikan. “I find it a welcome relief from studying Water Rights,” opines Henry.
Robert Bradley will take charge of the Practive Court department as soon as Mr. Whitney hands in his resignation. This will be only justice as Bob has been doing all the work anyway.
The Seniors will be glad to know of the change in the proprietorship of the book store. Newt Anderson is now in charge. He announce* a 200 per cent cut in complaint covers.
The Contracts classes have been taken over by Bill Barber. He has

sell “A’s” for $5 a piece.
Bernard Walsh has succeeded Mr. Van Etten as Professor of Real Property. “I am open to constructive criticism,” says Tat.
Max Buntman will teach Conflict of Laws. Max promises to work hard in order to get the law into a worse mess.
Maruine Seigloff is now professor of the Law of Persons. She is well fitted for her subject. Special mephasis will be laid upon Alimony and Adoption. Marcelling and manicuring will be introduced.
Lamar BuUer has succeeded Mr. Jones in teaching Evidence. The course will be continued much on the same lines as before, but more in the Pianissimo.

CLARK IS FOUND TO BE GUSHINGLY DEMOCRATIC
Registrar Lauds Grade Point System With Fiendish Glee
“I answer both questions with yes” said Monsieur Theron Clarke, as modestly as a shrinking, dried up violet, in answer to queries by a disguised Yal-ler Pup reporter, posing as a representative of WThos Who. ‘‘Yes,” said the Ambassador from the University of Brown, “I feel that I have had quite a share in the student’s education. To this end I have contributed the famous Grade Point System.” Continuing, he said:
The student should have more complex things, to give him mental practice. He should have cross word puzzles, executive committees, the ever alert registrar, and most important, the most intricate grade point system possible. I feel that I have capably contributed the last two. To further the complexity, and make it harder for the student to know what it is all about, I have instructed all my force, the pride of the Old Maid’s Seminary, to send the student hunting information, on a wild goose chase, and believe me, we have some merry old times, under my keen foresight, and experience from Brown. Out motto is: “Never Tell Anything. Time will do that.”
Then our little game continues. Often we win both ways, thumbs down, for if a person flunks, we get some of his grade points, and take the rest if he over cuts.. Then if he drops the course, we begin to substract on the minus side of the Sheet .because he fails to continue. You see the instructor might feel offended at the slight. And on these lazy spring afternoons, ohr girls like to while away theer time by scribbling, and we let them harmlessly play away with the grade cards. They have been playing a little game, called “take away, put and take, etc., grade points.”
You see we want to be entirely original. Oxford has just the opposite and of course we don’t wish to follow in their footsteps ,so we take away. Besides, students don’t stay in school long enough to get a really broad education. By this new method, some will be with us for seven years, while some will be here forever. Thus we will all get a chance to get acquainted. Won’t that be like one big jolly family though? And confusion trains the human mind wonderfully. One can’t say

9 Ueutenant-Colonel Warren Bovard, or Major as he is commonly known, according to an official report issued by the Board of Trustees yesterday, is the new president of the University. It is only because the Yellow Dog is always the first with the latest, that it is possible to carry this story exclusively in this paper. When interviewed at his home last night. Bovard stated, ‘‘I would much prefer having it kept secret for a little time yet, in as much as I have a strong disliking for all publicity.” It was only after much persuasion and pleading that the new president finally consented to letting the news out. He stated that the only change in the administration would be the shifting of Theron Clark, who has so ably taken grade points from the students to the position left vacant by the new appointment of Bovard. Here Clark w-ill have an opportunity to take away the loose change from the students.
Bovard is a former student of U. S. C. and since his school days, he has always had a mutual basis of understanding upon which to meet the students. He has been an ardent supporter of prohibition since he was asked to leave the halls of Troy and pursue his education in some other Sigma Chi house. Wild orgies and booze parties have been crossed off his list since Lois Wilson has been satisfied with other escorts.
In all his work, he has shown a self-sacrificing spirit, receiving only $6,000 per year for his services and always putting his Alma Mater first, forgetting himself and thinking only of the future of the institution. Only recently he was given the rank of Lieuten-ant-colonei in thf1 army, a reward which is unknown to most of the students. Upon his appointment, the Trojan wished to scoop the story, but in an effort to keep out of the public eye, Bovard refused the student publication, divulging the news only to the downtown newspapers.
With a prexy who works a3 unselfishly for the University as does Bovard, and who has a common understanding of college life through his own experiences, the success of the University is assurred. Perhaps no better illustration of the generous spirit with which he serves the undergraduates can be given than the capable manner in which he handled the patching of the break with' the Northern schools.
Bovard not giving any in formation regarding his early* life the reporter took to reference work and found the Lieutenant-Colonel’s name in WTio’s W'ho in America. That publication gives the follow-ing information:
Bovard. Warren Bradley, born July 4, 1885. Married March 6, 1923. Student of U. S. C. (no degree.) Comptroller of U. S. C. since 1920. During the war served as Major, U. S. A. air service.
