C. campus life, and is directed by Grant La Mont, famous as a puroducer of ‘Beauty Choruses.” La Mont has declared the girls of his act to be the most beautiful as well as the cleverest dancers on the Trojan Campus.

Alpha Gamma Delta Buys Home on Row
The latest enthusiasts to join tihe “own your-own home'’ movement is the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, which has just purchased a Dutch colonial house on West 28th street.
Although the deal was consummated a week ago. the sorority has just received the final approval of their grand officers. The Alpha Gamma Deltas will take possession of their new home in August and have it furnished ready for occupancy by fall registration.
Students of the University of Southern California Thursday are to express their opinion at the polls in regard to the proposed amendment to the Associated Student Body Constitution. This provides that a five dollar fee shall be added every semester to the regular tuition and the aggregate fund will go to pay the expenses of one El Rodeo, admission to all home athletic contests, and make up the Campus Chest Fund.
So many arguments pro and con have been flying around about this measure that the Trojan sent an inquiring reporter of an inquisitive nature out on the campus to ascertain the real current of student opinion. Not one of the people approached gave an unfavorable answer when asked concerning this proposition after all of the amendments had been explained to them. For instance:
Ned Lewis answered: “I think it will do away with a lot of wasted energy, make the El Rodeo a better book, and get out a larger rooting section.”
Bill Friend thought: “It has worked successfully elsewhere, and I am sure that U. S. C. will be helped by such a scheme in both an athletic and student activity way.”
Miss Evalyn Ross believes: “I am in favor of it if it is a separate fund in the LT. S. C. Treasury. It should
not .be in the all-University tunds Miss Beth Baker had a bright idea: “At the first of the year we all have money and do not mind such an assessment—also, we might get Dad to pay it along with the tuition Otto Anderson supported it because “It is a fjne plan that cannot be beaten. It ^courages attendance at all contests and is worth the money ” Miss Adeline Thompson was very much in favor of the plan since “It is the best idea that has been instigated for a long time. It will save lots of money.”
Marquis Busby replied: "I think upon whether this measure passes or fails depends the development and continuance of Trojan spirit. As this university grows larger and larger, it will be more difficult to sell athletic tickets and subscriptions, and every student should share in the support of these activities.”
Lee Conti feels that: “It is the best thing that has ever been proposed at the University of Southern California and should have been adopted a long time ago.”
Misses Lucille Coffin and Nedra Halfhill said: “It is a mighty good thing, and should go over big.”
Bud Welin liked the plan inasmuch as: “It is the only solution of the athletic problem at the university.” (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)
