VOL. XVII.
T T WILL only a matter of a *	few hours before the track and field squad of the University of Southern California will leave for the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet at Boston. Coach Dean B. Cromwell and Captain Bud Houser have the 6quad on edge ready to take the east by storm. They are going to need some good old Trojan cheers if they are to leave for their biggest meet with a will to win.
Fifteen men will make the trip in order to uphold the I. C. 4-A. title that the Trojans won last season. There was a possibility of seventeen men, but the faculty committee would only allow fifteen to make the trip. We are not in a position to say just what the two men that are left at home would be able to accomplish. but it would be regrettable to learn after the meet that they might have made victory possible in case S. C. is defeated. Nevertheless it seems that each year the task is growing more difficult for Coach Dean Cromwell to select his track team.
The east is eagerly awaiting the Trojan team and has been waiting to see Bud Ilouser, Leighton Dye, Kenneth Grumbles, Lee Barnes and tke other champions during the entire season. The above four mentioned men are perhaps the outstanding drawing cards of the entire meet and seem a certainty to land first places in their respective ei'ents.

TONIGHT the varsity lettermen of the major and minor sport teams of the University will be entertained at a banquet in their honor. This will be the first time that all the athletes of the University of Southern California will be gathered under one roof, s • s
It would be interesting for a statistician to gather a few facts, such as number of state champions, American champions, world champions, All-Americans, All-Southerns, All-Northerns, or whatever other classifications athletes are wont to be cast into.

SUCCESS OF UPPER CLASS FROLIC SEEN
Today is Last Day To Secure Tickets For Junior-Senior Dinner Dance.
It will also be a fitting climax to the Trojan 1925-26 athletic program, although the I.C.A.A.A.A. meet will be thc last event on the program. If thc meet were possible before the banquet the boys would have a real achievemnt to cheer about.

^ HE temporary plans made at the last meeting of the Pacific Coast Conference for the staging of a Western I. C. A. A. A. A. meet will without a doubt offer the Pacific Coast its greatest track and field classic for the year. In scheduling the meet for June 7, the coast men will be given ample time to participate in the eastern meet and then return to the coast for the western races.
It will also aid in determining the relative strength of a western athlete who performs a week previous on an eastern track and then on a western one. Another feature of the meet will be that many of the smaller western coi leges who cannot send teams to the eastern inter-collegiates will be able to bring their men to a coast city for competition.
Featured by a repast "fit for a king,” snappy music and blue and gold novelty programs of real leath er, the annual Junior-Senior dinner dance will bold the attention of stu dents tomorrow evening at the Hotel Maryland in Pasadena. Tickets for the affair are to remain on sale at the Associated Students’ Store until tomorrow afternoon.
The Junior-Senior dinner and dance is held every year as a farewell to Seniors. “Boots” Oudermeulen and Eloise Parke, in charge of affairs, have predicted that the event this year will exceed all other farewell parties of the past. Unusual care has been taken to make the dinner dance a complete success by the seven committees that have been appointed to take care of the details of the evening. A plan -where Seniors drawing the lucky numbers will be refunded the price of the tickets bas been completed.
Arthur Syvertson, head of the punch committee, has said that, “The cuisine served at the Maryland Hotel has long had a high reputation and the ban-queteers who attend the farewell party to the garduating Seniors need have no fears on that score. The punch will be good, too.”
Don Parker, chairman of the music committee, has secured Bill Stewart’s orchestra to play for the dancing Juniors and Seniors; decorations have been arranged by Pauline Klene and Eleanor Veale; the programs and place cards will be the result of the scheming of Gordon Crain and Mabel Smith; finances for the social function will be under the jurisdiction of Al Behrendt, and Bill Stewart will be responsible for securing the dance hall that will be used for the upper class frolic. Dot Baker, according to Eloise Parke, has done some excellent work in the nature of advertising the Junior-Senior dinner dance.
J. Barton Hutchins will be the lead ing speaker of the evening. The subject of his address is to be, “.The Opportunities for Moral Education Afforded in the Editing of College T^omic Magazines.” When interviewed as to whether his subject would be serious or comical, Hutchins refused to divulge the matter one way or another.

USE NOVEL IDEAS ON S. C. BUILDING
Architects Draw From Egyptian, *	Grecian and Old English in Search of Beauty.
Introducing novel and striking ideas in the field of building decoration, the School of Architecture has been beautified during the past two weeks by students of the school. Egyptian, Grecian, Old English and other schools of art have all been drawn from liberally in the search for beauty.
Marking the entrance is a sign of the type once prevalent in England during the time of American colonization. A frieze has been painted along the front of the building presenting gargoyles, and the names of prominent artists and sculptors have been printed in Roman letters. Also adding to the outward appearance of the building is a new lawn that has been planted and a plaster cast of a decorative appearance.
Upon entering the building a short hallway leading to the patio has been decorated in a style reminiscent of the Egyptian school. Colorful lamps are hung from the ceiling of the hall and all about the patio. At the north side of the patio is a stage that has been tastefully set and on the walls, are specimens of architectural work of exceptional merit.
All decorating was done by students of the School of Architecture during their spare moments, and the work accomplished shows much thought and knowledge of art.

CHAPEL PROGRAM FOR HEALTH WEEK
Urging higher and better standards of health, including not only physical but moral and mental health as well, Professor Ralph LaPorte of the Physical Education department opened the health day program in Bovard Audi torium yesterday. Leland D. Tallman and Dr. R. B. von KieinSmid also spoke on the topic of health.
In presenting the problem of health from the students’ viewpoint, Iceland Tallman urged more interest in intramural sports which give the greatest number of students an opportunity for development. “I wish you to remember the thoughts of this day throughout the year,” he said. “The responsibility falls upon you as individuals. The spirit of S. C. depends upon the health and the resulting enthusiasm of the student body.”
President von KieinSmid followed with a plea for the retention of health rather than attempting to regain it, pointing out that the nations that have achieved the most have been the most healthy. “Let our campuses be the centers from which radiates a nation - wide interest in health,” he concluded.
Radio Program Over KFI Will Include Best Campus Talent
As next to the last S. C. radio program, which will be presented tonight over KFI from 7 to 8, the program will be collegiate in nature and will present some of the best talent on the campus, from the standpoint of popular music, according to Hal Williamson.
The Varsity Orchestra, composed of Tony Harper, pianist; Babe Morrison, saxophone; George Byrne, saxophone; Bill Stewart, banjo; and Kenny Newerf, drums, will head the program. This classy orchestra will present popular and collegiate numbers, and their selections will be chosen from the latest hits.
Pauline and Helen Klene, popular Trojan duet, will sing “Tie Me To Your Apron Strings Again.” “That Sentimental Strain,” by Gene Johnson, and other similar numbers.
A feature of the evening will be several novelty numbers which the orchestra will present. These will include special orchestrations for the saxophone trio and other similar innovations.
HIGH SCHOOL TO PRESENT COMEDY
HEALTH PROGRAM DECIDED SUCCESS
Extra Edition of Daily and Chapel Exercises All Part of Heath Week Drive.
“Keep Fit” was the slogan on the S. C. campus yesterday as the Physical Education depatrment launched the most extensive Health Day Program ever attempted by the university.
From the time the Daily Trojan made its appearance on the campus until the close of the Circus in the men’s gym in the afternoon, the university enjoyed a program which emphasized the necessity of health going hand in hand with education. Not only students in the Physical Edu cation department, but faculty members of the university joined in making the day a success.
President R. B. von KieinSmid, Professor LaPorte and Leland Tallman spoke at the chapel period on the value of physical education from their respective viewpoints, and gave most interesting discussions on the subject.
The circus in the men’s gym was one of the features of the day, and onlookers were treated to a series of events in jiu-jitsu, ken-jitsu, fencing, boxing, wrestling, tumbling, springboard work and gymnastics, a demonstration which clearly proved the value of “keeping fit.”
The Trojan staff also did their part by putting out an eight-page paper with articles written by noted faculty members, members of the Physical Education department and some of the varsity coaches contributed to the health edition.
