TO THE newy elected baseball captain Leo Guichard goes the congratulations of today’s Lookout. Guichard who has just completed his second year on the varsity has been one of the mainstays of the Trojan pitching staff during his term on the squad. He is consistant and it is for that valuable asset that Coach Sam Crawford places confidence in him next season.
After two years of protests, baseball has finally although not completely been put on the plane it should hold at Southern California. With the team left practically intact the squad should enjoy a greater season iiv 1927. The popular Dental College man who has been elected captain will do his utmost to make next year’s season the best.

WHILE we are speaking of Leo Guichard, it may he well to notice the fact that he is the second man now attending Dental College to lie leading varsity athletic squads. Bud Houser, the other Dental student and president of the Dent Senior class, is being honored today by the Dentists Hi appreciation for his leadership.
With Houser preparing to graduate from the Dental School, Guichard. another Senior, will step in his place and represent the Dental School as captain of a varsity athletic squad.
Houser and Guichard are not the only Dentists ^hat have made a reputation on Trojan athletic squads this year. There is one little fellow at Dental College that bids fair to rival the national and world wide reputation of Charlie Paddock in the tatter's favorite events. That man, Charlie Borah, is without a doubt the fastest piece of humanity seen on Bovard Field since the days of the great “Sir Charles”
Present arrangements for the evening include a number of short talks to be given by Dean Wallace McCook Cunningham, dean of the College of Commerce; Leroy Haynes, retiring president; Don Edwin, president-elect, and Dorothy Hayward, chairman of the Commerce Women’s Croup.

day said that he felt that the members would give the student committee a sympathetic hearing on the matter. He also stated that the administration stands ready to donate a suitable site for the erection of such a building, providing a way is found to soundly finance the proposition.
The Board of Trustees feel that it would be unwise to lower the tuition because it would be impossible to operate the school. They also feel that the ten dollars’ Taise in tuition which is necessary to raise the funds, would work a hardship on some students. Thef are going to thrash the question out from every angle, however, and do all they that can to grant the desire of the students for a student union.

DINNER AND DANCE AFFAIR FOR MAY 13
Paulais To Bt Scene of Snappy Entertainment: Dr. Keed To Speak.
:Speakers, toasts, a fake stunt, and dancing will be tne big features on the program of tbe first annual banquet of the Pre-Medical Society held at ftiulais, 741 S. Broadway tomorrow night. May 13, at 7:30 according to Henry Carscallen. cLairman ol the pro-creative gram committee.
It 7vou 'rested to
Among some of the guests, to receive the toasts and to give -h short talk is Dr. Edward N. Reed <of tht Orthopedic Children's Hospital. Dr. Reed was the medical examiner of the students at the University of Southern California two years ago. According to Dr. Alice Goetz, physical education instructor and who is a guest at the banquet. Dr. Reed was very well liked by the students here.
Kenny Faulkner’s seven piece orchestra which has played at the Cocoa-nut Grove nnd over the radio will furnish music. Dancing will follow the bnnqueting and toasting. As intended by the officers of the Pre-Medical Society. the afFair will be largely informal and in the nature of a dinner-rfance. Bob Rutherford, president of the organization, will act as the official toastmaster.
The purpose of the organization of the Pre Medical students, and of the j giving of the banquet, is eventually to establish a medical school at the
California.
Due to misunderstanding of the preferential system of voting, it was necessary in the recent election to count over and rehandle the ballots five Limes in order to determine the winner for the office of secretary, according to James Mussatti After all tbe votes for secretary had been counted and placed in four packets, representing the first choices for each candidate, it was found that 2377 vctfes had been cast for secretary. It would be necessary that the winning candidate have 1189 votes, but the vote stood: Klene, 823, Colwell. 696; Smith, 481; Green, 377. As no candi-date had received a majority, It was necessary to drop the votes of the lowest candidate and distribute her see ond choices among the three remaining candidates. This distribution of YGtes showed that but 246 out of the "77 votes cast for Miss Greene had stilted a second preference, and this distribution did not establish a majority. The now Lowest candidate’s votes, Miss Smith’s, were distributed among the two remaining candidates according to second choices, but still no majority cotAd be brought tbout so that it was necessary to distribute the third choices, which gave Mist Klene several votes ower the necessary majority.
Had the other 131 voters for Miss Car oil Greene expressed second and third preference, they might have con ceivably changed the eviction. The student body should be impressed with the fact that only -about *60 per cent of the votes expressed second choices and but 40 per cent had expressed third preference, thus causing The handling of the ballots a needless number of times.
In the case of the votes for the president of the student body, the system of preferential voting: putting J a one (1) after the first choice for office, a two (2) after the second choice, would not have been resorted to because Iceland Tallman had a clear majority at the first count, the vote standing: Tallman. 1447: Syvertson, S74. and Brown. 110. The necessary majority in this case was 1216.
EL RODEO HAS GONE TO PRESS; APPEARS ON CAMPUS MAY 19
Tentative Date St For Appearance of Year Book If Organizations Pay Up; 472 Pages.
May 19th has been set as the tentative date for the debut of the 1926 El Rodeo, provided all organizations pay their bills by that time. This announcement was made by Ed Murray, editor of the year book, who further said that twenty-three hundred copies would be printed this year, and that the book, as a whole, would represent the latest in annual design and content.
The distribution of the El Rodeo will be withheld until all bills are paid in order that the books of the management may be closed at the end of school, and all outstanding debts of the annual may be taken care of immediately. This is considered the best method of insuring prompt action from the organizations.
The book this year will have 472 pages with hundreds of individual pictures. Each page is a separate layout and has been handled individually. This is an entirely new departure in annual arrangement and is one of the many new principles put into practice this year. Furthermore, ample space has been given the various campus organizations, while all campus activities, including varsity, minor, intra-mural and interfraternity sports, have been given more pages than ever ■before.
The year book is at the printers at tbe present time, according to Mur ray and will be ready for gluing and binding the latter part of the week. If present plans go through, all the work on the volume will be finished by the middle of this month.
The cover is one of the most original and artistic that has ever been attempted here or at any other university ,and should prove nothing short of a sensation, according to reports. A unique arrangement cf the contents has been carried throughout the book, giving the whole annual a most pleasing and artistic appearance.
Only a small number of extras have been printed, and the editor advises those students who wish to purchase ;the book to make arrangements at •once.
