It would be well for the Board of Trustees to take the final ballot into consideration and if *hc students desire ii so, let it be so. ON TO THE STUDENT UNION FOR THE REAL TROJANS! ♦ *. + ^ OME Interesting legislation was O carried on Tuesday night at the executive committee meeting. The one which primarily concerns the working force of the Daily Trojan is an amendment to the constitution for the nomination of the Trojan editor from the staff with the provision that the man be a senior and have served four semesters prior to election. Knights and Amazons will be out in j force to see that there is no electioneering near the polls. Further infor-i mation offered by Ross is that each college will vote on its own campus, that the Commerce nominations will I be held at the same time as the Lib-' eral Arts nominations. The polls wrill ! be open from 8 to 3:30 and each voter : must present a student body card to be punched at the time of casting the ballot. Tf any of the candidates desire a j representative to be present as the : ballots are counted to check up on ' the results, they may be secured by 1 seeing Ross sometime before the elec-tions. This amendment was opposed by the men active in the publications while the remainder of the committee that does not have any definite touch with the situation as seen from the “inside” overruled it and passed the amendment. It merely means that henceforth if a senior be incapable to hold office and he is the only one eligible he will be given the position over another man that would insure the university a good publication. It means that the case will arise when not the best man or the best qualified for the office will be placed into it, and thus the flood old American axiom of “May the best man win” is relegated to the junk pile. m m m Tke people best qualified to udge any changes to be made in Plan Style Book For Daily Trojan Freeman Hall and John Hunt To Compile Data for Needed Pamphlet. To provide for future Trojan reporters, desk editors and news editors a complete source of information on all phases of newspaper writing, a style book is now being compiled by twro staff members, Freeman Hall, managing editor, and John Hunt, new’s editor. It is to be similar to the style books used by all tbe large metropolitan dailies. The purpose of this pamphlet, according to Freeman Hall, is to cover all points relative to general newspaper style, to punctuation and capitalization, and to definite points of policy peculiar to the Trojan. It is to be organized in such a manner as to give to the reporter chronological information for writing his story. Some of the points covered so far by compilers of the book are: The “lead,” or first paragraph of a newrs story; the general organization of a news story; rules of punctuation, capitalization and for the use of titles and first names; instructions on headline writing. Co-operation in the writing of the book is being given by Marc N. Goodnow and Miss Julit McCorkle, journalism instructors. Work has been going forward on it for about a week, and it is expected that three more weeks will be required to complete it. POOR GRADES MAY KEEP CANDIDATES OUT OF ELECTIONS Petitions Due Friday Instead of Wednesday; Basketball Team May Not Receive Awards. "V\ ith a motion made to adjourn, the student body executive committee was thrown into a heated debate Tuesday when it was discovered that some of the intended candidates for the A. S. U. C. offices were ineligible. This ineligibility was based on Section 1, Article III, of the constitution, which prohibits anyone from being a candidate for a student body office whose grades for the semester preceding his nomination have not been recommended. This discovery, brought forward by Bradford Trenham, graduate representative, was the signal for an intense and prolonged argument. Some of the members of the committee felt that, inasmuch as the people under discussion had had a good scholastic record previous to last semester, and since their lower record then was due to absence resulting fmm participation on the university’s business, they should be allowed to run any way. Accordingly, several different solutions were proposed. An amendment was finally proposed to require student body candidates to have recommended grades throughout their course, rather than just the first semester. This amendment will be voted on at a special meeting of the executive committee to be called Friday noon at 12:30. It is understood that if the amendment fails, several candidates will be eliminated. It w'as also decided at the meeting that the date for the petitions to be in should be changed from Wednesday. as was previously announced, to Friday noon. All petitions must be in at that time, when the eligibility of candidates will be decided upon. Several other matters of importance were also brought up. One of these was the question of membership on the general athletic committee. It has been understood that the president of the Varsity Club should hold a place on this committee with the student body president. However, this is not embodied in the constitution, so an (Continued on Page Four) FIND NEW TALENT FOR KFI PROGRAM The regular weekly S.

The 'ommittee, however, although Hot wquatnted unth the situation thor-tughly, sazv fit to amend the con-titution above the recommendations of the people that are directly *onnected with the publications. WOMEN SCHEDULE ATHLETIC EVENTS Entries for Women’s Inter-sorority Swimming Meets Close at Noon Monday. Athletically inclined women of the campus will take part in many athletic events within the next few weeks, when the following activities come into the limelight: the inter-sorority swimming meet, the inter-class baseball games and the annual gym party.

SKULL AND DAGGER WILL STAGE FOUR HUMOROUS TRIALS Honorary Fraternity Will Present Comedy Trials in Touchstone Wednesday Morning. To make definite plans for the forthcoming farce trials to be given in Touchstone Theater Wednesday at 10 a. m., the members of Skull and Dagger, all-university honorary society, met in the Wampus office yesterday at noon. Four short trials will be given this year instead of the one long one as has been the custom in the past. The directors believe tb%t this new form will make for better entertainment and comedy, thus affording a better program than has ever been offered by skull and Dagger. Two practices will be held in Touchstone Theater; one today at 3 p. m. and another Monday at 9 p. m. after the fraternity meetings. Don Cameron made the following statement: “Unless every pledge participates actively in the trial and the rehearsal, initiation of the respective persons will be held up.” An admission price orf 15 cents will be charged. Tickets may be had at the door. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE PASSES ON PLANS FOR STUDENT UNION Donald Parkinson, Architect, Will Draw Plans For Building; Southern California Alumni and Student Body Will Have Charge of Finances for $400,000 Project. BY HOWARD EDGERTON Accepting the tentative plans for a Student Union building, <and appointing a committee to continue the work already done, the student body executive committee took definite action on the Union project at its meeting Tuesday night. These plans include financing by both the alumni and student body, and arrangements for purchase of land and for designs of the building --——— ♦ itself. A summary of thi plans was given Road Show To Be Given April 30 Three Headline Acts are on the Bill to be Presented in Bovard Next Friday Night. A play by William de Mille, a musical review by Eddie Blaine and Wes Woodford, and a gi^nd finale termed a “carnival comedy" are the three headliners to be presented at the twelfth annual Senior Road Show, which will begin at 8:15 on April 30. “Poor Old Jim,” the play, will star Ellsworth Ross, prominent “broken bachelor” of the campus, while well known campus musical stars will lead in the other headliners. According to Wes Woodford, who is directing the chorus, the girls show much enthusiasm. Rehearsal work has been going on at Santa Monica for the past two weeks, the meetings being held at the beach to insure a full attendance and absolute privacy. Consequently, what comes off in the show, says Woodford, will be a complete surprise to the entire campus. Tickets for the road show go on sale today and boxoffice reports indicate a more than full house tomorrow night. Students are urged by the management to get their tickets or reservations early, as the show is only being given one night, and seats are limited.
