SENIOR MEN TO BE OFFERED JOBS Telephone Man To Talk Over Spring is coming and bringing with it not only some serious cases of spring fever, but also the All-University Spring Prom, which will be held at the Al Malaikah Temple March fifth, according to Marjorie Rice, vice-president of the student body. ‘The twelve-piece orchestra which will furnish the music is peppy enough to dispel the bluest spell of spring fever. Too, the low price of the tickets, $2 a couple, should have a particularly encouraging effect on the men of the campus,” said Miss Rice. lawyers, dents, pharmacists, liberal arts students, and all the rest of the Trojans will be given equal oppo: m nity to secure tickets to the affair, although only 1000 are to be sold. “In the huge new ballroom 1000 couples should be able to dance without being at all crowded,” said a member of the social committee today when asked about the dance. Humor of the most scintillating variety marked the debate held Tuesday in Bovard Auditorium between representatives of the University of British Columbia and Southern California on the question: “Resolved: That war should be declared by a direct vote of the people except in cases of invasion or rebellion.” The Canadians were most ably represented by Oliver and Murphy. S. C. was 30 strongly supported by the quick wits of Leland Tallman and William Henley, that the final decision read three to nothing favoring Sonthern California. Henley as the first speaker for the affirmative welcomed the Canadians and expressed a desire for the continuance of forensic relations with the University of British Columbia Oliver of the University of British Columbia opened the case for the negative by presenting a series of objections to the question. He was followed by Tallman. who again took up the affirmative case with a skill and plat form ease that rated him as the best speaker of the evening. Murphy closed the case for the visitors and presented an alternative plan which S. C. in the rebuttal demonstrated could very well be included in the affirmative plan. Throughout the entire evening the visitors disregarded this point, thereby breaking down their arguments. Anthony Asquith, son of the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, acted as chairman of the evening. Alan Nichols, coach of the Southern California teams, is pleased with the showing the debators have made not only throughout this season but in the past. Nichols has lately been elected to the position of chairman of tha Committee of Public Address for the Chamber of Commerce In Los Angeles. He is also at present directing the Times International Oratorical Co* test Alpha Phi Epsilon Enjoys Delightful Address On Plays ART TOUR TODAY FOR S. C.

E., addressed the University section in the Engineering barn at noon Wednesday. The purpose of Mr. Ware’s talk was to extend an invitation to the University’s civil engineers to become junior members of the Los Angeles chapter of the A. S. C. E. “There would be numerous advantages to be gained by such membership, "said Mr. Ware, “that cannot be given in a university’s curriculum. One distinct advantage is the establishment of an employment service for the training of engineers during the summer vacation. San Francisco has such a service, and if the need is found, Los Angeles will establish a similar bureau. Mr Ware said that Los Angeles has the third largest chapter of the A. S C. E. in the United States, and with the acquisition of a student sub-chapter it vrould be second to only New York. Five representatives of the Southern California Telephone Company will spend Friday talking to Seniors interested in employment in the Bell Telephone System, according to word just received from M. H. O’Brien, employment manager of the local company. A feature of the visit will be a talk to the Seniors at 9 o’clock in position at Museum For Interested Students. ‘*A Comparison of Sarah Bernhardt and Eleanora Duse" was the subject of the speech given by Miss Rath Helen Davis, guest speaker at the meeting of Alpha Phi Epsilon, nation al honorary literary fraternity, Tuesday evening at the Women’s Hail A very enjoyable portion of Hiss Davis’ lecture, according to Ray Br«n non, president of Alpha Epsilon, was her subtle and finely drawn interpretation of a scene between Portia and Shylock from Shakespeare’s Mer chant of Venice.” A section of poetry from the play “Egypt Speaks to Worn en,” written by Miss Davis, drew an enthusiastic response from the audi ence. “Miss Davis’ speech was one of the most intellectual and enjoyable i that I have ever attended.” stated Brennon. ‘‘Her performance anoweo both great intellectual powers snd un usual dramatic ability.” In addition to Miss Davis’ speech, there was a musical program consisting of a violin and vocal duet by Miss the season, the committee on extra campus opportunities is presenting a personally conducted tour of the Pan-American exhibition of paintings now being held at the Exposition Park Museum.

ENGINEERS HAVE EMPLOYMENT PLANS Los Angeles A. S. C. E. To Establish Bureau For Employment in Summer. SENIOR MEN TO BE OFFERED JOBS Telephone Man To Talk Over Spring is coming and bringing with it not only some serious cases of spring fever, but also the All-University Spring Prom, which will be held at the Al Malaikah Temple March fifth, according to Marjorie Rice, vice-president of the student body. ‘The twelve-piece orchestra which will furnish the music is peppy enough to dispel the bluest spell of spring fever. Too, the low price of the tickets, $2 a couple, should have a particularly encouraging effect on the men of the campus,” said Miss Rice. lawyers, dents, pharmacists, liberal arts students, and all the rest of the Trojans will be given equal oppo: m nity to secure tickets to the affair, although only 1000 are to be sold. “In the huge new ballroom 1000 couples should be able to dance without being at all crowded,” said a member of the social committee today when asked about the dance. Humor of the most scintillating variety marked the debate held Tuesday in Bovard Auditorium between representatives of the University of British Columbia and Southern California on the question: “Resolved: That war should be declared by a direct vote of the people except in cases of invasion or rebellion.” The Canadians were most ably represented by Oliver and Murphy. S. C. was 30 strongly supported by the quick wits of Leland Tallman and William Henley, that the final decision read three to nothing favoring Sonthern California. Henley as the first speaker for the affirmative welcomed the Canadians and expressed a desire for the continuance of forensic relations with the University of British Columbia Oliver of the University of British Columbia opened the case for the negative by presenting a series of objections to the question. He was followed by Tallman. who again took up the affirmative case with a skill and plat form ease that rated him as the best speaker of the evening. Murphy closed the case for the visitors and presented an alternative plan which S. C. in the rebuttal demonstrated could very well be included in the affirmative plan. Throughout the entire evening the visitors disregarded this point, thereby breaking down their arguments. Anthony Asquith, son of the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, acted as chairman of the evening. Alan Nichols, coach of the Southern California teams, is pleased with the showing the debators have made not only throughout this season but in the past. Nichols has lately been elected to the position of chairman of tha Committee of Public Address for the Chamber of Commerce In Los Angeles. He is also at present directing the Times International Oratorical Co* test Alpha Phi Epsilon Enjoys Delightful Address On Plays ART TOUR TODAY FOR S. C. STUDENTS Prospects For Positions With 1 plan Tour To Pan-American Ex- Seniors Tomorrow. Mr. Ware, secretary of the uptown section of the A. S. C. E., addressed the University section in the Engineering barn at noon Wednesday. The purpose of Mr. Ware’s talk was to extend an invitation to the University’s civil engineers to become junior members of the Los Angeles chapter of the A. S. C. E. “There would be numerous advantages to be gained by such membership, "said Mr. Ware, “that cannot be given in a university’s curriculum. One distinct advantage is the establishment of an employment service for the training of engineers during the summer vacation. San Francisco has such a service, and if the need is found, Los Angeles will establish a similar bureau. Mr Ware said that Los Angeles has the third largest chapter of the A. S C. E. in the United States, and with the acquisition of a student sub-chapter it vrould be second to only New York. Five representatives of the Southern California Telephone Company will spend Friday talking to Seniors interested in employment in the Bell Telephone System, according to word just received from M. H. O’Brien, employment manager of the local company.
