ANOTHER BEAR OUT
BERKELEY, Calif. (P. I. P.), March 16.—Dana Carey, one of the Golden Bears’ mainstays in the shot and discus events, was declared ineligible on account of studies late last night.
Carey will not compete in the Trojan meet Saturday, where he was counted upon for some points.
N important issue will be brought up tonight at the eeting of the executive commit-in respect to the elections to e editorship of the Daily Troll, and possibly when extended e that would effect every stu-t body publication. A vote on e amendment to the constitu-on will be taken tonight.
The amendment briefy contains it to be eligible for editorship person must have had five sem-jters of experience on the Daily, he bill further provides that the ominating committee for the ed-orship shall be the staff of the aily Trojan, and that they sub-it two names for the general lection.
• • •
It is a naturally known fact that the present system of election merely takes the turn of a popularity contest. In every election it is the best man politically equipped that gets the job. No one will deny that a change is not needed, but to step out of the pres ent rut into a similar one is not advisable.
• • •
Some of the good points offered to lhe new amendment are that the present political system will be washed >ut, that no man other than a senior fill have the position, that transfers .nd men who have arisen to prominent positions overnight will not be eligible, but that in its stead the position rill go to the men who have labored 'or it and are entitled to it by sen-ority. These qualities are undoubt-‘‘dly very good, but on the other hand ou will find the following:
• • •
The office may fall to a man who because he is a senior takes it, regardless of his ability to fill it.
A transfer student may prove to be by far the best equipped man for the editorship, yet he can never work five full semesters on the Daily and be eligible for the office. An editor can make it unpleasant for a man on the staff and force him to drop out of work on the paper, thus leaving the editor’s choice as the outstanding man for the position.
It is unfair to a transfer student or a Junior who may be by far the best man for the office, to ooncede the position to some man who falls heir to it by seniority.
It would certainly not improve the standards of the paper, if the best man were kept from Its head because it was impossible for him to meet such high requirements. Some requirements should be set, but an extreme in the case is not wise.
• • •
Juniors hare often taken the posi-ion and filled it well. May we cite e case of the world renowned ,.rinter. Charles Paddock. The great printer held this office during his unior year.

Troubles of 1926” will be X presented Thursday and Friday 'enings in Bovard Auditorium. Some igh class vaudeville and musical com-dy entertainment is promised by rant LaMont, who is directing the roduction. Don’t think that the Ex-avaganda will be the only thing on e program this week, and it is for at reason that we suggest that stu-ents wishing to take in the many ents planned for the Spring Home-ming week arrange a schedule.

Friday night will be given over to an athletic and water carnival at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, with the University of California teams furnishing the competition for the Trojan athletes. A wrest-lir»g tournament, a swimming meet and a water poio contest will be on the Friday evening program. There will be a number of students who wish to witness these contests, and it is to them that the Extravaganza management urges that they arrange to see the nrusical show Thursday evening and the athletic events Friday. There are many good seats left for the Thursday evening performance, whereas the Friday evening show has been enjoying a good seat sale with off-campus people.

ORIGINAL NUMBERS ARE FEATURED IN TROUBLES OF 1926
BAND TO TOUR NORTHERN CAL.
R. Allison Arranges Itinerary;
Moving Pictures are Being Made; Roberts WiljConduct.
Announcing that bookings had been made for a week’s concert tour of the S. C. band, Roswell Allison, manager of that organization, returned to the campus yesterday after a “booking” trip to the northern part of the state. The tour is to begin April 18, and continue to April 24.
The itinerary for the concerts to be given follows: Santa Barbara, at the Granada Theater for three days; San Luis Obispo, at the Elmo Theater; Alameda, at the Strand Theater; Berkeley, at the California Theater; Fresno, at the Liberty Theater. One day is to be sp?nt at each of the theaters except the first.
The thirty-five men who will make the trip are to be excused from all classes during the time they are away. Hal Roberts will lead the band. Several solo numbers, and a skit are to be offered as a part of the program.
The moving picture exchanges are co-operating in order to assemble a reel containing all of the moving pictures that were taken of the S. C. band during the past football season. This reel is being cut and titled' now, and will be shown as an introduction at the theatres w’here the band appears.	•
Mr. Allison believes that the university will receive more publicity through this medium than any other way. All of the expenses are being made by the band .thus eliminating any expense on the part of the university.
In order that the S. C. students may have an idea of the program to be offered by the band while on the trip, Mr. Allison has arranged for them to appear in the Friday assembly of April 16, which is the day before the departure is made for the tour.
Co-ed Organizations Will Supply Freaks For Circus
Rivaling the famous Ringling Bros., Barnuni and Bailey, the All-U. Circus on April 9th, sponsored by the Y. W., will be the biggest undertaking that the organization has attempted this year, according to Y. W. officials.
All the sororities, literary societies and various women’s organizations of the different colleges will put on side shows and main ring events. Popcorn, pink lemonade and all the other necessary circus accessories will abound. A parade will be staged the day of the circus, and an airplane will fly ovex the campus dropping handbills.
The proceeds will go to the Student Friendship Fund and help to send a representative from the S. C. campus to the National Y. W. C. A. convention at Milwaukee this spring. It is rumored that every sorority is planning to put its freaks in sideshows and in some cases it is expected that entire sororities will be on exhibition.

The original solo numbers by Gene Johnson and Ruth Burns have been announced by Els worth Ross, production manager. “Kiss Me Then Say Goodnight,” in addition to being a solo number, is the main theme of the play, and is sung by Eldred McGreel.

WAMPUS TO BE HERE THURSDAY
New Artists and Contributors Enliven Pages of Keenly An ticipated Number.
“We have attempted to treat the students to a treat of a burlesque on all the pretends,” said the three as* sistant editors of this issue of the Wampus that have had charge of the make-up of the magazine under the direction of Bart Hutchins, editor.
“The main theme of the issue will be most easily traced in the two center pages, where the Wampus takes the aspect of such publications as the Yellow Dog and the Razzberry. The institution attack in this respect will be the “huddle system” as used by— well, wait and see.” The editors promise, though, that it will interest especially the women on this campus.
A new artist in the person of Juan de Soto has been procured for work on the publication. Senor de Soto has furnished the cover for this issue. Another artist that has been added to the list of try-outees is Bob Sanduski, a College of Music student that has done much professional cartooning. Along with the rest of the artists will be seen more new wrorks and some works of old stand-bys.

The management has foreseen an increased demand for the new Wampus so they have ordered 500 additional copies to take care of the demand.
New Mexico and Marquette Universities are the two latest additions to Southern California’s unbroken string of victories in the field of intercollegiate debating. New* Mexico was defeated at Albuquerque, N. M., Thursday evening by a judges’ vote of 3 to 0. Marquette University was taken into camp Friday evening in Bovard Auditorium when the audience gave the Trojan team a decision of 47 to 36.
Captain Raymond Brennan and
Adna Leonard represented S. C. against the New Mexico team, and upheld the negative of the question, “Resolved, That war should be declared only by a direct vote of the people ex cept in cases of invasion or rebellion.” The contest was staged in the regu lar university assembly room and the students turned out in numbers sufficient to fill the hall.
The entire contest with New Mexico was very closely fought. The speakers opposing the Trojans had worked up a case very different from any met this year on the same question, and thus forced some extemporaneous work. Both Brennan and Leonard expressed themselves as being pleased with the sontest, and with the treatment accorded them during their stay in Albuquerque.
Modern youth was the question discussed in the debate with Marquette, the specific question being: ‘‘Resolved, That young America’s freedom of assertion in thought and action is detrimental to society.” The affirmative was upheld by Marquette. The S. C. speakers were Sam E. Gates and Arthur Syvertson. The local speakers took the question up more from the humorous standpoint, while the orators from Milwaukee entered upon a deep philosophical discussion of the subject and objective laws that the modern youth is violating. Approximately 100 attended the debate.
fornia, Berkeley, will make the week a California affair. Southern Califor-nie is scheduled to meet the northern institution in five events, three of them Friday and two Saturday.
Rehearsals are being held regularly and plans are being completed in order to have everything in readiness for the opening of the Extravaganza Thursday night. The “Troubles of 1926” will be presented in Bovard Auditorium both Thursday and Friday evenings and will be one of the features of the week.
