Plan Of Alumni
Engineering Department Will Be in a Position To Cope With Leading Institutions.
Concentrated efforts of Trojan alumni and students point to a bona fide and separate College of Engineering for the Southern California campus in the near future, by virtue of the petition now being circulated by adherents to the engineering profession.
The petition, as formulated by the Alumni Association, will be submitted in a short time to the University Board of Trustees. Chairman McMas-ters, executive of a large oil concern, stated that the favorable action of the board will put the engineering department in a position to cope progressively with other technical institutions throughout the country.
McMasters believes that the securing of a College of Engineering is just one step forward in the program of the alumni, who are initiating a drive for funds to replace the “Old Red Barn” with a structure that will be more in harmony with campus scenery. Equipment for testing and research laboratories is also being anticipated.
Professors P. S. Biegler, J. L. Ludlow, R. M. Fox and C. E. Guse, rep resenting the engineering faculty were present at the Alumni Banquet Saturday night and gave pointed talks on the need for additional equipment and space. Professor Ludlow of the Civil Engineering department gave a talk on his ideas of how the proposed engineering building should be constructed.

We have heard much about the great athletes you have developed and will welcome an opportunity to see them in action against Western Conference and Missouri Valley Conference stars in track and field events.
Believe you are overlooking a big opportunity unless you send a team here this month.

NOMINATIONS TO BE HELD APRIL 30TH
Student Body Officers Are To Be Elected May 6; Petitions Due April 28.
Nominations for student body offices are to be held April 30, with all petitions due on the 28, according to a decision of the student body executive committee Tuesday evening. The elections will be held the following week, on May 6.
The student body constitution provides that the election is to be held in May of each year, but the reason for holding it the first week of May this year is that tt e annual student body presidents’ coniention is to meet in Seattle. The conference is to be held on May 20, 21 and 22. Both the new and the retiring presidents of this university will be aent as delegates and it is therefore necessary that the election be held at a rather early date.
Although it has not been definitely decided, the installation of the new officers will probably be held during the Friday morning rally period on May 14. This will allow a week for the checking of the ballots and tallies.
LATE INFORMATION SAYS TROJANS WILl COMPETE IN DRAKE RELAYS: OFFICALS AWAIT WORD FROM EAST
Houser, Dye, and Grumbles Seem Certain To Participate in 17th Annual Meet; Barnes, House, Smith, Parsons and Lee May Be Added To List.
BY DAVE FRED
Although no final action was taken on the matter up to a late
hour last night, it is reported from a reliable source that at least
three men, namely: Houser, Dye, and Grumbles, will represent the
University of Southern California at the 17th Annual Drake Relay
Meet to be he]d on the 23rd and 24th of this month at Des Moines.
At present, officials in the president’s office, who make the final decision, are waiting for a formal invita-t--—--

is probably on the way now.
According to Coach Dean Cromwell, Houser, Dye, and Grumbles are sure to go. Houser will represent the Trojan I. C. 4-A. championship team in the weight events, while Dye and Grumbles will compete in the hurdles.
Therei is a possibility, however, that Cromwell also will be allowed to take Lee Barnes, Ed House, Herschel Smith, Johnny Parsons, and Bob Lee. Barnes, naturally, w’ould prove a sensation in the pole vault, as he is now holding the American record with his recent leap of 13 feet 5% inches. The remaining four will run the four-man quarter and half mile relays.
At first the university officials were not willing to allow the Trojan athletes to take another trip as they have two big ones ahead of them. But after numerous requests, and after receiving a special telegram from the governor of the state of Iowa, and the mayor of Des Moines, they decided to reconsider the proposition.
Although most track critics agree (Continued on Page Two)

French Play Was To Be Given Today in Touchstone Theatre.
In accordance with the wish of Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford that the “Maid of France” be presented before the Alliance Francaise when that organization is entertained by the Cercle Francaise April 20, the production of the play by Harold Brighouse for the student body has been postponed until Thursday afternoon. April 15.
The Los Angeles branch of the Alliance Francaise is to be entertained by the S. C. Cercle Francaise Tuesday, April 20, and the “Maid of France” will be presented in Touchstone Theater at that time. Although the cast is prepared and the scenery and properties in readiness at this time, the directors decided that there would be too great a gap between the scheduled performances of April 8 and April 20. They feared that the scenery, if left on the stage, would become broken and that the cast would lose the spirit of tbs play.
“The cast is very disappointed,”
