'T' HERE have been a number of graduating seniors during the past few days on the trail of the class president, accusing him of most everything from grand larceny to murder, all for the reason that their names did not appear on the Commencement announcements.

Number 152
VON KLEINSMID OFFICIAL OF I. C.4-A
Little did these people stop to realize the task that has fallen on the class president in preparing the announcements. In the first place, the president has had to urge time after time for the seniors to order their announcements with the result that the date had to be changed and a hurried job had to be issued. But the biggest factor is that the full list of graduating seniors will not be made known officially until June 5, and until then the class president does not know what names to insert in the announcements save the list that comes from the Registrar’s office, which we understand is only temporary, pending upon the seniors to remove certain grades in order that their names appear on the list.

So, dear senior, kindly do not go razing about the campus like a maniac threatening to start law yuits, etc., becausc the people who have handled your class have done it well and have perhaps given more of their time and made more sacrifices for you than you will ever attempt to return.

THERE are aoing to be a great many Southern California atu-dents going out into all sections of the United States during the summer months. The pilgrimage will begin within a few days, and before the summer vacation is well under way the Trojans will be in practically every state in the Union.
Aside from the track team which it carrying the Cardinal and Gold banner on the athletic fiekl at Boston next week end and at Chicago on a later date, the Trojan Glee Club will also be traveling under the U. S. C. colors throughout the United States during the entire summer. But of an equal importance will be the contacts made by individual students who plan on vacation trips in eastern cities. It is to these students that will fall the task of representing the University not in an official capacity, and it will be by them as individual men and women that the outside world will judge the type of student at 8outhem California.
To the students planning such tnps 7iv kindly urge to conduct yourselves as true Trojans and at all times strive to further the good-7vill of ihe University of Southern California.

Senior festivities will occupy the center of the stage in today’s chapel, the last Wednesday chapel of the semester, to be held in Bovard Auditorium.
Dispensing with the traditional processional, because of the delay of the caps and gowns, the Seniors will gather in the center section seats, which will be reserved for them. The services, at which Barton Hutchins, pres ident of the Senior class, will preside, will be opened by the singing of the University Hymn, generally known as the old Alma Mater. At the beginning and at the close of the services, Adrienne Zick will be at the organ. Also a group of songs will be sung by Mrs. Virgie Lee Mattoon, accompanied at the organ by Dean 'Skeele of the College of Music.
An invocation will be pronounced by Professor Carl Knopf of the School of Religion. Leland Tallman will deliver the farewell talk to the Seniors and the class history will be given by Justin Dees.
The address of the morning will be given by Harold Stonier, executive secretary of the university. At the close of the chapel, the “All Hail” will be sung by the assembly.
Customarily the Seniors have, for several years, entered the auditorium in a procession dressed in their caps and gowns, but because their formal costumes have not arrived the procession has been canceled. Seats in the center section will be held until 10 o’clock and the Seniors must be in their place by that time.
Fifty Cents is Price of Tickets For “The Tempest,” To Be Presented in Bovard June 3.
At a price merely sufficient to cover the cost of the elaborate staging plans, tickets for “The Tempest,” to be staged in Bovard June 3, went on sale at 50 cents yesterday in the Students’ Book Store.
This price is made possible by the fact that the commencement play is given in honor of the graduating Seniors and is not a money-making proposition.
“The Tempest,” one of Shakespeare’s later and, according to many, best plays, is not a U-agedy, but a romantic fantasy. The scenes are of the variety that appeal to many tastes Storm scenes on the ocean furnish the heavier atmosphere; mystery and magic result from the settings on the enchanted isle; love scenes provide the necessary sentiment.
The role of Prospero is taken by Joe Sauers, who, in addition to his work at S. C., has had experience in community theatres. Kenneth Sampson plays Caliban, the deformed, gruesome slave on the enchanted isle. Although Alice McIntosh, who plays Miranda, is only a Freshman at S. C., it is said that she catches the spirit and mood of the character she is interpreting with what approaches professional skill. Eddie Blaine, who has been prominent in dramatic work on the campus, plays opposite Miss McIntosh as Ferdinand. Mary Ella Brooks as Trinculo, the jester, and Sherrill Cohen as Stephano, the drunken butler, furnish most of the comedy element.
ELECTED HEAD OF ADVERTISING CLUB
Los Angeles Advertising Club
Bestows High Honor Upon Executive Secretary of S. C.
Harold J. Stonier, executive secretary of the University of Southern California, has been chosen for the presidency of the Los Angeles Advertising Club at the club meeting yesterday.
Mr. Stonier has been a member of the club for ten years, joining while in charge of the advertising department of a local bond company. He has served as secretary-treasurer and as a director of the organization, and has been on various committees of the Pacific Coast Association.

It has a budget of. more than $50,000 a year and operates the Better Business Bureau for the protection of the general public against fraudulent advertising.
Mr. Stonier is to be one of the speakers at the International Advertising Club convention to be held in June at Philadelphia.
An amendment to the membership restriction of the Amazon constitution, which now provides for thirty members permitted the bidding of three more prominent women on the S. C. campus by this honor organiza tion. Dorothy Baker, Julia Miller and Polly Black are the co-eds who will be initiated into the Amazons this noon at the Residence Hall. They were chosen from a long list of eligible women because of meeting the point system requirements, as well as serving the university in several phases of activities.
Definite plans are under 'ay for the Big Sister movement which is sponsored annually by the Amazons in the interest of the Freshmen women who are not acquainted on the campus. Freshman week social events will be arranged for by the group, as well as the giving of practical assistance to the incoming Trojanettes.

COMMITTEE PLANS OBSERVATORY TRIP
Committee on Extra Campus Activities Making Arrangements For Fall Program.
Headed by Mrs. Della Early of the Southern California history department, the committee on Extra Campus Opportunities is planning a trip to the Clark Observatory as the first event of their fall program.
Tacie Mae Hanna, chairman of the committee, when interviewed as to the nature of the proposed excursion, said: “The trip will permit those taking it a splendid opportunity to become acquainted with interesting bits of astronomical lore and knowledge. Of tremendous interest will be the lecture upon “The Stars” to be delivered by Dr. Mars Baumgardt, the well known scientist.”
During the past school year the committee on Extra Campus Opportunities copied a number of extra-curricular activities, among which was a lecture given by Mr. Harry Tuttle upon “The Art of China-making in the United States.” This address was given in the president’s suite. Another feature of the committee’s activity for the past year was a trip to Exposition Park for the purpose of viewing the Pan-American Collection of Paintings. It is the desrie of Miss
“If we can make the arrangements with the Registrar’s office in due time, we will try to get out a supplimentary list for the commencement announcements,” said Bart Hutchins, president of the Senior class, yesterday when approached as to what would be done about the names that had been left off the commencement announcements.
Hutchins went on, “We printed all the names the Registrar’s office gave us. I am sorry that this unpleasantness has arisen, but the committee in charge and the class officers cannot be held responsible for something that is entirely up to the Registrar’s office Solly Levinson will be glad to check up with anyone that has been left off and show where all the names submitted to the committee were printed in the announcements.”
The committee reports that if a supplimentary list were published tomorrow, there would be several names uncovered by the Registrar’s office the following day, so the list is being withheld until a later date.
HONOR PAID TO PRESIDENT BY BIG MEET

COOLIDGE PRESIDENT
Will Not Be Called On To Actively Serve, Though Invited to Anniversary.

A. was revealed yesterday in a letter addressed to Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid inviting him to accept the post of one of the honorary vice-presidents of the Fiftieth Anniversary to be held at Soldiers’ Field, Harvard University, May 28th and 29th.
This is the meet to which Dean Cromwell will send fifteen Trojans next Friday and Saturday, and which they have an even chance of winning, according to the sport experts The letter extending the invitation was wirtten by Gustavus T. Kirby, who is to referee the meet. By way of explanation, Mr. Kirby wrote that there will be three classes, of officials: The active ones, who will officiate on the field; reserve officials, who will serve in the absence of the active officials, and the honorary officials, of whom, it ls believed, the President of the United States will consent to be the honorary president.
When President von KieinSmid accepts the honorary post, he will not be called upon for active service, and. while his presence at the games is keenly desired, it will not be imperative for him to attend, the letter ex plained.
In concluding his letter, Mr. Kirby said: “The association would be hon ored if you, as president of the University of Southern California, a member of the I. C. A. A. A. A., will consent to have your name placed under that of the President of the United States, as one of the vice-presidents of the honorary officials.”
