Los Angeles, California, Wednesday, March 24, 1926 Number 114 MEN in authority around the University have told us that about this time of the year, that just before vacations, a current f petty thievery carries on about the campus. This statement has ien confirmed juding from the ^omplaints being made by numer-us organizations. For the past eek approximately eight cases ave been reported. • • • The most damaging of the cases reported are the missing of two typewriters, one from the office of the El Rodeo and the other from the office of the University News Bureau. The two machines represent an investment of approximately $150 by the Associated Students, and it is the Student Body that will suffer by the action performed. • • • Members ot the Deputations com-ittee have also fallen victims to this crime wave.” Following a recent ihowing before the University high .bool students, the Deputations Com-littee missed a large Trojan banner nd a silver loving cup that were used part of the advertising program, 'he banner was the University’s ad-rtising medium in the skit, while the up belonged and had been won by a irominent student who had donated to the committee. • • • MOCK TRIAL WILL EXPOSE POLITICIANS Skull and Dagger Pledges Unveil Campus Skeletons in Near Future.

Keep on ie watch for the ones who are do-ig these things and do not hesitate To inform the student body as to some of the failings of a great number of campus notables and organizations with political and social aspirations, the committee in charge of the annual Skull and Dagger trial is now busily employed in arranging this prosecution. The date of the trial has been tentatively set for some Friday assembly period between the resumption of school after Easter vacation and the 30th of April. Leland Tallman, chairman of the committee, is endeavoring to arrange with the rally committee to allow the trial to be held in Touchstone Theatre during a Friday morning assembly period. Chapel credit will be allowed for attendance at this trial upon the payment of 10c or 15c ad- Senior Road Show tryouts will be held in Bovard Auditorium, Thursday and Friday afternoons, according to Grant La Mont, wTho will direct the show. Director La Mont wishes to see all individuals having monologues, acts, or specialties suitable for vaudeville production, with the object of taking the best of the lit Submitted and incorporating it into a fast moving show. Each candidate for an act will give a short resume of the specialty and wrill submit his act to the management. Director La Mont says that the spring vacation will allow contestants for places in the Senior Road Show to perfect their particular theatrical attempts, and to prepare for a formal rehearsal at a future date. ------------a.----^ - report them for it is to your own | misslon-terest. Skull and Dagger’s trial is an an ♦ 4* + I nual event that is looked forward to with anticipation by the student body HE Daily Trojan wishes to thank j the many students that took an I ctive part in doping the California-C. track meet. It was by far the i st result that the Trojan has ever eived in a contest return, more tan 200 answers being turned in. • • • Coach Dean Cromwell, who aided in *,e judging of the contest was pleased •ith the Trojan dopesters and would ve enjoyed being as optimistic as any of them were. • * • • The Dental College students espe-ally showed an interest in the const and succeeded in placing James R ith the winner and Carlton Poor cond.

Lee Tallman promises a searching investigation that will be free from dirt, yet clever, humorous, subtle and full of withering publicity. The trial, it is intended, shall reveal many unsuspected suppressed political desires, wither budding hopes, destroy many social pretentions and imposters and provide, in brief, a modernized “slaughter of the innocents.” The pledges of Skull and Dagger will take the part of the culprits, wit nesses and officers of the law that are to be involved in the trial. The com mittee, with Leland Tallman as chair man. is as follows: Burdette Ives I>ee Conti. Ed Murray and Sam E I Gates. WILL DISCUSS SORORITY LIFE Question is Referred to Committee; S. C. Hopes to Join University Women’s Association. >pon >a. son. ow + ♦ ♦ that the 1926 Extravaganza REHEARSALS FOR MAID OF ORLEANS NOW BEING HELD Are all sororities to be abolished? This question is being serioilsly considered by the National Pan-Hellenic Council. The sorority question is also to be discussed by the Western Association of Deans of Women to be held in Los Angeles April 14 to 17. When the National Pan-Hellenic Congress met, the question of whether sororities were worthwhile or not was referred to a committee. This committee is now attempting to find out what sorority life really accomplishes. The report of this committee will be made in January. “In the meantime,” Eloine Truitt, president of the S. C. Pan-Hellenic Council, said, ‘‘it is up to the sororities to make good and to co-operate with the requirements of the university. “S. C. was not admitted to the Association of University Women. We are now on a two-year probation and it was only through Dean Crawford's efforts that this much of a concession was granted, i *‘It is the little things that count. Girls sitting out in front of the university in cars have caused much criticism by influential persons outside the university.” ALL UNIONS’ SHOW PROFIT Student Organizations From 20 Colleges Report Cash Surplus On Hand. Many points of vital interest to any university contemplating the erection of a student union have been made available to S. C. through the latest annual report of the Association of College and University Unions. This association is composed of all colleges and universities that have or are planning student unions and numbers among its members more than twenty leading universities. The information received relates to the method of financing, cost, sources of income and management of the student union. This information was obtained by sending a questionnaire to all colleges that have unions. In the case of the majority of these colleges, the finances were obtained through the students and the alumni and, in some cases, through endowments. The approximate cost of the buildings ranged from $250,000 to $700,000 ana their source of income is provided by student fees and the various businesses that are carried on in the building. In virtually every case the management of the union and the enterprises in connection with it are carried on by students with the aid of the alumni and a member of the faculty. These institutions are paying enterprises as, in addition to providing a center for campus life, the unions show a good cash surplus at the end of each year. Change Date To Order Senior Announcements The Senior class officers announce that an important extension of time has been secured for the ordering of commencement announcements. Thursday night at 4 o’clock has been set by the manufacturer's representative as the absolute and final deadline. Barton Hutchins asks that all Seniors who expect to graduate in all colleges put in their orders at once. “February, June and August graduates will all have to order their announcements now. Up until Tuesday noon less than one-third of the class had ordered their announcements. This means that there are some 400 students that must take advantage of this last-minute extension and get their reservations made at once. We are sorry that the ordering must be closed so early, but commencement is coming and these announcements will have to be in Los Angeles in another couple weeks.” This was the statement of Barton Hutchins, president of the class, yesterday afternoon.

BY FREEMAN HALL Co-operating with Dean Karl T. Waugh in the submission of the names of fifty prominent Trojans to the Century Publishing Company for the national college Who’s Who, the Daily Trojan has selected a list of students for the consideration of the Dean. The list turned in by the Daily Trojan is composed of undergraduate Trojan Junior and Senior men and women who are doing something distinctive for their university in a scholastical, political, athletic, literary or scientific field. The Who’s Who which will be titled ‘‘Prominent Collegians—1926’* will contain biographical sketches of the outstanding men and women be* ing graduated this year and next from the American colleges and universities. Graduate students will also be included in the publication. Four hundred institutions are included in the questionnaire sent out by the publishers of the Who’s Who. According to a letter from the Century company to Dean Waugh, Seniors and Juniors are the only students to be considered, preference being given to the last-year students. Besides achievements in athletic, literary, scholarship, political or scientific activities, “campus citizenship” is to be taken into account. Athletic prominence will be viewed conservatively in the volume, the tendency being to distribute the fifty honored places over every phase of student lif*. “Prominent Collegians—1926” is expected to be ofT of the press by May 7th. The list of Trojan men and women must be compiled within ten days, together with their activities and addresses. Some of those who are being considered by Dean Waugh and .the Daily Trojan are: Clarence Houser, Morton Kaer, Eldon Snow, Don Cameron, Lee Conti, Ed Murray, Bill Teetzel, Adna Leonard, Julia Suski, Ellsworth Ross, Jeff Cravath, Marjorie Rice, Evalyn Ross, Grant La Mont, Claire Kaufer and Lillian Copeland. fal comedy with a thread of a plot I iis season’s Extravaganza branched | and over lapped into the territory } the Senior Road Show.

All students expecting to enter the contest should get in communication with Dean Immel at once. “In Los Angeles there is a women's police court, which may be said to be run' entiiely by women. In the first place, it was largely through the ef forts of one woman—Alice Titus Magill—that this court, which deals entirely with woman's wrongs and wrongdoings, was established. Mrs. Magill was for many years deputy city prosecutor, practicing in this court; within the past year she has had charge of the office practice in the city prosecutor s department.” DRAMA TEACHERS TO HOLD MEETING Miss Tacie Mae Hanna Represents S.
