FIRST OF SNAPS REVEAL STATISTICS
STAGED TONIGHT! on "ERS1TY AT PI PHI HOUSE
The week before at the Occi-dental-S. C. meet scarcely a hundred students attended. There are very few meets on the schedule at home this year; the team is one deserving of support. Saturday the track squad meets Hollywood and it will be its last big meet until they clash with the Golden Bear on March 20. That will be the Trojans’ only real big appearance at home.
Campus Garb To Be Worn By Seniors At First Snap Dance Tonight at 7:30.
Just what constitutes Senior Snap Day has ceased to be the big mystery of the campus, and concrete tacts are spread out for all the students to heed and act, if any. The hrst Snap Dance, which is just exactly what the former term means, for no reason at all, will be held at the Pi Beta Phi house, G47 West Twenty-eighth Street, tonight at 7:30.
Barton Hutchins, president of the Senior class, urges of the Seniors to be on deck when the fun begins. Dress for the affair xs “campus garb,” sans necktie, if preferred. Cords are to be the accepted garments for the men.
Formerly the snap dances were given once a month. In an effort to stimulate a little vigor in the class, Hutchins has succeeded in gaining official permission for the bolding of a semimonthly affair. They are to be dateless dates. The wo*ven are to appear automatically and disappear that -way if they so desire. And in turn, the gentlemen will come unescorted.
Plans are being completed for future dances. Some time after the Spanish Fiesta which is being held soon, a Snap dance will be held and carried out in Spanish effect. Spanish entertainment and decorations are to be a part of this aFair.

The men have continually complained they are even unable to obtain a clean change of underwear and socks, let alone the uniforms. Each and every man on the squad wears a different garb.
It looks like the pickup baseball •quad from some iron foundtry. Everything is said to be coming. That may be all right, but why not make preparations several weeks or a month before the opening of the season, so that the men will not have to wait until the day before their league game to appear as one squad. This conflict hat come up every year, yet those responsible always wait until the moment to make preparations »r the baseball season. The sea-on is short enough without de-tay.

“The Spirit of 1976” depicts an imaginative dive into the future and answers the question as to whether or not men will be wearing skirts 50 years from now. This accentuates the tendency towards masculinity which is evidenced by the weaker sex and the weakening of the mightier sex by such innovations as balloon trousers and other intimacies of “sheik-man” adornment.
According to Director Grant La Mont, the rehearsals are to continue for three weeks more, and the cast should set a new standard of excellence lor such productions, as they fully appreciate the ueed for a quick perfection oi songs and dances and are extremely punctual at rehearsals.
which is the number of pieces in the orchestra; by multiplying the number of tickets by two and by listing the number of patrons and patronesses, all of which goes to prove that the annual all-university prom will be conducted on a much larger scale than those previously sponsored by the Associated Student Body, according to members of the committee.
“Elite but informal” is the phrase applied to the affair by ‘‘those who know.” Elite because of the attendance of faculty and administration guests and their wives, lawyers, dents, architects, pharmacists, commercial and liberal arts students, and informal because informality will be the outstanding spirit of the affair.
“Selling like the bargains they are” is the report from Walter Hodgson in reference to the tickets. “Better bring that $2 to the Students’ Store and claim a ticket before they are all sold,” is his advice to Trojan men.
Three prizes obtained from J. A. Meyers will be awarded the best fox trot and waltz dancers. The committee who will choose the winners are Marjorie Rice, Don Cameron, John R. Kelley and Everett Miller. A large silver cup, a gold bracelet and a silver cigarette case with the university seal upon them are the trophies to be pre sented.
Speech students of the University of Southern California will open their activities for the year today when they present three plays in Touchstone Theater at 3:15 in conjunction with the Touchstone players under the leadership of Miss Tacie May Hanna of the School of Speech.
The three plays to be presented are ‘‘Gretna Green,” “Happiness,” and “The Florist Shop,” which have been very popular amongst the college students. The plays have been in rehearsal during the past two weeks and according to Miss Hanna, the director, they now are ready for presentation.
Many of the students have remarked about the lack of price of admission on the Touchstone Theater advertisements, and it was disclosed yesterday by a member of the organization that no admission price will be charged, and the students of the University of Southern California will receive two hours of iively entertainment free of charge.
According to Miss Hanna, the School of Speech activities have just commenced and they will last throughout tlie semester.

College Comics April Issue Includes Sixty-three Wampus Contributions.
Achieving a new high record, the Southern California Wampus was given a total of sixty-three reprinta in the April issue of College Comics. As added attraction, it was discovered that practically every article and cartoon recently attacked by a country newspaper editorial was featured in these sixty-three. It will be remembered that this weekly newspaper brought an avalanche of trouble on the head of the poor old cat.
Following are the contributors of Wampus whose works appear, and the approximate number of reprints, as far as could be determined by a speedy survey. Milton Booth is high point man with ten storiettes and Jokes. Grady Setzler has the second record with nine poems and storiettes. Others are: Leon Z. Wolpe, four; Scott C. Creager, four; Dorothy Davis, three; Joseph Duchowny. three; Milton G. Narwitz, three, and Ralph Holly, Joy Greenburg, Mamie L Leung, Olive McCall, Jessica Heber, Helen Scheuer, Maud Miller, Marjorie Hull, Elizabeth Curl, Sally Goodrich, Virginia Roed-iger, and Maurice Widdows each one reprint. The r^st of the reprints wens not given identity at the time the Trojan went to press.
Julia Suski had a cartoon reprinted in the March number of the Intercollegiate World.
Mynette Rich, alias Don Mike, gained a reprint in a very recent issue of Judge, bearing the caption. “Un conscious Grace.”
Southern California co-eds will have an exclusive monopoly on the political field in Touchstone Theater Friday noon when nominations for the officers of the Women's Self-Government Association for next semester take place.

■‘Marry Early99 Urges Professor; Cynic Airs Views of Co-eds
‘‘Marry early!” That is the advice given yesterday by Marc N. Goodnow to college students.
The discussion was directed at Mr. Goodnow’s journalism class in feature viiting and grew out of a consideration of the divorce ouestion as tieat-ed by newspapers.
That the time to marry is when col lege students are young, before their fortunes are made, was the advice given.

The only requirements for the offices are that the president be a Senior in class standing.
