NUMBER 83
MUST RE-HOLD Tryouts Continue 300 INVITATIONS ARE SENT OUT ALL ELECTIONS This Afternoon FOR NEWSPAPER DAY, MARCH 9
Wrong Type of Ballots Used By Classes Causing Repetition of Voting.
The entire set of class elections, held last week, must come up before the student body again, it was announced yesterday by Fred Pierson, elections committee chairman, after the elections had been declared unconstitutional on three counts. According to Morgan Cox of the executive committee, the election was illegal because of ambiguities in the old constitution, which were wrongly interpreted.
No date has been set for the new election, but it will be held in the immediate future, Pierson said. Ballots will be printed immediately to prepare for the voting as soon as the date has been settled.
The three counts against the election are: first, that it was unconstitutional for the executive committee to shift the date from the first semester to the second; second, that it was unconstitutional to use any thing but the Australian preferential system of balloting; and third, that the constitution calls for a majority vote in every case.
The ambiguity of the present constitution was blamed by student body officers for the mistakes in the election. Under the new constitution, which has been in process of preparation for some time, such difficulties could not arise, it is said. Morgan Cox, chairman of the constitutional committee, intends to present his new plan to the executive committee within the next few weeks, and it is expected that favorable action will be taken at that time.
It is expected that some of the candidates for election in the recent polls will not attempt to run again, but prospects are that the competitors in the numerous close races will again match forces.
A few of the candidates—Dick Halderman, sophomore presidential victor; Bob Beardsley, soph treasurer; Ruth Loftus, senior secretary; and one or two others—were elected by the necessary majority, but their elections must be held again because the voting was not done under the Australian preferential ballot system.
The executive committee probably will settle the date question at its next meeting, and Pierson will be instructed to prepare the ballots again. The new date will be announced as soon as it is decided.
In Extravaganza
Lack of Time Causes Extension of Trials To Today; Announcements Later.
Tryouts for principals for the Extravaganza will be continued this afternoon in Bovard Auditorium at 4:00 o’clock and will be opened for specialty numbers at the same time, according to the announcement by Ray MacDonald, director.
Tryoutees for the principals are to bring a song which they can sing, according to the director. This will be the criterion by which the acceptability of their voice will be judged, he stated, and no one coming without a song will be allowed to try out. The time is too limited.
Specialty features are particularly for dance numbers; specialty dances will be scattered throughout the program to enliven the story and to give a more professional atmosphere Thase who try out for this part oi the musical comedy are asked to come prepared to show their ability, and to be able to give an adequate demonstiiiuon of their capability of putting over their particular number.
Plans are still under way but are not definitely decided for the direction of the three different departments, the music, drama and dancing. The final arrangement for these parts of the musical comedy will b* announced as soon as plans are definitely completed. Until official an-nauncement is made, the rumors circulating the campus concerning appointments which are supposed to have been made to date are unfounded.
The Extravaganza will be produced in Bovard Auditorium late in March. Ray MacDonald is director, Stanley Z. Ewens is manager and Antoinette Larsen is the author.

Taking care of the dental needs of the orphanages of Los Angeles and nearby towns, approximately 23,000 patients passed through the clinic of the College of Dentistry of the University of Southern California during the past year; according to the annual report of Dr. L. E. Ford, dean, the Trojan dental school also gave dental service to juveline hall, co-operatin with Dr. Jfl L. Pomeroy of the County Health Department, and Dr. Sven Lokrantz, director of health of the Los Angeles city schools.
Final results are also soon to be released on several years* research work of Dr. H. F. Hawkins, professor of bacteriology in the S. C. Dental College, on “A Balanced Diet to Prevent Dental Decay,” which will, he
hopes, cut down the work of dentists. “This is the care of preventive dentistry,” he states. “Life insurance companies, all of which require examination of the teeth before issuing policies, claim that at least ten years can be added to human life by proper care of and attention to the teeth.”
The College of Dentistry of the University of Southern California has grown from 200 students before the war to its present enrollment of 640, with a faculty of close to seventy. The clinic has grown from six operating chairs to 150 at the present time. Twelve hundred graduates are now practicing in all corners of the globe, including Washington, Atlanta, Ga., Alaska, Australia, Athens, Greece, Japan, China, Honolulu, Canada, London, Peru, Mexico, and Manila, P.
