COMMITTES AT WORK

Political ballyhoo, stump speeches, and noisy parades will be the dominating factors in the mock presidential convention that is to be held in the gymnasium Thursday, May 3. The time set for the start of the convention is
7	p.m.
Committees are at work on several ideas for the parades that will be used to work up enthusiasm for the following convention. Old time pol-1 ities with Tammany tactics and Mark ( Hanna dominance will permeate the ' week so that the crowds will flock to the gym on the night of the convention.
REAL STUFF All of the convention work will take place on the floor of the gym, and the bleachers will be open as a gallery. Morgan Cox, general chairman of the convention, states that the whole plan of the idea will be patterned after tbe naUonal republican meeting that is held every four years.
The list of the states and the chairmen of the delegations are in the latter part of this story, with the number of delegates from each state. Each of the chairmen is to pick one less than half of the delegation number. For instance: Kansas has ten delegates. The chairman will pick four others beside himself. These men will in turn pick another delegate, and in this time of universal suffrage it would 6eem feasible for these men to choose the other delegates from the opposite sex.
There are a few of the state chairmanships still open and if any men on the campus want to participate in that capacity they are asked to put heir names in William Henley's box "n Huse’s office.
The speakers for the different can-idates that will be voted on in the invention are:

CANCEL EXCHANGE RALLY AT U.C.L.A.
Because of continued postponements made by student officials at U.
C.	L. A., this semester’s exchange rally with that institution has been cancelled, Robert Behlow, chairman of the deputations committee, announced yesterday.
Pomona’s program, tentatively scheduled for the middle part of May, still holds good, Behlow said. This program, however, may be checked off as well because of the present confusion in lining up a suitable date.
Exchange rallies with California and Pomona have been carried on in past years and it is a disappointment according to Behlow, to see them given up at present.
The deputation chairman would not state whether the California cancellation would place a future ban on exchange rallies. Behlow has had a representative program prepared for the past month, hut it is definitely settled that it will not be presented at California this year.
Plans for a spring banquet are being formulated by Professional Panhellenic association under the direction of Andree di Nola, vice-president of the organization.
Although the exact date for the affair has not yet been definitely determined, the banquet is to be held in the Student Union. Honor guests who are being invited include Judge Georgia Bullock of the Superior court Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford and Mrs. R. B. von KieinSmid.

In addition to those mentioned, each professional sorority which is a member of the association is to invite an outstanding alumna of its group as an honor guest, representing her particular field of activity.
A recent accomplishment of the executive committee of the association was the revision of the constitution and the election of officers. The officers are: president, Zeta Phi Eta, represented by Charlotte Sultan; vice-president, Lambda Kappa Sigma. Andree dl Nola; secretary, Kappa Beta Pi, Viola Foster; and treasurer, Pi Chi Theta, Frances Hawley.
The president, Miss Sultan, announces that Professional Panhellenic now has a desk in the Women’s Organization’s room in the Student Union.

She also announces that a list of the regular office hours and a notation as to which member of the executive committee is present during each period is posted in the Women’s Organization room.

polls in their separate precincts will be Commerce, Speech, Music, Dental, Pharmacy and Architecture. Pierson has made careful arrangements to safeguard the ballots, and a heavy vote is predicted.
Under the old constitution, the government, of the College of Liberal Arts was combidfd with the ailuni-versity government.
