Competition for the Crombie Allen trophy, presented annually on Newspaper Day to the best all-around high school newspaper, has brought a flood of mail to the office of the journalism department.
Entries received to date from the high schools desirous of winning the placque have show a degree ot excellence surpassing those of previous years. The trophy will be presented by Marc N. Goodnow at the luncheon of high school editors and representatives to be held at the Women’s Residence Hall.

Students Wanted By Earl Culp For Advertisement Work
At least three good men, five if possible ,are needed for work on the business staff of the Daily Trojan, Earl Culp, business manager of the publication announced yesterday. “There is a splendid opportunity for some hustling Freshman to work up to the business managership of the paper,” Culp said. “It not only gives the men the advantage of being engaged in a campus activity, but also gives them a practical training that is invaluable.”
Members of the staff solicit the advertising for the Trojan, and are rewarded with a percentage of their contracts. At present Culp’s staff is too small to handle the necessary business for the Trojan, and at least three more are necessary to complete the staff. However, Culp says he could use five more men. Candidates are not required to be freshmen, anyone in the university being eligible for the work on the staff. Culp is in his office, Room 221, Student Union building, between 1 and 3 daily.

Tickets for the Dedication banquet of the new Student Union building to be held Saturday evening, March 3, at 7:30 in the social hall of the Union building are selling rapidly at the Associated Students store, and the original number of 150 has already been greatly cut down, according to reports from the store.
As 150 tickets means only seventy-five couples, and the tickets are on sale at the low price of $2 each, it is natural that they would not last long, particularly as it is known that the ticket sales will not be expanded and absolutely no additional tickets will be available after these have been sold.

Train Chartered To Take Band To San Bernandino
Glee Clubs on Program at Orange Show; Pres, von KieinSmid Will Speak.
Again the Trojan institutions are recognized by the commercial world when the band and Men’s and Women’s glee clubs will board a special train to take them to the National Orange show at San Bernardino where they will give the afternoon program.
President R. B von KieinSmid will also be at the show and will deliver the principle address of the day which will be the climax to the day that has been set aside and designated as Trojan Day.
The train will leave Exposition Park at 9:30 in the morning of the 25th and will return after the program is completed. Four to six are the hours for the Trojan program.
The Trojan Day was instigated by the Trojan club of San Bernardino which is very active in the interests of the university. Special recognition in this field is a new wrinkle for the Trojan organizations and the university.
The musical program will be presented after the address by the president. One of the novelties in the program is the directing of the band by the seven year old mascot, Jackie Langton. Little Jack wil direct a complete group of numbers.
The band and the glee clubs will aternate in the two hour program, and will present several novelty and

Staff Appointments Made After Preliminary Trials
That tryouts for the stafT of the Trojan will continue throughout this week in order to offer a larger opportunity to those who have not yet given signed up was the statement made yeterday by Muriel Heeb, assistant editor of the daily.
Some definite staff appointments have been made after the first week of assignments. Jerry Duncan, Muriel Gantz, Claire Thomson, Dorothy Warner, Virginia Kemper, Hugh Andrews, Fern Pierson and Don Hamilton have turned in copy worthy of staff work. Regular asignments will be given them henceforth.
There are still a few positions open for new writers as well as those who have been trying out. These latter will be considered again during the coming week.

“This is to be a formal affair, marking the dedication of the Union and formally opening it to the students. It is the climax of the dreams of Troy, and ought to be a proud moment for every loyal Trojan,” says Catherine Colwell, who, as chairman of the social committee of the university is in charge of the dedication.
On the program will be featured the presentation of varsity awards by Herman Alber, president of the Varsity club, to the football team, who will be guests of the occasion. Buron Fitts, lieutenant-governor, will give the dedication speeeh, and President R. B. von KieinSmid will be toastmaster, while Bill Henley will be chairman of the banquet.

Red Bam To Go
As Plans Completed
Plans for the tearing down of the old “red barn”, the historical Engin-eering building, are fast on their way to being completed. The All-University dance, to be held there March 16, will be the last affair in the now decrepit building, and razing may begin even before the date of the dance. Departmental heads have been meeting to discuss plans for the construction of the new Science unit ,and the faculty preparation is completed and ready for the final authorization of the Board of Trustees of the university.
Classes now meeting in the Engineering building will, at a near date, be transferred to Bridge Hall. This includes the French classes. Home Economics classes, and classes in Civil Engineering, according to Professor Ludlow.

POLO MEN
All men interested and with experience in polo are requested to get in touch with Dale Payne Friday at 10 o’clock in room 229 Student Union building. It is imperative that all men who have had experience and are interested be present at this first meeting.
Royal entertainment for freshman rushees has been made the order of the day by all sororities, according to members of the various houses. Though the affairs of the semester have been ,in most cases, limited to one for each day, whereas last semester two functions were held daily the quality of the affairs is said to make up for the deficiency in numbers. There will also be, apparently, a less strenuous requirement of work in preparation.
Exceedingly novel forms of entertainment have been devised by the ingenius members of the organizations. Mexican or Spanish dinners, with flaming Castillian decorations and extremely yrarm foods, Martha Washington teas, with decorations carried out in the colonial motif, circus suppers, with pop corn and pink lemonade, and collegiate lunches, honoring “Ye Olde Campus Spirit” are all being planned on different occasions, as well as many other unique and Interesting affairs.
To prevent the occurrence of disappointment and dissatisfaction, a last warning is extended to the sororities by Josephine Campbell, president of Panbellenice Asociation, that disregard of the rules of that body must not be allowed. The laws against talking to rushees off campus making dates too far in advance, and holding rush affairs during the hours that Panhellenic has forbidden the practice, are the ones most apt to be broken, and sororities must be particularly careful to observe them.
Unique Program Scheduled Today At Chape! Hour
Dr. Charles F. Aked To Present Different View of George Washington.
Since Rupert Hughes uncovered the cellar of the first president of the United States, many new angles and much speculation have come into the minds of the inquisitive. The assembly speaker this morning, Dr. C. F. Aked, former lecturer in this university, has chosen the English attitude for his address, witch will make his talk unique.
He has picked the following pedestal destroying title for his topic, “George Washington, Plaster Saint or Merry Monarch,” from the context it would seem to indicate that the talk will be somewhat of a departure from the ordinary run of Washington commemoration speeches. Since the speaker is an Englishman himself, he is well fitted, according to Dr. Bruce Baxter, to make the memorial address.
Dr. Baxter stated that Aked is one of the ranking speakers in this section and, considering the number of brilliant orators in Southern California, that is about the highest tribute that could be paid to the speaker.
Frans Hoffman, bass soloist at the Emmanuel Presbyterian church and graduate of the Amsterdam Conservatory of Music, will sing a group of numbers. Professor Swarthout, of the College of Music, will accompany him.
This program is scheduled in the yearly calendar and is one of the outstanding all-university asemblles that are held throughout the session. Dr. Baxter concluded with the statement that he calibre of the program this year should warrant the packing of the auditorium.
The announcement comes from President R. B. von KleinSmid’s office that the assembly will extend through the 10 o’clock hour and that the 10:25 classes will be suspended in favor of the assembly program. In addition to this, all classes after 12:15 will be dismissed giving the students a half holiday.
CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
Elmquist Calls Committee For Final Two-Day Drive For Library Fund.
Sixty members of the Clean-up Campaign of the Campus Endowment Drive will meet this morning at 9 o’clock in the former office of Harold Stonier, where Paul Elmquist, chairman of the drive, will give them final instructions for the final two-day push. The drive, which will be staged tomorrow and Friday, will raise the additional $15,000 which is necessary to complete the $150,000 campus quota of the $10,000,000 Endowment drive.
Permission has been received to stage a monster celebration rally in Bovard Auditorium if the campaign goes over the top, Elmquist said yesterday. Talent from the West Coast and Orpheum circuits will be procured to give the entire University a solid hour of celebration in the event that the necessary sum is raised to complete the $150,000 quota.
Sixty campus leaders have signed with Eiquist to take part in the two-day drive. “We just need 15,000 to complete the quota, and finish the painting of the arch in front of the Administration building,” Eiquist said yesterday. “We have the names of 1200 students who did not contribute to the campaign. Instead of merely asign-ing a certain number of prospects to the workers, as we did before, we intend to let the workers pick out their own prospects this time.
It is believed that this method will prove more successful.
“There is no reason in the world,” he continued, “why we can’t raise this additional $15,000. A subscription of a little more than $10 per person will be sufficient to put us over the hump, and I’m sure that we’ll make it... Naturally, the contributors aren’t bound to donate exactly $10. Anything more or less will be welcome. The rest of the student body contributed $135,-
000,	so it seems like a comparatively small task for the remaining 1200 people to dig up $15,000.
