‘NOVELTIES’
Many Ballads Give Extravaganza Much Light And Shade.
“FLOATING U” SCENE
Costumes And Make-up Color Setting; Lights Emphasize Contrasts.
BY KARMI WYCKOFF
“Mindonao Moon,” “Smiling Moon,” “Paper Doll,” and “One Kiss” are some of the songs which will be the high lights of “Novelties of ’28,” the Extravaganza which will be presented in Bovard Auditorium, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings of this week with Ray MacDonald, U. C. P., as director-general.
“Pretty Little Thing,” the theme number, will be sung several times throughout the musical comedy.
In a number of these songs the principals will be supported by the chouses in appropriate costume and with snappy dances suggested by the music and lyrics of the songs.
The majority of the songs come from the pen of the author, Antionette Larsen, while the dances, both specialties and chorus numbers, have been created by Jean Maschio. Costumes for the entire production are under the supervision of Claire Adered mistress of the wardrobe.
TEDRICK SINGS “SUE” “Stowaway Sue” the introductory song for Sue Morgan, the part taken by Charlyn Tedrick, tells where she comes from, why she came to Broadway and why she is a stowaway on the “Foraye Floating U.” As she sings this number the Bowery chorus appears dressed in black and orange stripped sweaters and skirts with Beret tarns.
“Tia Juana Blues,” sung by Patrick, the Irishman who is picked up adrift at sea, is reminiscent of his adventures in that city. Chorines in this number wear an unusual Spanish type of costume which is suggestive of the tempo and temperature of that lively city.
Sabra Webster, impersonated by Gwendolyn Rickard, in the song. "Someday,” vents her wrath on Jack Raymond, her heart’* desire, who has fallen for the unsophisticated personality of Sue Morgan. If one can imagine Greta Garbo singing blues, one may have a good picture of what this number will be like.

Basketball Captain Stars Again As First To Goal Post; Shields Maxwell Limps To Consolation Prize That Is Offered By Organization.
Jack Bruner is the most popular man on the Trojan campus. He proved it yesterday when the Daffy Club counted votes in its recent Leap Week contest, and found that the handsome basketball captain had defeated a large and capable field by a handy
♦margin.
Bruner will be awarded a handsome trophy, emblematic of his sensational victory, at the Montmartre cafe on the night of Friday, March 23. He will be the guest of the club at that time. Shields Maxwell who polled the lowest number (fi votes in the contest, will receive the consolation prize at the same time, officials of the Daffy club announced.
SNAP MARKS NEW WAMP
“Campus Etiquette” Portrays Proper Attitude to Adopt for Every Occasion
“Campus Etiquette” will be one of the feature articles of the March issue of the Wampus, which is to appear on the campus this Thursday. The article, written by Amelia Poster," is destined to give the college, student a true insight on the atrocities which have been inveigled in the past under the title of another etiquette book. Emily Post would turn over in her grave (provided she is dead as of yet) if she were to learn of the significance of this startling new expose (pronounced ex-posay, not expoze) on campus etiquette.
The true author of the article is not known. He probably fears slander and libel suits, and so he has written his little ditty cloaked in the proverbial disguise of anonymitiy. The writer has signed the manu script under a second alias known as “B. A. B.” Be that as it may, the article is deemed the cleverest of the year not only by Bryant Hale, the Wamp’s enthusiastic editor, but also by Paul Slater, Jessica Heber and others on the staff who have scanned its contents. It is expected to create some kind of a furore when Tommy Wamp glides (not prowls) next Thursday on the Trojan lawn.
Bachelors To Meet At Sigma Tau House Today Noon.
Members of the Bachelor’s club will meet today at the Sigma Tau house, 2719 Ellendale Place, for lunch, Chase Burns, president of the organization, announced yesterday. All members must be present, Burns said, as discussion for new members will come up shortly, and prospects may be nominated at this time. This is the first meeting of the club this semester. Other luncheons at other fraternity houses are planned for the rest of the semester.
The fact that Bruner captained the first title-winning Trojan hoop team, and in so doing was selected All-Coast center, probably had a lot to do with his election, club members believe. At any rate the Daffy club, using a scoring system which it had devised for the week, pronounced him victor.
Friday night is to be “Daffy Club night” at the Montmartre. In addition to the awarding of the trophies, Bill Harvey, secretary of the club, is to be guest of honor. Several novel features, including unique favors for each Trojan co-ed present, have been arranged for by the clubites, the members announced.
The popularity contest, which was one of the features of “Leap Week”, which the club sponsored, proved one of the most outstanding campus events of the year. A number of noteworthy candidates were entered in the race, and Bruner was rated as a “dark horse’ when the contest started. The fact that the championship series with the University of Washington occurred just before Leap Week shoved Bruner into the limelight, and pushed him into first position, “Tiny” Sandholt, keeper of the ballot box, announced yesterday.

“Social Research in Criminology,” an article written by Florian Znan iecki, who is a professor of sociology at the University of Poznan, Poland, outlines some of the types of crime, their motive, and the value of social research as a foundaiton for legislation and reform. European people and war conditions are especially exploited.
The second article is the work of a sociology profesor in Lucknow University, India, namely, Radhakamel Mukerjee, and titled “Social Ecology of a River Valley.” It contains the reasons for the social and economical life that goes on in the river area and remedies for some of the unfavorable conditions. This professor has been invited to visit S. C. this summer and will teach at the University of Wisconsin next winter.
Three of the professors in the sociology department at S. C. were authors of articles that appeared in this issue. Dr. Clarence March Case wrote on “Scholarship in Sociology”; Dr. Erie Fiske Young, on “Lynching and Political Areas”; and Dr. Emory S. Bogardus had published the contents of his recent speech on “Mexican Immigrants and the Quota.” The first showed the present trend of sociology scholarship in that .one tries to understand society instead of what men write about society, and also the democratization of the whole educational system. Dr. Young’s article expressed the social and political factors and their relation to lynching in certain areas.

DATE IS SET FOR WAMPUS PICTURE
Last Chance Is Given For the Staff To Appear In El Rodeo Picture.
Every member of the Wampus staff is urged to be present in the patio of the Student Union building at 10:00 o’clock tomorrow morning so that the staff picture for the El Rodeo may be taken. This will be absolutely the last chance for the picture to be taken says Bryant Hale, who asks that the staff cooperate this time, as he has spent much time and trouble in his previous efforts to have the picture taken.
“This is as much a part of the duty of a conscientious staff member as it is to get his copy in on time. The lack of co-operation so far in this matter has also caused waste of time and trouble for the photographer. I want to see every loyal Wampus staff memfber in the court of the Student Union sharply at 10:00 o’clock tomorrow without fail, and this is not a Wampus joke, says Kale.
TROJAN MEN WIN DEBATE
Pomona Defeat Gives S. C. Debaters Eighth Straight Victory.
By defeating Pomona three to nothing here last Friday night, Coach Alan Nichols’ debaters won their eighth straight debate of this season and as yet have not suffered one defeat. The Trojans took the negative stand on the question, “Resolved, that American investors and their investments in foreign nations should depend for protection only on the government in which the investment is made.”
Coach Nichols drilled his men for this debate in an effort to continue the winning streak and' he picked J. Elwood Harmon and Milton Dickens to represent Southern California against Gruocher and Lawrence White of Pomona. Lawrence White was the first speaker of the evening and opened the debate (by briefly discussing the question and by opening the affirmative arguments. Harmon was the first negative speaker and after welcoming the Pomona debates and refuting the arguments given by White in his constructive address he continued and outlined the negative arguments. Groucher and Dickens were the second speakers for their respective sides and Dickens completely outclassed the Pomona second speaker.
The rebuttal speeches were characterized by good speaking and quick thinking by the men of both sides. The speeches of the Pomona men were serious in nature while those of the Trojan debaters were interspersed with remarks of humor. Harmon and Dickens had the upperhand of the entire debate and time after time the negative team refuted the arguments of the affirmative team and this resulted in the unanimous vote. Coach Nichols is the man (behind the scenes who has made it possible that these eight victories have been realized.
Southern California has participated in twelve debates this season and have met and defeated some of the best teams of the Pacific Coast. Eight of the debates were decision debates and four were non-decision debates. Out of the past twenty-one judges’ decisions the Trojans have received nineteen of them. This is the best record that the local forensic teams has made in several years and Coach Nichols, as well as the members of the team, is to be commended for this record.
Charles Wrigh^ debate manager, was chairman of the debate which was decided by Lt. Colonel Le Roy Smith, Allan Dutcher and W. F. Haussler.
