A special feature of the assembly will be a number of selections played by Al Lyons and his musical trio from the Metropolitan Theater. This feature has been secured through special permission of the Musician’s Union, and promises to furnish much entertainment, states Maxwell.
The following freshman football men are requested to appear backstage in Bovard Auditorium promptly at 9:55, in order to receive their numerals: Morgan Apsit, Nelson Barry, L. Beardsley, Harry Becker, Everett (Continued on Page Six)
Of the 150 tickets put on sale at $2.00 each for the students, only a few remain today. Absolutely no additional tickets will be sold to students, according to Catherine Colwell, who is in charge of the affair, as she declares that since the hall will only seat 500, and there are to be many guests of the university as well as many alumni present, the original number cannot possibly be added to. Among the guests will be the men on the football team, who will receive their awards during the evening from Herman Alber, president of the Varsity Club.
The Trojan Little Symphony orchestra, under the direction of Harold Roberts, will play during the banquet, as well as render several selections on the program. Buron Fitts, lieutenant-governor, is the featured speaker of the evening, while Bill Henley will be chairman and President von KleinSmid will act as toastmaster, introducing the other speakers.
Among the students who are urged to purchase the few remaining tickets are those Knights, Amazons, W. S. G. A. officers, and Pan-Hellenic members who have not already done so, for as Catherine Colwell points out that these students are the ones on the campus who are most interested in activities.
FEW TICKETS LEFT There are, however, a few remaining tickets for other students, which will entitle their owners to the privilege of attending this never-to-be-forgotten event when the long-cherished hopes of Troy are brought to the glorious climax of realization. Long, long after school days are over, the great evening of the formal dedication of the Student Union will remain a treasured memory in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to attend. There will be memories of long tables spread under candlelight and covered with flowers, soft music, and inspiring talks.

Inaugurating a new custom at Southern California, an assembly for women was held yesterday morning in Touchstone theater during the regular chapel hour by the Women's Self Government Association. Miss Helen G. Fisk, assistant director of vocational guidance in the State of California, spoke on the topic, “After College, What?”
Due to Miss Fisk’s extended study and research on the subject of vocations and her work with college women in regard to their professions, shhe was able to give advice which will be valuable to college women here, adccording to Betty Farmer, W. S. G. A. president. Miss Fisk discussed some "does” and “dont’s” which especially applied to the undergraduate women.
According to Miss Fisk, college women should not misunderstand the purpose of their college courses, and should not attach too great significance to the degrees which they will receive on graduation, as employers are not grading the work of their employees on this fact. Miss Fisk advises that there should be some1 kind of plan about each woman’s college course, and that each woman should figure out what she will do with her studies. Another point which Miss Fisk made was that women should not take anybody’s advice, and on this subject she made the remark, “Be sure you are getting the facts and then make up your own mind about the vocation which you wish to follow."
During the rest of the semester, the various women’s organizations on the campus will give an assembly once each month, stated Betty Farmer in an announcement to the women students. Next month, on April 12, the Amazons, of which Betty von KleinSmid- is president, will conduct the assembly, which will be held in Touchstone theater.

BY HENRY HODGES
The results of the class elections which were held in the patio of the Student Union yesterday were practically the same as at the former election, which was declared unconstitutional under the constitution that exists now. An ambiguity in the document was the cause of the reholding of the voting.
•¥• Seniors: Paul Cunningham, president; Alda Mills, vice-president; Ruth Loftus, secretary; Cliff Reynolds, treasurer; Harold Kispert, Peggy Partington, Bus Blanchard and Blanche Ansley, were elected on the executive committee.
Juniors: Bob Behlow, president; Muriel Heeb, vice-president; Phylll* Crowley, secretary; Marlon Garrison, treasurer; David Bryant, Helen Sauber. Ralph Flynn, and Donald Newcomer were elected to the executive committee.
Sophomore: Dick Halderman, pret-Ident; Victoria Sanderson, vice-president; Gayle Daley, secretary; Bob Beardsley, treasurer; Leo Adams, Bob Moffitt. Lorraine Young and Lowell Goode were elected to th» executive committee.
Freshman: Frank Munier. president; Janet McCoy, vice-president; Winifred Biegler, secretary; Ted Davis, treasurer; Charles Crawford, Lyman Beardsley. Elizabeth Henninger and Mary Ellen McCab* wer« elected to the executive committee.
The entire results of the election are Identical with the ballot that was held on January 15. which would seem to Indicate that the working of the other system of voting is Just as efficient as the preferential method that was used in the voting yesterday.
The preferential system of voting ls confusing to the voter and at th« same time is very difficult to count according to the opinion of many of the men who are in direct contact with the system.
