CLASS PLAY TRYOUTS ON
Good Parts are Open to Students Interested in Campus Dramatics.
Tryouts for the junior class play which opened yesterday will be continued today at 4:15 on the third floor of Old College, according to an announcement from Ray McDonald, N. C. P., university play director.
“There are still some very good parts left,” he stated, “despite the wonderrful tunout yesterday for the first tryouts.”

Harold William Roberts and the musical organizations department scored again in presenting the last concert of the semester Friday evening at the Municipal Auditorium in Ocean Park. Living up to his title as “the greatest college showman on earth" Roberts, using nine different ensembles, pleased a packed auditorium with a college program.	*	"

campuses. “Everyone is urged to tryout for the nine parts as the characters offer exceptional parts for col legiate actors and actresses,” he states.
Roberts presented the Women’s Glee club, the Men’s Glee club, the Trojan Little Symphony Orchestra, the Trojan Trio, the Saxophone Ensemble and the Mandolin club, ending with a stage presentation featuring the two glee clubs with the band in a medley of university songs.
Specia'l artist soloists on the program were Stillman Wells, trumpet soloist with the band; the Novelty Duo from the band playing pianoac-cordian and banjo, Herb Drews and Jack Cornett; Jackie T^angdon. the well known little seven year old mas-cot-director of the band; Zaruhi Elmassian. soloist with the Women’s Gie club, who recently had a principal part in the opera “Carmen,” and Wm. Ellenfeldt, accompanist for the Men’s Glee club.
Zaruhi Elmassian and William Ellenfeldt featured the performance. Miss Elmassian, sang two solos: “Divinities du Styx” by Gluck, and “A Birthday”, by Woodman. Ellenfeldt gave a humorous impression of the pianist in a dime movie in the year 1900—chewing gum and ail. He was perhaps the most singular hit of the evening.
Roberts is assisted in the musical organizations department by J. Arthur Lewis, Director of the Glee clubs; Bert Teazle, instructor of brass and stringed instruments; Z. M. Bickford, instructor of fretted instruments; and Harry Moritz, director of the Saxophone ensemble. Walter Zamecnik, manager of the Men’s Glee club, was in charge of the combined units.

Casts of tbe^tjiree jjlavs to be presented on thf Ternary progam have been announced according to the'Ji-rectort*r— The program is to be pre-on • Feb. 16. The three plays . th»r have been chosen are all rather light in character. They are "Bimbo the Pirate” by Booth Tarkington. “Modesty” by Henrteu; and “Lilacs” by Chester Mackie.

Elora Sorenson, director of “Bimbo the Pirate” announces the following cast: Bimbo. Melvin Cytron; Driscoll, Andy Metcalf; the Gunner, Percy Frazer; Lydia, Lucille Black; Robert, Tommy Graham and two pirates, Carl Reynolds and Roy McRann. The plot centers around some bold, bad swashbuckling pirates who capture what they suppose to be a wealthy merchant ship, only to find that it con-
tains a cargo of salt fish.
Students of the School of Architec-1 ture will entertain Dean G. H. Edgell , today, dean of the School of Archi- j tecture at Harvard. Accompanying Dean Edgell on this trip is hs wife.
The women of the artists student body are holding a tea in honor of Dean and Mrs. Edgell this afternoon from 3 to 5 o’clock in the patio of the “Cottage” in order to give the students a chance to meet him. At this time it is expected that the visiting Dean will give a short talk to the assembled guests.
An exhibition of student work has been prepared to show Dean Edgell what students here are capable of doing. A wonderful opportunity to meet outstanding architects is offered the students today as there will be

MEETING CALLED
A special meeting is called for Phi Delta Gamma, to be held at the “Y” hut today at 12:15. This Is the last regular meeting this semester and tm portant business is to be transacted
By Student Head
“We want 100 percent from everyone even if it is only a dollar,” stated William Henley, student president yesterday, on the matter of the student endowment.
“The thing that we want to be able to do is to announce to the world that every member has enough Trojan Spirit to contribute something if it is only one hundred pennies. We want a 100 per cent manifestation of Trojan Spirit.
We support the football teams and other student activities because we get some enjoyment out of them; this endowment campaign is a test of the ability of the students to back up something in which there is an aesthetic value.
Those who have subscribed so far are to be congratulated but there are a number on the campus who have either refused to do so or who have not yet had the chance to contribute. The work so far represent only a part of the student body, not the whole. The campaign is not a success until we reach the $150,000 through the means of every student on the campus donating a share of it.
“The last $20,000 ls the most difficult to raise. The general committee, the executive and this special “clean-up” committee now appeal to the Trojan spirit; that spirit of Troy which has built up the tradition that a Trojan never starts something that he does not finish.”
ARBITRARY MEANS USED FOR PHOTOS
If the students do not call for the proofs of their pictures at the Witzel studios sometime this week, members of the El Rodeo staff will select the picture to be printed in the annual.
Besides these proofs several orders of pictures that were made up have not been called for and many proofs have not been returned. These details must be cleared up this week be fore the studio is moved from the
campus.
Seniors who did not have pictures taken for the annual will not have representation in the book because the deadline, which was last Friday, is to be upheld. Other students have the rest of this week to be photographed.
As announced before, all organizations that have not paid their fee for space In the El Rodeo must do so by March 1. or they will be fined $5.00. Their pictures, also, must be taken by the end of this week.
Staff members are asked to report to Dave Bryant immediately for work. The senior records have to be compiled and typed and assistants are needed to help with this.
Group Loses Court Fight
Delta Chi Beaten in First Point in Law Suit* Has Two Defense Bases.
Setting precedent for Calirornia, it was decided recently in the Los Angeles Superior Court, in the case of Gillis vs. the Delta Chi fraternity, that a fraternity is not a single family within the meaning of the zoning ordinance providing that only onefamily houses may be established or operated in Zone A. Thus, the court decided that the Delta Chi fraternity cannot under the law occupy and use a house within the prescribed area
TO RAISE REMAINDER OF HJNDS
Six Hundred Students Will Be Visited; $20,000 Still Needed in Drive.
BY KARMI WYCKOFF
A one hundred percent representation of the student body in the campaign for $150,000 is the ultimate goal for which the special campaign committee, organized yesterday noon under the direction of Morgan Cox and Harry Silke, will work during the rest of this week.
In the achievement of this goal, it is felt that the $20,000, the amount which will have to be subscribed to reach the $150,000, will automatically be raised.
To date only a part of the students on the campus have contributed to the $130,000. That portion has subscribed 86 2-3 per cent of the total to date. That this makes a singularly poor showing from the staudpoint of loyalty and unlimited support, is the opinion of those in charge of the campaign. To eliminate this con-dition this special “clean-up * com i mittee of volunteer workers started unless it can show any reason why ; yesterday campaigning those who had
the law should not be enforced.
At this point the fraternity has two bases of defense: the first being that since the house in question was used as a fraternal home before the passage of the ordi nance, and the odinance cannot operate retroactively, the ordinance can have no effect as to the use of the residence for a fraternity house; and the second being that since the plaintiff has permitted the continued operation of a fraternity house at that residence for a period of six year ssince the passage of the ordinace, he has acquiesced in such use, and is barred from prosecuting a complaint at this late date.
The case will shortly come up in the Superior Court of Los Angeles, and will settle a very interesting and much disputed point, provided that no appeal is taken. However, both parties have expressed an intention of carrying the suit to the highest courts in the effort to gain their point. Should this be the result, then a final decision may not be reached for years.
Among the other fraternities in the disputed zone are Theta Sigma Nu, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Kappa Sigma. The only move that has been made against these fraternities so far has been to direct investigation against them by the City Planning Commission. It is an undoubted fact, however, that if the suit is successful against Delta Qhi, that similar actions will be instituted j against the three others.
not bee approached in the general campaign.
Cards, numbering approximately 600, on which were given the names and addresses of students in every college in the university who had not been approached for a subscription were seized by members of this group yesterday. Armed with these names the committee has pledged itself to use every effort to bring in a 100 percent subscription.
NATIONAL INTEREST
“This campaign of the student body of S. C.. is creating national interest, and is under the close observation of institutions in other parts of the country both by the administrations officers and the student organizations,” stated Cox yesterday. “If this campaign does not go over 100 percent from the standpoint of every student on the campus contributing to the endowment the students of this institution •wil1 receive a black eye from which they will never recover. It is up to every loyal Trojan who has not come through with a contribution in this campaign to do so this week to this special committee,” he concluded.
This committee has not been organized as have the others which were members of the four divisions of the general campaign, but is composed of fifty volunteer memers who decided that they had enough time between now and examinations to take over the work.

STUDENTS May donate
TO CAMPAIGN IN STORE
Those students who have not been approached for the subscriptions n*ay, if they are not asked to subscribe by a member of this special committee, turn in their donations to Mrs. Boet-ker at the cashier’s window of the studnets store this week. This is the announcement made by the heads of the general committee to the campus* today.
“It is understood that there are a large number of students on the campus who have not been asked by a committee member to sign a note or give cash,” stated Hary Silke yesterday at the luncheon committee meeting in Aeneas Hall.
These contributions are desired as much as those students desire to give them, according to the alumni manager, and in order to facilitate the “clean-up” drive this week the win-
dow will be open to CMtfibntions from those who will not be reached by committeemen.
Anything from a dollar up is acceptable' is the statement from those directing the campaign, inasmuch as a 100 percent contribution is wanted as well as the financial total determined upon. There is not a student on the campus who cannot give a dollar or a little more as some have indicated who have refused to pay, if that particular student is supporting a mother or is self-supporting and sending himself through the univer sity.
No excuse is now usable, for every student can send in a contribution to the cashier’s cage. So the aim is now to make the 100 percent goal, even though it is by means of 100 pennies in cash.
