TICKET SALES FOR DINNER
Reservations For Commerce Banquet of May 18 Must Be in By Monday.

This success is due to the efforts of Don Edwin, who nas had complete charge of the evening, and who has arranged for all details in connection with the reservations, tickets and the mailing of invitations.

Well, folks, here it is, and we hope you’ll like it:—the one and only Women’s Edition, without a doubt the best Trojan of the year. Although white paper is ordinarily used for our great daily, we should not be at all surprised to see the next masculine edition appear on paper turned green with envy.

and Bryant Hale, whose candidacy for the editorships of El Rodeo, Trojan, and Wampus respectively were uncontested, and to Bernice Palmer, secretary ,and Paul Elm-quist, yell king, the Trojan staff extends heartiest congratulations and best wishes.

Y. W. Classes Profit From May Fete Here
It is estimated that the Y. W. C. A. cleared approximately seventy-five dollars on the May Fete held Wednesday afternoon on the lawn of Old College. This money will go towards the $200 pledge made by this organization to the International Student Friendship Fund.
The fete was a student affair, and it is hoped that the celebration of May Day will become an annual affair on the campus.
Looking over today’s staff certainly upsets the idea held by many people, that the average newspaper woman is a hard-boiled, masculine looking creature with a harsh voice and number nine brogues. Most of the co-eds of the Trojan staff are above the average as far as looks are con-national hon- cerned, and all are of at least a | pleasing and wholesome appearance.

They are a capable group, these women of the Trojan staff, and well able to take care of themselves. Yet, despite their ability and self-reliance, they are distinctly feminine not in the sense that they affct a “clinging vine” reliance on masculine strength, for most of them do not, but in less tangible and more desirable ways: in a certain graciousness of (Continued on Page Four)
