Spring To Be Feted in Sport Dance in Student Union Saturday.
Spring ■will take on an official air with the sophomore spring dance given in its honor. The dance will be the first spring social eveui on the campus and will fce of the all-U variety. The social hall of the Student Union is the location and Saturday evening is the time.
For the men, white flannel trousers and dark coats with sport shoe's will be in order. The women can wear whatever they please, but it was suggested by the committee that the coeds wear sport outfits and spring ensembles. If the suggestions of wearing apparel are taken by those attending it will lend to the atmosphere of the evening, according to Victoria Sanderson, chairman.
The social hall will be decorated with spring flowers and the programs will exemplify the spring theme. To still further impress the gathering with the thought that “spring has came,” Ray Hatfield and his orchestra whi#i will furnish the syncopation have arranged several numbers of entertainment a la Fanchon and Marco giving the “Spring Ideas.”
According to Bob Beardsley, treasurer of the sophomore class and chairman of the ticket sale, the dance will be different from any other social affair of the year for very good reasons. First, it is the first sport dance in the new social hall. Second, it is the opening of the spring social functions on the campus; and third, those sponsoring the dance are experienced, and are sparing no expense in making the dance a success.
The patrons and patronesses of the affair will be President and Mrs. Rufus Von Kleinsmid, Dr. and Mrs. Carl Rayner, and Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford.

WILSON APPROVES CHOICE-OF UNION
BY GWYNN WILSON Graduate Manager
I think the selection of the Student Union as the place for the junior-senior dance is an admirable move on the part of the junior class. It takes considerable courage to deviate from the policy of past classes and hold such an important event on the campus, and I think the officers of the class should be commended.
All of the furniture for the ball room has arrived and the place can and will be made very attractive for the dinner dance. The floor is much larger than can be found at any club, and, 1 believe, every effort will be made to make the dance a highly successful one.
Jay Lockhart, manager of the student fountain, is exceptionally anxious that the class be pleased with its selection, and has taken special effort in preparing the menu.
Bryant’s Orchestra Will Provide Music For Dance
No dates wiil be allowed at the second senior snap of the year to be conducted Thursday evening at the Sigma Chi house, a state ment by Alda Mills, vice-president of the senior class and chairman of the social committee, revealed.
It will cost the co-eds as well as the senior men students each twenty-five cents. Dates, if any, must be made after arrival, the committee members stated. Tommy Bryant’s orchestra will provide the music.
Dancing will start at 7:30 and end at 9:30, in conformation with university requirements. Senior men are expected to attend from the colleges off the campus.
Work Found For Students
Employment Bureau Secures Summertime Positions For Applicants.
All students desiring summer work are urged to come up to the student employment bureau immediately to file applications, is the announcement made by Al Behrendt, head of that bureau.
Behrendt stated further, that in spit of the fact that this year has been a particularly poor one in Southern California for employment, he and his staff are able to go out of their way to secure positions for students working their way through college, but to do so they must have a definite number of applications.
“It would be advisable to have the students have some position or vocation in mind, and to give us a lead on what they wrant. With this information in hand we will be able to go at the thing systematically and accomplish real results.”
REPRESENTATIVE WOMEN WILL BE W.S.G.A. GUESTS
Formal Spring Banquet To Be Held Tuesday, May 1.

Appoint LaPorte As Chairman New Committee
S. C. Department Head is Honored By National College Society.
In an attempt to standardize the teaching of physical education in colleges and universities, putting it on an organized basis with history, sciences, and other departments of study, a naUonal committee on nom-encluture, with W. R. LaPorte, head of the department of physical educa-Uon at S. C., as chairman, has been appointed by the Society of Directors of Physical Education in colleges
Meeting in New York City during last December, the society discussed the lack of uniformity in physical education courses. It was pointed out that no course was named the same in any two universities, ami that no attempt had been made to make the content of the courses similar. In addition, there was no agreed upon basis for judging the relative importance of one form of physical education or another.
The work of the committee on nomenclature will consist in choosing a broad skeleton of subjects suitable for a college curriculum, agreeing on names, relative importance, and content, and presenting this to the next meeting of the phbysical directors society.

Following Howie's speech the lawyers proceeded to organize for the campaign. Ranny Draper was unanimously elected president. Three vice-presidents, Bill Berger, Herbert Walker and Jock Cohen were selected to further the wrork on election day.

Another factor was the possibility of setting a price for bids, lower than that of any other junior class. This possibility comes as a result of the co-operation of the fountain catering department and general manager’s office. Reports and expense accounts of every committee are due today and as soon as they are approved, the price of bids will be determined.

The taxis will have no meters to determine distance or time, and the miles between the campus and the house will not be measured. Not even the distance from fixed point to fixed point can be determined. “And two cannot ride for the price of one.” This announcement was made late last night by those in charge. Fares to the fair from each and every passenger wil be required.

Imagine “her” in a sweater and skirt outfit with a real taxi driver’s hat on in the color of green. Now go out in front of Bovard to the "taxi stand” and see if you can find her among all the other co-eds driving dad’s car today.
When you see all the good-looking cars, you won’t kick if you have to sit in the rumble seat. You’ll pay your dime cheerfully. You won’t even feel badly if a big, husky Squire comes up to you and tells you not to park ln front of the Ad building. You will
