“Informality—that is to be the key ward of the 1928 junior-senior dinner dance,” were the words Bob Behlow used when declaring that this important function would be semi-formal instead of formal as in the past. “Many will say that it is a crime to change from a time-honored custom of formality to the new plan, but it isn’t wrong to change any custom if it betters an affair. Informality lends itself to the spirit of the thing so much better than any stiff formality could. I am convinced that formality has injured the junior-senior dances in the i past.”
That the declaration would create consternation on the campus was admitted by Behlow, but he is of the opinion that a larger and merrier throng will attend the function if the men are allowed to defer from the conventional “stiff fronts.”
“The dinner dance is meant to be a farewell function given the seniors by the juniors as the days of graduation roll around,” said the junior president. ‘‘Friendships and contacts are made here which mean much to many people, but formality doesn’t lend itself so easily to the making of acquaintances. Informality does, and at is my firm hope that those who attend will have a better time because of the relaxation.”
He also indicated that he had talked to many juniors and seniors, and that very few of the people were in favor of sticking to the custom of the past. Bids for the dance, which will be held

Squad
Friday
Baseball To Leave On Oriental Trip
Mammoth Rally Planned as Send-off For Diamond Nine.
Starting on a record breaking cruise of the Orient to play Japanese teams, the Trojan baseball squad will sail from Los Angeles harbor on board the N. Y. K. liner, the Tenyo Maru, Friday, May 4, at 2 p.m.
Forming plans in conjunction with the steamship officials, the rally committee is making preparations for a monster rally and send off for the first Trojan team in the history of the university to fare off to the Far East. According to Shields Maxwell, chairman of the rally committee, the officials of the N. Y. K. are making every effort to co-operate in making the send off a success.
The Tenyo Maru, the vessel in which the team will embark for Japan, is the second largest ship in regular trans-pacific service. The boat is large and well equipped to transport the Trojan athletes so that they will arrive at their destination in the best possible physical and mental condition.
It was only at additional expense of approximately five thousand dollars that this liner was able to come south from San Francisco. Steamship officials felt, however, that the Trojan spirit would respond to the occasion to give the team the greatest send off ever given a college team about to sail for foreign shores.
The team will leave May 4 for an extensive trip to Japan to play the baseball nines of the leading universities and colleges of that nation. Although the rally committee is hard at work, the details of the rally and send off could not be obtained. The final plans will be announced in the Daily Trojan later this week.

All 10:25 classes will be excused for this unusual event, according to an announcement by President R.
