First National Will Make
Screen Tests Of Students
First National Studios, of Burbank, California, are seeking ten college men who can successfully pass screen personality, make-up. and ability tests. Tests for men on the S. C. campus will be held this morning between 12:00 and 1:00 o’clock at 855 West 36th Street
Tests will be private in order that each man will have every opportunity to appear at his best before the camera. The unit making the test will carry nearly 200 makeup combinations and preparations. Mel Burns, make-up artist, Ned Connor, camera man, and Ned Holmes, director ,wili have charge of the tests.
The purpose of these tests is quoted from the “Daily Princeton-ian.” “The director of First National Pictures have planned this campaign in order that they may make their college pictures approach Campus life more closely. College
pictures have hitherto been lurid representations of insipid youths in wide pants and coon coats, with a passion for racing cars and all-night parties ,to say nothing of glorious dips in sunken pools and four-course breakfasts served in true hotel style. Star halfbacks who .after a cloud on their eligibility has been squelched, rush into the game and by their sole efforts win it, are also no*, altogether unknown.”
By taking campus men and putting them in “the movies” it is hoped to make more realistic th| type of picture which will reflect campus life.
Thirty eastern college universities have been visited in this campaign. In each case ten men were tested. From all men tested the fina\ ten will be chosen and will be given a chance to work in pictures for First National Studios.

Friday’s Trojan was a real tribute to the ability of the Southern California co-ed journalists. It was a good paper. The editor poked his head in the door once to throw in a notice that had been left in his mail box, but the reception he got was not conducive to his remaining, so he left. Hence the paper was the work of the women of the staff, from the assigning of the very first story to the proofing of the final page. Some day Southern California will have a woman editor.

In fairness to those talked-of candidates who were finally
barred from political competition because of ineligibility it is no more than right to say that they should not be automatically placed in the category of “dumbbells”. When a man is carrying as much work as some them were a “C” average, which was held by many of them, is no disgrace. Hank Rohr had a 1.419 standing, making him eight-tenths of a per
cent short of a “C” plus grade. Pinkley’s ineligibility was due to
the fact that the scholarship committee did not meet in time to give him credit for some work he had made up. Houlgate had better than a “C” average and would probably have been eligible if only his last semester of work had been counted.
* * *
Another candidate was kept out because of illness, we are told. This is not to cry about what has happened. The nominations are over; no one is trying to undo what has been done, as far as this year’s campaign is concerned. But we do not want it said of these people, meaning any of the disqualified candidates, that they are poor students or that there is any reflection at all cast upon them or tb.eir ability.

The other night the Executive Sommittee brought up the matter of reinstating Hussey and making him eligible for track competition. It cannot be done too soon. We believe that Jim has “been more sinned against than sinning.” The letter that was returned from Stanford in answer to Tallman’s letter does not, in our opirion, give an entirely satisfactory explanation for the articles in the Stanford daily.

COMMITTEE IN CHARGE STATES ELECTION PLAN
Polls Will Be Open Thursday From 8:00 to 3:30; Colleges Vote Separately.
PLANS ARE DRAWN
Trojan Knights and Amazons To Patrol All Booths During Voting Hours.
Two numbered ballots, on which will appear the names of all candidates elected by direct vote of the student body, which will be handed to voters in the election of A. S. U. S. C. officers next Thursday, May 19, when the polls will be open from 8:00 until 3:30. Counting of ballots will commence at 4:00 that afternoon.
On the first 6t the two baHots will appear the names of all candidates for associated student body secretary, Trojan editor, El Rodeo editor and yell leader. Names of candidates for the executive committee will be listed on the second ballot The preferential system will not be for the offices because there are not more than three candidates for each office. In the case of tbe executive committee, this system will not operate, by interpretation of the executive committee. Marking of the ballots will be, then, by the Australian cross, or check.
SEPARATE BOOTHS Separate election booths will be
established for all colleges voting on associated student body officers. Law, music, speech, and pharmacy will each have a booth; engineering will vote with liberal arts; whether dental will vote on this election is undecided at this date. Liberal arts will be furnished with two booths, roped off, on the center walk.
Students when voting will present, before marking their ballots, their identification cards, which will be punched by the attendant in «,.iarge. A list of all students in each college voting will be furnished for the respective booth and each name on the lists will be given a number. Ballots when issued will carry in addition to the names, a number, which will be torn off after the ballot has been marked, folded and handed to the attendant in charge and dropped in one bax. The vote will be dropped in another. The corresponding number on the list of names will then be checked off, forming a double check on the voter and prohibiting any possibility of a second vote by one person.
COUNTING AT FOUR At 3:00 the polls will be closed the ballots will be collected under the direction of Professor Mussat-U, the officers first ,and then th^ positions on the executive cortBhit-tee.
Such are the plans as outlined by Professor James Mussatti, general supervisor of student elections. This is a special office created to insure supervision of election and has been held by Mr. Mussatti since its creation four years ago. His first assistant will be “Boots” Oudermeulen, presdent of the senior class and life president of the class of 1927, who will work with Mr. Mussatti in carrying out the plans laid down for the election.
Trojan Knights and Amazons will patrol all booths to Insure order, prevent electioneering and to see that all voting is legal and constitutional.

Dog-on-Button Claimed As Mussatti Chuckles At Quip
That Jeffery Smith is the rightful owner of the “Dog-on-Button” is shown by a statement signed by two other members of the senior class which testifies to the fact that he caused Professor James Mussatti to laugh in class.
The conditioning cause of the laughter was a question in a constitutional history examination which asked the number of the vice-presidents who had subsequently been elected to the presidency. Having answered seven instead of the cor-
rect number which was six, when the questions were being gone over in class, Jeffery Smith raised his hand and asked if bis answer of seven would give him an extra point, whereupon Professor Mnssat-ti langhted. Smith then called out that he claimed the “dog-on-button,” To this the professor assented, and two senior witnesses were secured to sign the necessary affidavit. He is now looking for Douglas Weatin who has worn it for the past three weeks.
