FROSH PICKED FOR SQUIRES
Men For Sophomore Organization Picked on Activity and Scholarship Record.
MEET TOMORROW
Committee of Knights Considered More Than Two Hundred Petitions.
Thirty-seven men were elected to membership in the Trojan Squires at a meeting of a committee of the Knights, held the latter part of last week. Two hundred petitions were turned in by aspirants to membership in the sopho-omore organization, the successful candidates being chosen on the basis of their scholastic and activities record.
Owing to the fact that freshmen very frequently do not have much time to give to campus activities and thus become known, all applicants for membership in the Squires were made to appear in person before the committee of the Trojan Knights on Squire membership, headed by Eddie Oudermeulen. The personal interviews were, in many cases the decisive factor for or against the granting of a petition.
Off of the thirty-seven freshmen whose petitions have been granted, four are from the College of Pharmacy, six from Dentistry, twenty-four from Commerce and Liberal Arts, and three from Architecture.
Following are the name of the newly-elected Squires:
Prom Commerce and Liberal Arts. Joe Earhart, Tom Young, Bob Hald-erman, Dick Halderman, Guy Duckworth, Bud Fesler, Laurence Moffett, Gordon Orme, James Payne, Frank Carson, Vernon Keene, Doug Hanby, Howard Ralston. E 1 a i n Kirks, Sam Newman, Stanley Weston, Duncan Powers, John Brown, Ed Ware, Herbert Cook, George von KieinSmid, Herbert Lantin, Charles Alexander and Standlee Martin. From Pharmacy: John Patrick, Marvin Fleminger, Frank Smith and Emmett Quinn. From Dentistry: Gordon Pace. Willard Wilson, Harold Carpenter, G. R. Tucker, Willis Ad-er and Louie Richardson. From Architecture: Clifford Hancock, Dick Mulvin and Thomas Brown.
MEETING WEDNESDAY
The Trojan Squires is an organization made up of sophomores, whose principal duties are those of carrying out the policies of the Trojan Knights .especially in regard to the enforcement of traditions and the tutelage of freshmen. A meeting of next year’s Trojan Squire organization is to be held Wednesday at 3:15 in H-206. Officers for the coming year will be elected ,and measurements for sweaters, taken. All those who wish to do so, may pay for their sweaters at the meeting.
Declares Senior Road Show Success; Stage Hands Noisy
Original Farce By McIntyre and Play By Freeman Lusk Feature Vaudeville Program; “Gawky Athletes” Amuse Dance Chorus.
BY CHARLES WRIGHT
The annual Senior Road Show, presented in Bovard Auditorium Friday evening, though filled with excellent vaudeville acts, was rendered insufferable through stage management. Never has the writer seen a good show spoiled by such backstage blundering and pandemonium.
FIRST ACT WAS GOOD OPENER
Elora Sornsen and Manual Ruiz opened the show with “The Apache Dance of Death,” a splendid interpretive dancing number combining grace, dash, and pantomime with the atmosphere of the Paris underworld. The dance was well done, and it deserved the
♦reception it received.
It is hard to understand why Sher-ril Cohen, Bud Overbeck, and Warren
VARSITY CLUB HOLDS ELECTIONS
Twenty-four Men Initiated on Wednesday Evening; New Officers are Elected.
Officers were elected and 24 men were initiated at the meeting Wednesday evening of the Varsity Club at the Hollywood Athletic Club.
Those elected ‘.o serve for the coming year are Charles Sauers, president; Henry Coggeshall, vice-president; fcoyd Thomas, treasurer; and Charlie Boren, secretary. The twenty-four men taken in at this time bring the total for the year up to forty, the largest number that has ever been initiated in one year .according to Percy Wallace, retiring president. All men having made letters are eligible.
Entertainment was provided by Cliff Herd, who gjive some song hits, and Glen Pents who gave some piano numbers. Willis Hunter, athletic director ,spoke, and Kenneth White, president of the Varsity Alumni Club told of the plans of the latter organization. This club is now so organized that it will keep an accurate record of all let ter men. It plans to have rallies before each big game and thus help to keep up the Trojan spirit, according to Wallace, who says that this Alumni club is an important development in the history of the University.
Peterson should have billed themselves as the “Three Bad Boys.” On the contrary they were quite good, and this in spite of the fact that Cohen’s singing voice was affected by a sickness which previous to the show had confined him to his bed. Lots of harmony marked their singing of popular melodies.
ORIGINAL FARCE Perhaps the best act on the bill was John McIntyre’s original farce, “The Sideshow.” As the be-moustached “circus barker,” McIntyre was a scream. This fellow has a natural flare for comedy. “Tiny” Sanholdt, the strongman, Sally Lomax, as Little Egypt, the dancer, and the singing of Ruth Pettit all were adequate. Why the act should have necessitated the hauling of a piano from backstage is a mystery. As it was there was no co-ordination between the orchestra pianist and Miss Lomax. The pianist in the pit could have played the music to accompany Ruth Pettit’s singing. However, this was the beginning of the stage crew’s “Comedy of Errors.” (Continued on Page Three)
LITERARY CLUBS PLAN ELECTIONS
Team work is what puts a school over.
Athena, Aristo, Clionian and Comitia will hold the elections of officers tonight for the next semester. Those receiving offices will be installed immediately except those from Athena, who will be installed, at the last meeting of this year.

I. C. 4-A. Champions Will Soon Be Off.
The coming of Leo Calland to Southern California next year will give her a full time basketball coach for the first time, and will bring back an alumnus who has made a name for himself throughout the southland as an athlete and sportsman. Leo is one of the best liked men in Whittier, just as he was one of the most popular men here when he captained the first Trojan varsity that met (and defeated) an Eastern football team. We never knew him personally but he has the reputation of being a hard fighter and a clean sport.

This is a warning that student body cards are necessary in order to vote Thursday. This will be the last .year that the kind of cards the registrar gives out will entitle the holder to a vote. Therefore, it behooves the students to use them while they may. According to the Executive Committee opinion it is going to cost money to vote next year. Let no one say he has not been warned. Student body cards will be necessary Thursday.

Tomorrow afternoon Olga Steeb, world renowned pianist, will be at Southern California to give the last of a series of splendid programs made possible for this campus through the generosity of several artists. These noted people, including Ellen Beach Yaw, Cecile Holland, the “Man of a Thousand Faces,” and Pauline Stiles, the brilliant novelist, have all brought their contribution to the cultural opportunities here without expense to the University. The least the students can do is take advantage of their chance and hear them. Those who miss hearing Olga Steeb tomorrow will missel real opportunity. Those who go will help make it possible for Southern California to attract more such artists next season,

“Ditch Days” seem to be the thing around Southern California now. Yesterday the engineers took their time out and went in a body to Anaheim Landing for a picnic. We don’t know just how many went but we hope they had a good time. It was only too bad that they couldn’t have gotten
their date in in time to beat the weather man last week.

FIRST NATIONAL GIVES TRYOUTS TO TEN TROJANS
National Campaign For New Collegian Stars Reaches S. C.; Winners To Go To Hollywood.
Ten Trojan students yesterday took screen tests under the auspices of the First National Studios. After the announcement in yesterday’s Trojan, about fifty students gathered at the corner of Hoover and 36th Street, eager for a chance to enter the movies.
From the fifty, ten were selected and given screen tests. These ten are Arthur Brearley, Meldrim Burrill, Ward Bond, James Harrison, Malcom Chambers, James Stewart, Roger Hopkins, Bob Kranz, Alvin Morgan, and Herschel Bonham.
Under the leadership of Ned Holmes, a small company has been touring the United States in search of additional screen talent. The University of Southern California is the last of the thirty-three universities that have been visited.
Prominent western athletes who have been filmed in the screen tests are Ted Shipkey, Wild Bill Kelly, Biff Hoffman, and Gerkin. Ten men have been filmed at each university. General manager of productions, John McCormick, will now select the ten men from the three hundred and thirty before the end of the month.
The lucky ten will have all expenses to Hollywood paid, and there will take part in the pictures in suitable roles. If they appeal to the public, they will be given a chance to star.
According to Mr. Holmes, the object of the screen tests is to find new faces and new personalities to present to the public. An effort will be made to make college pictures more like the reality and more true to life.
