Staff Keys Will Be Presented T o Outstanding Workers On Daily.
Outstanding members of the Trojan staff, yet to be selected, will be awarded publication keys at the annual Trojan banquet, Tuesday, May 20. The meeting will start at 6 o’clock.
Keys of a new design have been adopted this year and will be retained as a standard award. A lectangular gold base will carry a black onyx field. Ou this appear the letters "S.C.”, and a gold scroll bearing the word “Publications.” Publications will be distinguished by the insignia which will top the key. For members of the Trojan staff the key will bear a Trojan head. BI Rodeo keys will carry the Trojan horse, and the Wampus keys will have the traditional cat.
In order to be eligible to ceive the publications award, a student must have been a member of the staff of one publication for tour consecutive semesters and have done outstanding work each semester. Special allowances may be made for students w’ho have been outstanding but who have not served four semesters because of transferring from a junior college.
Selection of those to receive the award will be made at a meeting of the board of student publications this afternoon. Announcement of the fortunate people will not be made until the banquet, however.
All members of the Trojan staff will be required to attend the banquet May 20, as it is the last gathering of the group this Announcement will be made of the awards aud appointments fo year, and the new editor will be introduced to the staff.
Promising to be one of the outstanding events on the social calendar of the university, the spring informal dance of Pan-Hellenic organization will be held tonight at D o'clock in the social hall of the Student Union. Admission will be had only upon presentation of a bid at the door.
"Judging from the sale of tickets and the elaborate preparations made for decorating the hall, the dance will be one of the most successful ever sponsored by Pan-Hellenic,” said Erma Willis, president. "The interest on the part of sorority girls from other universities and non-sorority girls has done much to broaden the scope of the affair.”
JAPANESE DECORATIONS Chief among the attractions of the dance will be the decorations w'hich will transform the hall into a veritable Japanese bower. Reproductions of quince trees blossom will provide a colorful background.
The bright magenta of the bios sorns will offer a striking contrast to the light orchid of the wisteria which is to be hung in garlands from Japanese hangings. Lanterns instead of the usual lamps will provide the illumination, and Japanese parasols will lend their bright colors and designs to the hall. The decoraUons have been in the hands of Alpha Gamma Delta, and each sorority has been responsible for one of the blossoming quince trees.
NOVEL PROGRAMS Della Zeta which has had charge of the programs, has carried out the colors used in the decorations in novel dance progrkms.
Patrick Marsh and his orchestra have been obtained by Alpha Delta Pi to play for the affair. Other committees for the dance are Sigma Delta Tau, which took charge of the ticket sale, and lota Sigma Theta, which arranged for the punch.
