A new feature of “Footsteps,” which has just been added, is a women’s trio, composed of Betty Lou Henderson, Ruth Ann Byerley, and Margaret Thomas. "Their voices blend better than any women’s voices I have ever heard,” Max Mellinger, who is himself a singer over radio stations KECA and KFI, said. “I think they will undoubtedly prove a hit with the audience.”
Rehearsal with the orchestra has been planned for tonight and will continue tomorrow evening and every night next week. The scenery and costumes will be ready Monday night, in order that the cast and choruses may have plenty of time with which to become used to their properties.

JUNE IS TIME OF MEDICAL EXAMS
The national board of medical examiners will give its written examinations in Los Angeles June 24, 25, and 26, and has extended an invitation to the school of medicine of the University of Southern California to participate.
This board was organized in 1915 by Dr. W. L. Rodman, then president of the American Medical association. It began opera* tion in 1916, with the purpose of establishing in this country a standard qualifying examination of such character that the certificate awarded could be safely accepted by all state boards of medical licensure as an adequate qualification for the practice of medicine.
The national board’s certificate is accepted by the United States army and navy, by 42 states and territories, and by the outstanding foreign boards of the same nature.
The physicians who earn thc certificate of the national board are designated diplomates of the national board and are exempted from the scientific examination given by the American College of Surgeons and from that given by the Mayo Foundation.
Any student who has matriculated in a class A medical school may apply for registration with the board. This must be done at least 30 days in advance of the applicant’s first proposed examina-(Continued on Page Six)

This morning our three candidates for the student body presidency, Glenn Johnson, Ran Ritchey, and Lewis Gough, were suffering from bad cases of flea-bite.
After browsing through this scandal sheet one reaches the conclusion that these Sigma Sigma pledges must be a cheerful, swell bunch of good-hearted fellows—the kind that wear 6uits with one way pockets and are always glad to trade a hand-
The Eastman Kodak company is giving away to everyone who becomes 12 years old this year a kodak free of charge today. Congratulations, pledges of Sigma Sigma, now you can kodak as you blow.
Yours for pedigreed hot dogs,
MORRIE CHAIN
Nine additional days are to be given to participants in “The Abundant Life” essay contest, open to all students and alumni of the university, in order that they may prepare worthy manuscripts, according to the decision of the committee in charge.
“We felt that the deadline was too near to allow ample thought in the preparation of essays. For that reason, the final date has been postponed from May 1 to May 9,” Dr. John D. Cooke, professor of English literature, and member of the committee, stated yesterday.
The contest is sponsored by an unnamed donor who set aside a sum of money to be distributed as prizes for the best short essays on “The Abundant Life.” A proper definition of the title is left entirely to the discretion of the students.
Contributions are to be between 300 and 500 words in length, thus allowing only for a comparatively brief statement of one’s philosophy of life. Conciseness and unity of both composition and thinking will be considered most important in the judging.
All competing essays shall be typewritten in triplicate, shall | bear fictitious names, and shall i be accompanied by a sealed envelope containing the true name of the writer. The three copies of the essay must be in the university mail, addressed to Dr. Louis Wann, chairman of the English department, on or before May
Editor Announces May 23 As Date For Appearance Of Yearbook.

Final copy for the yearbook will be delivered to the printers Monday, April 28, Barr stated. Practically all of the work of the staff has been finished, and only two sections remain to be made up.
Les Hatch, business manager, will take charge of the distribution of the books, and will announce the method of procedure within a few days. It is expected that more than 3500 students will receive yearbooks, a record number.
With the delivery date set for May 23, student distribution will be completed before examinations begin, allowing ample time for inspection before the close of school. Copies of the El Rodeo will be on exhibition during the Semi-Centennial celebration.
The 1930 volume contains a vast amount of material appropriate to the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of S. C. Owing to the unique historical value of many of the photographs, the volume ls expected to be valued as a record of the establishment, growth and final development of the university during its first fifty years.
Although much space has been devoted to historical material, the amount of material concerning present undergraduate activities is equal to that of any previous El Rodeo.
