‘The Sophmore."
John Grant Tompkins, better known as ‘'Tommy." will wield the baton, perhaps the most difficult ] job when the show is in production. Tompkins has the distinction of being ono of the young-«t band conductors ever to go on the road, for he was with the ■Great Southern Circus" at the ige of 16. Hs was at one time Undent leader of the Notre Dame university band, and his last professional work was in tlie musical comedy, "Sunny,’’ recently presented ln Los Angeles. Tompkins is i student in the college of commerce.
Orchestration of all the numbers In “Footsteps" is being done by Walter Wilson, who is a student In the school of medicine. Wilson traveled with liis family for 10 years in the Weber and Fields minstrel show.
The announcement that a professional orchestra will be in the pit for the extravaganza is some-*hat of a surprise, as this ts I departure from tho practice of past years, when a school orchestra was assembled by the tryout method. The committee felt that the type of music which is a part of “Footsteps" warranted a popular dance orchestra rather than a symphonic group.

1930 MARDI GRAS SET FOR APRIL 25
Elaborate settings will feature the annual Mardi Gras, all-university dance to be given by the school of Architecture April 25 at the Breakfast club. Sketches were completed last week by all members of the junior and senior classes, representing ideas for the decoration of the hall which will cary out the "Arabian Nights” theme, a Night in Bagdad.
This theme was chosen because it will permit the use of light and airy decorations. Variety of costume designs will be quite in keeping with the evening as the city of Bagdad at the time that the Arabian Night stories are laid was a very cosmopolitan city, and elaborately dressed courtisans of every land were to be seen within its walls.
Highly polished entertainment, and some of the “diamond in the rough" variety will be presented, carrying out the theme and spirit of the eveniug which promises to be oue of the gayest of the spring affairs. Tickets will probably be on sale this week, according to Al Kaser, chairman.
The designs submit ted for the decorations are now on display ^ the exhibition room of the 8chool of Architecture. The best ideas of the several winning problems will be incorporated into the evening’s decorations. The entire school is cooperating tn make this year’s ball greater than any those preceding it.
To help the women students at the Los Angeles junior college organize an honorary organization, active members of Mortar Hoard, national honorary senior organization for women, entertained Miss Bertha Green, dean of women, and four students of the junior college last Friday.
The program began with a meeting held at 4 p. m. Friday in the council rooms of the Student Union. After the meeting, the junior college women were taken to dinner at the Women’s Residence hall.
In explaining the qualifications necessary for members of an honorary organization, short talks were given by Mortar Board members. Dean Mary S. Crawford gave a welcoming talk to the students, Doris Tennant talked on the nec-e s s a r y character requirements, Florence Waechter explained the scholastic requirements. Bonnie Jean Lockwood, president of Mortar Board, presided at the meeting. Mrs. Pearle Aikin Smith, assistant dean of women, attended the dinner and meeting as guest of honor.
Trojan Speech and Drama Organizations Sponsor Show
Thursday Night.
Critical praise of the Los Angeles newspapers greeted the performance of Grant Mitchell in "The Hero,” when the play open ed Monday evening at the Hollywood Music Box under the auspices of the Civic Repertory theater. The play itself, as well as the cast in general and Mr. Mitchell in particular received the general commendation of the critics of the city.
The play will be seen next Thursday night by numerous S. C. students and others participating in the Touchstone theater benefit, sopnsored by four campus speech and dramatic organizations to raise money for the purpose of buying new curtains and scenery for Touchstone theater.
Howard Miller, member of Drama Shop, is general chairman of the benefit, and is managing the ticket sale in which all mem-| bers of the four envoived groups are taking part. The other three groups are: National Collegiate Players, Zeta Phi Eta, and Plii Beta. It is expected that a substantial improvement of Touchstone will be the result, since a considerable number of tickets have already been sold.
“The Hero,” from the pen of Gilbert Emory, is purely American in locale and in flavor. It is a light psychological drama with touches of comedy, and is generally considered an extraordinarily appropriate vehicle for Mitchell’s talent. He is supported in the cast by Norma Lee, playing the leading feminine role. Previously she has scored successes oil the New York stage, and she comes to the Music Box as a guest artist of the Civic Repertory theater.
The author is personally responsible for the direction of the play. The staging is under the supervision of Paul Irving of the Repertory group.

Tear bombs and strategy worthy of a Foch accomplished what for 31 years wearers of the cardinal had dreamed of doing.
