COMMERCE DITCH DAY IN READINESS
Urging all commerce students to bring their lady friends, plans to make the annual Commerce ditch day next Tuesday, May 12, one of the outstanding functions of the spring semester were completed yesterday by Jack Morrison and Joe Rlndone. co-chairmen of the all day outing.
According to Morrison and Ilin-done, the Deauville Beach club at Santa Monica will be the scene of the festivities for the oullng. The program of the beach party, which will cost only 36 cents for Commerce men and 50 cents foi couples, will consist of swimming and beach sports in the morning, a free lunch at noon, an indoor baseball game between the Commerce faculty and students at 1 p.m., and free dancing to Abe Lyman's salon orchestra from 3 to 5:30 o’clock.
The charge of 35 cents for stags and 50 cents for couples is made so that Commerce students may avail themselves of the swimming privileges of the beach club, otherwise the entire day's entertainment will be without cost, accord ing to Rindoue and Morrison. Students are expected to bring their own bathing suits.
All Commerce classes on May 12 will be dismissed for the ditch day and a great time is expected to be had by all. according to the co-chairmen.
EXTRAVAGANZA CAST Members of the Extravaganza cast ar* requested to meet at 3 o'clock thi* afternoon in Bovard auditorium... Important , announcement* will b* made by Bill Miller, director and Fred Phleger, co-author.
I thought that today's coliu-in ouiil bt devoted entirely to ‘'Sportsmanship,” but after seeing the 1931 El Rodeo I feel tiiat there is no use in publishing the Dally Trojan any more. To say that It is the best Troy has ever seen, that Mort Morehouse is not the youngest, but the best editor of them all, that you will drop sandwishes and forget dates to look through It, that the cover, art work, typography, makeup, literary content and all l hose other things that make a good book are in the El ltodec to make It perfect, Is putting It truthfully. Naturally, you are probably saying, “Oh, yeah?" All I can say is. "Wait until Monday and see it.”
Sincerely, though, don't skip through the early pages of the annual as one naturally does and miss the dedication page. It is the finest page in the book—the type of thing that will make you understand the clean-cut, hard-working, admirable boy that edited Troy’s 1931 yearbook.
• • • • •
Sportsmanship, that topic that seems to be the keynote of the principal address at eost banquets nowadays, apparently Is a trite word in tlie vocabulary of some Pacific Coast schools. Its passing, though somewhat gradual, has been relatively a recent occurrence. To neighboring universities. Its convalescence has been unnoticed—no doctors, either from the athletic fields or from student publication offices, have hastened to Its death bed.
True lovers of athletics still believe that tlie old doctrine of "be gracious in victory; be even more gracious in defeat" ahould hold. It's like ths golden rule—something that may be broken now and then, but which always should be upheld.
So much for the sermon. To get down to fact*, may we ask the Stanford Dally just why it suggests that athletic relations between Stanford and Southern California may be severed be cause of the squabble over fouls at last Saturday's track meet? May we ask, with Mark Kelly, if it Is a mortal sin to defeat Stanford? May we ask, just why it is that in victory everything is lovely, but in defeat there is whining?
The details of Vic Williams' passage through Hables and Shove in the 440-yard run last Saturday, have been discussed and rehashed In every Coast newspaper during the past week. The details of Hables’ leaving h!* lane at the finish of his lap of the relay and stepping In front of Vic Williams’ have been hashed and rehashed. Whether or not Williams fouled Hables in the first instance has been decided already by Dink Tmeple-ton and the Stanford Dally. Personally, we will take Vic's version of why he put out his hand to edge Hables forward, as soon as he (Williams) had derided It would be belter to push Babies than cut his legs Into shreds wllh spikes. Vic said, "It was the only thing to do. It’s the consideration 1 feel I owe to a fellow runner, and the kind I would like to have shown me." To Stanford, that i> neither here nor there. But would the Stanford fans examine the San Francisco Monday afternoon papers to see whether or not Hables fouled Williams In the relay'? The photographs are there in black and w hlte.
But as we say, this thing has been hashed and rehashed. One thing tbat .Stanford has forgotten is that John Elliott, a good old fellow, was picked by Stanfoid to referee the track meet. In football games, it is the reefree who decides upon all technicalities. Illegal passes, fouls, penalties, and disqualifications. So it is, or should be, In track. The man to whom an appeal is to be made is the referee Stanford picked the referee. The referee O. K.’d the results. Vet, day after day. the Associated Press, United Press, and International News Service bring whines from Palo Alto. Tho newspaper, not the referee, is to decide whether or not there were fouls.

INTERNATIONALS TALK WAK DEBTS
WASHINGTON, May 7—(UP) — European restiveness over repara tlons and #ar debts forced It* w ay conspicuously Into deliberations of the International Chamber of Commerce today notwithstanding the firmly avowed policy of the Hoover administration not lo consider reopening the que*- | tion.
"Why make Uncle Sam llie goat?" demanded one administration leader, Hep. B. H- Snell, Repn., N. Y., In a statement tonight.
Kngltsh aud Genual) delegates led the appeal for a reconsideration by the United Slates of ita debt policy, and were supported by other speakers.
The worldwide depression was blamed In part on what some termed "political deblu." The plea was made that declining prices have in reality increased the re parations now being paid by Germany.
Russia’s heavy wheat production and her allegedly dumping and un conventional trade practices were \iewed with concern, various delegates urging an understanding among large wheat growing ta lions of the world to reduce overproduction.
