Prom Is Comparatively New
* * * * * * * * * * * * Junior Affair Was Started in 1928 * * * * * + * * * * Dance To Usher in Spring Season
Yes, laddies and lassies, the junior prom is a comparatively new event at the University of Southern California.
A journey through the back files of the university news bureau re-! veals the surprising fact that the | first prom was held December 16, i 1928. at the Beverly Wilshire hotel.
By delving a little deeper into the past records one discovers that at one time because of religious sentiments social events were banned on the Trojan campus. In the prewar days dancing was considered immoral by the more sedate members of the S.C. faculty.
.With the coming of the early twenties social life on the Trojan campus began to grow with great intensity. Ther as the decade drew to a close, Trojan lovers of the terpsicorean art decided that like Harvard. Dartmouth, and West Point, S.C. must also have its junior prom.
At first the event was held late in the fall of each year to celebrate the close of the football season, but of more recent years the annual
dance has been held in the springtime.
This year’s prom, to be held tomorrow night at the Brentwood country club, ushers in the spring season. Collegians will sway to the rhythms of Hal Grayson and his orchestra in a flowery setting.
“The number of bids sold this year far surpasses that of previous seasons and it is estimated by junior class officials that more than

Tickets for “One Sunday Afternoon” which opens in Touchstone theater tonight at 8:30 p. m. for a three night run are available at the cashier's window in the bookstore for 40 cents.

memory turns back to his boyhood days in the ’90s, and floradora girls dance onto Touchstone’s side stage and sing old songs of the horse-and-buggy days.
When the curtain is draw apart for act two. the .;c<me has switched back to the time when “Biff” is a young man in love with Virginia Brush, characterized by Peggy Barton, but is pursued by Amy Lind, Mary Paulk, a shy but persistant young belle. But Virginia has eyes for the sleek young villain. Hugo Barnstead. played by Charles Newman Jr.

Panhel Conference Pittsburgh Periled Will Be at U.C.L.A. By Food Shortage
City Gropes in Darkness; Candles Are Cause of Frequent Fires
PITTSBURGH. Pa., March 18-<ILE>—Floods, fire and a dwindling food supply threatened the Ufe and safety tonight of 1.000,000 persons in the vast Pittsburgh industrial area.
Although there were millions of tons of icy water in and around the steel capital of America, health officials said the city’s supply of drinking water would be exhausted in 30 hours unless the flood re-ceeded.
Tlie city struggled in darkness tonight except for the uncertain light of candles. Power and light service failed around dusk.
Fires Frequent Fires, frequent because of the candles, were difficult to fight because firemen found water plugs covered by the flood. Every fire engine that clanged through the streets carried a canoe or a smaU boat.
There was tragedy ln outlying towns. At Sharpsburg, seven miles northeast, about 350 persons were marooned with only four rowboats available for rescue work. At Milton 300 persons were made homeless when a retaining wall gave way and inundated the area.
Known deaths in the Pittsburgh area were few, but more were feared.
In additions to the danger from drowing, the weather was bitter cold. Exposure was certain to take a toll. Snow and slush covered the dark streets and the circling mountains.
Business Center Inundated
The famous “Golden Triangle" business center was inundated. The city was almost isolated from the world, with airplanes the only transportation service operating regularly.
Property damage in the downtown section alone was estimated conservatively at more than $12,-000,000. Added to this were additional mUUons in personal expense incurred by individuals and the loss in wages by thousands of workers barred from plants and stores by flood waters.
The water was 20 feet beyond flood stage, which is 25 feet. As darkness closed over the city, the water appeared to have reached its crest.

Ed Yale Asks Fraternity Laundry Plan Cooperation
“If fraternities and sororities want to benefit by the cooperative laundry propostuon offered the entire student body by the N.S.F.A. committee, they wiU have to buckle down to business and give us their complete cooperation within the next week, or we wUl abandon the plan because of ack of support,” was the ultimatum handed down
Chairman Yale
. . . asks cooperation
yesterday by Ed Yale, chairman of the committee of the National Student Federation of America.
More than one month has elapsed since the committee issued 52 questionnaires to Greek house managers, but only 16 have been
returned to date.
“It is absolutely imperative that we have a written opinion as expressed in definite figures, not merely verbal approval, before we can move into action in dickering with laundries to make the cooperative plan an actuality,” Yale said.
“This is not a question of trying to force anything dorm the throats of the students. We just want to know how they stand on the matter.
“The plan wUl benefit everybody, non-orgs included, by affording them a saving of between 30 and 35 per cent over the Ust price on all cleaning work done by professional laundries.”
The plan calls for the laundry work of all students to be done by one laundry instead of by many, as is now the case. It woul<f mean new jobs for a few students and be of marked saving to everyone, the committee holds.
Yale urged Greeks to return those questionnaires that are stiU out before next Thursday.
Disappearance Causes Rugby Postponement
J. V. Waite, Secretary of Local Union, Missing With Finances
Authorities Begin Search
Oxford Fifteen Forced To Cancel Journey When Funds Lacking
Indefinite postponement and possible cancellation of the University of Southern Califomia-Ox-ford university international rugby srame, scheduled ior March 28. was made last night by officials of the Southern California Rugby Union because of dubious financial conditions occasionel by the mysterious disappearance of J. V. Waite, secretary of the organization, sponsoring the five games which Oxford was to play in Los Angeles.
With executives of the Rugby Union unable to contact Waite, missing since Saturday morning, and unable to obtain the necessary funds, entrusted to his keeping, in order to assure the guarantee for passage of the Oxlord team from England to Los Angeles, the games were postponed rom their original dates. The exact days for the contests, if the games can be arranged upon a sound financiat basis, will be announced by the Rugby Union.
Having nothing more ihan a passive connection with the games, which are under the solitary supervision of the Rugby Union with which S. C. if affiliated along with U. C. L. A. and a dozen club teams, the University of Southern California yesterday took the official attitude that it is no way responsible for the staging of the games and all future arrangements must be consumated by that organization.
The Oxford team was to leave’ London tomorrow morning, but complete financial arrangements with transportation concerns had to be made yesterday as a guar* antee. When Waite was unable to be found and money was not forthcoming, the British team was for-, ced to cancel traveling plans.
Official agencies of the county have been informed of Waite’s strange disappearance, and at-t tempts are now under way to contact him and unveil tbe mystery (Continued on pasa three)
