Y ’female) you will find your name and all the gory details in tomorrow’s Wampus ... the Spring number.
In fact, the experienced staff of snoopers and keyhole peepers has not stopped at pinhangings, but puts the finger on all the lovesick young boys and girls hereabouts, with brutal disregard for reputations. And all the names are in nice italic type, the kind you’ll want to clip out so the folks at home won’t know you’ve gone and done it.
Vote for Payette A man named Herman has had his nose to the ground for the past se\ eral weeks, sniffing out political campaign odors. The result is an article giving the absolute inside low down on this here political situation. '‘Sensational'’ barely describes the content of this daring revelation of campus machinations.
The campaign of William C. Payette, ineligible graduate student, a last-minute entry in the political race, with the power and influence of the Wampus machine at his back, the hope of the Common People, liberal fraternity, sorority, and Delta Chi members, and his mother, Mrs. Payette, will be launched. Rumors that the competition offered by this 6-foot 6-inch thunderbolt of dynamic, two-fisted action has frightened Bishop, Kuhn, and Parker into withdrawal from the race are heard on every hand, but are as yet unconfirmed. Aesthetic, manly, thrifty, agile, and studious, Payette, former Victorville goat-milker, is hailed by friend and foe as another Gandhi.
Vote for Payette “He will work for Vou,” Editor Roberts assured me, “so vote for Him!”
All your pet eripes, accumulated in many years of silent suffering, are aired in “Thumbs Down.” and the wonderful “Hello and Smile” stiuation is given the proper raspberry.
Assistant Editor Phil Juergens has broken out with a diary of a campus political candidate and the story of a downtown factory strike as it should be handled respectively by the Los Angeles Times, the Daily Worker, and a two-bit politician trying to arbitrate the trouble. He has also broken out with a rash and a new pair of white shoes. All four are very striking-.

More cartoons — more cartoons than ever before—occupy the unused space in the 24 pages of the Spring number. And there is a quantity of those “oh, so clean” exchange jokes, the lines of which you may read between.

Is Plan of Roger Babson
Unofficial Reports Show Casualties Mounting to More Than 2500
Campaign for Track Fund
NEW YORK. April 22 — CP) — Senators would be given their full salaries for life under a plan advanced by Roger W. Babson, economist and statistician, in a talk prepared for deUvery tonight before the Babson Institute Alumni association of New York.
“Such a plan.” said Babson “would make the senators free to use their own Judgement and think first of their people at home. It wculd go a long way to offset the bullying and threats of blocs."
Babson's suggestion would not change the present method of elections or lengthen the senatorial terms of office.
Senators would continue to be reelected or defeated every six years as is now the case.
“With the assurance of a salary for life, however, they would assume more the attitude of impartial judges,” said Babson “Such a plan would make the tiWmate good of tt* pattern mma man to coqgr—
than the immediate prospects of re-election.
Such a program, Babson said, wculd cost, “only $1,800,000 a year, which is a mere drop in the bucket, while it would immediately restore the confidence of all honest citizens of all groups,'*
Babson painted a black picture of the United States in the future unless the government “begins to curtail its reckless spending” and look toward balancing the budget.
The economist said the only hope left for world stability and peace is the United States and Great Britain.
“If either collapses." he said, “Democratic government, freedom of speech, private property, and other ideals for which our ancestors fought and bled will be wiped away.
“Should the ultimate welfare of 125,000,000 people be blotted out ln order that our present unsuccessful alphabetical experiments be con-
Relief Work Is Hampered
Center Section of 220 Mile Island Is Hardest Hit; 20,000 Affected
TAIHOKU. Formosa, (Monday) —April 22 — flJ.P) — A violent earthquake today left the island of Formosa a stalking ground of death and terrific destruction, with populous cities in ruins, entire valleys devastated, and casualties mounting toward the 3.000 mark.
Latest unofficial reports on the number of dead indicated that more than 2.500 persons were killed. The injured totaled approximately 6,000.
Terrified refugees choked roads leading to the cities as they fled the still shaking and convulsed sections. Fragmentary reports from remote valleys and plantation areas along the flanks of the giant Taiwan mountain range confirmed fears that considerable loss of life was experienced in those regions.
Losses, Wreckage, Debris
Carrier pigeons brought first hand descriptions of the appalling losses in isolated sections. Communication lines were down in scores of places, railway tracks were twisted ano wrecked beyond possible use, and highway tunnels were filled with debris of coUapsing masonry, making contact with the interior districts difficult.
Authorities estimated 12.122 houses had been destroyed by the series of shocks. Brick and concrete structures in the cities were tumbled to the ground in ruins. At least 11,364 houses were damaged in the disaster it wa-' estimated.
The shocks apparently had centered over an area extending from the central portion of the 220-mile long island to the tfest and north. Fertile rice fields and tea plantations of the south and eastern portions apparently escaped the full force of the disaster.
Hundreds Walt on Stretchers
Relief work was hampered seriously by a lack of competent physicians schooled in modern surgery. In Taijoku. a city of 100.000 population, hundreds of injured were brought on stretchers into temple yards and school grounds to await treatment.
Women who escaped injury or death in the disaster volunteered their services, bringing water to the suffering victims and ministering traditional home remedies to those hurt.
Authorities believed that estimates of the number of dead, unofficially placed at 2,495 earlier in the day, would not mount beyond 3,000, and might be held to several hundred less than that figure in-as-muchas reports had been received from all but the most remote areas.
At least 20,000 persons were living in the streets, their homes destroyed.
Ditch Day for Law Students Will Be Friday
Girard Country Club To Be Scene of Annual Fete; Program Planned
Text books and lectures will be declared out of order Friday, April 26, when members of the S.C. Law School meet at the Girard Country club for their annual “Ditch Day” celebration. Faculty members are invited to attend, announced Joseph Wheeler, senior president, and general chairman in charge of the event. Luncheon will be served at 75 cents a plate.
Included on the program of sport events will be a baseball game between the seniors and the juniors, a golf tournament, tennis matches, horseshoes, a touch-football game, and a swimming meet.
Faculty members will officiate at the games.
Tonmament Planned
“The golf tournament will be a medalist round.” announced Maurice Hindin, golf chairman. “All entries will play 18 holes, and an award will go to the winner.” Entries can be made at the club. A green fee of 25 cents will be charged.
Much interest Is being shown in the other athletic events, and strong competition is anticipated.
First on the program for the day is the golf meet, to be followed by the tennis matches. Following these meets, luncheon will be served in the club house.
Afternoon Baseball Game
In the afternoon, the first event will be the baseball game, which is expected to furnish the big thrill of the day, according to Wheeler.
The strong senior team, which last year represented the junior class and defeated the senior team, is confident of a win.
"Ditch Day” is an annua! event, coming as the last holiday before the finals begin, late ln April. Originally it was planned to limit the attendance to members of the senior class only but the plan did r Jt work. All classes now attend as official guests.

WASHINGTON, April 22—(UP)—Sen. Huey P. Long, D., La., in a scorching blast at the New Deal warned today that stater would refuse to pay federal taxes if they are “stripped of their sovereignty” by agencies distributing relief and public works funds. Before galleries packed with Easter visitors, the Louisiana Democrat charged-f that President Roosevelt had set up
a “new Boston tea party.”
“It can work both ways," he shouted.
Referring to action of Federal Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins and Public Works Administrator Harold L. Ickes and public works funds, the Kingfish said:
Sovereign Rights
•The states must not only be taxed without their consent but the states must allow the money to be spent only by surrendering their sovereign rights. There might be a newr kind of Boston tea party which Mr. Roosevelt is creating but it can work two ways.
“When you strip the states of their sovereignity to supervise what they are to be held responsible for afterwards, they can strip themselves of becoming debtors for taxes. You strip them of the sovereignity ln one way, they will strip themselves of the sovereignity in another way. You have got to go into these states to collect taxes the same way as you have got to go there to spend it.”
Threatens Revolt
The threat of a state rebeUion against New Deal orders with the inlerence that Louisiana would lead such a revolt, wras the first raised by Long since he began his feud with the administration several months ago. Majority leader Joe T. Rcbinson immediately ordered a transcript of the Louisiana senator’s remarks.
Long warned several days ago that he W’ould take the floor today to “pin Ickes’ ears back” in retaliation for Ickes’ statement that Long has “halitosis of the intellect.” He devoted most of his speech, however, to conditions existing in Louisiana before he became governor and dismissed Ickes as “a Chicago cinch bug.”
Trojan Staff Meeting Called Today
“All reporters must attend the staff meeting today at 2:30 pm., or else,” said Dale Frady, assistant editor.
“This is to be one of the most important meetings of the year, and, among other things, necessary instructions relative to the political campaigns will be given by the editor and me.”
The roll wUl be called promptly at 2:30 and those absent will have to give explanations individuaUy to the assistant editor, it was explained.

Money To Send Team East to Meet Is Sought
Haugh Outlines Three-point Program; Campus Drive, Show Are Included
By Dick Xa*h
Smouldering student body initiative was aroused last night, and today a student-operated drive to < b-tain funds to send the Trojans champioiiship-bound track team tc the I.C.4-A meet in Boston on Ma; 31 and June 1 was a reality.
Late last night A.S.U.S.C. President Bob Haugh outlined a three-point program to obtain the necessary funds to send Coach Dear Cromwell and a representative S.C. squad to the annual blue-ribbon event of intercoUegiate track anc field, releasing a complete list of committee chairmen to handle the incidental organization for this student-initiated movement.
Already Enthusiastic Three methods of raising fundr from the already-enthusiastic Trojan student body will be made. Haugh declared. Phyllis Norton Cooper, student vice-president, will head the committee in charge of social activities to produce funds. Haugh said. Sid Smith and Jim Krueger will act as co-chairmen of the campus drive committee, organizing a method of personal contact of the S.C. students. Pete Cavaney will be the third chairman in the planned campaign, having charge of a student-cast musical show to be presented in Bovard auditorium.
Immediate approval of the plan as outlined by Haugh was received last night when the newly-organized Varsity club and the Trojan Knights signified their intention of actively, aiding in the financial drive. As soon as notified of these decisions, Haugh announced that ttyey would be placed in auxiliary capacities in presenting the musical show.
For Deserving Trojans This is entirely a campaign by University of Southern California students to send deserving Trojan athletic champions to the eastern meet,” Haugh emphasized last night. "Because of the active interes? among the students, this drive is being attempted. We are certain that enthusiastic cooperation by all loyal Trojans will assure the success of the campaign.”
Individual reaction to raise fund? to send the Trojan track team to the Boston meet began several weeks ago following a statement by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid. which declared that the university administration found it necessary to curtail financial support for intercollegiate athletics for the remainder of this semester. Student groups began advising that the Associated Students' organization back a campaign to raise the necessard’ funds.
More Enthusiasm
The enthusiasm was so great, that student leaders of S.C. were in Immediate favor of the project, and Haugh’s statement last night set the wheels in motion to produce the necessary amount.
Track and field authorities of the nation already are comparing the present S.C. team with the greatest of all time, and declare that the j Trojans are virtual cinches to annex ; the championship of the I.C. 4-A. j won on six previous occasions by the | Cardinal and Gold. S.C. last wor the meet in 1933. failing to defend I its title last year.

Announcement of the fraternity teams competing in the ice hockey match Is expected momentarily. In the political candidates derby, each nominee will b« represented by a
skater riding a “horse.” Following the program, guests may try ice skating for themselves. Through dis" pensation of the management, skates may be rented at the special price of 25 cents a pair for the remainder of the evening.
In addition to the entertainment offered by the program, ping pong tables will be open to students and faculty throughout the evening. Peanuts, candy, popcorn, and ice cream will be sold throughout the evening by coeds under the direction of June Fields.
