Spring Sports Be Theme Of All-U Dance
Hal Grayson’s Band To Play for Trojans At Breakfast Club
The all-university dance plans have been completed!
The scene — the Los Angeles Breakfast club on Los Feliz boulevard. The day—February 24. Time —9 p.m.
And . . . Hal Grayson!
The theme of the dance, according to Barbara Morton, who is in charge of the affair, is to follow the spring sports of hockey, baseball, and track. Tentative plans call for sports attire.
Helping the student body vice-president with the plans are: Rol-land Dillon and Virginia Conzelman, orchestra and publicity; Louise Re-orden and Ximejo Tejada, refreshments and details: and Tom Eddy and Frank Scott, fratemity contacts.
SC students have heard Grayson music before—at Catalina, the Ca- i sino, and the St. Francis hotel in San Francisco. A former student here Hal Grayson was a member of the SC band. His bent for drama was shown when he entered the university Extravaganza, an affair similar to the present-day Varsity show.

Do you want to be in pictures, huh?
The. Trojan Review, campus newsreel, is offering any campus organization—fraternity or sorority— an opportunity to appear in the monthly issues of the SC film by simply applying for a place on the newsreel shooting schedule.

Every organization is requested to submit a complete list of their events planned for the semester. These schedules must contain accurate material relating the event, date, place, and occasion for the celebration. Since the newsreel will be issued a few extra times this spring, this new feature will have a favored spot on the program.
Production schedules should be turned into Arnold Eddy’s office in the Student Union, or the Cinematography office located in the Cinematography and Music building.

Thousands of persons have aided in the drive, including stars of film, stage, and radio, who have participated in benefit performances.
