According to Professor Rew, many excellent contributions were entered that cannot be included on the program. She explained that length, suitability, and variety must be taken into consideration when selections for the presentation are made. In some divisions, however, entrants will receive credit on the program for commendable scripts not presented.
PLAYS PRESENTED LATER
Presentation of the plays will be under the general supervision of Professors Evans and Dalzell, with drama students as directors. With the consent of the authors several of the plays not used in Ar>olliad will be presented by Drama Workshop on some future date.
All students who submitted manuscripts are entitled to invitations to the Apolliad program. These will be available in the speech office one week before the program. Trojans whose entries are presented will be special guests at a banquet, preceding the program, at which Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid will be host.
Many noted writers and critics attend the event, offering criticisms and suggestions.
Capable of complete instrumentation for the first time since its organization, the Southern California symphony orchestra of 60 pieces will present a program largely composed of classical music in its annual spring concert at 8:15 p.m. today in Bovard auditorium.
“In previous performances the orchestra has been handicapped by lack of instruments and confined to the lighter classics, but tonight it will be entirely complete,” Dr. Lucien Cailliet, associate professor of music and conductor of the organization, commented.
KROHN TO PLAY
The presentation of Peter Tschai-kowsky's “Concerto for Violin and Orchestra” by Roderick Krohn, 17-year-old violin artist and SC freshman. will highlight the program. This concerto once was considered almost impossible to play by music critics.
“The Pledge of Allegiance,” set to music by Arthur Bergh, will be conducted by Its composer as an added feature. Bergh, a former violinist under Toscannini with the Metropolitan symphony orchestra and now a Beverly Hills composer, describes his composition as “A simple setting of the pledge to afford the average audience opportunity to renew its loyalty to democratic ideals.”
CAILLIET CONDUCTS Dr. Cailliet will conduct his own arrangements of three Rachmaninoff preludes, made at the request of the composer and published less than a month ago.
The concert affords an opportunity for the premiere performance of compositions by two members of the School of Music faculty. “Caprice” by Mabel Woodworth, assistant professor of music, was written several years ago, but will have its initial performance tonight.
There will be no junior prom this weekend!
Originally scheduled for Saturday, the prom has been postponed until either Friday, April 4, or Saturday, April 5, according to Smokey Martin, junior class president.
The change in the date was brought about by the announcement that Glenn Miller’s band would be unable to make Saturday night’s engagement. Martin said yesterday that Miller’s orchestra was the only one under consideration to play for the affair.
The committee in charge of the prom will know definitely tomorrow whether or not Miller will play on the April date.
The dance will be held in the Blue room of the Biltmore hotel at that time.

The group deferment of students provided by the act expires July 1, 1941, and it will, therefore, be necessary for local boards to reclassify all students now in Class 1-D or 1-E prior to July 1. 1941. In reclassifying students, all facts in the possession of the local board at the time of the student's classification in 1-D or 1-E should again be given full consideration, together with any evidence of changed status which may have occurred since classification.
It is clearly the duty and responsibility of the local board to determine the classification of each registrant. The intelligent selection or deferment of registrants, as the national interest may require, is the fundamental purpose of the selective training and service act of 1940 and the regulations prescribed thereunder.

All-U Production Endangered' by Cast Shortage
“Unless more than 300 people appear today at the try-outs from 3 to 5 p.m. for "The American Way’ there will be no all-U show,” Edmund Evans, drama coach, declared bluntly before a group of aspiring cast members ln Touchstone theater yesterday.
One hundred students were in the theater to audition for parts in a production that will use that number in its entire cast.
Besides the actors, there are more students needed for behind the scenes work. Evans said.
Tentative dates for the production are May 8. 9. and 10, if it is performed in Bovard auditorium. If the Shrine auditorium is the scene of the all-U show, the dates will be May 9 and 10.
Approval of the budget and the casting of the players is all that is holding up rehearsals, Mort Block, play productions manager explained.
He announced that there are many speaking parts that are more than a line or two ln length, but still unfilled.
Students expecting to be on the costume, makeup, and other committees also will appear today in Touchstone theater.
Wampus Adds Gossip Column to March Issue
Characterizing it as “the greatest expose since the Vulture,” Dick Mulcahy yesterday announced that the March issue of the Wampus will go on sale at 9:50* a.m. tomorrow.
Featuring a new department, ‘ The Glass House” by Snooperman, the Wampus plans to lay bare campus gossip and scandal. Mulcahy promised that the revelations will include practically the entire student body and hinted that if the feature is a success it will be continued hereafter.
The “Girl of the Month” will be highlighted as usual, but no information could be obtained as to the identity of the coed. “Juke Box Jump,” another monthly feature by Ted Olewine, is scheduled to appear.
“Two full pages of pictures have been secured.” said Mulcahy, “including candid and night spot photos. This is the most printed in several months.
The "Lucky Couple” contest included in the magazine is a drawing for tickets of the Paladium. Purchasers need only to clip the coupon in the book and drop it in the Wampus box to be eligible. The actual drawing in Chuck Johnston’s office is to be one week after publication.
Hand-in-hand with the current political scene is the feature “Shake My Hand,” picturing all of the candidates for ASSC offices, Mulcahy explained.
To add the literary touch, a short story by Howard Kleinfield “And Spring,” is listed in the table of contents. Another article deals with the Easter prom, scheduled for Easter Sunday.
The cover picture by Gene Moriarty depicts a healthy O. and M. worker disregarding his tools for a lovely coed.
Lecturer Discusses Life's Way
Dr. Fuller to Tell Epicurean Theory at 4:15 p.m. Today
Epicurus, a Greek of the third century B.C., living in an epoch of disintegration of orthodox theology and traditional moral standards, disgruntled with the failure of old Gods, made a new way of life of his own.
This way of life, so popular that it attracted to Epicurus many followers and has endured as a strong influence for 23 centuries, will be discussed today by Dr. B. A. G. Fuller at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne hall.
It is the fourth lecture of the philosophy forum’s “Six Ways of Life” series.
HAPPINESS SOUGHT Dr. Fuller says that "epicureanism is motivated by an interest in defining and securing human happiness rather than by speculative curiosity regarding the nature of truth.”
Epicurus held that pleasure is the supreme good and chief end of life. In the course of time that proposition has been so misconstrued that most people regard the epicurean way of life as one of sophisticated self-indulgence. TEMPERATE LIVING Actually, Epicurus also held that true pleasure is found only in living according to “temperance, honor, and the dictates of conscience.” Epicurus and his followers retreated from the world. Especially they avoided conjecturcs on theology, on divine providence and immortality, for it was these ideas that had failed them in the troubled times in which they lived.
They ended by fitting their way of life into the metaphysics of Democritus.

At this, Bud 'Gaston shouted from the second balcony in the manner of a popular radio quiz program:

\Aartin, Hodge Give Speeches for Candidates
By VIRGINIA ELLIS
Syd Barton and Guy Halferty accepted nominations for the ASSC presidency yesterday in a dramatic assembly in which Barton promised greater university with ‘worthwhile student government,” and Halferty advocated “a more unified student body with greater representation.”
Both candidates and their nominators refrained from citing long lists of qualifications on the expressed theory that previously held offices have little Influence on the activities of the president.
Highlight of the assembly came when Halferty slowly ripped a donated campaign check to pieces before an amazed audience. In the electric silence the crackling of the pieces of paper were picked up and magnified by the microphone. JOHNSTON PRESIDES Halferty explained his action by saying:
“There ls no place in my campaign for rallies, consequently I haven’t planned one. Most of you already know how you are going to vote, so you don’t get anything out of them but a lot of laughs.” Preceding the presidential speeches, Charles Johnston. ASSO president, opened nominations for the position of ASSC secretary and * vice-president. Three women were named for each office.
Upon receiving recognition from the chair. Smokey Martin, Junior class president, hurried down the aisle and mounted the platform. MARTIN TALKS
I never saw so much arm waring in my life,” he asserted. “These politicians from the fourth floor of the Student Union are tough competition.
“I really had a speech prepared for today listing aC the qualifications necessary for the most important position on the campus.** he continued, “but after listening to all this ‘phonus bolonus’ which has been filling the room, I don’t think I’ll give it.
“You probably didn’t listen to half what was said—I know I didn’t!” he added.
Then, in a serious vein, he continued :
NO QUALIFICATIONS GIVEN
My candidate has student contacts. social activities, a fine character. honesty, and sincerity, but he makes no campaign promises.
“He is qualified, and he belongs to all the organizations you wish to name—men’s organizations, that is* In closing Martin shotted:
“I present no qualifications for him. because after all they probably won’t make any difference ln his activities as president.
“I nominate Syd Barton for the presidency of ASSC!”
Chairman Johnston acknowledged the nomination and called for others.
HODGE SPEAKS
Lee Hodge. Junior debater, rose from his seat and calmly walked to the platform, stationing himself behind the mike. A murmur of surprise swept over the crowd as he began to speak.
“As I look out on these masses I have never seen more pretty faces ... or more intelligent faces, so I know my words will not go unheeded.”
In elaborating upon his beginning Hodge quoted poetry and sayings of Mark Twain, and then announced:
“My speech will have to be short because my time is limited, but I want to tell you something that will be of interest to you. All too frequently nomination speeches are mere reviews of the candidate’s qualifications.
“Perhaps it would be of Interest to you to know that my candidate (Continued on Page Two)
