Touton Lists Scholarships
Vice-President Announces 35 Awards for High School, J. C. Pupils
That 25 tuition scholarships are ! offered by the university to se-| lected graduates of secondary schools, and 10 offered to out-: standing students of junior col-i leges has been announced by Dr. Frank C. Touton vice-president • and director of the education program of S.C.
Letters have been sent to the 10,000 high schools of largest enrollment and similar letters to i each of 500 junior colleges an-1 nouncing the grant.
High Scholarship
Applicants for consideration must stand in the highest tenth of their class in scholarship j achievement, must have attained a high scholarship record. and ! must be a Feb. or June 1933 grad-j uate.
Value of the scholarships rang-, es from $270 to $285, and not more than one candidate may be recommended from each school. Selections of students to whom the scholarships are finally awarded are to be made from the data submitted by the principals of the institutions.
Aim of Awards
According to Dr. Touton, the purpose of offering these is to bring in high grade students, and to remove the tuition handicap from superior students, and to get for S.C. the best students the country has. A detailed personnel record is sent with every application, and these are very carefully scrutinized.
Students who enter the University in this manner are eligible for all activities, and may pledge a fraternity or sorority if they desire.
This same offer was made last year, and out of the 140 preliminary application acceptances only 25 were finally admitted.
Completing the casting of “supers” or atmosphere players yesterday, rehearsals on “He Who Gets Slapped,” N.C.P. production to be given Friday, Feb. 24, continue with the largest cast that has ever graced the Bovard stage in a non-musical show.
The atmosphere group, which through its costuming and acting, will establish a vital background for the motivation of the play, will consist of well-known circus entertainers. These will be por-l trayed by the following:
Large Groups
Nannette Hittler, Larry Smith, Mable Pruitt, Catherine McBride, Les Koritz, Katherine Keeler, Willard Jacobson, Borgny Harem, Barbara Hansen, Margaret Barton, Sanford Appel, Roberta von KleinSmid, Mildred Wells. Edgar Yela, and Jane Johantzen.
According to W. Ray MacDonald, who is directing the play, there are still a few openings for men performers. Anyone interested should appear at Bovard today at 3:15.
'Big Show’
The action of the play will take place behind the scenes of a typical circus. The reactions of the performers before and after their acts and the undercurrent of tragedy which runs through their lives, unsuspected by the audiences, form the nucleus of the plot.
The happenings in “He Who Gets Slapped” are lifted from sordidness, MacDonald stated, by the glamour of the circus surroundings. “The lure of the sawdust and the big ring is a hold-over from childhood.
Cultural Pariah
In analyzing the characters, MacDonald said that each one presents an opportunity for strong individual interpretation. “He,” who will be played by George Ordansky is an intellectual, deeply sensitive personality who becomes an embittered outcast from society.

Wayne s Band Will Play for Grid Benefit
Song Leader To Appear in Bovard Today
Count Mancini, played by Nor- | man Wright, is a cruel hyprocriti-cal character, not above selling a soul, not his own, for material benefits. His daughter, Consuelo, played by Jean Sellers, is highly sensitive and idealistic, and suffers at his hand.
Myra Jane McClung plays the role of Zinida, the mad lion tamer, crazed with the idea that all must love her. Bob Boyle as Be-zano, and Jack Swarthout as Papa Briquet, play typical circus characters, who become enmeshed in the web of events which they are powerless to prevent. Bill Hoppe plays the part of the dignified Baron Regnard, a man from the outside world of the circus.
Hugo Kirkhoffer To Hold Singing Contest for Trojan Students
Trojan rooters will be treated to an unusual assembly this morning when Hugo Kirkhoffer, prominent Los Angeles song leader, will appear on the Bovard stage.
Kirkhoffer has coached the Ki-wanis glee club, Orpheus club, and many other singing organizations in southern California and has a widespread reputation for his cleverness in handling large audiences. He comes to the university at the suggestion of the president in an effort to help the students become acquainted with Trojan songs.
Offers Vocal Practice
“In the face of the coming student body elections and current discussions of technocracy the opportunity to limber up rusty vocal chords should be welcomed,” declares Joe Bushard, chairman of the rally committee.
“And it will also settle the question of the singing championship between the men and women of the campus. The procedure is simple—instead of following the little white bouncing ball you merely follow Hugo Kirkhoffer.” Songfest Is Step
The songfest is the first step in the movement toward the fraternity and sorority contests to be staged later in the semester under the auspices of the Interfraternity council. The singing will be so arranged as to furnish the most amusement for the audience, inter-class and inter-balcony contests being conducted by the leader.
“The assembly starts at 9:55,” says Bushard, “and it is advisable to come early and get a good seat. The contest should be good. The odds are 7 to 5 on the men, but you never can tell—look what happened to Notre Dame!"

: 16.—O)—Closely guarded after i-he attempt to assassinate him at Miami, President-elect Roosevelt j sped northward tonight eager to complete his administration program before March 4.

1 Miss Margaret Kruis, Newark, N. J., William Sinnott. New York, and Russel Caldwell, Cocoanut Grove, Fla., all of them suffering bullet wounds.

cerned about the gravity of his condition. He insisted on talking to me about the school teachers’ salary situation in Chicago.”
From room to room he went until he had visited every one of the victims of the half-crazed Giuseppi Zangara, who threw thousands of persons into panic when he mounted a bench in Bay Front park last night and emptied the chamber of a secondhand gun in the direction of Mr. Roosevelt who was seated in an open automobile.
Surrounded by secret service men and a large detail of uniformed Miami police the president-elect was driven to his train.
| Several thousand persons were massed behind police lines to give him a rousing cheer which he smilingly acknowledged.
Directly across the street from his private railroad car was Miami’s combination city hall and jail, and in it on the 27th floor wa« Zangara.

Even Dishwashers Salaam To Huey, Laments Brother
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 16—(IIP) —The second of his brothers today sat in a public hearing and protested against what he termed the “howling, lawless mob rule” of Senator Huey P. Long.
Bald, be-spectacled Julius T. Long, 54, a lawyer, related how the famed “kingfish” rose from a dutiful farm lad to a “political despot.”
“I made Huey Long. I paid his way to law school. I took him into partnership with me and kept him until his chest got too big for him. Now I swear and I hope I fall dead if I know any other man who has done worse by his family than has Huey Long,” Julius told the senate sub-committee investigating election frauds in Louisiana.
It was the sfcond time this week a brother had taken the stand against the kingfish. Earlier, Earl K. Long had accused him of "fraud and corruption.”
Senator Long never once interrupted his brother’s testimony to-
day. He sat smiling while Julius testified that “Huey extracted money from every road contractor in the state, bought shining limousines, packed them with skull busters, who rode through the countryside crushing anyone who dared to raise his voice in protest.
“Huey holds every public office in Louisiana,” he charged. “He extracts undated resignations from state officials. He’s got one from Governor O. K. Allen.
“There’s not a dishwasher in the state more subservient to Huey than is O. K. Allen. I have seen Allen break down and cry about that resignation. That’s the kind of governor we’ve got in this state.”
The witness said that Senator Long terms himself the “official thief of Louisiana University,” and that he took $1,800,000 of highway department funds to build a medical school to compete with that of Tulane university.
Phil Harris and his nationally-, known Cocoanut Grove orchestra. will play for one entire danc® group. Entertainment at intermissions will be furnished by Grove entertainers including Leah Ray. Lee Norton, and the Three Ambassadors.	*'
Bids are on sale today at the cashier's window of the University bookstore and by members of the ticket committee for $1.50. A representative of this group in each fraternity on campus. Football men are to receive their bid* at the door.

before the scholarship society of the South Pasadena 'ligh school.
