PADDOCK BREAKS FOUR WORLD’S RECORDS
OFFICE SEEKERS OFFEu PETITIONS MONDAY AT NOON
Politicians Must Present Signed Petition to Get Names on Ballot
adhere to constitution
New Faces Make Appearance; Cassita Smith Now Entered for Secretary
By Paul E. Tix
According to an announcement made by Myrna Ebert yesterday, all office seekers who wish their names placed on the ballot must have their signed petitions in the hands of the executive committee by Monday noon at the latest.
Other points in connection with the coming campaign were taken up at a special meeting of the committee Monday and the final word on eligibility was given out.
The constitution will be followed strictly, according to the decision reached, and the candidate who does not come up to the requirements will not be permitted to enter the final heat of the race.
Constitutional Requirements The first thing that the prospective candidate must take into consideration is the appearance of the card which shows his last semester's grades. If 75 per cent of the subjects were not passed with a recommended grade, the would-be Job holder is out of luck. And if that hill is mounted, the runner must face one other barrier. When all is said and done, the executive committee has the final word. If the noble men and women do not like the looks of any of the contestants, that contestant simply does not run.
The candidate for president of the student body must have been in college three years, with one of those three years spent at U. S. C. The vice-president must have been In college two years, as do the athletic manager, the Trojan editor and the secretary. The manager of the Trojan can get by one year at college and the executive committee members are likewise blessed in that respect.
New Face in the Lineup Cassita Smith will try for the secretaryship. She is a popular member of the student body and is well known as a worker.
Nominations will take place next Tuesday noon. At that time the will-bes and would-bes will be paraded before the student body as a whole and the real battle will commence.
All Rumor As mentioned in theso columns not so long ago was the rumor that Miss Mildred lleinze might be prevailed “Pon to run for vice-president. But Ihis proved to be more rumor than ■act, and Miss Heinze has deiinitely oeddPd to stay out ot the running. This is a shame, and makes Paul E.
feel woebegone becuuse he had counted on casting his vote that way— Perhaps.

Breaking away from the custom of staging plays in auditoriums off of the campus, the College of Oratory will present three one-act plays in the “V” Hut tomorrow night.
The three plays chosen are “Where But in America?" written by Oscar Wolf; “The Florist Shop,” by Winifred Hawkins, and “The Rescue,” from the pen of Rita Creighton Smith. In preparation for the presentation, the stage of the “V” assembly hall has been completely renovated, and special settings have been designed for the plays.
In presenting three one-act plays instead of one full play, the U. 9. C. College of Oratory is only following a vogue, according to Miss Hubbard, who directs the playlets. The dramatic departments of other universities, such as Harvard, Columbia and California, have been successfully presenting one-act plays for some time.
Comparing the relative merits of an evening's entertainment made up of three one-act plays, and a single play taking up a whole evening, Or. (law, head of the English department, remarked yesterday; “It is like reading a magazine or a novel. Many more people would rather read a number of magazines than a novel.
‘‘The three one-act plays offer a greater opportunity for variety." Re garding the playlets to be given to-I morrow night, Dr. Gaw said: “'ilie Florist Shop’ is an excellent one-act play. It presents a delightful romance.
I “Where, But in America" is very good. As the title suggests, the action could have taken place only in America. It shows America as tlie land of democracy.”
Study in Psychology “The Rescue," a psychological study from the Harvard 47 Workshop, is played in the atmosphere of an old family mansion, where for years insanity had been passed from genertaion to generation. Irene Treusdaye, Mabel Terry and Faye Kern are in the cast.
I The selection of pluys is a selection I from select situations “The Florist shop. The roles were first enacted by Harvard collection of one-act plays They had their Inception in the now famous Professor Baker’s 47 Workshop. Theroles were flrst enacted by members of the Harvard Dramatic Club founded by Edward Eyre Hunt and Edward Sheldo. author of “Romance," now enjoying a successful revival in New York, and a number of
other "hits.”
Oscar M. Wolf’s ‘‘Where, But ln America,” is considered by many one of tha cleverest one-act plays ever written It received recognition in Mvra Myorja’s “Representative One^ \ct Piavs of America,” a selection of i hundred of America's best one-act olays.

iROJANS LOSE A. A. U. MEET AT REDLANDS
Relay Team Sent North; Take Home Both Mile and Half-Mile Relay
SAGEHENS COP MEET
Many High Schools and Colleges Enter 200 Sprinters and Field Men
While Charlie Paddock electrified 3,000 spectators with his record-breaking performances, the U. S. C. track and field team struggled in vain to grasp first place in the annual A. A. U. meet at Redlands April 23 from the clutches of the Pomona “Sagehens.” Two hundred athletes from the southland colleges, high schools and the L. A. A. C. competed in the biggest meet of the season. Splendid records were made in a majority of tlje events despite disagreeable weather and a threatening rain.
Pomona Springs Surprises By uncorking some unusual form in the distances, Pomona’s long winded gents walked away with the first three places in the half mile, first, third and fourth positions in the mile, first in the two-mile and third in the quarter. In the face of this opposition, U. S. C. was only able to finish six points behind Pomona for second place in the meet. Also, Kilby of Redlands, a sure bet' for first in the quarter, withdrew just before the race to save himself for the relay. This later was found to be folly, because Redlands won the relay event by a 100-yard margin.
Relay Team Stars Up North Saturday, April 23, was a banner day for U. S. C. On the same afternoon, four men, Isenhouer. Leahy, Wilson and Schiller, romped to victory in the Washington relay carnival held in

S. C. THEATRE PENNANT
Unexpectedly, the bold Occidental warriors exhibited signs of good taste last Thursday by annexing the U. S. C. rally pennants which decorated the lobby of the California theater as a drawing card for the U. S. C. Glee Club.
The unprecedented bravery occurred in the fact that at 10 o’clock, when nobody was looking, they grabbed the pennants and ran.
They Just couldn't reBlst the opportunity of a return slap at U. S. C. in retaliation for the borrowing of their beloved tiger last year. They have never fully recovered from the ignom-ings of losing their pet. The insult has rankled and as they have never been able to find the kitty, they took the pennants Instead.

“Shall I show up at the Senior Street’ Show?” “I’ll say so—to the L. A. High School auditorium, May 7,
at 8:00.”
The Senior Road Show is an annual event, but the presentation planned for this year is to be the largest ever considered. Proceeds regularly go to buy a present for the school, and this precedent will be followed by the class of ’21. Joe Ryan is manager of this evening of surprises and thrills.
L. A. High has one of the largest nnd best equipped stages in the city. There is also plenty of room to park machines around the "Pioneer” building, so come one, come all, and bring the Rolls-Royce.
Fifty cents is the price which will purchase a ticket, and there will be no reserved seats. Tickets are on sale now, and may be obtained from any one of the following Senior students:' Joseph Ryan, Lucille Munn, Earle Hazelton or John Murkey.
Eight exotic acts, varied in the extreme, comprise the program. Some of the numbers are still veiled in impenetrable mystery, while others have been announced in all their glory.
Lance and Lute, honorary dramatic society, will present “Poor Old Jim,” which scored a signal success at the Hollywood Community Theatre last season. Clark Marshall, formerly a student here, is the featured player. He played with Frank Keenan in “John Ferguson,” and is leaving, in the near future, on a tour of the Eastern cities. Loretta Roberts, an oratory post-graduate student, is well known in the school. , Miss Roberts and Joe Ryan will support Clark Marshall in “Poor Old Jim.”
Several dances from the Mission Play at San Gabriel will add a splash of color and a touch of enchanting sound with tlieir gorgeous costumes and clinking castanets.
The U. S. C. quartet, which made such a lilt at the California Theatre last week, will appear on the program. ThU includes Harold Taft, Howard Coy, Howard Bridegroom and Archie Thornton. A Bklt showing the inte rior of a sang shop Is being worked out, woven about several clever vocal numbers.
Rumor has it that the L. A. A C. will fend two boxers, probably Eddy Mattie, “the kalm, kool, kollected kid,” i nd Jimmy Woodward, U. S. C.’s boxing instructor.
An Orpheum feature Is assured— miff said.
The “veiled mysteries” will be an nounced later.

U. S. C. NOSED OUT IN CLOSE MEET BY POMONA COLLEGE
Charles W. Paddock, the winged foot Mercury of modern times, proved decisively that he is the world's greatest distance annihilator when, in the A. A. U. meet, at Redlands, last Saturday, he shattered four world records, tied one, and ran one race in time that only he himself has bettered. In doing so, he established marks that brand him as the fastest human being that has ever worn spikes since stop-watches were Invented.
All in Two Races
The East may doubt and some may say that only “seeing Is believing,” but when twenty expert timers all agree that the records set up by Paddock nre correct, according to latest time pieces invented, one can only conclude that the A. A. U. officials should consider these new marks as final. Bob Weaver, president of the A. A. U., maintains that Paddock's records will stand.
These remarkable performances were made by Sir Charles in two races. The 100-yard dash nnd 100-meter run were Included ln one race, Paddock breaking two tapes. This happened In the fore-part of the afternoon. With a tremendous burst of speed the IT. S. C. sprinter finished the 100-yard dash in
9	3-5 seconds. Getting his stride immediately. he bounded on and finished Ihe 100-meter run in 10~2-5 seconds. He completed the 100-ynrd dash in time that equals the world’s record.
Just to show those who doubted thal he could never break another record. Ire clipped one-fifth of a second off of the 100-meter dash. The old record of
10	B-B seconds was made by D. F. Lip-pinoott in 1012, at the Olympic games

PLANS cm NIGHTS
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday May Be Used for Business Meetings
No longer may fraternities entertain a favored sorority at a dance after Monday Light fraternity meeting; gone is the opportunity /or colds to return social obligations by inviting their friends to “drop in” after meeting.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of each school week shall be known as "closed nights” on which no social affars of any nature shull be given by organizations composed of university students, except by special permission from the Student Welfare Committee.
Such were the regulations recently recommended by the Student Welfare Committee iu conjunction with the deans of the Schools of Pharmacy,
Civil Engineering and Oratory and by the executive committee of tlie Associated Students. These regulations have been approved by the administration aud will become effective on May 10.
The reaction of the flitudents to whom this information has come, varies considerably. Some feel that the decision is u good thing, and that there is plenty of opportunity for social life Friday and Saturday evenings.
Others in whom social psychologists would probably say the gregarious instinct is strong, weep and wail and gnash their teeth—figuratively—and deplore the approaching curtailment of their customary social life. However, the majority of students have heartily Indorsed the new policy.
The new rtfles further recommend that all business meetings conducted by organizations on closed nights should end not later than nine-thirty;
that all social engagements must close neVerly Hills and Maryland Hotels not later than twelve o’clocki p nr;	bo<;n	ted blU whether there

the start of the 220-yard dash, the spectators were frantic. They wanted to see Charlie Paddock accomplish what trainers all over the country thought was impossible. Four tapes were stretched across the course, at the 200 meter, 220-yard, 300-yard and 300 meter. At the crack of the starter's gun all eyes were centered on Paddock. He thundered on down the course yards ahead of Blalock, his nearest rival. Then, without any keen competition, ho proceeded on making history as he went. At the 200 meter mark he checked in at 21 1-5, at the 220-yard mark his time was 21-2-5 seconds. At Ihe 300-yard mark his time was 30 1-5 seconds, bettering the existing record by 2-5 of a second. The old record was established in September, 1806. One more tape remained, and with only one object ln view—to shatter one more record,—he dashed on, crowning his great performance by breaking the 300 meter run world’s record ln 33 4-5 seconds. Tho old record established iu 1008 by Fallot, of France, was 36 3-5 seconds.
Runs Against Odds It was anything but a good day for Biich performances, lt was cold and the slight wind that was blowing was found to be disadvantageous. This failed to discourage Charlie, as he was determined to win. It has been said that he has "hunches," nnd that they have significance. This certainly proved correct, Saturday, for he went to Redlands with a “hunch” that he would make good time.
Paddock Is ln the pink of condition. From the time he left grammar school, nearly eight years ago, he has been a sprinter of considerable note, but only began attracting world-wide attention when lie won the 100-meter dash at the Inter-Allied track nnd fiold gumes ln 1018. At the Olympic games of 1920 he won this same event from tho best runners In tho world.
Starts Landslide at Berkeley Although recognized as the greatest sprinter of the present time, he only came Into tho world record class this season. He started his campaign against all existing world sprint records when he ran the furlong at Berkeley in 20 4-5 seconds. Then at Stanford. four days after hls feat, he made 21 seconds flat In the 220 and for the second time equaled the world’s hundred-yard dash record.
Plans to Go East Charles Is now planning to go east and run in tho I. C. A. A. A. U. meet to be held at Pennsylvania In Ihe near future. Here he will endeavor to lower the 100-yard daBh record as well as make unothor attempt to break a few of his own marks.
By h's recont performances. Paddock proved to the sport world that his records nre not In anyway "fluky,” and that, oven though the marks were made ln (ho West, they ure legitimate and worthy of standing as final. He also proved that (ho West rivals (ho East in producing foremost athletes of the world. After scouring thoroughly the achievements of the Western nlh-le(es in every field of sports, the following corollary suggests Itself: When better athletes are produced, the Weat will produce them.
Senior Banquet Arrangements Move Rapidly Forward
