(NIEREST IS HIGH AS CLASS ELECTIONS ARE
HELD AT S.C. T
Class Elections of Officers of New Semester to Be Held Today
STUDENTS URGED TO VOTE
Biggest Class Meetings of Rear to Be Held at 1 1 :40 to Elect Officers
Interest is running high over the three class elections which are to be held today. The junior meeting is to be held in room 14. The sophomore meeting in room 240 and the fresh* man meeting in the chapel.
Last week class meetings were called for the nomination of second semester officers. The four meetings were all largely attended and nominations were made with a fervor which has not been evidenced for some time. Spirited rivalry was evidenced in all the meetings.
Senior elections were held Tuesday. A majority of the votes cast for president was not received by any of the three candidates. A majority was received by the other candidates.
A great deal of interest is being evidenced in the sophomore and fresn-man elections and bitter but keen rivalry has shown itself to be involved.
The presidents of the classes to hold elections tomorrow call attention to the importance of a 100 per cent attendance at the meetings.
FEBRUARY 5 CHOSEN AS DAY OF PRAYER
The day of prayer for colleges will be Thursday, February 5. Dr. John L. Seaton, assistant secretary of the board of education of the Methodist Episcopal church, says in a letter to Methodist college presidents:
“It is hoped that all the schools will have evangelistic meetings as early as possible, a few days of special effort culminating in the day of prayer, and a great in-gathering of converts and volunteers for life service at or near Easter. To promote the work the board of education plans to issue literature for distribution among the students. It has also secured an appropriation from the Centenary Conservation committees to pay the travelog expenses of speakers for the evan-gelistic meetings.”	_
Senior class meeting will be held at 11:40 a. m. In room 105. Clark Marshall and Ivan Sum-mers are still running for president. Anyone interested may see Marshall*# representative, Gen-ette Green, or Summer’s man-*0er, May Mortley, Claude "eevta announced yesterday afternoon.

CHARLEY PADDOCK LEA VES
FOR BIG EASTERN MEETS
Charley “Monty” Paddock, U. S. C.’s world champion sprinter, loaves tomorrow mforning for Pasadena on the Santa Fe to go to New York, where he is entered in several track meets of national prominence. He goes East at the invitation and expense of the Melrose Athletic Club of New York City, although he will represent the University of Southern California when he runs.
Paddock will stop off at Chicago for two or three days and train at the Illinois Athletic Club with Sholz, Missouri University’s lightning sprinter, and Bob Simpson, world champion hurdler, who is now track coach at the University of Missouri. The Trojan star will then go to New York where he will compete in the Melrose A. C. indoor championships.
Following the Melrose Athletic Club championships, there will be big indoor meets at Boston, New York and Chicago, in which Paddock may run. The junior and senoir indoor national championships to be held in New York City the second week in February, in which Paddock is entered, is one of the most important meets of the year.
Although Charley has a good chance of winning his races, he has never
run on an indoor track such as the big athletic clubs have in the East, and his inexperience on such a track may prove a handicap to him. In the Melrose meet, which will be held in Madison Square Garden in New York, he will run in the national 70-yard dash championships. In the indoor championships, he is considering entering the 300-yard handicap races.
Charley’s competitors will be the fastest sprinters in the country at the present day. He will run against Merchantson, St. Louis star, Loomis, the wonderful speedster of the Chicago Athletic Club, Hayes, Notre Dame winged demon ,and Sholz, U. of Missouri’s lightning bug. The iTrojan marvel will have no easy time in his running in the East, but his many followers among Southern California sport enthusiasts are confident that he will make good, and show Eastern critics that Western stars are not the “ham athletes” that cynical Easterners accuse them of being.
Paddock expects to arrive home in Pasadena on February 20. He will run for U. S. C. in the A. A. U. relay carnival in Los Angeles on February 21.
Sightseers See Queeners Queen
By M, B. Heichert
The time—the noon hour.
The place—the campus.
The day—any warm day when the sun shines.
The big yellow sight-seeing bus was leisurely passing our beloved institution of learning. A small redfaced man, perched on the “Captain’s seat,”* was speaking to his passengers through a megaphone. “On your right, iadies and gentlemen, you see the University of Southern California. On your left the most famous African-golf links in the State. The latter is, or was, a popular form of amusement among the
students.”
A little grey-haired easterner sat alone on the rear seat of the car, puffing vigorously at a large black Havana. He took no interest in the mention of the national (?) pastime. A slow smile did, however, creep over his rather grim face as his squint blue eyes swept our campus. Those same eyes took on a dreamy look of half-forgotten memories, for this is what he saw.
In Every Window Every window seat seemed filled with a pair—the “queener” and the “queened.” Those who were unfortunate enough as to be unable to get

Speedy Tigers Counting on Victory—Trojans Ready for Big Come-Back
ROOTERS ARE ORGANIZED
Game to Be Fight From First to Last — U. S. C. in Condition
Coach Henderson’s quintet of fighting Trojans will take on the kitten-less Tigers from Occidental College at the L. A. A. C. gym tonight at 8:15. From all indications it will be one of the fights the younger generation of movie goers see upon the screen, only more so.
Occidental has a speedier team this season that she had last. U. S. C. Is still smarting under the sting of two defeats, 20 to 26 and 23 to 21, which Oxy was pleased to hand the Cardinal and Gold. Occidental rooters are organized to boost their team to the limit.
This is the first important game for U. S. C,, and the first important game for Occidental outside the Southern California conference.
“The fate of the basketball team may be decided tonight,” Claude Reeves, A. S. B. president, stated. “If the students come through with thetr support, the tide of victory will be started in our direction. Give the men something to fight for and see them carry off Occidental’s goat. We already have their tiger, and with another addition we can start a menagerie of college animals. Tickets are two for 50 cents. Bring yourself and Lotta Jazz along.
Occidental College put on a good show Wednesday evening at Pasadena when Redlands handed them a 36 to 32 score. Occidental lost the game in the last few minutes on a fluke.
