liimniittee Will Solicit From Those Who Had No Opportunity to Give
[Sorority girls at the booths yqster-ip tackled every person who entered [main building, and extracted from Ruling purses amounts varying from edollar to twenty-five dollars for the diversity Service fund.
I It seems as though no one wanted I get by the coeds without giving mething for tbe campaign.
|The amount collected has not yet i checked up, but the finance com-tee believes that the drive will go ■the top.
Pay- Spot Cash |in interesting sidelight on yester-f's campaign was the fact that few pople took advantage of the privi-etosign pledges, which will become rable on May 1. Most of the stunts came to school in the morning to give on the spot.
Everyone to Be Solicited lose who have not contributed will lersonally solicited by men of the Bee committee at their homes, of business and fraternity and rity houses.
r opinion seems to be that fbetter to give voluntariJy.

BATE ON “TROJAN”
FEATURES MEETING
Raucous, rattling noises, resembling a mixture of a hail storm on a tin roof and a march played by the U. S. C. band, will greet the ears of the Venice populace, along with the dull sounds of the milkman, the braying of the warking roosters, et cetera, Friday morning. Newshounds, from editor to the lowly “cubs” and “cubesses” will hie to the beach town to teach the beach wanderers and watchers how to run a daily paper. To be explicit, the department of journalism will publish the Venice Vanguard, Friday.
Owners of the beach paper are tickled almost to death to think that the pen pushers and typewriter chauffeurs from this institution of learning are going to take over their weary wrork for a day. They feel that U. S. C. can put a “kick” into Venice. Well, some people believe that II. S. C. can do anything, and the journalism class is not worried about finding news for its edition of the Vanguard. Perhaps the newshounds will find a “kick” or two in Venice. One never knows, as some fool poet once prognosticated. Anyway, if Mack Sennett happens to be on the beach with his “equipment” taking some pictures, a fairly good idea of what this summer’s bathing suits will resemble can be had. The sport editor is praying for a clear day, Mack’s presence, and nothing to do but watch the antics.
Tommy Big Boss Tommy Metcalfe will handle tbe desk and be the big boss for the day He will have half a dozen assistant editors, more or less, perhaps need more. Flverything in Venice, from the city dump to the police station, and from the bottom of the grand canal to the end of the pier, will be investigated for Stories.
Venice expects IT. S. C. to put a “kick” into their paper for a day. Venice shall have her wish, and it will lie Wronger than any 2.75 kick, if plans live up to expectations. PeeV^eGee will give them a column of his contem-
--| oorary, or contemptible poetry. The
,reen Stockings," the junior class’ Bug Reporter will give them the details *8gful comedy, made niohey fori of his latest cootie drive and the Ram-1 cla88 as well as entertainment for j bl n’ Rook may give; them another ren student body, according to Man- dition of “Dirty Nella.” Anyhow, it J J°hn Markey, who stated that | will be a grand party for the Trojans.

POET SPEAKS HERE
Vachel Lindsay Entertains Audience in Chapel With Readings of His Poems
Vachel Lindsay, one of tlie most noteworthy of modern American poets, gratified the endless search of twentieth century people for a new sensation when he presented some of his poems in chapel, yesterday.
Mr. Lindsay is distinctly different. His work is so unusual that once heard, it can never be forgotten. His choice of words and subject matter is <>0 graphic and virile that it is very effective, and his wonderful, variable voice, coupled wtih his original method of presentation, give his poems a most favorable setting.
His first selection. “The Chinese Nightingale,” vividly portrayed the glamor, the mystery of China, and his ing-song voice completed the oriental tmosphere.
In the “Congo” one was able to see the grinning negro crap-shooter, the howling darky who had gotten religion, and the primitive black man of Africa creeping stealthily through the seeHi ing swamps and the murky shadows of the tangled jungle. Mr. Lindsay’s por trayal of the wail of the tribesmen and 'ie boom of the drums was actually Mail ■raising.
A southerner’s exposition of Andrew 'ackson’s part on the world war, con tributed the humor to the program The over-exaggeration in this poem ■is not in the least objectionable, as it nlv made the picture more real.
It is alm6st impossible to appreciate Vachel Lindaav's eenins with only a t acquaintance with his poe-but students of literature concede him place among the first American poets.
“STOP THIEF!” BY HIGH
JUNIORS ON APRIL 23
“Stop Thief!” the junior play of the University high school, will he presented on the evening of April 23 at the V hut. Following is the cast:
Joan Carr, Adele Harris; Mrs. Carr, Edna Walker; Caroline Carr, Ruth Hudson; Madge Carr, Virgie Gonga); Nell, Eunice Bird: Mr Carr, Jack Helms: .Jas. Cluny, Clarence Hunt; Dr. Willoughby, George Fenter; Davison, Steven Miller; Minister, Reggie Griffin: Jack Dugan, Louis Foster; Detective, Gordon Mills; Sargeant, Charles Greely.
official notice and anyone failing to obey the summons will automatically be considered guilty, receiving no trial and laying himself open to unusually severe penalties. The offences vary from making fun of a senior cap and gown to enriching the campus with great quantities of tobacco juice, and it is rumored that the offender who succeeds in proving his innocence will have to have the eloquence of Webster, Cicero and Demosthenes and Johnny Robinson combined.
The long sleep out of which the traditions committee has awakened with such suddenness is evidently a thing of the past, and the court is expected to work with the rapidity of a student arriving on the campus at 9 o’clock and trying to get to an 8:65 lass. The historic statement of Na poleon, as he crossed the Delaware: “After that the deluge,” is expected to apply to the trial tomorrow.
The jury will be composed of the following twelve men while Judge Paul Wilcox will preside: George Garner, John Markey, Clarence Perkins, Robert Chesnut, Charles Casey, Gwynn Wilson, Charles Ainley, Earl Hazelton Lawrence Hewitt, Noel George and Jimmie Woodward.

Speaking of shoes,home missions simply means a shoe on one foot Wear two shoes.
Why doesn’t the man who fought so firavely to free the world from Prus sianism give a dollar to free the world of ignorance and filth?

The soldier who doesn’t believe in foreign missions and who believes in home missions, yet wouldn’t give a dollar to home missions is sure full of over heated air.
