Junior-Senior Banquet at Vista Del Arroyo June 8
BIG SUPRISES PROMISED FOR ONLY FORMAL
Banquet Committee Is Working Overtime Preparing Plans For Annual Affair
GROSS WANTS COMPANION
Students Intending to Go Must Sign Up Not Later Than Friday
Bent upon making the senior-junior banquet one of the memorable events in the lives of the present upperclass men, Dwight Reay, banquet manager, and his corps of assistants are neglecting il.eir class studies and are devoting their whole time to preparing plans for the only formal university social event of the college year. The banquet will take place next Wednesday at the Vista Del Ai*royo Hotel, in Pasadena. Promptly at the sound of half past six, the upper classmen will rush to the tables, and the banquet will be under way.
After the seniors and juniors have consumed their portions of olives or almonds, or whatever appetiser the hotel may provide, Albert Butterfield, president of the junior class, will greet the seniors. Al has promised to make his speech as brief as possible. Earle Hazelton, president of the seniors, will give a response. Gross Alexander will read the invocation and will be followed by Dr. George F. Bovard, president of the university, with a toast for the success of the affair.
Waiters will be at hand to rush in with the soup. The orchestra will immediately pick up its cue and play one of the grand selections from “Aida," or some other piece noted for volume.
GLEE CLUB TO EAT
Contrary to the traditions, the Men’s Glee Club will sing between courses. This innovation is being in troduced Jargely through the influ ence of Archie Thorton, one of the chief birds among the warblers. Thorton believes that the members of the glee club should partake of just as much food as the others present. He is opposed to the theory that artists must suffer in order that their art may achieve fullest expression.
“Smoke" Turner, who has appeared on the stage and recently played ill the motion picture, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse,” will entertain with a monologue.
The College of Oratory will present a short skit. Glen Ingles is in charge Albert Butterfield will be toastmaster for the evening. Butter being so OlOMly associated with toast, the Juniors expect Al to make ’em crispy, according to Lindley Bothwell, who is in charge of the posters.
NOTHING OVERLOOKED In preparing for the event, the banquet committee has not overlooked a single opportunity to arrange the details in a manner that would be in Keeping with the occasion, declares Gladys ('rail. For example, the committee spent several weeks trying to find a place whose very location suggested up to date prohibition days, and the Arroyo Seco (dry river) was selected. "However," assures,Miss Crail, this does not mean that the party "ill not be a merry one.”
Miss ('rail is in charge of placing the card*. Juniors and seniors, who wish to have certain cards placed at table next to each other are advised, °y Albert Butterfield, to see the young lady as Boon as possible.
Monna Bethune and Charlotte Kassil are in charge of the decorations, "all dowers do not enter into the color scheme, say the Misses Bethune «*nd Hastall.

BAKER REPRESENTS S.C.
CONTEST THIS EVENING
Lambert Baker, winner of Bowen cups and numerous other speaking contests, will represent U. S. C. at the Japanese oratorical contest to be held at Occidental this evening at 8 o’clock.
According to Merle McGinnis, debating manager, Baker won the preliminary contest here over the best talent in the University, and, in view of the fact that he won the Old Line Intercollegiate contest in 1919, following that with a successful speaking year at Indiana State University, the prospect for anpther victory for U. S. C. seems almost assured.
U. S. C. entrants have been given poor support in recent contests, other schools turning out enthusiastic rooting sections, according to McGinnis, and he asks every student to support Baker at Occidental this evening Following close upon the capture of the silver cup and gold medal by A. G. Freeman in the Old Lint contest at Oxy on May 19, orators of the other colleges are preparing to make the building fairly tremble in their efforts to convince the judges.
Occidental, Whittier, Pomona, California Tech., S. B. U. C„ Redlands and w. S. C. are the seven colleges to be represented this evening
The judges on delivery are Dean in. McCormack of the Pro-Cathedral, and Mr. A. W. Frye, president of the .ity Club. The third man has not yet been determined upon. The orations have been graded on thought and com position by Mr. W. H. Anderson, a local attorney; Mr. 1>. Joseph Coyne, head of the Social Service Commission, and Mr. I 1). Perry, of Los An geles High School. Dr. Allison Gaw acted an Judge selector.

C. news gatherers about the trials and tribulations of a city reporter. Gilbert Brown, city editor of the Record, will be a guest of the club.	. .. .
All journalism students are invited io be guests. This will be the last social meeting of the year and Lew Wiles, president of the club, urges every member to be present.
Crushing Pomona last Tuesday by the overwhelming score of 10 to 2, the Trojan baseball machine made good its title to the championship of Southern California in the last game of the 1921 season. The hostilities took place at Exposition Park, before a large crowd of U. S. C. and Pomona rooters; the latter had very little to say after the flrst- inning. This fact is remarkable, in view of the fact that, from their standpoint, the game could hardly be termed satisfactory. In the first half of the first inning the Sagehens failed to score, the pitching of Hinrichs and the fielding of his teammates being effective in preventing any runs, though one runner reached second. Henderson’s squad started with all the fight that has distinguished them in almost every game they have played this season.
Taking advantage of every miscue, bonehead play, and lack of team-work on the part of the Blue and White, the Trojans shoved five runs over the plate in the flrst inning and stowed the game away in the refrigerator while so doing. The visitors might just as well have packed up the.r suits and gone home before the first three outs had been made by U. S. C. men, for, by that time they were so far in the hole that a battleship engine wouldn’t have had the power to pull them out.
Four More in Fourth For the rest of the game the Trojans loafed along, so to speak, copping four runs in the fourth and one in the fifth. Pomona chased a m„n across in the second and one more in the fifth, after which they became peaceful under the Influence of the Cardinal and Gold team-work. Hinrichs pitched a steady game, keeping, the hits scattered and depending on his teammates in most of the pinches action, which was fully justified by snappy infield play, with frequent dou ble outs throughout the game. Occa sionally the Trojans booted the ball, but their work was far superior to that of the Sagehens, who frequently acted as though the sight and feeling of a baseball was entirely new to them.
Schmitz Plays Good Ball Behind the bat, Bill Schmitz, catching his last college game as captain of the team, displayed class in every department of play. He caught a fault less game, handling Hinrichs’ delivery with ease and making the would be baserunners resemble porous plasters, more than anything else. Only one base was stolen In the entire gtuno, and in view of Pomona’s reputation as a fast team, this is a remarkably good record. At the bat, Schmitz failed to hit, but hiB sacrificing of runners was timely and responsible for advancing of runners on two occasions.
Kuhns, at center, smashed out three hits and handled his chances without an error. Bill Isenhour, playing for the flrst time this year, got two safe bingles and made no misplayB at second base Kuhns had not been In ac tion for the two games previous to the final one, on account of his part In the Junior play, and his work Tuesday did much to strengthen the team. For the losers, Andrews at second played a consistent game, as did Allen in left field Both men got two hits each and made no errors.
First Four Cross Plate In the first inning, the flrst four Tro | Jans at bat made runs. Farrar, Her lihy, Isenhour and Kuhns all reached flrst and made the round trip by sclen
DEMAND FOR FINAL EXAMS. RILES SENIORS
Scholarship Committee Issues Statement Requiring Seniors to Attend 7 o’Clock Classes.
BREAKS ALL PRECEDENT
Upper Classmen Reply to Committee; Class Unanimous in Its Objection.
Seniors have declared war on the faculty of I'. S. C. On May 2 tho faculty scholarship committee decided that the seniors should undergo final exams. On May 25 the seniors decided that they should not submit to such a decision.
It has been the custom formerly that the seniors should liot take final examinations at the end of the last semester of the year. This custom has been practiced in the East. Fol lowing this tradition, the seniors had not planned for exams, and had made other arrangements, which will have to be abandoned if finals arc insti tuted.
When the report of the scholarship committee was read at the last senior meeting it was met by an outburst of derision. The seniors declared that such a radical change in policy was given on too short notice and was not fair. It was agreed that such a change should have been announced one semester before commencement.
Scholarship Committee Report The report read to the seniors follows:
“The scholarship committee, at their meeting on Monday, May 2, voted to recommend to the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts that, since there has been some misunderstanding in regard to the practice of excusing senior students from certain final examinations during the last semester in college, there should be substituted, at the discretion of Instructors, pre-final examinations, or, in lieu of these, where the nature of the course seems to render it preferable, term papers.
“Since the grades for senior Btudents must be in not later than June 11, it is not feasible for them to take their final examinations with the other students. It Is not the purpose of the committee that the special examination fee be charged for these pre-final examinations.”
Since the faculty found no regular class periods suitable for exposing the seniors to their finalB, they have asked them to attend 7 o’clock classes in order to take their exams.
Senior Defiance The resolution passed by the senior class follows:
‘Whereas, it has bee- ‘'ustomary to excuse seniors from finul examinations immediately preceding commencement;
‘And whereas lt is now only two weeks and two days until regular finals begin;
And whereas many seniors would feel it were necessary to abandon certain Individual and collective plans that have already been made, in order to make the necessary preparation for final examinations or to write them 'Therefore, be lt resolved that the Senior class express a very strong and earnest protest against being sub jected fo the ordeal of finaL examlna tions; and be it resolved that the pres ident and secretary of the class of 1921 request the faculty of this College of Liberal Arts of the University * Southern California to reject the report of the scholarship committee on May 2, recommending final or prefinal examinations or term papers for the senior class during the second semester of the school year 1920-21."
DOLLAR BALANCE DUE TOMORROW JUNIORS MUST LEAVE’ ADDRESSES
For the first time in the history of the school, El Rodeo will not appear on the campus before the closing day of the year. The printer’s strike, which is now in progress, makes it impossible for the publishing company to finish the year book on time.

Dear Sir;

We sincerely regret that such is tho case, and realize that unless the student body co-operates with you by giving its support in every way pos sible it is going to bo very hard for

With the election of Le Roy Wolfe, Friday, May 27, president of next year’s junior class, and other class officers, the present sophomore contingent performed thoir last rites as second year students In the university.
Beginning at 12:00 noon, Friday, until 3:00 p. in., a goodly niunber of junlors-elect registered a vote, ln what turned out to be one of the closest elections held on this campus for many seasons. Only five votes prevented Max Chamberlain, other contestant for the presidency, fron- receiving tho cov eted honor. Approximately sixty per cent of the class voted.
El Rodeo Race Not Close
Deviating slightly from the usual trend of affairs on Friday, Al Wesson, famous campus humorist and journal 1st, captured the editorship of the 1923 El Rodeo, ln decisive form. Tho final count showed Al to be over u two to one favorite over Sarah Taft Somers, the co-ed entrant In this race.

Book to Be Mailed “This co-oporatlon makes it necessary for ub to mail the book to the students during the lattef part of the month,” said Manager Mulholland. "Tho annual will undoubtedly be ready for mailing Juno 30.”
“This entails a great deal of work on the part of the business staff of El Rodeo, and the purchasers of the year book can bo of gTeat assistance by being patient and complying with the rules which we have been obliged to set down to cover the emergency."
Mulholland has obtained the summer addresses of all the purchasers of the book, with the exception of the Junior class members. The members of this class must, place their addresses In the book which Is to be on tho table in the south hall. Those not doing so, will receive no El Rodeo.
Balance Due Tomorrow The balance of one dollar, which each purchaser own, must bo paid tomorrow. Each college will have a representative in a conspicuous place, and there will also bo a place In the main hall, where all students may make their last payment. Failure to pay the balance will result In the forfeiture of the $2.75 already paid.
The failure of the year book to appear on May 30 can bo attributed only to the strike, as Florence Gilbert, tho editor, and Mulholland had everything in readiness In ample time.

West romped all over East last Saturday when the University of California won the big I.C.A.A.A.A. track and field championships held at Harvard Stadium with 27% points. Harvard University finished a close second with 27 points. Stanford University took fifth in the meet with 15 points.
Tho result of the groat Intercollegiate championships was a tremendous victory for the westerners, who showed that they had u remarkable all-round team by placing ln eight events. When Hutchinson, Cal’a little speed demon, placed third ln the 220, the last event of tho day, and brought home tho throe points that ruined ol' Jawn Hawvahd's lead, the Blue and Gold showed the East that Jt was the Wiest which produced the athletes,
Hendrixson of California won the 4 40 ln 49 seconds Hat; Brick Mueller tied with Dick Landon of Yale in the high Jump at tt feet 3 Vi inches; I’esky Sprott took second to Earl Eby of the University of Pennsylvania ln the 880 at 1:55:1; Hutchinson took fourth in the century und third in tho furlong; and altogether the ('alifornia athletes performed ln wonderful shape. Morris Kirksey of Stanford, the only man in the United states capable of giving our little Charles William a thrill In the sprints, won the 100 easily ln 10 flat. Stanford's four man track team performed a remarkable feat lu grabbing 15 points out of the meet.
Had Useless Sea entered a team in the meet, the Troans would have stood an excellent chance of placing well up among the leaders. With Spec Schiller and Gwynn Wilson, both 49 second men in the 4 40; Swede Evans and Johnny Boyle in the discus, l)lck Emmons in thu pole vault, and last and greatest Charley Paddock In the sprints, tbe Cardinal and Gold would have stood an easy chanee of copping fron 15 to 20 joints out of the meet.
