NOMINATIONS MADE FOR A. S. B. OFFICERS
Studnts Display Much
Enthusiasm at Meeting
All political developments that have been kept more or less dark to the student body in general for the past few weeks wore unearthed yesterday when the Associated Student Body nominations were held at 12: 30 in the chapel.
At last mere political “gossip” has subsided on the campns and in its place has come the spirited flre of genuine campaigns so common to the history of the Trojan institution. Officers were nominated for all positions in the student body of U. S. C. ranging from president to office boy of the Trojan. Although the method differed in part, the general effect might well be compared to tho national Republican or Democratic nominating conventions held recently tn other sections of the country.
Speeches Feature the Day
Representative students from every class rose to their feet in turn to give as best they could a short but effec tive speech for some favorite son or daughter who had decided to brave the wrath of rivals and the political
U.S.C.ENTERS TEAM AT PACIFIC COAST !E MEET
U. S. C. will enter a team in the Pacific Coast Conference track and field meet to be held at Corvallis, Oregon, Saturday, May 21. For the first time in its history, U. S. C. will compete with the big colleges of the coast in a regular track meet. Relay carnivals are excluded in this classification. Not only will U. S. C. enter a formidable track team, but. the chances stand about seven to five that the Southern runners will bring home the pennant.
California Track Men East The strong U. C. track team, comprising nearly ten athletes, will not be among those competing for honors at Corvallis. Both California and Stanford have sent men east to compete in meets there, so the complexion of the northern meet has been changed considerably.
Coach Dean Cromwell arrived on the campus Monday afternoon from Oregon. where he has spent several weskii. He had high hopes of victory up north, and will begin immediately to get his men in shape for the trip. Although U. S. C. is not a member of the conference, full credit is to be liven for all points won by her athletes. Should U. S. C. win the championship, full recognition will be given.
Whole Team Going
Alont; with the champion relay team I- S. C. will send Charlie Paddock and “Ssvede” Evans. This list, how ever, is only tentative, and more men ®ay be added before next Monday, the time of the team's departure.
All of the lig universities of the c°ast have entered their most promis !n8 pomt-winners, with the exception V. C. and Stanford. O. A. C., of ''ashjnfiton, Washington State and the U. of Oregon have entered teams.

storm which is to culminate in a stu dent body election May 17, 1921 Twenty-two students have entered the race for ten positions in the stu dent body that will be vacated at the end of the current year in June Voltaire Perkins, noted debater from the College of Law, opened the day with a stirring speech nominating Merle McGinnis for president of the student body. After his three minutes were up and the shouting subsided Scott nominated Kennedy Ellsworth, the other candidate for chief executive Noise that fairly threatened the stability of the overhead rafters pealed forth from the throats of the enthus lastic assembly after the nomination of each presidential nominee.
Vice-President Next Paul Greene opened the campaign of the three co-ed aspirants for vice-president by nominating Blanche Gauthier. Charles Paddock followed with an appeal for Gladys Crail. He again came in for a share of political speaking when he nominated Eddie Leahy for athletic manager. Joe Ryan nominated Reeta Walker, the third female candidate in this race.
Women candidates continued to fill the ballot when Cassita Smith and Cora Baker were nominated for secre tary of the Asociated Student Body Gross Alexander and Al Wesson introduced the young women in the order named.
Editor Nominees Follow
The two men in the race for editor or the Trojan were introduced by able speakers. John Dockweiler spoke for Carl H. Farman and Charles Casey presented Lew Wiles’ platform.
Lindley Bothwell and Eddie Leahy were both nominated for the position of athletic manager. The names of both men were kept somewhat concealed until yesterday.
After the various officers were announced as in the running, the nominations for members of the executive committee followed. . Eleven names were suggested by an equal number of faithful backers. Only one name was entered for the graduate representative on the committee—that of Edwin Fisher. The other students nominated for this committee were in full: Helen Tobie, Muriel Arkely, Albert Butterfield, Florence Gilbert, Eve-lin Griffin, C. C. Miller, Floyd Tarr, R. G. Wilkinson, Marquita Wardman and Fred Axe.
Presidential Candidates Speak Merl McGinnis, first to be nominated, gave a three-minute acceptance speech, outlining very briefly his platform. His keynote was a Greater U S. C., student card, admitting bearer to all University activities, closer cooperation among the various colleges and a more definite social unity.
Kennedy Ellsworth also rose to the occasion and gave a brief outline of his platform. In effect his plea was the same as the other candidate. His two main points were solidity of University spirit, and a Greater U. S. C. Both candidates received hearty applause, the proportion of which would have been difficult to estimate.
Exactly one week from yesterday, on May 17, the student body elections are scheduled to take place, the intervening time being spent iu extensive political campaigning.
LOS ANCEEES RECORD
FOR S. C. JOURNALISTS
Opportunity for those who are enrolled in the new journalism major to get a foretaste of practical newspaper work is to be offered by a co-operative arrangement with the Los Angeles Record.
Feature work, straight reporting, special assignments and all the other pastimes indulged in by those who work on a newspaper staff will be given to the journalism sharks.
Through the courtesy of Ted Cooke, managing editor of the Record, the budding journalists will be placed in regular staff berths, the work to be done in the afternoon. The assignments will be under the direction of Lew Wiles, who will occupy the position of chief student executive, and assistant to the city editor of the Record. Wiles will be in the Record office during the afternoon, and all students doing the work will report to him.
Arranged by Professor Goodnow
This opportunity has been brought about through the efforts of Marc N. Goodnow, instructor in journalism. Mr. Cooke, managing editor of the Record, is a journalism man from the University of Washington, and is enthusiastic in his belief in a college education as a preparation for practical newspaper work, according to Profes sor Goodnow. Such an opportunity, for advance training is rarely offered the coJlege student, and tlie jouf-nalists of U. S. C. may count themselves fortunate in being able to take advantage of this practical oppor-lunity, adds Mr. Goodnow.
To Be Permanent
The arrangement is to be carried on next year also, and will become a part of the journalism course, says Professor Goodnow. It will be a unique institution, he says, and will contribute much toward making the journalism major at U S. C. one of the best and most practical of the courses offered in the Un,versity.
TROJANS LOSE TWO GAMES TO WILDCAT NINE

TROJANS MEET L. A. A. C
Desert Players Win Series by Squeeze Play and a Couple of Long Drives.
With three games played in Arizona during the past week-end, and another match game with the L. A. A. C. nine yesterday, the result coming in too late for today’s Trojan, Coach Hender son’s bunch of ball tossers have had plenty on their hands during the past few days. The Arizona squad took the series, two out of three, but were forced to step to do it, the third game going 11 innings, with the Trojans ln the lead up to the last half of the last frame. At this point the Wildcat linked up a couple of long drives with a squeeze play and put the series on ice.
Trojans Start Strong
The first game of the three wa played last Thursday and in it the Trojans showed their top form, cop ping the contest by an 8 to 6 count Errors by the desert aggregation coupled with perfect fielding on the part of the Cardinal and Gold, made up the important factor in deciding the issue, while the steady twirling of Hinrichs was another big element in the success of the U. S. C. team.
The work of Farrar at short and Kuhns at the hat were outstanding fea urea, the former handling eleven hances without an error, while the I'rojan center fielder made a home run triple, a double and a single in four trips to the plate. A big pepper tret out in the center garden was the only thing which prevented the double from being a home run, its spreading branches stopping a sure four-base drive. Arizona did about as much slugging as the Southern California

FRATERNITY ARRIVES
INF
Stanley Welsh, Paul Greene and Joe Skleners. tennis wizards from U. S. C., downed the University of Arizona court team on their new courts, Saturday, May 7. by the lopsided score of 4 to 1. Keen competition was met with in the singles, but the doubles event proved to be a "snap’ for the Trojans. Paul Greene, playing second man for U. S. C., found Baker of Arizona too strong for comfort, losing the only match of the four played, by a 4-0, 6-4, 8-6 score.
Stanley Welsh and Skleners both emerged victorious in their matches only after some hotly contested sets. Welsh won over Leppla, 7-5, 4-6. 6-3. Skleners beat Tovea, 8-6, 6-4. Welsh ant Greene found Leppla and Baker “easy money,’’ winning their match to the tune of 6-1, 6-3.
All three men reported having a delightful trip, commenting particularly on the unusual hospitality extended them by the Arizona men. Saturday evening they shared honors with the U. S. C baseball team at a dance given for the visiting teams.

JUNIORS HOPE FORMAL SENIOR PARTY
Whether the Junior-Senior banquet which will be held June 2 at the Vista del Arroyo Hotel, will be a formal or informal affair has not as yet been decided by the members of the class, according to Albert Butterfield, president.
‘‘The Junior-Senior banquet has been an annual event in the past," said Mr Butterfield, “and lias always been a formal affair. I think that It would be entirely out of harmony with tbe precedent established by the former classes of the University to make tills occasion informal, and it Is up to us to uphold the traditions which have already been set.”
Miss Reeta Walker, vice-president of the class, has made arrangements for an excellent program.
Earl Hazelton, president of the Senior class, will respond to a toast by Albert Butterfield, toastmaster for the occasion and president of the class. Dr. Bovard, president of the University, and J. H. Montgomery, registrar, will be among the honor guests of the Junior class.
PRESS CLUB PARTY
Southwest Intercollegiate News Service UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, Tucson, Ariz.—A report on the results of the psychology Intelligence tests given the freshmen of the unlver^jty during last fall was recently presented to the faculty by Dr. F. C. Paschal, of the department of psychology. The test given was the Army Alpha test, used by the psychological division during the war for the classification of officers and enlisted men. The series of tests show that the men of the freshmen class are on the average more intelligent than the women of that class.

SENIOR CLASS STAGES
IN PREP SCHOOL HALL
Registering a marked Improvement over the Senior Road Show of last year, the class of ’21 presented a vaudeville entertainment In the auditorium of the Los Angeles High School last Saturday night that was not much below the standard of tlie metropolitan variety houses.
Though billed as the Annual Senior Road Show, very few seniors appeared on the program. Another unexpected feature of the evening was the success of two university acts which virtually “walked away” with the show, in spite of the professional numbers on the bill. The Lance and Lute presentation of “Poor Old Jim” and the Voltaire Perkins and Sam Wilson act entitled "Bills and Notes" easily nosed out the professional artists from flrst place honors.
As is the custom in vaudeville theaters, the performance began with an overture. The University orchestra, under the direction of I. G. Ulner, managed to start with the flrst tilt of the baton, and succeeded, for the most part, in keeping fair time. The wind instruments were a bit uncertain, particularly one trombone that was sorely in need of oiling.
The flrst number on the program was "The Boozoon Quurtette.” It was all the name may imply.
Orpheum Act Mediocre
The second number, "Something

"Reports which were taken in flrst period classes lafet Monday in regard to tho inauguration of an honor system at U. S. C. were many and varied." declared Marion Curtiss, member of the publicity committee of the A. S. B. Council. "Although we have not been able by any means to read all the reports or arrange them In any order," she continued, “the students seem to oppose an honor system which will be ffective only during final examinations."
Reactions to Honor System
The attitude of IJ. S. C. students toward au honor system may be gath-red under three heads. The majority of the students declared thut cheating depended ulmost entirely on tho personality of the professor. If a professor bolds the good will of his lasses, some agreed, they will not heat; if lie does not, they will gladly heat.
Many favored an honor system which would not only apply to examinations, but also to the preparation of term papers and notebooks. At the same time, however, they protested that an honor system would not eliminate cheating; that a cheater would heat anytime, anywhere.
Another large group of students suggested that a plan of co-operation between students und professors be put Into effect, and also that a spirit be reated In the University which would frown down on a cheater so thut he would be totally ostracized. The creation of this spirit, however, was a great problem in many minds. They protested thut U. S. C. possessed a osmopolitan spirit and not a typical ollege spirit.
Honor System Not Yet Installed "Many students ln tho University,” said Miss Curtiss, "are under the illusion thut the council hus definitely do-ided upon the honor system. No such ecislon has been made. The council bus merely considered an honor ays m and wishes suggestions from the studeut body."
For this reason discussions were held lu ull morning classes lavt Mou-ay. Questions submitted by the coun 11 which led the discussions were: Have you seen any evidence of conditions during examinations that should not exist?" ‘‘Do you desire an honor ystem?” and "Do you think that an honor system would eliminate cheating?” Minutes of the discussion were pt fn each class and were submitted to the A. S. B. Council.
Open Forum Held by Trojan Open letters regarding the honor ystem will be welcomed by the Trojan. The following commuuicatii n was submitted by Prof. I^roy t. Weatherby:

According to all di'ctates from the chief high moguls of campus day. the U. S. C. contingent of healthy men will arrive at U. S. C. wearing the choice haberdashery of the rag bag, Thursday. Thursday morning will be devoted to the usual prosaic lessons and basement window seanceB, but ln the afternoon joyful hilurlty will reign. In the brief space of a few hours the bare, unloyely lawn In front of the new Administration building is expected to be transformed Into a beautiful green lawn, turf being brought from Exposition Park.
Fashion dictates that snappy overalls will supplant the tailored products of Shart, I In fi ner nnd Smacks. Avaunt the blazing silk stripes of Gene’s high toned shirt haberdushery. Likewise away with the silk sox and patent leather pumps. ,
Don’t Wear Collars The traditions committoe has ordered that any man who appears on the campus wearing a collar and tie Thursday morning will have his neck-weur removed by none too gentle hands.
City park commissioners huve donated enough turf from the sunken gardens at Exposition Park to lay In entirety the new lawn. Grading work Is being done by the engineers under the direction of Prof. Cooke.
Cocoa palms and boxwood hedges have been donated by the Howard and Smith Nursery. Palms will be planted along the sides of the building, while tho hedge will border tho walks.
Thomas Haverty and Howe Bros, are donating all pipes and supplies for the underground sprinkling system. Work has been given free of charge. Frats Have Teams Every eligible being of male persuasion Is expected to aid In laying out the lawn. According to Carlyle Scott, chairman of campus day, each fraternity will have a strip of lawn assigned to it. Rival factions are asked to keep hands off the brick bats.
"Grandmothers' funeralB and sick mothers will not be accepted as excuses for ubsence on Thursduy,” said Gwynn Wilson. “Only those students who help in the work will be excused from classes.”
While the boys wield tho pick and shovel the A. W. S. will serve free punch. For every two strips of grass placed u cup of punch will be given us a reward. Surah Tuft Somers hus donated the orunges und lemons for tho brew. Judge Bowen will be overseer of the duy's work.
Camera's Record Work Photographers will be present to snap the hard working gentlemen and fair bar maids. Rumor has it that a moving picture camera or two might stray out to University avenue.
Laying the lawn Is one of the last big things left about the new building. Graduation, June 20th, will find everything lu readiness, Inside und out, if all r,oes according to schedule, say the authorities.
GYM TO BE SCENE OF WRESTLING CONTEST
After a period of hard training, the wrestling contestants are waiting, primed for the Intramural wrestling championship contest to be held at the Gym on Friday at 3 o'clock. All coeds will be guaranteed a thrill when these physically perfect exponents of the bear hug engage in mortal combat on the mat. As the grapplers do not always confine themselves to tho mat, timid spectators ure requested to obtain hack seats Those students who expressed a desire of seeing the Gym shaken down by the unusual activity within are doomed to disappointment, for officials announce thut the Lui'dlng will be properly reinforced by sandbags from the late war. One student was found crabbing because he had heard the mutch wouM be a three-ring affair and he would be unable to watch everything at once. This, however, is not the case, according to the authorities The match will be worthy of tbe attendance of every student, to encourage the men in their work Coach l.ee announces that the winners of this match will compose the varsity wrestling team which will meet other schools ln the South. Several cups are to be awarded.
