“Eight hundred dollars cash has already been turned in to the treasurer, Frank P. Foote. The remainder, which is in pledges, should be paid as soon as possible at the treasurer’s office, not later than May first.
The most intensive campaign was waged at the College of Liberal Arts, where the subscriptions were greatest. Contributions were received from all the affiliated colleges also.

INSTRUCTOR TO USE OLD ABODE
Famous Lopez Homestead at San Gabriel Will Be Used by Miss Lopez
r TROIANS STAND GOOD CHANCE OF GRABBING FIRST
IT. S. C. will be represented by numerous entries in the final Southern California track meet of the season which will be held tomorrow at Pomona College, Claremont. Dopesters have it that U. S. C. will make an excellent showing.
The meet is of special importance in view of the facts that it will reveal the Olympian game possibilities. A number of stars who have never appeared before at the same meet will compete against each other. As the Pomona track is one of the best on the coast, there is considerable speculation as to the probability of Paddock breaking his record of 9 % in the 100-yard dash.
Among the men who are expected to appear and the events in which they are expected to score are: Sprints, Paddock, IJ. S. C.; George Schiller, U. S. C.; Isenhouer, U. S. C.; W. Young, Redlands; Hawkins, Fullerton High; Allen, Redlands nigh. 440—Schiller, U. S. C.; Colon Kilby, Redlands; Clarke, L. A. High. Half mile—Gwyn Wilson, U. S. C. Mile—Noel George, U. S.

Miss Lopez Widely Known Spanish Teacher. Has Had Overseas Service
Once again will the festive laughter of young people be heard in the famous Lopez homestead at San Gabriel, dating back to the mission days, for Miss Maria Guadalupe l^opez, one of the last members of the old Spanish family, will use the old adobe mansion in her work as instructor of Spanish in the University of Southern California. The Spanish club, La Tertulia, will hold its social affairs in the old hacienda, with programs in Spanish and with Spanish refreshments.
Has Had War Service Miss Lopez, who has been widely known for several years as a successful and inspiring teacher of Spanish, won additional honors during the war, serving in France. On her return to tiiis country she took a position with the Julia Richmond high school in New York City and also occupied the position of instructor in Columbia university of New York. She will resign these highly lucrative positions to return to Los Angeles, and has been appointed a member of the faculty of the Spanish department of the University of Southern California.

BATTLE THIS MONTH
Representatives to Be Chosen for Matches With Pomona and Redlands
Elimination contests will be staged soon to determine who U. S. C.’s representatives will be in the boxing matches with Pomona and Redlands some lime this month. Jimmie Woodward says the exhibition may be at the L. A. A. C., although arrangements have not been definitely made with the proper officials.
"Amateur rulings will govern this contest,” says Woodward. * ‘‘When we were up north, several exceptions were allowed in the rulings. Instead of six or eight-ounce gloves we had to use twelve-ounce ones. Several of our opponents could not make the required weight and therefore the regulation rule was discarded and those who were three pounds overweight were allowed in the contests.
“The elimination contests will be in the U. S. C. gym. if any new men join our ranks they will thus be given an opportunity to get into the limelight immediately.
“Next year we are going to have our boxing classes organized during the first few weeks of school. We expect to have fistic encounters with ail the universities of Southern California, and we will undoubtedly meet Stanford and University of (’alifornia My organizing early in the year, we expect to arouse much interest among t he students.”
