Extra tickets for the Greater Uni' versity banquet will go on sale at 11:40 today, with a probability of more being available at the treasurer’s office tomorrow morning. This was the statement given out yesterday by Paul Wilcox, manager of the affair.
Consecutive numbered tickets will be exchanged this afternoon and tomorrow for table reservations.
The number of tickets for sale will depend upon the number of invited guests who send in acceptances tardily. The reason for not putting the remaining. seats on sale until the last hour are obvious.
Tables Arranged
Those who have expressed willingness to sit with guests and have already bought their tickets will have their reservations prearranged for them.
‘‘We may run into a little difficulty if the waiters and ‘powers-that-be’ do not come to an agreement by tomorrow evening,” Wilcox said. “It may be necessary to call for student volunteers. That will give a change for ‘we f&’ to be of social service. I’ll say it will!
“Besides the glee clubs and orchestra, some U. S. C. taleilt in the shape and form of ‘Tony’ Brewster, may be there to keep us awake during the meal.”

In his senior cap and gown, Clark Marshall, who is appearing in the cinema version of “The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come,” the popular book by John Fox, Jr., at the California Theater this week, told a Trojan reporter yesterday something of his work in moving pictures.
“This is my second big picture,” he said. “The first was “The World Aflame,” with Frank Keenan. That picture came out last spring.
Marshall is very enthusiastic over his part in “The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come.” lie takes the part of Harry Dean, the son of a southern family, who, despite the prejudices and influences of his training, fights for the Union in the Civil War.

The song and the yell contest, under the direction of Lou Minskey and Lindley Bothwell, has been extended for another week.

America Challenged by Menace of Russian Radicals, Says Famous Lecturer
WORLD TASK FOR AMERICA
Faith of Americans in Institutions of Country Forms Sound Social Basis
In a stirring address that held his audience of students spellbound for nearly an hour and a half yesterday morning, Raymond Robins, statesman, diplomat and former colonel in the United States army, issued a warning to Americans to avoid the maelstrom of unrest that is now sweeping the civilized world.
“America,” he said, “is more seriously challenged at this hour than it was in August of 1914. Force alone will not answer this challenge; it will take more than force. The challenges comes out of Russia.
Challenges from Russia
“The United States is the only country in the world that is equal to the task of meeting the challenge that comes from Russia.”
To prove that America is the only country capable of combatting the menace, Mr. Robins cited instances of occurrences and political difficulties as they exist in Europe at present.
England is in no position to combat the menace. The country is in such a state of unrest that civil authority cannot be exerted to check mutiny and revolt in the military and laboring classes.
Europe Chaotic
“The new power in* France is socialistic,” he says, “and the government of Italy is a masquerade government, sitting over a volcano that is ready to erupt at any time. Russia is in a state of chaos. Germany and Austria are on the brink.
“The masses of Russia, 93 per cent of them workers, are sick of rulers and suppression.
“They want a change from the old regime. It is not so much that they have confidence in new theories as that they have lost faith in institutions.
“America is strong; strong because the people, Americans, have faith in heir government and their institutions. I voted against Woodrow Wilson and the present executives, but he was elected our chief executive, and I have supported him since that election,” Cheers greeted this stateemnt.
American Faith Strong
“Americans will suffer for their country; they will fight for it and they will die for it if necessary,” he continued.
He spoke highly of the present church system in the United States, and contrasted it with the system in
