JUBILANT OVER COLUMBIA DEBATE
Importance of the Victory Over Columbia Emphasized by Many Congratulations
The third big annual May festival of the University of Southern California is to be held on the evening of May 17, on the front campus. This is one of the largest events of the college year, and everyone is urged to save the date. A cast of 250 men and women of the University are working hard to make the evening a great success under the direction of Miss Edna Cocks, and Misses Edna Sedweek, Frances Kallstedt, Helen Wallace, and Gertrude Pentland as her assistants.
There will be from eight to ten varieties of dances given that night, ranging from beautiful esthetic dances to the quaint old folk dances. The Troian orchestra and both glee clubs are preparing special music for the occasion.
Small booths will he scattered around the grounds with ice cream, candy and hot coffee for sale. The admission price to the festival will he twenty-five cents.
Congratulations on the unanimous decision over Columbia University last Friday evening are still being received by Judge Hugh Neal W'ells, coach of the law dehaters.
Although last year there was not one experienced debater to call on, the College of Law established the enviable record of winning four out of six contests after meeting the best of the West.
This year Law has surpassed that record. To date the debaters have won four out of six debates, including the defeat of Columbia, which carried i with it the national championship. But 1 one more debate remains before the | completion of this year's schedule. This is the contest with New Mexico, in which Harold C. Morton and Gregory M. Creutz will uphold the well-known reputation of the College of Law.
The three things that Coach Wells demands of each of his debaters are industry, “sand’’ and “fight.” That lie gets them is shown in the teams of the last two years.
