In

ir universities from time to time there are certain heroic figures who stand out as the standard hearers nf right truth, democracy, of all those things ir, short, which go to mold the deals' of our nation. Such a man honored the University last Monday morning Sherwood Eddy, the greatest of all university speakers, gripped his hearers in the old University Church, not by his command of English, though that was striking; not by the effect of his voice or his gestures, or any other stage device so many speakers submit themselves to ln order to capture attention. but Sherwood Eddy dominated the emotions and the minds of the students by the very radiance of his mes-
ME IN HI (SELECTIONS COME
Smiling candiates, thankful near ex-officers and perplexed voters will throng the halls of U. S. C. today, the day of the great election, for those who will guide the destines of the four classes will be chosen by the people.
Sites for the voting have been chosen and the polls will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Members of the freshmen class will storm the Y. W. C. A. office to cast their votes. Those waiting to be be siged include: Harry Kennedy and Albert Greenstreet, president; Oda Wilson, Mildred Bryant and Gertrude Street, vice-president; Margaret Ed-gin, Olla Brumbaugh and Marjorie McComber, secretary; and Leonard Good, Elzo McClusky and Edward Gordon, treasurer.
Sophomore’s voting place is the Chapel annex at 12:30. Class honors will go to either: President, Leo Calland or Max Chamberlain; vice-presi-dent, Helen Toby or Cassita Smith; secretary, Helen Campbell or Gertrude Engel; treasurer, Berg Lion or D. Liefer.
Juniors will share the Y. W. office with the freshmen. Imagine the tragedy if a frosh cast his valuable vote in the junior ballot box! But, of course, such contingencies have been carefully provided for by the efficiency committee. The students to whom the election is of the most vital importance are: Albert Butterfield, Paul Greeley, Sarah Stoneham and Archie Thornton, president; Mona Bethune, Charlotte Rastall and Heeta Walker, vice-president; Ruth Inman and Agnes King, secretary.
August seniors decide their fate in room 14. Among the following will be the ones who will uphold the dignity and honor of the illustrious class of '21: Stanley Sutton, Earle Hazelton and Newell Stewart, president; Mary Frances White and Esther Virginia Smith, vice-president; Hazel Celevanl and Jennie Frind, secretary; and Carl Hadley and Leslie Kepler, treasurer.
Note—To all those concerned, the Australian ballot system will not be used.
Twenty-five years he has fought for the cause of right, as he sees It. Twenty-five years he has studied the problems that face the world, and twenty-five years he has spent in order that he may answer the questions of grave moment which face this nation and every nation today. And twenty-five years is a long itme. Even then, there is something deeper than his vast knowledge which makes you see with his eyes, and comprehend the cries of civilization that continually resound from the shores of distant nations to our shores, and that deeper something Is the man himself. You feel it from the grip of his hand, you see it from the flash of his eyes, and in your heart you say, "There is one who is fighting for justice—there is a man!”
The great traveler, lecturer and scholar took for his subject the “World Situation,” and he clearly proved that three things are necessary to the peoples of the earth— Bread, Peace, and God.
Mr. Eddy asked, “What Is the meaning of the present world situation?" The ultimate issue of the war was between autocracy and democracy, militarism and freedom, might and right. Now, in the period of reconstruction, the world is struggling blindly on toward the realization of those three ideals for which men fought—Democracy, Liberty, and Righteousness. There Is an intensification of nationalism, of racialism and of class consciousness all over the world. We are in the midst of one of the great crises of all history, in a decade of transition, in one of the great migrations of the human spirit. Great as was the change produced by the French Revolution in France, so great will be the change for Europe and the

TAKES TOUGH GAME FROM CRESCENTS
Defeating the Whittier Crescents 36 to 33 at Whittier last Monday night, Henderson's Trojan quintet annexed its fourth game this season in a close contest. The club team provided strong opposition for the varsity, the score favoring U. S. C. at the end of the first half, 18 to 16, and being a tie, 32 to 32, at the end of the game. The five minute play-off resulted in a Trojan victory, the Crescents scoring only one foul as against two baskets made by the Cardinal Gold.
The work of the latter was hardly up to that displayed in the L. A. A. C. match, but their shooting and defense was consistent and the Whittier outfit displayed speedy flashes of play throughout the game that kept U. S. C. fighting all the time. At guard, Axe played his usual consistent game of messing up the floor with the arms, legs and bodies of his worthy opponents, while Hinrichs at center was the other bright light of the Trojan play, shooting seven baskets in course of the hostilities and smearing many plays.
Boeck and Kuhns, forwards, made five baskets each and Boeck scored two fouls. Charley Graham was Axe’s partner on the defense and did his work with his usual amount of pep. The lineup for U. S. C„ together with the buskets scored: Graham (g); Axe (g); Hinrichs (c), 7; Boeck <f>, 5; Kuhns (f) 5.

Hopes to Lesson All Campus Evils
Just how a newspaper should be run was demonstrated with much eclat and gusto to the doubting Thomases of Long Beach when a group of shining journalistic stars of U. S. C. edited the Dally Telegram of the beach town last Saturday.
Most Ambitious Effort Although th'e l/ong Beach trip was not the first venture into a wild and foreign territory, it represented the most ambitious ecort of the journalism students this term. Previous trips had been made to the Whittier News and the Riverside Press.
Not only was the paper entirely edited by the students, but all advertising was secured through Willard Cooke and his band of assistants. The Telegram was enlarged to twenty-four pages for the occasion.
Early Arrivals in Town Guided by the morning star, the students had all arrived at the wee hour of seven thirty. Even the fair sob sisters had had their breakfast and were ready for the day's woes.
Everything and everybody ln the town had been interviewed by noon from the hot dog solicitors on the pike to the leading bank president, while the society editors led a hilarious life reporting the far-famed Silver Spray scudding joint. Yes, and the Long Beachites are probably still chuckling at P. V. G.’s brilliant satire.
George Don Ashbaugh was city editor, and one of the first to arrive upon the scene of battle. All assignments were given out by him.
Dorothy Cole and Winifred Varner were assistant editors, and served as examples of the U. S. C. peach crop. Frank Price was telegraph editor, handling all outside press ditpatches.
Gladys Crail, Sarah Taft Somers and Dorothy Saunders handled society news. Barbara Miller had the diverting assignment of writing obituaries. L. Kllng Stoddart wrote copiously about sports (the athletic kind). Lew Wiles covered the police courts.
Many Make Trip Among the newshounds were Albert Tachet, Oscar Henry King, Lucy Landau, Gretta Wagener, Louise Kldson, Charles Potter. Marquis Busby, Glenn Ingles, Clara Gilbert and Lowell Jes-sen.
Only one casualty was reported. One fair damsel of the Trojan staff returned home Saturday afternoon after making a decided impression upon a Long Beach swain. Indeed, the gentleman requested the co-ed’s address. Whether he received it or not is a different story.
With a new year swiftly slipping by and the end of the term ln sight, anticipation is already running to plans for delightful summer vacations, it Is never too early to plan.
And coincident with these pleasant anticipations comes an announcement of a summer tour to Europe, to be organized and conducted by one of our own professors, Dr. Lawrence T. Lowrey.
A Temple Tour
Under the business management of the Temple Tours, the group conducted by Dr. Lowrey will sail from New York on June 25 for the Mediterranean. Italy, Switzerland, Alsace, France, Holland, Belgium and England. And the whole trip, which will cover 72 days, will cost only $!>50. Tills figure is less than half that fixed for practically the same trip by another well known tourist company.
Europe this year should hold a greater interest than ever for Americans. Aside from the wealth of historical sites, objects and associations, and the lavish treasure houses of painting and sculpture, there Is the interest in the battlefields on which Americans fought and died in the great World War.
See Battlefields
Visible traces of the struggle are fast disappearing, and soon will be

gone forever. If one is to see the aftermath of the World War, now is the time. And, under the management of an experienced tourist company, this tour offers the most splendid opportunity either to make a study of the continent or for a pleasure trip.
Points On Trip
On the Fourth of July the ship is scheduled to pass the Straits of Gibraltar. On July 13, 14, 15, 16, the group will arrive in Rome. Florence, Pisa and Venice will later be visited, and other cities In Italy. The Alps will be crossed and Its world-famed lakes viewed. Then will come France and the northern countries of the continent.
All necessary transportation over the entire route will he covered by the $050. Tills sum will Include every necessary expense except tips on ocean liners, passport fees and personal items such as laundry or similar extras.
Places in the party may be reserved by seeing Professor Lowrey. A deposit of $60 is necessary to secure a reservation, but the deposit will be returned without question, says Dr, Lowrey, If the depositor decides not to go before May 21.
All particulars concerning Ihe tour may be learned from Dr. Lowrey at the history department office.
EXPERT TO SPEAK IN CHAPEL
“How an agricultural expert can serve millions of people," will be the topic Sam Higginbottom, a Y. M. C. A. worker, will discuss in chapel at 11:40 today. He spoke at the Student Volunteer Convention in the ‘Y’ hut last Saturday, and is scheduled to uddress the Occidental students next week.
Higginbottom was graduated from Princeton. He went to India fifteen years ago as a missionary. While there he became Interested in famines and. in tills work, he studied agriculture. The British government gave him a large plat of iand and several thousand dollars to flght famines.
EXCHANGE PROFESSOR SKULL AND DAGGER WILL SPEAK AT U.S.C. SELECTS NEOPHITES
A treat for those who are Interested ln South American affairs and education is promised by Professor Shultz, of the Spanish department in the visit to U. S.

DEBATERS WARM AIR
Bovard field Is Scene of Activity ns Men ork Out Sore Muscles.
Dean Cromwell, leader of Trojan track destinies for many seasons, arrived iu Loa Angeles last week, and after giving the University the well-known once over, then came out to Bovard field Monday nnd proceeded to hang his cap and coat on the high Jumping standard and lay down tho law. Directing the construction of a new pit for the pole vault und high Jump, and protecting the early birds from over-straining themselves in a way that might later keep them from snagging the worm were his chief duties on the first day of spring.
Second Story Work
Cromwell looks ready for business and his men feel tho same way. ln fact, the methods employed by a number of future and present letter men in breaking into the training quarters ln order to get tho necessary paraphernalia for limbering up their bones on the track would entitle them lo upper division credit In any housebreaking school In the country. A number of times in the past couple of weeks the quarters have been closed for some mysterious reason, but little things like bolted doors made no difference to the devotees on the cinder path, who climbed In the windows, used skeleton keys in tho locks, and battered down the door with anything that was at hand. One Injury was recorded when Tommy Lewis skinned hls knee sliding down the ventilator, but otherwise nothing of great Importance occurred.
Old Timers Back
Now that the doors are permanently open, tho question of who will enter within their portals becomes paramount. Paddock Is good for two flrst places anywhere, Schiller tor one, Evans for one, and Johnny Boyle for another. WllBon, who was captain lust year, should be good for five points In the 880 if ho chooBes to travel that distance, but what he will do if he takes up longer distances Is somewhat uncertain. Isenhauer ln the sprints, Emmons ln the high Jump and pole vault, I*>wis In the hurdles, Delphey und Jimenez In the broad Jump, ABhbaugh ln Ihe hulf-milo, and a flock of others who are coming and will come out are certain to maka trouble for the opposition and gather In many points In the future meets of the season.
The uddltlon of every man In the University who over did anything at all on the track or turf, or ever thought he could do anything If he worked hard enough, Is essential to the winning team that Cromwell wants to put out this year. There is no question thut the coach will do his part fully with the material at hand, and there is every Indication that the quantity and qunllty of material will surpass that of former seasons. The need Is just us great for many second and third place men now as Is the demand for a few high powered Individuals.
Poet Pleases
With Readings
The problem discussed at the meeting of the Debater's Squad, held Mon day afternoon, was the formation of a plan for the election of the president by direct primaries.
The evils of the present system were dwelt upon by the speakers, ('laude Reeves, who Is acting as assistant debating coach, has drawn up the new plan which is being studied.
In order to facilitate the work the squad has been divided Into two sec tions. One group Includes John Robinson, Louis ii. Elia. Joe Ryan and Charles Paddock, while in the other group are Ralph Bell, Paul Greely, Richard Bird and Roy Reames.
Another meeting of the debaters will take place this afternoon ut 3:00 o'clock in room 4 of the Journalism building.

Weaving pathos with humor, und rhyme with prose bo dextertouBly that it was difficult to know whether he was serious or whimsical, Improvising verse or reading poetry, Edgar A. Guest swuyed u large audience in the chapel yesterday at 11:40.
After a short Introduction by Dr. Flewelling, Mr. Guest took his place ou the platform. Previously he hud been seated to one side fingering three small books of poetry he held ln his hands.
Said He Was No Speaker
He began Ills talk by lamenting his In ability as a speaker. “If the good Uird ever had expected me to be a public speaker, he'd have given me knees that didn’t shake so much," he said. Mr. Guest nervously shifted his weight from one foot to the other, dosed hls eyes and fumbled with his bow tie.
“I've wasted a good many hours, but I never wasted any the way you are
this morning," lie exploded. “I wasn't Intended for such work and I don't like It.”
After he had cajoled hls audience into believing he was no speuker, Mr. Guest told In rapid succession many “in-our-town” Jokes.
"In our town.” he said, ‘‘the minister preached on that simple text, ‘Somebody Touched Me.’ Everybody tittered Put when ihe choir arose aud sung ‘You Can Search Me. O Lord,' everybody laughed out loud.
“One Sunday ln our town, the minister chose for his text, ‘lie Ye Therefore Steadfast.' The town paper hud It, 'Be Ye There for Breakfast.' ’’ Recites Poems
By this time the audience was convulsed with laughter. Mr. Guest changed from telling bis hilarious jokes and talked of fools and wise men, incideututiy reciting his poem. “The Tiling That Couldn’t Be done.”
“There wus no special reason for giving that, only 1 find it convenient
