Annual Banquet Tendered Seniors At Famous Hostelry
TUITION FEE FOR NEXT YEAR WILL BE RAISED TO $100 PER SEMESTER
Varied Program Accompanies j Rich Menu; Glee Club Gives Selections.
LARGE ATTENDANCE
Beautiful Decorations Evidences Effective Industry and Planning of Committee.
In an arched and wine-clad patio at long, flower laden tables, the juniors entertained the seniors and other guests at the annual formal banquet, Wednesday evening, at the Vista Del Arroyo, in Pasadena.
Staid kewpies, garbed in cap and gown, presided over the assembly.
Varied Program
As the company, a hundred and seventy-five strong, partook of delicate viands, a program was given. It consisted of an invocation by Gross Alexander, selections by the glee club, monologues by "Smoke” Turner, exhibition dancing and speeches by the presidents of the two classes. Albert Butterfield and Earl Hazelton. Dr. Rogers of the Education Department took President Bovard’s place on the program.
After the banquet, the guests were entertained by the hotel in the spacious ballroom.
After an investigation of over two months’ duration, the trustees of the University of Southern California have been obliged to raise the school’s tuition rates to $100 a semester, exclusive of registration fee, according to a statement from Warren B. Bovard, comptroller.
"Because of the increased cost of running expenses, the tremendous increase in enrollment, and the heavy charge for the maintenance of the new Administration building, this step is necessary,” said Mr. Bovard. “our total current expenses alone for this school year will sum up to an amount in excess of $385,-000.00, whereas, our income from tuitions will not exceed $275,-000.00."
CLEANUP WORK STARTED BY COLGATE COMPANY
There have been many campaigns at U. S. C., charitable, beneficial and praiseworthy, but the cleanup campaign instituted by the Colgate Com pany last Friday wins first place for nobility of purpose.
People desirous of taking advantage of Mr. Colegate’s virtuous donations stood in line, cutting classes with gay abandon to receive their little package of soap, powder, tooth paste, cold cream, shaving cream and anything else they might happen to contain.

Plans Underway To install Card System at U.S.C.
In keeping with the greater university program outlined by Dr. Bovard a few years ago, plans are now under way for the adoption of a student body card at U. S. C. next semester. The proposition was brought up at tlie meeting of the executive committee last Tuesday, and will be voted upon at the last meeting of the committee next Tuesday.
According to present plans, the purchase of the cards will be entirely optional. The cards issued will be of two kinds, one selling for one dollar, and the other at five dollars.
The five dollar cards will admit the students to the football games, track events, basketball games and debates. The dollar card will admit the holder to the basketball games and to the debates. Both cards will entitle the holder to the privilege of voting in the student body elections.
Card Offers Bargatp.
In view of the increased tuition, which will be j; .0 for the semester, the card system offers an excellent opportunity for saving money, according to Merle McGinnis, one of the leading advocates of the system. Five minor football games would ordinarily cost more than the price of a single card. The cards will admit the student to more than fifty University events. At this rate, admission to n single event will be less than ten cents. A conservative estimate will show that the purchase of a card will give the student more than thirty dollars worth of admission values for five.
The dollar card has been conceived to accommodate students who work on Saturdays, or who would not otherwise be able to attend the afternoon events. The ordinary prices of admission to the evening affairs will amount to many times one dollar.
Plan Has Backing.
Supporters of the plan are of the opinion the card system will go far toward establishing a strong student body spirit, and that it will give student activities the support that they have longed for. It is calculated that students who have to pay for the privilege of becoming a member of the student body with the rights of voting, will be much more interested in University affairs than the average student body. The low prices asked for the cards are expected to attract many students, and thus make possible a heavy attendance at the numerous events.
Previous to the voting upon the plan by the executive committee, students will be given an opportunity to express their opinions. Merle McGinnis, debasing manager and advisor to the executive committee, will meet for discussion fraternity representatives and others interested in room 14 next Monday at 11:40.

University of Southern California Has Enrollment of 4,600 Students.

New Building Fitting Tribute to Work of President Bovard
When Dr. George Finlay Bovard came to the University of Southern California as president in 1903, it was one of the smallest denominational col leges in the country, boasting 300 stu dents, a few small buildings and total assets of only $300,000. Under his able direction and influence It has risen to the position of being one of the larg est denominational colleges In the country, being about the same size as Boston, Syracuse and Northwestern, which are all Methodist colleges. It has now enrolled 4600 students, and assets over two million dollars.
During those first precarious years, Dr. Bovard labored from eight In the morning until ten at night every clay, covering two positions, in order to save expenses, that of president of the university and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts.
In 1910 the college had grown to an enrollment of 1400 students. At this time Dr. Bovard waB given the honorary degree of LL.D. by the trustees of Syracuse University. In this connection he said:
“I am not inclined to take the honor entirely to myself, as it is clear that this Is also a recognition of the stand ing of the University of Southern Cull fornia and Its growth during the last few years.”
It is to his credit that the university is doing Class A work on less money than any other unlveralty In the United States
That Dr. Bovard is well-known ull over the country is shown by the fact that Who’s Who listed his name in the 1920-21 edition.
Dr. Bovard wus taken sick with a severe cold on the 22d of April. The doctors warned him at that time that it might be serious Six months’ leave of absence was granted him, which he has not as yet taken, although he may rest the entire summer. He is doing his work through u committee at the present time, having office hours at his home, where all university matters are under his advisory direction.
Sincere regret’ has been expressed by faculty and students alike because of his enforced seclusion on account of ill health, and a hope for bis speedy return to active participation In uni versity affairs.
During the eighteen years that the university has been under his dlrec tion, it has prospered beyond even his brightest dreams. That the new build ing should be named “The Oeorge Fin lay Bovard Administration Building and Auditorium,” Is eminently fitting This does not nearly express the ap predation of the stude nts for his years of tireless effort in behald of thetr uni versity

ART EXHIBIT REVEALS DEPARTMENT GROWTH
“Closing a most successful year, the Art Department gave au exhibit lu connection with the architects, last Thursday, Friduy and Saturday,” said Miss Loud. “The exhibit was attended by a large number of people, and was commented upon very favorubly."
The event was ushered In by a Smock Day parade, which members of the Art Department hope will become a tradition Art students, paint-smeared and garbed in sinocka, marched around the halls aud campus.
Growth of Department
The Art Department this year was three times as large as It has ever been before. It Is expected to have as great a growth next year. Plans are being made for a poster ('lass, which will supervise ull the poster work of the university. All students interested In this work and who have studied It in high school may loin the class, which will be a one unit course.
“This Is a course badly needed In our university," said Mr. Weatherhead, of the Art Department. “Practically all the large universities offer courses In poster work. At present any kind of a poster may appear in the hail. According to our plans, when any organization wants a poster they may notify the class and provide materials, and the class will make suit aMe posters. There will probably be h student committee which will attend to matters of this kind."
