Huge Circus Tent Will Contain Various Wonders—Trained Pig, Wild Man, Clowns, Etc.—New and Novel Acts Many and Varied to Be Staged
Twenty five Performers Are On
Program For Orchestra Concert
Class of ’17 Promises High-Grade Side Shows—Admission to Be Only Ten Cents—Many Patrons From Outside the University Expected to
The greatest junior circus ever, will be staged Wednesday, April 19, on the Athletic Field.
Nothing has been overlooked that will make this event a success. The large circus tent prepared for the occasion will contain wonders of all descriptions. The trained pig which has been secured is unique among the trained pigs of the world. The clowns who have the animal in charge are equal in their fuinniness to the famous “Slivers." The wild man is a specimen of a race of wild men never before introduced into any part of Southern California. Anthropomorphic societies are vieing with each other in their attempt to secure this specimen for study. The Juniors promise good music, but refuse to divulge the exact nature of it.
There will he numerous clowns and acrobats, a strong man who will hold five men in the ai~ at one time, and one of the finest trained ponies in the south.
The price of admission will be 10 cents, ridiculously low for a real circus. The side shows will be of a high grade, with such features as the “Incubator Babies,” which created such a stir at San Francisco.

OF CONFLICT IS HEARO
Debate Teams Prepare for Contest at Exposition Park on Freshman-Sophomore Day
I'h• theory that love comes to a Man !jut once is as antiquated as the uj<'a that a bath once a week is sufficient
Meeting in woefully wordy conflict, freshmen and sophomore two-man debating teams will soar to the heights of flowery oratory and plunge to the depths of profound logic in their annual forensic contest on Thursday afternoon, May 4, at Exposition I’ark. The subject of the debate, which is but part of the program now being planned for Fresnman-Sophomore I)ay, is: “Resolved, that journalists should be licensed by the state or federal government.”
Tryouts for places on the teams will be held the latter part of this week, sophomore men, who are thinking of entering the tryouts, should cohfer with R. L. Olson. Freshmen contestants should give their names to Martin Miller.
T PLACE IN CONTEST
George Fenimore and Floyd Farley Take Second and Third Honors, Respectively
Uugene Blalock of the College of Liberal Arts again maintained his distinction upon the platform last Thursday evening in assembly hall by winning first place in the peace oratorical contest. George Fenimore of the College of I.aw carried away second honors, and Floyd Farley was awarded third place.
Dr. E. Edgar Cole, Attorney Jacob Bisel and Professor II. Hanson of Manual Arts were the judges on delivery. The judges on thought and composition were Professors C. H. Marvin. O. C. Minear and H. L. Lunt.
Mr. Blalock will represent the university in the Southern California Intercollegiate Contest, May 5.
After thirteen days of concert work throughout the central part of the State, the Men’s Glee Club returned home last Sunday afternoon.
Sixteen men made the trip, which was both musically and financially successful.
Go By Auto
The entire trip was made by auto, a large six-cylinder motor truck. The sightseeing bus made an ideal means of transportation, for not only did the men enjoy the trip through the country not reached by train but also they appreciated the fact that they could leave for the next place when they chose and did not have to rush or wait for trains.
Leaving two weeks ago, on Mon-* day, March 27, the boys made the trip to Bakersfield the first day and gave a concert in that city in the evening. From Bakersfield the men went to Taft, Delano, Portersville, Exeter, Visalia and Hanford. Sunday was spent in Tulare and Monday night the second week of concerts began. Monday the men sang at Tulare, Tuesday at Fresno, Wednesday at Clovis, Thursday at Strathmore, and Friday at Lindsay. Saturday the return trip was made as far as Bakersfield, where the club remained overnight and Sunday the rest of the trip home was made.
That the club was appreciated everywhere, was shown by the enthusiastic reception given the boys. The club easily succeeded in upholding its reputation as “The greatest club on the coast.”
