Carrie J. Bond Assists Women With Program
Women’s Day to Be Greater University Affair for First Time in History.
Luncheon to Be Served to Women in the Cafeteria Following Chapel Exercises.
Carrie Jacobs Bond, the well-known composer of many favorite songs, has been secured to contribute to the program of “Women’s day,” Wednesday, March 21.
Mrs. Bond will interpret several of her songs in chapel at 11:40. Among the best known of these are, “1 Love You Truly,” “Just a Weary-in’ for You,” and "Perfect Day.”
All the women of the university will march into the chapel, dressed in white. Seniors will also march in wearing caps and gowns. The men of the university are invited to chapel on that day.
Women’s day this year will be a greater University affair. Representatives from all the colleges will be present for the first time in the history of this annual event. More than fifty letters have been written to individual women and women’s organizations in the University and many are expected to respond.
After chapel a luncheon will be served to the women in the cafeteria. Several prominent college women will respond to toasts.
Fleet Feet Feature of Wilson Feat
Plenty of nearly widows will insure a full attendance at the women’s track meet, which be a feature of Women’s Day, March 21. The girls are much excited over the coming event and training faithfully “whenever the opportunity affords itself.” The bleachers will be filled with the feminine gender, males being excluded by universal consent.
The events of the afternoon’s program are 25, 60 and 100 yard dashes; baseball and basketball throw, 60-yard low hurdles, high jump, and running broad jump.
This year, it is expected, there will lie enough girls in the meet to make it an interclass affair. Last year the freshmen and juniors met the sophomores and seniors.
Ice cream will be given away free to all women attending.

Tom, Dick and Harry, together with three clever models from the crisp, racy pages of “Vogue,” have completed the last of their four rehearsals, and are eagerly awaiting thc third curtain at the Senior Road Show tonight. Tom is a “boundah” and Dick is a “blowah” and Harry is a “silly awss,” but they have pledged themselves to make somebody laugh.
The girls—well, there’s nothing wanting—beauties — with costumes chic, radiating from a black-and-white futurist setting.	|
The “Acrobatic Actions” troupe have put the final touches on their turn. The Newsboys’ Quartette is in fine voice and by special request have decided to give their great .song success, “Roll Dem Bones.”
Helenita Lieberg, Barbara Guerney, Faye Hughes, and Maragaret Olds, well-known thespians, will present "Overtones,” with an artistic finish which only long experience on the local stage can give.
U.S.C. Banquet
E.	Manfred Evans Reports Boosting Spirit From all Nine Colleges of S. C.
What promises to be the greatest rally and student meeting of tbe entire term will be held in the chapel at the College of Liberal Arts at 11:40 o’clock Friday, when the sweaters won by the varsity football men will be given out; the debate and oratorical cups will be presented to the winners; a rally will be held for the California U. S. C. track and tennis contest, which will be held on Saturday; and the twelve junior men who distin- j guished themselves last semester will j be publicly initiated by the Sphinx and Snakes honorary society.
The Sphinx and Snakes pledges who are to be initiated on this occasion include Leo Freund, Emile Hartford, George Homrighausen, Victor Koenig, Carroll Jones, Lloyd Nix, Ralph Jayne, Telford Work, J. Paul Elliott, Wendall La Due, Harold Brewster, and Kuel Olson.
After the public initiation, the new members will undergo the secret initiation at the Kappa Psi Gamma fraternity lodge.
Much interest is attached to the giving out of the football sweaters. As this rally is an all-university affair it is expected that the entire student body will welcome the opportunity to pay their tribute to the men who represented lT. S. C. on the gridiron last fall.
Further interest attaches itself to the affair by reason of the fact that the assembly will furnish the student body iu general an occasion to show the track team that the university is behind them.
"We have got tbe California bear going down the line,” said Student Body President Manfred Evans yesterday. "March 16 is Trojan Good Friday!”
Bears To Meet Trojan Track Team Saturday
California meets Southern California on the cinders this coming Saturday on Bovard field. The Trojan warrior comes forth to conquer the Bear. From present indications it will be some hunt. Unfortunately, hunting Bears and taking them into camp has been rather a difficult procedure the last few years. This year, however, the Trojan camp presents a formidable army and a chance for big game looks good.
For the first time in several years LI. S. C. is represented by a well-rounded aggregation of cinder path performers. The team has been training hard for the big meets and every man is on edge to do his best.
Freshmen will be eligible for the meets with California and Stanford and their addition should prove a big aid. The coach has planned a shake-up in the field events. In the 100-yard dash Cromwell will enter Ken Johnson and Harry Lamport. The hurdle events will be taken care of by “Owl” Gansner and R. Chesnut. Harry Lamport will not run in either hurdle race, but will be entered in the 220-yard dash instead. Warren Lamport will lie entered in the 220 and 440 and possibly in the relay. Kenneth Johnson will run in the 220.
Kddie Beal, formerly star quarter miler of Stanford and now running for the Trojans, will have a chance at his old rivals. He has been slow in getting into shape and is not yet in true form, but by the end of the week
Greater interest is being taken by the whole University in the all-Uni-versity banquet than in any other student activity at the present time, according to Manfred Evans.
As originally announced the affair will be held at Hamburger’s dining room on the evening of March 23. Fifteen hundred members of the students and faculty from all the colleges are expected to be in attendance.
Committees from all the colleges !-.ave been selected to arrange the affair. A decorative committee has recently been appointed. Grace Witherell and Hazel Wilkenson constitute the joint chairmen. Others members are: Helenita Lieberg, Ruth Durkee, Evelyn Miller, Violet Stuart, Jack Conley, Harry Sowden. Earl Banta, E. G. Barcome and Will Rudd.
According to Grace Witherell, the decorations will be in cardinal and gold, the University colors. Scotch broom will add the yellow note and various red flowers and greenery will be employed in decorating the tables and pillars in the dining room.
There will be a table reserved for associated women students.
Speeches will be made by student body presidents of the various colleges. However, the main feature on the program will be roast turkey.
