(Continued on Page 4)
What attitude shall a college woman take toward war?
This is the question which Dean Healey will discuss today at 9:50 in East hall, when a mass meeting of U. S. C. w'omen will be held.
Two special musical numbers will be given on the program. A mixed quartette, composed of Edna Sedweek Margaret Dick, William Dallas and Wilbur Long will sing the song of America, “O, Beautiful for Spaciou Skies,” and Esther Hanning will render "In the Hour of Trial."
Tonight is the night of thc Junior Circus.
Judging by the “Sirkus Swat,” that highly colored and enterprising infant of yellow journalism, born yesterday, and by the efforts of Manager George Homrighausen and his assistant, Dorothy Silvius, the circus promises to be the biggest project ever floated at U. S. C. since “Noah was the original circus man.”
According to the “Swat,” there will be over fourteen separate acts presented at the celebration. Among the presentations will be the Triplet Ticklers, the Rip-Snorting Riders, Spanish Dancers, a Museum, Pete the Death-defying Tight-Rope Walker, Indian Ambuscade, Strang Man Stunt and other stunts too numerous to mention.
After only one day of practice, Clifford Henderson promises to give a spectacular performance of a tight rope walking stunt for which he was famous throughout the country two years ago. "CliflF” walks a tight wire blindfolded and with the baskets on his feet crawls through hoops.
Daring coeds will put on a wild western rough-riding stunt. It is reported that Arabian steeds from the Sahara Desert, which have been trained by Marjorie Record and her assistants in the act will figure in the bare-back riding stunt.
Every college of the university, with the exception of the College ot Medicine, will be represented by one or more productions at the circus. The management urges that all students turn out.
Admission will be 15 cents; popcorn and candy will be extra.
A tent will be raised on Bovard field this morning.
