U. S. C. CINDER ARTISTS MAKE FIRST APPEARANCE
Freshmen to Meet L. A. High This Afternoon, 3 O’clock, Our Campus
The first real track meet of the year is to be held this afternoon on our campus, the Freshman vs. L. A. High. This meet is not to be classed with the ordinary Freshman meet, for those who take part in this meet will represent us against Stanford University on this campus March 29. “A word to the wise is sufficient,” so if you want to get the real dope on our chances against Stanford, exert yourself to the extent of remaining on the campus until three o’clock this afternoon, when you will be privileged to see some real honest-to-goodness “speed demons” in action.
L. A. High is not to be under-rated in this affair, for the ‘‘Preps” have an exceptionally strong aggregation and the winner of the meet will probably be decided by the final race— the relay.
The Freshman entries will be: 100-yd. dash: Paddock, Hoffman, Ayers; 880-yd. dash: Graham, Cox, Selecman, Keller; 120-yd. hurdles: Farr, Willetts; 440-yd. dash: Schiller, Willetts; 220-yd. dash: Paddock, Hoffman, Whitcomb; 220-yd. hurdles: Stuart, Bushmeyer; mile run: George; pole vault: Chapman, McMillan, Anderson, Leadingham; high jump: Whitcomb, Buschmeyer, Poikinghorn; discus: Toney, Augustin; shot put: Toney, Stuart, Brown, Townsend; board .jump: Schiller, Buschmeyer, Whitcomb, McMillan.
Four of the following men are to be chosen for the one-half mile relay: Paddock, Schiller, Hoffman, Stuart, Buschmeyer, Whitcomb, Graham and McMillan.
tIZARRE PLANS FOR LA TERTULIA MEEKS
!Mas vale tarde que nunca! Yes, we are beginning a little late this year, but we’re going to crowd a year's fun into three meetings! The first is on March 27. Just a jolly, informal affair with one of our snappy programs, games, skits, music and eats. Next—something different —a real Spanish dinner at a real Spanish cafe, and everything that jsoen with it to make it ‘'spanish-y.” The third meeting isn’t a meeting at #11, but a picnic with an out-door Play. Then we pome to the grand Hnale with a public entertainment that every one will enjoy. So you see there’s something doing in La
Tertulia!

"NICHOLAS NICKLEBY” IN CHAPEL TODAY
Every year the administration of the College of Oratory presents to its students a special artists’ course. Today in the chapel at 11:40, Dr. H. S. Clark, the famous interpreter from the University of Chicago, will give a lecture recital on Dickens, the selection to be from “Nicholas Nickleby.” Dr. Clark’s readings are always received with the greatest enthusiasm and no one can afford to miss this splendid opportunity of hearing him.
Usually these programs are for oratory students alone, but because of Dr. Clark’s wide popularity. Miss Yoder will open the hour to University students also. Everyone is invited to be present.
FORMER MEMBER OF U. S. C. RELATES HIS ARMY LIFE IN FRANCE
Base Hospital No. 7.
Beaume Ste. d'Or, France.
To Mr. James Clark and Others in the “Joint”:
"It has been almost a year since I pulled stakes and started for Camp Fremont, and since then I have been down to the Mediterranean Sea, through Marseilles and Southern France, and hope to see Paris before 1 get back.
"For the first two or three weeks in August we all worked on coal details hauling hay and wood, unloading beds and commissary supplies. 1 laid brick for a few days and then in August took up my duties as guard and night watchman. The nurses’ quarters were a part of my beat, and of course I had to see that all went on well in the special kitchen. Needless to say, I was able to obtain many a worth-while hand-out, such as cherry pie, chicken, doughnuts, hot cakes, etc.
"1 seldom had any trouble on my beat except on holidays. November
11,	when the urmistice was signed, 1 could count on one hund the number of sober people in camp. My relief came on two hours late—drunk. There was a fight every ten minutes on the cross-roads near camp. I gave up finally and just tried to keep the revolver and razor fights quiet— didn't pay any attention to the fist fights.
We have had snow here for a week, and are ready to go home any time. 1 hope they'll fix things so we can get out of here and back to God's country.
“Best regards to all the (J. S. C. bums who come in for real chow. Hoping to be around before many moons, 1 remain as ever,
“HOWAUD BUTTERFIELD.”
LAW VOTES TO EOIT SEPARATE ANNUAL
Book to Cost Less Than Four Hundred Dollars
Amid one of the worst Bolsheviki meetings that has ever been held at Law School it was voted last Wednesday by a majority of nine to publish "Stare Decisis” under a separate cover, instead of incorporating with El Rodeo as has been done in the past.
The meeting was over an hour in duration and the fight waged hot most of the time.
The manager of the law publication stated that the El Rodeo manager had first fixed Law’s share of the expense at $600, and later, when Law talked of putting out its own book, brought it down to $475. Law has grave fears that its withdrawal will bring failure to El Rodeo. One barrister modestly expressed the sentiment of the branch college in the following words: “Without Law the University would soon cease to exist.”
y. W. ENTERTAINS AT SPANISH COURT SOON
Fine Program Scheduled to Start off New Social Service Plans
The Y. W. C. A. Social Service committee, with Lois Jenkins as their chairman, are starting their new plans with a big boost, by giving a party at the Spanish court next Monday evening.
There will be a fine program. Miss Higgins and Miss McDowell will be there to assist in the entertainment. Elmer Wahrenbrock will give a cornet solo. Six U. S. C. girls will render jazz orchestra numbeirs. They call themselves the “Homely Bunch.” Clarence Roberts will give a trombone solo and HIlB BiSliri will entertain with Span ish readings.
This is a school affair and everyone who is interested in the work among the Spanish people should be there. The Y. M. C. A. is especially Invited to cooperate with the Y. W. C. A. in this new work.
All interested are cordially invited to come. The party will meet on the front steps of the University Monday evening at 6:30 and from there will go to the court.
‘‘We Boys” are still going—are you coming? Better be there at the “Y” hut Sunday morning at 9:30 and help open the question box. It is a university class for university men. Is that where you belong?
VICTORY NUMBER OF EL RODEO TO BE BEST YET
Juniors Wildly Seek Subscriptions—Great Rivalry Between Two Teams
Wild excitement reigns in the camps of the Juniors. El Rodeo subscriptions are coming in thick and fast; the only trouble the captains have is in trying to refuse the subscription money which over-eager subscribers would prematurely thrust upon them. Furthermore, the old adage about a house divided against itself is about to be thoroughly and finally disproved. For the purple and the gold, each side working its hardest, are both going after subscriptions with the same end in view—a one hundred per cent University subscription list.
Captains of both sides are making life not worth living for the librarians, for they canvass the tables in collateral and in the reference library at all hourB, and hover around the doors, as one victim remarked, like great birds of prey. Freshman and Sophomore class meetings have been ininvaded and even faculty members are not exempt.
The 1920 Victory number of El Rodeo is the best investment a University student can possibly make. It is to be the best year book ever published by U. S. C.—not because the Juniors say so, but because it will be the result of the earnest and united efforts of an enthusiastic staff, ami will include material covering tlie most important period in U. S. C.’s history. Buy a copy.
