A booth in the main hall will be open all day, and “sandwich girls” will sell sacks around over the campus and at the basketball games.
This is an opportunity for everyone in school, faculty and all, to co-operate with the work of the Y. W. C. A. and get something for his money. So bring your nickels and dimes.
PLAY REHEARSALS DISCLOSE SECRETS
Can you imagine some of our budding preachers learning to cuss? Can you imagine Clarke Marshall “learning” to make love, or the secretary of the Junior class having to vamp? These are only a few of the remarkable things discovered by the Trojan reporter at a recent rehearsal of "All of a Sudden Peggy,” the Junior play which will be given at the Gamut Club, May 2.
BLUE BIRDS TELL ENGAGEMENT
At a unique party given by Miss Lillian Scott, the engagement of Miss Maude Colborn, Kappa Delta, and Mr Homer Watson, Zeta Kappa Epsilon, was announced. Little blue birds In cages told the secret. The motif was carried out in pink sweet peas.
Paddock, in negotiating the 100-yard dash in 9 4/5 seconds and the 220-yard dash in 21 4/5 seconds, made the fastest times that have been recorded in these events in California this season. Howard Drew, formerly of U. S. C., set the Southern California records for the dashes in 1914 when he ran the century in 9 3/5 and the 220 in 21 1/5 seconds. Both were world’s records when made. Robinson of Pennsylvania State University has since covered the 220-yard dash in 20 4/5 seconds.
Murray of Whittier at Saturday’s meet set a new Southern California record of 24 seconds in the low hurdles.
MENORAH MEETING
A meeting of the Intercollegiate Me-norali has been called for Thursday Veiling at 8:15. East Hall is the place.
Men URGED TO FINISH ITOURNAMENT
All men who signed up to play the round-robin tennis tournament and wh<> have not already played, are requested to play off their games as soon
aii Possible.
U. S. C.’s track athletes wound up the 1919 season in a burst of glory Saturday, winning first place by a comfortable margin in the annual A. A. U. meet held on the Pomona College field at Claremont.
Charley Paddock, the freshman phe-nom, and Verle Murray, who has been hurdling for Whittier College for the last nine years or so, were the individual stars. The former covered the century in the remarkable time of 9 4/5 seconds, and reeled off the 220 in 21 4/5, while Whittier’s “grand old man” came through with first place in both hurdle events in unusually good time.
Yount of Redlands University collected the largest number of points during Saturday’s festivities. Two first and two second places gave the “pride of Redlands” a grand total of 16 counters.
George Schiller accumulated 10 points as his share in the Trojan triumph. George’s time of 52 seconds in the quarter was sufficiently speedy to land him in first place. After winning his favorite event, he spent the remainder of the afternoon picking up a few odd credits in the 220, the broad jump, and the hop, skip and jump, and running a lap in the mile relay.
Bean and Giffen, the much touted pole vaulters of the L. A. A. C.. were forced to divide the honors of second place between them, yielding first
to Chapman, Cromwell’s freshman star, who squirmed over the bar at a height of 11 feet 8 inches.
Captan Gansner was forced to accept third place in both hurdle races. “Owl” had not completely regained his strength following an attack of blood poisoning, while Murray and Yount were never in better condition in their lives.
Buschmeyer, with second place in the hop, step and jump, and Wilson, with third in the half and quarter-mile events, were the Trojan’s other point winners.
The winning U. S. C. relay team was composed of Hoffman, McMillan, Wilson and Schiller.
George placed fourth in the mile, being led by Scovel, the “Berdoo” marvel, and Dewey and Hunniston, Pomona stars.
Boyle of Manual, Knowlton of Redlands, and Scovel of San Bernardino were the three high school athletes who won first places in the open events.
The teams finished as follows:
U. S. C., 43; Redlands University, 33; Pomona College, 19; L. A. A. C., 16; Harvard, 11; Whittier College, 10; Redlands High School, 8; San Bernardino High School, 7; Manual Arts High School, 5; Lincoln High School, 5; Throop College, 3; Sherman Indian School, 3; Citrus Union High School, 3; Monrovia High School, 2; Pomona High School, 1.
ROBERT M. McALMON EL RODEO MANAGER
AUTHOR OF POEMS	EXPLAINS POLICY
One of the Liberal Arts students, Robert M. McAlmon, has been the recipient of much praise from his friends the past week for having been the author of two poems reprinted in The Literary Digest of the April 5 issue.
Of the five poems printed last week ln their "Current Poetry” department two of them are from the pen (or typewriter) of the U. S. C. man. These two are taken from some five pages of McAlmon’s verse recently published in Poetry Magazine. Commenting on the work. The Literary Digest says of “Aero-Laughter” and ‘Aero-Meter” that they are “some unrlmed lines on aviation written not about the new race of birdmen and their wings by a mere outside observer, but apparently by a man who himself is an aviator.” Of the latter they say it is a "record of the emotions felt by the aviator and exprest in poetic terms.”
McAlmon was stationed at Rockwell aviation field for about six months, but resumed hi? studies here ln January.

By J. C. Lauderbach
The El Rodeo policy in regard to affiliated colleges seems to be misunderstood. In Liberal Arts the students pay for the space of their organisations, and in addition, pay two dollars for the book. The policy in regard to Law School is different. Law pays one-sixth of the entire cost of the book, Inasmuch as its pages compose one-sixth of the book. To raise this sum, an assessment of three dollars is being levied upon law students, which includes the price of one book. Onlv by the payment of this sum will Law pages appear in El Rodeo.
No more books will be printed than have been subscribed for. Therefore, the only way that Law students may receive El Rodeo Is by paying the three dollar assessment.
Dr. E. Franklin Jones from the University of South Dakota has been appointed Dean of the School of Education.
Cabaret Entertainment to Follow Debate and Athletic Events in Afternoon
Wednesday will see the biggest jazz event that has been staged so far during the school year. All the Freshmen and Sophomores admit Jt, and in confirmation each one is decorated with a red tag to prove that his patriotism and love of joy is not a mere state of mind.
In the morning they will go to classes if something much more important does not demand their presence, and then at 11:40 the fun will begin. Frances Morse and Harry Van Cleve will represent the Sophomores and will take the afllrmativo side in a debate on the R. O. T. C. question which has been dividing IJ.
S.	C. into hair-pulling sides for the past two weeks. Margaret Ray and Francis Selecman will represent the opposition.
After sufficient time has elansed to quiet the audience the meeting will adjourn to a girls’ basket ball game.

OXY BASKETBAILERS HAND S. C. WALLOPING
Five very good basket ball players from Occidental College, their persons evidently surrounded by horseshoes and “rabbits’ foots,” aided by a referee apparently both mentally and morally deficient, handed U. S. C.’s fighting basket ball team the scanty end of a 37-12 score at the Athletic Club gymnasiom Saturday night.
For the first five minutes after the whistle, the Trojans appeared to have the jump on their opponents. However, the Oxy squad soon got together and throughout the remainder of the struggle held a virtual monopoly on the basket shooting end of the game, much to the delight of the folks from out Eagle Rock way.
In spite of the fact that Mack Sennet’s well known “dimpled darlings” were making their last appearance at a nearby theater, a goodly number of U. S. C. rooters made their way up to the club gym, and lent their support to Captain MacCormack and his men.
TELFORD WORK VISITS 8. C.
Telford Work, ’17, was a campus visitor yesterday. Mr. Work is very successfully editing and publishing the Parlier Progress, a San Joaquin Valley weekly. He said S. C. certainly looked good to him, and was glad to see lots of regular old-time spirit around the place.	,
