HOWARD DREW STARS IN CHICAGO MEET
Runs a Dead Heat in the Hundred With Kelly of Holy Cross
MAY 24 FIXED AS SENIOR DAY
At a meeting of the senior class yesterday at 12:30 o’clock, Thursday, May 24, was fixed as Senior Chapel day. Annual exercises will take place in the chapel on that date at 9:50, when the i lass history, prophecy and poem will lie read, and the class gift will be presented to the University.
Miss Althea Hendrickson was appointed chairman of the committee on arrangements. Discussion of the class gift occupied much of the time.
Howard P. Drew, the w’orld-famous sprinter and star of the Trojan track team two years ago, staged a wonderful comeback at an indoor athletic carnival in Chicago recently, when he ran a dead heat in the 100-yard dash with Andrew J. Kelly of Holy Cross college.
Drew’s performance is regarded as remarkable by sport critics, as he has been in poor physical condition for some months. Last fall he was flat on his back for five weeks.
Wrhile a member of the U. S. C. team, Drew frequently scored between twenty and thirty points in a single track meet. He was also largely responsible for the Trojan victory in the Pennsylvania relay carnival three years ago.
Drew is one of the few men who have run the hundred in 9 3-5 seconds. On several occasions he made that time while flying the cardinal and gold.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT TO BE HELD BY WOMEN NEXT WEEK
Elimination Tournament for Women’s Championship in Two Weeks
At the Women’s Tennis club meeting, held Thursday noon, it was decided to hold the next doubles tournament the week of April 30th. It will be a mixed doubles affair, the two tennis clubs of the University combining.
This has always been an annual affair, and prizes will be offered the winners.
Captain “Teddy” Schlotte of the tennis team said that the elimination tournament for the women’s championship of the University will probably take place in two weeks. So far only the four members of the girls’ tennis team have signified their intention of entering the tournament.
The city championship will take place soon, according to Miss Schlotte.
Miss Jessie Grieve, state intercollegiate champion, and Miss Schlotte will represent the University, and no doubt will win more honors. Both are among the best college women players in the state.
Nomination for Student Body Officers to Be Held in Chapel at Night to Give Other Colleges an Opportunity to Be Present.
The election of Associated Student officers will be held during the third week of May, according to a statement made yesterday by Manfred Kv-ans, president of the Associated Students. Mr. Evans qualified his statement by saying that the election would be held at such a date provided the proposed student constitution is ratified by the students. The document was submitted to the Executive Committee last night and will probably be presented to the students at large within the next week.
One week preceding the student election nominations for student offices will take place, as provided by the new constitution. It seems probable that these will be held with special exercises in the university chapel at night, in order that students from all colleges of the university may attend.
The offices to be filled will Tie: President, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, editor of the Trojan, manager of athletics, manager of the Trojan, manager of Debating and Oratory, and eleven members of the Executive Committee. Five of the members of this last named committee are to be chosen from the Liberal Arts campus, two from Law School, one from Dental, and one from Medicine. Two alumni members will be elected at large.
In order to eliminate the necessity for a primary election, tbe regular election will be conducted on tlie preferential plan. So far as is known, U. S. C. is the first American university to choose its student officers on the preferential ballot.
In their effort to get the right of handling and holding all student funds, the members of the constitution committee were unsuccessful. Doctor Bovard stated to the committee of students which called upon him Wednesday afternoon that he thought it best that all student funds be kept under the care of the university treasurer. Though the president admitted that the athletic coach is paid out of student funds, he stated that the coach is to be considered as a member of the faculty and responsible only to the president of the institution. In the original draft of the student constitution the coach was designated as an employee of the Association.
In all other respects, Doctor Bovard indorsed the constitution.
