Election will take place Thursday, May 8, 1919.
Each college will have a polling place for the convenience of its students.
Nine progressive women of the Junior class have organized an honorary society among the women, similar to the Sphinx and Snakes honorary society for men. The organization is to be composed of Junior women who have rendered useful service to the University and to their class. The name chosen is “Spooks and Spokes.” Election for membership is to be held each year at the beginning of the second semester. Only ten girls may be chosen each year.
This society is heartily endorsed by President Bovard, who felt that it was highly advisable to form such agroup for Junior women, since there has been no organization in the University.
The charter members are Isabelle Helm, Marguerite Giffen, Jeanette Qreen, Zuma Palmer, Mae Conn, May Mortley, Dorothy Schurr, Esther Grua, and Helen Shaffer.

INI ATHENA—ARISTO
“If”
IT HUT
At 11:40 today the Sophomores will have a class meeting In Room 14 to nominate officers for the El Rodeo. This includes Editor-In-Chief, Business Manager and Class Treasurer.
Tonight at 8 oclock, at the Y. M. C. A. Hut, the Athena and Aristo Literary Societies will present one of the best programs of the year. The program has been arranged in honor of the Faculty and the members of both societies have worked hard to make it a success.
Besides several musical numbers, there will be a play called “Suppressed Desires." This will be especially Interesting because lt is a comedy on the same questions that are being discussed in Professor Owen’s Psychology classes.
SPRING FOOTBALL IS UNDER WAY
Although just a few men have responded to the call of the pig skin to date, the result has been far from disappointing, according to Coach Dean
B.	Cromwell. Several husikes are to be seen chasing the elusive pumpkin hither and yon—mostly yon, in a vain endeavor to pick it up.
Among the enthusiasts are some men who look as though they really know the difference between a football and an onion, and it is these men who seem to tickle the Coach so much.
Frank Lockett is one of the boys who sure has something besides beef, if we are any judge of horse flesh at all. Walter MacMillan, one of Manual Arts wizard ends, also listens like a good one-step; while Clemens, right tackle and star, mostly star, we understand, for Mather Field Aviators is “Johnny on the spot” with all the class imaginable. Harold Rlghtmire, one of the 1918 Varsity, sure seems to be hitting on all four, as is Lengthy Cox, last season’s center. Freddy Bushmeyer, one of this season’s Track stars, is coming right along and promises to make somebody hump next fall.
That’s only a beginning, but a little well-placed energy is never lost, so you may see these men learning a few of the working principles every night if you are interested to do so. And, by the way, as long as we are talking Football, It might be well to say right now that if Bome ot the big Btiffs hanging around this institution would take a hitch to themselves they might learn a little Football too. Come on, fellows; you won’t get killed and It will harden you up for your ranch work this summer; try it out and see how you like it.
BOLSHEVIK REVOLT VIOLENTLY SHATTERS THE CAMPUS CALM
The Skull and Dagger Bolsheviki appeared on the campus Friday , morning aa per schedule, and were received with varying degrees of enthusiasm by students and professors.
In some classes the Reds were welcomed and given a hearing. In others they were ejected violently and with hoots.
The five soap-box orators invaded a classroom in the College of Pharmacy and were lined up ready to deliver their propaganda when the male members of the class rose from their seats and chased the disturbers from the building- The disciples of Lenine and Trotzky, determined to get their revenge, went back and placed a smoke bomb in the window of the classroom. In a few minutes excited students were jumping from the windows and tearing through the doors in the pursuit of the Reds. “Red Flag” Hoffman began an orition, but was soon stopped by an accurately thrown clod, which caved in his derby.
The Bolsheviki returned to the Liberal Arts building and, after visiting several classes, gathered on the front lawn and read their constitution.
Rallph J^tynq, Calvin Laudfirbach, and Claude Reeves, as proletariats; “Owl” Gansner, as an Imposing Cossack general, and E. Dow Hoffman, as a Red flag-bearer, were the actors on Skull and Degger’s initiation program.
CENTENARY PROGRAM
Next Thursday night between 7 and 8 o’clock the Centenary Committee of U. S. C. has charge of a Centenary rally. Three big speakers have been secured, who will bring messages thoroughly worth while. There will be special music. Everybody come. Methodists are especially urged to be I present. East Hall, May 8.
S. C. REPRESENTED AT
On April 23 U. S. C. sent Marion Williams, Virginia Doak, Mildred McKim, Charlie DefTebach, Reginald Olds and Leon Godshall to Santa Barbara to participate in the annual Oiai Valley Tournament. Miss Williams worked into the semi-finals, but ahe was defeated thereby a Mrs. Cushing.
The men's doubles team, DefTebach and Godshall, won a match from the Throop College team, but in the next match Davies and Barber, from Stanford, proved too much for tTiem.
Plans for the big Junior-Senior banquet and the financial result of the Junior play will be the two main points of the discussion at today’s Junior class meeting at 11:40 In Room 105.
