The Southern California Juniors Meet Today, 11:40 Official Organ of the Associated Students, University of Southern California Lance and Lute Plays Postponed Vol. VII. Loa Angeles, California, Wednesday, May 24, 1916 No. 122 LANCE AND LUTE PLAYS PROMINENT LYCEUM TO TENNIS BENEFIT JUNE 3 Women’s Glee Club, the Peepers’ Ragtime Quartet, Character Impersonates and Readers From the College of Oratory Will Be There 10 ATHLETIC BOARD OE CONTROL MAKES BASKETBALL MAJOR SPORT AT 0. SAC. Members of Senior Class at Law Will Be Missed by Their Fellow Debaters Proceeds From Entertainment to Increase Fund for Sending Warren and McCormick East to Play in Intercollegiate Doubles Tournament In order that Eugene Warren and E. R. McCormick may represent U. S. C. on eastern courts during the summer, a big benefit performance has been planned for June 3, during commencement week. The Lance and Lute plays, which were to be given tonight, have been postponed to that date, in order to swell the fund. On the same big night the Women’s Glee Club will again be seen in action, as will the Peepers’ Ragtime Quartet, several character impersonators, ma readers from the College of Oratory. Pep Promised in Program The program seems to include about the “peppiest” set of events that have been scheduled this year, and if McCormick and Warren don’t go east, it won’t be the fault of the people who are behind the movement. Considerable money has already been promised. The athletic committee has given a good sum, but more will have to be raised. Tennis enthusiastics all over the state, who believe that the Trojans have a big chance of bringing home a few championships, are also lending considerable aid and support. It is believed that the program coming at the end of the school year, being of such commendable quality, and for such a good cause, will easily raise the desired amount. Any one of the special features is worth the price of admission to the entertainment, and besides, men who have defeated Stanford and California, should be allowed to do it again. Prominent seniors who are members of the Law Lyceum will be missed from that organization next semester. Among these are John S. Shepherd, law librarian, assistant editor of the Star Decisis, and a popular student in the College of Law; Lester M. Gray, president of the Lyceum; Vernon W. Gibbs, and Harold C. Morton, president of the student body. Gregory M. Creutz, president of the senior class, will also be missed. Departing Members Prominent Harold C. Morton was formerly president of the organization for a year, while Gregory M. Creutz served faithfully as secretary for one semes- j ter. Under Lester M. Gray the Lyceum has just completed the most successful season in its history, defeating its rival, Comitia, of Liberal Arts, on the debating platform, giving a special evening of entertainment for the Columbia and Denver debaters through the generosity of Miss Ruth Beckwith, and staging an open-to-all entertainment with some of the most talented performers in the South as headliners. Rapid Growth of Organization The departing seniors have done much to build the Lyceum up to its present standing. From a small list of members the growth of the organization has been so rapid that now close to forty students are members. Miss Ruth Beckwith, who is rapidly gaining fame as a speaker of note, is also a member of the departing senior class. Miss Beckwith, the only lady member of the Lyceum, has delightfully entertained on several occasions with songs, original poems and recitations. Among the other seniors arc Carlos Masa. Arnesto E. Rodriguez, C Fuller, and J. Haynes. Creates Executive Committee With Power to Act on All Athletic Matters Except Those of Permanent Policy—Dual Agreement Discussed Awards Athletic Monograms in Track, Baseball, Basketball and Tennis— Consider Suggestion That U. S. C. Adopt Conference Eligibility Rules At the regular semester’s meeting j of the Athletic Board of Control, on Thursday evening, basketball was made a major sport. The team will be equipped, coached and financed in the same manner as football and track teams; also the management will lie at liberty to negotiate games with Stan- 1 ford and California. The board ere- ! ated an executive committee with the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet Meeting Held at Hermosa to Make Plans for Coming Year C. H. MARVIN ADDRESSES FINAL Y. W. C. A. MEETING PROF. A. W. NYE TALKS ON LOCKS AT PANAMA Head of Electrical Engineering Department Demonstrates Isthmus Lock Control One of the most interesting lectures this year was delivered at Monday morning's assembly by Professor Ar-thus W. Nye, head of the Physics and Klectrical Engineering Department, on the subject, “Control of the Locks of the Panama Canal.” Professor Nye told about the working of all the mechanism of these locks, lie showed by slides, furnished by the General Electric Company, the installation of these locks and of the electrical apparatus used. Students Should Do “A” Work Not for the Mark, Was Advice Given Members Mr. C. H. Marvin addressed the Y. W. C. A. yesterday at the last meeting of the year. “Do. and love in doing.” said Mr. Marvin. “That is the definition of Christianity.” He declared that we, as students, should do “A” work not for the mark, but our time, which is not our own but our Master’s, and should be spent in efficient service to Him. “Christ.” said Mr. Marvin, “did not teach. He lived; and it is through the individual that organization must succeed.” Another treat reserved for this farewell meeting was a vocal solo by Miss Mary Wilkes. That the Y. M. C. A. officers are always on duty for rescue work was evidenced by the recent trip of the new and old cabinet officers to Hermosa Beach, where they saved two Polytechnic High School students from drowning. It happened that some of the fellows in the party arrived at Dr. Thos. Stowell’s cottage ahead of the others, and decided to try a splash in the surf. The tw'o high school lads, who were out quite some distance from the shore, were suddenly caught by a rip tide and called for help. Ned Huse was first to reach the frightened youths, and, thanks to his unusual supply of longitude, was able to touch bottom and at the same time hold the heads of the two Poly students, as I w’ell as his own. until Fred Aden and I others brought a rope and hauled them all in to safer and much more j desirable territory. The purpose of the Hermosa trip was for the "set-up” of the Y. M. C. A. officers. Professors J. G. Hill, J. H. Montgomery and C. H. Marvin assisted in the forming of the plans for the coming year. Those who made the trip were: Roscoe L. Frasher, Bernhard Oertly, Ralph Jayne, Manfred Evans, Leland Holland, Wilbur, Bradley, Fred Aden, Herschel Griffin, Reuel Olson, Wilbur Long, Harold Freeman, Ned Huse, L. Schulze, L. Stevens, C. Scott, C. Ainley, T. Work, E. Ainley, W. La Due C .Thompson, S. Stagg, and R. Bur night. power to act on all athletic matters excepting those of permanent policy. The Executive Committee is to consist of the chairman of the board, the student manager and the graduate manager. This committee will be able to meet often, and thus facilitate the work of the athletic management. The dual agreement which is being negotiated with the University of California was discussed in detail, and the graduate manager authorized to have a conference with the graduate manager of the University of California and endeavor to complete final details. Athletic monograms were warded to the following: Monagrams Awarded Track: Bradley, Clark, Crippen, George, Leo Livernash, Martin, Moseley, Miller, Thomson, Tracy, Watson, Whittemore, Smith, Beebe. Baseball: Bidwell, Counts, Curry, Hillman, Hirsh, Holloway, Marxen, Miller, Schmitz, Thomas, Tracy, Whittemore. Basketball: Locke, Livernash, New-land, Sprotte, Sigler, Harmon, McCormick Henderson. Men’s tennis: Warren, McCormick, Godshall, Stannard. Four stars: Warren, tennis; Bradley, track. Consider Eligibility Rules The graduate manager brought up the suggestion from the University of I California that the University of Southern California adopt the Pacific > Coast Conference eligibility rules. These rules require an athlete to be taking twelve hours of work, eleven of which must be passing at the time of competition, and also in the preceding semester. The Pacific Coast Conference also bars freshmen. Since we have already taken action barring freshmen after September 1, and our eligibility rules call for ten hours exclusive of gymnasium instruction, there does not seem to be any definite objection to our adopting the rules of the Pacific Coast Conference and joining that body if it seems expedient. Local Rule is Similar Our registrar’s office has been enforcing since the first of the semester the probation rule which prevents a | man from entering activities unless lie is passing in two-thirds of his courses and has passed in two thirds the pre-, vious semester. Our Faculty Scholarship Committee and our Athletic Committee have of their own accord during the past year brought our rules to the same standard as that of the Pacific Coast Conference.
