Spring Wampus Promises Thrill
Springtime not only brings to the peaceful campus thoughts of moon shine and baseball, but the Wampus staff, delving into their massive cere bellums, have edited a spring fever number, which promises to give the denizens of University avenue the shock of their lives. If the purity squad does not confiscate the edition it will go on sale Monday morning for the trilling sum of two-bits, in Uncle Sam's mazuma.
Additional interest is attached to the edition, when it was learned that the entire "Wamp” staff has packed bag and baggage, and prepared to make a speedy retreat into the land of the tamales.
Edition Has Kick According to a prominent young gen tlernan, whose name is withheld by the Trojan, the spring fever edition is very shadowy. Yea, even “indigo” in color. To the Innocent all things are pure, but the subscribers are asked to read with an open mind.
Inspired by the caressing springtime zephyrs, the art editors have surpassed all previous efforts. World-beating materpieces have been evolved by the staff Rubens, Corots and Wendts.
Wamp Is Bulky As a farewell edition, the Wampus contains twenty-five zestful pages of paprika-like fiction, for the investment of a cent a page. Never before, ac cording to rumors, has so much “kick” been sold for so little a price.
Josephine Clancey, the promising young Swedish genius, has won the prize by contributing a sequel to "Thanatopsis,” which she, in a spirit of innocent frivolity, calls “Requiem.” Mile. Clancey has been enriched by tht munificent sum of one dollar and fifty cents. According to King Warn pus, her story is worth the entire price "But,” quoth his highness, “there is more—much more.’’
That the 1921 annual convention of the Los Angeles district Epworth Leagui-, scheduled for the 13th, 14th and 15th of this month at the Asbury “■ K. Church, 150 North Workman street, will exceed all previous ones ■n attendance, punch and real usefulness, is the statement of Laurin Wood, student at U. S. C. and president of •he Asbury League. He bases his statement upon reports coming in from the various leagues throughout the district.
Starting with a banquet on Friday evening, May 13th, those at the head °t affairs promise a meal that would D|ake patrons of the Ambassador turn green with jealousy. The program following is no 1620 conception of re ttgion Punch in the form of song and •tory is dHBured.
Some of the best talent in the county n>en with far seeing vision and masttrfui personalities—are coming to make tlie convention a success.

credit to the Seniors in general. The price of admission is unusually low for such a show, and also should reach everyone’s purse. Fifty cents, the general admission price, is to cover all charge. No seats will be reserved so those coming early will have their choice of location.
Many Stars to Appear To say that there is to be a head liner would be to commit a grave error. On the contrary, several acts will vie for honors. Serefin Pla. for mer baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Company, needs no introduc tion. He is to render the “Prologue from Pagliacci,” along with a few other operatic selections.
“Bills and Notes,” a comedy skit will be put on by two embryo lawyers. Voltaire Perkins and Sam Wilson are the performers. Both men are actors of no mean ability, judging from past records. It is to be a “patter” act and promises to bring forth many a hearty laugh in the most conventional individual.
Clark Marshall to Appear “Poor Old Jim,” a playlet written by William De Mille, starring the well-knowm Clark Marshall, is to be staged by Lance and Lute. Miss Mildred Voorhies is the director.
The quartet that appeared at the California Theatre lately will sing several numbers. “Always,” Al Jolson’s new song, will be sung by Howard Bridegroom. Milton Charles, organist at the California, will assist the quartet at the piano.
“Bright Eyes” and “My Mammy.” two of Al Jolson's latest song hits, will be rendered by Eva Russe, a celebrated whistler.
Novelty Quartet Slated A quartet composed of three saxophones and one tuba is one of the novelties to make its appearance tomorrow night. All the players are local

Rogers, of Drew Theological Seminary, will give the Commencement address. Edwin H. Lemare, municipal organist of San Francisco, will dedicate the new pipe organ by giving two recitals.
"The Creation” To Be Rendered ‘The Creation” will be presented by the Choral Union of the University of Southern California, according to Professor Horatino Cogswell, director of the club. Much effort and time has been expended by the members for this occasion.

Merle McGinnis—the Man of the Hour* Consenting to step into the breach made by the elimination of the two candidates who were turned down by the Kxecutlve Committee, McGinnis, well-known debater and "Y” man, has at least temporarily, stopped the conjectures of politicians concerning the presidential possibilities.
If no one else decides to enter the race before this noon it looks as if McGinnis will be the cause of an era of good feeling in the University of Southern California.
Mystery Talk
Rut McGinnis is not the only one who has taken out a petition if rumors may be believed. Some ambitious one took a petition away under his arm and said nothing about it to anyone.
For president,” he said and went on his wray. This mysterious one may upset the McGinnis dope.
Cora Baker is not running for vice-president, as was erroneously stated ln Wednesday’s Trojan. She Is running for secretary of the student body Cassita Smith is also running for this office.
Gladys Crail, Rita W’alker and Blanche Gauther are the present candidates for the vice-presidency.
Manager Out Eddie Leahy stepped out into poll tics Wednesday and filed a petition for student athletic manager. Eddie is well known on the campus ind needs no introductory remarks. It Is rumored that George Schiller will be eligible today and will be out for this office.
New Committee Names
Floyd Tarr and Evelyn Griffin are two names who should have been put in the column last Wednesday as aspirants for executive committee.
The El Rodeo job. one of the most important on the campus, is being sought by Louise Kidson, Sarah Taft Somers and Al. Wesson. Those who read this column more or less religiously probably noticed that it was stated in Wednesday’s edition that Louise Kidson, known as “Kiddie," would not enter the race. The bird who wrote the column was all wrong. She is in as strong as ever.

Working men have no copyright on real labor, according to the librarians. The girls in the University library have just finished an experiment which which proves that their positions involve a great deal of physical labor. The experiment covered a space of ten days, and the results were varied. It was found that In one day at the desk in the main library, she makes 120 trips up to the balcony for magazines, and she goes to West hall , a distance equal to that between Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth streets, 175 times a day for books. Periodicals are brought fom the basement 15 times every day. Tlie librarian lets out, on the average, 660 books for overnight. The trips to West hall alone total a distance of more than 14 miles.
“This should not keep students from using the library, however,” says Miss Brown, “for it’s all in the day’s work for us.”
Students who take collateral books out overnight are now to be held responsible for such books.
New System Installed
Jupiter Pluvius shared honors with the women on the campus yesterday. Despite his influence, the ardor of the girls was undampened. Endeavoring to carry out the general plan of the committee *n charge, girls who left home before eight o’clock, dressed in white, but the majority were more fortunate.

Mac-fadyen and other well known com-nosers.

Herbina Hazel-tine, of the College of Oratory, gave a dramatic reading by Davies, “The Slave With Two Faces.”
Pageant Held Inside Owing to the general humidity without the Mother Goose Pageant was also staged In the chapel. Representa tlves of the various women’s organizations on the campus presented the sue cessive episodes, each having as its theme familiar Mother Goose characters. Thelma Coleman and Dorothy Jackson sang the words of the pageant as the girls pantomimed.
As the Trojan went to press it was not yet determined whether or not the baseball game would be played. Of course the tennis matches were necessarily omitted, because of the water on the courts.

KIPLING ADDRESSES STUDEHTSOFEAREAST
A new system, similar to that used in all large libraries, has been installed at U. S. C.

This slip is put on file in the library, and destroyed when the book Is re turned The students are requested to wait at the desk until the slip is re turned to them, so that they may destroy it themselves, ln this way the student is entirely responsible for the collateral books he uses.
Books Due Early As before, reserve books may be taken out of the library after 3 p. ro., and are due before 9 o'clock the uext morning. There is a fine of 25 cents for each period overtime.
COMMITTEE MEETING
FOR COSMOPOLITANS
The following persons are urged to be present at the Cosmopolitan com roiteee meeting next Tuesday at 12:30, In room 14: Johnson, Robinson, Butterfield, Chan, Rastall, Lydia, Lee, Alexander, McRegan, Peralta aud Axe.
Dr. Dixon's class on Ki^^ng's Asia was surprised with what was considered a rare treat by three in the class, when Sir Frank Popham Young. K. C. I. E., an Anglo-Indian official and a true authority on Kipling, talked to them at the regular class period on Wednesday.
Sir Frank Popham Young knew Rud-yard Kipling well as a young man making bis name first as a reporter, then as a versatile poet and writer of stories for the daily press. They saw India from the same viewpoint, the northeastern border, where the type of native Is virile.
Thirty-five Yeara In India After spending thirty-five years in and around Lahore, Amritsar and other cities of the Punjab familiar to readers of Itudyard Kipling's poems and stories, Sir Frank Popham Young has arrived from Bombay for a few months' visit on the western coast.
in his talk to L>r| Devon's class he told of the Mahatma Gundi, the boy cotting of trade that followed badly needed laws against sedition, of the bomb throwing and assassinations which led up to the Amritsar troubles and the unfortunate order to flre on the mob that was given by General Dyer, who Is a personal friend of the speaker.
May Speak Again
According to Dr. Dixon, the ring of the bell at the end of the period broke Into Sir Frank's talk at the most Interesting *point. “It Is likely, however,” states Dr. Dixon, “that the students will have another opportunity of listening to a man who can speak with authority on one of the live questions of the day: How is India to have self-determination along with order and prosperity such as Britain has given her in the past?”
WALLA WALLA COLLEGE

Southwest Intercollegiate News Service WHITMAN COLLEGE, WALLA WALLA, May 5.—Fourteen years old and a regularly enrolled freshman in college, that la the accomplishment of Gall M. Williams of Whitman ('ollege. believed here to be the youngest college student and university student In the West. He wears luiee panta, likes athletics, baseball, basket ball, tennis and swimming and seems ln every way an all around boy. He Is not a book worm, as might be expected, and indeed has so much pep that the students have nicknamed him “Squeak."
He intends to become a lawyer, likes mathematics, science, and English, and ia alao translating Cicero and Virgil, all at the age of 14, when moat 14-year-olds are just finishing grammar school.
LOSS OF PRINCIPAL CAUSES SHIFT IN JUNIOR PLAY CAST
Sidney Carton, the principal character in the junior play of the same name, will be protrayed by Grant Kuhns of U. S. C. baseball fame. Formerly this character was to be enacted by Charles Paddock, the author of the play, which Is a dramatization of Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities.’ Pad dock's doctor requested that he relin quish his hold on some of his student activities.
Kuhns was originally cast for the part of Lorry, the lawyer. Now that he is to play Sidney Carton, Merle McGinnis will play the part ln his stead.
The parts of Sidney Carton and Charles Darnay in the drama require that the actors who portray them shall appear as nearly alike in weight and stature as possible. Consequently Carlisle Scott was selected to play Charles Darnay opposite Kuhns' Car-tan. McGinnis was previously cast for this part.
Given at Manual Arta "Sidney Carton,” as arranged by Paddock, consists of seven scenes, in three acts. The play will be produced in the Manual Arts auditorium the evening of May 26t.h.
Some years ugo, when dramatiza tions of novels were In vogue, “The Tale of Two Cities” was dramatized under the name of “The Only Way." Tills, howe*,er. Is difficult to produce since the play Is ln five acts and requires several dozen changes of scenery. Paddock has greatly eliminated this staging difficulty in hlB dramatization.
Different Type of Play
In the past the annual junior plays have been of lighter tempo. This is the first tragedy the class has undertaken to produce, according to Annina Doyle, director. However, the rehearsals are extremely heartening, and give every indication for an excellent performance. Only a crowded auditorium will be needed to make the play a howling success.
Manual Arts offers a large stage for an adequate production. Lighting effects, which may be produced, are of the beat.

The running took the form of a "movie” outfit who took supposed pictures of a love drama In the South Sea Islauds, the villains finally escaping across the University lake on a raft. Ill fortune favored the actors at this stage for the raft capsized at the crucial moment, giving the new C. & K. men a cold bath The running was actually photographed by a “Pathe" man for the Pathe Weekly, and will be shown In the-Coast 11ms of that company.

Announcement by Coach Henderson thut spring football practice la to commence next Monday has roused student Interest to a high pitch. In one sense the sport Ib a contagious disease which Is moat virulent in the fall months, but which spreads into spring, and starts ln early summer, when enthusiasm Is especially strong. Last season the startling success of the Trojan strategy and driving attack was, next to Callfornoa’s wonder eleven, the sensation of the Pacific Coast. Student Interest was at fever heat during the fall months, and with the close of the season keen Interest began to show Itself on the campus concerning the future of the machine which ruined half a dozen perfectly good elevens without suffering a single mishap.
All-Year Intercat
Even during the course of baseball, basketball and track, rumblings of Old Man Football'a grip on the student limlv were beard, and now Hi'- earth quake has come with the announcement of the early practice. Who will show up strongest in the practice period, what the likely line-up will be In the first game, who will make the sensational end rtfns and the driving line attacks- all are becoming matters of Interest to the gridiron fan, and that means to the student body at large.
8prlng Work All-Inclusive
According to Henderson, the spring training is to be more In the way or conditioning the men for the hard grind In the fall, and more for the purpoae of signal practice and lining up of material than for the more intensive work which will come after tbe summer vacation. With tlie present drive on atudlea which the approaching end of the semester always brings about, it is uncertain how many of the monogram men will be on deck at firat, in spite of the importance of the work. Moat of the men who earned aweaters during tbe past season will probably be In action before long to atari another year’s work.
Number of Enda
Both ends of the line will in all likelihood be effective strongholds both ln attack and defense Jimmy Smith, who has been two yeara chosen for the all-state eleven, has another year on the gridiron, aud Paul Green will alao be out for the position. Andy Toolen, Bill isenhouer and Cliff Gordon earnc lettera at end last season and are all capable men. Jerry Kgan looks like a
