University Service Campaign committees have been busy investigating the qualifications of candidates for the foreign field. The committee on lo-dtion, composed of Claude Reeves, jr. Bogardus, Margaret Corson, Dr. tillifand of South Ariierica, Mr. Wood k India and Bromley Oxnam, have keen hard at work on this matter but id far have not determined the field In which the candidate will work.
Gross Alexander says of this matter: ‘If we were going to place a man in some business in Los Angeles, we nuld find that it would be difficult to ihoose both the man and the business sud Liie world is somewhat larger than Los Angeles to discover a place which will be the ultimate outpost of missionary activity on the part of U.S.C.’s representative. We have been in tommunication with John R. Mott, Sherwood Eddy, Robert E. Speer, the Methodist Board of Missions, the Baptist Board of Missions and various individuals who know the world s^itu-[ttion.

S. C.
People of San Bernardino are prepared for the worst, and the worse the better, as anything good will perhaps knock them off their perch—(if they are birds).

VARSITY MONOGRAM NOTICE J he Varsity Monogram Club meet tonight at the Sigma House, 2719 South Ellendale place.
By Phil Farman
Thursday the political campaign for student body officers of the College of Law came into being when nominations were made at a meeting called by President Voltaire Perkins.
The election will be held Thursday, and a campaign and program of elec tioneering, equal to that in the greater University election, is being carried on by the different aspirants for office.
The nominations brought forth an unusually capable list of candidates for the six offices. A spirited fight is being waged and a close result on election day is fissured. In two or the offices, that of business manager of Stare Decisis and vice-president, there is no competition. Clifford Hughes is the man chosen to manage the annual. Mr. Hughes is well known, both at Law and Liberal Arts, as the man that turned out the 1917 El Rodeo, and is at present assistant business manager of Stare Decisis. Miss Cad-wallader, a popular co-ed. is the unanimous choice for vice-president.
In Limelight
Ray Barnett and Ugene Blalock, tlie presidential aspirants, occupy the center of the stage and each seems to possess the qualifications for chief executive.
Wayne Jordan, prominent junior, in his nomination of Barnett, called attention to the latter's executive ability, his successful management of the Law school banquet, the dean’s treat, and the Lex club dance. He is a member of the executive committee and present business manager of Stare Decisis.
Blalock has long participated in school activities and is one of Law school’s most successful debaters. He was winner of one of the Bowen cups this year, and is manager of debating and president of Delta Sigma Rho, honorary debating fraternity.
Both men have enviable service records, and both held overseas commissions, Blalock being a first lieutenant of infantry, and Barnett holding a major’s commission in the Canadian Army Medical Corps, in which he enlisted at the outbreak of the war.
The Editor of Stare Decisis
The editorship of Stare Decisis, one of the most important student body offices, is threatened by Paul Bruns and Hal Hughes. Bruns it a capable and efficient'man, who has done considerable work on school paperw, and his admirers say his election will assure a better publication.. Hughes is the editor of Wampus, and has a wide range of magazine and newspaper ex perience on both the Los Angeles Express and The Times, and as sport editor of El Rodeo and news editor ol The Trojan.
John Docweller is opposing Wayne Richards for secretary and treasurer.
you follow what we mean).
Several of the embryo Horacio Greeleys will wend their ways (no, not mend them), to the Gate City, Thursday afternoon. Included in the first batch will be Paul V. Greene and Arthur Volk, who will nab, grab, seduce and otherwise procure advertising from the San Bernardino merchants; Winifred Varner, who will make the acquaintance of the sparkling ladies of the orange city’s “399,” and incidentally grab afternoon tea, evening dinner, and night banquets, while in the pursuit of the happenings of the staid and effete society; John Cohen, who will spend Friday listening to the wild language of the auto dealers so he can write funny flivver facts and George Don AshbatJgh, who grew up on the Index, so to speak. The latter will ferret out the possible lurking places' of news and help keep the students from getting lost.
Friday evening, more will come. Lew Wiles, star political sporting and common reporter, will hie towards the startling staidness of San Bernardino.
Tom Metcalfe, he who will run the destines of things, as he is destined to do according to the stars, is liable to amble toward the objective at any hour when he can break away (from her).
Professor Goodnow, who will be held responsible for the damage, will be unable to get away before early Saturday morning, and will arrive while the sun is engaged in climbing over the mountains in the east. He will have in tow the rest of the gang, including—Florence Gilbert, who is destined to do everything, from interviewing the fallen in ,the county bas-tile, to becoming an extra in the Gate City Moving Picture company. Her friends claim she is adapted for any line of news work. (She’ll have to be in San Bernardino). Milton Inman, sport editor, de luxe (if there is such a thing), who will attend a Y. M. C. A. track meet, an\Elks bowling tournament, a high school baseball game, and three marble games at once. Florence Nicholson will perhaps keep one eye glued on the marriage license book in the court house and the other on the male member of the poor misguided pair searching for the fellow that sells the same M. L.’s. Dorothy Kise, who, because nobody cares about campuses in San Bernarino, will have to hunt up some other feature stuff. Josephine Clancy, who writes humor ahout undertakers. Will Marshall, the tailor interviewer. Albert Tachet, the solemn star, who makes the funniest stories into the saddest news. Frank Price will pass out cigars to the police force and try to dig up scandal. Dorothy Cole is going to do anything with humor in it—such as cleaning the windows. Gretta Wagener will swoop down on unsuspecting business men and swoon near unsuspecting swains.
Charles W. Paddock will have an entire column of Olympic stuff. U-No Me-Al will have an entire column of Charles W. Paddock.
PeeVeeGee can sillyize to his heart’s content and everybody else’s contempt. incidentally, The Rambling Rook will “cross country” over two or three columns. San Bernardino iB destined to receive what it likes, Pep —and lots of it.
EL RODEO WILL BE

The fortunate winner of the joke contest is Josephine Olds, of the senior class, and E. Bouton, also of the seniors, captured the prize for the best snap-shots.
To these people belong the privilege ui recc-1v<n«r a free El Rodeo.

By Lew Wiles
Today is the day for all good men and true to come to the aid of their party.
Opening at 9 o’clock this morning, the polls were literally besieged with voters struggling to obtain ballots.
Strenuous Campaign Closes
Quite naturally the greatest interest is being displayed in the presidential campaign.
After two weeks of hard work both camps are resting on their oars. Alexander and Wilson are each confident that the voters will put him into the much-coveted place of honor.
The campaign, remarkable for its clean, straight from the shoulder fighting, drew to a close yesterday afternoon.
George and Marshall, the respective campaign managers, have instructed their assistants to get out all the votes possible.
The apathetic attitude seems to be more pronounced in the present campaign than heretofore, because the entire student body feels that there is so little choice between the candidates that the welfare of the school is assured no matter who is elected.
Will Solicit Votes to Last
Supporters of candidates for the lesser officers have sworn to keep hot on the trail of all voters until the polls close this evening.
It is prophesied that the votes cast
for members of the executive committee will be so close that it will take careful counting and tabulating to,decide the winners.
Personal Element Big Factor The personal element has become the biggest factor in the executive committee campaign. Tho battle has been waged by friends, and friends of friends, of the candidates.
No prediction can be made as to who will win the vice-presidency.
Perhaps the closest contest of all will be for secretary. Both women have many warm friends who are 'boosting their favorites for all they are worth.
The contest for editor oi the Trojan will be an interesting one. Next to the names of Alexander and Wilson have the names of Inman and Paddock been on the voters’ tongues.
Both men are peculiarly fit for the office they seek. Both have had considerable experience in newspaper editing. make-up, and writing. Again will the question of friendship and popularity figure in the voting.
All Students Eligible All students who are registered are eligible to vote. This includes special students as well as regulars.
It is only by co-operation that U. S. C. can forge ahead and take a place equal to any college of the United States. Every one should go to the polls and vote conscientiously for the candidate he thinks is best.

7	ell Details of Junior-Senior Banquet Program
Diplomacy, tact, leafling questions, scouting, threats, bribes and tearful pleas on the part of a Trojan reporter dismally failed to elicit a single crumb of information with which to feed the hunger and longing on the part of the university student body regarding the program which is to be one of the features of the much-anticipated and eagerly awaited Junior-Senior banquet to be given on Wednesday, May 12, at 8 p. m. at the Beverly Hills hotel.
Mystery—alluring and provocative— shrouds every detail; advance information Is nil, Juniors and Seniors will learn of the program only as lt is announced at the banquet table by the toastmistress, Marjorie Helm, while underclassmen who are no! eligible must wait for Friday’s Trojan.
Marjorie Helm, president of the Jui.tor class, will give the address of welcome to the Seniors, who are to be the guests of the 1921 class. Ivan Summers, Senior president, will respond to the toast.
Covers for 100 Covers will be laid for 100 people. Ail Juniors who signed up but have not paid their assessments should see Earle Hazelton today.

Until 6 p.m. tills car leaves Hill street station at a quarter of and a quarter past the hour. After that it runs hourly, leaving the station at a quarter of the hour. Students should get off the car at Rodeo Drive and there take the Cold Water Canyon car, which runs directly past the hotel.
