:- HEEL $MEDQDEE$UEE Gaepano Salvenini of the University of Florence, Italy, on the subject of HItaly and the Fascist. A long-felt need for a new constitution of the Associated Students prompted the ap- pointment of a committee of investigation, with a view to forming an efhcient document to answer the needs of a growing populace. Actual drafting of the document was pre- ceded by a period of investigation into the constitutions of neighboring colleges. On April 26th, dramatists from the Sophomore class drew away from the usual rut of college productions, and presented uUncle Tom's Cabin with great success. In order to lend atmosphere, the play was presented on the open campus in a tent, lighted by gas lanterns and lamps. Unusual in its appeal, a large crowd attended to witness a type of per- formance seldom attempted in the new West. Not to be outdone, the Skull and Dagger fraternity presented Shakespeare's UTaming of the Shrew in both classical and modern versions, a week elapsing between the old and the new productions. According to custom the annual Shakespearean play was presented on a modernistic stage construcred on the front portico of the main building. Introducing a new Custom, the Freshman class held an official beanie-buming dance at the Sunset Cliff's Thursday club. Following an evening of entertainment a serpentine was formed by the guests and a grand march led to a large fire. Here beanies and green ribbons were officially discarded for the year and cast upon the fire. The following evening the Associated Men Students of the college held their traditional tacky dance. The second annual May Day fete, commemorating Founder's day, was held on May first. An assembly held at the Roosevelt auditorium was followed by a migration to Mis- sion Beach where a picnic was enjoyed. The plunge was opened to members of the student body, and dancing in the huge ballroom completed the entertainment, The first Spring formal prom honoring the Senior classes was held at Hotel El Cortex by members of the Junior organization on June 12. Attendance was limited to members of the two classes. The event ofhcially opened the gala festivities of Senior week. During Commencement week the baccalaureate ceremony and graduation exercises at Balboa park were held. For the first time degree holders wore the official colors indicative of academic position.
