Wes Woodford Stars on El Monte Program; Veale and Leonard Give Short Talks.
Two more high schools, Whittier El Monte, were visited by the Deputations Committee Friday afternoon, when that organization visited Whittier and El Monte and gave their presentation of college life before the en thusiastic student bodies of those schools.

A Burlesque Number of the Wampus, to be dedicated to the Extravaganza, will appear on the campus as soon as the staff is chosen and material satisfactorily arranged, according to Barton Hutchins, editor-in-chief. Nineteen people, including twelve former staff members, among them Grady Setzler, former editor-in-chief, reported in the Wampus office Monday noon and will probably form the nucleus of the new staff. Hutchins asks that all students interested in a position see him in the Wampus office.
Those present at the meeting yesterday were: Mynette Ritch, Grady Setzler, Tom Aguilar, Rita Padway, Bo Crosby, Pearl Gilmore, Virginia Roediger, Elizabeth Bruce, Edwin Tal-mage, Dave Fred, John R.

“The Goose Hangs High” is a comedy in three acts and is one of the plays with the younger generation and its alleged irresponsibilities as a theme. Of the plays produced in New York within the last few seasons, none scored as definitely pleasant an impression as Lewis Beach’s “The Goose Hangs High.” In commenting upon the presentation of “The Goose Hangs High,” a number of Eastern critics admitted that as a transcript of life the play was most truly and observantly written.
Last evening, under the direction of Mrs. Sally Teschke, the entire cast of | “The Goose Hangs High” went through a rehearsal of the play. There I were certain defects noticed, but these will no doubt be remedied before the final dress rehearsal. The matter of ‘‘picking up cues" with quickness and ease seemed to be the greatest difficulty encountered. The voices of most of the members of the cast are easily heard and the lines of the play are clearly enunciated.
The entire cast of “The Goose Hangs High,” in order of appearance, is as follows:

Several letters have been received by Hal Stonier from the principals of schools visited expressing their appreciation of this movement.
The Deputation stunt will be pre sented to the Trojan student body for their approval at Friday’s rally.

RUTH DAVIS TO BE HONOR GUEST FOR ALPHA PHI EPSILON
Well Known Actress is Playing Opposite Frederick Warde; Also Active in Club Work.
Ruth Helen Davis, formerly drama chairman of the New York Federation of oWmen’s Clubs, will be guest of honor and principal speaker at an open meeting sponsored by Alpha Phi Epsilon to be held at 7:00 o'clock this evening. Women’s Hall. 666 W. 36th Street.
Miss Davis will be remembered for the important role she played in ‘ Everyman,” which had a successful run at the Potboilers Theatre recently. At prescent she is playing opposite Frederick Warde, well known Shakespearean actor, and is taking an active part in club work in Los Angeles.
In private life Miss Davis is Mrs. Charles H. Archibald of Hollywood and is spending the winter here before returning to New York in the spring. She first became known to Los Angeles in “Everyman” and more recently through the presentation of a play, “Restored to the Fold,” which wras written by Miss Davis and Frederick Ward and staged at the Wilshire Congregational church.
Miss Davis wrote a number of plays before her marriage to Dr. Archibald, New York radio specialist. Among these are “The Supreme Victory,” “Yesterday and Today,” and “Egypt Speaks to Women.”
According to Ray Brennan, president of Alpha Phi Epsilon, national hon
ACCOUNTING CLUB TO HAVE SOUTHERN DINNER AT MEETING
Professor Campbell Making Arrangements for Leading Accountant to Address Meeting.
Entertainment, music, an instructive talk and*a Southern baked ham dinner are to be the features of the third monthly informal accounting majors dinner which is scheduled for 7:30 Thursday night at the Canary Cottage of Hollywood, 6633 Sunset Boulevard. All accounting majors in the College of Commerce, as well as any others interested in accounting, are eligible to attend this dinner meeting.
Music for the event is to consist of banjo duets and solos, with incidental singing, to be given by Barton Witty and Johnny Woods, now' appearing in the Auto Show orchestra. Professor H. Dean Campbell of the College of Commerce faculty is now completing arrangements to secure one of the leading local public accountants to give a talk pertinent to the profession of accounting.
Don Edwin, chairman of the accounting majors, urges all those who plan to attend to sign up on the accounting bulletin board immediately, as reservations must be closed Wednesday night at the latest. Those not having cars may reach the Canary Cottage on the Sunset Boulevard bus, getting off at Cassil Place.
The annual ApcIIi^J program which is to take place the first part of May in Touchstone Theatre promises to be one of the most interesting events of the entire school year.
According to Miss Tacie Mae Hanna of the School of Speech, some very promising material has been submitted to the committee in charge, including stories, plays, poems, songs and musical compositions.
More one-act plays and short stories are needed, and all students interested in such work are urged to get their material in as soon as possible. The members of the committee expect the best plays to come from Dr. Allison Gaw’s class in playwriting, although excellent material has already been submitted by students not taking the course.
March fifth has been set at the deadline for the Apollied material. Students should submit their works to the School of Speech under a pen name. With the manuscript should be included an envelope containing the title of the article, the pen name and the real name of the contributor.
An inovation in this year’s plans includes the launching of plans for the publication of Apolliad’s material. Tentative plans along this line arrange for the collection of the material for a period of two or three years, the best contributions to be published at that time. Students fortunate enough to win a place on the Apolliad program of last year are asked to get in touch with the School of Speech at once because their works will be included in the publication.
The Apolliad contest is assuming a more important place every year, and the annual program is anticipated with genuine interest.
TEN JUNIOR WOMEN TO BE CHOSEN BY SPOOKS AND SPOKES

S.C. TO MEET CANADA U. IN WAR DEBATE
Southern California Contracts To Meet Visitors in Return Engagement Next Year.
British Columbia will provide the international touch to the debating schedule of Southern California when debating teams representing both institutions clash tonight at eight in Bovard Auditorium.
The home of contention for tonight's contest is: “Resolved: That war should be declared by a direct vote of the people except in cases of rebellion or invasion.” This subject has been debated several times already this season and according to the debate forces has proved very interesting to the audiences. For this par-ticular debate the question is to be expanded to include the British Empire as wq^I as the United States.
J. C. Oliver and W. Murphy will represent the visitors from Vancouver and uphold the negative. They have the reputation in their home town of being exceptionally witty and capable speakers. According to Sam Gates, debate manager, it is expected that they will put up a clever struggle making the debate compare with the international contest of last year with Oxford in humor and interest. The team from the University of British Columbia is at present touring the United States, already having met many colleges on the Pacific Coast, among them being Oregon and California. By contract S. C. will meet them next year in a return engagement.
Representing Southern California and upholding the affirmative of the argument will be Bill Henley and Leland Tallman. These two speakers are well known for their ability around the local institution and were the onee to debate on this same question with Occidental two weeks ago.
Additional zest will be added to the contest this evening by the fact that it will be the second decision debate of the season, the ether one being with Ohio Wesleyan which resulted in a one to one vote. In all the other debates there has been no decision but an open forum afterwards.
