Big Bear, Cal., Feb. 20—(To the Editor of the Daily Trojan):
A tear-splashed editorial appearing in the Oakland Tribune recites a Berkeley student's wail over the disappearance of conservative "college duds" from the collegiate corrals of California’s campus. Between handkerchief applications to stifle the sniffles of his sniffer, the Berkeley break-down confessed that the blame for all this could be laid to tlie flood of Hollywood trick clothes gushing in from the S. C. * ' campus, where Trojan men dress like movie-mad and are not so | { hard to be had.
[ J By trick clothes is meant coats j with lapels peakier than Pike’s
*	Peak; sizzling suspenders suspended over the coat; pants so wide that the wearer takes ten

Avalon, Catalina Island, Feb.
(INS)—Bands played, boat whistles shrieked and hundreds of citizens stood in the rain today to cheer Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge at the be ginning and end of their first voyage on the Pacific ocean.
Tlie former president and former "first lady” ot the land were on Catalina Island for a two day visit.
On the trip to Catalina, Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. George M. Reynolds of Chicago and Pasadena, old friends, who joined the Coolidges as house guests of Mr. and Mrs. W’illiam Wrig-ley Jr., for today and tomorrow .
CROWD CHEERS
Leaving Wilmington and arriving at Avalon, the Coolidges were cheered by hundreds who stood in the rain to greet them. Six hundred or more persons crowded onto the boat that bore the Coolidges over the waves.
Harbor craft and commerce-laden ships at sea, signaled the "courtesy salute” of three whistle blasts, a; the boat bearing the former president passed. This was a contrast to the president ial salute of "21 guns’ to which Mr. Coolidge was accustomed while in the White House.
The Coolidges were expected to gc to sea again in a glass-bottomed boat to view the world famous marine gardens off Catalina Island. A leisurely lunch was served in the Wrigley home on Mount Ada, overlooking Avalon Bay.
CUBS ARRIVE
Coolidge tomorrow will welcome the Chicago Cubs at the Avalon pier and will witness a practice game. The Coolidges were to return to Los Angeles tomorrow night. They expressed a desire to attend the National Orange Show at San Barnar-dino Saturday.
Coolidge late today received a telegram from President Hoover suggesting that “it would be a pleasant gesture" if Mr. Coolidge could arrange his western itinerary so as to preside at the dedication of Coolidge dam at Gila, Arizona. The Coolidge dam was named for the former president who signed the bill in congress, authorizing its construction. Late today Mr. Coolidge had made no decision as to whether he may attend the dedication.
SCHOOLS SEND PUBLICATIONS TO BE JUDGED
-
More Than Fifty Southern j California Newspapers To Be Judged In Contest.
More than fifty Southern California high schools liave sent copies of their official newspapers to the S. C. department of journalism to compete in the annual high school newspaper contest to be held in conjunction with Trojan Newspaper day, March 1. This was announced yesterday by Elizabeth Hawkins, chairman of the contest committee.
Papers have been received from high schools as far south as San Diego and as far north as Santa Maria.
DIVISIONAL SYSTEM A new system of division between the various schools, inaugurated last year, will be in effect. Smaller and larger high schools are separated into two divisions, Class "A," which includes papers from all high schools with an enrollment of 1000 or over, and Class "B,” which includes those high schools with an enrollment less than 1000.
This divisional system has tended to encourage the high schools in Division “B” to enter their respective publications in the contest. Evidence of this may be seen by tlie increase in the number of smaller schools which have sent in their Issues to be judged. Formerly, high schools with small enrollments have found competition with larger schools too strong, and consequently, were unable to win any of the awards. Discouragement and lack of interest on their part resulted.
TROPHY AWARDS
In addition to the Crombie Allen trophy, a large engraved plaque, which is a perpetual award, the Daily Trojan will present two silver loving cups to the best paper in each of the divisions. The plaque is the donation of Crombie Allen, editor of the Ontario Report, and is awarded on the basis of the grading system.
The judges, who are competent in the journalistic fleld, grade the newspapers on ten points. These are typography, press work, balance, emphasis of proper feature in the story, prominence of the story on the page, original material, local appeal, attractiveness, readability, and newspaper style. Only one issue of a school’s publication is admitted for consideration, and it is judged as a whole, each of the ten points being graded as one-tenth of 100 per cent.
The three trophies will be presented o the representative of the winning publication at a luncheon to be held on Newspaper Day.
Last year the Metropolitan Mirror of Metropolitan high school, Los Angeles, was the winner of the Allen and the Trojan Class “A" trophies, while the Santa Ana Generator won the Trojan Class “B” silver cup.
