Former President and First Lady Of The Land Given Colorful!
Welcome.__
BY LYLE ABBOTT International News Service Special j Correspondent With snow comfortably distant on the picturesque peaks that encircle I OS Angeles' gardens, Calvin and Grace Goodhue Coolidge made them-selves at home today, for a few days' escape from winter.
A colorful welcome was given to the former president and first lady 0f the land as Los Angeles jammed the streets to witness their arrival from Florida via. New Orleans.
After a busy morning of greetings with slate and civic leaders and friends of the political world, the Massachusette lawyer, now turned author, and Ills wife, settled down to a scarcely less energetic tour of sights.
A handsome hotel suite .literally packed with flowers and gifts of j fruits received tlie Coolidges after their triumphal progress through the I streets.
A schedule of office hours for the Wampus staff has been posted on the bulletin board in the Wampus ofllce, Student Union 218 for all regular staff members who attended the meeting the early part of last week and left their free hours with the editor. Hud Fetterly.
This is a new plan which has been installed and it is expected that all regular members of the staff who expect to keep their positions stay in the Wampus ofllce their allotted office hours so that there will be some one there all of the time to answer questions and to receive material which is brought in for publication.
Tho offlce hours will bo kept this week as far as possible and it will be compulsory that they are kept beginning next week and tliereon until the end of the semester. This work counts as part of the regular work of

The shadow of the death of Am- gjven students who do not comply with this ruling in regard to the Wampus work.
bassador Alexander Moore, whom he declared he revered as a diplomat, fell across the otherwise happy day
One of the first concerns of the visitors was to accommodate their at-1 tire to ono of the warmest February days in the history of Southern California.
Mr. Coolidge interests ill Southern California, he said, were to be greeting friends .seeing the sights, visiting the movie studios, and avoiding public speeches. He barred politics, even in the society of his closest friends.
The visit, he declared, had no other significance except that lie was not prepared just yet to return north after his weeks in Florida and journeying across the Southern states.
The former president’s signature to an appropriation bill made possible the construction of a huge irrigation dam in Arizona. That dam today bears the name of Coolidge. One of the strongest of numerous invitations which showered upon the former executive, was to set a date upon which he could visit tlie old San Carlos Indian reserve of Arizona and formally dedicate the Coolidge
FRESHMAN DEBATE MANAGER RESIGNS
Randall Swanberg Appointed To Fill Vacancy Left By Jones; Plan Several Meets.
Clionian Has Meet Today
Literary Club To Hold Meet In Y.W.C.A. Rooms This Evening.
The Clionian literary society will hold its first of two open meetings this evening at 7:30 in the Y.W.C.A. rooms on the fourth floor of the Student Union. Another meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, February 25. Anyone interested in literary work is invited to attend.
The general theme of the society this semester will be “women.” At this first meeting the time will be devoted to women in literature. Mrs. Pearl Aiken Smith, assistant dean of women, and honorary member of the society .will give a talk pertaining to women in the literary field.
Some well known woman poet will be presented by Doris Hackmuth. Lois King will review a novel by a Popular and worthwhile woman novelist. The contents of a special article on women is the interest of Made-line Sevan’s contribution. A vocal number will be given by a quartet composed of Pauline Foster, Con-stance Daily, Naomi Purcell, and Vel-ma Bolten. Following the program refreshments will be served and an opportunity given for the guests to ; econie acquainted with the members ot the society.
Because varsity debating is occupying so much of his time, Glenn Jones, prominent members of Alan Nichols' Trojan debate squad, last week tendered his resignation as freshman debate manager to Randolph Ititchey, debate manager, for Southern California. Randall Swanberg, also an S. C. debater has been appointed to fill the position for the rest of the year.
Jones, who is one of the outstanding speakers in the school, will be remembered for his fine work in the debate last Friday evening with the University of Hawaii, when he, together with Gregson Bautzer, captain of the debate team, gained a 3 to 0 decision over the visitors. To continue in the capacity of freshman manager would be to take very necessary time away from his varsity' I debate work, and this, Jones feels,
| he can not afford to do.
The newly appointed manager, Randall Swanberg, is a senior and is now enjoying his second year as a member of the debate squad. He is thoroughly conversant with Coach Nichols’ methods of debating, and it is believed he will fill the position well.
Swanberg is working with ten first year men at the present time on the subject, "Resolved, that the chain stores are detrimental to the welfare of the American people." The freshman schedule calls for a series of contests lasting well into April.
