Popularity Decides
Campus Votes Today For
OMD Queen And Court
Men and women of PJC will flock to emergency polls to¬
day to decide an issue that may change the life of five
people for one single day — they are going to cast their vote
for the most popular girl on the campus, and the girl with
her four closest competitors will be named Queen of the
Order of Mast and Dagger carnival next May 15.
The more enthusiastic campus suitors have been burning
up the corridors, student union,
trees, lawns, with notices im- .* X ■ I
ploring other equally frantic Kipp I rial
students to vote for their dream
■■ .
girl who will reign over the
most gigantic and colorful
vaudeville show ever to be pre¬
sented at PJC.
Although details of this pro¬
gram are being withheld by
OMD officials, grapevine ru¬
mors credit Program Commit¬
teeman Larry Wallace with lin¬
ing up a tremendous array of
talent in laughs, music, magic,
and thrills.
The traditional outdoor car¬
nival was cancelled last week
because of a ruling pointing out
the danger of large gatherings
at night, but OMD members
worked out an entertainment
that will offer all conventional
appeal plus “something new.”
In order to vote today just
present your identification card
to one of Stu Fitch’s sturdy co¬
horts, and — if you want to cinch
your place in that certain girl’s
datebook, just tell her you drop¬
ped her name in the box for
Campus Queen.
Where There s
Smoke There s . . .
Tom Kipp, the other half of
the well-known campus sports
duo of Jim Marugg and Tom
Kipp, was indicted by the Ju¬
nior College Grand Jury last
Tuesday on a felony charge of
smoking on campus.
Although Kipp has not made
a statement regarding the
charge it is evident that the en¬
tire squabble will be one inter¬
pretation of a ruling made by
a county attorney last week
which stated that on campus
smoking was okey as long as
school boards had made no con¬
trolling ruling. Kipp’s alleged
offense was against a student
body ruling.
Boy-Girl Week Typifies
American Democracy
A spearhead of PJC manpower will invade Pasadena
business and government circles next Tuesday in connec¬
tion with Boys’ and Girls’ Week, sponsored by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce. School doors will swing open and
hundreds of youthful Johnny Jones and Mary Browns will
go out into actual business practices.
PJC student officers will assume comparable jobs in
government, and business ma-
ASB PRESIDENT RAY DAVIS
Swings Athletic Fund Vote
Flying Bulldog
Tra ining Starts
Contributing to the strength
of the United States Naval Air
Corps, Pasadena Junior College
has proved its loyalty by seek¬
ing to enlist a college squadron
from this campus to begin ac¬
tive flight training duty after
the close of the current school
year. The “Flying Bulldogs” will
go through the first six or sev¬
en months training intact.
Technicality
Nips Practice
Spring football practice was
held up last week, when stu¬
dent misunderstanding of par¬
liamentary procedure created a
turmoil at the Thursday morn¬
ing board meeting. After sev¬
eral conferences, a motion, in¬
troduced Thursday, that money
needed to defray expenses of a
doctor, uniform custodian, and
cleaning bills for Coach Mal¬
lory’s grid players, not be ap¬
propriated, resulted in a tie,
necessitated a vote by Ray
Davis, student body president.
Said vote was given in the af¬
firmative, Ray being under mis¬
taken impression that this
would give football the money.
Realizing the mistake, a board
member introduced a new mo¬
tion, this time in the affirma¬
tive, failing, however, to retract
original motion already passed.
The second motion carried, was
nevertheless, invalid owing to
the technicality.
Yesterday morning, discus¬
sion upon the question was re¬
sumed, centered about Mallory’s
statement that varsity practice
would be cancelled wnether ap¬
propriation was made or not.
Vinnie Heublein urged that
money be given Bullpups, but
no decision was reached.
Appropriations for track were
also questioned, further discus¬
sion being tabled until next
week. A meeting of the finance
committee will take up both
subjects more carefully.
Eccentric: Delta Psi Stage Hilarious Drama Friday
MARION SPROTT
Twice Shakespearean Winner
Delta Psi Omega’s “Mr. Pirn Passes By” will be presented
next Friday, May 1, with Lindsay Workman in the title role. The
story is about an eccentric little man who very nearly alters the
lives of four perfectly innocent people..
In featured roles are Tom Baxter and Marion Sprott. Tom
Baxter came to PJC last year and has since been prominent in
both radio and stage productions. Last semester he was presi¬
dent of Theta Rho Pi, honorary radio club, and is now radio
manager. Tom has a long list of plays to his credit, including, “The
Imaginary Invalid,” “Ducly,” “Where The Cross Is Made” and
several one-act plays.
Marian Sprott is another well known theatrical personality,
having appeared in “What a Life,” “Bachelor Born,” “Liliom” and
two recent Pasadena Playmaker’s productions, “Giants in Earth,”
and “The Importance of Being Earnest.” She has twice won the
Shakespearean contest, here and at Occidental College. Miss Sprott
is also a professional toe dancer.
Other members of the cast are, Eleanor Prosser, Cloyde How¬
ard, Rachel Reid, and Pat Reid. Miss Elizabeth E. Keppie is di¬
recting. Students will be admitted free with activity card No. 18.
Public is charged 35c.
TOM BAXTER
Featured in Production
jors will fill positions in down¬
town firms. Highlight of the
day will be a luncheon at the
Masonic Temple where these
students -will be guests of busi¬
ness men.
Boys’ and Girls’ Week extends
from- April 26 to May 2. Each
day is focused on one activity.
Sunday the emphasis will be
placed upon church. Monday a
radio broadcast over station
KPAS will be sponsored by the
schools. Tuesday is a day of
business. On Thursday the em¬
phasis will be on the home. Fri¬
day will be a day in the schools,
with special programs through¬
out the day. Saturday will be a
day of recreation.
This special feature of
youth is not a new project,
but a national movement, in¬
augurated by the New York
City Rotary Club in 1920. It
was known as Boys’ Week,
but in 1934 it was changed to
include girls. In 1936 the name
was officially changed to
Boys’ and Girls’ Week.
Centering its activities around
young people, this “all-out”
youth participation bears even
greater significance this year,
although the idea was born in
time of peace. Boys and girls
are necessary to any civilization
and their training for future re¬
sponsibilities is of vital import¬
ance.
Plans for the week are und¬
er the direction of Mr. George
Ennis, East Campus counse¬
lor, and all West Campus
counselors, under the guid¬
ance of Mr. Paul E. Billeter.
In conjunction with this day
a project is being carried out
that will assist students in fu¬
ture employment. Special forms
will be given employers on
which they will rate students.
These ratings will indicate to
both students and counselors
the field for which the former
are best fitted. Also students
will have opportunity to rate
their employers by filling out
similar reports.
Geologists Travel
To Hint Canyon
Borax, agate and other min¬
erals of geological interest will
be sought tomorrow when the
Geology 51 A class journeys to
Mint Canyon on the third ex¬
cursion of the year.
Different from other trips
taken by this class, buses in¬
stead of private cars will fur¬
nish transportation. Buses will
leave the parking lot at 8:00 a.
m. and the geologists will re¬
turn home at 5:30.
