Several students received sus¬ pended fines and warnings or were actually fined for smok¬ ing or petting on the campus, or disregarding the closed cam¬ pus rule. “Why I Shouldn’t Smoke on the Campus” was of interest to some of the offend¬ ers for several days afterwards as a theme on that subject seemed to be wanted by the court.

Heads Of Schools Will Attend Meet Administrators, Faculties Will Convene In Meet At University Accompanied by all administra¬ tion staff members and a number of the faculty, Dr. John W. Har¬ beson will attend the Southern California Junior College Associa¬ tion at the University of Southern California, April 27. To keep in contact with prog¬ ress made in each school, the presi¬ dent, Scott Thompson, principal of Compton J. C., has called this regular meeting to continue the semi-annual “get-togethers.” Dr. F. P. Woellner of U. C. L. A. will deliver the principal address on the subject, “How Far Shall the Junior College Go in Teaching Controver¬ sial Issues in Politics, Economics and Government?” A musical program given by an “a Capella” choir of 300 voices will be one of the features of the conference. The singers represent the best talent from the junior col¬ leges in Compton, Fullerton, Long Beach, Los Angeles and Pasadena. John Smallman, an artist of na¬ tional reputation, will direct the music, while the National Broad¬ casting company will put the en¬ tertainment on the nation-wide coast-to-coast hook-up from 10:30 to 11 a. m. Patrons Hear Dr. Harbeson ’How’s Your Hospitality? House A Guest;’ City Will Entertain 3000 At Convention “How’s your hospitality ? House a guest!” has been adopted as the slogan in asking the opening of the homes represented on this cam¬ pus for the entertainment of the 3000 young people convening in this city during May 3, 4 and 5. Although 5000 delegates are an¬ ticipated to attend the annual con¬ vention of Los Angeles county Christian Endeavor Union, only three-fifths of this number are planning to remain as guests of this community while the rest will commute or are residents of Pasa¬ dena division. Desk In Student Union In order to receive any applica¬ tions for giving delegates lodging Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday and Sunday breakfasts, to register those interested in the convention and to give out infor¬ mation relative to this gathering, a desk has been placed by the south entrance in the Student Union building, where students will be on duty throughout the day until con¬ vention time. A meeting for all who are in¬ terested is being held in 3Q during this Friday’s club period in order to prepare for an intensive period of working during the final coming week. One of the most interesting ses¬ sions of this convention, according to Paul E. Billeter, executive vice- chairman of the general convention committee, is the parade of the 16 divisions of the county union’s En- deavorers, in which at least 3500 young people are expected to march from the First Methodist church to the plaza. Mr. George H. Merideth, deputy superintendent of the Pasadena public schools, is chairman of the committee plan¬ ning this event, which is to be headed by Dr. John A. Sexson, su¬ perintendent of the schools, as grand marshal. Bulldog Band In Parade The Bulldog band is prominently placed in the. plans for the parade, while several other bands will con¬ gregate several hundred instru¬ ments for the program in front of the city hall. C. F. Martin, direc¬ tor of the department of recrea¬ tion, Fire Chief Ernest F. Coop and Melvin Chase are also working on this parade. Because there are so many dele¬ gates attending this convention, the First Congregational, Central Christian and First Methodist churches are being used in addi¬ tion to the Civic auditorium. The final session in the Civic auditorium Sunday night will be broadcast over station KPPC. Featuring an address by Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal, on the building situation at Pasadena junior college, and the election of officers for the coming year, the Patrons’ association will hold its regular meeting at 2:30 this after¬ noon in the cafeteria. This session promises to be of particular interest to parents of students now attending junior col¬ lege and to those who will enter the school in the fall, for Dr. Har- beson’s message will be filled with points of vital importance to those interested in the welfare of these students. A short musical program under the supervision of Harold W. Mohs, who will present a harp trio, and Miss Lula Parmley, who will direct her voice culture students in a group of songs, will precede the lecture which will be concluded with a tea and informal reception. Mrs. Marcus A. Hall and her hos¬ pitality committee are in charge of arrangements and Mrs. J. Walter Lewis, Mrs. A. G. Wilson, Mrs Frank Van Gilluwe and Mrs. Roy F. Reineman will preside at the tea tables. Mrs. Charles J. Jones, retiring president, will conduct a short bus¬ iness meeting of the executive board at 2 p. m., when plans for the installation of officers and a garden tea, to be held in May will be completed. | Department Heads, Deans Relieved Of Duties By Students Tomorrow several junior college students receive some very influ¬ ential and coveted positions, being promoted to such standing over night, so to speak, for on that day the regular administration officers of the college are stepping out of their offices and figuratively turn¬ ing over their work to selected students. In making selections, it , оа:4 ,f!ttln£ and proper that Dave I J j ™ • > student body president, and Eleanor Northrup, past student body president, should share the position of principal, taking over the work of Dr. Harbeson. Reliev- mg- Miss Novak of h.er duties to act in a secretarial way for the new principals will be Ruth' Haga- dorn and Lynn Smith. Get Similiiar Duties Also directly in accordance with j their respective duties of the student affairs Jack Dolvong'e pres- will take Mr. О Maras place as dean of men, while Anona Alexander, who is quite familiar with the problems of the fair sex through her asso¬ ciation as president of the AWS will relieve Miss Robbins of her duties in the capacity of dean of women. All departmental positions have been filled with reliable successors, and almost every secretarial desk m the administration office will be occupied by students. In taking the place of the regular officers, tne students will become familiar- ized with the various duties which a£?. parried out in maintaining the efficiency of the Pasadena junior college. Also a closer association between the officers and the stud¬ ents will be realized. The offic¬ ers of the administration will also get a taste of the students’ duties m conducting the regular assem¬ bly tomorrow morning. They will have complete charge of the pro¬ gram and intend to show just how an assembly can be made inter¬ esting. A few changes in the list of ap¬ pointed officers have been made m addition to the list published in the Chronicle last week. They are: Mr. Stoner, Mathematics depart¬ ment — Jack Keenan. Miss Kennedy, Librarian — Alta Paquette. Mrs. Tennison, Home Econ¬ omics — Kit Cartwright. Mr. Henck, Technology — Joe Phillips. Mr. Howard, Physical Science — Stuart McCullough. Miss Pierson, Biological Sciences — Alice Flynn. Jaysee Places In Tourney This school placed second in the Pasadena Community Playhouse one-act play tournament with their enactment of “Gettysburg” by Per¬ cy Mackaye. Elizabeth E. Keppie directed the story of an old Civil war veteran, portrayed by Norbert Bundschuh and his grandniece, played by Severine Callahan. A piece of stage equipment was awarded as a prize by Charles F. Prickett and Miss ' Harriet B. Sterling. Eminent guests in the audience included Walter Hampden and Victor Jory. Victor Jory praised Bundschuh’s acting, saying that “he did a fine piece of work. The best bit of characterization, in my opinion, in the entire competition.” Modesto junior college edged Pasadena out for first place with their production of the Bishop’s Candlesticks, in this sixth annual competition of five junior colleges. San Diego Army and Navy Acad¬ emy placed third. University Bible Club Head Talks “If some of the men students on this campus could subject them¬ selves to rigorous discipline and training for the ‘glory of the school’ in the fall and the plaudits of the fairer members of this in¬ stitution, how much more should young people labor for the glory of Christ,” was a point brought out by Sam Sutherland, executive field secretary of the University Bible clubs, at the meeting of the local club Tuesday afternoon. Co-operation of this group in backing the coming convention was made by Vera Boye, president. Mr. Sutherland added that all of the University Bible clubs are working with Los Angeles county Christian Endeavor for this convention.
