Vol. XXII PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER 5, 1930. No. 11 CLUB READY TO STAGE PLAY VIEWS OF THE NEWS Doug- McMann Restrictive Affair Tonight Restrictive clubs will hold their first joint function of the year. This is the time when petty dislikes and jealousies are aired, and the social “400,” as it were, glide to the strains of col¬ legiate rhythm. A dance in one re¬ spect, it is an important function of the school’s activity program. This inter-restrictive club spirit is an important asset to our program as a junior college. — f— Fit for a King Our upper division Playea'-s’ Guild will show the progress they have made since last year in the art of the drama when they pres¬ ent “The Prince Chap” tomorrow night, at popular prices. This pro¬ duction will be the second major offering on the oral arts program for the school year, and should have a packed house with the ris¬ ing of the curtain on the morrow. An excellent play and an excellent cast, and capable direction will welcome you. Sounds from Sierra Bonita It is the request of the adminis¬ tration that the students of Pasa¬ dena junior college keep up the confidence that the citizens of Pas¬ adena have in our school plant. Re¬ ports contrary to the real spirit of this institution have been made, which do not reflect the real Bull¬ dog spirit, we are sure. We have met other problems successfully this semester and have always come out with flying colors. It is up to you as student body members to adjust this situation without further ado. Lest We Forget the Needy As is tile custom each year, the associated women students sponsor a campaign to raise supplies of food, clothing, and toys for those less fortunate than we are. The campaign, in itself, is excellent of purpose, but if the donations do not result, it fails. Many of us, we’re sure, have much we can don¬ ate to the cause. This Christmas season will show the interest of Pasadena junior college in the needy of the city. The call for aid comes once a year. Shall we re¬ spond ? It’s About Time for a Diet With all the aching feet of many students soothed by. four 51-ass dances and just recently a stu¬ dent body dance in the afternoon, we think it’s about time for the students to realize what they are here for and get to work. Five dances and numerous other func¬ tions should have fatigued the most fastidious of our junior collegians. The curriculum for the next few weeks, at least, should be taken up with some good, honest concentra¬ tion. Athletic Awards Are Given in Assembly Today ‘Y’ GUEST Ш Scholar and Clown Is Called Success Along with an announcement by business managers of Scholar and Clown that the first issue of the new publication paid expenses, is the possibility that the next edi¬ tion will run a mystery section, according to information gathered at a meeting of the editorial board on Monday afternoon. Because the football number was a financial success, the editors be¬ lieve that future magazines should also carry strong central ideas in theme, motif, and make-up. The opinion was expressed, mystery life could be moderately character- zed or caricatured in a student publication. Scholar and Clown will appear again sometime in February, ac¬ cording to immediate staff plans. Courtenay Monsen MR. MONSEN IS YMCA SPEAKER Board of Education Secretary Describes His Father’s Explorations Courtenay Monsen, secretary of the Pasadena Board of Education, will speak and show slides on “For¬ ty Years of Exploration and Ad¬ venture” at the “Y” meeting in 200-C on December 10.

DEBATERS WILL MEET RIVERSIDE - - - ♦ - Upper Division Teams to Debate Forty Hour Week Question in P, J. C. Hall This Evening Engaging in the first of two home debates, Pasadena’s upper division team will meet Riverside representatives in the first league clash of the season, tonight, in room 200-C, at 8:00 p. m. The question is “Resolved: That American Industry Should Adopt the 40-Hour Week,” and the Pasa¬ dena contingent will defend the affirmative. The Oregon Clubmen Hear L. D. Debaters Pasadena Kiwanians were en¬ tertained yesterday noon at their luncheon meeting by Harry Fite and Joe Phelps, lower division de¬ baters, who argued on the topic, “Resolved: That the United States government should adopt a Dole System.” Joe Phelps upheld the negative while Harry Fite stood for the affirmative. It was a non¬ decision debate. Frank Ross and Lubert Sander- hoff, Pasadena lower division team, engaged in a non-decision debate, last Monday, at South Pasadena high school, on the subject, “Re¬ solved: That India should be given a dominion status.” Fortuna Otis, also of Pasadena, acted as time¬ keeper. plan, will be used. According to Coach Glenn L. Lembke, the Pasadena team will be composed of either Bernard Melek- ian or George Borthwick for speaker, while for cross-examiner the choice is between Ben Cohen and Donald Mitchell. The final se¬ lection will not be known until tonight. Dr. C. W. Marsh, head of the public speaking department at U. C. L. A., will accompany his decis¬ ion with comments concerning the two teams. Riverside was runner-up in the Southern California finals two years ago, and this is expected to furnish stiff competition for the Pasadena speakers. “All students, particularly those engaged in oral arts should attend this debate, especially as there are only two home debates this year,” urges Coach Lem-bke.
