New Set-up
Athletic Code
Changed As
Heads Confer
By TOM KIPP
Seeking a single varsity for
the entire college, workable and
co-operative procedures with oth¬
er colleges with which we com¬
pete, and to providing adequate
competition for 12th year stu¬
dents, the Administrative Staff
met December 4 and revised the
Pasadena Junior College athletic
set-up (See Chronicle last Fri¬
day). The members who engaged
in this meeting are sure they ac¬
complished the above objectives.
SOPH FLEXIBILITY
The main provision in the new
code allows 12th year students
to participate with the freshmen
in athletics. Previous to this rul¬
ing, the sophomores were forced
to play and compete with juniors
and seniors. This was unsatisfac¬
tory both to the majority of the
12th year men and other junior
colleges with which we play.
However, the decision as to
whether these students will
compete with the Frosh or var¬
sity teams rests on the coaches.
If their ability and physical
make-up warrants varsity rec¬
ognition, the coaches will allow
them to play for the varsity.
However, if they will not be
able to make the varsity or
Spartans, the coaches have the
privilege of sending them to
the frosh team.
With the exception of a tight¬
ening of our eligibility rules,
which should be acclaimed with
satisfaction by other junior col¬
leges, there is not the slightest
change in our athletic organiza¬
tion as it concerns the junior col¬
leges of the conference. At the
same time, the plan meets the re¬
quest of our 12th graders of pro¬
viding for that group additional
competition.
LACC
Los Angeles City College has
already been scheduled and re¬
sumes their former place on the
Bulldog’s schedule. Although
Long Beach and Santa Monica
are the only conference teams
still holding out, it is hoped that
with the new set-up these schools
may be scheduled. Long Beach
and Pasadena have a long stand¬
ing rivalry, a game always re¬
sults when these two schools
meet.

Bi-annual Gloria' Showing
To Be Given Here Friday
Finishing many hectic weeks of rehearsing, “Gloria”
casts are now madly mumbling un-learned speeches, finish¬
ing last-minute costume fittings, getting stage-fright for Fri¬
day morning’s assembly at East Campus.
Every year that “Gloria” is given, a minister from Pasa¬
dena has given the invocation address. Ministers for perform¬
ances will be Doctor Albert Day, Rev. Lawrence Wilson and
Rev. Charles Lurden, at the East
Campus, while Father O’Shea
will be at the West Campus.
“Gloria” schedule is two school
performances, Friday the thir¬
teenth at 10 a.m. (East), and
Tuesday the seventeenth at 10
a.m. (West). The three public
performances are Friday the thir¬
teenth at 8 p.m. (East), Sunday
the fifteenth at 3 p. m. (East),
and Tuesday the seventeenth at
7:45 (West). A silver collection
will be taken up at all perform¬
ances, because of the smaller
budget forced by student union
plans.
With a total cast of over 350,
including four glee clubs, the Ny-
seans who portray the Angelic
Host, and the Euterpeans repre¬
senting the Shepherds, "Gloria”
has both dramatic and musical
casts for each showing. This du¬
plicate casting was done because
of the large number of talented
persons trying out for each role.
The dramatic cast is Prophet’s
priest, Rodney Munson; Abod,
Harry Chamberlain; Judah, Rob¬
ert Hendrickson and Jay Har¬
bour; Saradan of Chalded, Cloyd
Howard and Arthur Whenly; Eli¬
zabeth, mother of John the Bap¬
tist, Esther Tetzoldt and Dorthea
Streib.
Soldiers of Herod, Robert
Frame, Keith Dahe, Phillip Alex¬
ander and Joseph Bouzek; .Hea¬
venly Messenger, Jean Rowley,
Francila, Barbara Barnes, Fran¬
ces McLaughin, Doris Kroman
and Judith Ayers.
The musical cast is Madonna,
Barbara J. Graham, Margaret
King, Doris Corbett, Leita Cru-
well; three kings, Norman Box-
ley, Rodney Munson, and Ray¬
mond Valoi; the second set, Stan¬
ley Meacham, John Walser, and
John W. Newton.
Joseph, Rodney Munson and
Norman Boxley; Singing Pro¬
phets, Robert Randall and John
Waler. Other prologue soloists
are Jean Cannon, Phillip Robin¬
son and David Hulme.
Faculty cogs this year are Miss
Carrie M. Sharp, Miss Mable M.
Oakes, Miss Isobel Smith and
Miss Kathryn Barnard. In the
technical line are Miss Laura
Elder, responsible for costumes,
and Fred Latshall, stage props.
Rush Season
PJC Counselors
Gird Selves For
Multitudes
As the pre Christmas lull be¬
comes less obvious, PJC coun¬
selors gird themselves for the
oncoming swarm of students who
will crowd the office hoping for
“good programs.” June gradu¬
ates will be given first attention
and early appointments, while
Orientation students will make
program arrangements during
class time. The new counselor
sheets will be in the office early
next week.
Mr.
С.
C. Stewart’s freshman
orientation classes have taken
the Personality Test and show
growing interest in problem ad¬
justment. It is hoped that the
training offered in those classes
will help students to recognize
that being educated is not only
a succession of books, lectures
and tests but also the adjust¬
ment of oneself to school and so¬
cial problems through the study
and development of personality.
In the orientation class, fresh¬
men who have already chosen a
vocation receive guidance toward
their choice while the undecided
are acquainted with the various
fields. Personality requirements
and individual suitability are giv¬
en consideration in either case.

Astronomers Take
Mountain Trip
On Friday 13th
Brave astronomers of the 51-A
classes are disregarding the jinx
said to roam on Friday the 13th,
and are planning a trip for that
day. Their destination is Mt. Wil¬
son.
The combined 51-A astronomy
classes, under instructors Swan¬
son and Russell, plan to meet at
the school observatory at approx¬
imately 12:30 p. m. on Friday,
December 13. Private cars will
tJke them to the Mt. Wilson ob¬
servatory where they wall ex¬
amine the 100-inch telescope. Re¬
mainder of the afternoon will be
spent in hiking.
The 45 students will visit the
Mt. Wilson museum at 7:30,
when they will listen to an as¬
tronomy lecture, learn something
of the history of the observatory.
The department attempts to
sponsor such a trip each semes¬
ter.
HYA Directors Change
Time Recording
Because of mathematical in¬
volvement and complication,
NYA directors have recently an
nounced the cancellation of the
old style of time recording.
The new ruling states that
“working time should be sched¬
uled on an hourly basis when¬
ever possible. If fractions of
hours cannot be avoided, work¬
ing time should be scheduled in
quarter hours, which should be
recorded as follows: 15 minutes
.25; 30 minutes, .50; 45 min¬
utes, .75; 60 minutes, 1.”
NYA students are asked not
to record or schedule fractions
less than quarter hours (noted
above).
Board Acts
Ruling States
Closed Campus
Order Be Posted
Section 13 of the PJC Consti¬
tution specifies that no student
may leave the Campus when
"closed campus” is in effect and
the fact has been posted in ad¬
vance. On Friday, November 29,
a closed campus was declared
without proper notification to
the student body. As a result
many tickets were given to stu¬
dents leaving the campus by en¬
forcement bodies of the school.
No attempts, however, were
made by the Student Courts to
prosecute offenders, due to the
unconstitutionality of the meas¬
ure.
This caused the Student Body
Board on last Thursday to ap¬
prove unanimously the motion
that all “closed campus” action
be passed by the Board before
any formal declaration is made.
Secretary of Activities will pre¬
sent the dates of the “closed
campuses” to the board and they
will either approve or disapprove
the dates and see that they are
properly publicized.
“Closed campus” will, however,
be automatically in effect during
all convocation periods. This
Board action wall prevent the en¬
forcement bodies from enforc¬
ing “closed campus” when it
really does not exist.
Art Class Studies
Movie Set Design
At First Hand
As guests of the Art Center
School at Los Angeles, PJC’s
stage design class viewed set
models and drawings for the new
motion picture “Arizona.” Lionel
Banks, art director for Columbia
Pictures, rebuilt the city of Tuc¬
son at the studio location spot in
Arizona, using old military maps
of the period for specifications
and handmade adobe bricks to
lend authenticity.
William O. Payne, art instruc¬
tor extraordinary, explained that
this expedition was the first of
a series of visits to places of in¬
terest to embryo scene design¬
ers. The thirty-odd students will
soon inspect Earl Carroll’s Thea¬
ter-Restaurant back stage and
the establishment of Otto K. Ole-
sen Ltd. Mr. Olesen is the special
effects genius who designed
Christmas Tree Lane in Holly¬
wood.

Phil Young Named
Sealbearers Chairman
Featuring a program of varied
entertainment, the Sealbearers
held their monthly meeting last
week. Main official business was
the election of Phil Young as
chairman and the placing of
Phyllis Bauerman in charge of
organization.
Entertainment was furnished
by John Murane and Kay Gibbs.
Mr. Murane sang: Give a Horse a
Man He Can Ride, Because I Got
Plenty of Nothing, Salt Water.
Miss Gibbs gave a reading en¬
titled, “Home Sweet Home.” Re¬
freshments were served at the
end of the meeting. The next
meeting is planned for January.
Boogy
Flu Cases
Increase
Almost a thousand students,
or 13 per cent of the school,
W'ere absent from the two cam¬
puses last Friday because of
the flu epidemic. The absences
during the week run thus:
Monday, 774 absent.
Tuesday, 642 absent.
Wednesday, 675 absent,
Thursday, 709 absent.
Friday, 611 absent.
Pomona College was forced
to close because of the lack of
medical facilities, last Friday.
No Long Hairs
Alpha Gamma
Christmas Party
Saturday Night
The second in a series of an¬
nual Christmas parties given by
Alpha Gamma Sigma will be held
next Saturday night.
The party will be a dinner
dance hdld from 6:30 to 12:00 p.
m. with varied entertainment of¬
fered for those not caring to
dance. The dance is to be given
for members of Alpha Gamma
Sigma only, with an expected at¬
tendance of approximately seven¬
ty-five people.
"This party will be the first of
a large series,” said Robert Til-
den, vice president and head of
the dance committee. “In the fu¬
ture we plan to have skating
parties, beach parties and pic¬
nics.
Alpha Gamma Sigma has been
regarded around the campus as
a “long haired” organization. Mr.
Tilden, however, stressed the fact
that it was a purely social club
out for a good time.
Student-Faculty
Council Plan
Shown Teachers
Speaking before a group of
over 200 faculty members last
Wednesday, Louise McCastline,
Secretary of Activities, presented
a plan whereby students and fac¬
ulty will cooperate more in
school affairs. Clinton O. Bay, ad¬
visor to the council, proposed
that a Faculty-Student Council
be formed which, if and when
put into effect, would include
five students and five faculty
members. They would meet regu¬
larly to discuss mutual problems,
then these problems would be
brought to the attention of the
student government or admin¬
istration staff.
Most teachers highly favor
the plan. Students likewise, are
in favor of a means of express¬
ing their ideas to those who have
the power to bring about results.
Several weeks will pass before
the Faculty-Student Council goes
into effect, for details must be
taken care of and the students
must be thoroughly informed to
make it click.
It was suggested from the
floor that, to insure complete rep¬
resentation, the first council
would last two months; a dif¬
ferent group would be chosen for
the next four months and anoth¬
er for the next six, thus stagger
ing representations to bring
fresh problems to light.
Even Dead Bulldog
Bests Glendale JC'^rs
Last week three Glendale Ju¬
nior College students who par¬
ticipated in the raid on PJC’s
East Campus admitted that, col¬
oring the mirror pools and
piling in benches was only part
of the plan for invasion. An at¬
tempt to spoil PJC morale by
running a dead bulldog up on
the school flagpole fell flat,
when the dog became over ripe,
began to smell too bad for
even Glendale students to carry
along.
Birth of America
W. Allen Handles
Junior Edition
OP Rose Parade
“Birth of America” will be the
theme of the Junior Rose Parade
this year. Floats will probably
total around 50, a noticable in¬
crease over the two previous
years.
Grand Marshal Larry “Baby
Dumpling” Sims will ride at the
head of the procession December
30. Four or five bands will sup¬
ply the music and a queen and
two princesses will be chosen
from Pasadena co-eds under the
age of 12. The age limit for those
riding on the floats is 13 but any
help from older people in deco¬
rating floats will be allowed and
appreciated. Any student desir¬
ous of participating in the plan¬
ning and carrying out of the pa¬
rade may apply at 507 Central
Building any afternoon this week
or during the Christmas vaca¬
tion. There will be no wages for
those who help, but according to
Warren Allen, Attorney General,
the experience gained this year
will probably result in an execu¬
tive position next year.
“Big-Wigs” this year are Dave
Davis, Ernie Blumberg, Bill Sim¬
mons, Ed Davis, Pierre Cossette,
Margaret Cuppet, Ernie Sloman,
Jack Lambert, and Dave Orswell.
Warren Allen, last year’s parade
president, will be manager this
year. Managing, by the way, is
the only one of the jobs that has
a salary attached to it.
The Junior Rose Parade was
conceived and promoted in 1938
by Bob Stapleton who was presi¬
dent of the student body at the
time. His zeal and the help of
other FJJC students made the
parade a real success. In 1939 the
parade boasted 40 floats, 125,000
spectators, and Bobs Watson as
Grand Marshal. This year they
hope to have even more to boast
about.
School Employees
Dance Saturday
Ten ten-pound turkeys will be
given away to the possessors of
lucky tickets at the Pasadena
School Employees Benefit Dance
Saturday, December 14 at Mar¬
shall Junior High Gym. An at¬
tendance of over 200 is expected
because of the low admission
price of 25 cents and the chance
for a free turkey.
Youngsters will dance while
older people may listen to Bud
Malian’s music. Though the danc¬
ing and turkeys will be the main
attractions the affair will also
allow non-certificated school em¬
ployees to gather for a grand
bull session, especially with the
older people.
Tickets may be purchased from
caretakers at either campus, or
at the door.
