Tho No Knight Errant , Chron Fights Infidels
A front page editorial will NOT be the policy of this semester’s Chron! We are not cru- .
saders. Our white horse seems, itself, to be somewhat hybrid. The following is but a declar¬
ation of intentions.
The ASB, as the U. S., overflows with pettifogging, tyranny, undemocratic bureaucracy.
Yet violent revolution is not the solution in a peaceful, ’tho freedom demanding, populace or
student body. Rather, a gradual discard of the bad, strengthening of the good. Such will be the
endeavor of the student newspaper. We refuse to be the “official organ” of the legislating Stu¬
dent Board, the War Council, the ROTC, or any other GROUP. We WILL be glad to publicize
their activities. That will be but their’s to request. But our concern is with the entire stu¬
dent body. We will back all student body events, attempt to reflect the thoughts and opinions
of the majority, not just a few. Should that not seem to be the case, let the reader know that
the Chron is then undergoing a dictatorial censorship and not appearing at the will of its
editors.
We hope to put teeth in the mouth of the ASB. Not- only will we talk, but we will bite.
Should a variety assembly smell and appear to have been remediable, a Board act disadvan¬
tageous, a faculty request unfair, or any of a score of possibilities, we shan’t hesitate to say
so — offering a constructive solution in exchange. Invited to speak their piece in the Chron’s
pages are all students and faculty of PJC. Typewritten criticisms and comments Should be
placed in the EDITOR’S box, room 37C on East Campus, or left with Mss Pinkham, 207A,
West Campus.
Although operating on a budget which is a study in pencil slashings (We get exactly
the same appropriation as the Glendale Vaquero, which serves a SB of only 900 compared to
our 4,000), the Chron will continue to lead JC publications. This is possible through clean¬
ing out our own chicken coop.
Done away with will be expensive staff “parties,” Van de Kamp dinners, padded mileage
bills, “500 three cent stamps,” et al. Instead, late Thursday night press runs, allowing last
minute news to be printed timely, an extensive exchange list with distant school papers, in¬
creased newspictures, and colored ink, will be substituted.
Until Chron editors determine the nature of the “feature page,” three news pages will be
run. The decision to make is tough. Whether to provide a Bob Hope corned escapist page, or a
literary styled sheet of political philosophy, critical reviews, etc., stirs up a delemma. Both
appeal to the readers of varying ages at PJC, and possibly a combination of both will be
adopted.
No longer will the sports page be the first to go to bed. Already this year PJC has
whipped out two Metropolitan champion teams. While other newspapers are lamenting the
decline in sports, we will continue to emphasize them, and PJC will continue to have cham¬
pions.
The style of newstories will closely resemble that of feature. Allowing background report¬
ing, which otherwise would be decried as “editorial comment,” to creep in. However, the
never-perfected mechanics of “Time style” will be eliminated, in order to provide the reader
with an easily comprehended, condensed news analysis.
Hence warning may be served. Toes are going to be stepped on. We shall not tread heavily
on the ignorant, but the insects, who would plan deliberately to devour this democratic insti¬
tution of education, WILL feel the heel.
RESPECTFULLY,
THE EDITOR.

For Next Three Weeks Pledges
Attend Acceptance Dinners
As rushing season gets under way at PJC, men and women by the score are literally
being swept off their feet by the obliging club members who shower them with elaborate
teas, barbecues, luncheons and parties. Janet Frayne is recently-elected Women’s Restric¬
tive Inter-Club Council President.
Rushing took place at various teas Saturday and Sunday, Janu¬
ary 30 and 31, ending first week for hopeful rushees; continuing
until Sunday, February 7, after which bids are due in Deans’ offices.
A “silence” will be observed between midnight Thursday to 3:00
p. m. when bids are issued through the offices of the Deans and As¬
sociates until 5:15 p. m. During this time no rushees or club mem¬
bers can communicate in any way with one another.
For the next three weeks following the issuance of bids
pledges will attend acceptance dinners, “whoopee’ parties, guaran¬
teed as damaging, fun for members. If any pledge or member
drops a club she cannot receive a bid from a second club until
the close of a six week period.. Women’s clubs are limited to
two rush affairs each semester; a gathering consisting of more
than two members and tw o rushees, or vice verse. When the
adviser cannot be present at a club meeting, dance, or other
social affair, the President is responsible for securing adequate
chaperonage with the approval of the adviser.
The following is the program for restrictive club teas, break¬
fasts, etc., not including the rush teas Sunday, January 31. Thurs¬
day, February 4: One, 6:00-8:00; Filogian, 6:00-9:00; Phenix, 6:00-
9:00. Friday, February 5: Tanda, 5:00-8:00. Saturday, February 6:
The, 5:00-8:00. Sunday, February 7: L.Amitie breakfast, 10:00-12:00;
AOI, 10:001:00; Philothian, 6:00-9:00; Pamphile, 6:00-9:00.
Some of the revised rules and regulations for Women’s Re¬
strictive Clubs are as follows: There shall be no rushing or bidding
of eleventh year students. There shall be a three weeks’ rushing
period before bids are issued to new students. There shall be a six
weeks’ period during which a pledge or member shall not receive
