New York’s
Whether or not student body
funds should be used to pay the
hospital expenses of Lois Huff¬
man, 16, injured during the down¬
town pep rally held last Septem¬
ber, was discussed by student and
faculty leaders last week, pend¬
ing a further investigation of
the case.
Miss Huffman suffered a brok¬
en arm and lacerations when the
auto in which she was riding col¬
lided with another car in the par¬
ade. Because the parade was an
extracurricular school activity,
Dr. John Harbesor., school princi¬
pal, and Catherine Robbins, dean
of women, have said that they
feel the bill should oe settled out
of student funds.
During the ASP- beard meeting
held January 27, two motions
were made that the expenses be
paid out of general funds, but
these were later withdrawn. An¬
other motion was made that the
school pay the bill only if Miss
Huffman agrees to waive any fur¬
ther claims. (Meaning that possi¬
ble sickness due to the injuries
may occur at a latex'- date.) This
motion was also dropped. Earl
Holder, financial adviser, then
called for an investigation of the
matter before any further action
be taken.
At a joint meeting of the old
and incoming ASB boards held
last Thursday, 13 civil service
commission recommendations for
appointive offices were brought
to the board for approval, while
12 appointive offices remained un¬
filled.
All civil service commission
recommendations were not passed
by the board. Laura Babayan’s
appointment as clerk of the cab¬
inet was tabled for a week, and
the appointment of the Chronicle
editor is still stalemated. The
board will decide on other offices
tomorrow.
Receives Salary
Bill Schubert was appointed
publicity chairman by a unani¬
mous vote of b'.th boards. He
will receive a salary of $250 to
send material concerning school
activities to the 14 local news¬
papers of the San Gabriel Valley,
and will work at the head of a
committee. He is indirectly re¬
sponsible to the ASB board, and
directly responsible to the stu¬
dent adviser.
Other Appointments
Included among the appoint¬
ments were: secretary of activi¬
ties, Dorothy Herse; clerk of the
board, Jeanne Thorns; commis¬
sioner of departmental activity,
Mary Hirsh; secretary of health,
Ann Hazlett; secretary of hospi¬
tality, Beverly Anderson; secre¬
tary of language, Jane Arthur;
clerk of the court, Lucille Mar-
karian; civil service commission¬
er, Mary Dearing; associate jus¬
tices, Mary McAfee and Taylor
Lee Morton.
According to last semester s
civil service commissioner, Es¬
ther Haines, a list of vacant ap¬
pointive offices may be obtained
in room 29C.
Jack Lamp and the newly-elect¬
ed ASB board members will be
faced with settling the much-dis¬
puted public relations bill when
they convene tomorrow.
The bill, passed by last semes¬
ter’s board and later tabled be¬
cause of administration pressure,
grants an expense account of
500 dollars which will be used
to show prospective students
the desirability of entering
PJC. So far, no department has
been able to draw from this fund
because of a supreme court writ
prohibiting spending of the mon¬
ey until it can b£ determined
whether or not the treasury can
stand the expenditure. According
to the financial department, in¬
creased budget demands would
necessitate dipping into reserve
funds for the $500.
The dispute seems to be not
over the primary purpose of the
bill, although some board mem¬
bers did feel that it was being
engineered by athletic factions,
but over spending the money
while the treasury is in its pres¬
ent state. During the past two
weeks, a number of alternative
plans have been discussed,
among them the idea of group
announcements as opposed to per¬
sonal solicitations in the form of
dinners and meetings which en¬
tail greater expense. A steering
committee comprised of Roy
Shaw and Don Eoyer, opposing
the bill, and Bill Schubert and
Tom Kelley, favoring it, met Jan¬
uary 20 in the hope of arriving
at a satisfactory conclusion. Dick
Van Anda, (neutral- heading the
committee, said that the propo¬
sition of individual solicitation
was the reason the committee
could not obtain a majority vote
to settle the controversy.
Athletics Pay Bills
As it now stands, the Campus
Public Relations Fund is open to
any organization on campus, al¬
though by its very nature, it
would be more beneficial to the
athletic department. The whole
student body government is run
by money made from athletics.
When Van Anda reported to the
board last week that the steer¬
ing committee had not reached a
decision, it was moved and pass¬
ed that the old board drop the
proposition of a public relations
fund with the recommendation
that the new board take it up at
their discretion. It is now up to
them to find an answer to the
problem.
Charlene Burner, Former Dancing Star
Announces Matrimony Plans February 8
Charlene Burner, ’46, the girl who amazed audiences with her
dancing and who wrote the scripts for several Crafty Hall produc¬
tions, last week- announced she would be married February 8 to
George S. Brown of USC.
According to announcements sent out by her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. George Burner, the wed¬

rovia. Miss Burner holds the dis¬
tinction of being the only PJC
girl ever to be awarded a Bull¬
dog pin and be tapped for OMD
at the same time.
Her talents as a script writer
were not altogether restricted to
school productions. While vaca¬
tioning at Lake Tahoe this sum¬
mer, Miss Burner produced a suc¬
cessful show there. As a result,
she was offered
л
contract to
write the script for the Judy Ca-
nova radio program. She declin¬
ed, she said, because at that time
she planned to continue her edu¬
cation. She was also one of the
first stars on the Hi-Iiters cast. Charlene Burner
