Peters, who leave Pasadena next Sunday to compete in the annual Rocky Mountain Speech Conference. The conference, starting Thursday, February 14, brings representatives from junior colleges and universities throughout the Western States to exhibit their various skills in many fields of oral arts. All of Pasadena’s delegates are entered in a new type of debate Chartered Busses to Carry Basketball Fans to Compton When “Weary” Walton’s rejuvenated Bulldog basketball aggre¬ gation treks to Compton tomorrow night to hand the undefeated, league-leading Tartars their first Metropolitan Conference setback, the student body will travel, too. For the first time in PJC history, the students will be trans¬ ported to the Hub City hardwoods in a caravan of Embree busses, as many as reservations require. Leaving time is set for 6:45 p. m. from the parking lot. Coeds Reserve Wednesday For Gala ^Valentine Fair77 The red hearts of Valentine provide the theme for the 1946 AWS Coed Party. It will be held this coming Wednesday, February 13, from 3 to 5 p. m. on the Student Union lawns. Various campus organizations will sponsor booths for penny tossing and fortune telling, and a yet unnamed victim will be the target for wet sponges. Members of art groups will sketch Valentine portraits for several penny tickets, and at the Red Cross booth there will be “hats made while you wait.” There will be competition among the booths with prizes called Progressive Discussion, in which a topic is developed through an informal group talk. Extensive research has been made by the students on this year’s topic, “Free World Trade.” Three speakers have entered Ora¬ tory, two in Debate, one in Radio News Commentary. Since this gathering is suppos¬ ed to be a display of speech tal¬ ents, the series of groups is not arranged in formed contests, with prizes, however, awards will be made to schools in recognition of special achievement. Speakers will be judged on analysis, defin¬ itions, reasoning, presentation of facts, evaluating, effectiveness in human relations, refinements and correctness of voice, diction, grammar, and any other tech¬ niques in good speaking. PJC has done very well in previous years at such conferences, even against college competition. The Associated Students are sponsoring our representatives by financing the railroad fare, but the Oral Arts Department and the students themselves are covering expenses while in Den¬ ver. Board Honors Bolander The final meeting of last sem¬ ester’s Student Body Board was held in Dr. Harbeson’s office last Monday morning, at which time a Hamilton watch was presented to Fred Bolander in appreciation for his fine leadership through two semesters as PJC’s student body president. Coming as a complete surprise to Fred, the presentation of the gift by members of the “Old Board” demanded an acceptance speech which was applauded for its spontaniety. On the back of the watch was engraved “To Fred From Your Fall Board of 1945.” Miller Plans To Revive AMS Pep Proposals and plans for this semester’s activities of the AMP Board were discussed and a sched¬ ule was mapped out at the first meeting held January 31 in 29C. As their first project, the 25 members present, which included representatives of various cam¬ pus organizations, decided upon the initiation of a traditional in¬ ter-class Tug-of-War, to be waged Thursday morning, February 21, following the assembly. Partici¬ pants will form teams according to grade level and wear uniforms to be designated by the committee in charge of the event. The board has hopes of spon¬ soring two cotton-and-cord dances this semester. It is also making plans for a snake dance which| may become a traditional event in the future. Any men’s club or organization with male members which has not been represented is requested to select a delegate at once; no¬ tify Phil Miller or Dean Stong of the appointment and send that person to the next meeting. School spirit is high for the revolutionary event as already more than 100 students have signed up in Dean Stong’s office. Cost Low Round trip will be 75 cents per person and it will be only 60 cents if the busses are filled (that iss certain). If you haven’t as yet made your reservations, Miss Newcomer in the Dean of tars have the only undefeated quintet in the Metro loop this Men’s office will accept them and your money. The Maroon and Grey Tar- season, and have met every school in the Conference except Pasadena. Compton is Strong The high-flying hosts have chalked up one of the most im¬ pressive records in Jaycee circles this season. The Hub City five scored 93-14 and 82-23 victories over East Los Angeles. They downed Glendale, 51-43, the same club which took measure of PJC, 61-48. Where Pasadena was edged 58-54 by Long Beach, the Comp- tonites handed the Vikings a 43- 38 setback. Comparatively speak¬ ing, the Red and White locals will be the underdog.
