of Hill and Colorado.
This year, the show, held for the
first time in May, 1933, will be the
largest event ever to be sponsored
by a local campus group. When
cars were shown in the open men’s
basketball courts for the first
year’s .exhibit, and in 1934. 25 cars
constituted a display in the same
place.
Twenty makes of cars will be
represented, the various styles of

tribute cars.
Accessory exhibits of tires, bat¬
teries, radios, carburetors, and ra¬
diator and hub caps will be estab¬
lished in the tent with various
members of the club in charge.
Leading accessory dealers in the
Pasadena district will be repre¬
sented. Refreshments will also be
sold at an adjoining concession.
General admission tickets are to
go on sale for 25 cents, to students
and public alike, Patrick said Wed¬
nesday.

Heads Hold
Open House
Student Union Offices
Will Be Opened To
All Collegians
A special invitation is extended
to all old and new students to meet
student officers at the A. S. B.
Open House in the Student Union
building tomorrow, from 12 to 2.
If fair weather prevails, a dance
in the driveway will be held, but
a special ensemble from the band
is expected to play in any case.
Dave Patrick, president of the
student body, guarantees plenty of
punch and cookies, and hopes that
all students will come and make
themselves at home in their build¬
ing.
Arline Wopschall heads the com¬
mittee for open house, with Kay
West, Jason Lee and Joe Phillips
as assistants.
Besides a chance to meet officers
this affair will give the new “jay-
seeites” an opportunity to meet
other students and to view the
bank, bookstore and soda fountain.
Cooperation Is
Greatly Needed
On J. C. Campus
To the incoming students:
As you become a part of Pas¬
adena junior college, more is ex¬
pected of you than of any of the
classes before you. The campus,
for the present only, is disor¬
ganized and school is being con¬
ducted under difficulties which
make a close cooperation of the
student body an absolute neces¬
sity. In view of these facts we
can only urge you to assume
your duties with as much adapt¬
ability as possible.
The freedoms you will enjoy
as members of this student body
will probably greater than those
enjoyed in your respective high
schools. We feel confident that
you will not take advantage of
this trust placed in you and will
obey all school regulations. The
main regulations to be obeyed
are: “closed campus” on convo¬
cation days, quiet when passing
between tents, careful parking
of cars, and the complete ab-
stainance from all1 profanity,
smoking, and gambling on the
campus.

Expect
More To
Register
Augment Re-registration
With Half Thousand
New Students
With all indications pointing
toward an enrollment equalling
that of last year, registration
opened officially this morning at
S o’clock for the current seme ter,
according to the Records office.
Total registration is expected to
exceed 3500 with about 400 of
these being new students, official
communications said. Transcripts
have been received for lower divi¬
sion entrance from 112 persons,
while many more are expected to
register before the final date of
February 25.
Important
Records office officials, under
the direction of John A. Anderson
dean of records, emphasized espe¬
cially the fact that students whos°
study lists were not made out
until after last Wednesday evening
should report to tents 14 and 21.
11-1 students will report as fol¬
lows: A-L to the cafeteria, in ba-k
of the main building; M-Z to Hunt¬
er house, which is located south¬
east of the swimming pool. Fresh¬
men who have problems concern¬
ing their programs should see
Miss Ida E. Hawes, dean of guid¬
ance, not their counselor.
Changes
A bulletin from the office said
that unless a change of program
is necessary, each student must
register according to the original
copy of his study list. Changes
of program must be made out be¬
fore the registration form is filled
out and only those changes abso¬
lutely necessary will be made. The
two large form sheets which were
substituted for the traditional form
book last semester will again be
used today.

plans for the annual homecoming
dance are being formulated. The

A. R. Baldwin and Miss Catherine
•J. Robbins.
New Students
Are Welcomed
By Principal
Hearty greetings and a cordial
welcome to the new students of
Pasadena junior college. We
trust that the new semester will
be a period rich in personal
growth and development, genu¬
ine scholarship and new and
lasting friendships. We invite
you to identify yourself with the
life of the college and be one of us.
While the deprivation of our
buildings constitutes a distinct
handicap, it is not a serious ob¬
stacle to good work. All of our
facilities are available and in
spite of unfavorable physical
conditions, the serious and strong
students of the college are doing
as good work and making as
great progress as they ever did.
Funds have already been pro¬
vided for the reconstruction of
our physical plant and in the not
distant future there will emerge
upon this campus a beautiful
group of buildings of which we
shall all be proud. In the mean¬
time let us keep our standards
high.

Change In
Programs
Introduced
Require Taking Of Survey
Courses By L. D.
Students
Progressive curriculum changes
resulting in a net decrease of 97
units of work formerly offered by
the various departments concerned,
were announced recently by the ad¬
ministration. The changes in the
curriculum were made under the
joint supervision of Dr. John W.
Harbeson, principal; George H.
Merideth, deputy superintendent of
city schools; Miss Margaret Ben¬
nett, supervisor of guidance and
curriculum revision of the city
schools; Miss Ida E. Hawes, dean
of guidance, and with the expert
advice of Dr. Thomas L. Hopkins
of Columbia university.
Authorities emphasized the fact
that the new curriculum does not
mean that all the elements of the
courses dropped have been elimin-
< ated. On the contrary, with the
new unified, integrated courses,
most of this material has been
combined to prevent overlapping
of courses with consequent in¬
crease in efficiency.
Chief among the changes is the
introduction of four new survey
courses next semester, in the fields
of the humanities — music, art, and
literature; physical sciences; social
sciences; and homemaking.
The tendency of the new set-up
has been to .economize expenses
and to simplify the whole curricu¬
lum. Chairmen of departments, to¬
gether with Dr. Harbeson and
Miss Hawes, have gone over every
offering in each department, to see
whether it would justify its reten¬
tion in the educational program of
1 this school.

Eight outstanding jaysee stu¬
dents were tapped for Mast and
Dagger, honorary service organi¬
zation, Friday morning in assem¬
bly. Those honored were Jean
Backus, Bob Dawson, Ben Ludden,
James Martin, Dave Patrick, Bud
Paulson, Maxine Thompson and
P’red Warriner.
Chosen for their unselfish serv¬
ice to the junior college, the new
members received the award as a
complete surprise since absolute
secrecy is the rule for the cere¬
mony. Each of these chosen has
served at least three semesters,
one of which has been particularly
outstanding, in varied activities.
Lee Houghton, Mast and Dagger
president, was in charge of the
tapping.
Outstanding
Jean Backus is at present the
editor of the Vo-Mag and previ¬
ously held important positions on
First the Blade and The Campus,
as well as being active in the Y.
W. C. A. and various literary clubs
and activities. Hours of work on
the stage crew, scoreboard, motion
picture projector, and at the school
dances over a long period won
membership for Bob Dawson.
The editor of the Campus, Ben
Ludden, has worked on this publi¬
cation for several semesters, is a
senior council member, and has en¬
tertained with piano selections at
many functions, while James Mar¬
tin was honored for his outstand¬
ing service as manager of the
Bulldog band.
Dave Patrick, newly elected stu¬
dent body president, has served as
secretary of activities during this
semester and previously as an of¬
ficer in the sophomore and junior
class and on all the class councils.

tary of publications, was editor of
the Chronicle last semester, and
previously wg.s news editor of the
same publication, acted on the

activities handbook, and has con¬
tributed to various other publica¬
tions in addition to serving as pub-

Welcome Greetings;
Music Is Given
Carrying out an established tra¬
dition the vesper service for new
and old students was held at the
Calvary Baptist church yesterday

Following the quartet, Dave
Patrick addressed the assembly
with a greeting from the old stu¬
dents to the new. An orginal com¬
position by Stanley Taft, student
from the music department, “I
Will Call Upon Thee,” was given
as a vocal solo. In conjunction
with the student body president’s
welcome, Dr. John W. Harbeson,
principal, presented a greeting
from the faculty.

panied by Miss Parmley, sang
three compositions.
Munro Talks

ifornia Institute of Technology, ad¬
dressed the audience. As a finale
to the program, Reverend Caldwell

OFFICERS DANCE
Student body officers and their
guests were sponsors of the Com¬
munity dance at the Pasadena
Civic auditorium a week ago Fri¬
day. The music was that of Dick
Bergins’ orchestra.
Featured by re-seating only four j
of the 13 officers of the first sem¬
ester, the Board of Representatives
last week made public their ap¬
pointments for the associated stu¬
dents cabinet for the coming
school term. The designation of a
secretary of publicity was deferred
pending further applications.
The new appointments in¬
clude:
Bruce Winton — secretary of
activites.
Jim Herbold — se cretary of
athletics.
Bill Moir — secretary of fin¬
ance.
Pauline Stevens — secretary of
publications.
Mary Alice Gianetti — secre¬
tary of public relations.
Alta Paquette — secretary of
social affairs.
Carl Diesenroth — secretary of
records.
Marjorie Betts, incumbent, and
Jack Keenan were appointed asso¬
ciate justices of the Student Cou~t
under Chief Justice Trevor Gard¬
ner.
Lynn Smith was chosen for the
capacity of clerk of the board, and
Helen Morley as clerk of the court.
Anna Marjorie Loomis will be the
clerk of the cabinet.
Newcomer
Filling the post occupied by
Dave Patrick, new student body
president, the new secretary of ac¬
tivities, Bruce Winton is a new¬
comer to student body affairs. He
is a transfer from Redondo high
school, where he filled a similar
position in his high school student
body. At Pasadena he has been a
member of the upper division foot¬
ball eleven, and was an unsuccess¬
ful candidate for the A. M. S.
presidency during the recent elec¬
tions.
The appointment of Pauline Ste¬
vens to the publicity post brings to
the cabinet a past A. W. S. presi¬
dent while Alta Paquette, new so¬
cial affairs chief, was secretary of
the same body last semester.
Jim Herbold, athletics, a past
freshman class president, received
the appointment when Craig Mc¬
Laughlin, Lancer president, with¬
drew his application to remain in,
his former position. Harold Berg,
oral arts representative, has been
a leading figure in junior college
debate circles for the past two
years. He fills the post vacated by
Joe Phillips.
Incumbents Returned
Moir, Diesenroth and Gianetti
were the successful applicants to
re-appointment to their old posts,
as well as Marjorie Betts, associ¬
ate justice.
The number of applications for
each position was considerably
larger than in recent years, al¬
though several aspirants were de¬
clared ineligible because of schol¬
astic difficulties.
Has Incentive
For Progress
The advent of the new semes¬
ter carries with it an anticipa¬
tion for accomplishing greater
things and solving deeper prob¬
lems that, of necessity, must be
met on the tough road of experi¬
ence.
The original idea of the new
student union building was to
provide a place for all students
in the junior college.
At the present time the state
of the campus is disreputable in
physical appearance, but the true
school spirit is still there. How¬
ever, in the next few months,
even the physical makeup will
be changed and until that time,
an optimistic attitude should be
developed.

A. S. B. President.
