'Hatchet Swing' Theme
For Washington's
Birthday Dance
"The Hatchet Swing,” this se¬
mester’s version of the semi-annual
student dance sponsored by the
AMS and AWS, will be given in
the exhibition hall of the Civic
auditorium Monday night, Febru¬
ary 2 1 .
A ticket sales competition for a
cash prize of $10 will be held
among' the school clubs to encour¬
age the sale of bids to the dance,
according to Dick Bagnard, AMS
second vice-president. Ticket booths
will be placed around the campus
for the sale of bids. Students will
be asked to give the name of the
club from which they are buying
their bid when they purchase it at
the booth.
Hank Evans To Play
Hank Evans’ orchestra, which
has played for a number of school
dances in the past, will furnish
the music for the “Hatchet Swing.”
Decorations, arranged by Phyllis
Wilson, AWS second vice-president,
will carry out the Washington’s
birthday theme. The bids, designed
by Betty Moshisky, AWS president,
will be done in imperial blue with
a red and white design featuring a
hatchet and bunches of cherries.
The pages of the bids will list the
dances under nicknames chosen by
the committee in charge of the
dance.
Proceeds Go To Fund
Any proceeds of the dance will
go into the fund for AMS and AWS
activities. Bids will sell at 25 cents
a couple. Making final plans for
the dance, several members of the
student administration met last
week to go over tentative plans for
the theme and to discuss the ticket
selling campaign. Present at the
meeting, over which Herb MacDon¬
ald, AMS president who has charge
of the dance, presided, were Miss
Moshisky; Jean Ford, AWS first
vice-president; Miss Wilson; Eve¬

ment to be held at the College of

ruary 11, 12 and 13.

Radio Class Broadcasts
Original Play
“Double Anniversary,” an origin¬
al radio play by T. H. Prewitt,
radio production student, was pre¬
sented by members of the PJC ra¬
dio production class over station
KPPC, Wednesday evening, Febru¬
ary 9, from 8:45 to 9:15.

which concerned the dramatic story

Op en Forum Will Hear
Dr. deLaubenfels
Next Thursday
Members of the Pasadena Junior
College Open Forum will meet Feb¬
ruary 17, to hear Dr. Max W. de
Lsubenfels, professor of biology
and zoology here, discuss the prob¬
lem “Let’s Abolish the Proletariat”
before the group in room 200C.
The meeting is scheduled to start
at 8 p. m.
After the short talk by Dr. de
Laubenfels, the group will hold an
open discussion on the subject.
Members of the PJC student body,
students in other schools, and the
citizens of Pasadena are cordially
invited to attend.
According to Dr. deLaubenfels,
there must be some social adjust¬
ment made to counteract the stead¬
ily decreasing intelligence level of
the race. He believes the skillful,
strong and highly-intelligent clas¬
ses should be encouraged to breed
more together for the good of the
race in general. Among the highly-
intelligent classes there is an in¬
creasing tendency towards careers
and celibacy in preference to mar¬
riage. On the other hand, unproduc¬
tive, so-called “parasite” classes
are encouraged to marry and breed
in large numbers by the present
system of monetary relief, or the
“dole.” By the terrific increase in
their numbers, this class, the
“hangers-in” of society, pulls down
the mental level of the entire race.

PJC CLAIMED
FOURTH LARGEST
With an ever-increasing enroll¬
ment figure for each new semester,
Pasadena Junior College is now
probably the fourth largest school
in the state of California, exceeded
only by the University of Califor¬
nia at Berkeley, the University of
California at Los Angeles and the
University of Southern California,
according to Dean of Records John
A. Anderson.
A week ago the total enrollment
in day classes for the new semes¬
ter had reached a new high of
4620, exceeding the corresponding
figure of a year ago by 685 and the
figure of a semester ago by 303.
This figure will be somewhat high¬
er at the close of the registration
period at 4 o’clock next Monday.
With the addition of the evening
figure enrollment for the new se¬
mester, the total school enrollment
will reach well over the 5000 mark,
according to Mr. Anderson.
Jean Valentine Wins
Extemporaneous Prize
Jean Valentine won first place in
the Men’s Extemporaneous Speak¬
ing contest, class B, of the South¬
ern California Tournament of Ora¬
tory and Extemporaneous Speaking
last Saturday.
In class A, men’s oratory, Fred¬
erick Smith placed first, ' Eugene
Erickson second, and Wilbur An¬
tisdale, third.
Competition was especially keen
due to the faet that most of the
students participating in the con¬
test have been competing for the
past two or three years as college
students.
In oratory, PJC was the only
junior college to reach the finals.
About 12 schools and colleges com¬
pete in this annual affair which is
