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. Ray Swartz directed the play, which concerned the dramatic story of a man who lost his memory dur¬ ing the World War. Members of the cast are as follows: Bessie. Jo¬ sephine Merrill; Mollie, Viola Fred¬ erick; Dave, Luther Newby; Ten¬ ner, Henry Hughes; Frank, Don. Id Fuller; Gus, George Sabin; Kalh- eryne, Feme Warner; Drew, Hqn- ry Hughes; Redgie, Jack Curtis;; Minister and Doctor, Charles Rose; Nurse, Betrtrelle Brightwell 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. UCLA I nstructor To Address Aesculapians Dr. Schuler Fagan will address the Aescupalians, pre-medical or¬ ganization, at their meeting Fri¬ day, February 11, at 8 p. m. in 104D.
