ternity, announced the election of
eleven new members to their ranks
in the final as¬
sembly last Fri-

Before the presentation Mr. Har¬
beson explained the purpose and
organization of Omieron Mu Delta.
With the organization of the Pasa¬
dena junior college, Nobu Kawai
and Alan McElwain, together with
a group of the most prominent stu¬
dent body officials, conceived the
idea of organizing a purely honor¬
ary service club. Considerable dif¬
ficulty arose as to the method of or¬
ganization of the club and through
correspondence with the leading
colleges of the Pacific coast, having
similar merit awarding systems,
the Mast and Dagger evolved, em¬
bodying in it the best points of
plans presented. An interesting
feature is the manner in Which the
name was selected. At that time
the school emblem was that of the
pirate, a.nd the committee conceived
the idea of a symbolic name — Mast
and Dagger, with the Greek letters
Omieron Mu Delta.
Mast and Dagger stands for the
ideal of recognition of unselfish
service rendered to the college. The
members of the Mast and Dagger
ACTIVITY SECRETARIES APPOINTED BY STUDENT BOARD
Committee to Program
Activities Appointed

Because the student body is
dangerously near the edge of
losing the club periods, a tem¬
porary committee has been
appointed by the Board of
Representatives to work on a
plan of student body social
activities.
Dorothea Capps as chair¬
man with a committee con¬
sisting of Jack Layng, Rad
Dartnell, Ed Rowins, Alba
Pece, and Fannie Arnold, will
work out a program of social
activities for those students
who do not have club meetings
and who are not making val¬
uable use of the club periods
as originally intended.
This measure is found to be
working successfully in other
colleges where the problem
has arisen and it is the hope
of the Board of Representa¬
tives that it will solve the
problem of club periods here.
Cafeteria Dons
Color for Frosh
Starting freshman week well on
its way to success, the annual frosh

incoming freshmen and their spon¬
sors and pals was decorated with
red and white crepe paper as well
as many school pom-poms. Bud
Miller was head of the committee
in charge of decorating the cafe¬
teria.
Mary Jenkins was the chairman
of the general committee which was
responsible for the affair. Bud

Chronicle , Mad Dog, Publicity Heads Chosen;
Board Sanctions Changes in Publication Staffs
Sanctioning a new system of publication staff selection, the Board of Representatives appointed heads
for the “Chronicle,” “Mad Dog,” and Publicity Bureau in a special meeting held Thursday, February 13.
Harold Weight will edit the “Chronicle” for the spring semester, while Ruth Pfeiffer will remain in
charge of the “Mad Dog,” and Doug McMann continue as Director of Publicity. The new system provides
for the appointment of only one head for each publication; and the selection of all other staff members by
that head with the approval of the adviser.
The staff of the “Chronicle” this
semester will be divided into two
sections — one to handle the editor¬
ial production, and the other to or¬
ganize the back shop work, accord¬
ing to Harold Weight, editor.
These two divisions will be under
the control of two associate editors
—Ned Stirling (typography), and
George Pierce (editorial). Each
will have complete charge if his
section. The installation of this sys¬
tem is expected to speed up the
production of the paper, and elimi¬
nate duplication of work.
The staff for the spring has been
selected on Thursday afternoon by
the new editor and Rex Truman,
publication adviser. Editorial staff:

and reputations until the next issue
of the “Mad Dog” is out, says Ruth
Pfeiffer, editor of the college hu¬
mor publication. The magazine will
contain much of interest to those
who are not involved. Miss Pfeiffer ganization.

Student Body Fees
Support Activities
Student body fees, required
of freshmen upon entrance .to
P. J. C., are not just so much
money paid for no good rea¬
son. It is from the student
body that money is obtained
to carry on basketball, track,
swimming, water polo, base¬
ball, and other sporting ac¬
tivities. Six hundred dollars
is contributed to the support
of the “Chronicle”; between
four and five thousand dollars
is used for the production of
the “Campus,” junior college
yearbook. There is no activity
around the school which does
not derive its existence alto¬
gether or in part to the money
gained from student body fees.
And every student is eaititled
to take part in each and every
one of the activities, to go to
the games free of charge, to
get his “Chronicle” every Fri¬
day, and receive an edition of
the “Campus.”
