PASADENA CHRONICLE
Vo!. XXIX
Pasadena Junior College/ February 18, 1938
No. 20
Elections Feature of Today7s Assemblies
Again the Chronicle cooperates
with the student administration in
promoting a bigger election in the
history of student activities. With
the stipulations regarding election
campaigning now a thing of the
past, students eligible for student
body offices are able to stimulate
interest in the election by clever
campaigning methods.
Colored ballots are an effec¬
tive improvement in PJC elec¬
tions, Revamping the chart for
the position of polls has also
aided the voting facilities by
making it more convenient for
students to vote. The Chronicle
continues its policy of serving
the student body by dedicating
this issue to the furthering of the
work already begun by the
Chief Justice and his assistants.
* * *
A direct replica of the official
ballot appears on the front page of
today’s Chronicle. Candidates are
listed according to the following
order; vice-president, secretary,
treasurer. On the regular ballot,
each class will be distinguished by
a different color. For example, the
names of those applying for senior
class office vacancies will be prin¬
ted in one color while those run¬
ning for junior class offices will be
designated by another color. Vo¬
ters are cautioned to be aware of
the various colors when voting.
Separate class meetings will be
held during assembly period this
morning in an effort to acquaint
voters with applicants for the of¬
fices. With a copy of the Chron¬
icle at hand, voters may select
their candidates during assembly
and mark the sample ballot. This
precaution will assist students in
voting.
A map of the campus is printed
on page three. The location of
voting polls is marked by a nu¬
merical system.
The student government has
provided all the necessary pre¬
liminaries for voting ... a sam¬
ple ballot, an assembly for can¬
didates, a map showing the po¬
sition of the polls, colored bal¬
lots to aid the voter ... all the
VOTER has to do is BRING
his IDENTIFICATION CARD
to the poll. Students must pre¬
sent identification cards before
voting.
Citizenship has certainly become
a simple thing. DON’T FORGET
YOUR IDENTIFICATION
CARD. And I do mean you.

February 22 is a good excuse
for a holiday. Are you going to
the snow, or the desert? Oh, so
you’re going to catch up on your
sleep, huh, and maybe see a show'
Well, have a good time. Who was
Washington anyway?

Convocation was a true inspira¬
tion. The music of Nevin’s “Ro¬
sary’’ swelled from the organ and
clamored at the pink padded walls
of the auditorium, the curtain lif¬
ted revealing a sombre setting. At¬
tention was focussed almost mag¬
netically on an unprepossessing
yet dynamic figure seated quietly
in the center of the group.
As he addressed the group,
the snow capped gentleman
spoke with the wisdom of a
savant. The awed audience lis¬
tened intently to the words of
the Thomas Edison of today, the
man who isolated the electron
and for this work received the
Nobel Prize, the man who is
discovering and developing in¬
formation on cosmic rays.
Pasadena Junior College stu¬
dents appreciate the honor Dr.
Robert A. Millikan accorded them
by speaking before their assembly.
It isn’t often that the seventy-year-
old scientist addresses a large
group of students.

Visual education is becoming
one of the most important and ef¬
fective methods of modern school¬
ing. The foreign language depart¬
ment at PJC is one of the first to
accept this new idea and to incor¬
porate it with the regular program.
The value of visual education
has been proven by experience and
is being adopted in the progressive
educational institutions of the
country. We are proud that Pasa¬
dena Junior College is a leader in
the newest theories of education.

Nine Polling Places
Established
For Voters
Elections of AMS and AWS
representatives, president of the
freshman class and all minor class
officers will be held today from
eight to three o’clock in election
booths stationed around the cam¬
pus.
Polls will be placed on the
grounds as indicated on the map
on page three. The sample ballot
printed on this page lists the names
of election candidates, to be voted
for according to colors for each
class. Seniors will vote for class
officers listed under one color, jun¬
iors for those under another color,
etc.
Plans Changed
Although it was previously an¬
nounced that voting would be held
in the classrooms, a later decision
changed it to the polls on the cam¬
pus. Student body cards will be
punched at the polls.
The offices to be filled by the
election include the students admin¬
istration positions of eight AMS
and eight AWS representatives,
two from each of the four classes;
senior, junior and sophomore ad¬
ministration positions of vice-pres¬
ident, secretary and treasurer; and
freshman class positions of presi¬
dent, vice-president, secretary and
treasurer. The names of the 99
candidates for these offices are
listed on the sample ballot on this
page.
Board, Court In Charge
Members of the court and the
election board have general charge
of all election procedure. Construc¬
tion of polls and distribution of
ballots are among the duties of the
board members. Following the elec¬
tion, the board will determine the

Two New Committees
Will Help Students
For the purposes of helping the
student on the campus, two new
committees have been appointed by
Principal John W. Harbeson.
The Adjustment Committee will
be composed of either the dean of
men or women, the student’s coun¬
selor and one of the student’s
teachers. This committee will at¬
tempt to adjust the problems of a
student who is not getting along
as well as he should. This will
give to three people the opportun¬
ity to assist in the place of one as
heretofore.
The Credit Committee will be
made up of the dean of men or
women, the ASB secretary of fin¬
ance, and Earl Holder, manager of
the bookstore, who is in charge of
merchandise to be sold on credit.
This committee will act on all ac¬
counts owing at the school bank
and attempt to work out financial
matters to the advantage of the
student..
PLAN FOR STUDENT DANCE
Members of the combined AMS-AWS boards shown discussing
the plans for the semi-annual AMS-AWS dance. Seated at the piano
is Herb MacDonald, AMS president. Standing, from left to right,
are Bud Childs, Jean Ford, Phyllis Wilson, Betty Moshisky, AWS
president, and Jack Marr.
'HATCHET SWING' IS THEME
OF MONDAY'S DANCE
With the title “Hatchet Swing” carrying out the Washington’s
birthday theme, the semi-annual student dance, sponsored by the AMS
and AWS will be given in the exhibition hall of the Civic Auditorium
next Monday night from 8:30 until
12 o’clock.
Clubs Compete
In a drive to sell tickets, the
AMS and AWS are sponsoring a
ticket sales competition for the af¬
fair with a prize of 10 dollars go¬
ing to the school organization sell¬
ing the most bids to the dance. Bids
will be sold at ticket booths around
the campus, and students will be
asked to give the name of the club
from which they are buying their
bid at the booth.
The date bureau, successfully es¬
tablished by Secretary of Social
Affairs Jeanette Eastman for the
all-school dance last semester, will
again be used for the AMS-AWS
dance. Mis Eastman urges the use
of the date bureau for those who
would like to become acquainted
with people attending the school
dances.
Evans Will Play-
Hank Evans and his orchestra,
with Fran Thurman as vocalist,
will play for the dance which will
be open to- all AWS and AMS
members. Evans has played for a
number of school dances , in the
past and was chosen for the “Hat¬
chet Swing” because of his popu-

Violinist, Composer
At Next Musicale
Two former Pasadena junior col¬
lege students, one a violinist, the
other a composer-pianist, are guest
artists on the next of the Campus
Musicale Artists series Wednesday
afternoon, February 23, at 3:00 in
the music hall.
Mrs. Harlow Mills, the violinist,
won first place in the Federation of
Music Clubs contest in 1937, and is
now prominent in Pasadena music
circles. Mr. Mills, the composer-
pianist, is a graduate of the Cur¬
tis School of Music in Philadelphia,
and formerly, studied music in It¬
aly. He is now a professor of Eng¬
lish composition at Whittier Uni¬
versity. At Wednesday’s perfor¬
mance he will play some of his own
compositions and explain their ori¬
gin.
Following the program, tea will
be served. The music department
plans for a large faculty attend¬
ance.

DISPUTE
Quiet in the student union of¬
fices! This has, fortunately or
unfortunately, been the case of
late, since at the beginning of the
new semester the administration
threateningly demanded quiet.
However, there are both sides
to the story. Reasons for keeping
the offices locked to all but offi¬
cers, are quoted by Bob Coates:
president of the student body:
1. Business transacted easier; 2.
Noise gives bad impression to
visitors; 3. Maintains more or¬
derly conduct; 4. Breaks up mon¬
opoly of one particular bunch of
officers.
On the other side of the fence,
arguments are presented by
Charles Braden, Mast and Dag¬
ger president. These reasons are
not necessarily opinions of OMD
members. 1. Closing offices is not
democratic; 2. Open offices pro¬
vide a good gathering place; 3.
Little business transacted any¬
way; 4. Gives studes chance to
know officers better; 5. Union
was built with student money
and should be used by them.
Antisdale, Risser
Win Davis-Hall
Oratory Medals
Wilbur Antisdale and Joe Risser,
winners of the Davis-Hall contest
held last Monday, were presented
with medals following the judging
of their speeches in the semi-annu¬
al oratory contest.
Antisdale, with the subject “Let’s
Take Inventory,” won over two
other upper division contestants,
Jean Valentine, whose subject was
“My Oration,” and William Mad-
dison, whose subject was “Hell on
Earth.”
Talks On War
Risser, with the topic “Has War
a Substitute?,” took the lower divi¬
sion honors from Claude Allen, who
spoke on “Old Man River,” and
Beatrice Meyer, whose topic was
“The Effects of War.”
Judges of the contest, Miss Doro¬
thy Dixon, Miss Katherine Kester,
Miss Gertrude Howard, and John
Ehlen, faculty members, reached
their decisions shortly after the
contest, using the “criteria for ef¬
fective speech” as the basis for
their judgment.
Presents Awards
The awards were presented by
Miss Mary Elizabeth Davis, junior
college instructor whose father was
one of the original founders of the
Davis-Hall contests. The contest
was originated in 1907 by N. W.
Davis and J. Herbert Hall, local
businessman. Miss Davis now car¬
ries on the work with Mr. Hall, who
was unable to attend the contests
last Monday.
Winners in last year’s contest
were Joseph Landisman, Western
states oratory champion, and win¬
ner of several contests this year,
and Bruce Jessup, who won the
lower division prizes.

OSTIARIAN MAKES
CAMPUS DEBUT
Ostiarian, new service club, made
its bow to the campus this week,
with the purpose of rendering serv¬
ice by ushering at PJC functions.
The club also plans to have social
activities.
Ostiarian, coming from the Latin
word meaning janitor, was chosen
as the name of the club because
the janitor in the Roman Coliseum
corresponded closely to the modern
usher, and also because there is no
Latin word meaning usher.
New members, the club limit be¬
ing 40, are selected at the end of
each semester on the basis of will¬
ingness to work, character traits
and scholarship ability. Charter
members were chosen on their past
work in ushering.
“I really think that this new
Ostiarian club, while not attempt¬
ing to run in competition with the
Spartans and Lancers, will do an
excellent job on wha.t is now a
grave problem in the auditorium.
Everyone in school knows of the
ramming and jamming at the two
main entrances of the auditorium
during Friday assembly periods,
and in view of the experience these
fellows and girls have had usher¬
ing, they should be able to handle
the situation to an advantage,” said
Vemie Leif, president of the new
club.
Other officers of the club are:
Max Caplan, vice-president; Kimiko
Fukutaki, recording secretary ;
Myra Noltimier, corresponding sec¬
retary; and Elizabeth Kirkpatrick,
treasurer.
Miss Catherine J. Robbins, dean
of women, and Charles F. Eckels,
physical science instructor, will act
as advisers for the new organiza¬
tion.
