Student Senate Will
Talk On 'Advantage
Of Our Government’
Student Orators Will Give Talks Before Election
Assembly; Winners To Write Essays To
Be Judged By Junior Chamber
“A.n Advantage of American Government,” will be the topic on
which the members of the student senate will speak in assembly today.
The Senate was chosen in the student elections last semester,
and five were picked to represent each class. The winners of the
speeches will compete against each other later at the Civic auditorium.
The talks will be of a few min-1» -
utes duration, and the students gCh

from each class, freshman, sopho¬
more, junior and senior, will vote
on the candidates at the same time
as the election of class officers.
The Junior Chamber of Commerce,
sponsors of the contest, will judge
the essays, which each contestant
will write, on the same subject as
today’s talks.
The contest is an experimental
idea, and if it is successful in its
first trial at Pasadena junior col¬
lege, it will become a national af¬
fair. Its purpose is to promote
interest in the present American
form of government.
Seniors Listed
Those who will speak before the
senior class will be Bud Paulson,
Bill Caldwell, Ray Kahn and Dex¬
ter Paddock. Those speaking be¬
fore the junior classes are to be
Tom Sommerville, Anna Katherine
Jones, Phil Hawgood, Elsie Jones
and Bob Thomas. The represent¬
atives from the sophomore class
include Chuck Braden, Phil Cart¬
wright, Barbara Milliken, Stuart
Russell and Coline Upshaw. The
freshmen students will choose from
Bruce Jessup, Betty Wilcox, Dick
Balch, Andy Nelson and Henry
Swafford.
“Students,” said Kit Cartwright,
secretary of interior relations, “are
asked nlease not to vote until the
candidates have made , their
speeches. The talks are to be of
two minute duration, with each
student taking a different phase
of the subject for his speech.”
With the essay as well as the
speech, students who compete in
this first contest will have to show
a very definite amount of ability
before becoming winners. A pos¬
sibility in plans, she said, is that
the Pasadena group selected will
tour parts of the United States to
promote Americanism and spread
the idea of this contest.
ETA Goes To
Bell Exchange
Journeying through the Bell
Telephone Exchange of Los An¬
geles last Wednesday afternoon,
members of the Electrical Tech
association witnessed the manner
in which telephone calls are handled
in the metropolitan city.
Beginning their tour of the plant
where the telephone lines enter the
building, the technology students
followed the course of a call
through the dial selectors, or ex¬
change board in case of a long
distance call, up to the power room
and then back out to the party be¬
ing called. During the trip, mem¬
bers of E. T. A. were shown how
the pay phone operates, how
“trouble shooters” locate interrup¬
tions in service, the method of
handling long distance calls, and
the operation of the teletype sys¬
tem of communication.
Members in this group, which
numbers about 20 men, is open to
upper division students enrolled in
the electrical technology course. At
the last meeting of the club, offi¬
cers were unanimously reelected to
hold the same positions. The pres¬
ident is Robert Phillips; vice-pres¬
ident, Wilbur Mitchell; publicity,
Jim Mathews; and secretary-treas¬
urer, Roy Crammer; and Francis
McGough acting as adviser.

England and Alexander Woollcott,
popular columnist who was heard
over the ether waves as the “town
crier” will be featured in the com¬
ing issue of Vo-Mag, which will go
into circulation March 4. Student
reporters who interviewed these
celebrities were Alice Flynn and
Carter C'ordner, both members of
Beta Phi Gamma.
Books and printing are the theme
for the second issue of V'o-Mag
and more distinguished characters
will contribute than to any other
pervious issue, according to Dow

honors in the national scholastic
press association and this year

Several curios were exhibited by
Breece. Among them were an an¬
cient brass mirror with untransla¬
table writing, a silken scroll bear¬
ing a message of congratulations
from a Manchu emperor of long
ago to his general, an ivory im¬
age of a priest, which also could
be used as a container for snuff,
and a jadte piece, of a oat with her
paws on a butterfly, this duo being
on a lotus leaf.
He told of the barren condition
around Chansi where he lived for
some time, the splendor of the im¬
perial city, Peiping, and spent the
concluding moments answering

’No Sissy,’ He
Who Writes
Best Poetry
‘First The Blade’ Contest
Proof Of Manhood,
Says Scribe
By Louise Williams
There was -a time, oh ye Joe Col¬
lege kiddies, when poetry was writ¬
ten, read and loved by all who
knew it . . now, however, if a
person tries to write a verse or
two, he is branded a sissy and a
softy. But there is not a female on
the campus who would not be proud
to say that she knew the winner
of the 1936 Creative Verse contest,
sponsored by “First the Blade.”
The winner of this annual contest
has never graced the tents of Pas¬
adena junior college, and it might
be a good idea to establish some
sort of a precedent, and have a win¬
ner or two from the Crown City.
Got Ideas
Here’s the idea: A few years ago
the California Fellowship of Creat¬
ive Art got an idea . . . that it
might be a noble thought to have
the Junior Colleges in sunny Cali¬
fornia compete in a little poetry
contest. Each year a different
school publishes this attractive
book, “First the Blade,” and up-
and-coming poets and poetesses
from all over the state send in
their contributions. (Incidentally,
this book may be purchased for
the slight sum of ten dimes.)
At Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa junior college, which
is, incidentally at Santa Rosa, Cal¬
ifornia, is publishing “First the
Blade” this year, so kindly mail
all manuscripts in care of the book
to the above jaysee. Manuscripts
are books or papers, written by
hand, according to Webby, only in
this^ case, it had better be typed
intriplicate; one poem on a page;
(or is that being optimistic?) and
the name of the student must be
written upon aforesaid paper, with
the name of the college and the
enrollment year.
Fifteen dollars ($15.00) is the
amount of the first prize, and think
of the fun one (or two) could have
