Says Officers7 T ickets
Now Null And Void
Moving swiftly in an effort to improve the student
courts, newly appointed Student Prosecutor Bill Yates, order¬
ed the recall, effective today, of all ticket books now held by
Lancers, Spartans, and other enforcement officers. This move
was taken according to Yates, because of congestion in courts,
due to the indiscriminate handing out of tickets. The student
prosecutor has been forced to bring action against people to
whom these tickets are care-

dened by the death of Phillips
“Bud” Robinson. Son of P. V.
Robinson of 1145 S. Euclid, San
Gabriel. “Bud” was injured dur¬
ing a regular physical education
class last Wednesday.
His accident was the result of
a collision between “Bud” and a
classmate shortly after activities

a neck injury. Immediately aft¬
er the accident, first aid was ren¬
dered.

lessly given.
PREVENTION TRIED
In the future when an enforce¬
ment officer sees a violation of
the criminal code, he will reason
with the violator. “But if the
violator remains adamant and
refuses to mend his ways the of¬
ficer will merely tell him that he
will see him in court. The offi¬
cer will then go to the court
desk in the Student Union and
fill out a complaint against said
violator.”
However, the officer must
back up his complaint with
conclusive proof “beyond rea¬
sonable doubt” of the student’s
guilt in violating a section of
the student code. If this evi¬
dence can be produced, the stu-

Extended Powers
Of Shieldmen
Long a sore spot to PJC has
been Shieldman organization’s
continual howl to be recognized
on a plane equal to that of
Lancers. Originally organized by
Warren Glass (now Attorney
General) Shieldmen were only
to handle traffic problems in
crowded PJC parking lots. Late
in 1939 Shieldmen were given
authority to enforce student laws
in all parts of the two campuses.
Last Thursday PJC’s firm
Board of Representatives decid¬
ed that Shieldmen’s extended
powers had gone to their heads,
promptly revoked it, returned
their jurisdiction to the parking
lots alone. To complete the law
enforcement clean-up campaign,
fast working board members
gave complete approval to action
introduced by Student Prosecu¬
tor Bill Yates in abolishing all
ticket books, ruled all Lancers
and Spartans must turn in books
immediately (see col. 1 top.)
Reason given by board mem¬
bers for this sweeping reform
was that students had no respect
for these two organizations, dis¬
liked ticket books even more.
Hedging, to protect themselves,
the board added that this was
only a trial measure, passed the
buck to next semester’s board to
make final decision.
Farsighted Lancers added to
their constitution last month a
clause providing that Shieldmen
would be a sub-Lancer group,
half of Lancers’ new members
being Shieldmen.
Rooke, Lusk Elected
Triton Presidents
For New Semester
Little known service organiza¬
tions is PJC’s Triton Council.
Composed of girls who have
helped the school in many ways,
the Tritons are similar to the
Spartans in promoting social
functions, but do not have a po¬
lice duty.
NEW OFFICERS
The council is starting this
year with Virginia Rooke elected
as president, Marjorie Maybury,
vice president, and Jean Patter¬
son, secretary.
Main function of the club is to
promote social affairs that will
help the students of JC get bet¬
ter acquainted. An example of
this is their sponsoring of the
coffee hour.
Dr. Lert, Civic Orchestra Conductor

Dr. Richard Lert, conductor of Pasadena’s Civic orchestra and
chorus, will speak to the Kantela Club and all other students inter¬
ested in music during assembly period, February 28. Subject dis¬
cussed will be “Musical Opportunities In America As Compared
With Those In Europe.”
Forum style similar to the Tuesday Evening procedure will be

sing in 4 F before this date or following the meeting.
Very well known in Europe Dr. Lert has toured all the conti¬
nents as a conductor. Conductor of the Leipzig Opera in Germany
at one time, he is better known to Pasadenans for directing the Pasa¬
dena Music Festival.

Baum, well known for her popular books, “The Tale of Bali,” and
“Shanghai ’37.”

Europe and in this country. Recently Dr. Lert has gained note as a
