No. 4 Pasadena Junior College, Pasadena, California February 26, 1947 Men Propose 21 Day Beard Tournament Whiskerino Staged in Protest to Shortage Of Shaving Equipment "We aim to do something about the shaving equipment shortage.” With that remark Burt Eaton of the AMS board announced the forthcoming Whiskerino Contest or shaver’s delight which is being held for the second successive year on the Pasadena Junior Col lege campus. New Features Last year’s whiskerino proved so successful that AMS president Tom Kelley is sponsoring the con¬ test this year. Kelley announced that several new features have been added, most important of which is the extension from two to three weeks of the time allot¬ ted for beard growing. This was done, the AMS president said, in answer to the numerous com¬ plaints of the frosh who felt they weren’t being given a fair chance. Man Haters? One of the features of last year’s event was the manner in which the campus coeds treated the conscientious members of the AMS. Their refusal to speak cre¬ ated quite a stir. Needless to say the whiskerinos did not retaliate with the same mental cruelty. Entrance Rules Men wishing to enter the con¬ test may sign up in the dean of men’s office between the hours of 8:00 to 5:00 on Monday, March 3. All entrants are subject to an ex¬ amination and must be. clean shaven to qualify.

The unit has thus far sent 3144 gift packages on their way to European children, the toys therein being the chief item con¬ tributed directly by PJC students. The toys are constructed here on the campus in T building.

Lancer Code Amended to Provide for Increased Enrollment, President Says At the meeting on February 20, Lancers, the top men’s school service club elected seventeen new members and amended the organization’s constitution accord¬ ing to word received from club president, Pies Griffin.

JUNIOR CLASS Search Completed for Vacant Classrooms The Junior Class Council com¬ pleted its study room survey this week, class president Dick Mait¬ land announced today.

The pres¬ ent schedule includes some forty odd rooms and there is a room available at almost every hour in the school day. More Rooms Soon Maitland said the Council is still working to obtain more rooms. The class committee is hoping to find more available rooms in C building as that is the building used by the great¬ est number of students and also the building that has contributed the least number of study rooms. Civil Service Commissioner Lists Names of Students Who Filled Vacant Posts In a statement received from Mary Lou Dearing, civil service commissioner, it was revealed that the ASB board had approved six students who applied for cab¬ inet positions.

Special Election The student board approved the new constitution with the ex¬ ception of Section 1П, Article 2, at the meeting of February 20.

There will be a special election held on an unannounced date at which time the new constitution will be pre¬ sented to the student body for popular approval. New Department Arrangement At the board meeting it was re¬ vealed that the various commis¬ sioners and secretaries of the cab¬ inet had been revised into a specific department setup. Incor¬ porated in the constitution is a new department of athletics which consists of a secretary of pep and a secretary of health. The Chronicle, Campus and Hud¬ dle as well as all photography fall under the heading of department of publications. Other units of the cabinet have been reorganized in a like manner. Clarification Another important point ac¬ complished through the constitu¬ tional revision is the clarification of certain sections of the consti¬ tution. Several changes have been made that will expedite the fun¬ ctioning of ASB government and the duties of the various cabinet members have been clarified.
