Southland Notables Address PJC
Student Spectator
By NOEL B. YOUNG
From all indications, it ap¬
pears that Pasadena Junior Col¬
lege will be compelled to take
up another notch in its belt, to
shelve plans of Easter Week Vol 33. Pasadena Junior College, February 27, 1942 No. 23
sojourns and perhaps even the
hilarity of the annual OMD car¬
nival with already cubby-holed
student union blueprints, cokes
and new tires. The normalcy of
1941, with its extravaganzas of
Catalina, student leaders’ moun¬
tain retreats and lavish year¬
books will repose as memories
for the duration.
. The gravity of our predica¬
ment is permeating our minds
with ever-increasing certain¬
ty, as we see frivolous insti¬
tutions of yesteryear fall by
the wayside. The OMD, in a
meeting last week, pondered
over the traditional carnival,
scheduled for May 15. The De¬
fense Council questioned the
advisability of holding such
an affair in the open. An ag¬
gregate of 5000 persons, with
blazing lights, would court
danger from the air, and suf¬
ficient precautionary meas¬
ures would not be available.
An OMD committee Is investi¬
gating the feasibility of holding
a carnival indoors, perhaps in
a blacked-out gymnasium or
auditorium. At any rate, any
carnival produced this year will
have its limitations. Granted,
the chances are slim that Pasa¬
dena will experience an air raid
May 15, but current events in
dicate that this is no time to be
caught napping.
The Board of Education is
considering abolishing Eiaster
vacation, by bringing the sum¬
mer holidays a week nearer.
A decision is expected to be
rendered soon. Such a plan in
effect will release students for
jobs sooner, and will alleviate
the volume of job-seekers who
usually drop school a week
early. It will, moreover, give
war industries an influx of
trained workers from our
School of Technology sooner,
in a time when every minute
counts.
We overheard someone say
the other day that “no matter
how impending the war peril is,
and no matter how oblivious
my acquaintances are to it all,
and how strongly I realize the
fallacy of their attitude, I with
a lifetime of peace cannot fully
awaken myself INSIDE.”
How many incidents such as
Santa Barbara and Long Beach
will it take to rouse us from
our smug complacancy?
WAA To Hike
At Mount Wilson
Alpine spirited JC coeds will
meet on East Campus tomorrow
morning to begin the WAA
mountain hike. Cars, provided
by the club will transfer the
climbers to the San Gabriel
Canyon. Here the expedition
will start a long climb up the
Mount Wilson trail. The half¬
way point is expected to be
reached by noon, when the
wearied coeds will eat lunch.
Air Raid: Wardens T
о
Meet
Have ASB Cards Stamped
Class air raid wardens are instructed to report today, Friday,
to the auditorium during the period in which they have been ap¬
pointed warden.
The purpose of these meetings is to organize the group
and elect officers. Miss Ida Hawes and EM Davis, executive
chairmen of the PJC Defense Council will outline duties and
responsibilities of each warden. Identification cards will be
stamped with the warden insignia. It is therefore necessary
for all wardens to bring identification cards with them to
the meeting.
Through these meetings, extending throughout the day, the
air raid wardens will become more familiar with their duties and
act accordingly. It is planned that a permanent organization of
air wardens will be set up and officers elected to preside at the
meetings.

for boys.

On Problems
Compulsory or voluntary stu¬
dent identification was the ques¬
tion discussed by the student-
faculty council last Tuesday.
The committee decided to sub¬
mit to the Defense Council a
plan which would allow each
student to choose his own form
of identification with these spe¬
cifications: it must be metal,
and it must have the informa¬
tion upon which the council de
cides. Fiberboard tags were re¬
jected by the council. The ques¬
tion of compulsory wearing of
tags is dependent on School
Board rulings.
Student chairman, Margery
Evans, handed over the gavel to
newly elected faculty chairmon,
Dorothy E. Motsinger, who led
the discussion of an interclass
paper drive. Class will rival
class for the privilege of
“bombing Tokio” first.
according to Miss Ida
Dean of Guidance.

Crosby
Dixie Land Band
Plays At Civic
Bob Crosby, whose Bob Cat
Orchestra is engaged to play
Friday and Saturday nights at
the Pasadena Community dance
is an example of a chap who
could have had all the pull in
the world to further his career
and turned it down.
Brother of Bing Crosby, he
refused to bask in the glory of
this popular singing star of
radio and screen. He climbed
up the hard way and now is a
star in his own right.
His engagements read like
news of the smart set, including
Hotel New Yorker in New York,
the Ritz Carlton in Boston,
Netherlands Plaza in Cincinnati,
Mark Hopkins in San Francisco.
On the radio, his band stepped
into a program spot vacated by
Benny Goodman.
