Robert Gros
Talks on War
Robert R. Gros, lecturer, inter¬
viewer, and publicist will speak
on, “American War Time Lead¬
ers,” Tuesday, January 11, from
8:00 until 10:00 p. m. in the Sex-
son Auditorium.
Mr. Gros, who delighted the
forum audience last year with
his vivid characterizations of
prominent Americans, returns
to discuss the leaders of our
national war effort. Mr. Gros’
field is contemporary American
politics and government predi¬
cated upon constant trips to
Washington and interviews
with American leaders of pub¬
lic thought.
He has had personal interviews
with most of the prominent lead¬
ers in Washington — President
Roosevelt, Cordell Hull, Herbert
Hoover, Wendell Wilkie, Chief of
Staff George Marshall, J. Edgar
Hoover, Thomas Dewey, Jesse
Jones and numerous others —
cabinet members, administrative
and congressional leaders, labor-
ites, and industrialists, diplomats
and military men.
As a personal guest of the
authors of, “Washington Merry-
Go-Round,” he has sat in on
many official press conferences,
and congressional sessions. All
this has given him a realistic
understanding of American
leadership and problems in the
war crisis.
Tuesday Evening Forum Ser¬
ies are sponsored by the Patrons’
Association of Pasadena Junior
College, and are attended by 1000
to 2000 people from Pasadena and
neighboring towns.
Leaders , Faculty
In Second Party
Dr. Harbeson presided at an
administration staff and student
officer meeting held Thursday
afternoon, January 6. Each se¬
mester staff members and stu¬
dent officers meet twice in order
to discuss student and faculty
problems and to attempt to solve
these problems.
In the past the meeting has
been preceded by a dinner, but
due to war time scarcities yester¬
day’s meeting was held in the
afternoon.
Student officers and leaders on
the campus were present, and
under the leadership of Dr. Har¬
beson, various problems and new
ideas were presented to the
group.
These discussions do much to
bring about a closer relationship
between faculty members and
students. A better understanding
is promoted between the two fac¬
tions and intelligent solutions to
difficulties may be carried out
with ease and facility.
Spring Elections Enfold Campus;
ASB, AMS, AWS Finals Today
In today’s primary elections, the more than 3000 Pasadena
Junior College students will be afforded the opportunity to
exercise their democratic rights today as the three major
elective offices at PJC go on the block. A combination of three
factors are counted upon to improve the normal 30 per
cent voting rate. Associated Student Body president, AMS
president, and AWS president will be decided in today’s bal-

MRICC Plans
Future Bidding
At a well-attended meeting last
Tuesday, MRICC members
thrashed out important issues
mostly deciding the future of
men’s restrictive clubs at PJC.
Dean of Men Audre L. Stong in¬
troduced the idea of abolishing
men’s clubs for the duration, but
a fiery protest sprang from the
assembled group and a motion
was passed unanimously that
men’s riccy clubs would remain
on campus as long as PJC males
maintained an interest in them.
Byron Beach, MRICC prexy,
left recently to join forces with
Uncle Sam, and necessitated the
election of new officers for the
remainder of the semester.
Skippy Whitmore (MGS) was
named president, Allen McLeod
(Pegasus) chosen vice-president
and Jim Kay (Amphion) the
new secretary.
Whitmore’s first official duty
was to set the rules, governing
the rushing and pledging for next
semester. The rushing season, as
approved by the council, will be¬
gin on January 21, with the cul¬
mination coming on Friday, Feb¬
ruary 4, when bids are issued
through the Dean of Men’s office.
A maximum of four weeks of
pledging will follow.
loting. The Senior class, with a
hotly contested tri-cornered race
for Senior prexy in the offing,
has sent postcards to each class
member this week as a voting
reminder, and has established a
special Senior voting booth in
front of the Sexson Auditorium.
This morning’s elections as¬
sembly, presided over jointly by
Secretary of Activities Mary Jane
Garter and Elections Commission¬
er Betty Lou Joslyn, is the lone
means by which member's of tire
student body will get a chance to
personally meet the candidates.
Commissioner Joslyn, with an
eye to the voting percentage, has
announced a $25 prize to the larg¬
est class vote representation.
Heading the ballot is an ex¬
pected close tussle for prexy
between Bill Sanborn and
Wayne Untereiner. Sanborn, .a
Lancer and a leader in student
body affairs for the past two
years, is applying the finishing
touches on his second Crafty
Hall which will be presented
under the auspices of the Order
of Mast and Dagger in the Jan¬
uary 27 assembly, and is the
creator of the campus hero,
Murgatroid. Untereiner, the first
ASB prexy candidate from the
lower division in many years,
has served as Sophomore class
president this past semester
after having run unopposed in
last June’s elections.
Candidates for other student
body offices are: ASB Vice-Presi¬
dent — Loren Barre, Marilyn Logs¬
don, Marjorie Otte, Betty Steg-
ner; AWS 1st Vice-president —
Betty Lund; AWS 2nd Vic^-presi-
dent — Julianne Burtt and Flor*

Sophs Announce
Boyer Orchestra
Sponsoring an open informal
dance Friday, January 21, at the
Pasadena Athletic Club, sopho¬
mores plan to have La Verne
Boyer and his band providing the
music. Bids, which will soon be
on sale at the Triton Booth and
other convenient spots around the
campus, will sell for 90 cents
per couple including tax.
The Activities Committee
emphasises the fact that this
dance will definitely be open to
all PJC students, and also that
it takes place at the end of
finals week.
In order to aid in the assimi¬
lation of new students entering
Pasadena Junior College, the
Sophomore Class has extended an
invitation to all tenth grade stu¬
dents of the Junior High Schools
who wish to attend.
The committee hopes that, be¬
cause of the junior high partici¬
pation, it may prove a solution
to the financial problem of put¬
ting JC dances on their former
paying basis. In addition, this
dance is planned as another mani¬
festation of the traditional PJC
spirit of friendship toward new
students.
DELTA PSI WANTS MEN
There are openings now for
unknown students in the annual
Delta Psi Omega play. Men es¬
pecially are in demand. Any stu¬
dent from the upper division
who would like to try out is asked
to put a note in Miss Keppie’s box
or see her in room 160C.
New Tabloid
For Duration
Jumping the gun on an already
planned action for next semester,
the Chronicle this week has been
run off the press in tabloid form,
a slightly smaller size than the
normal four page journal. The
four page tabloid seems set for
the duration, both because of the
ease in which it can be handled
on the journalistic side, and the
relief it affords an already
swamped printshop that at pres¬
ent is operating without a press¬
man.
Main advantage between the
tabloid and regular jumbo-sized
edition comes in the make-up.
The tabloid features more and
shorter stories with smaller,
more concise heads. No changes
are being anticipated in the
editorial staff.
Red Cross Forms
Policy For 1944
With the beginning of the New
Year, Junior College Red Cross
Activities are being sped up.
Plans have been made to include
every member in the student
body, who is interested in Red
Cross, in at least one field of
work. The Surgical Dressing Unit,
one of the most important ac¬
tivities carried on, has sent out
an urgent plea for students to
assist in making bandages.
The Surgical Dressing depart¬
ment is one of high importance.
Their quota, in the past, has been
5,000 bandages per month. The
new quota for this year has not,
as yet, been established. On Tues¬
day, Wednesday, and Thursday
from 11 to 4, the workroom, 2D,
is open for those who wish to
help. The hours have been ar¬
ranged in order that all students
may give some of their time.
Service points are given as well
as a Red Cross pin upon comple¬
tion of 100 hours work. These
bandages are used in the various
service hospitals in the country
and many of them are sent over¬
seas, where there is always a
great demand.
Elizabeth Rossback, chairman
of the Surgical Dressing depart¬
ment may be found in 2D on the
previously mentioned days and
will gladly explain the nature of
this work to any who may wish
to render service.
