ттШ:
By Evelyn W. Smith
When the problem of housing
junior college students, now at¬
tending school in safe buildings,
except in case of major earchquake,
came up before the faculty meet¬
ing last Wednesday, John A.
Sexson, superintendent of schools,
explained that the public had to
help finance the rebuilding pro¬
gram. He also declared
“Тле
peo¬
ple of Pasadena have never made
an investment in buildings, for the
present buildings were inherited
from the high school.”
Either new buildings or repair of
the old buildings were considered
necessary for the future education
of students. Rumors of re-vote on
the bond issue aroused questions
such as: Would not the public be
better satisfied in seeing new and
safe buildings constructed instead
of allowing old buildings to be re¬
paired? Is not the expenditure of
tent classrooms rather a high rate
of interest to pay for the repair of
old buildings? Mr. Sexson declared
that the board could not answer
these questions, but that some sug¬
gestions could be given.
Quaku Peri!
In connection with this discus¬
sion the superintendent stated,
“The buildings are not condemned,
but are considered unsafe by state
engineers for students, only in J
event of a major tremblor.”
He went on to say that the
school board could not force
students to attend school and
also, that the board did not want
to be responsible for accidents or
deaths due to collapse of build¬
ings in case of another earth¬
quake.
Immediate construction of tents
for classrooms is the only legal
matter in which the bo»ard can meet
the present emergency, it is re¬
ported. As fast as tents are con¬
structed, the wings of the Horace
Mann building will be vacated.
Other classrooms, offices, cafeteria
and library will be moved, as soon
as possible.
Problem Stressed
The problem of whether students
really want to go to school was
stressed when the superintendent
declared that better school spirit
had to be expressed if students
intended to continue their educa¬
tion. He also pointed out Pasa¬
dena’s position as an educational
center — one reason because of the
junior college curricula.
In closing, Mr. Sexson stressed
that the problem was of immedi¬
ate importance, and that the board
was doing everything possible to
relieve the present situation.

Student Heads
Seniors and sophomores are to
make their own appointments for
“Campus” photos .at window three
in the Records office during 4th,
5th and 6th periods daily.
This arrangement was made in¬
stead of sending the appointments
from Mrs. White’s office, as before,
because of the lack of co-operation
on the part of the students in
coming to the “Campus” office and
having their appointments changed
when necessary, according to Dick
Dewey, editor-in-chief of the year¬
book.
LAMBERT WESTLING
Student body president, who will
preside over the convention of
Southern California junior col¬
lege student body presidents in
this city tomorow. A wide pro¬
gram has been arranged for the
delegates.

New Vo-Mag
Student Magazine Makes
Appearance With
40 Pages
Additional proof of student abil¬
ity and talent was in evidence yes¬
terday when “Vo-Mag,” a repre¬
sentative student magazine, made
its initial appearance on the cam¬
pus.
Started last year as a small
brochure intended to inform and
advise stud.ents as to the vocations
and professions they wished to fol¬
low, the new “Vo-Mag” was pre¬
pared under the direction of Miss
Ida E. Hawes, dean of guidance.
The list of public figures who
contributed interviews or person¬
ally written articles includes:
Edwin Markham, who wrote “The
Man With the Hoe”; Judge Ben
Lindsey, authority on social re¬
lation; Dr. Thomas Hunt Mor¬
gan, latest Nobei prize winner;
Dr. Robert Millikan, famed
scientist; William L. Blair, man¬
aging editor of the Pasadena
Post; Harry Chandler, publisher
of the Los Angeles Times; Carl
Moon, noted Pasadena author and
artist, and R.eba Crawford
Splivalo, California Welfare head.
Every effort has been put forth
to make the magazine modem, dif¬
ferent, and attractive. A tri¬
color cover has been used in place
of the common black and white
cover. New type was especially
ordered from the east; there is
none other like it in California.
Representative of the best yout!
of today, student leaders of 11
Southern California junior college:
will gather in Pasadena tomorrov
for the semi-annual convention o.
student body presidents.
“Approximately 50 delegates will
attend accompanied by a faculty
adviser,” declared Lambert West-
ling, acting president of the con¬
vention. Advisers will attend
meetings under the chairmanship
of J. P. O’Mara, official faculty
host and dean of men.
C'haffey, Citrus, Compton,
Fullerton, Lancaster, Long
Beach, Pasadena, Pomona, Riv¬
erside, San Diego Army and
Navy Academy, San Bernardino,
Santa Ana, Santa Monica and
Ventura junior colleges will send
representatives to the conclave
of both western and eastern di¬
visions of the organization.
Session in Auditorium
Plans for the entertainment and
business activities of the guests
will start with an early registra¬
tion in the lobby of the Civic audi¬
torium followed by a general ses¬
sion in the same building. Pasa-
! dena, acting as president, will be
represented by W estling in this
| meeting.

Miss Margaret Husson, of the
Spanish department at Pomona
college, will be guest speakers in
the music hall this morning in the
second of a series of four programs
to be presented by the foreign
language department this year.
Mr. Crespo, well known inter¬
preter of the role of “Don Juan”
on the Spanish stage, and at pres¬
ent adviser to the Fox studio’s
staff in Hollywood, is to give dra¬
matic recitations based on the
“Alhambra” and “Granada.”
Miss Husson, who recently re¬
turned from a year’s scholarship
sojourn in Spain, will speak on
conditions and aspects of the pres¬
ent Spanish republic. She will also
tell of interviews with many of the
I present political and literary lead-
! ers in the Hispanic peninsula.
The program is under the super¬
vision of Miss M. E. Davis, Span-
J ish instructor.
The next program, which will
feature French entertainment un-
1 der the direction of Miss Edna B.
| Eckersley, will take place in March.
Following that, a German pro¬
gram, supervised by E. E. Sauer,
will be presented in May.
