Ditch the Gai Meet a Pal At AMS Stag Vol. 32 Pasadena Junior College, January 14, 1940 William Burke Sweeps SB Prexy In Heated Election No. 23 Ken Baker To Play At AMS Stag Check The Wreck Jive-Hounds Swing Out At AMS Stag Jan. 16; Blumberg Publicizes Surpassing all other attempts of the past to give the men a man’s entertainment, the 1941 AMS Stag will be bigger, better than ever before. The entertainment this year will be different from the usual run of the mill. It’s going to be big time stuff, because fellows like Ernie Blumberg, Calvin Swal¬ low, Dick McMoyler, Dave Orswell, Dell Hungerford, and Bill Simons (Board member of the West Campus) are putting all their resources into getting the Presidency Won By Burk Ml . . — most dynamic entertainment this school has ever witnessed. Generally stags were nothing but barbecues in the open, but this year’s amusement lor the men is the easy kind to take. Hollywood stars will leave their domain at the command of the Associated Men Students of Pas¬ adena Junior College to make this one of the most worthwhile endeavors ever attempted for the benefit of the Associated Men Students. Ticket booths are strategical¬ ly placed on the East Camups: At the student union, the corner of the football lockers, and in the main hall. Tickets also may be purchased from these boys: Jack Follis, Ed Waller, and Bob McCarthy. They’ll be ready to hand out tickets, for ten cents, Gab-Fest щт KEN BAKEK of course, as long as they last. No regular fellow wants to be left out. However, there are only 2000 tickets and 400 AMS Mem¬ bers in junior college. Speaking for the board, Ernie said, “We regret the stag cannot accom¬ modate all the men, but those who get their tickets now will be assured seats.” Big entertainment is in store for the fun-loving he-man. Ken¬ ny Baker’s band is going to be there giving out with all they-ve got, with the hottest music this side of the Mississippi, plus the hit tunes of 1940. The men won’t have to worry about the price to pay, what to wear, the thing to do, the girl to take, because there won’t be any girls. This is for men only.! Tolley Diverted; Faculty Fetes College Prexy Although William O. Tolley, president of Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania, came to talk to the delegates of the Association of College Presidents last Wednesday, he also found time to present his views on edu¬ cation to the faculty meeting held that same afternoon. His neoteric angle on education is one respected by educators all through the country. The subject was, “What is General Educa¬ tion?” To the teachers he stated the definition of existence as put by the German philosopher, Herman Lotze: “To be, is to stand in relation.” Then, in his own words, he said, “Life is not sta¬ tic, it’s dynamic. Positions are not fixed, they are relative. Things do not exist in isolation. Existance implies relation to the rest of reality.” Then he went on to explain how Lotze’s definition concern¬ ed education. He said, “This defi¬ nition of Lotze’s suggests that we may learn something about education if we look at the in¬ terplay of relationships in which it is involved. Perhaps the three that are the most important are: 1. The relation to our cultural inheritance. 2. The relation to the contem¬ porary world. 3. The relation to the student himself.

This year’s election, which featured everything from bands and banners to variety shows, was marked by an un¬ usual large number of ballots Bullets Fly ROTC Marksmen Drill For Coming Rifle Matches Terpsichorean PJC Dance Symposium Draws Wide Interest The Southern California Junior Colleges and three col¬ leges sent representatives to Pasadena Saturday to partici¬ pate in PJC’s annual Dance Symposium on the West Campus.

Sponsored by PJC Women’s Physical Education Department, Miss Grace Nossek directing, the 1941 Syposium included mod¬ ern, folk, tap, and social danc¬ ing with dance patterns present¬ ed by girls from the various Southern California schools. Climaxing the day’s activities was a luncheon after which spe¬ cial entertainment was present¬ ed in the Student Union by dance experts Lillie Gutierrez, Lillias Gilbert, and Mary Ewing. In order that they may pre¬ sent a fine showing in the 9th Corp Area rifle matches, the members of PJC’s ROTC unit are now practicing nightly from 2 to 4 o’clock in the unit’s arm¬ ory. Those of the unit who have made a score of 23 points or more out of a possible 25 points are regarded as marksmen. From this group of men, 15 of the best shots will be picked. Further qualifying matches will decide who these men are to be. The 15 picked men are then to be formed into a rifle team which will represent PJC in the com¬ ing rifle matches. There are 84 similar rifle teams against whom PJC will compete. These teams represent such schools as the University of Washington, Cali¬ fornia, Nevada, and Alaska. Al¬ though the universities have se¬ nior ROTC units, the junior units such as at PJC will have an equal chance to carry off top honors. The shooting, having started January 1, will officially be closed February 25. By that time all teams will have mailed in their targets to the headquarters of the Corp Area where they are checked and tabulated. The team captains will send in the 10 best targets of each shooting posi¬ tion. There are four principal po¬ sitions, the prone, sitting, kneel¬ ing, and standing positions. These positions have been stand¬ ardized by the National Rifle As¬ sociation and consequently are in use by riflemen all over the United States. cast. It was estimated by Wayne Fowlie, efficient commissioner of elections, that a little more than 40 per cent of the student body of the combined campuses voted. Last year about 20 per cent voted. Because of a remarkable close¬ ness throughout the race for various offices and the legal de¬ mands of several candidates for a recount, the final tabulations were not made official until late Saturday evening, when Kimiko Fukutaki, member of the elec- Friday, January 17 — Wom¬ en’s Restrictive Inter - Club Council Dance, 8:30 p.m. Saturday, January 18 — Schneeflieger Club Dance, 8:00 p. m.
