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

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,

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.!

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.

Election Spirit High
As 40 Per Cent V ote
In a sweeping landslide of 3-1, William Burke, who was
running for a political office for the first time in his life,
defeated Thuel Schuhart, one of the school’s most seasoned
politicians, in the semi-annually held election for ASB presi¬
dent of PJC.
This year’s election, which featured everything from
bands and banners to variety shows, was marked by an un¬
usual large number of ballots

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
