No. 15
Sexson’s
Proposal
Approved
Board Passes Suggestion
To Publish Report
On Schools
Superintendent of City Schools
John A. Sexson’s suggestion that
an “annual report on the schools’
conditions,” such as was prepared
for a number of years, was app¬
roved by the Board of Education
at its last weekly meeting. The
last report of this nature was pub¬
lished two years ago, outlining spe¬
cific school conditions during the
depression.
“We are just about to complete
an extensive program of rehabili¬
tation of our public school build¬
ings,” stated Dr. Sexson. “This
project should be written up in de¬
tail and should be preserved as
one of the records of the district
for future reference.”
According to the superintendent,
the renort should be ready for the
press in the fall of the school year
1936-36, and should include the
years which have elapsed since the
last report and the present year.
He advises that public relations
be taken up in a section covering
the voting of the bonds, and the
program of finances which has per¬
mitted the schools to operate, and
that the second part of the report
should deal with “ personnel. ”
This would make a critical evalua¬
tion of what has happened to the
personnel under the single salary
schedule. The third part of the
program could deal with the revi¬
sion of the curriculum in the light
of the progressive viewpoint.
Two other parts of the program
could deal with “outcomes of the
present program,” appraising them
at all levels, and the rehabilitation
program including technical de¬
scriptions of what has happened
to the buildings, believes Dr. Sex-
son.
Superintendent Sexson said that
the final chapter could deal with
the statistical data which has been
kept for many years, and which
ought to be brought up to date at
this time.

Officers At Meeting
At “Bulldogger”
To give to the other members
of this campus ‘Y’ a brief insight

stall the newly elected olficers, of
which, besides Lief, are Miiton

Bridge Lures Men
Potlatchers, otherwise known as
the men of the junior college fac¬
ulty, are holding their next meet¬
ing for Thursday, January 24, ac¬
cording to “Chief” Cecil C. Stewart.
Something new in the nature of
the meetings is being introduced
with this conclave, the members
mingling over card tables for their
social diversion. Dr. Henry I.
Weitzel has invited the men to his
home for an evening of informal
frivolity, the most serious of which
will be to discover whether the de¬
votees of Culbertson are superior
to those of Lenz, Work, et al.
Members of the faculty are re¬
quested to notify Mr. Stewart by
n~::t Tuesday if they intend to be
present.
Offers Thanks
Accept my hearty thanks for
the grand cooperation and en¬
thusiasm you have given your
officers this semester! Despite
our trials and tribulations this
term, our “tent-city campus” has
continued to sparkle with many
activities. It was hard at first to
become adjusted to rigid econ¬
omy, but we soon realized that
we could put on assemblies, par¬
ties and dances just as worth
while and entertaining with much
less expense than we had been
accustomed to previously.
I hope that every one of you
can say that you have enjoyed
ail the events of this school term
as much as your officers have en¬
joyed planning them for you.
Let us remember as we end
this semester and start a new
one that “nothing worth while
is ever attained without enthusi¬
asm,” and let’s make this year
an outstanding and very pleas¬
ant year to remember always!

Election Friday As Over 700 Votes Are Cast;
Pass 3 Constitutional Amendments
Reversing precedents set by former balloting, final elec¬

School Law
Enforced In
Parking Lot
Terminating the sixth week of
an intensive drive to eliminate cer¬
tain disturbances in and around
the parking lot, the Lancers, men’s
service organization, report that
the objectionable practices have
been much reduced. According to
“Scotty” MacDonald, head of the
parking lot law enforcement de¬
tail, smoking on the campus has
been almost totally discontinued,
while a proportionate decrease in
other offenses such as playing of
radios, profanity, gambling, neck¬
ing and reckless driving has been
secured.
The only offense which has
shown little decrease is incorrect
parking. “Scotty” and his assist¬
ants, Joe Kievit and James Wright,
plan a concerted campaign to re¬
duce the number of violations of
this law.
On the whole, the students have
shown a desire to cooperate with
parking lot police, but a few viola¬
tors have shown a consistent dis¬
regard for the several simple rules.
It is the policy of those in charge
of policing the lot to warn an of¬
fender once, and if the warning is
not heeded, to give tickets. A stu¬
dent receiving one of these tickets
must then report to the student
court the following Friday morn¬
ing during club period for sen¬
tence. Violators who are brought
before this court are liable to a
cash fine, or in severe cases, to
suspension from school.

'You, Year Is
TopicOf Talk
“You and the Next Year” is to
be the challenge given by Walter
Griffith, formerly of the University
of Washington, to the group gath¬
ered for Friday morning meeting
of the Student Peace union, in tent
39, during club period,
Eleanor Thompson will give a
report of the collegians’ conference
held at Asilomar during the Christ¬
mas holidays. Her report is to
especially stress the theme of
“What the Student Suggests in the
Efforts of Peace.”
proposed by the present board of
representatives were passed by an
overwhelming majority.
In the race for president of
the junior class, Eloise Jones
and McCullough received en¬
dorsement in the primaries. 124
votes and 99 votes were received
by the winner and runner-up, re¬
spectively.
In precinct 1, A-C, Jones gar¬
nered 34 and McCullough 24. 31
ballots apiece were cast in precinct
2, D-J, while McCullough took the
lead in the third section, K-R, with
42 to 26 votes. The fourth poll,
S-Z, again found the winner in the
lead with 20 to 15 votes.
Chief justice balloting was more
decided as Gardner received 415
student approval slips to Alfred
Einstein’s 273. Gardner led in all
precincts. Poll 1, A-C, found him
leading with 88 to 51, while in Pre¬
cinct 2, D-J, a bigger lead was
piled up with 131 to 76 votes being
cast in favor of Gardner. Precinct
3, K-R, shows decisive victory as
130 votes for Gardner and 81 for
Einstein were cast. In Poll 4, S-Z,
the next chief justice led by only
one ballot as results show 66 to 65
votes were polled.
The board of representatives
asked the student body to approve
amendments to Article VIII and
Article IX of the associated stu¬
dent body constitution. Article
VIII provides for the cabinet to
consist of the secretaries of activi¬
ties, athletics, finance, oral arts,
publications, records and social af¬
fairs. The amendments provide
that a secretary of public relations
and a secretary of publicity be add¬
ed to the cabinet.
Article IX in the unamended
constitution provided for the duties
and responsibilities of each cabi¬
net position. Amendments show
that the department of public re¬
lations shall be composed of the
secretary of public relations and
his assistants. It shall foster the
public’s understanding of and good
will towards the associated stu¬
dents.
The chairmanship of publicity
created last year has become a sec¬
retaryship also. “The department
of publicity shall be composed of
the secretary of publicity and his
assistants. It shall be responsible
for all publicity of the associated
students which shall appear on the
campus with exception of that gov¬
erned by Article IX, Section 5,”
reads the amendment.
Section 5 states that the depart¬
ment of publications shall be com¬
posed of the secretary of publica¬
tions and his assistants. It shall
be responsible for the newspaper,
the annual and all other associated
students’ publications. It shall be
responsible for all publicity appear¬
ing in these publications. This de¬
partment was formerly in charge
of all publicity.
Bill Lawson, chief justice, warns
students wishing to run for both
appointive and class offices that
activity cards are not available at
the present time. Grades will
have to be turned in as usual, but
they will be accepted on ordinary
paper. See Lawson in the student
body office for further details.
Drama Stars
Are Honored
Formal initiation into Delta Psi
Omega, upper division honorary
dramatic fraternity, will be held
on the evening of January 18 at
the home of Miss Elizabeth Flint,
honorary member of Players’
Guild, upper division drama group.
Mary Lou Perry, Kay West,
Nancie Allen, Helene Neubrand,
Don Neeley and Don Mansfield will
be initiated because of outstanding
work in dramatics they have
shown this semester in the Guild
play, “The Passing of the Third
Floor Back.”
Miss Elizabeth E. ICepple, ad¬
viser of Delta Psi Omega and
Players’ Guild, will officiate, aided
by Hadley Eliker, president, and
Andrew Carnahan, secretary-treas¬
urer. According to Miss Keppie all
alumni of Delta Psi are invited to
attend the ceremonies.
Norbert Bundschuh, Nancie Allan
and Hadley Eliker, members of
the group, are at present working
on a play for future radio presen¬
tation.
New Chief
I desire to thank the individu¬
als who made the attainment of
this office a reality and wish
each and every one of you suc¬
cess in the coming semester.
The attempts of this office
along with your cooperation, will
be bent toward making P. J. C.
a more friendly institution for
gaining knowledge as well as
one for social expressions.
1 should like you to feel that
the office of president of this
system is something more than
an inactive sanctum with a fig¬
urehead sitting at the desk. It is
created for the betterment of
conditions among students and
about the campus. The only way
I can see that such objectives
can be accomplished is by your
taking an active interest in the
student body and offering your
comments or criticisms freely.
I have only praise for the effi¬
cient and friendly manner in
which Eleanor has conducted the
business affairs of the student
body and offer my sincere wishes
to her in any undertaking in
which she might participate at
some future date.

AMS-AWS
Hold Joint
Gathering
Capacity Crowd Receives
Dual Attraction Bill
On Rainy Day
With old Jupiter Pluvius once
again showering his wrath on the
Friday assembly programs, the A.
M. S. and A. W. S. meetings last
week were of necessity brought
under “one big roof” in the men’s
gym. A capacity crowd turned out
for the program, with each group
putting a scheduled 45 minutes of
entertainment in half of that time.
Cutting short its scheduled
program, the A. W. S. presented
George Besselo, who sang “One
Night of Love.” A trio composed
of Treva Scott, Beth Lamb and
Ruth Hawgood, gave three vocal
selections.
As a part of their business meet¬
ing an amendment stating that
class representatives to the A. W.
S. cabinet should be elected at the
beginning of each semester instead
of once a year as has been the
custom, was voted upon and car¬
ried.
The A. M. S. meeting, which
followed the A. W. S. affair, fea¬
tured short talks by Ted Brod-
head, graduate manager of ath¬
letics at Occidental, and Eugene
Nixon, football coach of Pomona
college.
After briefly outlining the work
of a graduate manager, Brodhead,
for the benefit of Mr. Nixon, took
up the Pomona-Occidental football
rivalry of some 40 years’ standing,
explaining thoroughly the humilia¬
tion of the Sagehens last fall by
the Eagle Rock eleven.
Coach Nixon brought attention
to the recent trend in collegiate
football, deploring the psychology
that “every game must be won at
all costs” as the breeder of de¬
grading proselyting activities.
An added feature of the program
was the appearance of the Bulldog
band, under the direction of Audre
L. Stong, which offered a medley
of popular numbers.
