AMS Plans
Blumberg Tells Board
Represenative Systemt
Soft Speaking Ernie Blumberg, during a press confer¬
ence, released the details of a proposed representative sys¬
tem of the AMS Board. This new system would benefit the
men students more than any previous representative system.
The plan would incorporate 40 representatives from the
major groups on the campus. One would be chosen from each
group, except from athletics, which would have a represen¬
tation of two men.
These representatives would
discuss the conference with five,
six, or seven “inside” men who
would then plan in detail the
action taken by the AMS Board.
At present these are the “in¬
side” men: Carl Swallow, Sam
Prichard, Dave Orswell, Dave
Brady, Ed Van Kopp, Bob Mc¬
Carthy, Don Sweet, Del Hunger-
ford, Bill Simons, AMS president
from the West Campus, Ed
Davis, Ernie Blumberg, Jack
Follis, and Frank Bertholet. It
is the above named who do the
“dirty work.” They plan and
make successful, activities of the
AMS. If the new plan goes into
effect, these men will refer the
Board’s decision back to the vari¬
ous groups in school.
The AMS Board is represented
by only the largest groups in
school. These are some of the
most important: Shieldmen, Tri¬
ple J, Student Body Board, Eus-
culapians, Band, Athletics, Arm-
u 1 i t e s, Aviation, Technology,
Magnatura, Freshmen class,
stage crew, and ROTC.
This plan has been experiment¬
ed with and has been found effi¬
cient. The present associate pres¬
ident of the East Campus, Ernie
Blumberg, expresses his wish
that, “In the spring the incom¬
ing AMS President will be able
to put this idea into effect.”
Criticisms Asked
Of Music Hour
“Criticisms of the various mu¬
sical hours held each week,
should be slipped into the
Chronicle post-box near the Stu¬
dent Union,” commented Dave
Brady, Secretary of Music. “I
would like student opinions on
these programs so that the sec¬
retary to-be will have a line of
action at the first of the semes¬
ter.”
Have you enjoyed the popular
music hour? Would you like to
have selections discussed more?
Were the organ recitals by Fred
Carpenter interesting? What
types of music do you prefer?
Would you like to assist with
these programs? Any sugges¬
tions of improvements of already
established programs or new.
ideas should be put in the box.
These will be considered and as
many suggestions as possible
will be introduced into the music
plans for next semester.

Law Enforcement
JC Criminal Code
Stressed In Drive
By Lancers
Next week the Lancers will
start a law enforcement drive,
clamping down on offenders
with whom they were formerly
lenient. Most particularly will
tickets be given to those who
scatter papers during lunch time.
There have been many com¬
plaints about the papers that lit¬
tered the ground near the cafe¬
teria and the swimming pool.
Anyone found guilty of throw¬
ing papers around the campus
will be fined from fifty cents to
two dollars, or will have to work
for one to four hours, or both.
Wayne Fowlie, Lancer chief,
asks student cooperation in pre¬
vention of all types of offences
against the PJC criminal code.
First objective of the Lancers,
like any other law enforcement
agency, is to prevent crime. Only
secondary in importance is the
idea of punishing the criminal.
With this drive the Lancers
are attempting to set a prece¬
dent for the new Lancer mem¬
bers, who will be carefully
chosen. The Lancer Membership
Committee, whose job it is to
choose the new members for
next semester, will question stu¬
dents as well as instructors in
order to find the men who are
best qualified to be Lancers. One
of the necessary qualifications of
a Lancer is that he be well liked
by the students. Only by ques¬
tioning the students themselves
can it be determined whether a
candidate is popular.
Weather Forces
Biology Trip
Cancellation
That highly important phase
of our everyday life, the weath¬
er, forced Paul Motsinger’s Bi¬
ology excursion from an inter¬
esting trip to the beach to a
round trip of the five museums
and education institutions which
have ranked Southern California
high in cultural advantages.
The class visited the La Brea
Pits, Cal Tech, City Schools Mu¬
seum, the new Hancock Mu¬
seum, and were most interested
by the South African specimens
at the Los Angeles Museum.
Their main objective was to learn
how fossils are preserved and
mounted.
Following an annual custom
among Survey of Science classes,
Paul Motsinger took his West
Campus classes on their yearly
rounds of the culturally interest¬
ing parts of Los Angeles County.
They visited Cal Tech, Devils
Gate Dam, and the geological
phenomenon of Eagle Rock.
They were interested in solv¬
ing the greatest mystery of to¬
day, the marvels of natural phe-
nonena. Such things as rock for¬
mations and the different layers
and types of rocks in these struc¬
tures were discussed on the ex¬
cursion. Members of the class
are now looking forward to next
year’s trip.

Author
PJC Counselor
Writes Book
On Curriculum
Henry Irving Weitzel, PJC
counselor, is the author of the
recently published book, “The
Curriculum Classification of Ju¬
nior College Students.” It is the
report of his extensive study of
the curriculum of Pasadena Ju¬
nior College and what it has to
offer.
Criticism of the present cur¬
riculum is based on the fact that
junior colleges only prepare stu¬
dents for higher education. Those
who wish to go directly into
trades after leaving junior col¬
lege rather than attending uni¬
versities do not have sufficient
training for semi-professional
jobs.
Junior colleges, the book
stresses, should develop the aims
of preparation both for semi-
professional work and prefers
higher education.
Dr. Weitzel’s report in book¬
let form may be borrowed from
the United States Office of Edu¬
cation, Washington, D. C. It is
also available through inter-li¬
brary loan from library of the
University of California at Los
Angeles.
Vasquez Tops
Sales Brawl,
Wins Watch
Following weeks of keen com¬
petition, salesmen of the book¬
store, consisting of business stu¬
dents, have completed their semi¬
annual sales contest. Started sev¬
en years ago in the interest of
boosting sales, it has become of
keen interest to the sales staff.
Awards for the best salesman¬
ship were given out at a ban¬
quet held at Eaton’s on the eve¬
ning of December 27, 1940.
Most sales points were gained
by Roland Vasquez, who had a
total of 135%, for which he was
presented with a Walton wrist
watch.
A pair of ice skates went to
Bob Johnson as second prize.
Student managers Bob Adler and
Tim Harrison received third and
fourth prizes, respectively, which
were a Shaffer fountain pen and
a leather zipper-binder.
The silver book store salesman¬
ship honor keys were presented
by Mr. Holger to Bod Adler, Jim
Tolan, Joe Baker, Tim Harrison,
Arlene Hern, and Bob Johnson.
Rose Parade Queen
Still Hard At Work
Yesterday was another occa¬
sion of honor for the Queen of
the Tournament of Roses and
her court.
The event was a silver tea,
held in the East Campus Social
Hall. The queen and her court
received the public from two un¬
til five, while a silver offering
was taken for the welfare fund.
The affair was under the aus¬
pices of both the AWS and the
Patron’s Association.
Many unusual and smart outfits
are promised. This show will
definitely interest the men, as
many of the snow costumes
shown will be for men. Jimmie
Fredericks, president of the for¬
mer Schneefliegers, will com¬
ment on and explain each model.
Following the fashion show,
Celeste Clauser will perform a
peasant dance to provide a mu¬
sical and terpsichorean inter¬
lude. Celeste will be remember¬
ed for her dancing on programs
with the Bulldog Band and other
musical groups. A second mu¬
sical attraction will be some ac¬
cordion selections which will be
rendered by Bob Alcoe, an ac¬
cordionist of no small note.
Rounding out the program will
be a group of three motion pic¬
ture shorts. These pictures will
be shown through the courtesy
of the Union Pacific railroad.
They will present scenes at Sun
Valley, Idaho, and views of most
of the winter sports; skiing,
skating, sledding, etc. Also some
instruction in the art of skiing.
Primary reason for the as¬
sembly will be to arouse inter¬
est in winter sports, and show
how much fun in the snow can
be had by Southern Californians.
Annually the Winter Sports Club
takes over and produces an as¬
sembly. This year’s show will
be outstanding because the pro¬
gram features the club mem¬
bers themselves.
PJC Unique Choir
Takes to Air
Last Wednesday evening on
KPPC at 7:30, the verse-speaking
choir, under the direction of Miss
Elizabeth Keppie, presented a
timely program. Among their se¬
lections were, “Salutation to
the Dawn,” “God of the Open
Air,” and “Abraham Lincoln
Walks at Midnight.”
The choir is well-known here
for assembly performances, and
often recites for churches and
clubs.
“The purpose of the verse-
speaking choir,” says Miss Kep¬
pie, “is to improve speech and
vocal abilities, and to give the
students a chance of expressing
to others, by means of poetry,
what they have learned.”
