No. 15
Plans For
'Tent City’
Are Made
Housing Construction will
Begin Soon; Ideas
Considered
With experience of other schools
of Southern California by which to
profit, construction of tents to
house Pasadena junior college stu¬
dents will begin soon.
No classes will be held in either
the women’s or men’s gyms. “These
buildings are in good condition and
there is nothing to be gained by in¬
terfering with the work of the de¬
partments which would not other
wise be affected,” said Dr. John W.
Harbeson, principal.
Many phases of the problem are
yet unsettled, but according to
present plans tents will probably
not be erected behind the wo¬
men’s gym. This area would be
sufficient for a considerable num¬
ber of tents, but is not a favored
location because of its distance
from the heat supply, the boiler
house.
Tents might be erected either on
the ground now utilized as parking
lots or on the girl’s hockey field. In
the former case, parking lots would
be moved, to the practice football
field; in the latter case, parking
lots would be unchanged.
No tents will be built around
the flagpole in front of the Hor¬
ace Mann building. Drainage
problems prohibit the construction
of tents in the lower central part
of the ground there; noise from
Colorado street would make study
impossible in such buildings be¬
yond half the distance from Hor¬
ace Mann building to the street.
Probably 12 or 14 tents will be
erected on the outside edge of the
ground and extending toward the
street as far as the flagpole.
Numbers of tents required are
not yet known, but the total is ex¬
pected to reach 50 or more. The
possible lengthening of the school
d.ay so that first and sixth periods
are as fully attended as the other
periods, may be necessary or pos¬
sible. A change such as this would
have a bearing on the number of
tents needed.
The entire basement of the build¬
ing will not be moved. Futhermore,
all rooms, including the suite of
offices along the north side of this
building, except the auditorium, will
be used.
Every effort will be expended
to make the temporary structures
comfortable; attending tent
schools will not be injurious to
health. The tents will be steam
heated and have board floors; the
ventilation system includes win¬
dows on the sides of the tents.
Dimensions are 22 feet by 30
feet, larger than the majority of
present class rooms. A large port¬
able blackboard, instructor’s desk
and chairs will be in each tent.
Dangers of poor drainage will be
eliminated, for each tent will be
raised one foot from the ground,
and three foot boarding on sides of
the tents will eliminate possibilities
of drafts. The use of a colored
canvas is being considered as a
preventive» for unnecessary eye
strain from the glare of white
canvas.
r Subject A'
Exam Near
The Subject A examination
will be given on Saturday morn¬
ing, February 3, from 9 to 12.
This examination is required of
all students entering the junior
year of Pasadena junior college.
A fee of 50 cents will be charged.
Students taking the examina¬
tion must present a slip certify¬
ing that t/ey are graduates of
the lower division. These slips
must be obtained from window 1
of the records office before 4 p. m.
on Friday, February 2.
On account of the great num¬
ber taking the examination, stu¬
dents are requested to report
shortly after 8 o’clock. The ex¬
amination begins promptly at 9
a. m., and no late students will
be admitted.
Thurstone psychological exami¬
nation 'is also required of all1 stu¬
dents entering the junior year.
This examination will be given in
the girls' gymnasium at 1 o’clock
on the afternoon of Saturday,
February 3. A fee of one dollar
will be charged. No additional
slips will be necessary.

Lou Traveller’s Orchestra
To Feature Last of
Weekly Meets
Club Officials
With a toot of .a piccolo, or per¬
haps the wheeze of a lazy saxo¬
phone, Lou Traveller and, his or¬
chestra, well known in Southern
California dancing circles, and a
frequent entertainer at the Civic
auditorium, will make their P.J.C.
debut at this morning’s assembly.
Amid this modern syncopation,
the fantastical curtain will fall on
the first series of bleacher assem¬
blies, presented to the student body
throughout the semester.
Opening the Friday morning
“breathing spells,” at the stroke
of ten, September 13, inaugu¬
rated the group of Horrell field
j programs in place of the defunct
j auditorium, with a program by
. Mast and Dagger, honorary ser-
| vice organisation. Next came the
j Lancers’ pep rally, stirring up
: spirit for Field Day, the after-
: noon of October 6. Yefil leaders
were also put to the test, aided
by the Bulldog band.
Though interrupted by test
weeks, and varied by A. M. S., A.
I W. S. meetings and class confabs,
j the series continues with a program
of the music department offering
I yodelers and puppets, and. the Ar¬
mistice Day parade of November
10, the largest of its kind ever
j staged at P. J. C. amid flags and
noisy celebrations.
Thanksgiving time brought
Gene Quaw’s orchestra, and De¬
cember 15 featured the all-school
production, “After the Bell Had
Rung,” the first “melodrama” of
jaysee’s outdoor stage.
Climaxing the fresh-air continu¬
ity, the local R.
О.
T. C. copped
the January 12 program with the
annual mid-winter review in which
honorary co-ed commissions were
awarded.
All assemblies were under the
direction of James Williams, sec¬
retary of activities.
Primary .elections for 11 impor¬
tant junior college student body of¬
fices were run off Wednesday with
several surprising upsets occurring
side by side with a number of con¬
tests which ran true to form.
A total of 1542 ballots were cast,
slightly more than 38 per cent of
the total junior college registration.
Four contests were decided outright
and, seven others go into today’s
finals.
In the race for the student
body presidency, with three of¬
fice-holders and one “dark horse”
running, President Lambert Wes-
tling entered the finals with Rob¬
ert Simpson, present senior
class leader. Surprising was the
unexpected elimination of Vin¬
cent Fite, A. M. S. president,
Who was one of the original fav¬
orites. Frank Wilby was also put
out of the race. Westling polled
528 votes to Simpson’s 443, Fite’s
356, and Wilby’s 215.
Another surprise occurred, in the
contest for A. M. S. president, in

two-candidate races, Pauline Ste¬
vens, secretary of oral arts, win¬
ning by a large majority over
Patricia Elston. The vote was
431 to 273. For secretary, Mar¬
jorie Betts won by a 90-vote maj¬
ority over Josephine Paulson, 395

than the combined total of Mar¬
jorie Bettanier .and, Kathleen Cart¬
wright, who had 183 and 168, re¬

Representatives
The freshman class will meet for
the last time this semester, on Feb¬
ruary 2, in the women’s gymna¬
sium, with a varied program being
arranged for entertainment.
A constitution for the class has
been drawn up, with Patricia

ment and will submit it to the
class council at its meeting, the
first of next week, for approval
and adoption.
The election of new class officers
has been delayed, and will be held
in the first meeting of the new se¬

dramatics classes. Jane Hazen-
bush, Steve Barber and Jack
Goodell are in charge of the en¬
tertainment.

given in the Crystal ballroom of
the Huntington hotel, on November
4, with Manny Harmon and his or¬
chestra, furnishing the music; class
meetings held on September 29, n
which class officers were elected;
and on November 17, when a pro¬
gram of varied entertainment was
given.
Student body officers for the
second semester were to be elected
today from 14 candidates selected
in the primaries Wednesday for
seven positions.
Chief position to be voted on was
the student body presidency, in
which Lambert Westling, running
for re-election, opposes Bob Simp¬
son, now senior class president.
Both have been active in student
affairs while at Pasadena junior
college, Westling having been sec¬
retary of athletics, president of
the A. M. S. and lower division
football captain in 1932. Simpson
has been secretary of the senior
class, is a Lanoer, and has been on
the social affairs committee.
Bob Wegge, vice-president of
the A. M. S., is running against
Jack Casserly, a former officer of
this body and well-known foot¬
ball player, for the leadership of
the associated men students. Both
have taken part in class and gen¬
eral student body activities.
Marian Howell, running against
Mary Lewis for the presidency of
the associated women students, is
senior editor of the “Campus,” sen¬
ior representative in the A. W. S.
cabinet and a member of the Y. W.
C. A. cabinet. Mary Lewis is now
first vice-president of the A. W. S.,
a Spartan, a member of the C. S.
F., and is on the sophomore council.
Paul Jones, at present chief jus¬
tice, has as his opponent for this
office Joe Phelps. Jones is on the
senior council, was a member of
last year’s championship junior col¬
lege debate team, and two years
ago graduated from the lower divi¬
sion with honors. Phelps has been
prominent in speech activities, hav¬
ing won the 1933 Arnold extempor¬
aneous contest. He is a member of
the speakers’ bureau and the senior
council.
Rudy Andersen will oppose
Rex Collings for senior repre¬
sentative. Andersen is secretary
of finance, member of the senior
council and a Lancer. Collings is
a member of a number of clubs.
Worden Nollar, lower division
football captain last year, will run
against Foster Markolf, the incum¬
bent, for sophomore class honors.

Undergo Approval
of Students
Interchanging with local and pro¬
fessional talent, the sophomore
class will gather in the music hall
for the last meeting of this semes¬
ter, February 2, three weeks from
today.
The professional touch will be
present when a famous magician,
as yet unannounced, stands up be¬
fore the crowd of non-believers to
do his “stuff.” Proof of the magi¬
cian’s authenticity is provided by
the council of the twelfth-year
group who voted a large sum of
money to provide the “real thing.”
The performer’s act wall take about
thirty minutes, according to Fos¬
ter Markolf, class president.
George Brown, well known popu¬
lar music pianist, will represent
jaysee in the program, rendering
several of the most popular tunes
of the moment.
Definite plans for next semes¬
ter’s meets have been started and
will include election of officers on
February 16, a dance date is sched¬
uled for March 9, .and a prom will
be staged at the end of the semes¬
ter.
Other programs this year have
included an election, a Hallowe’en
dance, and two other entertain¬
ments during club periods.
Last Junior
Meet Is Held
Mary Marsh, chairman of the
junior class council, presided over
the last meeting of the semester,
held in the social hall on Tuesday.
A round-table discussion was
held in which suggestions and criti¬
cisms and reports from the differ¬
ent committees were given. Intro¬
ducing a new idea, Audrey Rey¬
nolds was given charge of the jun¬
ior scrap book, with Dave Patrick
appointed chairman of the program
committee, and. Lorraine Palmer
had charge of refreshments.
Plans for the last class meeting
were brought forth by Eleanor
Northrup, junior class president,
who stated that the juniors were
to be presented with a motion pic¬
ture comedy from Bard’s Colorado
theater in room 200-C on January
26. The new gavel, which was given
to Eleanor by Bob Simpson, at the
Junior-Senior prom, will be used
for the first time.
Programing Yet
To Be Finished
Programs for the coming semes¬
ter have been made out by 2200
students and from 4000 to 4200 stu¬
dents will have to program. Miss
Ida E. Hawes, dean of guidance,
advises that all students in the
school make out programs at once
as classes are filling- up and it will
be necessary to close many soon.
“These programs are final,” says
Miss Hawes, “and any changes
must be made at once and not after
the new semester.”
Appointments with counselors
may be made at window No. 5 in
the records office.
