VESPERS WILL BE ON SUNDAY jjasiuicim Chronicle HOMECOMING DANCE IS PLANNED Vol. XXVIII Pasadena, California, January 29, 1937 No. 19A Dance And Party Will Entertain Collection To Help Flood Sufferers Will Be Raised American Red Cross Asks For Funds, As Desperate Needs Arise In Inundated Middle West Traditions Carried Out Ini Two Social Affairs Monday A. M. S. IS SPONSOR Hal Lomen’s Orchestra To Play For Dance At Civic Beginning a new tradition and carrying out an old will be the pur¬ pose of two affairs planned for next Monday, February 1, when registration for the new semester will be held. Sponsored by the associated men students, a registration day party will be held in the men’s gym from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. Under the direc¬ tion of Vernon Leif, music and games will be furnished. Admit¬ tance to the party will be by bring¬ ing a new student, as the purpose of the party, according to Leif, is to get acquainted with the new stu dents. Under the direction of Barbara Milliken, secretary of social affairs, the annual Homecoming dance will be held in the Civic auditorium be¬ ginning at 8:30 Monday night. Bids, selling at 25 cents, can be obtained in the student body office in the Student Union building or at the door. Hal Lomen’s orchestra will fur¬ nish the music for the occasion, and, according to Miss Milliken, it is hoped that the entire student body will attend the affair, but that new students especially will be there as it is held at the beginning of each semester in their honor. According to Leif, there will probably not be dancing at the reg¬ istration party because of the for¬ mality which dancing creates among the students, thus giving the new people little chance to get acquainted, which is the main pur¬ pose of the affair. Another traditional affair which is held the first week of each se mester is, the Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A. Hi-Jinks, which will be held in the men’s gym on Friday night, February 5. Because of the basket¬ ball game scheduled for that night, the party will be held following the game. The following week the associ¬ ated men and associated women students will entertain new stu¬ dents on Wednesday, February 17. Wednesday afternoon the A. W. S. will present a party honoring new students and old in the men’s gym at 3:15. The first stag of the new semes¬ ter will be held by the A. M. S., Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. in the men’s gym. As yet the programs for these two affairs have not been announced. Guild Chooses New Officers Roy Winder was selected to the presidency of Players’ Guild at an election held during club period Friday, January 15. Other officers chosen were Patsy Burr, vice-presi¬ dent; Barbara Barnett, secretary; and Murrav Huss, treasurer. These officers will serve during the com¬ ing semester. Miss E. E. Keppie, adviser of Players’ Guild, announced recently that any upper divison student in¬ terested in trying out for member¬ ship in the club is asked to notify her in room 208Q. Requirements for trying out are 30 lines from a play, in which two or more char¬ acters speak, memorized. The date for these tryouts will be an¬ nounced later. During the meeting, Dorothy June Evans, secretary of Delta Psi Omega, honorary dramatics frater¬ nity, invited Players’ Guild mem¬ bers to join Delta Psi members on a tour through the new Comunity Playhouse School of the Theatre. The tour will be held January 27, at 3:30. CONVOCATION IS PLANNED BY CLUB Jackson Wilcox was elected new president by the Roger Williams club at its meeting in 207E, Fri¬ day, January 15. Other officers elected were vice-president, Viola Fredericks; secretary. Constancy Read; and treasurer, Juanita Han¬ sen. These new officers are planning the March convocation, which will feature Rev. Fenwick Fowler of the Monrovia Baptist church. The first meeting of the new semester, which is also being planned by the new officers, will be held Tuesday, February 3. Probably the most serious flood situation that has ever hit Ameri¬ ca is now inundating at least all of the Middle Western states, causing intense suffering, extensive damage and terror. To help alleviate the situation, various relief agencies must have money with which to buy desperately needed medical supplies, temporary shelters, food, pure water and the transportation ,to-*- - move at least 500,000 inhabitants | other relief funds. Many Eastern from areas not yet fully struck by ; colleges and high schools have the flood waters of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. To help in this work, a collection will be taken from among the members of the student body during the assembly this morning, according to Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal, and Sam Schwartz, president of the Assoc¬ iated Student body. The American Red Cross, which has taken partial charge of relief function in the inundated areas, has issued a call for funds, and these are very much needed. Over 1,000,00 inhabitants are homeless, 223 are known dead, great num¬ bers are missing and damage has been estimated at over three-hun¬ dred-million dollars. In the wake of this extensive damage and destruction has come disease, looting of the destroyed areas and a general reign of terror. “The plea for funds has come as a result of the desperate need for food, water, medical supplies and Club Period Held Friday January 15 Exhibition Duel Presented At General Meeting In Men’s Gvm raised as much as $500 to $1000 each to aid in this great work, and it is only fitting that Pasadena should join with them,” said Schwartz. “Going without a movie, a few ice cream cones, or some¬ thing of the sort, is surely a small price to pay in order to take part in this great movement. “There is nothing compulsory in this collection, in accordance with a school ruling, but it is such a worthy cause that it seems as though it should be possible for practically every student of this school to contribute a small sum of money for relief.” The faculty is joining the student body in carrying on this work. In a bulletin to the faculty issued last Wednesday, Dr. Harbeson urged that faculty members contribute as much as $1.00 each to add to the fund which will be sent immediate¬ ly to the Red Cross headquarters. The Chronicle gladly joins with •these officials in urging those stu¬ dents who can afford it to contrib¬ ute. The relief of such a situation as confronts this country is no easy task, and the money to carry it out is one of the most important things to consider. “It will give Pasadena junior col¬ lege a part of real importance in this relief work if enough money is raised to substantially help out. Any amount, no matter how small, will help raise the total fund, and it is hoped that we can make a success of this venture,” Schwartz concluded. Holding both open and closed neetings, approximately 20 non- estrictive and 14 restrictive clubs onvened during the last club per- od of the year, Friday, January Club Elects Six Officers A general assembly was held on the bleachers for students who did not desire to attend any of the club meetings. Representatives of Zeta Gamma Phi, Phi Rho Pi, Al¬ pha Gamma Sigma, Theta Rho Pi and Beta Phi Gamma, honorary fraternities, explained the func¬ tions and puproses of these groups. Those who spoke in behalf of their organizations were James Hawkins, Franklin Patterson, Kenneth Bod- ger, Jack Pettingall and Harriette Hills. Members of the Pasadena junior college ROTC gave a parade, and First Lieutenant Jim Moffet and Second Lieutenant Dick Fret- ter, using both sword and dagger at once, gave an exhibition duel. In addition to the non-restrictive clubs, two restrictive clubs, Gun- aike and One Club, also held meet¬ ings open to any students desir¬ ous of attending. Murray G. Hill, head of the English department, was the speaker for the Gunaike club, and One Club featured a talk on the care of the skin, by Miss Gladys Carleton, head of F. C. Nash’s cosmetics department. Bill Weil, secretary of organiza¬ tions, who is in charge of the club periods, said, “This action shows a fine spirit of cooperation on the part of these two clubs, and such meetings are instrumental in helping to break down the errone¬ ous attitude that restrictive clubs foster a stiff and unfriendly at¬ mosphere on the campus.” INFLUENZAD ANGER IS SEEN BY DOCTOR Influenza is making itself a ma¬ jor problem in some cities in Cali¬ fornia at the present day, according to Dr. R. H. Brown, city schools physician. Though it is not as seri¬ ous as the 1918-1919 type, it de¬ serves mention as an important disease, Dr. Brown announced in the health department bulletin number 45, recently. “Because of the ready communi¬ cability of the illness, students ex¬ hibiting signs of it — much the same symptoms as an ordinary cold — should be sent home and excluded from school for at least a week,” said Dr. Brown. “Upon return to activity, there should be no physi¬ cal education for a period of at least two weeks following complete recovery.” MAGNATURA PICKS OFFICERS IN MEET New officers for Magnatura club, business education organization, were chosen Friday morning, Janu¬ ary 15. Officials of the dub for the coming semester will be Bud Tem- te, president; Robert Clark, vice- president; Bob Howard, secretary; and Elwood Phillips, treasurer. Triple ‘J Meets During Club Period Friday * Election of officers was featured at the meeting of the Triple “J” club, Japanese organization, dur¬ ing club period Friday, January 15. Mac Hohri was re-elected presi¬ dent of the organization, and other officers elected at the same time were Jiro Oishi, vice-president; Joe Takayama, secretary; Kei Mi- kuriya, treasurer; Hid Takayama, sergeant-at-arms; and Jimmie Kir- ita, publicity manager. Triple “J” is planning a skating party, to be held in the Shrine audi¬ torium during the latter part of February. Also planned for the fu¬ ture, though no definite date has been set, is a dance for the mem¬ bers. Triple “J” is a club which is run for the benefit of any Japanese student on the campus who wishes to join. The name stands for the Japanese people of three countries, Japan, Hawaii and the United States. FATHER O’SHEA IS NEWMAN CHAPLAIN Speaking to the Newman club, at a meeting in St. Philip’s hall, Friday, January 15; Father O’Shea the new chaplain of the junior col¬ lege Catholic organization, said, “Know your religion thoroughly. It will help you to know yourself.” Father O’Shea replaced Rev. John Clarke when the latter re¬ signed his duties earlier this month. An honor key was presented to the departing Rev. Clarke by Paul Cuilhe, president of the Newman club. It came from the organiza¬ tion as a memento of the students’ appreciation of Rev. Clarke’s work as chaplain. TICKETS OFERED AT HALF DISCOUNT Tickets may be obtained at half- price for the Hollywood Opera com¬ pany’s presentation of “Carmen,” it was announced in the bulletin last Monday.
