Councils Announced
By Prexies
By the small margin of four
votes. A1 Radka, veteran Pasa¬
dena junior college football player,
was elected senior class vice-
president over Charles Emarine
and Patty McCune in last Mon¬
day’s re-vote. A three-way tie be¬
tween the candidates in the previ¬
ous Friday’s minor elections made
this necessary.
In contrast to the record high
representation of 67 per cent regis¬
tered by the freshman class in last
Friday’s elections, the senior group
was represented by a mere 15 per
cent of its class on Monday. The
senior council, chosen by Stocking,
was not released until late this
week, but the other class councils
were released in time for publica¬
tion.

who were recently appointed by the
class officers are Tom Stevens,

Beatrice Barnett, Eldon Miller,
Bob Bonthius, Oliver Compton,
Paul Douglas, Bruce Jessup, Bar¬
bara Milliken, Evelyn Munn, Nath¬
alie Rice, Art Shipman, Shirley
Smith and Bob Stapleton.
For the purpose of planning
their dance on April 9 at the Vista
del Arroyo, the junior council met
in tent 11, last Monday at 3 p. m.,
with Phil Cartwright, president,
officiating. “Announcements of the
various dance committees will be
made next week,’’ said Cartwright.
Begin Activities
Members of the new sophomore
council began this semester’s ac¬
tivity by holding their first meet¬
ing of the semester yesterday aft¬
ernoon at which plans were made
for a sophomore-senior afternoon
dance, to be held Monday, March
15, in the Gold room at the Civic

With choirs representing seven
Southern California junior col¬
leges, the a Capella festival will
be held on April 7 at Long Beach
junior college, according to Miss
Lula C. Parmley, music department
head and director of the Pasadena
junior college a Capella choir.
Musical groups from Pasadena,
Glendale, Los Angeles, Compton,
Long Beach, Fullerton and Santa

in the festival, presenting world
classics. Symphonic orchestration,
under direction of Milton C. Mohs,
will also represent Pasadena at

“The annual a Capella festival
is regularly acclaimed as one of the
finest of its kind," said Miss Parm¬
ley. “It affords excellent field work
for junior college vocalists, and
Pasadena junior college singers in
past presentations have been wide¬
ly acclaimed. This year we hope
to exceed even past performances.’’

college assembly, several members
from the Nysaean and Euterpean

General Meeting Canceled
As Nineteen Open
Meets Held
With one of the biggest club
periods ever held on the campus,
forty junior college organizations
took part in the period last Friday
during assembly period, according
to Bill Weil, secretary of organiza¬
tions. Although there was no gen¬
eral meeting, other gatherings in¬
cluded 19 open conclaves, to which
all students were welcome.
"The February 26 club period
was very successful in that many
new students, and those then un¬
affiliated with clubs, became inter¬
ested in clubs and organizations
during the period,” said Weil. “Al¬
though there are still some few
students on the campus who are
not associated with clubs, most of
the student body members are ac¬
tively interested in at least one
club, and club memberships are
constantly being swelled.”
Next Period Told
Weil announced that the next
club period would be held April 9.
“Club presidents should make ar¬
rangements for rooms as early as
possible,” he said. “Last club period
there were several instances of mi¬
nor difficulties due to room appli¬
cations being made too late, and
these should be avoided as much
as possible.”
Featured meetings of the last
club period, on Friday, F’ebruary
26, were those which had club
speakers. Air hostesses from the
American Air Lines spoke at the
meeting of the Air Coeds, girls’
aeronautical organization, speaking
on relative phases of air transport
and future occupations for junior
college students.

Questionnaire
Shows Student
Idea Of School
- * - —
Revealing student opinion on
classroom procedure, results of
a questionnaire on student view¬
points were made public this
week. The questionnaire, drawn
up by Dr. W. Hardin Hughes,
Lynn W. Hattersley and R. L.
Ashley of the social science de¬
partment, represented the ideas
of 750 Pasadena junior college
students.
Most students are in favor of
'ectures, the questionnaire re¬
vealed, and they are willing to
spend half their time in class at
lectures. The students ques¬
tioned would prefer to use less
than one quarter of their time
in class examinations, with on¬
ly a tenth of the hour spent on
special reports by students. Lec¬
ture classes should number 75,
regular classes 30 and class dis¬
cussion groups, only 20, accord¬
ing to questionnaire opinion.
