New Policy Of

According to the new law
passed by the Inter-Restrictive
Club Council, concerning the
rules of rushing and bidding,
the “hands off” policy will go
into effect at midnight Wednes¬
day, March 6, and will continue
until 2 o’clock Friday afternoon,
when bids will! be issued from
the office of the dean of women.
Students will receive call slips
Thursday to appear after school
in order to get their bids. If
any students are absent Friday,
their bids can be obtained at any
time Monday, March 11.
All restrictive club bids must
be in Miss Robbins’ office by 8
o’clock Thursday morning.
Phil Storm, Baccalaureate, is
president of the council; Ed
Raymond, Baccalaureate, was
pres ’dent last semester. _
With a total of twelve decisions
out of a possible eighteen in their
favor, the three debate teams of
Pasadena junior college returned
Sunday from the Pi Kappa Delta
invitational tournament held at
the College of the Pacific in Stock-
ton last week-end. The six stud¬
ents representing the jaysee de¬
serve a great deal of praise
Гог
their accomplishment, according to
Earl Davis, their coach, who stated
that as a result of their fine ef¬
forts, the three teams were ranked
among the highest ten out of fifty
teams competing in the junior col¬
lege division.
All the states on the western
coast were represented and as a
consequence, Pasadena debated
with teams from Washington, Ore¬
gon, Utah, Arizona and other
junior colleges in California.
“Teams were of a much higher
calibre than ever before,” Mr. Da¬
vis said, “and all the debates were
exceptionally good. Taking this
into consideration, our teams are to
be complimented on being ranked
so highly.”
Six In Finals
Of the fifty teams in the junior
college group, only six teams were
allowed in the semi-finals, and at
the time the Pasadena party began
their trek homeward, Glendale and
Long Beach seemed to be the two
most formidable teams remaining
in the contest.
The next item on the debaters’
schedule, according to Mr. Davis,
is the Phi Rho Pi tournament of
junior colleges in the southern di¬
vision of California. This will
probably be held under the aus¬
pices of the University of Califor¬
nia at Los Angeles on the 29th of
March. The question to be de¬
bated will be the same as the one
at Stockton, namely, “Resolved:
That the international shipment of
arms and munitions shall be abol¬
ished.” Besides this tournament
there will be two or three more
in the spring, during April ana
May.

George Rettie's Orchestra
Will Be Featured At
Spartan's Hop
“And they were Irish too,” if the
campus-wide search for Irish pa¬

the Spartans’ St. Patrick’s Day
jig is rewarded by Mr. O’Mara and
such “persons of pedigree.”
The dance which will be carried
out in the St. Patrick’s Day
theme, will be held in the men’s
gymnasium on Friday evening,
March 15. Bids will be sold for
25 cents this week and next by the

chestra will provide the melody for
the occasion, according to Eleanor
Northrup, general chairman of the
affair. Other committee heads who
are working on the dance arrange¬
ments include Kathleen Cartwright,
who is handling the bids which
will carry out the green and white
color scheme. Mary Alice Gianetti
obtained the orchestra which will
play for the dance, while Judy
Roode is in charge of decorations,
and Lila Renner is supervising the
publicity work.
This general student body dance
is the first social agair to be spon¬
sored by the Spartans, a service
club, although the organization

affairs and dances.

Players’ Guild Pledges Ten
New Members After Trials
'Architecture As History'
Subject Of Talk By
Noted Designer
Punctuating his remarks with
references to the arts, music and
literature, and with a humorous
slant that amused his listeners,
Richard J. Neutra, internationally
known architect, spoke to a large
audience in 100-T on “Architecture
as Current History” last Wednes¬
day night, under the sponsorship of
the T-Square club.
Mr. Neutra, a prominent leader
of the modern school of architec¬
ture, has designed buildings all
over the world. He illustrated his
talk with stereoptican slides of
buildings, some of which he de¬
signed, from the countries that he
has visited. The Anna Sten and
the Dr. Lovell homes in Hollywood
and his own home on Silver Lake
boulevard, in which he fully car¬
ried out his theories, were all de¬
signed by him.
Mr. Neutra centered his talk
around the thesis that builders,
really great architects, should use
and do use the materials at hand.
He emphasized that buildings
should be typical of the age and
of its purpose.
Nysaeans At
Two Meetings
At a luncheon and reception held
for the president of the Federated
Women’s clubs of California by
the Pasadena Shakespeare club,
the Nysaean group of singers en¬
tertained on February 12 under
the direction of Miss Lula C.
Parmley.
The same group and the P. J. C.
male quartet presented numbers
on February 15 at a tea given for
mothers of the school district by
the P. T. A., held at the home of
Mrs. Wootan of San Marino.
Assisted by Carlton and Robert
Fromholde, accordionists, the Ny¬
saeans gave a program for the San
Marino Men’s Civic club on Feb¬
ruary 19.
Ten junior collegians were taken
as pledges by the Players’ Guild,
upper division dramatic organiza¬
tion advised by Miss Elizabeth E.
Keppie, after the tryouts held two
weeks ago.
Barbara Barnett, Severine Calla¬
han, Jane Louise Clary, Edward
Darnell, Morton Dryden, Merritt
Hewitt, James Ross, Jack Swan,
Elizabeth Stephens and Natalie
Thiesen were those chosen from
over thirty applicants as being of
the best dramatic possibilities.
“We of the Guild are most happy
to welcome these students into
membership in our group. We feel
that the best possible choice was
made from the material presented
and expect much of them,” said
Miss Keppie.
Thirty lines from any play,
either classical or modern, in which
two characters had speaking parts,
was the condition that had to be
met in order to try out. Norbert
Bundschuh, president Mary Lou
Perry, vice-president; Nancie Jean
Allan, secretary; and Bill Mc¬
Gowan, treasurer, and the adviser
composed the tryout committee.

and successful educator in the
United States, Dr. Robert May¬
nard Hutchins, president of the
University of Chicago, under the
auspices of the Patrons’ associa¬
tion will speak at the Civic audi¬
torium Tuesday, March 26, on the
subject of “The Rising Genera¬
tion,” according to information re¬
ceived from Dr. John W. Harbe¬
son, who is a member of the com¬
mittee of arrangements.
Dr. Hutchins’ talk will be pre¬
ceded by a concert given by the
Bulldog band, which will be broad¬
cast over the air by an as yet un¬
announced radio station.
Great Experience
Dr. Harbeson said, in regard to
the talk, “It will be a great ex¬
perience for students and faculty
to hear a man with such prophetic
vision as Dr. Hutchins. The inno¬
vations, revolutionary as they
seem, which he has introduced at
the University of Chicago will
probably become the prevailing
practices in most colleges and uni¬
versities. I hope that every stu¬
dent in Pasadena junior college
will hear this great educational
leader of America.”
Besides being president of one
of the greatest universities, Dr.
Hutchins has been appointed by
President Roosevelt as chairman of
the Commission of Inquiry on Na¬
tional Policy in international eco¬
nomic relations, which studies the
reactions and wants of the people
of the United States. Dr. Hutchins
is a graduate of Yale and of the
law school. He was a professor of
