SECOND ISSUE OF VO-MAG ANNOUNCED jteaticim (Tl]vonicIc TRACK TEAM TO MEET GLENDALE VoL XXVII Pasadena, California, March 13, 1936 No. 21 'All American’ Magazine To Appear Next Week Breach Of Hands-Off Ruling Charges Made At Council’s Meeting Clubs Break Rushing Rules During Recent Season Probably Will Be Placed On Probation By RICC Ruling; To Decide At Next Meet That no club has yet been placed upon probation or will be until a general meeting of the Restrictive Inter-Club Councils held next Wednesday, was the sole statement made by Helen Sperry, RICC president, in regard to the recent fracas which arose out of the bid- of two weeks ago. Several charges of "breaking silence” were made, according to Miss Sperry, against* - - - various members of the council, but ] _ __ Spartans lo Turn Tables On Escorts no definite action was taken by the meeting of the council last Friday. But one decision was made at the meeting. Proposed by Gordon Eby, Areopagite president, the council passed a ruling providing that any club whose members have been definitely guilty of illegal rushing or bidding shall be placed on pro¬ bation and refused the right to either bid or rush during the first four weeks of the following semes¬ ter. Providing the resolution were made retro-active, any number of the twenty-six restrictive organi¬ zations might be placed upon pro¬ bation, and although it was gen¬ erally believed in club circles that only four clubs were under actual suspicion, a ruling against them No decision can be made, however, until the meeting called for next Wednesday is held. Two Weeks Ago The whole situation ( arose two weeks ago when the traditional silence, from Wednesday midnight until two o’clock Friday, was cal¬ led by President Sperry in the absence of Miss Catherine J. Rob¬ bins, advisor of the council. In the past, Miss Robbins has been in charge of both the silence and the issuing of bids. In her absence, Miss Sperry took complete charge, and rumors of “silence breaking” hovered around the administration building throughout the entirety of Friday afternoon, when bids were issued. A large number of groups, composed of club members, congregated about the lawn in front of the administration build¬ ing, awaiting biddees as they emerged from Miss Robbin’s office, where they had been given a bid after naming first, second and third choices. As a consequence of the failure of the group to come to any decision last Friday, the result of the whole situation rests upon Wednesday’s meeting. Miss Robbins, recently returned from the eastern trip that prohi¬ bited her presence during the bid¬ ding, refrained from comment up¬ on the situation in hand, prefering to await the outcome of the forth¬ coming decision upon the part of the council. 119 Perform In Assembly One hundred and nineteen mem¬ bers of the Pasadena junior col¬ lege symphony orchestra, directed by Milton C. Mohs, played -at as¬ sembly, Friday, March 6. They presented an enjoyable program of classical music: “Her¬ od Overture,” by Hadley, “On the Trail,” by Grofe, and an arrange¬ ment of favorite Rudolf Friml compositions by Grofe. The music was enthusiastically received by the students, and “On The Trail,” depicting a cowboy driving a team of mules over the mountain trails of Arizona, drew forth the greatest applause. Milton C. Mohs stated that he enjoyed playing for the assembly, and he was pleased with the atten¬ tion and response of the audience. COUNSELING’ TOPIC OF WEITZEL TALK “Counseling, What Is It?” was the subject of the talk Dr. Henry I. Weitzel, counselor, gave to the San Pasqual Masonic lodge Wed¬ nesday, March 4, at their monthly meeting, to which they invite a speaker. Dr. Weitzel stressed the impor¬ tance of the counselor’s work from the student’s angle, how they choose the best selection possible from the curriculum, and under what conditions changes are al¬ lowed. There was a question raised about whether the terminal courses were successful or no. Dr. Weitzel explained that at Pasadena junior college the majority of the students received jobs very soon after graduation. Strictly Leap Year Affair To Be Held In Men’s Gymnasium Turning the tables on the men, j co-eds will escort their one and 1 onlys to the Spartan St. Patrick’s Day dance a week from tonight. The dance, which will be held in the mens’ gymnasium, will be strict¬ ly a leap year affair and no unes¬ corted males will be admitted. According to Marjorie Bettan- nier, president of the Spartans, the dance which is the second one to be given by the service group will probably become an annual event. Proceeds from the affair are used to supplement the student body al¬ lotment given to the organization to provide sweaters for the active members. Bids Green, Silver Bids, which carry out the St. Patrick’s Day motif in green and silver are 25 cents and may be purchased from any Spartan or at the door on the evening of the dance.

MOS Exclusion In Chronicle Is Apologized For The Chronicle wishes to ex¬ press apologies to restrictive club M. O. S., and a rebuke to the careless copyreader who let last week’s lists of restrictive club pledges slip by without the inclusion of M. O. S.’s list. Following are the new pledges of this club: Oliver Compton, Bruce Jessup, Dick Balch, Bob Lounsberry, Charles Adams and Bob Pelletreau. Due to the confusion existing at the time and distribution of the bids, because of the new¬ ness of the new system, it was difficult to make no error. Henceforth the Chronicle will be more careful. As this is written, Amphion has not yet turned in the names of its pledges, making it impos¬ sible to compile any list of them. Flintridge Scene For RICC Hop Mason Mallory’s Band To Play For Men’s Dance Tonight IS S E M LANNUAL Friday The Thirteenth Is To Be Theme; Affair Is Informal Contributor TO ENTER CONTEST “Wurtzel-Flummery,” a one-act play written by A.

The hall was obtained by Sequoia club and the Areopagites were responsible for securing the orchestra.

Women Sponsor Last semester’s dance, sponsored by the women’s organizations was held at the Vista del Arroyo hotel with Bob Mohr’s orchestra furnish¬ ing the music. “We are sure that with the music of Mason Mallery’s band, and the general accoutrements of the Flint¬ ridge hall, this dance will be bet¬ ter than any held previously,” said Paddock. “It is also hoped that be¬ cause the night of Friday the thir¬ teenth is believed in some quarters to be somewhat unlucky that no I prospective dancer will stay away because of his superstitions.” Vo-Mag To Be Out On March 18 Publication To Present Literary Figures To Students Hugh Walpole, distinguished Eng¬ lish author, who has done a special article on Rudyard Kip¬ ling for Vo-Mag, vocational magazine.
