'"College Carnival
Revived by Whittier
Whittier College has extended
an invitation to the Pasadena Jun¬
ior College student body to at¬
tend their annual Student Body
Carnival to be held Friday, April
4, on the Whittier Campus..
. The carnival has been a tradi¬
tion for many years but during
the period of war was cancelled.
Endeavoring to return to the gay
intercollegiate activities enjoyed
in previous years, Whittier has
extended invitations to PJC and
Fullerton JC. Don Logan, student
body president, has accepted
Whittier’s invitation on behalf of
the students.
The carnival will begin at 4:00
in the afternoon and last until
8:00, climaxed in the evening by
a program of professional enter¬
tainment. Hadley Field will
house the various booths spon¬
sored by societies and organiza¬
tions of Whittier. There will be
traditional baseball throwing, con¬
cessions, food booths, auctions
and other contests.
$125 of which will be paid each
year, if he is able to maintain a
“B” average; second, a $125 schol¬
arship; third, a $50 scholarship;
and fourth, fifth and sixth, prizes
of $25 scholarships each. All
winners will also receive special
Civitan awards of merit.
Entries should be from 750 to
1000 words in length, typed on
white letter-sized paper, the par¬
ticipant’s name appearing on a
separate sheet of paper to be
fastened to the essay. Referen¬

pear on the last page, or a state¬
ment that none were used. All
entries should be placed, not lat¬
er than April 10, in the special
box located for that purpose in
29C.
Essays will be judged on
thought expressed, interest, Eng¬
lish, organization, punctuation
and spelling. All students inter¬
ested are urged to participate.
Organized last year by the lo¬
cal Pasadena Civitan chapter, the
Junior Civitan is composed of
school leaders who will become
the community’s leaders.
four classifications. Styles of
whiskers are the soup-strainer,
with a brush on the chin, better
known as the Van Dyke, or a
real shave-saving full growth, for
those who can do it, the goatee,
and last, but not by far the least,
mustaches. These can be any¬
thing from a Jerry Colonna to
an Errol Flynn type.

Cabinet Plan
After experimenting for this
semester with a bi-cabinet sys¬
tem, a committee has been ap¬
pointed to suggest other ways
of gaining student government
unity. Marian Moser and Roy
Shaw are devising a pyramid
system, in which there would be
one much smaller cabinet, with
each office having several large
divisions.
Atom Bomb,
Peace Controls
Debated Today
The Atomic Bomb, its possibili¬
ties for peacetime and its control,
and the subject of “How to Pre¬
vent War,” were the topics for
discussion at this morning’s as¬
sembly. Sponsored by X-ANM,
the ex-servicemen and women’s
organization on campus, and in¬
troduced by Oliver Duffy, the
show planned and presented by
Dr. M. W. de Laubenfels, preced¬
ed to present a film showing the
first atomic bomb explosion.
Following the film a discussion
led by Dr. Richard Noyes of Cal¬
tech, President of the Pasadena
Scientists, was held on the subject
of the bomb’s destructive powers
and why it should be controlled
by the United Nations. What
might happen if the Atomic Bomb
should be used by some enemy
nation was also discussed.
The second half of the assem¬
bly period was devoted to the
more optimistic side of the pre¬
vention of war and the control
of the Atomic Bomb. In a talk
given by Dr. de Laubenfels of the
science department here at PJC,
the tremendous power of the A-
tomic Bomb for peaceful indus¬
tries was discussed. Along with
this talk still pictures illustrating
the subject were shown.
According to Dr. de Laubenfels
the assembly should be well re¬
ceived as this topic has been at
other such gatherings. Although
along a more serious note, the
subject of the Atomic Bomb is
an ever-present question and the
peoples of the United Nations
should be well aware of all its
possibilities for use in peace time
and in the advent of future war.
Stu U Chang es
Taken to Council
At a principal’s council meeting
on April 1, Don Logan student
body president, and Mr. J. Ray
Risser, adviser for student body
government, will explain the pro¬
posed changes in the plans for
the new Student Union.
The petitioned changes, which
were passed by the Board of rep¬
resentatives at the March 22 meet¬
ing, have been approved by Dr.
John Harbeson, principal. The re¬
visions will make fewer, but larg¬
er rooms out of several of the
student body offices.
As the plans now stand, there
are to be two floors; the first
floor will house a cafeteria, which
will relieve the problem of crowd¬
ed eating on campus. The sec¬
ond floor will include a large bal¬
cony, lounges and 12 to 14 stu¬
dent body rooms, such as a board
and cabinet meeting and work
room, a court room with a jury
and judges chamber, and the stu¬
dent body president’s office.
If no additional restrictions a-
rise, work will begin on the long-
awaited building in July. It will
be located directly west of the
Life Science Building, where there
is now a faculty parking lot. The
plans for the student union, and
other campus enlargements, have
been drawn by architects Robert
and Cyril Bennett.
