Junior college student officers made their greatest
move of the year early this week when they approached
the Board of Education Monday evening with sketches and
plans for a new and much-needed student union.
WAA Play Day,
With Scotch Motif,
Set For Tomorrow
More than 500 girls represent¬
ing 11 junior college, will come
to PJC tomorrow to attend the
WAA annual Spring play day.
The theme of the event is
Scotch, with the clans gather¬
ing at 8:45 in areas designated
by plaid pennants correspond¬
ing to their clan name.
Sports begin at 9:15, and in¬
clude baseball, badminton, ar¬
chery, rifling and tennis. Lunch¬
eon follows at 11:30 on the
patio of the student union.
Dean Catherine J. Robbins
will give a welcoming speech as
part of the luncheon program.
The scotch theme will be fur¬
ther carried out with a bagpipe
medley by James Robson and
group, glockenspiel melodies by
Sid Brown, Don Glaum and
Jack Tindula; Harry Lauder,
imitations by Barclay Hodgkin;
and a foursome reel by the folk
dancing class. The program will
be ended with the group singing
Auld Lang Syne. All faculty
members are cordially invited
to 'attend the luncheon.
Two former Olympic partici¬
pants, Mrs. Carol Metten and
Miss Velma Dunn will act as
officials at the swimming meet
that will follow. Officials from
USC and UCLA will take over
the baseball, tennis and bad¬
minton tournaments.
Alpha Gamma Sigma
Honors Fifteen
Fifteen Pasadena junior col¬
lege honor students joined
more than 200 other jaysee stu¬
dents from every section of Cali¬
fornia at Glendale junior col¬
lege, Saturday, in a state meet¬
ing of Alpha Gamma Sigma,
junior college scholastic honor¬
ary society.
Twenty-two chapters sent
representatives to the meet. A
panel discussion on “Labor in
California” highlighted the one
day session. Margaret Bolin
and Robert Yost represented
PJC in the labor discussion.
Other PJC students attending
were: Marjorie Anderson, Vir¬
gil Arklin, Doris Butler, Lois
Cheek, Hazel Dartt, James
Drake, Willis Fallis, Barbara
Gershler, Jean Gilbert, Arlene
Jones, Gerald Martin, Jane
Pritchard and Robert. Worces¬
ter.
The Board of Education has
assigned an architect to study
the project of a men’s gymnas¬
ium on the east campus. Plans
and sketches will be ready
within the next two or three
weeks.
Students Save
A large percentage of the
cost of the proposed student un¬
ion will be met by the student
body with funds they have been
saving for the last three years
and money they have budgeted
approximately for the next two.
The delegation representing the
school has asked for the coop¬
eration of the Board of Educa¬
tion and the WPA in partially
financing the construction.
It is expected that by the time
the new cafeteria-union is paid
for, it will have become more
than self-supporting
Ideas for the present plans
for this building have been tak¬
en in part from all those pro¬
posed in the last three years.
The present plan is the most
compact, the most adequate,
and the least expensive of any.
It is to be built in the three
wings sketched in the picture
on this page.
Convert Building
The present student union
would be made into the east
wing of the new union building.
This part would contain only
the bookstore and the bank, and
the redecoration would be fi¬
nanced by the bookstore.
The center section as planned
would have room for tables and
chairs to accomodate approxi¬
mately 1000 students. It would
provide room to eat and a place
to study, heretofore lacking on
the campus.
This room would be con¬
structed to that the tables and
chairs could be cleared away
quickly and the space used for
an assembly hall or for social
affairs in the evening.
Over this hall would be two
balconies, one with lounges for
faculty men and women, the
other for men and women stu¬
dents.
Office Room
The third section will be two
and a half stories high, the first
story containing a large foun¬
tain, kitchens and faculty din¬
ing rooms; the second with stu¬
dent body offices, a court room
and conference rooms for the
use of various clubs and stu¬
dent organizations. Outside the
building additional eating facili¬
ties might be provided for those
who bring their lunches, in gar¬
den style.
Estimated cost of the student
union-cafeteria is $110,000 .Stu¬
dents will raise onelthird of the
money from the $10,000 they
already have in their student
union fund, and from their in¬
come sources of football gate,

Experienced Staff Handling
Production of "Outward Bound "
Under supervision of one of the most experienced production
staffs ever assembled at PJC, Delta Psi Omega will present May
10, the Sutton Vane play, “Outward Bound.”
Headed by Hal Wolff, on publicity, the staff includes Paul
Carroll, PJC producer and author, and Mable Prouty, former AWS
prexy.
Paul Carroll and Hal Wolff worked together in the production
of "Bachelor Born,” and Carroll is now producing his own show,
“Lady of the Shadows.”
The play, "Outward Bound,” was made famous in its first
presentation in New Jarsey, in 1923. The cast at that time was
headed by Leslie Howard and Beryl Mercer.
The PJC cast includes Bill Burke, Miriam Purdon, Pat Hops,
David M. Brown, J. C. England, Dorothea Streib and Lamont
Johnson. The story, a fantasy, tells of the final decision that
affects every person— heaven or hell.
Directed by Elizabeth Keppic, admission will be by ticket
number 35, or 35 cents.
text see page 3) which was
drawn up by more than 60
students in two constitution
classes of Keith Peters.
This new constitution will be
“previewed” on Tuesday at a
special constitution assembly in
auditorium at 8:47 am. Vince
and Harlan Erickson, Howard
Clapp, Dick Mazy, Bob Burns,
Warren Allen and Bill Simmons
will serve on a pane to answer
questions and explain the work¬
ings of this new document.
Their explanations will be illus¬
trated by a large chart showing
the complex structure of the
new streamlined government.
The final work in adapting
these new governmental struc¬
tures to fit the school's needs,
and in legally wording the new
document, was done by a con¬
stitutional convention of 15 stu¬
dent leaders. Five members
were elected from each of the
two constitution classes and
five leaders were appointed by
the student board of representa¬
tives to make up the member¬
ship of this convention which
worked out the details of the
new constitution.
Students will either vote for
complete acceptance or com¬
plete rejection of this constitu¬
tion, and must bring their iden¬
tification cards in order to be
able to vote. This voting will
take place in classrooms imme¬
diately folowing the assembly;
the 9 o’clock period on the east
campus, and the 11 o’clock per¬
iod on the west campus. For
those students without classes
at these times, voting can be
done at the student body offices
window or the ticket window in
the main hall. All the voting
will be done in the one period.
Above is the plan for the first floor of the proposed East Campus Student Union.
The West Campus student
union is a concrete example
of the value of such a school
institution. It is the backbone
of a student democracy that
is acknowledged everywhere. It
provides them a place to study
at leisure. It unites the school.
Whereas the west campus un¬
ion needs only acoustically
treated ceiling and walls, the
east campus at present has no
student union at all.

In National Boys * and Girls* Week
By John Moore
As a result of city wide recognition of National Boys’
and Girls’ Week, more than 600 PJC students next week
will take the places of employees throughout Pasadena for
one day. Jobs ranging all the way from that of City Mana¬
ger Cyrus Koiner’s to those of department store clerks will
be taken over by students.
Boys’ and Girls’ Week is sponsored by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce in an effort to give the youth of
Pasadena an opportunity to observe the workings of a city
close at hand.

Chosen for beauty, personality, charm and other features close to the masculine heart,
seven gorgeous girls were namd as the court of the 14th annual Order of Mast and Dag¬
ger carnival, May 17. These girls will reign over “Barbary Coast,” this year’s carnival
theme, while one, “The Toast of Barbary Coast,” will be chosen queen at a later date.
The court consist of Mary Leighton Taylor, Laurie Boyle, Margaret Morlan, Claudine
Radeke, Marjorie Garland, Marjorie Maybury and Pat Gormeley.
This group was picked by OMD members from a total of 109 candidates. The 109
girls were reduced to 35 and thence to 11. Last Monday the 11 chosen girls went through
the final elimination with the seven named above as the carnival court.
