West Campus Opens for Fall Semester
5000 to Be Maximum
Number on East Campus
Decision to open the West Campus next September as an¬
other unit of the Pasadena school system in order to accomo¬
date rising enrollment was reached Tuesday night by the
Board of Education. Under present skeleton plans full and
adequate educational facilities are to be available on the West
Campus, formerly called John Muir Technical High School.
Enrollment Ceilings
Enrollment on East Campus will be restricted to 5000 and applica¬
tion will be accepted for West Campus until that capacity is reach¬
ed, about 2000 to 2500. Until these maximum ceilings are reached, a
student will have a choice of going to either campus.
In light of the influx of veterans returning to college, it is
anticipated that enrollment will continue to rise. With over 5000
already on this campus and no end in sight, it is necessary to make
some provision for a solution to this problem.
Previously Operated Until 1943
Before and during the early part of the war, the additional
campus was operated as a unit of Pasadena Junior College. The
student body was organized as a single unit, with associate student
officers on each campus. However, in 1943, declining enrollment on
both campuses made it impractical to continue this split plan, and at
that thime, the double student body was re-combined into a single unit.
West Campus was first opened in 1938 when peak enrollment on
the two campuses was over 7000. Classes organized there were largely
from the business education department, some trade courses and
some academic work in the English, social science and language fields.
During its first year of operation, it is planned that administra¬
tive and student body organization will be similar to the old set-up.
Ultimately, according to Dr. Harbeson, it is hoped that two separate
organizations can be envolved.
WAA Teams Convene for

Athletes and sports enthusiasts representing at least
twelve Southern California junior colleges and high schools

In Memoriam
In the passing of Miss Elizabeth E. Keppie, Pasadena Junior
College has lost a great teacher. From the very founding of
the college she contributed mightily to the standards and ideals
of our institution.
Few teachers have been permitted to influence so deeply and
in so many ways the lives of their students. Her courses constitu¬
ted rich and fascinating excursions into the best that mankind has
felt and known. In her extracurricular contacts in the fields of
speech and drama she developed an excellence which approached
the professional.
Miss Keppie possessed three outstanding personal character¬
istics which will make her continue to live in the lives of all of
us who were privleged to know and work with her.
First of these was her uncompromising devotion to standards.
The lines of the drama had to be presented without deviation.
Not only must the cast speak the right words, but they must
pronounce them correctly. No shoddy work ever appeared in one
of her plays. . ^ , .
Another personal characteristic was the loftiness of her ideal¬
ism. She was neither an opportunist nor a compromiser with ex¬
pediency. She sought only the ideal and struggled in season and
out for its attainment.
And, finally, we shall always remember Miss Keppie for her
passionate love of life. She loved life in all of its finest manifes¬
tations. She loved the out of doors and the best in music and art
She loved great books and plays, the theatre, the church, and besi
of all she loved people.
Let us keep that spirit alive in the college which she did so
much to build. — John W. Harbeson

Queen Candidates
Have Causes
for OMD Festival
With four queen candidates be¬
ing chosen by campus organiza¬
tions, details and final plans for
the May Festival to be held May
17 by OMD are nearly complete.
To be chosen and sponsored by
the student government, the mus¬
ic department, the X-ANM club
and the WAA, these queen candi¬
dates will be introduced at the
assembly next Friday. Voting will
begin that morning.
Represents a “Cause”
Each queen candidate will rep¬
resent a cause or charity, and
money made from the festival
in votes and concessions will be
pro-rated to these causes on the
basis of the votes cast for each
candidate.
The queen will be crowned on
May 17 at the festival which will
take place around the mirror
pools. Decorations overhead, on
booths and floating on the pools
will carry out a central festival
theme. The entire area will be
floodlighted.
Concessions
Carnival concessions will be op¬
erated by restrictive, non-restric-
tive and honorary groups. Some
booths will sell pop-corn, coke and
such food, while others will fea¬
ture games similar to those on
the beach pikes. A portion of the
profit from the concessions will
be retained by the operating club.
The rest will be pro-rated to the
causes in the same manner as
the vote money. OMD will retain
no money.
Islands Need Books
Those countries and islands on
whose soil the war was fought
are sorely in need of books to
replace those destroyed in the in¬
vasion. The PJC War Council
has announced that May 13 to 17
will be the week of the Philippine
Book Drive. The courageous
stand of those islands during the
dark days of the Japanese inva¬
sion is well-known to all Ameri¬
cans. The Japanese burned every
book on the islands.
Any book is acceptable: text
books, novels, children’s books,
joke books, even log books and
diaries. The book’s condition does
not need to be perfect, nor does
the' publication date have to be
recent.
