evening as the Floradora Sextette”

“The list of the seven princesses
has been arranged alphabetically
and (has nothing to do with the dif¬
ferent standings of the contestants
for the role of queen,” said Klva
Lois Kellogg, who was in charge of
the contest and will manage the
program for the carnival.
The winners were selected and
judged on the basis of personality

Rules Explained
At a meeting last week attended
by representatives of each campus
organization planning to partici¬
pate in either the carnival <pr the
parade, Bud Poulsen, president, ex¬
plained to the clubs the rules and
regulations which should be ob¬
served in booth construction and
decoration. As is customary, the
decoration expenses for the booth
and parade entries will be sus¬
tained by the clubs entering the
concession while all expenses in¬
curred in making the sales will be
met by Mast and Dagger. The pro¬
ceeds from the carnival will be
turned over in full to the honorary
organization to be used this year
for the beautification of the ground
surrounding the student union
building. Requisitions must be
turned in and all financial arrange¬
ments made with Kit Cartwright,

nounced.
The new list includes Walter

Mr. Dressier. The three highest
scores on the examination will re¬
ceive scholarships to any one of
seven Southern California colleges.

With less than a week in which

are making ready for the annual
government inspection, which takes
place Wednesday, May 13, at this
school, according to Rush Blodget,
adjutant of the local corps.
“These inspections occur annu¬
ally, and are one of the few times
in which the corps is seen by the
government. Consequently it is
important that we make a good
showing at this one,” said Blodget.
In order to view the planes and
observe an army airport in action,
the cadets of the corps visited
March field, Riverside, last Sat¬
urday. Leaving in the morning at
9 o’clock, they arrived in River¬
side in time to participate in a
baseball game with the Riverside
R.
О.
T. C. team. From there the
cadets went to the field, where they
had lunch and were guided over
the plant. They returned to Pasa¬
dena at 4:30 in the afternoon.
Promotions Made
Recently the local unit made
several promotions of student ca¬
dets and officers. Promoted to ser¬
geants were Howard Hotaling,
Harold Hoblit, Charles Hogle, Clif¬
ford Pratt, Edward Winsor and
Max Hole. To the rank of cadet
corporals were promoted Lyndon
Vivrette, Donlyn Vivrette and
James Stivers. Ira Cheaney and
Robert Palmer became second lieu¬
tenants during the appointments.
Under the leadership of Major
Geoffrey Galwey, local R.
О.
T. C.
head, the Pasadena unit is plan¬
ning the formation of a mounted
platoon. Some local riding aca¬
demy will be the scene of the first
drill, next week, according to offi¬
cial announcement. Instructions in
equestrianism and cavalry work
will be given during these lessons.
PLAYS REQUESTER
Ten radio plays written by stu¬
dents in Miss Maude Oliver's crea¬
tive writing class are being sent
to Santa Barbara high school to
be produced by the radio voice
class there, under the direction of
Mrs. Gertrude Dickersons.
Time on the local Santa Bar¬
bara radio station will be given for
the best pieces of work of this
class and non-royalty plays were
needed by the group.
Parking Chief
Stresses Need
For Safety
“During the past few weeks,
violations of campus parking
regulations, particularly in the
driveway areas,” said Frank
Van Gilluwe, chairman of the
parking commission, “have been
greatly increased.” He also re¬
ported that the parking commis¬
sion has been authorized to give
tickets to the violators of these
regulations. The offenders will
be summoned before the student
court.
The following areas are pro¬
hibited for parking: Sierra Bo¬
nita driveway, men’s gym drive¬
way, Bleeker house driveway,
astronomy driveway, and park¬
ing lot driveways.
“The students’ cooperation in
this matter will facilitate park¬
ing in the proper areas and will
also be greatly appreciated,”
said Van Gilluwe.

Pasadena’s introduction of this
