Harris iiiiiiiiiiilRiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniinnnnnijiiiiii FORGET IT Now that the students have ex¬ pressed themselves as desiring a single stuaent body organization lor the ne.v institution, anu have designated the type of govern¬ ment they prefer, it is the part of wisdom to forget that differen¬ ces of opinion on these subjects ever existed. If you were working for the propositions that won — forget it. if you thought other propositions should have won — forget it. Those questions are settled; yesterday is past. Today brings new problems, new challenges, and a new and big- I ger school to work for. It would be petty to try to car¬ ry over into toe new college old traditions that would be detrimen¬ tal to progress, or to retain a mis¬ guided spirit of loyalty to the old1 institutions that have combined to create the new — forget it. AN IDEAL COLLEGE We have been given the task of building a new college. Nothing- less than this is worthy of our ef¬ forts. It is a glorious challenge, this opportunity to create here an ideal rour-year college that will be tar in advance of any unior college in the country, it is a challenge tnat we should meet with zeal. We now have a larger student body than any junior college in ■ California, our campus is to be en- | larged by new buildings, among which is mentioned a student uni¬ on building, new equipment is to be purchased, new activities are to be developed, everything necessary for the developeiuent of an ideal eo.- lege is offered jiere. This is a challenge to every stu¬ dent ol' talent and vision to get into the activity he most enjoys and put it over in a big' way. Oppor¬ tunity has knocked, we have but to answer. * * * AN INJUSTICE Certain students have severely condemned typed recommendations which were strictly personal and which the students whose names appear thereon had nothing to do — saying that such a list is an uneth¬ ical maimer of gaining votes. It should be known that there has been no coalition or agreement on the part of these condidates, nor is there any organization backing them. The lists, for which these people have been unfairly accused of forming a huge political ring- to dominate and control the college, were somethin! / in which tne can¬ didates themselves had no hand. Any student who, in his mind, has condemned these students has done them an injustice. School Clubs and Business Men Donate Freely The total to date in the schol¬ arship loan drive is at $1(100, with the boys $170 in lead of the girls, which lead has been held every day since the beginning of the drive, with the exception ox the second. Numerous school organizations have subscribed, and in addition downtown business men, appeal¬ ed to by the business-like ar¬ rangement of the system, have donated freely. Tne junior college interclub council and the high school com¬ merce club, advised by Catherine Robbins of tiie comercial depart¬ ment, are in charge. A special window has been as¬ signed in the school bank where student solicitors may turn in tne money subscribed. Geraldine Anderson Upholds Pasadena’s Reputation In So. Cal.

Taking part in many oratorical “Rumors that permission has been granted for a student body dance to be held sometime in June are entirely unfounded,” said Principal John W. Harbe¬ son in an interview today. it was previously announced that a special permit had been is¬ sued by Mr. Harbeson, permit¬ ting a dance to be held in one of the school gymnasiums. This re-consideration of the school rul¬ ing which prohibits school dances was said to have been made be¬ cause of the union of the student bodies and the re-organization of the school system. Before the amalgamation was decided by the students, Mr. Har¬ beson issued a statement to the effect that under the new 6-4-4 system, he would recommend that student dances be allowed. No such permits have been issued, however.

Annual Shoe Shine Day to Furnish Fun for Seniors Ladeeeees and Gennelmer, 1 Step right up, and get the old hoof ; coverings scrubbed, scraped, shined and polished for the Scotch idea of a good price — ten cents' Shoe shine day! Friday, the first of June. Before school and during both advisories. Forget lunch for one day and invest in a dozen or 'more shines that will last iridefi- 1 nitely. Mr. O’Mara, it is rumored, will bend low and polish the shoes of the senior girl who sells the most tickets to be redeemed in shines. Upper Classmen to Map Programs All J. C. students who plan to return next year are expected to hake their programs before tire close of school this semester. The new bulletin and the schedule of classes will be available in a few days. In the meantime, each stu¬ dent may make the necessary in¬ vestigation and plan the content of his course. F-ery student who has had ori- ei.ruion this year, either this semester or last, must plan his course with the approval of his ori ntation teacher. These teach¬ ers will be provided with program cards upon which the student may copy his program after it has been approved. All other students should come to the junoir college office for consultation and approv¬ al of their programs. “Programs should be thought through carefully enough now so that changes will not be nec¬ essary”, said Dean Newlin, “If this is done the only thing nec¬ essary next fall will be to pay re¬ quired fees at the school hank Without receiving consideration, petitions from the high school and junior college students and faculty members have been returned from the city board. One petition was in the nature of a tribute to Miss Nellie Green Clarke. Both resolutions received the condemnation of the members of the board of education and were branded - as coming from persons who were uninformed of the matters at hand. Re-acting to the increasing of the teaching load of the instructors as was decided by the board some time ago, petitions were circulated by students in the upper division. Approximately 1000 students sign¬ ed the petition. The document requested that, in order to keep the high standards of the institution, the proposed change be reconsidered, that each student might he able to re¬ ceive the individual attention now possible. Tii к refusal of the board to even consider the matters makes it im¬ probable that there will be further action on the part of the students. With 62 names on the ballot, the primary voting for the 16 elective officers for next year under the new united student body will be conducted throughout the Pasadena high school and junior college dur¬ ing second period next Friday. On the following Monday, the final election wiil be held during third period in the high school and in the junior college by the polling me¬ thod.
