Result of Ref erendum Will
Influence Fund Distribution
Mast And Dagger Clears $500 On Carnival; Sequoia
Wins Booth Prize For Medicine Show; Tapping
Is Scheduled For June 5 Assembly
Conducting a referendum to discover the general student senti¬
ment regarding smoking on the campus, Mast and Dagger is sponsor¬
ing a vote on that question in today's ballot. According to Bud
Poulsen, president of the organization, the results of the polling will
influence the distribution of the funds received at the carnival last
week, which may be used to build
a park surrounding the student
union building where smoking will
be permitted.
Approximately five hundred dol¬
lars profit was collected at Dead-
wood Diggin’s last Friday evening,
announced Kit Cartwright, business
manager. The exact figures will
not be available until July 1, when
all bills will have been received by
the bank.
Sequoia Wins
Sequoia received first place for
booth decorations with an Indian
medicine show which presented free
performances during the evening.
Delta Psi Omega, Gunaike and
Areop won honorable mention for
decorated booths which stressed the
“western” theme.
The organization which made
the most sales for the evening will
be announced early next week after
all the ticket stubs have been
counted through the bank.
Tapping of the new members of
Mast and Dagger will take place
at the assembly on June 5. Bud
Poulsen will preside at the cere¬
mony which will recognize out¬
standing service in school activi¬
ties. Voting for new members is
done on the basis of three semes¬
ters of unselfish work, one of
! which must have been unusual in
the quality of service rendered.
“Selection of Mast and Dagger
members is not governed by prece¬
dent, but by the manner in which
a, student has fulfilled his work on
the campus,” said the president of
•the organization, which is the high¬
est honor to be achieved at Pasa¬
dena junior college.
Honoring the new members and
commemorating the tenth anniver¬
sary of the Order of Mast and
Dagger, a dinner will be given by
the group, the last week of school.
Ned F. Stirling and Nobu Kawai
have been appointed alumni chair¬
men for the banquet who will work

the Carmelita Garden house. Stu¬
dents not only created the work
displayed, but worked out the meth¬
ods of display. Showing how much
can be made of nothing the stu¬
dents, with corrugated paste board,
a little paint, a few tin cans, some
tinsled paper, and a few odds and
ends transformed the Carmelita
i Garden house from an old fash-
ioed dwelling into an inviting mod¬
ernistic home.
‘Is In Keeping’
Archie M. Wedemeyer, head of
the art department, said, “Out of
the hundreds of people who at¬
tended the exhibition, the many
with whom the art instructors
talked, were all of the opinion that
this exhibition of student creative
activity is more in keeping with
present day art appreciation, and
as a whole is more instructive as
to what the students of art de¬
partments of city schools, are do¬
ing.”
The exhibition was sponsored by
the Pasadena Junior Chamber of
Commerce. William S. Peters and
Mr. Wedemeyer are members of
the chamber’s fine arts committee.
Students Listed
The students who worked out the
arrangements are Alice Lembke,
chairman of the committee; Nor¬

would sponsor a referendum in
the elections today, to see how
student opinion stands on the
question of setting aside a par¬
ticular spot on the campus where
smoking would be permitted.
I he referendum, he said, would
he nothing more than an indica¬
tion of how the students felt on
the matter. No definite action
will be taken on the results of
this vote.
As its final social event, of the
year, the Newman club of Pasadena
junior college, organization of
Catholic students, will hold a com¬
