Of First Freshman
Social Event
‘Fried Friar’ Is
Potent Problem
For Lit. Laddie
Freshmen will gather tonight for
their initiation into the collegiate
social whirl at the “Freshman
Hop,” to be given in the crystal
ballroom of the Huntington hotel,
at 8:30.
Bids, which are 50 cents each,
have been sold Wednesday and j
Thursday, with a continued sale |
today, during lunch periods and
after school, until 3:30. The sale
of the tickets is in charge of Burl
Johnson, Hub Crehan, Anna Kath- ;
erine Jones, Eloise Jones, Carolyn
Farris, Art Brewer and Phil Mon¬
roe.
“Best Dance”
“The reason the freshmen are
charging for bids is not to make
money, but to clear up expenses,
thus affording a better dance. We
feel that we have a popular orches¬
tra and popular place, and we hope
to have the best dance of the win¬
ter season,” said James Herbold,
freshman president, who is in
charge of the affair.
In order to make the dance al¬
most exclusively freshman, the
class council has railed that at
least one member of each couple
must be of the class, and bids will
be sold to class members only, ex¬
cept to student body officers, who
will receive free bids.
Patrons and patronesses who
will attend are Dr. and Mrs. John
W. Harbeson, Mr. and Mrs. James
P.O’Mara, Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Cornelison, Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Hayes, Miss Ellen Denning, Miss
Eleanor Homer and Miss Gladys
Lee.
Harmon Orchestra
Manny Harmon and his orchestra
have been secured to furnish the
music for the occasion.
Arrangements for the hop were
made by seven committees: Bids,
refreshments, decorations, reser¬
vations, orchestra, program and
publicity.
Department
Gives Show
A varied exhibit of oil paint¬
ings, in illustrative type, commer¬
cial and costume design, still life
studies, life drawing nad a special
group of commercial craft articles
from the Cho.uinards’ art school of
Los Angeles, will be shown for
two weeks in the Jane Addams
building.
Mrs. Nelbert Chouinard, founder
and commander-in-chief of the art
school, will be honored at an after¬
noon reception and tea in the art
pedratment, with all art instruc¬
tors from the different junior high
schools of this city invited; also
the junior college counselrs and
administrative staff will be pres¬
ent. Archibald Wedemeyer, head
of the art department, says that !
the exhibit is truly inspirational.
Mrs. .Ruth Chase, chairman of i
the exhibi committeet, expects to [
have many exhibits this year, not
only from professional art schools,
but from .various universities and
colleges, so that art students may
see and appreciate what other art
students are doing. It is hoped j
that instructors or heads of de- j
partments of these various schools I
and colleges may be feted at after- j
noon receptions during the time the
exhibit takes place.
When Geoffrey Chaucer put
his friar in the prologue of the
“Canterbury Tales,” he made a
villain of the churchman, but
did not expect to have the man
reduced to a fowl, as this lament
from a literature student would
indicate.
“That guy Chaucer didn’t think
the monk and the friar were
such hot numbers ,and when we
had to name two guys that Chau¬
cer didn’t think were so hot in
our tirad exam, I said the monk
and the fryer. When I got my
paper back it had ‘R. I. R...’ in
the margin, with an arrow run¬
ning in to ‘fryer.’ I wonder why
that teacher put tha there. A
guy told me yesterday it stood
for ‘Rhode Island Red.’ but I
still don't get the connection.”

‘Green Stockings’ Scene Is
Of Christenings of
Boy Friend
Buddy, Lamb-chop, Angel Boy
or Fido will soon me the pet names
of boy friends, if girls take the tip
j of Celia, leading lady in “Green
Stockings,” Bauble and Bells’ pro¬
duction, who has a special title for
her lover. But that is just one of
the many surprises you will see
and hear at the final staging of the
three-act comedy on November 10.
While the cast is rehearsing,
| other members of the club are
| doing their part to make this play
! a success.
Stage setting is being done by
members of the stage craft class of
Marshall junior high, under the di¬
rection of Mr.
У.
C. Howell, with
the stage crew of junior college as¬
sisting in the production.
“Splendid co-opei-ation is shown
between the students of the two
schools and it is expected that the
friendships resulting will do much
oward making Marshall students
feel at home in their future life at
P. J. C.” This is the opinion of
Miss Katherine Kester, who is di-
I rectir.g the play.
The make-up crew is selected
I from members of the class in play
I production, drama 52, which has
;just finished several weeks of
practical work in stage make-up.
Although each member is supposed
I to make up himself, a crew has

New Council American Education Week To Be
Emphasizes
Cooperation
Need of closer co-operation and
communication for all student
groups has developed into plans
for putting into effect the idea of
a general club council, presided
over by the student body president
and consisting of presidents from
all restrictive and non-restrictive
clubs.
Plans are also under way for
the formation of a non-restrict- j
ive club council. As the inter-
restrictive council has been a
means of cooperation to a great ,
extent, the addition of this new j
formation will carry out sudent |
activities on an even more ex- j
tensive scale.
The new group would stand |
ready to be called at any time to j
aid activities, such as rooting sec- !
tion formation, and the carnival j
next spring. A meeting will be |
held some time before Christmas.
In 1930 the general culb coun¬
cil was included in the organiza¬
tion plan here. Likewise it will '
be put into effect and appear in '
the now organization’s booklet, j
now being assembled. Individual j
club councils are not to be replaced
by the plan.
“The need for closer co-opera¬
tion in various school activities is
hoped to be met, through the gen¬
eral council, in communicating the
information to the representatives I
of small groups other than the
student body as a whole,” said |
Lambert Westling, student body i
president, who will be in charge
of the council meetings.

message requesting Dr. Harbeson
to participate.

Restrictive Clubs Must File
Accounts At College Bank
According to the state law, ac¬
counts of all student organiza¬
tions must be audited by respon¬
sible school officials, making it
mandatory that restrictive clubs
here must carry their accounts in
the school bank.
Previously the majority of the
restrictive clubs have had pri¬
vate accounts, but because this
system proved unsatisfactory at
times, a sincere effort will be
made by those in charge to main¬
tain a uniform system in P. J. C.
Miss Catherine J. Robbins, re¬
strictive club adviser, held a
meeting with the club presidents,
advisers, and with Walter E. Wil¬
cox, local treasurer, and Dr. J.
W. Harbeson, principal, Tuesday,
to discuss the new system.
Mr. Wilcox said, “We are at¬
tempting to make all accounting
uniform, so that both merchant
and
ош
may know that
transactions made with each
other are legitimate.
“As to the expenditure of the
club funds, the use of their
money will not be questioned,
unless the expenditure is
against administrative proced¬
ure.”
Dr. Harbeson stated, “The main
thing to consider is that the new
system comes at the recom¬
mendation of the auditor of the
student body funds at Pasadena
junior college, and is a feasible
scheme for the handling of re¬
strictive club money.”
Miss Robbins believes that the
new system will be received by
the clubs very readily. Lambert
Westling, student body presi¬
dent, thinks the banking with the
school will be of great benefit to
the clubs. Bob Simpson, senior
class president, said, “In order to
insure complete success, there
will have to be full cooperation.”
“The Child Who Slanders” is
the title chosen for this year’s
production of tell annual all-stud¬
ent drama, under the student co¬
direction of Frederick Jennison and
Willa Roberts, to be staged Friday,
December 15, during assembly
period.
The tentative cast is: Ada With¬
erspoon, played by Katherine
Louise Perry; Uncle Ezra Finchly,
Louise Perry. Uncle Ezra Finchly,
Norbert Bundschuh; Egbert Simp¬
son, George Bessolo, Minnie Gas- j
field, Virginia Daly; Squire Os-]
perfield, Virginia Daly; Squire Os-]
Tom Foolery, John Love; and i
Lemuel Witherspoon, Frederick
Jennison.
The play is being sponsored by
Archibald M. Wedemeyer, art de¬
partment head, and the dances are
under the supervision of Jane
Maxey, junior college student. The
play is centered about an old home¬
stead of 1890.

Educators to Talk
Over Problems
Of School
Discussion of Questions
Takes Place Week of
November 6 to 12
BY BUD PAULSON
Chronicle News Editor
Changing into the ranks of anti-
I educationists with almost uncanny
j rapidity and foresight, the Amer¬
ican Education Week, November
G to 12, will note instructors of
every rank and, position convening
in a nation-wide observance, to
discuss meeting the emergencies in
this field.
Monday, the first day of the
discussions, has been set' aside for
the complete analysis of the in-
j creased responsibilities of the
school. Recognition of the facts
that every child should have a
spiritual and moral training, an
! understanding and guarding of his
I personality, and, outside of the
realm of the institution, the love
and security of a home, has led
the speakers to stipulate this day
for a responsibility theme.
Financial Support
Pasadenans, and other sur¬
rounding residents, will be more
than usually interested in the
presentations on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Tuesday will see
the financial support of the
schools problem probed by the
precise minds of the greatest
I educators of the United States.
The discussions will work into
the local problems of the bond
issue and the reconstruction of
the junior college.
While on the subject of finances
—six important fields for investi¬
gation and improvement have been
suggested by ex-President Hoover’s
research committee on social
trends. School costs may be ade¬
quately reduced without the whole¬
sale slashing of curriclar offerings
and activities, as at many institu¬
tions throughout the country, by
going more deeply into the basic
structure of the institutions them¬
selves.
Careful preparation of specifica¬
tions for the purchase of equipment
and supplies, rigorous inspection of
deliveries, close study of necessary
purchases, and investigation into
the efficiency and necessity of
office personnel, a scientific appli¬
cation of the insurance policies,

'Campus’ Hue
To Be Brown
A brown cover will be used on
the Campus, junior college year¬
book, this year, according to Dick
Dewey, editor-in-chief. Brown ink
also is being used for the printing
of photographs.
Sophomores and seniors began
to receive their appointments for
photographs Wednesday. How-
lett studios, 343 East Green street,
are doing the photography work.
If students given appointments
cannot have their picture taken at
the designated time, they should
report to the Campus office in
203-D so that their appointments
can be given to other students.
O-le-ay-le-o!
Ah, Yodelers
Featuring this morning’s assem¬
bly under the direction of Miss
Lula Claire P arm ley, music chair¬
man, were the Swiss Alpine yodel¬
ers, who presented a novel and
amusing program. The Grobecker
sisters, who made up the chorus,
are well known and have presented
programs the country over.
Miss Elsie Grobecker, who is
recognized professionally, instruct¬
ed Constance Bennett and Lowell
Sherman in the cinema production,
“What Price Hollywood.”
The program was opened with
a skit from “Green Stockings,” the
Bauble and Bells production to be
presented at Marshall junior high,
November 10, under the direction
I of Miss Katharine Kester. Follow¬
ing this, the girls and men’s glee
[clubs made their first appearance
of this year, giving several selec¬
tions. There will be another oppor¬
tunity to hear the glee clubs in
a special assembly, for Armistice
I Day, it was announced.
