Groups У ie For Prizes With the double incentive of a cash prize of $5.00 and a silver loving cup to be presented to the winning club, the attendance con¬ test, sponsored by the organiza¬ tions committee is now well under way, according to Bill Weil, secre¬ tary of organizations. November 2 marked the opening date and until December 2 all or¬ ganizations, both restrictive and non-restrictive, will vie for the besi score in daily attendance. To the club having the second highest score will go two dollars and to the third highest, one dollar. A check will be made of the atten¬ dance of each member of all or¬ ganizations entered in the contest. Registration blanks may be se¬ cured from Weil, and all clubs not registered should do so immedi¬ ately. Tabulation will be made by the organizations committee on Decem¬ ber 4 and 5, working with Mrs. White in her office. Winners in the contest will be announced the following week when the awards will be made. The purpose of the contest, ac¬ cording to Weil, is to promote a better attendance record for the entire junior college, as each ab¬ sence, besides being a detriment to the individual student’s scholastic record, lowers the funds provided by the state for the school. ART GROUP HOLDS FORMAL INITIATION Formal initiation of the Zeta Gamma Phi, honorary art club, was held last Tuesday evening, No¬ vember 3, at the home of James Hawkins, president. New members initiated were Rae Colvin, Thomas Laursen, Ruth Medaris-Wolfe, Gen¬ evieve McLean, Castleman Wilson, Don Kubly and Jane Hare. Other members of the club pres¬ ent were C.iarles Reynolds, Frieda Klassen, Phoebe Howell, Charles Lesher, James Hawkins, Jane Ha- zenbush, Bob Dickinson and Lila Renner. Alumni of the club were also invited to attend. Following the initiation there was a short business meeting, re¬ freshments and dancing. Sponsor Dean of Guidance Ida E. Hawes, who acts as adviser for the Vo- Mag, vocational magazine. Over 1700 copies were sold on the day of issuance. 1770 Copies Of Vo-Mag Go On Sale Science, Theme Of First Magazine For This Semester - ♦ - - Science was the theme of the first Vo-Mag, publication of the guidance department of Pasadena junior college, which went on sale last Wednesday with 1770 copies to be distributed to the student body. Carter Cordner and Jaimes Hawkins edited the magazine, and Miss Ida E. Hawes, dean of gui¬ dance, acted as adviser Both Miss Mabel Peirson, life science chairman, and Bailey W. Howard, head of the physical sci¬ ence department, acted in an ad¬ visory capacity thus assuring the issue the scientific note it endea¬ vored to attain, according to Cord¬ ner. Sales were conducted by John Pettingall, business manager, and James Guihan, sales and subscrip¬ tion heads. The junior and fresh¬ man classes, directed by Philip Cartwright and Bob Braden, pres¬ idents, sold the forty page maga¬ zine through the medium of a con¬ test that included the two science groups. Vincent Guinn and John Winn acted as vocational associ¬ ates. According to Ned F. Stirling, publications department chairman and adviser to the publication staff, “the issue achieved a note of sci¬ entific accuracy that has been the aim of its first number of each semester since the magazine was first introduced upon the campus five years ago. Articles by author¬ ities in numerous fields of science complement student work, and the feeling has been expressd that the magazine will once again hit the top ranks of college publications as it has in years past.” Actual sales figures are not available at the present, according to Business Manager Pettingall, as many subscriptions entail a maxi¬ mum of time and accounting to register and record. However, the edition is nearly exhausted and, he said, anyone desirous of obtaining a copy should do so at once. They are on sale at the student book store for twenty-five cents; sub¬ scriptions for the three issues are sixty cents. Concerts To Begin Soon Sponsored by the Junior League of Pasadena with the cooperation of the board of education, the elev¬ enth season of Young People’s Symphony concerts will begin De¬ cember 4. Otto Klemperer, famous conduc¬ tor, will conduct the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra at the first two concerts. The Vienna Boys’ choir will present the third con¬ cert. Other concerts will be pre¬ sented by the Pasadena junior col¬ lege symphony orchestra and the Pasadena Civic orchestra. SCI-MATH LECTURE DATE IS CHANGED Postponed to the night of No¬ vember 24 is the first Sci-Math lec¬ ture of the year, according to Da¬ vid M. Spaulding, instructor in the biological science department, and president of the organization. The subject of the lecture, which is this time sponsored by the as¬ tronomy section of Sci-Math, is “Pouring, Annealing and Grinding the 200-Inch Disk.” The lecture will be delivered by Dr. F. G. Pease, and will include an explan¬ ation of the new telescope which will soon be set up on Palomar mountain, San Diego county. Chartered Train Will Leave For Game This Afternoon In order that students may see the football game between the Pasadena and Ventura junior college varsities tonight, the pep com¬ mission has chartered a special train that will leave for Ventura from the corner of Broadway and Green streets at 3:15 p. m. immedi¬ ately after sixth period this afternoon, revealed Jack Page, chairman of the pep commission. Arriving in Ventura about an hour before the game, a rooting section may be organized to rep¬ resent Pasadena junior college, ac¬ cording to Page. After the football team has dressed the train will leave Ventura to arrive in Pasa¬ dena about 1:00 a. m. Saturday morning. Diner On Trip There will be a diner in which students may purchase meals. Members of the Frosh class making- the trip have decided to band to¬ gether and occupy one car. Offi¬ cials on the trip will have the use of an observation car which will be the last car on the train. Band and football team members will travel apart from the rest of the students in their respective cars. School regulations will apply to those taking the trip, and students wearing “official badges” are au¬ thorized, as well as the Southern Pacific uniformed officers, to main¬ tain order. “Cooperation with these officers will make the trip a successful one, and will go far toward making other excursions possible,” said Sam Schwartz, stu¬ dent body president. To date the number of students making the trip is breaking the record set by the previous train trip to Ventura last year. This is made possible by the low price of $1.25 cents per person for a round trip as the regular rates for round trips to Ventura is about twice that amount, said Page. Tick¬ ets may be purchased at the school bank in the student union building. “I hope students will act like students should, because if we show good conduct we’ll be able to travel with the team next year,” said Jack Page. Chaperones for the trip will be Mr. and Mrs. Milton C. Mohs, Mr. and Mrs. Edward D. Comelison, Mr. and Mrs. Max B. Harlow, Mr. and Mrs. Bob McNeish, Mr. and Mrs. Otto B. Anderson and Earl Holder. Two uniformed officers of the Southern Pacific railroad com¬ pany will also be on the train, ac¬ cording to Miss Catherine J. Rob¬ bins, dean of women. Membership Drive Slated Pot-Luck Supper Planned By Air-Coeds For Tuesday Night In conjunction with a member¬ ship drive which will start next week, the Air Co-eds, women’s avi¬ ation club, will hold a potluck sup¬ per meeting on Tuesday, November 10, at 6 p. m. at the home of Ruth Anderson, 2034 Beverley drive. Dick Allen, flying instructor and A. T. Hay, aeronautics instructor and adviser, will be guests of hon¬ or at the meeting. Each member now enrolled is asked to bring as many women students and teachers to the sup¬ per as possible, as there are many opportunities open to a larger group which are not available for a small club of this type. Mr. Hay mentioned several of these opportunities at a meeting held Tuesday afternoon in 117-T. Among them are a special demon¬ stration and explanation of the wind tunnel located in the technical laboratories here at school, as well as the larger tunnel located at Cal Tech; the showing of aerial films by transport companies and other large concerns; excursions to flying fields and airplane manufacturing plants in the southland and talks by famous men and women pilots. The above and many more are pro¬ grams that can and will be ar¬ ranged as soon as the membership is sufficiently enlarged. At the suggestion of Mr. Hay, it was decided to investigate the pos¬ sibilities of sponsoring a weekly dance at the Civic auditorium. Jane Summers was appointed to be in charge of arrangements. Claire McKesson was appointed to de¬ sign posters which will be turned over to the art department to paint. Katherine Blake, in charge of the menu for Tuesday’s supner an¬ nounced that anyone, whether al¬ ready a member or not, may sign up for what he wishes to bring on a list located on the bulletin board opposite Miss Robbins’ office.

Bob Stapleton, music committee head, said, “Don Cave and his or¬ chestra will furnish the music for this affair, and it is expected that his popular orchestra will make a good showing.” Bids Sold Bids for the dance, which are now being sold by sophomore coun¬ cil members, follow the theme by offering such individual dances as the “Snake Dance,” “The Dance of the Gods,” and “Custer’s Last Stand.” The bids were designed by Bar¬ bara Nichols, and will be on sale at the door, since the affair is to be Spen to the entire student body, according to Jessup. According to Barbara Patten, who is in charge of decorating the room in which the dance will be held, the decora¬ tions will aid in carrying out the theme. This dance is the first affair of its type which any of the classes have sponsored so far this year, and it is hoped that the dance "will be a successful opening to the so¬ cial season of the various classes, according to Jessup. “Don Cave’s orchestra has played at many of the southland night spots during the past several years, and he is familiar to junior college students. His orchestra has played at the Civic auditorium in the past, and he was well received,” was the comment made by Staple- ton on the selection of the orches¬ tra. YWCA Gets New Official Because Miss Loreta Melton left for the north to accept another po¬ sition, Miss Mary Estus, of the Pas¬ adena Civic league, will act as the new Y. W. C. A. secretary for this year, according to Jeanne Bobo, president of the Y.

Gives Work In response to the notice in the Chronicle last week, encouraging business students to apply for jobs, there were 40 or 50 apnlicants in the first three days, according to Leland M. Pryor, chairman of the business education department. “I have been able to place one student in a full time job during this short time, and have placed many in part time jobs,” said Mr. Pryor. A permanent job placement bur¬ eau, which will place students in good paying positions of all types, will probably be established in the near future. It will be enlarged to serve all vocational departments such as business education, tech¬ nology and dentist’s assistants. Those junior college students who wish to apply for a job are requested to register with Mr. Pry¬ or at his office, located on the sec¬ ond floor of the women’s gym. Many requests for students to fill jobs which require no business education, are received by James P. O’Mara. dean of men, and stu¬ dents who wish these jobs should see Mr. O’Mara in his office in the administration building.
