Student discussion
invited by Chron panel
With war imminent, with yourself likely to be one of the
young: men sacrificed to greedy Mars, what is your opinion on the
subject? How would you go about keeping America out of the
war, or bringing permanent peace to the world?
In the Chronicle editorial column is set forth the Chronicle’s
idea on this question.
In the Chronicle’s panel discussion this afternoon you may
bring forth your own ideas. The panel will be held from 4 — 6 pm
in room 104D. You owe it to your own future to be there, as only
through a discussion of the problem and a decision on the neces¬
sary course of action can anything be done.
The panel, led by Chronicle editor Dale Clayton, will include
Dick Thurber, Bob Overstreet, Bob Gillette and Bay Cole.

GEARALD P. NYE
Senator Nye's talk
Preparedness for
Peace" at Forum
Senator Gerald P. Nye (Rep.,
N.D.) direct from the special ses¬
sion of Congress recently called
by President Roosevelt to alter
the neutrality act, will speak on
“Preparedness for Peace” Tues¬
day evening at eight o’clock on
the Forum series in the east cam¬
pus auditorium.
In his official position as chair¬
man of the Munitions Investiga¬
tion committee, Senator Nye has
assumed the leadership in the
movement to keep America out
of war. He has one of the highest
honors that can be bestowed on
an American in the Cardinal
Newman award which he was
given at the University of Illinois
in 1935 for distinguished Ameri¬
can service.
PUBLISHER
A son of a country newspaper
editor and postmaster, he was
virtually brought up in a print
shop and in 1911 upon high school
graduation, began his career as
publisher of a small town news¬
paper in Wisconsin. Four years
later he moved to Creston, Iowa,
and finally purchased the Fry-
burg (North Dakota) Pioneer, a
weekly newspaper published in
Billings county, made famous as
the seat of Teddy Roosevelt’s
ranching exploits.
As editor he constantly at¬
tacked the wrongs done the
farmers by the Minneapolis
wheat gamblers. He berated
banking interests and railroads,
fought a powerful state machine
bossed by millionaire Louis B.
Hanna, and helped elect Lynn
Frazieras the first governor
backed by the Non-Partisan
league.
SENATE APPOINTMENT
When Governor Sorlie, in 1925,
appointed Nye to succeed Sena¬
tor Ladd to the United States
Senate, he encountered unex¬
pected difficulties in getting into
the Senate. No special election
was called and Nye arrived in
Washington to find the Senate
door closed to him. From Decem¬
ber until May the Senate argued
and then finally voted Nye a seat
by a vote of 41 to 39. Later Nye
was elected by the people of
North Dakota to represent them.

Alice Marble tells
women life rules
at AWS meeting
by CAROL BORTIN
Alice Marble, youthful women’s
tennis champion, speaking to
delegates of the eleventh annual
AWS-WAA convention at the Vis¬
ta del Arroyo hotel last Saturday,
pointed out in a play-by-play
comparison with tennis, the rules
of life as a game and a job.
In keeping with the theme of
the convention, “The Responsibil¬
ity of College Women Today,” Dr.
W. O. Mendenhall, president of
Whittier college, said, “Woman’s
job is to educate herself by learn¬
ing to understand and appreciate
her life so she may give to com¬
ing civilization the best possible
background.”
LANCERS HELP
The 365 conventioneers at the
Vista were greeted by a recep¬
tion committee of Pasadena
women, and were assisted by PJC
Lancers acting as porters. Comp¬
ton junior college women, host¬
esses of the convention, took
charge of the banquet, luncheon
and entertainment programs.
After Friday night’s activities,
the banquet, a social gathering
and private gab-fests in the Vista
rooms, the women of the 18 jun¬
ior colleges met Saturday morn¬
ing for small group conferences,
and in the round table discussions
presented problems and their so¬
lutions as found in the various
schools.
PLAN OTHER MEETS
Pasadena delegates Mable
Prouty and Barbara McColm be¬
came so enthqsed that they have
planned meetings in the near fu¬
ture with some of the neighbor¬
ing junior colleges to continue
the discussion of student body
government problems.
Students will read in the Chron¬
icle about new policies in
women’s athletics and student
government which will be at¬
tempted in the near future as a
result of the talks.
Advisers and deans attending
were Miss Catherine J. Robbins,
Miss Olive Kelso, Miss Pauline
Brown and Miss Elizabeth Caul-
kins.

PLAY LEADS IN 'BACHELOR BORN'
ill
PJC speakers bureau
to give experience
A speakers bureau, to provide
student speakers for business
men’s and other Pasadena clubs,
is being set up by William Evans,
debate coach.
Academic departments and or¬
ganizations of the school have
been requested to submit the
names of two well-informed and
able speakers each. Public speak¬
ing classes provide two apiece.
Individual students may also ap¬
ply for positions on this list.
When downtown organizations
wish to hear talks on various sub¬
jects, they will be able to consult
the list and obtain speakers on
short notice.
“The bureau will, in addition to
giving good experience to partici¬
pating students and making valu¬
able contacts for them, prove a
good public relations instrument,”
Mr. Evans commented.
MARILYN WALKER
To Rosemary Farrington, the
oldest of three sisters, befalls
the fate of falling in love with
Philip De Pourville, youngest
professor in a school for boys!
To Marilyn Walker, the chance
to play this part is the ‘big
chance of a lifetime!”
Marilyn, pretty PJC junior,
has planned to be a music
teacher, but upon receiving the
romantic lead in “Bachelor
Born,” she has turned her life
ambition to drama.
Miss Walker is a Los Angeles
girl, a native daughter. Her
course at PJC includes a music
major and a drama minor,
though this play is the start
of her career.

PAUL CARROLL
After playing 10 consecutive
roles as a doctor, Paul Carroll,
dramatic lead in “Bachelor
Born” has finally been “gradu¬
ated.”
Charles Donkin, head master
of a boys’ school in England,
as interpreted by Mr. Carroll, is
a serious, yet comic, role.
Born in Yokohama, Paul has
from the age of twelve, been
closely associated with drama.
His chosen vocation is creative
playwriting however. He has
written two three-act plays,
which were produced in Alham¬
bra, “The Lady Walks,” and
“The Long Time.”
SCHOOLS' LIGHT SIDE IN
PLAYERS GUILD COMEDY
The Pacific coast’s premiere performance of “Bachelor Born,” a
three-act comedy , by Ian Hay, will be presented by the Players guild
of Pasadena junior college, on Saturday evening, November 18. The
doors of PJC’s east campus auditorium will open at 8:30.
“This play is a delightful comedy, distinctly a departure from
the unpleasant side of school life and adolescence usually pictured,
and promises an evening of fun and entertainment,” Miss Elizabeth
Flint, adviser of Players guild and director of the play announced.
Tickets may be obtained from the school bank beginning Tues¬
day, November 14.
GIRLS INVADE BOYS’ DORM
Students and their friends may receive tickets in exchange for
ticket No. 26, or for 35 cents. Incidental music throughout the enter¬
tainment wifi be presented by the Pasadena junior college symphony
orchestra, under the direction of Milton C. Mohs.
Charles Donkin, master of the Red house at Marbledon school,
believes that “humanity” is the keynote in handling the problems
of 300 boys. Complications arise when his three young wards, the
Farrington sisters, come to live with him in his bachelor retreat,
part of which is a dormitory housing 54 of the boys!
The part of the schoolmaster is taken by Paul Carroll. Dr. Oving-
ton, the nearest thing to a villain, is played by Lamont Johnson. The
three Farrington sisters, Rosemary, Chris and Button, disturbing
elements in the life of the school, are played by Marilyn Walker,
Maxine Rogers and Marian Sprott.
KRAL HAS LEAD
These characters are supported by the following cast: Bimbo
Farrington is played by Ward Wood; Victor Beamish by Harold
Wolff; Frank Hastings by William Burke; Ellen by Bernice Morten-
son; Barbara Fane by Dorothea Streib; and the matron by Betty
Litz.
The male romantic lead Phillip De Pourville, is played by Grenes
Krai; “Flossie” Nightingale, by J. C. England; Sir Berkeley Nightin¬
gale by Donald Bernstein; Travers, Harold Brittain; “Pop,” Jerry
Jones; and “Old Crump,” William Harvey.
dead in Armistice assembly today
by DICK THURBER
Pasadena junior college will speak to the world to day in
a 15-minute broadcast over KHJ from the Armistice day as¬
sembly for Moral Re-Armament. With the memory of the 19
PJC students who died in the world war, the message of
Moral Re-Armament is signifi¬
cantly timely.
In the words of Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd on the eve of
his recent departure for the Ant-
artic, “I want to say that this way
lies the hope for peace. Moral
Re-Armament — the fight for a
new world, strong, clean, united —
should fire the hearts of all red-
blooded Americans and spur their
hearts to action.”
SINGERS, BAND
The Euterpean singers and a
picked group from the Bulldog
band will be featured on the pro¬
gram with student speakers on
Moral Re-Armament.
What is Moral Re- Armament?
It is a new determination on the
part of individuals for hate-free,
fear -free, greed-free, living.
MRA BIRTH
Moral Re-Armament was born
out of crisis in the mind of an
American, Dr. Frank N. D. Buch-
man. Within a matter of weeks
after its inception, the fire had
caught and was ablaze in more
than 60 countries. King Leopold
of Belgium joined with Queen
Wilhelmina of Holland in calling
the 100,000,000 people of Europe’s
smaller nations to mobilize for
MRA.
Today’s assembly will be led by
Barbara McColm, activities chair¬
man, and will include young
speakers from Scotland, Scandi¬
navia, Canada and eastern United
States, Dr. John W. Harbeson,
principal, Granville Lee, Le-
land Holland and Christine
Hanks.

ing the music of Wayne Richards’

Minnesota, a resort of statewide

South Euclid avenue, is to become

turnstiles and RR tickets.

forty cents per person. Sopho¬
mores are being issued free bids;

CHAIRMAN
Chairman in charge of arrange¬

more President Norm Bennett.

‘Is my hair straight?’, ‘Do I look all right?’, ‘Gee, but I’m
scared!’, these were but a few of the 'comments made as 4000 girls

court of the Tournament of Roses during their regular gym periods
this week.

and Thursday west campus, girls came before student and tourna¬
ment officials to be picked out for the semi-finals next week. All of

forty girls to be picked for the semi-finals.
The preliminary tryouts were judged on the basis of the girls’
general appearance. If they are picked for next week’s contests
they will be judged on poise, carriage, voice and ability to face a
camera, microphone and an audience.
The preliminaries were judged by members of the student body
board, members of the faculty, Tournament of Roses official judges,
and the girls of the court last year. For the semi-finals and the
final picking, Tournament of Roses officials will judge.
