Eligibility Cards For ASB Officers Due Tomorrow Vol. 32 'Dulcy' Appears In Sexson Auditorium Saturday Evening No. 13 Thespians 'Dulcy' Cast Struggles Thru Final Rehearsal Week Struggling through rigorous rehearsals for the past few weeks has been the cast of Player’s Guild annual three-act play, “Dulcy.” Written by famous playwrights Kauffman and Connely, the PJC performance stars Marilyn Walker, of last year’s “Lady of the Shadows,” and Bill Burke, star of the late Crafty Hall. With a cast of twelve the show is directed by the Guild’s adviser, Elizabeth Flint, assisted by a large production staff. Now in its final rehearsals the show is set for this Saturday evening at S :30 p.m. in East Campus Sexson Auditorium. Assisting the leads, Miss Walker and Burke are such names as Bob Wollcot, Bob Gallagher and Eleanor Prosser. The play is of the brilliant comedy type for which Mr. Kauffman has long b.een famous, and is the story of a dizzy blonde, a gang of crooks, hoodlums and nuts. It promises to give a large PJC audience plenty of laughs. Tickets for the performance will be on sale tomorrow and all seats will be re¬ served. Admittance will be either by the 35 cent ticket or Stu¬ dent Body card. By this time familiar with the little banners which say “Laugh, Nov. 16,” the show will be no disappointment to stu¬ dents who attend. MotioQ-*1234S6- Debaters Cabinet, Board Clearing House Organized Long feeling the need for a clearing house between the ASB Board and the Cabinet, a coordi¬ nating committee has been set up, with five persons of the Cabi¬ net chosen to work with mem¬ bers of the administration. Suggested at the last Cabinet meeting on November 5 by Lou¬ ise McCastline, members of the committee are Dorothy Hoga- boon, Florence Lowe, Dale Hard¬ ing, and Louise McCastline, chairman. Dave Orswell moved that the Cabinet go on record as com¬ plaining about the Shieldmen and court members fooling around in the Student Body of¬ fices. It was also moved that the Cabinet demand that the sign “Two Gun Sam” be taken down. The motion was carried. The meeting was concluded by Peter Paulson handing out page¬ ant tickets to sell. Records Office Swamped By Thousands of Slips FromD Et and F'ers Perhaps the football season has discouraged PJC students or perhaps it has just been the weather, but whatever the cause the records office was swamped under the D, E, and F slips turn¬ ed in by teachers last week. Fully 30 per cent of the Jay- see enrollment fell below aver¬ age during the first triad, one of the largest ever turned in. Trans¬ lated into numbers this would be something over 2000.

PJC will send a delegation of students variously expert in ex¬ temporaneous, debate, oratorical, impromptu, progressive, confer¬ ence and after dinner speaking. All students may tryout Tues¬ day, November 12, in Room 164 C from two through five p.m. Contestants will then be chos¬ en to represent the Junior Col¬ lege next November 18, 19 and 20 at Los Angeles. French Soiree Wednesday Wednesday eve, in the Little Theater, 30-C, a group of French language students are putting on what they term a “magnificente productione.” With comedy predominating, this annual show features skits, songs, and poems — all presented in French with occasional Eng¬ lish summaries of more difficult passages. Said Mr. Wiley, faculty “charge d’ affaires,” "... the entire show is put on by stu¬ dents for students.” Because of the desire to serve refreshments afterwards, there will be an ad¬ mission charge of 5 cents. The public is invited. Board Passes Mandamus Rule Various organizations of PJC are now guaranteed prompt ac¬ tion by the ASB officers when their services are requested. A Writ of Mandamus was present¬ ed and declared effective during a meeting of the ASB Board, Tuesday, at the West Campus. Warren Allen proposed the ar¬ ticle which reads "An order of performance may be issued by any supreme court justice com¬ pelling any ASB officer to ful¬ fil his duties. Failure to comply would constitute contempt of court; a misdemeanor.” In the future, the article will be included in a court procedure which is now being drawn up by the board. The board, last Tuesday, also agreed to send Harlan Erickson and Jerry Adams, as representa¬ tives, to the San Francisco game. Tops Guild PAUL CARROLL Carroll To Stage 'Which Way Is Up' Early Next Year Traditional at PJC is the an¬ nual student dramatic produc¬ tion. While this year’s effort still remains shrouded in secrecy, re¬ liable sources predict that it will have a greater resemblance to a Broadway production than any¬ thing heretofore presented at PJC. Paul Carroll, producer and di¬ rector, states that a talent search is taking place in order to re¬ cruit dancers, actors, acrobats, musicians, composers, et al. Try¬ outs will take place 3:00 p.m. this afternoon and Friday. "Which Way Is Up,” tentative name for the new production, is scheduled for presentation next February 7. Faculty advisers for the project are William Payne, Wayne Hodges, William Evans, and Milton Mohs. Student advis¬ ers will be Charlie Allen, David Davis, and Robert ben Ali. Engineering Films Regular Wednesday Feature on East Campus Two films on power trans¬ formers and salt mining will be shown in the Sexson Audito¬ rium tomorrow at 12 noon, though these films are primar¬ ily for the benefit of the en¬ gineering students, others inter¬ ested are invited to come. The film on power transform¬ ers will show the principles of operation, the history, and manu¬ facture of transformers. The other film will show the audi¬ ence the process of bringing salt from the mine to your table. These engineering films are a regular Wednesday noon faeture on the East Campus. Engineers Hear Flood Control Talk President Bert Morris and the Engineering Club last Tuesday presented Mr. McKenzie of the City of Pasadena Engineering Department.

Fifteen Cents Language Dept Announces Sound Film Showing The Foreign Language Depart¬ ment of the Pasadena Junior Col¬ lege announces two perform¬ ances of the Spanish sound film "Odio” on Monday, Novemmber 18, at 3:30 and at 8:00 p.m., in the John A. Sexson auditorium. This film inspired by George Eliot’s famous novel “The Mill and the Floss,” shows the har¬ vest of hate that results from a father’s unreasoning pride — hate that blasts the lives of an entire family Hardship and suffering after many years teach the les¬ son that hate is futile. EASILY UNDERSTOOD Character portrayals and ac¬ tion are well presented. Ready understanding of the Spanish dia¬ logue is made possible by the descriptive English subtitles. A short travel film, "Guadalajara,” will be presented with “Odio.” It takes the audience to the fasci¬ nating city second only to the capital in size, and thought by many to be the most interesting city in Mexico. The price of admission is fif¬ teen cents. Tickets are available from Spanish students or at the box office. PJC Joins Rush All Possible Aid To Britain Program At this time everyone of us has a chance to directly help a nation torn by war in the cause of that which is the uppermost principle of our country, individ¬ ual freedom. Schools, churches, clubs, civic organizations, and individuals are all cooperating with the Salva¬ tion Army in its drive to obtain usable clothes and bedding for the beleaguered English. Each student is asked to bring at least one good, clean, serviceable gar¬ ment to the Student Union build¬ ing on either campus. These clothes are being shipped to New York by rail, and immediately thence to Great Britain. Some have responded to this call, but many more clothes can readily be used. By complying, we shall be not only befriending a country sorely in need, but shall be assisting the cause of democracy. Certainly it is not too much that we should give a spare garment for that which thousands are giving their lives. Theta Rho Pi Accepts Six Six fortunate students of ra¬ dio, who have shown outstand¬ ing talent in two or more radio shows and passed the scrutiny of a board of judges, took oath of membership in Theta Rho Pi, honorary radio organization, Fri¬ day, November 8.

Analyst Facto Sees Eventual Russian, German Battle There is little danger for Eng¬ land in an attempted invasion. Germany and Russia will eventu¬ ally fight for the control of Eu¬ rope. The Allies should have at¬ tacked Germany at the time of the Munich conference, because they would then have had the help of Russia. These s o-m e w h a t startling statements represent the opin¬ ions of Dr. Leo Facto, analyst of world affairs and teacher of Cur¬ rent Problems classes at PJC. During the summer of 1939 Dr. Facto was commissioned by the Carnegie Institute to travel through Europe and attend lec¬ tures on mternationl peace. Iron¬ ically enough, he stayed to see the beginning of the present war manifested by the sandbagging of doorways and boarding up of windows in the Hague, Holland, and similar preparations in Lon¬ don. Forced to stay in London because of a delay in baggage transit, Dr. Facto expected an attack on that city comparable to the one it has just been suffer¬ ing. Dr. Facto’s academic back¬ ground is almost as broad as his experience, including as it does an M.A. from Columbia Univer¬ sity and a doctor’s degree from USC. Having majored in social sciences ever since his college days, he now teaches social sci¬ ence subjects on both campuses. Here's This Week's Campus Artist Series Music Building Joyce Chase . Soprano Doris Martens . Pianist John Walser . Baritone These will present a solo and duet program Friday during the assembly period.

Newly elected officers are: Clarence Thurber, president ; Robert Tilden (E) and Elizabeth Meyer (W), vice president; Caryl Ritterrath (E) and Marcia Ab¬ bott (W), secretary, and Don Barry (E) and Ruth McMillen (W), treasurer. Riveters AT A Awakens Public Interest In Defense Act In days when national defense is uppermost in the public mind, ATA, a non-restrictive -club for aeronautical students, is doing its share in awakening public in¬ terest in the key defense indus¬ try of the United States. Few PJC students know of the Aero Tech Association, members of which are now building an airplane in PJC’s shops with a prospective speed of 240 miles an hour, fewer still know that ATA holds open-house daily for those interested in aerotechnics. On the Student Union quad Wednesday during the noon pe¬ riod, two ATA pledges, Jack Stecker and Merger Dietzel, will demonstrate riveting and other steps in plane construction using for their model a tail assembly. The association invites all those students interested to come to these demonstrations during that period. Lee Writer Elected Ad Club President Lee Writer, assistant advertis¬ ing manager for Chronicle, was elected president of the Ad Club last Tuesday. The club, organized to give members experience in advertising and salesmanship, meets again Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 3 p.m. in 107 West Campus.
