East and West campus vied for honors but lost out to the clever “Bird in a Gilded Cage” staged by Ventura JC. Saturday morning was given over to lecture and general dis¬ cussion groups which met to talk over such varied subjects as: “Marriage Problems To¬ day,” “Preparing for Work in Post-War Period,” “Practical (Continued on Page 3) CAROL HARFORD . . . faces war-youth problems Youth At War War Council Gives Group Discussion Ever-pressing question in minds of adults, “What is the Student’s Attitude Toward War?” was answered at last Monday's meet¬ ings of Patron’s Association by five students and chairman.

Reason: the ASB budget was going under the knife. “Doc” Perkins had a job on his hands. To get his four man committee together in one spot long enough to discuss the operation was a feat in itself, to withstand the terriffic lobbying he was subjected to by nearly every campus organization added to the tears. But the anesthetic-less extraction was performed, the Board of Representatives approved, and results below released for publication information. Undergoing deeper slashes than previous years have de¬ manded, the student budget was whittled to $56,282.39, a total cut of $8,403.40. Stated Bill Price, five by five Secretary of finance, “Campus organizations will have to accept decreases as all cuts have been necessitated by loss of football gate re¬ ceipts and other deficiencies.” ALLOTMENTS TO STUDENT BODY CONTROL ACCOUNTS Activities . . . $ 255.00 Assoc.

(Continued on Page 3) No Homework New Courses Attempt War Explanation Designed to take up problems of the war, its background, a new course was inaugurated in the So¬ cial Science curriculum second triad of this semester. Besides lectures, this three unit course, “Issues and Aims of the War,” includes films and transcriptions in order that there will be no homework, is under the direction of Dr. William Langsdorf. A second new course, “Amer¬ ica and a World at War,” will be started next semester, lends an attempt to interpret current events in the light of long term significance, will tend to give emphasis on map study. These courses are to be offered to all twelfth, year students and upper division students, intended for non-Social Sciece majors so that they may be kept abreast of the times, according to Dr. Langsdorf. Classes will be held on both campuses. Alternate members of the Social Science Department will instruct. "Slick Six" Early AMS Feed Brings Navy Ensign Free from pretty phrases, bugle-sounded incentives, to en¬ list, frank words of Ensign Wil¬ liam Dootson, USNR, spoken be¬ fore the combined AMS Break¬ fast Club and 50 service-reserve students this morning did more to instill an urge to be in on the kill, than the oft-repeated words characteristic of recruiting offi¬ cers. Completing his naval fight training just recently at Corpus Christi, Texas, Dootson pulls out Sunday morning for parts un¬ known, leaves many desirous of following not far behind. Co-presided over by president Bob Harbison of the newly or¬ ganized service club, and AMS vice-prexy Don Henney, the 8:00 o’clock cereal and cocoa breakfast in the cafeteria brought the two organizations together for the first time. Plans, purposes, pins, of the service group, automatic¬ ally including in membership all PJC students enlisted in military reserve, were discussed by V-l- man Harbison. “Stong’s Slick Six,” musical instrumentalists, provided breakfast music. Furth¬ er meetings of the reserve or¬ ganization will be announced in the Chronicle. Scrap Drive Winds Up As Students See Refuse Bins Loaded English Department Cooperates With Fheads, Urges Glass i — lei p Speculators in the AMS salvage drive have until three o’clock this afternoon to lay bets on their favorite organi¬ zation, Don Henney, AMS vice-prexy and promoter, announces. Those riding the winner will receive an appropriate prize early next week, following posting of final results late today. Wag¬ ers are being filed in Dean of Men Stong’s office, generally consist of a suitable piece of scrap such as aluminum buckets, assorted keys, tire rims, etc. AMS Board did much to instill lagging spirit into PJC students who piled the scrap high in bins on both campuses during final week of drive. A huge poster constructed by Henney himself, has adorned the east side of the student union all week, carries official daily returns regarding the progress of the race. Each contestant is a mem¬ ber of the AMS board, rides his particular represented organiza¬ tion. Contestants and respective clubs include Ray Walker, Charles Edison, Class of ’43 and ’44; Cliff Sharp, Chuck Bla¬ lock, Class of ’45 and ’46; Bill Anthony, ROTC Guards; Jim Herndon, Bulldog Band; Rich Frank, Riccy Council; Stan Ju- leen, Argonauts; Hilly Stong, Lancers;; Hal Bosacki, Athlet¬ ics; Tom Stanton, Don Henny, Claud O’Haver, Roger Wood, Jack Wyche, Bob May, AMS of¬ ficers. All scrap collected will go into the entire school’s collection, be¬ ing compiled in tar-roofed bins north of the Student Union. Sudden response from students was attributed to whole-hearted cooperation of English Depart¬ ment scrap committees which were formed in each English class. Salvage groups peped up class members, deposited scrap brought in by fellow students, each period. Other methods of inspiring students included milk-bottles for keys, scavenger hunts con¬ ducted on Armistice Day, while some teachers ordered “no homework” for pupils if scrap was brought in on the following day. Various organizations on cam¬ pus conducted specific drives each day. Chairman, Bob Mc¬ Carthy of East Campus and Bob Graff of West Campus stated that the “drive was a success.” Donated by PJC, the scrap will be collected by the Pasadena Sal¬ vage Committee. Spiritual Father McCarthy Addresses Convocation On Divine Love Speaker Is Adviser Of Newman Club And Graduate Of Catholic University Of America Change of theme occurs in today’s Convocation when Reverend Thomas McCarthy, assistant pastor of St. Phillips Church, adviser of PJC’s Newman Club, addresses the student body on “The Power of Spiritual Love in the Life of Each Student.” Father McCarthy believes that Spiritual Love should have great influence on the life of every student, and that in a crisis such as this students are unable to grasp the significance of its importance. His address today will dwell mainly on these points. Managing Editor of the “Tidings,” official document of the Los Angeles Archdiocies,' Father McCarthy is « well qualified speaker having recently graduated from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D. C. Father McCarthy is a Graduate Fellow in Psy¬ chology and Psychiatry of the Rockefeller Child Clinic in New York. Father McCarthy will be introduced by James O’Mara on the West Campus, and in Dr. John Harbeson’s absence by Mr. Rufus Mead on the East Campus. All students with 9 o’clock classes are required to attend. LT. COL. С. E.
