Jack Jamieson, Chronicle staff artist, sketches the proposed $125,000 Student Union
Building as it will look when completed. An idea of the size may be gained by compari¬
son with the present student union, which is the small one story east wing (marked
with an “X”) in the above sketch. The huge structure will be built from this east
wing toward Hill Street. Once a week the Chronicle will carry feature articles dealing
with the accomodations of PJC’s new Student Union.

and Marc Connelly. The charac¬
ter Dulcinea was first created
by Franklin P. Adams in his
newspaper column, "The Conning
Tower.” "DUlcy” as created by
Mr. Adams was a scatterbrain¬
ed female who reveled in the ex¬
pounding of familiar quotations.
Kaufmann, seeing the dramatic
possibilities of such a character,
collaborated with Connelly and
in five weeks the famous play
was ready for production. The
famous actress, Lynn Fontanne,
was the first “Dulcy.”
In the stage play, Dulcinea is
a fluffy oddball who means well,
but succeeds in generally throw¬
ing a monkey wrench in her
friends’ lives. Her husband is a
tortured soul who is attempting
a business merger with a giant
jewelry concern. He wants to
sell them synthetic pearls. At a
week-end gathering of the com¬
mercial parties involved, Dul¬
cinea is directly responsible for
a 'robbery, elopement, a case of
lunacy, and an advanced stage
of nervous prostration on the
part of one of her helpless
guests. However, in the end
everything turns out for the best.

Politics
Student Board
Moves Election
Day To Jan. 6
Threat of a lame duck ad¬
ministration caused the Stu¬
dent Board of Representa¬
tives to hurriedly move back
the date of student body elec¬
tions from November 27 to
the week of January 6. Sev¬
eral board members brought
out the undersirability of
electing a complete new set
of student body officers in
November and not having
the new administration take
office until February.
DEADLINE MOVED
Final deadline for eligibility
cards was moved back from No¬
vember 13 to December 13. This
extra month will give many stu¬
dent body leaders time to make
up low grades caused by exces¬
sive extra-curricular work dur¬
ing the first triad. All eligibility
cards now on file will be de¬
stroyed.
Election date was advanced to
November 27 upon the recom¬
mendation of the Deans of Men,
Women and Records, and former
Elections Commissioner “Swish”
Ogura last spring, because the
elections were too close to se¬
mester exams on the calendar.
However, this year two weeks
elapse between the new election
date (the week of January 6)
and final exams on the week of
January 27.
ALLEN EXPLAINS
Attorney General Warren Al¬
len explained the difference be¬
tween student body and organiz¬
ation offices. “Minor AMS and
AWS offices are organization of¬
fices and should not be placed
on the student ballot at the ex¬
pense of the student body,” Allen
stated. AWS President Kitty
Eastman volunteered to pay the
cost of placing minor AWS of¬
fices on the next student body
ballot.
Pepless?
Ed Vath, Stunters
To Bolster
Red 'n White Day
A Red and White bombshell
will burst on PJC today, when
all school-minded students will
blossom forth in color. An an¬
nual affair, the 1940 version of
Red and White Day is being
sponsored by the pep commis¬
sion, as usual under the leader¬
ship of Ed Vath.
In conjunction with Red and
White Day will be a pep assem¬
bly, designed to rouse the inner¬
most spirit of the usually pep¬
less student body. This assembly
is to feature PJC’s five gorgeous
song leaders, three cheers lead¬
ers and, of course, the Bulldog
Band, with its varied program
of stunts and music.
Upon emerging from the Sex¬
son Auditorium, filled to the
brim with enthusiasm, students
are expected to flock to the Rose
Bowl where they will become a
part of a big P. However, only
men wearing rooters caps and
co-eds with fluffy red and white
pom-poms will be admitted to
this organized rooting section.
Compton
Raiders Held
When ten Compton Junior Col¬
lege students painted PJC red last
night they gave little thought to
what their actions might lead to,
found themselves surrounded by
four grey walls of Pasadena’s City
Jail by 1 a. m. this morning.
Stopped by Bell City’s alert po¬
lice while en route to Compton
after their invasion of Pasadena
Junior College, every one of the
students held for questioning was
found to be over 20 years of age.
Police located several cans of
paint, brushes and other pieces of
house painting equipment in three
of the cars searched.
Only damage reported this
morning was a 12-foot smear of
red paint on East Campus build¬
ings.
Wades Through
State Gets Plans After
Student-Faculty Meet
Gives OK for Building
Pasadena Junior College’s $125,000 student union build¬
ing has recently been approved by the joint faculty-student
committee, and the final plans are now in the State Archi¬
tect’s office for approval. This approval is expected within
the next week, and the plans will then be forwarded to Wash¬
ington for final governmental approval.
A tentative schedule which
still lies before the student union
before actual construction starts
was released by School Superin¬
tendent John Sexson as follows:
SCHEDULE
“November 6, 1940 — Plans
go to State Division of Archi¬
tecture for approval. (Estimat¬
ed time, 2 weeks).
“November 19, 1940 — Ap¬
proval of final plans by Board
of Education. (No delay).
“November 20-25, 1940 — Final
plans to go to district offices
of WPA.
“December 1, 1940 — Final
plans to be sent to Washing¬
ton, D. C- for final approval
and auhorization to proceed
with construction. (Estimated
time, 4 weeks).
“January 1, 1941 — Tentative
date for starting construction.
“Note: All dates scheduled . . .
are tentative and are based on
previous experience with similar
projects. No positive assurance
can be given that these dates
will hold. . . There is, however,
no reason to suppose that this
project will not move through
normally on the proposed sched¬
ule provided that some unexpect¬
ed contingency does not de¬
velop.”
$1000,000 GBANT
The government has already
accepted the project for the
WPA, and is willing to contri¬
bute a maximum of $100,000 in
WPA labor and materials. For
every WPA worker the govern¬
ment will allow $8.00 in mater¬
ials per month.
The student body will put up
$30,000 which is being spread
over the years 1939, 1940 and
1941 at $10,000 per year. The
Board of Education will provide
$20,000 towards the cost of con¬
struction. Final cost of the Stu¬
dent Union might be in excess of
$125,000.
