A.S.B. Officers Meet
With Administrators
Members of the administrative
staff and Associated Student Body
officers held their first dinner meet¬
ing of the year at the home of Miss
Winifred Skinner, school librarian,
on September 31, at 5:30 p. m.
These meetings are held four
times yearly, and are, in the words
of Dr. Harbeson, principal, who
presided, “excellent opportunities
for faculty members and student
leaders to get together and discuss
present jaysee problems in an in¬
formal way.”
Among the problems discussed
were the increased stardards that
must prevail with the improve¬
ments of facilities at the school,
and also ways in which the new
students can be made to feel at
home on the Pasadena junior col¬
lege campus.

Pasadena Patrons
Plan For Year
Meeting primarily for the pur¬
pose of introducing members of the
faculty and administration to the
parents of the students of the jun¬
ior college, the Pasadena Patron’s
association held their first meeting
of the year in the Little Theater on
Monday, September 27, at 3 p. m.
Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal,
addressed the gathering on the
privileges of working in the new
buildings of the junior college.
“The Patron’s association is wel¬
come to hold it’s monthly meetings
in the Little Theatre,” said Dr.
Harbeson.
The work of a new dean was dis¬
cussed by Audre L. Stong, recently
promoted to the position of dean of
men, who gave his views in regard
to the disciplinary problems of the
parent and children and the desir¬
ability of an honest relationship
between them.
David W. Reidy, director of the
extension school, spoke on the sub¬
ject of the new night classes. Mr.
Reidy gave a rough outline of a
series of Tuesday night lectures
which have recently been planned
to take place in the new auditori
п.
The program for the meetings
of the coming year was outlined by
Dr. Glenn L. Lembke, the new Cur¬
riculum Coordinator, who had
charge of the meeting in conjunc¬
tion with Mi'S. E. C. Clark, pro¬
gram chairman of the association.
The list of these programs prom¬
ises to be very interesting for par¬
ents who take an interest in affairs
of the school, according to Mrs. H.

tron’s association.

PSYCHOLOGY PROVES
POPULAR SUBJECT
Classes in psychology have prov¬
en to be the most popular of those
offered in the evening school by
’the social science department, ac¬
cording to Roscoe L. Ashley, chair¬
man of the department.
Two sections are open to the stu¬
dents; 51 A for those students with
recommended status, and psycholo¬
gy 43. Next in line of popularity
are classes in modern history, the
far East, and the Constitution
There is also a large enrollment in
philosophy 45.
R.O.T.C. IS ACTIVE
The local R.O.T.C. has been ap¬
pointed by Mr. O’Mara to take
complete charge of the gates at the
home football games this fall.
Cadet Major Robert Palmer
states that tire R.O.T.C. is glad to
be of service in this way and is
sure that the gate problem under
the leadership of various cadet of¬
ficers will be under complete con¬
trol this year. Last week at the
JUSTICE RECORDS 40 PERCENT VOTE
By Bob Coates, Chief Justice
Last week's elections had the unfortunate fate of being set ahead
two weeks. This of course caught most of the candidates in the midst
of matriculation and cut down their opportunities to publicize their
candidacy.
This situation was not conducive to a large student body vote
but in spite of these influences the student body responded admirably
in exercising their democratic rights, the percentage of voters being
approximately 40 per cent of the student body in the first election and
slightly less than this number in the finals.
All campaigning enjoyed unusual fair play and the balloting itself
went off in near clock-like precision. As the time draws near for the
mid-year elections in January, individuals whose conception of stu¬
dent government differs from that in vogue should by all means start
a campaign of 'small talk' to the effect that "things should by all
means, be changed around this school and I’m the fellow to do it.”
This in itself will promote enthusiasm and will prepare rather
than take unaware the voters on which the success of an election
depends. However this will not be the only means of putting office-
seekers in the public eye, for the election board, following the example
set by the Kenneth Collins administration of last year, has planned
many strategems which will irritate voting to the ‘nth’ degree. And as
this individual has said before, “When better elections are polled,
the PJC student body will poll them.”
GAME ADMISSION
PRICES CLARIFIED
Students will have to pay the
regular general admission charge
to Bulldog football games if they
do not have their student body
ticket book. This ruling was an¬
nounced by Andy Longbotham,
president of Argonauts, after the
club’s meeting Thursday, Septem¬
ber 23.
The Argonauts, who handle tick¬
et sales to all P.J.C. events, took
this stand aftc-r W. E. Wilcox, fac¬
ulty adviser, had announced the
following scale of admissions to
all games: general admission, 50
cents; children, 10 cents; junior
high students, 10 cents.
Junior high school students will
be admitted at the low fee only if
they present their student body
card.
The Argonaut president empha¬
sized that an identification card is
not a ticket to games and that the
50-eent charge will apply to all
students who do not present the
regular ticket.
New Members
In addition to planning ticket
sales for coming Bulldog grid bat¬
tles, the blue-sweatered Argonauts
admitted to their associate list five
new members and elevated seven
former associates to the active list.
Freeman Ingledew, Leo Strelsky,
Dick Brown, Robert Broulette and
Robert Coit are the new associates
with the Jaysee busines managers.
Advancing onto the active list
were: Sherman Abaijan, Dean
Brackenbury, James Haines, Julius
Hoffman, tom Neilson, Shuichi
Ogura and Donald Thorpe.
Sweaters and armbands for the
use and identification of the Argo-
anuts were distributed at- the meet¬
ing.

of the pageant committee, outlined
the schedule for the parade. En¬
tered in the line-up will be approx¬
imately 60 floats which are to be
designed along more elaborate lines
than those of last year’s parade.
Because of the fact that there are
a great many more clubs than
floats, it is expected that two or
three will work together on one
project.
A suggested list of suitable sub¬
jects to be used was given to each
club leader at the meeting, and
since that time, selections on the
part of various clubs have come in
rapidly.
Assisting in the judging of last
year’s parade was the Tournament
of Roses Parade Committee, headed
by Chief of Staff Captain J. W.
McCall. The committee has been,
invited to attend the parade and
game again this year.
Themes Chosen
Subjects already assigned to the
clubs are, “Bear Republic,” Euter-
pians and Nysaeans; “Golden Gate
Bridge,” Zama; “Night Life in
San Francisco,” Amphion; “Cali-
fornia Fiesta,” Frosh Club; “Ra¬
mona,” Home Economics; “First
Vigilance Committee,” O.S.F.;
“First Newspaper in California,”
Beta Phi Gamma, and “Discovery
of Gold by Marshall,” D.A.C.
The pageant has been planned
as a celebration in the honor of
the new campus as well as in the
honor of the students of San Fran¬
cisco Junior College who will be
special guests of the school in the
Rose Bowl. The San Francisco
students have been invited to enter
a float in the parade, but they have
not yet accepted.
Parade Friday
Each float is allowed up to fif¬
teen dollars drawing account from
the special fund set aside for the
purpose. Prizes are to be given
again this year, awarded by a com¬
mittee of Pasadena citizens to be
selected at a later date. There will
