Champlain , Variety Show Top Assembly Today's The Day To Vote For Officers Elections , Bond Sale Reviewed Today marks another Friday, and Fridays bring good assem¬ blies. The two most outstanding features of this assembly will be the introduction of candidates for the primary elections held today, and the termination of bond drive. Elections Commis¬ sioner Betty Lou Joslyn will in¬ troduce the candidates and give a short pep talk on why we should vote. Second on the list, but not in importance, will be Ruth Cham¬ plain’s announcement of what PJC did for the 3rd War Loan Drive. She will tell student body members how much they put into war bonds and stamps this week. To finish off the bond drive with a bang the War Council re¬ cruited Bill Sanborn into pro¬ ducing a variety show for the re¬ maining time of the assembly period. Already Bill is getting plans under way for the tradi¬ tional Crafty Hall show. Lee Kikorian and his jive band will be one of the main attrac¬ tions of today’s show. Don Rus¬ sell, monologuist, gives his in¬ terpretation of “Afterthoughts of a Soldier.” Art Duncan, popular negro tap dancer, well known in JC varieties, and Lorenzo Farlice will combine their talents in a song and dance routine. Leon Schills will put magic into the ivories and tells hu¬ morous ditties to his own ac¬ companiment. Frosh will re¬ member Leon from his perform¬ ance at their special assembly held recently. The entire student body is urged to turn out for the assem¬ bly, and it is reminded that stu¬ dent body books are necessary in order to vote. SfudentBody Membership Required For Club Groups According to a new ruling of the Student Board, only student body members who have paid their $6.00 fee, will be entitled to participate in any student or¬ ganization. This follows in line with the student government’s desire to make student body par¬ ticipation one hundred per cent. All those who have not paid their fees can do so at the Student Bank. Secretary of Finance, Hilly Stong, who has the duty of en- fprcing and administering the new Board ruling, plans to soon ask all clubs for lists of their members who do not be¬ long to the student body. Un¬ less club members become stu¬ dent body members one hun¬ dred per cent, budget alloca¬ tions will be withheld. It is therefore to the best interests of all that membership in the student body be complete. Student Body Prexy Margie Evans is working this year for increased interest and participa¬ tion in student affairs. First step in doing this is to pay the stu¬ dent body fee. With so many stu¬ dents spending only part-time on the campus it is more than ever necessary to have a unified stu¬ dent body representing the en¬ tire campus. Without these fees, all activi¬ ties must be cut, if not curtailed entirely. Therefore everyone in¬ terested in seeing school activi¬ ties carried on as usual, should be sure that he is a member of the student body in good stand¬ ing. *7Ae JdibbGAy £u<f<fG&tl for lighter reading.

Speech Group Backs One-Week Bond Sale; Student Rally Serious-minded Priscilla Hannah, Secretary of Oral Arts has taken on a man-sized job this term. This officious title includes the coordination of the forensic groups on campus: Drama activities, speech work, and the clubs sponsored by these departments come under her auspices. One of these groups is the Speakers Bureau, and if you wondered who sent the speakers around to announce the Bond Drive last week, Joslyn Forsees Extra Large Student T urnout At Primary Balloting Once again PJC students will have an opportunity to make democracy work when they go to the polls today to vote for class officers. Because they are more aware this year than ever before of their duties as the future citizens of America, a bigger turnout of voters is expected for this primary elec¬ tion. Student body books are necessary to vote. A sample bal¬ lot is printed below to enable prospective voters to make their Army Presented Top-Notch Show Playing to an almost packed house last Friday evening was the 370th Army Air Force Band. Considered one of the finest mu¬ sical organizations ever to ap¬ pear in Pasadena, most of the big name dance bands were rep¬ resented in the band’s per¬ sonnel. Eight of the members have played with Tommy Dorsey, several with Ozzie Nelson — in fact almost all the top orches¬ tras are represented, even the never-to-be-forgotten Glenn Mil¬ ler aggregation. Sergeant Arvin Dale, who was master of ceremonies, has been on the announcing staff for the Columbia Broadcasting System in New York for many years. It is hoped that sometime during the year it will be possible for the band to return for a student assembly at which they will play popular dance tunes as well as band numbers. they were members of said Bureau. With all of her many jobs, Priscilla has found it neces¬ sary to appoint managers for the various groups who are in direct contact with her and who meet with her in order to plan their activities. The Speakers Bureau is an or¬ ganization of students who are outstanding in speech and who know what’s going on around campus. Since this is an extra¬ curricular activity, those parti¬ cipating do so because of per¬ sonal interest in the work. Open different Pasadena organizations desire information about various things going on at PJC; it is then that the Speakers Bureau comes to the fore by providing a well- informed speaker for the organi¬ zation. In this way, out-siders are correctly informed about school doings and interest is cre¬ ated among the townspeople. Manager of the Bureau is Mary Kate Avery, with Mrs. Irene Peters as faculty adviser. Any on-campus organization desiring a speaker for any explanation of school affairs may get in touch with Mary Kate, and the Speak¬ ers Bureau will come to the res¬ cue. Waldo Frank Opens Forum With Lecture “Chart for Rough Waters,” a discussion of the current war picture to be given by Novelist- historian Waldo Frank, will open the Tuesday Evening Forum season for this fall. Mr. Frank has been acclaimed by some au¬ thorities as the most profound interpreter of the present world crisis. Lectures this season will be divided into four groups, the first and third discussing cur¬ rent military events, and the second and fourth viewing the post-war era. First series will be “The World at War;” the second, entitled “Lands of the Future,” will discuss the Far East, Alaska, and Siberia, and the Scandinavian concept of civilization. The third group, “The United States in Action,” will deal with inter-Allied co¬ operation, while the fourth is forecast called “What Sort of World?” Highlights of the Forum this semester will be “Russian Battle Ground,” by Irina Skariatina, Russian-born writer; “Americas at War,” by Edward Tomlinson, Inter-American analyst of the Blue Network; and “Close-ups of the Fighting Fronts,” by Deane Dickason, popular newscaster and commentator. The Tuesday Evening Forum meets at 8:00 p. m. in the Sexson Auditorium. Season tickets may be purchased for $1.10 at the Extended Day Office. Eager Coeds Heed Call of Red Cross PJC’s own Red Cross College Unit, the first such on any college campus, is moving into high gear. The Surgical Dressing group on Thursday, September 23, brought out twenty-five girls eager to earn service points and the Red Cross volunteer pin by participating in war work. Room 2D will accommodate about 30 workers each period, and will be open between eleven and four o’clock, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students showing greatest pro¬ ficiency will receive additional in¬ struction enabling them to act as student supervisors. Students in Hawaii at the time of Pearl Harbor are among the group. At Thursday’s meeting the volunteers, under the leader¬ ship of Daisy Grubel, faculty adviser of the Surgical Dress¬ ings Unit, and Catherine Rob¬ bins, adviser of the College Unit, learned the fundamental operations in making dressings. A novel idea was proposed, that of making uniforms from men’s large white shirts by cut¬ ting off collar and cuffs. Dean Stong took advantage of this op¬ portunity by offering his shirt, and promised to autograph the pocket. Immaculate white uniforms and veils gave the room the clean atmosphere of a hospital, and the business-like attitude of the workers demonstrated the capa¬ bility of JC students in war jobs. The Surgical Dressing Unit is merely the first of many features of PJC’s expanded Red Cross setup. Work will be available later in such vital services as the motor corps, nurses committee and the disaster corps. choice before going to the polls.

I suppose you’re already won¬ dering just what I’m getting around to saying, so I will get to the point. “You see, we of 904th Signal Company have been thinking of Christmas this year and wondering just how we could possibly go about making it a very special one which could be carried out in the real spirit in which it should be and for , which it was originally intend¬ ed. Then someone suggested what we think an excellent idea. That is, why couldn’t we write the folks back home and have them drop into the five and dime store and pick up a small toy or two, and perhaps a bag or two of hard candy, and send each one of us and then on Christmas Day all of us could go into one of the small nearby towns and throw a real party for the children there? We think that this would be a very small contri¬ bution and token of our appre¬ ciation to the English people around here for their kindness and hospitality they have shown us ever since we’ve been here. They have been SWELL to us. “We don’t know exactly how serious rationing back home is affecting you because all the in¬ formation you pass along to us is rather vague and we some¬ times wonder if you aren’t hav¬ ing pretty ‘tough sledding’ your¬ selves. We can tell you, however, that rationing over here is se¬ vere and a thing like going into (Continued on Page 3) Non-riccy Club Heads To Gather Allowing time for the resump¬ tion of a normal routine around campus and election of represen¬ tatives of the non-restrictive clubs and organizations, a meet¬ ing of these leaders has been scheduled for Wednesday, Octo¬ ber 5, at 3:00 in room 104D. Presiding will be Secretary of Organizations, Joan Com- merford, and purpose of this first get-to-gether is to find out how many clubs are still active, and exactly what their war- plans are for the ensuing year. Clubs and organizations ex¬ pecting to be represented come under the following general head¬ ings: service, scholarship and other honorary, athletics, gen¬ eral, religious, and science. Miss Catherine Robbins, Dean of Women, urges that every group under any of the above classifications be represented in some way at the October 5 meet¬ ing. Geology Group Plans First of 1943 Field Trips Under the supervision of E. V. Van Amringe, the first year ge¬ ology class is planning their an¬ nual series of field excursions. Since the region around Pasa¬ dena holds much geologic inter¬ est, these trips will cover such branches of geology as prehis¬ toric earthquake faults, fossil shorelines, and fossil riverbeds. First field trip of the year will go to Devil’s Gate Dam, and pro¬ ceed from there to Eagle Rock. Both of these spots are named for formations in the rock caused by erosion, and are favorite desti¬ nations for trips. Successive ex¬ cursions are planned for all day. Those interested in going are asked to meet at one o’clock Sun¬ day afternoon, October 3, at the corner of Lincoln and Figueroa. Policy-Forming PJC Principal's Council Meets September 29 marked the first of the bi monthly meetings of the Principal’s Council, PJC’s policy¬ forming body. The council con¬ sists of the different department chairmen, the administrations, and Board of Education mem¬ bers. Subjects discussed were the school enrollment, vital prob¬ lems brought about the war, and various ways to facilitate the school’s war program.

Americans Plan Merry Christmas For English Fired on by the poignant appeal for small toys received from an American soldier stationed in England, the JC Red Cross Chapter has taken upon its already over-loaded hands the task of collecting and shipping as many toys as is human¬ ly possible. Printed below is the request and JC is asked to answer it.
