New High Set By Enrollment Of Newcomers Total registration figures for this year exceed all those of pre¬ vious years, according to John A. Anderson, dean of records, after the last day of upper divi¬ sion entering last Monday. A total of 4050 students have now enrolled which is 47 more than the previous record made in 1933 of 4003 students. Ap¬ proximately 2300 of these are entered in the upper division. “Although no new people will be enrolled this semester, it is expected that this number will be even higher when transfers are made from other schools,” said Mr. Anderson. Lancers Get Assignments Says Prexy Closed Campus Ruling To Be Enforced Through Organization Assignment of members of Lan¬ cers, men’s honorary service or¬ ganization, to definite post assign¬ ments for the coming semester were completed last week, accord¬ ing to Jimmy Couchman, group president. Out of 26 active members, 24 were given definite duties during assembly and convocation periods. The main function of the group is to maintain the “closed campus” rule in effect during those times, but activities take in all forms of maintenance of order on and about the campus, according to Couch- man. Other activities that will be car¬ ried on throughout the year include aiding at night football games in the Rose Bowl, and helping at any school events, where the organiza¬ tion’s services are necessary. Plans also call for the annual “Whisker- ino” contest, to be held during the- two weeks preceding the Long Beach vs. Pasadena football game. Assignments for duty are as fol¬ lows: Colorado street, Art Clark, Dick Lusk, Howard Bachman, Jack Boaz, Harry Sheldon and Fred Is- lieb; Sierra Bonita, Ray Kuhn, Bill McElroy, Johnny McDonough, Dwight McCallum and Grenville Lansdell; Hill avenue and the parking lot, Bill Stidham, Irvin Wright, Curtis Davis, Vernon Lief, Adrian Perry and Ed Raymond; assembly, Sam Schwartz, Jack Stocking, Bud Paulson and Mor¬ gan West; Blanche street and the south parking lot, Tom Sommer- ville and Jack Page. Officers of the group include Jimmy Couchman, president; Art Clark, vice-president and Ray Kuhn, secretary-treasurer. - « - Geology Trip Is Projected According to E. V. Van Amringe, geology instructor, the last field trip to the Arroyo Seco and Eagle Rock for this semester will be held tomorrow morning, and the start¬ ing point will be on Lincoln ave¬ nue and Montana street at 8 a. m. Mr. Van Amringe said, “The first trip to the Arroyo Seco and Eagle Rock is of importance, because there are more fundamental geo¬ logical features within that radius than in any other area of its size in the country.” He also' mentioned that it has been definitely proved that Eagle Rock’s peculiar shape, after which it is named, is due to erosion by water, and not to a meteor as is believed by some peo¬ ple. Another feature of the trip is that nearly every place visited is the site of some important fault, but the faults are inactive at pres¬ ent, according to Mr. Van Amringe. These faults, when they shift, are the cause of earthquakes. An av¬ erage of ten tremors a day are recorded at the California Institute of Technology in their seismology laboratories. But they are “micro- seismal shocks” and cannot be felt except by delicate instruments. POSITION OPEN For anyone, interested in obtain¬ ing service points, there are op¬ portunities for work on Mondays and Wednesdays in the library, ac¬ cording- to Miss Winnifred Skinner, head librarian. “The merits of this position are two fold, as not only will service points be awarded, but the student will receive valuable training in library work,” said Miss Skinner. Anyone interested should report at the desk in the library. ENGINEERING CLEB With 152 members, of whom 96 si-? newcomers, the Engineering "bib will hold its first, meeting this Friday in room 202E. Department Heads Tell Of New Building Conveniences - ф - Appreciation and complete approval of the new buildings on tbje campus was given by the heads of departments located in the buildings, according to a survey made recently by the Chronicle. Bailey W. Howard, chairman of the physical science department, said, “When completed, Pasadena will have the best junior college Senior Class Groups Told By Stocking Four Committees And Chairmen Are Announced According to Jack Stocking, se¬ nior class president, the members of the senior council, the commit¬ tees, and respective chairmen were recently appointed. Kenneth Collins, is chairman of publicity and distribution, with Jack Anderson, Ruth Battelle, Charmaine Bliss, Paul Brinegar and Ed Raymond as members of his committee. Dorothy Bonner was appointed chairman of class and council meet¬ ings, with Bill Bartholfew, Ray Huggins, Beverly Miller, Carolyn Munn and Doris Petty working un¬ der her. Betty Ray will be chairman of organizations and special events and Alice Jane Blossom, Bill Ema- rine, Frank Murphy, Ray Pattison, Marjorie Thompson and Bill Weil, comprise her committee. George Rettie, chairman of the dances, will have Margaret Arnold, Evelyn Calvert, James Cooper, Jane Hazenbush, Eloise Jones, Glen Pet- tie, Frances Pfeiffer and Lucia Pownall on his committee. “A meeting has been scheduled for Monday, October 5, in room 100T,” said Stocking, “The coming Junior- Senior dance will be dis¬ cussed, also plans will be made for the major class dance. It is an im¬ portant meeting and all members should be there promptly.” ♦-plant that can be found in Califor¬ nia. “If there ever is another earth¬ quake I would run into the buil¬ dings for safety, because the con¬ crete used in construction withstood a testo f 3800 to 4200 pounds pres¬ sure per square inch. The state requires only 2000 pounds per square inch.” The three major features in the new Physical Science building are the new laboratories, lecture room and the stock room. The new lab¬ oratories hold two ordinary sized classes. The supply room has a dumb waiter that runs through all three floors, and in that way one man, who is hired for that purpose, can issue and check out the supplies and equipment that are needed. The lecture rooms which are acousti¬ cally designed are important fea¬ tures in the building, according to Mr. Howard. Miss Mabel Pierson, chairman of the biological science department, said, “Upon moving into the new Life Science building, I have the feeling that it is built strongly enough for 300 years of hard use.” There are a few minor things yet to be completed, and they are installation of some plumbing fix¬ tures and some carpenter work in the laboratories. Archie M. Wedemeyer, chairman of the art department, revealed that, “We are very happy to move back into buildings with the phy¬ sical science department, for they have shown the art department every consideration possible. These are not our permanent quarters, and we are staying here only until the completion of the Horace Mann building, in which the art classes will be permanently situated.” Makeup Talk Is Presented Local Group Begins Drills “The new men are progresing very rapidly in the fundamentals of military drill and by the begin¬ ning of next week they will be ready to take up company drill in the two periods.” This statement was made by Major Frank Bertho- let, newly appointed professor of military science and tactics, when questioned about the local R. O. T. C. unit. Under the leadership of Captains Robert Palmer and Ira Cheaney, commanders of companies A and В respectively, instruction has been given in squad drill and manual of arms during drill periods this week, with lectures on military courtesy and customs of the ser¬ vice. Rifles were issued last Wed¬ nesday, and according to Major Bertholet, the men will be proficient enough in the manual to hold a battalion parade within the next two weeks. Coached by the school rifle in¬ structor, Sergeant William Morgan, practice and tryouts for the rifle team are slated to begin early in October. Sergeatn Morgan, who has in the past coached many championship teams, is noncom¬ mittal on thisy ear’s chances, but a good year can be expected if his materi al turns up, he sc id. Other activities of the near fu¬ ture include a visit of inspection to battleships in Los Angeles har¬ bor and also to Fort MacArthur.

Each organization will sponsor a float or some type of entry in a parade which will take place dur¬ ing the halves of the game, with probably two groups showing im¬ portant events in one year. The en¬ tire period will be approximately 50 years, thereby making it neces¬ sary for every organization of the school to take part, according to Mr. McAuley. Musical organizations and march¬ ing units of municipalities included in the Pasadena junior college school district, will be asked to ail 'the organizations, wherever pos¬ sible. “It is necessary that every mem¬ ber of the clubs, including faculty advisers, rather than only a com¬ mittee from each club, take part in this activity, so that we can real¬ ize the high standards we have set for ourselves,” said Mr. McAuley in explaining tire coming event. Money for the floats will come from a fund of $500 that has been appropriated by the board of rep¬ resentatives. Each club will be al¬ lowed up to $10.00 per float if nec¬ essary, but are asked to keep ex¬ penses as low as possible, he said. Committees, which have been ap¬ pointed by Mr. McAuley to aid him in the various aspects of the proj¬ ect, are as follows: civic, Ellen Lombard, chairman; Mary-Martha Moreland and Harry Rothrock; school, Mildred Schmertz, chair¬ man; Jane Crum, John Taylor, Bet¬ ty Ray and Barbara McCullough; publicity, A1 Louchard, chairman and Ruth Battelle; contacts, Dick Balch, chairman, Phil Cartwright, Bruce Jessup and Helen Parker. Assignment of clubs and organi¬ zations to the various years be¬ tween 1886 and 1937 will be com¬ pleted during the next week. “The clubs should hand in their choices as soon as possible,” said Mr. Mc¬ Auley, “because as far as the as¬ signment is concerned, it will be a case of ‘first come, first served., ” Jack Page and the pep commis¬ sion will also aid in formulating plans for the affair. New Course Is Offered W.A.A. Swim Begins Year — « — Opening the season’s activities with a swim and get-together, the W. A. A. began what plans to be a eventful year, according to Thelma Westling, W.
