Stark, Anderson
Speak To Guests
Upon the emerging of official
AMS heads from debating huddle,
latest in details on new breakfast
enterprise have come to light.
Inaugurating the first of these
sessions, twenty AMS members
and respective guests, ventured
to Van de Camps this morning.
Coach Newt Stark, Otto Ander¬
son, plus grid stalwarts, gave out
with pigskin talk.
Each AMS member will be
responsible for accompanying
one new boy each time, thus ac¬
quainting a great number of
male students with campus ac¬
tivities. Since the student body
fund foots the check, financial
worries have been cast aside.
Cliff Sharp, Chuck Eidson and
out the country, leads the platter
parade with classics: “Siam,”
“Drink, Drink, Another Drink,”
“Strip Polka,” album of others.
Financed by junior, senior
classes, engineered by assembly
boss,.. Sanborn arrangements
were conducted through ex¬
maestro, now agent, Larry
Kent. Striving to surpass pre¬
war assemblies when Sldnnay
Ennis, Jerry Colona, Bill Good¬
man, other radio and screen
notables displayed their wares
from Sexson stage, Sanborn
plots name bands, any other
top talent a skimpy budget,
contributing accounts can sup¬
port.
Following a convocation next
Friday, on October 16 will be a
“PJC Review,” featuring best en¬
tertainment talent in junior col¬
lege. Designed to secure perform¬
ers for Crafty Hall, scheduled
for sometime in December, try¬
outs for the review will be held
from 3:00-5:00 in 200C next Tues¬
day. Competition will be conduct¬
ed among final contestants, five

Law Officers
Crack Down
On Smoking
Lancers, Spartans Push
Drive On Violators
Sleek figures dressed in black
and brown sweaters will soon be
seen giving the campus a look
over for anyone with an air of
violation about them. The Lanc¬
ers and Spartans have it in their
authority to arrest anyone smok¬
ing on the campus, defacing
school property, parking in the
faculty parking lot, reckless driv¬
ing on the campus, gambling,
failure to appear at court hear¬
ing after ordered to do so, leav¬
ing campus during closed campus
period, theft, failure to turn in
lost property, which are primary
or secondary offenses. Court
hearings are heard every Thurs¬
day afternoon with Student Pros¬
ecutor Ralph Simmons presiding,
in either room 170C or 200C.
Any student can request the
Student Prosecutor to issue a
complaint. The student receiving
a complaint is first taken to Mi¬
nor Court, where, if a plea of
guilty is given, an informal dis¬
cussion between the principals
takes place, before the judge de¬
livers the sentence. If the defen¬
dant pleads not guilty, he or she
is then bound over to the Super¬
ior Court by the justice. The
Superior Court acts as a trial
court and is presided over by an
elected justice. A choice between
a trial by jury of six other stu¬
dents chosen at random, or by
judge, may be made by the de¬
fendant. If the student feels that
he has been unjustly accused he
may contact a defense attorney
in the Student Body offices.
Date for the first session of the
Student Courts will be announced
at a future date by the Chronicle.

AMS CHEF TOM STANTON
... he flaps the hotcakes
Marty Goravity have promised
to formulate some sharp morn¬
ing diversion from classes and
daily routine. AMS President
Tom Stanton is collecting the
general ragged ends together,
with the assistance of several
capable committees.
Flans specify that the break¬
fasts will organize at quarter
to eight and disband at nine.
ASB Officers
Rest In Peace
Student body officers, discover¬
ing noise, hub-bub of Student
Union does not mix with import¬
ant duties of sundry officers,
made known the necessity of
changing leaders’ hangout. Loca¬
tion now reads as East half of
room 4C. This well-lighted, venti¬
lated, spacious office permits con¬
fabs sans tinkle of coke glasses,
clang of cash register.
Dean Ida Hawes pulled strings
during summer, secured permis¬
sion for use of the new room,
hopes to find even better facili¬
ties for ASB officers. Only officer
to remain Student Union is Sec¬
retary of Finance Bill Price.
