Record Drive
To Be Started
Music Dept. Sponsors
Drive To Obtain
Old Records
Providing a chance for jayseeites
to dispose of their unwanted or
broken recordings and at the same
time aid the school in securing
three new victrolas, will be the oc¬
casion for the music department’s
record drive, under the chairman¬
ship of Mrs. Kathryn Barnard. A
radio victrola will be given away
by a Los Angeles company for
every 3,000 Victor records. The
committee hopes to secure 9,000
records during the week of Octo¬
ber 7 to October 14.
The records may be taken to the
administration building, the Bleek-
er house, the Hunter house, the
band building, or the men’s and
women’s gyms. Pickup service
will be provided. Broken records
may be contributed because they
can be melted to make new ones.
Only Victor records will be accep¬
ted, but these may be of any type.
If the drive succeeds in acquir¬
ing three radio victrolas, it is
planned that one will be used ex¬
clusively for the music depart¬
ment, another for the use of the
student body and club functions,
and a third for the other depart¬
ment’s class work.
Dean J. P. O’Mara Talks
To Student Body In
Monday’s Meet
Approximately one-half of the
student body will convene Monday
in the men’s gym for the monthly
convocation. Mr. James P. O’Mara,
dean of men, will speak on “What
College Should Mean to the Stu¬
dent.”
Because of limited space, only
one-half of the students will be
able to attend. Those who are to
attend will be notified through the
bulletin and in their second period
classes Monday. Convocation slips
will be given out as the meeting is
compulsory.
Tell Purpose
Mr. O’Mara will tell the purpose
of a college education and what
should be accomplished through
this learning. In speaking along
this line, Mr. O’Mara said “Col¬
lege training should give more
power, culture, self-control and re¬
liance and methods of attacking
problems.”
A better idea of citizenship, per¬
sonal responsibility and individual
relationships are other advantages,
according to the dean.
Schedule Given
Classes scheduled to report to
the men’s gym for the convocation
are those in the following subjects:
art, English, foreign language, hu¬
manities survery, music, biological
science, biological science survey,
American family, home economics,
physical education and R.
О.
T. C.
Engineering majors will attend
special meeting held in 100T.
All other students will remain in
their second period classes for
study. As convocations are a regu¬
lar part of the school’s educational
and cultural program, a strict at¬
tendance is kept.

Accident Essay
Has Support Of
Pasadena Police
'And Sudden Death,’ reprinted
m this issue of the Chronicle
from Reader’s Digest has the
whole-hearted support of the
Police Department.
“If automobile drivers and
chauffeurs would read it care¬
fully and digest it properly,”
says Chief of Police Kelly, “they
would make much better dri¬
vers. It is a very important
article, written by a man who
knows what he is talking
about.”
Nations Gasp At War Odds
But Forget Traffic Deaths
- • -
When Lloyds, famous London association of insurance under¬
writers, place the probabilities of an imminent world war at such
high odds, the nations ar? horrified at the prospect. When any
one of the large insurance corporations in this country brings
before the general public the actual tabulated figures of those
killed in automobile accidents during a certain limited period of
time, it is taken as a regrettable but unavoidable situation.
But the battlefields on land or sea of a war to come may not
exact as many lives as do accidents incurred while driving on the
safe and modern highways of today. Machine guns are no more
dangerous than a blown-out tire, for a machine gun will kill, while
the memory of a bad blow-out may linger for the lifetime of any
one of the persons injured or crippled in that accident.
Accidents Do Happen
Accidents happen to everyone — good drivers as well as bad,
but the odds are staked against persons who regularly exceed the
speed limit, who constantly pass on a curve, who never signal to
the drivers behind them, or who disobey any or all of the other
rules which the State Division of Motor Vehicles has deemed .nec¬
essary to the safety of the greatest number.
Let s each of us who are licensed automobile drivers study
again those rules and regulations which we once were required
to learn but which we may have forgotten! Let's each try to
remember and obey those laws which after all are not made by
some malicious "cop” who is just trying to be hard-boiled, but
have been made to insure the safety of every man, woman and
child in any country where automobiles are being driven, and are
merely precautions against their — and our "sudden death. "

tures scheduled for next Monday
during the convocation period will
open the present semester’s activi¬
ties for the junior and senior en¬
gineering students. Although at¬

according to Arthur Gehrig, ad¬
viser.
Planned Saturday
The semi-annual lecture trip for
the engineers is planned for Sat¬
urday, November 3, the program
will be announced later. December

termine what motors, clocks, gen¬
erators, switches, etc., will have
to be changed before Pasadena

power from Boulder dam. This last
summer Francis McGough, electric
tech instructor, made a similar

tem.

President of Patrons, Mrs.
Wootan, Announces
Day’s Program
Plans for an open house on the
campus, Friday, October 11, were
discussed in the meeting of the
Pasadena junior college Patrons’
Association last Monday, accord¬
ing to Mrs. John T. Wootan, pres¬
ident of the patrons.
The open house is being held for
the benefit of the parents of stu¬
dents at the school. To give the
parents a good cross-section view
of the campus, a program has been
planned which will show the stu¬
dents at work in their classrooms
and other places on the campus.
The program of the day includes
the assembly at 10 a. m., a person¬
ally conducted tour of the campus
with visits to the classrooms, a
luncheon in the cafeteria from 1
to 2 p. m., and a football game
at 3 p. m. The game will take
place on Horrell field between the
Long Beach Jordan high school
and the Pasadena junior college
freshmen.
“Further discussion of the plans
for the Patrons’ Scholarship Fund
was included in the meeting and
the idea is taking shape well”,
said Mrs. Wootan, although defin¬
ite plans could not be obtained.
The Scholarship Fund was first
brought up in the meeting of the
patrons on September 23 and the
idea was accepted. Since then
they have been working on it and
plans are nearly complete. Money
for the fund is to be raised by a
membership drive for the assoc¬
iation and in the meeting of Sep¬
tember 23 a plea was made for
memberships. Marjorie Bettanier
and Sam Schwartz, A.W.S. and
A.M.S. presidents pledged the sup¬
port of their organizations.

Sudden Death 5
Over a million extra copies of
the issue of the Reader's Digest
containing the article ‘And Sud¬
den Death’ have been printed
and distributed to police head¬
quarters throughout the count-
try.

have copies on hand to distri¬
bute to any clubs or groups
that are interested. That in it¬
self shows that we think it’s
pretty good.”
