Student Board
Appropriates
As usual financial matters oc¬
cupied the time of the Thursday
morning Student Board meeting
yesterday.
A requesition from the music
department was read and pre¬
sented to the board, which ap¬
proved requests for additional
money for the production of
“Gloria!’, the Christmas annual
play, for the orchestra and also
for various organizations.
The motion for more money for
the Pep Commission was brought
up again today after Dean Stong
signed the request as faculty ad¬
visor. The motion was discussed
at some length, but was finally
unanimously passed. The money
will be used to buy cheer-leader’s
sweaters and for Red and White
Day.
A request was sent over from
athletic coaches for the purchase
of the silver and gold track shoes
for the athletes that won them
last year in track. It was unan¬
imously passed.

Eckels Topped
At a special OMD meeting yes-
treday, Mast and Dagger mem¬
bers decided to tap Advisor
Charles Eckels, newly selected
faculty mentor for PJC’s highest
honorary organization.
OMD was left without an ad¬
visor, due to the resignation from
the school system of Miss Olive
Kelso last summer. OMD mem¬
bers voted in Mr. Eckels as her
successor.
Red And White
Bulldogs Fight
“Massacre Modesto” will be
the theme of Red and White
Day, PJC’s annual exposition
of school colors, this coming
Friday, October 13. The halls
and campus will carry out the
color scheme and students will
participate in the spirit of the
day by wearing red and white.
The days’ motto will be ex¬
emplified in the Pasadena
Rose Bowl Friday evening,
when activities will be climax¬
ed by the football game in
which the Bulldogs vie with
the Modesto Pirates.
Pep Commissioner Jack Ma-
cy, who is in charge of Red
and White Day, expressed an
earnest hope that conflicting
activities will not prevent all
students from attending the
game and supporting the team
in the fight for victory.

tional, and social problems by

the African and Middle Eastern
theatres of war, this morning’s
assembly will feature a talk by
Mr. E. G. Chapman, special repre¬
sentative of the American Red
Cross in East Africa. His sub¬
ject will be the Red Cross over¬
seas program.
For the last year and one-half
Mr. Chapman has visited hos¬
pitals which are receiving articles
and food sent by Red Cross units
in this country. He has traveled
in Persia, Iran, Egypt, and Tur¬
key.
According to Mr. Chapman, the
Red Cross packages, kits, slip¬
pers, food, and games sent from
the United States is of extreme
importance in the building of the
morale of war victims and of our
wounded men — “Feeling that
the home front is backing you
up assures one of faith in human
kindness.”
Following Mr. Chapman’s 30-
minute talk, Helen Erb, elections
commissioner, will introduce can¬
didates for minor class officers
running in the primary elections
today.
PJC Transfer Students
Receive High Grades
According to registrar records,
the war has not lowered the grade
points PJC grads make at other
institutions. Transfers from Pas¬
adena to regular four-year col¬
leges during the past three years
show that these students have
acheived a
В
minus average —
higher than the other junior col¬
leges with comparative enroll¬
ments.
During the last quarter at Stan¬
ford, the lowest average of four¬
teen former students was a C.
