quaint art students with their fac¬

Mews Channel
Undercurrent
As pungent proof that school
has begun in earnest, the offensive
odors that issue daily and hourly
from the science laboratories, as¬
sail the nostrils of every innocent
passerby.
Reverting to the caveman days
when a tribe would run 15 miles
to see a saber tooth tiger satisfy
his appetite on one of their num¬
ber, bloodthirsty students raced
frantically to view the accident
which took place Wednesday
near the school.
• — ♦ —
Already exams loom on the
horizon, with only two weeks’
grace for forgetful or lazy lucub-
rators who have left studies until
“tomorrow.”
Do spiders want to see the
rings of Saturn or the canals of
Mars? Why ndt? No doubt
they also have cousins inhabit-’
ing the planets. At least one
clan must have reasoned along
this line, for it inhabited a small
campus telescope room from
spring until fall, when an in¬
vading astronomy lab class ex¬
terminated the population.
Midst shrieks and exclamations
of pretended fright and real ad¬
miration, “The Spirit of Pasadena”
zoomed toward the Horrell Field
grandstand, crowded with Friday’s
Field Day enthusiasts, and, looping
over the green turf, dropped the
football which was used in the ma¬
jor game of the afternoon. Cheer¬
ing and waving saluted the plane
as it gained altitude, leaving be¬
hind a cloud of confetti.
Midyear Graduates
Must Report Now
When the final list of candidates
for February graduation is com¬
piled next week, names of only
those who have reported to the
records office will be included.
Senior and sophomore candidates
now number 178, according to in¬
formation from John A. Anderson,
dean of records. Other possible
graduates should have credits
checked immediately.

Welfare Division
Wants Old Attire
In an appeal to both students
and faculty, Miss Katherine Mc-
Gorray, head of the home econ¬
omics department, asks that con¬
tributions of discarded clothing be
left in the box in the room oppo¬
site Miss Catherine Robbins’ of¬
fice.
The home economics department,
co-operating with the welfare or¬
ganization of the school, and) the
city P.-T. A., are sponsoring a
drive for cast-off attire, which will
be cleaned, remodeled and mended
to make it more suitable.
“Many students, both men and
women, will be made more com¬
fortable and be better equipped
for school work by such dona¬
tions,” states Miss McGorray.

Is Revealed

vealed to be in the report of the
Carnegie Survey of Higher Educa¬
tion by John A. Sexson, superin¬

universities and teachers colleges
should be under the same board of
regents.
At the close of his address Mr.
Sexson showed the advantages of
revising taxation to support edu¬
