Assemblies Today
Surprise Feature
If Germany is defeated, will it prevent spread of totalitarian government?
Two assemblies, compulsory for all students, will be held
this morning at 8:55 and 9:47. The program, arranged by
Dean of Men Audre L. Stong and Dean of Women Catherine
J. Robbins, will allow various dignitaries of the school and
community to explain certain laws, regulations and courte¬
sies for JC students to uphold.
Mr. David J. O’Leary of the
District Attorney's office will
give a spectator’s viewpoint of
behavior at Rose Bowl football
games, and Motor Squad Captain
Clarence Morris of Pasadena’s
Police department will explain
the “why” of certain laws con¬
cerning use of parking areas near
the campus. Various restaurant
owners nearby will also give
short talks.
Roll call for nine o’clock class
will be as usual, then Group I,
consisting of all students in the
odd-numbered rooms of C build¬
ing, and in all rooms of E build¬
ing, the Music Hall, Hunter
House and the Woman’s Gym,
will report to the auditorium. At
9:45, upon the ringing of two
short bells, they will return to
nine o’clock class. Group II, stu¬
dents in even numbered rooms
of C building, all rooms of D
building, Band and ROTC, Tech¬
nology and the Men’s Gym, will
then report to the auditorium for
the second assembly, after which
all students will report to ten
o’clock classes.
The CHRONICLE’S 1940 - 41
War Poll given yesterday to 3000
students kept the office windows
of 37C ablaze far into last night.
Tabulaters found opinions of
men and women widely varied on
certain matters, more agreed on
others. Less sympathetic to the
first question, “Should the U. S.
enter the war as an active fight¬
ing agent?” were the women,
seven percent of whom said yes,
92 percent, no. Men, who would
be the one to participate in the
"active participation” were less
enthusiastic, giving the affirma¬
tive only two percent.
PUGNACIOUS
Ninety-eight percent of the
women would favor war if the
U. S. were attacked, of men, 89
percent would defend our shores.
Best ballaneed were the men on
the query, “Do you think the U.
S. should go to war if Germany
wins the battle of Britain and
carries the attack to the British
colonies,” 50 percent said yes, 50
percent no.
Tied to a draw among both
the men and the women was
question No. 2, relative to the
spreading of totalitarian govern¬
ment.
QUESTION TICKLISH
Perhaps most ticklish of all
the questions in the ballott at the
present time was the last,
“Should we enter the war if Ja¬
pan attacks the Dutch East In¬
dies,” an occurance which may
occur in the future. An affirma¬
tive vote of 20 percent from the
women, 70 from tile men was re¬
corded.
Some students displayed temp¬
er, reviling the War Poll as
propaganda. To a small percent¬
age of the student body the poll
was taken as a big joke. Older,
more intelligent students used it
as a medium of expression for
their ideas.
Do you favor national conscription?
Do you favor increased armaments?

Swamped with business, PJC’s
Board of Representatives has
been holding daybreak meetings
at 7 a. m..on both East and West
Campuses. When last Friday
dawned the Board was holding
its third meeting of the week
listening to:
1. Beaming Norm Stanger
resign as Pep Commissioner
because “my cheer leading du¬
ties and studies take up all my
time.” In turn Stanger recom¬
mended his friend, gangling Ed
Vath as “a very capable man
for the job.” t
VATH’S PLANS
2. Vath outlined his plans for
the year before the Board and
was unanimously appointed Pep
Commissioner. Chief plans were:
(a) Gigantic “P” formed with
Christmas lights in rooting sec¬
tion during Rose Bowl blackout.
(b) Mass “pep” rally in down¬
town theater and “caravans of
cars to show visitors the town.”
(c) Reviving campus whisker-
ino with prizes presented to
"longest beards” at the Compton
game, November 15.
ONE IN 7000
3. Financial “bottleneck”
caused by the rule requiring
Finance Secretary Jim Bley’s
signature on all requisitions,
AWS President Kitty Eastman
and Representative Bob Mar-
dian said that “often financial
emergencies arise when it is
impossible to find ONE student
in 7000.” To remedy the situ¬
ation it was provided that:
(a) Associate President Jerry
Adams could sign requisitions in
Eley’s place.
(b) When Eley is off-campus.
President Harlan Erickson can
sign in his place.
Do you think the U. I should go to war if attacked?
Do you think the U. S. should go to war if any U. S. territory were attacked?
Do you think the U. S. should go to war if our Maritime rights were violated?
Speaker's Bureau
Tryouts Today
Of interest to all speakers,
whether experienced or not, will
be the tryouts for the Speaker’s
Bureau, now in its second semes¬
ter of active work at PJC. Form¬
ed last year to give speech stu¬
dents a chance to participate in
active work along their lines,
members are given an opportu¬
nity to speak for clubs and fra¬
ternal orders in Pasadena and
surrounding territory.
President Mort Brandler an¬
nounces that tryouts for new
Bureau members will be held
both today and tomorrow from
3 to 5 p. m. in room 104D and
that interested would-be mem¬
bers should prepare a three min¬
ute speech to be given before a
judging committee. No former
speech-making experience is re¬
quired and the Bureau urges
faculty members to try out.
In addition to service points,
membership in the Phi Rho Pi
PJC’s honorary speech fraternity
may be obtained by outstanding
work on the Bureau.
Do you think the U. S. should go to war if Germany wins and attacks colonies?
Do you think the U. S. should go to war if Japan attacks Dutch Fast Indies?
A large group of fluttering
hands showed beyond a doubt,
Monday last, the officers of the
Frosh Women’s Club for the
coming year. Toni MeClung was
the chosen one for prexy, to be
aided and abetted by Mary Louise
Gulack as vice-president.
