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? mmissioner 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.
