For the first time in the history
of the junior college, the Alumni
association of Pasadena will pub¬
lish a magazine called the “Pasa¬
dena Alumnus,” which will be
mailed to graduates of this insti¬
tution, according to Ned F. Stir¬
ling, head of the publications de¬

is to precede the Long Beach
game, and the football team of
the junior college, written by stu¬
dents here, articles by alumni and

McMann Manager
Douglas McMann, former stu¬

living in or near Pasadena, ac¬
cording to Mr. Stirling. Besides
this issue, it will also be printed

Program Planned
As a pep rally for the Long
Beach game the Alumni associa¬
tion will sponsor a radio broadcast
over station KPPC on October 21.
The program is under the direc¬
tion of Vincent N. Parsons, direc¬
tor of the radio course given at
the junior college.
Mr. McMann will announce the
program, which will include a talk
by Dr. George Coates, president of
the association, and talks by the
football coaches of Long Beach
and Pasadena. Tentative plans are
being made to have such former
students as Charles Paddock,
sports writer, and Donald Novis,
singer, on the program.
AMS To Plan
Constitution
Drawing up a constitution to
govern the A. M. S. will be the
next and foremost job of the A.
M. S. board, according to Paul
A. M. S. president. The associated
men students have had no official
constitution since the school ceased
being Pasadena high in 1926.
The new constitution will con¬
form as much as possible to the A.
W. S. constitution. In effect, an¬
other vice-president will be added
to the list of officers, in addition
to the president, secretary and
treasurer.
Bill Dunham vice-president to be,
has dropped from school and in his
place the A. M. S. board has ap¬
pointed Clark Mallery and Peter
Prouse, editor of the student hand¬
book.
The next A. M. S. Stag is to be
held November 3, with Paul Doug¬
las attempting to get either Bill
Henry, Los Angeles Times sports
editor, or Charles Paddock as the
speaker of the evening.
“Attendance hit a new high at
the last stag, according to Paul
Douglas, and the coming one is to
be better,” he said.
The annual football banquet,
sponsored by the A. W. S. will be
held December 5, according to
Carolyn Munn, president of the A.
W. S.
WAA SERVES TEA
AT FACULTY MEET
Featuring a talk by Dr. Thomas
A. Perkins of the University of
Kansas, the regular faculty meet¬
ing was held last Wednesday after¬
noon.
Dr. Perkins’ speech on educa¬
tional psychology specially em¬
phasized the social functions of a
school. He announced that the sub¬
ject of his talk at the next meet¬
ing will be “The Application of
Educational Psychology.”
Previous to the meeting, re¬
freshments were served by the W.
A. A.
“Our annual faculty tea was a
great success,” proclaimed Thelma
Westling, W. A. A. president. “It
is an annual tradition for the W. A.
A. executive board, acting as re¬
ception committee, to serve re¬
freshments to the faculty before
one of their regular meetings, and
this year, I believe, was our best
tea.”
Those in charge of the affair
were Pat McGough, refreshments:
Mary Gartz, decorations; and
Frances Pfeiffer, clean-up.
Will Speak
Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal
of Pasadena juuior college, who
will talk to the first monthly
convocation next Monday.
Club Entries
For Pageant
Are Needed
Organizations Are Slow In
Getting Parade Dates
Says McAuley
With but two weeks remaining
before the Long Beach game, there
are many dates left to be filled by
organizations that have been slow
in submitting their entries for the
Pageant of Progress parade, ac¬
cording to Leland “Mac” McAuley,
general director of the pageant.
Mr. McAuley also stated that,
“This parade can be a success, if
all the organizations will get into
the spirit and support it by making
their entries. Decision upon a sub¬
ject at present, is not necessary,
but the clubs should reserve a
date.” Deadline for entrants is Fri¬
day, October 16, and those wanting
to enter should see Mr. McAuley.
To date there are 19 clubs that
have entered floats representing
civic affairs, and 15 floats repre¬
senting Pasadena junior college
history. It is hoped that 100 or¬
ganizations will participate in the
representation of fifty years of
Pasadena’s history. This plan will
allow two organizations for one
date. Therefore, eliminating the
monopoly on one date and subject,
according to Mr. McAuley.
Many clubs have been depleted by
graduating students and conse¬
quently it is difficult for them to
plan a float. Another contrary fac¬
tor lies in the fact that several of
the organizations have not, as yet,
had their first meetings, as re¬
vealed by Mr. McAuley.

Modern Art
Exhibit Held
For the benefit of the students
of architecture of Pasadena junior
college, there is located on the
north side of the main entrance of
the Technology building a case,
containing drawings, which repre¬
sent the last word in modern style
houses, according to William J.
Stone, architectural instructor.
These illustrations .are the result
of a national competition for draw¬
ings of fireproof concrete houses.
The Portland Cement association is
sponsoring this contest in order to
show the possibilities in the use of
concrete. Pencil Points, an archi¬
tecture magazine, published the
drawings, and Mr. Stone took the
illustrations on display from this
and several other magazines of the
same type.
Two different types of homes
were submitted ; hc*ises suitable for
the north and houses for the south.
Competing with 1500 other sub¬
missions, Walter J. Theist's draw¬
ings of the northern home, and
Aris A. Kemp’s drawing of a
southern home, won first prizes.
T-SQUARE GROUP
PLANS EXCURSION
“The township of Montecito, lo¬
cated near Santa Barbara, which
consists of the finest and largest
estates in California, will be the
location for our first full-day ex¬
cursion for high architectural
study,” announced William J. Stone,
adviser of the T-Square club, at
that group’s first meeting last Fri-
dav, during which various future
activities were discussed.

MEN’S GYM SCENE
‘Making Good At College’
Subject Of Dean’s
Message
Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal,
will be the speaker at the first
regular convocation, scheduled for
Monday, October 12, in the men’s
gym. Dr. Harbeson will speak on
“Making Good at College,” a talk
which will cover the academic and
social phases of college life as
adapted to Pasadena junior college.
“I will discuss some of the pit-
falls which a college student might
encounter, and some of the special
opportunities which college life of¬
fers, but which are sometimes
missed,” said Dr. Harbeson. “Goals
of the college student will also be
considered. These viewpoints are
based upon twenty years of per¬
sonal observation.”
Designed to be of especial inter¬
est to new students, the convocation
will be so arranged as to include
most of the new students and
freshmen, according to Dr. Harbe¬
son. It is estimated that 1500 stu¬
dents will be present at the convo¬
cation to hear the address.
The meeting will be held after
second period, where instructors
will tell classes whether or not they
are to attend. Students in the
classes designated to go to the
bleachers during convocation peri¬
od will receive their slips to be
signed for third period teachers.
The white slips required of stu¬
dents who attend the meeting may
be gotten from second period
teachers. Students will sign their
own slips and hand them in at
the beginning of third period.
Council Plans
Fall Meeting
For the purpose of discussing a
class float to be entered in the
pageant of progress on October 23,
the senior council held a meeting
Monday, October 5, in 100T. Jack
Stocking, class president, intro¬
duced Edward A. Comelison, mem¬
ber of the faculty advisory com¬
mittee. Miss Gladys Lee, of the
foreign language department; Miss
Ellen Denning, of the life science
department, Robert P. Hays, of
the life science department, and
Miss Eleanor Homer, of the library
staff, were named as the other fac¬
ulty committee members.
Nineteen hundred and twenty-six
was the year chosen for the senior
class float, and a discussion was
held as to whether to depict the
civc or school side, or both. The
possibility of having Gilmore
Brown, founder of the Pasadena
community playhouse, to ride on
the float was discussed, as it was
in 1926 that Mr. Brown was
awarded the Nobel prize.
George Rettie was appointed
chairman of the committee to plan
the float, with Eloise Jones and
Jane Hazenbush as assistants. Vol¬
unteer committee members to help
on the float were Glenn Pettit, Paul
Brinegar, Jack Anderson, Frances
Pfeiffer, Beverly Miller, Evelyn
Calvert, Doris Petty and Betty
Ray, however, “All members of the
council will be expected to offer
their assistance,” added Stocking.
A second meeting will be held soon.
CLUB ANNOUNCES

Straw Vote To
Reveal Campus
Political Views
For the purpose of determin¬
ing the political status of the
Pasadena junior college for the
coming presidential election,
the Chronicle will sponsor a
straw vote in the paper next
week. Ballots will be printed
in the Chronicle of next Friday.
The results will b only a ten¬
tative rating but if the student
body will cooperate rather than
trying to “stuff” the ballot
boxes a fair showing of the po¬
litical minds on the campus will
be shown by the vote. Ballot
boxes will be placed in the stu¬
dent body office and in the
Chronicle office for the return
of the ballots.
Beginning next week an open
forum column will be run each
week, for the benefit of any stu¬
dents having suggestions or
comments, favorable or other¬
wise, about the school. All let¬
ters should be signed by the
writer, although names will be
withheld if so desired.
Restrictive
Bids Will Be
Distributed
Four Weeks Of Rushing
Climaxed By Start
Of Pledging
Climaxing four weeks of rushing,
restrictive club bids will be issued
today at two o’clock from the of¬
fices of the dean of men and the
dean of women. The new system of
bidding that was inaugurated last
semester will prevail.
“Male rushees will receive their
bids in James P. O’Mara’s office,
while the females will trek to Miss
Catherine J. Robbins’ office for
theirs,” said Helen Sperry, R. I. C.
C. president. “Those in charge will
appreciate it if club members stay
out of the aforesaid building.
“Rushees will be given a siip of
paper upon which they will write
their first, second and third choices
as to clubs. They will then present
this slip to the person in charge,
and will receive but one bid. In
case none of the three choices are
there, the rushee will not be al¬
lowed a fourth choice. Invitations
for acceptance dinners must be in¬
cluded WITH the bid. If any outfit
invites the rushees to acceptance or
pledge dinners before the issuing
of the bids, they will be severely
dealt with by the Restrictive In¬
ter-Club Council,” continued Miss
Sperry.
Rushing and pledging were dis¬
cussed at a meeting of presidents
of the women’s restrictive clubs at
a meeting held last Monday in Miss
Robbins’ office. To date, there have
been no complaints turned in either
to Miss Robbins or to the president
of the council. Any charges of dir¬
ty rushing must be made immedi¬
ately, as no charges can be en¬
forced later than two weeks after
the offense was committed.
1200 Alumni
Sent Letters
Approximately 1200 Pasadena
junior college alumni, chosen from
the years 1926 to 1934, have been
mailed a questionnaire, compiled by
George E. Breece and Cecil C.
Stewart, P. J. C. counselors, con¬
cerning their vocational, social and
private lives, at the present time.
This strictly confidential ques¬
tionnaire, to be returned to Pasa¬
dena junior college by October 17,
is made in an effort to better as¬
certain the interests and needs of
present and future P. J. C. stu¬
dents, by having experienced grad¬
uates tell how Pasadena junior col¬
lege rendered service to them, by
training them well or otherwise
for the vocational or college world,
according to Mr. Breece.
The purpose of this question¬
naire is, further, to remain on more
intimate terms with the graduate,
and to allow the man or woman,
not having found congenial work,
to be better placed through the
Pasadena junior college office.
Mr. Breece, voiced the opinion
that this survey should be of beni-
ficial nature to present and future
students of Pasadena junior col¬
lege, in preparing them for their
vocations in life.

matics group, is having a tea
next Sunday afternoon at the hom-,
