Vol. XXII PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, OCTOBER 10, 1930 No. 4 C.S.F. WELCOMES NEW HONORARY MEMBERS - + - Junior High Graduates Greeted in Society Party October 2 in Social Hall Greetings were extended to 65 honorary members of California Scholarship Federation, Chapter I, by Principal John W. Harbeson at a party held in the social hall of В building on October 2. J. P. O’Mara, dean of men, Linn W. Hattersley, coun¬ selor, and Miss Kathleen D. Loly, adviser of C. S. F., also VIEWS OF THE NEWS - by — ■ DOUGLAS McMANN Pasadena is to journey to San Diego this year un-chaperoned when the upper divisions of both schools clash, on the gridiron. Sev¬ eral years ago it was more than the football squads that clashed, with people not in the garb of players finding a line to buck up¬ on returning. Junior college students should not find it hard to conduct them¬ selves in the proper manner while away from home. Nothing out of the ordinary should happen at San Diego this year to cause anything to be said. Gossip, no matter how small, has the speed of a comet, so actions .should be executed accord¬ ingly. Not only the team, but the student body should make a vie tory this year. Let’s see! — t— Pacing issues and meeting prob¬ lems keep the student body officers busy beyond the wildest imagina¬ tions of the students. Current this week, we are very much interested in controlling the serious traffic problem. In previous years, paid caretakers have patrolled the park¬ ing lots. This year it is the duty of student officers to take the reins. Members of a committee espe¬ cially organized for the occasion are to be on hand for the next few weeks to straighten things up a bit on die back yard driveway. It is customary to disregard the sug¬ gestions of the young men who are trying to aid the car owners in be¬ ing able to find their belongings after the closing bell has sounded. Co-operate to the fullest extent, and not only help the committee, but youinself. —t— The cry to get into some activity is still hot. School would be much more interesting and enjoyable if some activity held the gaze of every student. Moderation, of course, will find a happy medium. The year is yet young and there is much to do. Dramatics, athletics, oral arts, publications, student leadership, and club affiliations bid for your support. Surely one should claim each student enrolled here before the year has elapsed. - + - - Football Tickets Are Distributed at Bank — f— Alfred C. Wilcox, treasurer of the student bank, when questioned said, “It is absolutely necessary for the students to present their stu¬ dent body receipt when obtaining their football tickets.” The ticket books were first issued last Mon¬ day, and those persons who are go¬ ing to San Diego Saturday must get them at once. The fund for student body pur¬ poses is approximately $14,000, according to the treasurer. Speech Contestants to be Chosen Soon — • — This year’s Arnold Extempor¬ aneous Contest banquet will be held in the Social Hall of the college in the evening of Octo¬ ber 24, under the auspices of the Phi Rho Pi, honorary forensics fraternity. The main topic for the con¬ test .this year, “California’s Foreign Problem,” will have about 15 subtopics for which the contestants will draw. The drawings will be held between 1:15 and 3:15 on the afternoon of October 15. The time will be noted, and in half an hour the contestants will reassemble and give their speeches, which must be not longer than five minutes duration. All students planning to enter the contest must sign up by 8:00 a. m., October 15. CONTESTTS SPONSORED In order to arouse interest in dramatics, a one-act play-writing contest, to begin October 10, will be sponsored by the Pasadena chapter of the Delta Psi Omega, a national honorary dramatics frat¬ ernity open to upper division stu¬ dents only. All students, both up¬ per and lower division, are eligible to enter the contest, which will close January 10, thus giving the contestants the Christmas holidays in which to complete their manu¬ scripts. As many plays as desir¬ ed may be submitted by any one contestant. The author of the prize winning play will be given the honor of producing it, this being considered sufficient reward for any sincere playwright. щ This is the first contest of this nature ever to be held in this school, and the Delta Psi Omega, sponsors of the contest, expect an active interest to be taken in it. The officers of the Delta Psi Om¬ ega are as follows: Bernard Mel- ekian, stage manager; Helen Mc- Masters, business manager; Larry Smith, usher; Miss E. E. Keppie, adviser. Bernard Melekian, stage manager, gives his views of the contest in this statement: “Every 'Student in this school is urged to make a def¬ inite effort to take this contest ser¬ iously and to put forth his best talents in becoming a candidate. Anyone wishing further informa¬ tion may come to 19-C, which will be the headquarters of the con¬ test.” - - + - - APOLOGY Through an unfortunate oversight in last week’s Chron¬ icle, credit was not given the Pasadena Post for the use of the picture of Howard Pattee which was used on the front page of that issue. welcomed the new members, for¬ merly affiliated with scholarship societies in other schools, into the growing P. J. C. chapter. Re¬ freshments and card games gave those present an opportunity to be¬ come acquainted. The committee in charge consisted of Rollin Bennett, president, Kathleeen Dolley, social chairman, and Audrey Wishard, program chairman, Miss M. Well¬ born, and Miss M. Perry, members of the Faculty Scholarship Com¬ mittee. Honorary members of C. S. F. Chapter I, first semester of 1930- 31 from Washington junior high school are: Gerlinda Becker, Pa¬ tricia Bush, Jane Hincks, Betty Hughes, Dorothy Jester, Rodney May, Alice Roussell, Phyllis Schlichting.

The Junior Chamber of Com¬ merce took charge of the week’s activities; in conjunction with this group was the United States for¬ est service, represented by May- hew Davis, and the city fire de¬ partment, under Chief E. F. Coop. When interviewed, Chief Coop stated, “Since President Hoover has issued a proclamation calling for special care during fire pre¬ vention week, as American citizens we can do our individual part to help reduce the annual toll of lives and property taken by fire in the United States,” Pasadena stands high in fire prevention, being fifth in cities of its class in lessening fire losses, by the National Chamber of Com¬ merce, which annually conducts a fire prevention contest. - 4 - Honor Award Won by 1 930 Mad Dog The National contest for maga¬ zine, yearbook, and literary pub¬ lications rated the last year’s Mad Dog of P.

M. Upshaw, has been organized and is sucessfully coping with the parking situation on the school lot. Machines will be admitted at the north entrance, according to officer Upshaw, only until the first two parking lines are complete, when traffic will be admitted from the south entrance only. Those who enter the driveway at an exces¬ sive rate of speed will be warned, and in case of continued violations, subjected to arrest. Formerly, Officer Upshaw stated, speeders made it unsafe for pedes¬ trians in and around the drive¬ ways. Now, however, the drives will not only be safe for pedes- rians, but will be kept clear of machines by “no parking” signs on the curbing. Exit and entrance right-of-ways on the lot are wider than formerly and will be kept absolutely clear, as all the parking spaces are marked with newly painted lines. G. M. Upshaw will personally supervise parking regulation only until such :a time as things are functioning smoothly, when all con¬ trol will be given to the A. S. B. Court. Students who are working now on the parking committee are: — Robbins Little, Les Fenel, Donald Trumbull, Herb Smith, and Arthur McCulloch. P. J. C.

This is a national asso¬ ciation and will be attended by several of the administration.
