Bishop A. Wesley Discusses Peace Through World Federation
Rebellion m Argentina Discussed In First Convocation
Interested classes had the opportunity to hear the newly elected
Bishop of Latin America, Arthur F. Wesley, in the Sexson Auditor¬
ium on Wednesday, October 10.
Bishop Wesley has recently returned to this country from
Buenos Aires, where he headed a great social service project for fif¬
teen years. He is an authority on political, social and economic
problems in Argentina, and feels
that democracy will eventually
triumph in that turbulent coun¬
try, as the present government
is being forced into a more lib¬
eral policy by strong public sen¬
timent.
At present 20% of the people
are facist, but shortly before
Bishop Wesley left the country,
50,000 students marched against
Fascism, in spite of the fact that
most of the teachers are Fascist.
The Bishop has edited and pub¬
lished approximately forty books
in Spanish to promote Protes¬
tant work. For the past sixteen
years he has been treasurer of
the Board of Foreign Missions
for Eastern South America and
pastor of Boca Mission in Buenos
Aires. In social work he organi¬
zed Friendship House in Montevi¬
deo and Sweet Memorial Institute
in Santiago, Chile.

Theta Rho Pi, honorary radio
fraternity on campus, at a recent
meeting elected officers for this
semester. They are: president
Bill Hesson; vice-president, Lee
Jones; corresponding secretary,
Frances Evans; recording secre¬
tary, Dorothy Hoffman. Tryouts
for this club are to be held on
October 18, and a notice to this
effect will be posted in the bul¬
letin.
This semester, Theta Rho Pi is
to present one full length story
or play over KPPC. The decis¬
ion as to the name of the story
has not yet been made, but “Fall
of the House of Usher” and
“Prairie Sage” are under consid¬
eration.
Present adviser of the club is
Mr. N. Vincent Parsons, Chief
Engineer at KPPC.
Tonight’s half time entertain¬
ment during the Santa Monica
PJC game will feature a fire¬
works and band program which
is co-sponsored by the Pasadena
Fire Department and the PJC
Bulldog Band.
The theme is to be “Peace,” and
the display will be dedicated to
the servicemen returning from
overseas. The band is to stage
some trick formations while the
Firemen supervise the fireworks.
Fire Chief Bolz, J. B. Holmes
and Audre Stong, band leader and
Dean of Men are in charge of the
event.
Red Cross Unit
Starts Campaign
Taking part in a larger cam¬
paign to provide afghans for our
men in hospitals, the PJC Red
Cross Knitting Unit, starting
Monday, is sponsoring a drive to
start all able knitters on the
simple task of making afghan
squares. Yarn and a limited su¬
pply of needles will be provided
by the unit, and may be obtained
any hour in the Dean of Wo¬
men’s office. For these 6 by 6
inch squares, knitted on size 7
needles, Red Cross hours, club
points and service points are giv¬
en. When a sufficient number- of
the bright squares have been com¬
pleted, they will be bound into
an afghan 6 by 4 feet at the
next Red Cross Night after com¬
pletion.
In addition to this more simple
work, army heeless cast socks,
and jacket sweaters are availab¬
le for knitters with some exper-
ien. Advanced workers who wish
to make these much needed gar¬
ments .should leave their name
in the Dean of Women’s office, so
the yarn may be ordered.
Last year the unit included ov¬
er eightly workers, who turned
out over 70 children’s sweater
and beanie sets for Belgian re¬
lief, and about 20 army sleeveless
sweaters.
Shown at his desk in 14D is Dr. M. W. de Laubenfels, in¬
structor of Biology and Zoology, who spoke in this morning’s
Convocation program on a united World Federation.
Victory Chest Board Plans
Drive Started Leader Meet
Offering- something new in the way of convocations was this morning’s first program of
the semester which was presented by Dr. Max W. de Laubenfels, instructor of Biology and
Zoology at PJC. j
Dr. de Laubenfels was introduced by PJC alumna Pat Ring and began the program
with a few remarks regarding war and its evils. The over-all theme of the convocation was
to bring to the attention of the students a practical method by which wars could be abolish¬
ed and peace retained and to
point out to them what their part
would be in the years- to come.
Planning and arranging the en¬
tire assembly, Dr. de Laubenfels
illustrated his talk with a set of
pantomimes in which student ac¬
tors Jack Schroeder, Dan Hall,
Keith Cutting, Oliver Duffey and
Howard Hammer participated.
The first skit showed the actors
as bandits in an old Western dis¬
pute which resulted in the death
of one; this illustrated the man¬
ner in which our problems were
solved in the past.
The second pantomime showed
a parson saying that shooting is
not right; one of the bandits a-
grees but the other still insists
that his way is best and he shoots
the first in the back. This was
to illustrate the treachery at
Pearl Harbor, and that as long
as one nation has armed forces,
no nation is safe.
The third scene represented
World War H. Two bandits,
Germany and Japan, proclaimed
themselves the masters of all; the
other men revolted and after a
struggle drove the bandits from
the stage.
The two victors hold a confer¬
ence, pool their thoughts and a-
gree to set up a government by
agreement. Then there is a
quarrel and the two begin fight¬
ing again. At this point the
judge enters and settles the dis¬
agreement peacefully. This illus¬
trates the right way for interna¬
tional harmony; peace must be
preserved by means of law plus
a sheriff plus a government.
As an undergraduate in Social
Science, Dr. de Laubenfels attend¬
ed Oberlin College, and later
earned his doctor’s degree in Zo¬
ology at Stanford University; his
name has appeared in Who’s Who
in America. With three sons serv¬
ing in the Pacific, he feels very
strongly on the need for world
unity to end wars.
Football Circus
Tickets On Sale
Following the convocation pro-
gz-am this morning tickets will
be on sale for the football cir¬
cus to be held October 20. The
thirty-five cent tickets, if pur¬
chased on the campus, wifi pro¬
vide for needed welfare work a-
mong PJC students; such welfare
includes car fare, lunches and
eye glasses. Student body books
are not valid for this event. Tick¬
ets sold at the bowl will give no
revenue to the junior college.
The Football Circus is held an¬
nually to raise Community Chest
funds. Participants are the PJC
Bulldog and Bullpup teams and
the five junior high elevens. Half
time entertainment is also being
planned.
In addition to sales in the main
hall after convocation, tickets will
be available at the Triton win¬
dow and at the student bank.
With a goal set at $5,000 for
Pasadena Junior College, or a
little over one dollar per person,
the War Chest begans its drive
on October 10. Representatives
of the War Council, composed
primarily of Freshmen volun¬
teers, visited all 10:00 classes
Wednesday, collecting the dona¬
tions of students and faculty with
the stress on money donations.
Pledges were accepted only in
the case of those who had no
money with them and are to be
paid at the Student
чВапк
the fol¬
lowing week.
Esther Haines, War Council
Chairman, with the aid of Miss
Ida Hawes, adviser, has been in
charge of PJC’s part in the na¬
tion wide drive that has set for
Pasadena and Altadena, a goal of
$541,340. Introducing the drive
was the Victory Chest assembly
last Friday, at which the purpos¬
es for the funds collected were
stated. This money will be used
toward the support of the USO
and other organizations concerned
with the returning servicemen,
and for the rehabilitation of the
peoples of those nations that have
been devastated by war. In ad¬
dition to these immediate prob¬
lems are those constantly preva¬
lent, such as providing food and
clothing for unfortunate families,
and playgrounds and recreation¬
al facilities for childi'en of over¬
crowded ai'eas.
The Victory Chest is of service
to a greater number of people
than most similar organizations
and an added effort is being made
to achieve the goals of this first
peace time drive.
Since PJC is to be the host of
the coming Junior College Stu¬
dent Leadership Confei'ence, an
outline of that project was given
by Mr. Risser at the student
board meeting yesterday. Mr.
Risser, adviser of the boaz-d, said
that the planning of the confer¬
ence will be in charge of the stu¬
dent leadership class of which he
is the instructor.
The purpose of the conference
is to enable student leaders to get
to gether and to discuss student
governmental problems. Invota-
tion wil be sent to junior colleges
within a 130 mile l'adius of Pas¬
adena.
The board approved the pro¬
ject and appropriated money for
publicity purposes. A further ap¬
propriation will be made after the
finance committee has discussed
the matter.
A letter, written by Francis
Ring, representative at large,
was read by Mary Jane McAfee,
Clerk of the Board. The letter
asking that the Board of Educa¬
tion take steps for the building
of a new student union, was post¬
ed in 29 C for board members to
sign.
A pi'oposal that the cabinet be
split into two parts before the
board. This action, it is claimed,
would make the cabinet less un¬
wieldy and would tend to make
for greater cooperation between
secretaries whose duties touch
similar fields. Jean Bai’tlett, ASB
vice-president, spoke against the
pi'oposal and said that the cabi¬
net members were also opposed
to the change. The question was
tabled in the hope that the stu¬
dent leadership conference would
yield a solution.
The Host Club was granted
$100 for expenses, and $375 will
be taken from the general fund
to cover burglery insurance.
