Sponsored jointly by the Asso¬ ciated Men and Associatted Wom¬ en Students, with Dorothy Marsh, second vice-president of the A. W. S., as general chairman, the com¬ mittee in charge has taken as its first step the formation of an or¬ ganized rooting section for home football games, which will make its first appearance tomorrow aft¬ ernoon when the lower division varsity and lightweight teams play Santa Ana. Rooting Section A section will he roped off for rooters, and card stunts are sched¬ uled for the more important con¬ tests. The Bulldog band will co¬ operate by remaining in its stands until the end of each game, at which time rooters and the band will join in rendering the alma mater. It is planned to erect a victory flag-pole at Horrell field, with a specially made flag to be flown whenever a junior college team is victorious in athletic com¬ bat. To Contact Groups Every organization will be con¬ tacted individually in an effort to make the campaign a success. Members of the committee are: Lambert Westling, student body president; Loretta Melton, A. W. S. president; Vincent Fite, A. M. S. president; Anona Alexander, president of A. W. S. council; Eleanor Northrup, junior repre¬ sentative; Art Ryon, yell-king; Vera Higbee, song-leader; Jack Shepherd, Lancer president; Olive Pupis, Spartan head.; Frances Mc- Nerney, president of W.

Delegates To Discuss Own Sex Lauds System World Spirit Prevails At ?Y’ Meeting 50 Delegates From Four Other J. C.’s Attend Conference Internationalism prevailed at the luncheon and conference, sponsored jointly by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M'. C. A. at the downtown “Y” last Saturday.

The conference was opened by a business session in which the presi¬ dent of the Long Beach association presided. Ada Leake, from Chaffee J. C., president of the Southern California Y. W.’s, gave the open¬ ing welcome. Miss Charlotte Mc- Hose, Pasadena junior college sec¬ retary, gave a brief history of the growth of the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Clara M. Schweiso talked on the International Y. W. C. A. Round-Table Held Helen Mangold presented facts on the organization of a planning campaign and a finance committee, at round-table discussion, Rev. Allan Hunter, pastor of Mount Hollywood Congregational church, spoke on “Race.” Dr. Hunter brought out the fact that many opinions of other races are based on second-hand information rather than actual acquaintance or knowl¬ edge. He also discussed what the attitude of the Y. W., as a Chris¬ tian organization should be. Plan's were laid for the education of stu¬ dents in regard to race. Miss Frances Warnecke, a grad¬ uate of U. C. L. A., gave a talk at the luncheon on the World Stu¬ dent Christian Federation, telling of her own experience at the 1927 conference, which was held in In¬ dia. Miss Warnecke stated that the World. Christian Student Fed¬ eration was the only organization of this kind to survive the war. This group has been a service to students migrating from one coun¬ try to another, by seeing that they come into contact with the out¬ standing people of the community, and by securing financial aid for those who need it, it was related. “Friction-SolVent” Christian federations are the most efficient solvent of friction (Continued on page three) Reps Appoint Oratory Head Joe Phelps, active in oratory and debate circles, was appointed man¬ ager of upper division oratory by the board of representatives at its regular meeting Tuesday.

Auditorium Bond Issue to Be Voted on at Month End Shall Pasadena junior college have its earthquake-weaken¬ ed walls merely faced or shall they be torn down and built new to insure greater safety for the students? The bond issue providing for the degree of improvements to be made on the school will be voted, on at the end of this month. Cost of the improve¬ ments is expected to be compara¬ tively small, according to Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal of the jun¬ ior college. Dr. Harbeson not only expressed his wish for stronger building con¬ struction in the main building, but for slight rebuilding in the Horace Mann and Jane Addams buildings. In the auditorium, a new stage, a larger balcony, new seats, and a public-address system are need If the bond issue should through, it will be perhaps th weeks later before a bid for construction will be accepted. T1 work will begin immediately. During the time that the e wing is under construction, cla rooms will be doubled in the w wing and vice versa. The gi gymnasium will be divided i: classrooms by celotex walls. Gi gymnasium work will then beco entirely an outdoor activity. NO. 5 6-4-4 Plan Is Praised In Report 200-Page Volume Evinces Success of Crown City Plan By Madeline Currie Pasadena junior college and the 6-4-4 system have been presented with a complete vindication as a contribution to educational admin¬ istration. The much-discussed “Pas- adena” system of education has been subjected to minute criticism and recent research in the schools here has brought much light on the subject. As a result, the report of Dr. William M. Proctor, nationally known educator and professor of education at Stanford university, who made a complete investigation of the city school system during the year 1931-1932, to the board of education, has been released for general circulation in the past two weeks, in a 200-page book, with his entire findings. Every Test Met “The six-four-four plan has met every reasonable test and has more than justified itself. It has been proven sufficiently flexible and, ad¬ justable to different situations,” as is clearly shown by the fact that the cities of Ventura and Compton have successfully adopted the sys¬ tem, the report stated. Under the present system “the children of Pasadena have bene¬ fited by richer offerings of cur¬ ricula, greater continuity in courses of study and better counseling and guidance as is evidenced by the re¬ markable holding power of all grades up to and including the twelfth and thirteenth.” The edu¬ cator found that the “quality of work done in the certificate courses” of the junior college meets with the standards set up by the colleges .and major universities. Successful Unification Dr. Proctor believes that the upper and lower divisions of the junior college have been success¬ fully unified, and feels that the presence of older and more mature students in the institutions with comparatively young students, as is the case in local junior high (Continued on page three) Monrovia Skit Takes Prize ‘Chain Gang Fugitive’ Takes First Award at Junior Frolic Carried away by the villain’s coarse laugh, juniors awarded first prize of a box of chocolates to the Monrovia group, for their skit, “The Return of Emerson Twitch,” or “I’m a Fugitive from a Chain Gang,” at their circus last Friday night in the women’s gym. Other entertainment under the big top included skits oy Alham¬ bra, Muir Tech, and South Pasa¬ dena graduates. While the crowd surged over the sawdust, Ray Kendall and Dodo Ennis offered, a variety act and led school songs. Bob Simpson astound¬ ed with his fire-eating, and “The Yogi Houdini” turned Winchell, in uncovering class romances. Cast of the winning show, head¬ ed by Marjorie Loomis, includes: Norbert Bundsshuk, as Hector Zilch, the father; Helen Lockwood, as Violethe, the heroine; Ivan Wil¬ son, as Emerson Twitch, th* hero; Andy Crenshaw played the part of Daniel Desmond, the villain; Fred Wickman, as the sheriff, and, the bloodhound’s part was played bv “Wu,” a Pekingese. John Anderson, Office Announce No Exclusions Dean John Anderson has a New Deal. As the semester started the records dean prepared to issue the usual massive class exclusion lists. The deadline for No. 4 reg¬ istration cards came and went, and all was well. Several more days passed; all was, in fact, still well, except for a few with¬ drawals. Came the second week. No miscreants in sight. Then a resounding cry, a vic¬ tory whoop. Shouted the joyful dean and cohorts, “For the first time in the history of Pasadena junior college it has not been necessary for the records office to send out exclusion lists for failure to hand in No. 4 cards.”
