COUNCILS ARE RECOMMENDED TO BOARD RESTRICTIVE CLUB DETAILS THIS WEEK Vol. XXVI Pasadena, California, October 16, 1934 No. 5 Putnam In Favor Student Desks Will Repose In Union Building Pledg es of Clubs Are T ri-Organization School Dance Is Given Tomorrow Newly-Elected Officers Recommend Students’ Class Council Positions Freshman List Not Yet Compiled For Announcement; Board Of Representatives Approves The Entire Sophomore Aggregation At Weekly Meeting Judicial duties covering the entire student body from the incoming freshman to the outgoing senior have been ex¬ ercised by the officers of the senior, junior, sophomore and freshman classes in the selection of the councils for the com- Of Bond City Building Inspector Hopes Issue W ill Pass At Polls “All that anyone needs to do to find out whether the junior college buildings should have been con¬ demned is to walk through the framework of the three main buildings, and he will readily rea¬ lize the necessity for adequate housing facilities for that school, declared Walter Putnam, Pasadena city building inspector, in a re¬ cent interview. Mr. Putnam further stated that the State Division of Architecture made a thorough examination of the junior college buildings last spring. “Under the new law if the build¬ ings are condemned by the state, the building inspector of that lo¬ cality and the Board of Education are jointly held responsible for any of the students who are al¬ lowed to remain in these buildings. This was the reason for the build¬ ing of tent city and the transfer¬ ring of the art department to the Catholic school across from the junior college campus.” “Not only are we held responsi¬ ble but also we are liable to prose¬ cution for manslaughter,” declared the inspector, “and this necessi¬ tated the tearing down of the con¬ demned structures.” When asked if he was in favor of the bond issue being put through in the coming election, Mr. Put¬ nam replied, “Indeed. I am highly in favor of the forthcoming bond issue and sincerely hope that the people of Pasadena will deem it proper to vote for bonds. “If the bond issue is successful, plans for rebuilding the school will be commenced immediately. The Luis Agassiz and the Jane Addams buildings will remain practically the same as they were, except for the strengthening of the beams and a better construc¬ tion which will house our students safely in the future.” However, the inspector stated that the Hor¬ ace Mann building would probably have the third story taken off in the new rebuilding plans. The building inspector smiled confidentially as the interview closed and said that he hoped that the students of the junior college would not have to continue under their present conditions. With various civic organizations discussing the $375,000 school bond election scheduled for October 26. the interest of the students and faculty has been directed toward promoting the success of this issue in a general meeting sponsored hy the Patrons’ association in the Civic auditorium on October 23. According to statements made at a meeting held a few weeks ago. by the civic organizations of Pasa¬ dena. the taxpayers have been saved considerable money by the employment of SERA labor to dis¬ mantle the condemned structures. Alpha, C.S.F.

Other officers elected were: vice-president, James Parsons; sec¬ retary, Carolyn Rough; treasurer, Bill Moir. At the C. S. F., lower division honor group, meeting, Delos Flint was selected to lead as president with the assistance of Richard Burleigh, as vice-president; Anna Katherine Jones, as secretary; Don Holton, as treasurer; Helen Wads¬ worth as publicity manager. Due to the absence of George C. Merideth, assistant superintendent of schools, Miss Kathleen D. Loly, head of the P. J. C. language de¬ partment, was the main speaker at the Alpha meeting, using as her’ topic her summer trip to Europe. Faculty advisers of the two so¬ cieties are Miss Sara Talbott, Miss Mildred Wellborn, and Miss Flor¬ ence Brubaker. TUSCAN PLANS A tentative date of October 29 has been set for the Tuscan club dance, according to Margaret Hal- deman, president of the organiza¬ tion. New members will be initiated at the hop, which will be held at the home of an old members. The Tuscan club has a two-fold aim, social and service, with the aiding of new students stressed as service, said the president. Figuratively having moved over the entire campus, student body offices will finally come to rest in the student union build¬ ing, now nearing completion on the hockey field east of the wom¬ en’s gym, according to James P. O’Mara, dean of men. At the beginning of the se¬ mester it was planned to house student officers in the entrance hall of the astronomy building. Lack of room made this impos¬ sible. With the completion of the new structure the office was to be placed in the space vacated by the bank. One small desk in the outer office of Miss Catherine J. Rob¬ bins, dean of women, has been the only facility for carrying on student government activities this semester. J. C.

Whiskers to Be Vogue of J.C.

For twelve days the J. C. he-men will be allowed to groom and encourage their respective mops, and yet re¬ main among the elite in society circles. The final reckoning will be one of the features of the big bon¬ fire and rally for the Long Beach football game, Friday evening, November 3. And an extra fifteen minutes in bed every morning will not be the only reward for the contestants, for the prize-winning foliage will reward its master with a silver loving cup and shaving brush, to be donated by the Lancers. Contestants must sign up on Monday, October 22, at the Lancer office, near tent 1, clean-shaven. But from then on everything’s fair but skin surgery. Last year’s “whiskerino” contest was won by Bill Ruediger.
