Thelner Hoover Is
UCLA Photographer
—4—
Thelner Hoover, former student
of Pasadena junior college, was
recently appointed official photog¬
rapher for the University of Cali¬
fornia at Los Angeles, generally
conceded to be one of the most
important appointive offices on the
campus. While attending P. J. C.,
Mr. Hoover was interested in
journalism, and learned the fun¬
damentals of printing in the col¬
lege shop. He was also a mem¬
ber of the Sequoia social organi¬
zation.
The duties of the official pho¬
tographer include all photographic
work for the daily paper, the news
bureau and the year book, The
Southern Campus. Mr. Hoover’s
latest piece of work is a motion

newsreel which the Hollywood
Chamber of Commerce plans to
distribute throughout the United

University News bureau. Mr. Hoo¬
ver is now making plans for his
work for the Year Book.

Carnival Date to Be
Postponed to April
— ♦—
After much debating, the admin¬
istration has decided that it is ad¬
visable to postpone the carnival,
which was announced to be held
November 7. It will probably be
postponed until some time next
April. This postponement has been
made necessary because of the
many school activities and affairs
previously planned, and the admin¬
istration feels that by not holding
it until later the time and weather
will be more opportune.
Burton Holmes
Talks on Siam
Siam, where the ancient tradi¬
tions and customs of the orient are
fast succumbing to the ways of
the west through the modern in¬
terests of its king, was the sub¬
ject of a lecture Monday evening
by Burton Holmes, famous travel¬
er. The lecture Monday evening
was the first of a series of four by
eminent men which are being pre¬
sented in the P. J. C. auditorium
under the auspices of the Business
and Professional Womens’ club of
Pasadena.
Mr. Holmes illustrated his lec-
ure with motion pictures showing
the Buddist temples and the palace
of the king. Jungle scenes and
quaint customs of country life
were also presented'. Fantastic
music recorded in Siam accompa¬
nied the graceful Siamese dances.
That Siam is not a backward
country is shown by her fine net¬
work of railroads under the admin¬
istration. of the king’s brother
These railroads connect with the
Freneh-Indo China lines.
Three more lectures are sched¬
uled for December, January and
April. Prices for the entire
course are $4, $3.q0, and$3. Sin¬
gle tickets are 50 cents and $1.50.
Student tickets are $1.50 and $2.00.

Indications of the strength of

bate league will be shown by the
decisions of the coming debates
with Glendale, to be held Thursday
afternoon and evening at 3:30 and
7:30 p. m. in room 200-C.
Barbara Philips from Lancaster,
and Mark Gates from Santa Mon-

Modern Woman is a Failure,” in
the afterqoon. Barbara has had
some experience in debating, while

Uniform Motor Vehicle Act.” This
’ is the question to be debated on

and Alfred Escherich, both stu¬
dents from the lower division, with
no former experience, will debate
the affirmative of the question.
Dean George H. Bell, commis¬
sioner of the league, announced re¬
cently that each school is to sub¬
mit two questions to the commis¬
sion, who will tabulate them. The
six best questions will then be sent
to all the schools for a preferential
vote.
The questions submitted by Pas¬
adena are on the influence of chain
stores and on the abolition of in¬
tercollegiate athletics.
Football Coaches Commend P.J.C.
Spirit; Assembly Arouses Pep
- ♦ —
That such good school spirit as ; es and captains of the junior col-
is shown at Tasadena junior colege
is not often present i colleges, was
the opiion of Bill Spaulding and
Eddie Kienholtz, football coaches
of U.C.L.A. and Occidental, respec¬
tively, who spoke to the students
at the Pep assembly, Friday morn¬
ing. Besides the colorful decora¬
tions of the stage and the flashing
uniforms of the band, through the
music and yells there was a fight¬
ing spirt which, as Mr. O’Mara ex¬
pressed it, could be felt as well as
seen when one stepped into the
auditorium.
For the first time the new Bull¬
dog band of 84 pieces under the
direction of Audre Stong played
before the student body. The as¬
sembly was in charge of Jimmy
Scott, chairman of the Pep com¬
mission, who introduced the coach-
AWS Entertains
Grid Men at Dinner
Proving that sportsmanship is
the essence of all interscholastic
athletics, the A. W. S. sponsored
a supper for the victors and the
vanquished of the football game
held at the Rose Bowl last Satur¬
day night.
About 120 were served with hot
chocolate and sandwiches, which
were greatly appreciated as shown
by the yells that followed, among
them being one for the college co¬
eds. Louise Norton was in charge
of the serving, with Ruth Pfeifer,
Lyvonne Adams, Eunice Elton,
Carmen Reed, Isabel McLain, and
Fanny Arnold as her helpers.
The A. W. S. will give a supper
for the upper division after the
game at the Bowl next Saturday
lege teams and presented Mr.
O’Mara, who in turn presented the
two Los Angeles coaches, Eddie
Keinholtz and Bill Spaulding.
Coach Keinholtz’ assertion that
a player can learn more on the
football field in an hour than in a
class room in weeks met with in¬
stant acclaim by the students.
“Real character,” he said, is devel¬
oped in the process of training a
football player. Coach Spaulding
stressed the importance of keeping
up in the scholastic work of school
life in order to be free to play
wholeheartedly and with a mind
free from worries of any kind for¬
eign to the game.
The center section of the audi¬
torium was reserved for the girls’
rooting section. Several hundred
girls dressed in white and wearing
red and white scarves, occupied
these seats. The glee club sat in
the front and1 led in the singing of
the school songs.
Yells were led by the cheer lead¬
ers, in which the students joined
with a will.
Mr. Clark, the architect who had
charge of the auditorium, was in
the audience, it was announced.
Mr. Sexson was , also present.
462 Ticket Books Still
Unclaimed by Students
— f—
That the students of Pasadena
junior college are interested in
football is shown by the number
of football ticket books deliverel
this season. Out of 2361 members
who have paid up to date, 1899
have received their books. Walter
E. Wilcox, in charge of the junior
college bank, urges the 462 stu¬
dents who have not yet received
their books to get them as soon as
possible.
Prospects for a successful debat¬
ing season as far as P. J. C. is con¬
cerned seems rather dull in view of
the fact that P. J. C. has only two
veteran debaters, whereas Long
Beach junior college, which won
the championship last year, will de¬
pend upon the efforts of their same
team, Rodriguez and Stump.
The Pasadena veterans are Elva
Emerson and Geraldine Anderson,
who have had experience in inter¬
scholastic and intercollegiate de¬
bate. In commenting on the pros¬
pects of the debating year in ref¬
erence to P. J. C., Glenn Lembke,
debating instructor and coach,
says, “Long Beach is by far the
favorite to repeat its victory of .
last year. I would go as far as to }
say that they will be favorites to
the odds of two to one. The
whole issue rests upon the word¬
ing of the question.”
The schedule and question will
be submitted to the league by Dean
George H. Bell of Citrus junior
college. December 6 and March 12
are the dates settled upon for the
league debates. The league is di¬
vided ihto two equal divisions ac¬
cording to geographical regions.
Two colleges will be met on Decem¬
ber 6 and two more on March 12
will be met on different questions.
The two schools having the highest j
number of judges’ decisions in
each section will debate for the :
championship.
Los Angeles and Santa Monica
junior colleges have been taken
into the league this year, and El
Centro and Brawley junior colleges
have signified their desire to enter.
The other schools in the league are
Glendale, Compton, Santa Ana,
Long Beach, Fullerton, Citrus,
Chaffey, Pomona, Riverside, San
Bernardino, and Pasadena.

Women Needed
for Forestry
—4 —
“Why Study forestry? I think
that the facts that our forests
cover 2,000,000,000 acres and sup¬
ply the country with its fourth
largest industry are two quite suf¬
ficient reasons for studying for¬
estry. The purpose of conducting
forestry classes in P. J. C. is two¬
fold: to give students an opportun¬
ity to study the value of our for¬
ests and the need conserving them;
and to prepare interested students
for forestry work.” So said Will¬
iam G. Kohner, instructor in for¬
estry, 100-J.
“There is great opportunity for
sturdy and competent young men
as rangers. A love of the work is
essential, however, because fortunes
are not made here any more quick¬
ly than in teaching,” he continued.
“Although there is some opportun¬
ity for women in this course, very
few seem interested. I should like
very much to have a few more
women in my classes — even if they
do not intend to become rangers,
they will go out into women’s clubs
and leagues to influence public
opinion intelligently. fo have a
desire to plant a tree in the front
yard, and then consider your bit
toward forestation done is not
enough. So we conduct forestry
classes.”
