An expected 1000 student root¬
ers, the men wearing rooter’s
caps and the women waving pom¬
poms, will make up PJC’s organ¬
ized rooting section tonight, ac¬
cording to Pep Commissioner Red
South. An additional 4000 students
will probably be at the game, but
if they run true to Pasadena form,
they won’t go to the effort of get¬
ting their rooter’s caps and pom¬
poms.
The rooting section will be organ¬
ized as it is at all major universities,
with the men on one side and the
women on the other. This enables the

Triton council plans
informal initiation
Triton council, women’s service
club, active in promoting friendship
within the school, will hold an informal
initiation of its new west campus
members, October 29 at one of the
local beaches.
Time out for scribes ; they
have to study for triads too
There will be no Chronicle published
next week, as pressure of studying for
triad exams doesn’t leave enough time
for staffmen to do their work. The
next Chron will be published Novem¬
ber 3.
Academic publicity to be emphasized
in PJC press bureau’s 39-40 program
A sharp change in the policy of Pasadena junior college’s press bureau
which will place publicity emphasis on the academic phase of the school
was announced this week by Bob Allison, student publicity director, with
the completion of staff organization.
The bureau has been enlarged with the addition of several staff repor¬
ters so that school publicity may not only be covered more completely but
also more widely distributed. Department heads have been assigned indi¬
vidual reporters who will work with their department throughout the entire
semester, contributing to downtown and surrounding city papers.
Wayne L. Hodges, journalism instructor, is faculty supervisor of the
bureau and David W. Reidy, public relations chairman, is administrative
director.
Staff reporters are Dale Clayton, Bob Hardgrove, Carol Bortin, Margot
Cuppet, Dee Dee Cope, Charles Allen, Lealand Risk, Jim Marugg, Joe Black-
stock, Tom Burdick, Walter Ball and Toni Faust.
West campus organization of a similar press bureau is as yet incom¬
plete.
“This affords a fine opportunity for
any parents to ask questions concern¬
ing student leadership,” she said.
There will be a social hour and tea
immediately following the meeting.
New debate classes to open
all interested should come
Debate class meetings are held on
Tuesday-Thursday at 7:30 to 9 a.h. in
170C. A new class time will start Mon¬
day, 2 to 4 pm, also in 170C.
Any students who are interested in
debate may come, Williams Evans, de¬
bate coach, announced. It is not neces¬
sary to take a course in debate to be in
the debating squad.
Secretarial help discussed
by principal *s council
Allotments of secretarial help for
departments were discussed at the
principal’s council meeting last week.
The meetings, held in Dr. John W.
Harbeson’s office every two weeks, are
made up of the administration courses
and the heads of the departments. The
meetings consist of discussions of
school policies, information to teachers,
and curriculum, which combined, make
up the business meeting.
There are three ways in which Dr.
Harbeson can make contact with the
heads of the departments. The first is
by the faculty meetings, the second is
by personal contact, and the third is
by the council meetings.
Why cowbells prohibited
“There is good reason for Lancers taking cowbells and paper away from PJC
rooters at the Friday night games,” Audre L. Stong, dean of men, said. “At one
of the recent games a girl’s eardrum was broken by having a cowbell rung in
her ear. Also several cases of people having their glasses broken by students
who swing their arms wildly throwing paper and any other substance which
comes into their hands. The city has threatened to charge $50 a game to pay
janitors to clean the Rose bowl. This money would have to come out of the
student body fund, so it is to your advantage to leave cowbells and paper at
home.”
Lancers will be posted at all future games to stop students who persist in
annoying people at the games.
Pasadena has
edge over
Compton
by FRANK CLEMENT
The night of all sport nights is
here. The Bulldogs and the Tar¬
tars are clashing on the gridiron in
the Rose bowl tonight and it looks
like the Bulldogs are going to re¬
peat last year’s victory even with
Jackie Robinson gone.
Neither school boasts of a great
squad this year. Last year the excite¬
ment was at fever pitch as both squads
were undefeated and the game was to
decide the Southern California junior
college championship. Every grid fan
knows how the Bulldogs came from
behind and, led by Jackie Robinson,
soundly thumped the Tartars, 20 to 6.
SEASON’S PEAK
But that is past history. Tonight will
not be a game of great grid import¬
ance. But to the students of the two
schools, this contest represents the
peak of the season. In junior college
circles, the Pasadena-Compton game
signifies the same as such collegiate
classics as the Army-Navy, Harvard-
Yale, and USC-Notre Dame contests.
The Tartars have been unvictorious
so far this season. Riverside junior
college fielded a strong eleven to de¬
feat them 7 to 6 in the season opener!
The next two games were ties, Loyola
holding them 7 to 7, and Modesto play¬
ing them to a 6 to 6 standstill. Last
Friday the southern branch of the
University of Idaho defeated them 16
to 0. In each of these games the Tar¬
tars have outgained their opponents
but have lacked scoring punch when
they reached striking territory.
ANALYSIS
A man to man analysis of the two
teams gives Pasadena a one-player
edge. Opposing Clem Tomerlin at one
end spot will be Denney Houston.
Houston is considered the standout of
the Tartar line and is an aggressive
player. But Tomerlin is the standout
of the Bulldog line and is also a little
noted for his aggressiveness. Tomerlin
gets a clear edge as he is touted as
the outstanding junior college wing-
man in the state.
Morris Jackson will find himself up
against Don Stuart at one tackle posi¬
tion. Stuart came from USC where he
played frosh ball. He is a “220-pound
red-headed demon” according to Tar-

Penton in Davis’
place as parking
commissioner
The post of east campus parking
commissioner, vacated last week by
Joe Davis, has been filled by Standish
Penton, appointed by Chief Justice
Harlan Erickson.
Penton heads a commission which
includes both volunteers and NY A
workers. No deadline has been set yet
for volunteer applications to serve on
this commission. Commissioner’s du¬
ties include enforcing the student code
and supervising and directing traffic
in the various parking lots. They have
the same powers of enforcement as
have the Lancers and Spartans. Chet
Kiger is west campus commissioner.
Smooth-looking “Stan” Penton has
been a0student at PJC for the past two
years. He was a commissioner last
year, chief deputy commissioner ..to Joe
Davis this year. Whether parking lines
in the main parking lot were to be re¬
painted or whether any changes in
parking cars would go into effect in
the unpaved, unmarked lots, has not
been announced.
Music hour
The Campus Music hour, classical
recording program, invites students to
request numbers to be played. This
invitation has always stood, but to
make it more convenient, three blank
lines appear below next week’s pro¬
gram which may be filled out and de¬
posited in Mrs. Carolyn Weersing’s box
in the east campus teachers’ mail room
or sent to her from the west campus
by inter-campus messenger service.
