First Club Period Of Year
7:15 Given As New Starting Time By McAuley;
Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz Selected As Grand
Marshal Of Rose Bowl Event
By Jim L. Mathews
Depiction of fifty years of Pasadena history with floats and bands
will be a pbe-game feature for the Long Beach football game tonight
in the Rose Bowl. Due to the large number of entries, the starting
time has been moved up fifteen minutes from 7:30, according to Leland
C. "Mac” McAuley, general chairman for this event.
Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz has-»
been selected as Grand Marshal of
the parade and will lead the line
with his mounted posse. Following
the grand marshall will be the city
directors of Pasadena and the mem¬
bers of the Board of Education.
Following these honored guests
will be 60 floats entered by clubs
and organizations of Pasadena jun¬
ior college and downtown organiza¬
tions. Bicycles, horses, bands, an¬
cient autos, as well as the floats,
will make up the line of march.
With the fine response received
from all civic organizations this
parade promises to be one of the
finest traditions started at this
school since it was incorporated,
according to McAuley.
Students who have not as yet
exchanged their student body tick¬
ets for reserved seat tickets should
obtain them at the bookstore be¬
fore leaving school, in order to
save time upon arrival at the Rose
Bowl. It is very important that
these tickets be exchanged as all
seats for this event are reserved
and general admission tickets will
not be honored, according to H. F.
Hardey, chairman of the ticket
cofmittee.
As yet it is not too late to sign
up for jobs as ushers for this game.
Men students interested will receive
service points for their efforts and
should sign up with “Mac” before
three o’clock today.
Campus service clubs, namely
Argonauts, Lancers, Spartans and
Silver Screen, are prepared for the
largest crowd ever to attend any
Pasadena jaysee event excepting
the graduation exercises.
The line of march for the parade
will start from the east car tun¬
nel, travel north up the track, turn
in front of the judging stand, and
then go back down the west side
of the track. Each year depicted
will leave the tunnel entrance at

Class Dance
Is Postponed
Due to difficulty in securing a
hall, the sophomore class dance
will not be held October 30, as
originally scheduled, Dick Balch,
sophomore class president, an¬
nounced last Wednesday.
The hall, which they originally
planned to use was unavailable at
the last moment. Since it was such
a late date, the people in charge
were unable to secure another lo¬
cation to hold the dance.
The date set for the dance is as
yet indefinite, but it may be held
December 8, at the Civic auditor¬
ium, in conjunction with the fresh¬
man dance. The recently appointed
committee chairmen of the sopho¬
more class are Bruce Jessup, to be
in charge of the dance; Eveleth
Clark, in charge of special events;
Jeannette Eastman is in charge of
the sophomore class float; and Stel-
lanne Lotz is in charge of publicity.
TRAIN SCHEDULED
TO GO TO GAME
Chartered by the pep commis¬
sion at low rates for student
rooters, a special train for the
Ventura football game, to be held
at Ventura, November 7, will leave
Pasadena at 4:00 o’clock in the af¬
ternoon, according to Jack Page,
pep commissioner. The train will
arrive at Ventura at 6:30, about
an hour before the game time.
Tickets will cost $1.25 per per¬
son for a round trip, and they may
be purchased at the bank in the
student union building. The band
and football team wall also travel
on the same train, but wall ride in
separate cars from the students.
Upon arrival of the students in
Ventura it is planned to organize
a rooting section of Pasadenans at
the game.
BIBLE CLUB
Paul E. Billeter, business educa¬
tion teacher, was the speaker at the
Bible club meeting held last Fri¬
day. He spoke on the history of
the club and told how the organi¬

Principal Tells
New Schedule
This Afternoon
In order to cut down the
number of absences for work on
the floats and pageant prepara¬
tions, this schedule will be fol¬
lowed on Friday, October 23,
according to Dr. John W. Har-
beson, principal.
Periods 1 to IV, regular Fri¬
day schedule; period V, from
1:10 to 1:40; period VI, from
1:50 to 2:20; period VII, from

Women Form
Aviation Club
Weekly Meetings Will Be
Held; Group Begun
. Last Year
- ♦ - -
At a meeting of the Women’s
Aviation club held last Tuesday,
October 20, in 117T, A. T. Hay,
Jr., aeronautics instructor, accep¬
ted an invitation extended to him
to become adviser of the club. Ruth
Battelle, last semester’s vice-presi¬
dent, acted as chairman of the
group, which is made up of both
women faculty members and stu¬
dents, united for the purpose of
learning more about aviation.
Members present voted to hold
meetings weekly; once evdly two
weeks during the regular Friday
assembly period, and the alternate
week on Tuesday afternoons. At
these meetings. Mr. Hay will
lecture on principles and general
information concerning aviation. It
is hoped that trips through local
factories and airports can be made,
as well as attending such affairs as
the annual Aircraft Show and Na¬
tional Aeronautical association
meetings in a body.
A report was made of group
rates offered the club by Dick Al¬
len, of the Alhambra airport. Both
Edward Cornelison, head of the
technical department, who was
present at the meeting and Mr.
Hay, himself a licensed trans¬
port pilot, expressed the opinion
that the rates for dual and solo in¬
struction were very reasonable.
Preceding the discussion of com¬
ing activities, Mr. Hay told about
the convention of the Society of
Automotive Engineers, held last
week in Los Angeles, which he at¬
tended.
Miss Catherine J. Robbins, dean
of women, is a member of the
group; and the hope was expressed
by club members that more mem¬
bers of the administrative and
teaching staff will join.
Another meeting, open to every¬
one interested, will be held this
morning during assembly period in
11'7T, for the purpose of choosing
a name and electing officers.
PLAYERS’ GUILD
HOLDS INITIATION
The formal initiation of Players’
Guild was conducted by the presi¬
dent, Bob Hansen, at a meeting last
week. Plans for the float were dis¬
cussed and a committee was ap¬
pointed to make the float. Those
who will be on the float are Roy
Winter, Bob Hansen, Gordon Fos¬
ter, Patsy Burr and Mary Lou
Henry.
An informal tea was held Friday
afternoon, October 16, and enter¬
tainment was provided by Severine
C'allalian, who gave a reading, and
Celeste Callahan, who sang several
pieces.
Held Under Direction
Of Committee
In order to provide club members
with a meeting of their club on
the campus, and to provide non¬
club members with a chance to get
acquainted with the aims and acti¬
vities of the various campus non-
restrictive organizations, the first
club period of the year was held
here during the assembly period
last Friday morning.
Non-restrictive and restrictive
clubs held their meetings on the
campus, and two general meetings
were held for the benefit of those
with no club affiliation.
A list of the meetings, and an
account of the activities carried on
at each follows:
ROGER WILLIAMS
That Roger Williams may not
have been a Baptist was revealed
by Reverend Stanley Silke, of the
First Baptist church, while speak¬
ing to the Roger Williams club,
Baptist organization of Pasadena
junior college, in 207E.
He mentioned further that al¬
though we do not know for sure
that Roger Wiliams was a Baptist
we do know that he started the
democratic principals for which the
Baptist church stands today.
MAGNATURA
The aims and purpose of Magna-
tura club were discussed at their
meeting last Friday. It strives to
promote and encourage good will
in commerce, business and industry,
and seeks to acquaint its members
with the business men of the com¬
munity and brings about many use¬
ful contacts, according to Maurice
Hoerger, adviser. Bob Chambers,
the scheduled speaker, postponed
his talk on “Future Industrial Jap¬
an” to the next regular club meet¬
ing.

dinning. Since Glendinning is a re¬
turned graduate, he will be eligible
only on non-conference and non¬
school affairs.”
“The class has numerous prob¬
able plans for the year,” Mr. Da¬
vis said, “such as competing in the
big debate tourney to be given by
the Western Association of
Speech, Monday to Wednesday, in
the week preceding Thanksgiving.
Also a national debate tour of the
National Phi Rho club, meeting in
Long Beach, sometime near Easter
vacation. And later, debaters Pat¬

means that no school, which is a
regular member of the conference,
will be permitted to play against
Pasadena junior college in any in¬
ter-collegiate sport. The letter was
dated October 16, 1936.
Interviews Given
In an exclusive interview with
the Chronicle, Dr. Harbeson and
James P. O’Mara, dean of men,
opened all correspondence on the
affair to this newspaper, and
placed the minutes of the confer¬
ence’s meetings since January,
1935, in the hands of the editors.
“This is a matter which directly
concerns the associated students,”
said Dr. Harbeson, “and as such,
must not be kept from them.” The
following is a brief history of the
matter, as learned from the written
records, which the school admin¬
istration turned over to the Chron¬
icle.
When, in February of 1935, the
Western Division Athleic confer¬
ence, represented by the junior
colleges of Compton, Glendale,
Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasade¬
na, Santa Monica and Ventura,
granted Pasadena a two year leave
of absence from conference compe¬
tition, it was intended as an ex¬
periment to see just what would be
the effect of having junior colleges
use a university setup in their
athletic teams.
History Told
Dr. Harbeson presented the idea
at a meeting of the conference, in
January, 1935. He stated the
problem, which the junior college
had to meet, as being the unifica¬
tion of its upper and lower divi¬
sions. It has long been a point of
endeavor to eliminate the definite
break between the 12th and 13th
years in this type of school. The
athletic setup was seen as one
very good way of remedying this
difficulty.
Under the old system it was cus¬
tomary to have an upper and a
lower division team in each sport.
Under the new system, however,
there is a varsity .and a frosh team
in every sport; much as is main¬
tained in a university. Already,
since the football season of 1935,
there has been a phenomenal in¬
crease in the support of junior col¬
lege athletics; due partly to the
new system and partly to pep or¬
ganizations.
At any rate, the Western Divi-
