Pasadena Chronicle, October 25, 1935

TO MEET COMPTON FRIDAY JXioaticiui Щ (fhromclc SENIOR-SOPH WEEK TO START Vol XXVII Pasadena, California, October 25, 1935 No. 6 Work Set For Mann Structure Main Building Expected To Be Completed Soon After Others EMPLOYS 36 MEN Three Honorary Fellowships For J. C. Instructors Plans For Reconstruction Of Addams Building With Officials Authorization of the final demo¬ lition of the former Horace Mann structure, exclusive of the stage block which now houses the library, was issued by the board of educa¬ tion recently. This means that what was for¬ merly the main building of this campus — comprising the adminis¬ tration and student body offices, the library, several department centers and the offices of the Cam¬ pus, Chronicle and Vo-mag — will possibly be ready for occupation shortly' after the reconstruction of the former Louis Agassiz and Jane Addams structure is com¬ pleted. This is the first step towards the complete reconstruction of the Mann structure. The other two buildings are both near complete demolition now. An average of 36 men have been employed upon the project which is under the direction of the PWA. Nearly 20 per cent of the general contract has been completed now. Expected to be returned to the board of education yesterday, plans for the reconstruction of the Ad¬ dams building are still in the hands of the State Division of Ar¬ chitecture. Demolition of the Louis Agassiz was completed last week and rebuilding is in progress. Workmen are now cutting chases in the old basement walls. Exter¬ ior colums for the new building will be later stepped in these chases. Preparation of plans for the Mann building is now in progress at the office of Cyril Bennett, Pasa¬ dena architect. Mr. Bennett pre¬ pared the new plans for the Louis Agassiz and Jane Addams build¬ ings. Officials believe that the new plans for the main structure will be completed simultaneously with the finish of the demolition on the structure so that reconstruction will start as soon as possible. Announced this week by Ru¬ fus B. Von KleinSmid, president of U. S. C., three members of the junior college faculty were elected to the position of "Hon¬ orary Fellowship of Research." Only nine were elected to this post-graduate org a n i z a t i о n which has the world from which to choose members. Faculty members for the fel¬ lowship are Dr. John W. Harbe- йоп, principal of the Pasadena junior college, Dr. Hardin Hughes, professor of philosophy, and Dr. Irving VVeitzel, coun¬ selor of the college.

Entrance to the fellowship gives all library privileges to members, as well as permission to attend all classrooms and lectures at U. S. C. together with the use of a private room in the library when working on research problems.

The contest is open to all 13th and 14th year students. The general topic will be subdi¬ vided into 25 or 30 topics. “The Political Aspects of the Next Gen¬ eration” and “The Effect of the Dole on the Coming Generation” are typical subdivisions. The try¬ -out speeches will be three to four minutes long. Tryouts for the contest will be held Thursday, November 7, at 2 and 3 o’clock. Students trying out at 2 p. m. will draw their topics at 1 p. m., and those trying out at 3 p. m. will draw at 2 p. m. Six to eight finalists will be chosen to compete at a dinner on November 13, which will be at¬ tended by student and faculty rep¬ resentatives. A medal set with a diamond will be presented to the winner by the sponsor of the con¬ test. Finalists will speak four to six minutes on their topics. C. 0. Arnold, Pasadena mer¬ chant, has sponsored this contest for seven years to encourage col¬ lege students in extemporaneous speaking. Two of his children at¬ tended school at this college, Frank and Fanny Arnold. Students entering the contest should sign up in T-52 with Mrs. Irene Peters. Crackling forth a spirit of vic¬ tory over Long Beach junior col¬ lege, the annual Pasadena bonfire will light local skies Hallowe’en night at Tournament park when thousands of collegians gather to drag the Viking effigy from its vic¬ torious position. Thirty-four whiskerino contest- jants will vie for “champion whis- kerenette” in the competition i sponsored by Lancers under the direction of Pat Paddock. Song ! leaders will judge the beards and j award a silver loving cup to the winner. Lanoers will build the Vik- jing pyre Wednesday night. Bur¬ ling their vigil, Spartans custom¬ arily offer refreshments. Song leaders and yell kings in costumes reminiscent of the gayest nineties are to set the pace for the | pep commission plans to have all collegians appear at this solely stu¬ dent enterprise in old clothes. Billie Crain, aided by Kay West, iBertille Glanville, Frances Shep¬ ard and Sadie Sellars are arrang¬ ing costume plans. The pep commission, headed by- Bud Paulson, has taken complete charge of all program arrange¬ ments. A prominent football au¬ thority will give a short talk, coaches and the' varsity team will be introduced preceding the main event of the evening. Prominently featured on the program will be the chariot race between seniors, juniors, sopho¬ mores and freshmen. Twenty-five men from each class will draw a chariot containing the class presi¬ dents. Bob Lounsberry takes ac¬ tive chairmanship of this commit¬ tee and plans several trips around the burning bonfire with the victor to be named by the commission. Cheer Leaders Morgan West, Kenny Ledgerwood and Vernon Lief have prepared new yells for the rally and will stage a stunt centering around the Viking effigy combined with the “Rickety Rax” cheer. Smiles will be at a premium until the bonfire as members of the com¬ mission and representative student body officers hold a secret ballot to pick the “Smile Queen of the Bon¬ fire” from the student body at large. She will be crowned and will light the bonfire. Ruth Jones heads the contest group arranging for the competition. New card tricks will be tried if seating arrangements can be pro¬ vided, according to Jack Page, chairman of the card trick com¬ mittee. “Because of the success of tlie L. A. J. C. stunts we hope that it will be possible to work them again at Long Beach,” said Paul¬ son. Stuart McCullough is working with Audre L. Stong, Bulldog band mentor, to arrange for band med¬ leys and tricks, aided by Stuart Russel. Bulldog- Tartar Fray Changed To This Evening - * - Last minute changes in the eagerly anticipated Bulldog- Tartar clash moved the start¬ ing time from Saturday .aft¬ ernoon to Friday night at 7 :45. The game will be played on Compton’s field, as was orig¬ inally scheduled. The Tartar gridiron possesses one of the best equipped lighting systems of southland jaysees. This game is the second one to be played away from the Rose Bowl by the Crown city outfit this season. Boasting a vastly rejuvenated eleven, Coach McNeish is drilling extensively on the six-man diamond de¬ fense hoping to atone for the defeats of the last two years by the Tartars. Because of the swift, cagey bombardment he plans to launch, the Tartars will have to try penetrating the Jine. With two identical systems and two different plans of attack, the game will be one of the season’s classic encounters. Plans For Week Are Completed Inaugurate First Class Week In History Of Junior College ANNOUNCE EVENTS The student court will embark on a new policy tomorrow of hold¬ ing open court at which all stu¬ dents, offenders or otherwise, may attend in T-l during the assembly period. Fines will be meted out to students who indulge in such pastimes as smoking, gambling, incorrect parking or other misde¬ meanors. This policy, instigated by Chief Justice Carl Deisenroth, is new this year. “The members of ths court,” said Deisenroth, “can see no rea¬ son why violators of the self-im¬ posed regulations of the student body should be held secret. The right of the students to see how these violators are dealt with has been insisted upon by myself and Associate Justices Raymond Kahn and Jane Hazenbush.” Students who attend this open court session may be amused at the appearance of faculty members who are not exempt from paying fines when they disobey student body rules. EDUCATOR TALKS TO J. C. WOMEN Annual Guild Play Chosen “Skidding,” a three-act comedy of modern American life by Aur- ania Rouveral, was selected by the Players’ Guild for their annual play at a meeting held Tuesday in 1C with Andrew Carnahan presid¬ ing in the absence of President Bill McGowan, who was ill. All mem¬ bers of the Guild are eligible for tryouts which will be held Thurs¬ day in 1C at two and three o’clock. Judges will be members of the faculty oral arts tryout committee and every person not cast for a role or understudy part will be on the production staff. Last year’s play was the “Passing of the Third I Floor Back,” a modern morality play. Before that “The Black Fla¬ mingo,” a French revolutionary drama was given. The Guild also decided to take a trip to San Diego on Saturday, No¬ vember 2, to see the fair and the Shakespearian plays in the Globe theater. RAY TALK GIVEN TO BIBLE GROUP Continuing her series of lectures, Mrs. James Wallace, educator in the field of human relations, spoke to a group of college women stu¬ dents on social and personality ad¬ justments yesterday afternoon, in St. Philip’s auditorium. Using a question and answer method, Mrs. Wallace said: “Since a well adjusted individual pro¬ gresses much more intelligently and readily than a poorly-adjusted individual, personality development is demanding an ever-increasing amount of attention from young people.” Testing of diamond rings, spuri¬ ous or genuine, was one of the angles of Irwin Moon’s demon¬ stration of his polarized lights and ultra-violet ray machines at the social meeting of the Bible club at the Lake Avenue Congre¬ gational church last Friday night. Games were played and refresh¬ ments were served to the 50 guests that assembled for the first open narty of this club this semester. President Virginia Chamberlain announced the next similar meet¬ ing will be held on the evening of November 8.
