Vol. XXV Pasadena, California, October 27, 1933 N0.6 Addresses Sophs, Spooks Will Dance In Graveyard Big Crowd Change System! Says Scientific Attitude Is Necessary for Good Of Country Speaking before the largest crowd yet gathered for a bleacher assembly, Norman Thomas, emi¬ nent philosopher and statesman, and candidate of the Socialist party for the presidency of the United States in 1928 and 1932, Wednesday morning told the pres¬ ent generation that it is its prob¬ lem to change the misconceived ideas of social organization and philanthropy. Launching into the body of his address, Mr. Thomas said, “You never get far without a convic¬ tion.” He believes a scientific atti¬ tude is not only in having an open mind, but in basing this attitude on facts and the ability to change his opinion in the light of new facts. “Hoop-la” Out “The hoop-la period in education is over,” declared the speaker. “Several years ago, when big schools were being built through¬ out the country, they were ma¬ chines for turning out Babbitts and political morons.” Why? The famed socialist answers that edu¬ cational subjects were not open to controversy. But there has been a change in the methods of teach¬ ing, and students are now being taught both sides of a question — “controversy makes school subjects interesting and important.” Turning the line of thought of human interpretation of facts to a sociological vein, the white-haired challenger held the timely cotton strike in the San Joaquin valley as an example of the unfairness of submissing man by starvation. Use Education Raising a plea that if this gen¬ eration desires peace, it must use education as a means to discrimi¬ nate between facts, Mr. Thomas drew applause with his conviction, “We must approach the problems of a complex world intelligently without class prejudice.” “So far, man has been able to control physical forces, with out controlling social forces,” the speaker went on to say, and dis¬ cussed the perfection of machin¬ ery, and lack of ability to man¬ age it to the benefit of the hu¬ man race. Human nature played a large ( Continued on Page 3) Council OK’s Men’s Group Twenty-seven clubs now compose the restrictive inter-club council, with the admittance of Zyro, a men’s club, to the council, Friday, October 13, at the meeting of that organization.

She directed the carnival play, “Thanks Awfully,” as well as taking the part of Daisy in “Bachelor’s Quarters.” During the summer Miss Gaze did extra work at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios.

Tonight the ballroom of the Ho¬ tel Vista del Arroyo will contain more skeletons and other eerie con¬ traptions than ever before in its history, when the upper class of the lower division gathers to cele¬ brate the forthcoming holiday. Unusual Bids Scribbling hastily on the ribs of “their” skeleton, the feminine contingent will be favored with the most unusual bids in the his¬ tory of class affairs, according to Foster Markolf, president. The tags are to be chiseled into the form of a pallbearer’s delight, a coffin, while within the grizzly box, bony remains of former merry-makers will reside. Now and again the occupant will have his ribs tickled as the ingenues quickly jot down their promised hops. , Leighton Noble and his orches¬ tra will be present to furnish the musical offerings, to which the gathering will glide about the gayly decorated ballroom.

Makes New Ruling Physical education grades will no longer be included in the eight curricular points counting toward membership in the C. S. F., ac¬ cording to a resolution adopted at the meeting of C. S. F. advisers last Saturday. Miss Mildred Wellborn, who was Pasadena’s representative, declared that it had not yet been decided whether or not the physical edu¬ cation grade might be included in the two extra-scholastic points, which may also count toward C. S. F. membership. Another resolution which may affect Pasadena, is one permitting schools which have unusual or complicated grading systems, to present to the registrar of eligibil¬ ity their own proposals concerning membership requirements. Pasa¬ dena’s system of grading, based upon the college unit system, may make it necessary for the faculty committee to submit a proposal. New Song Is Inaugurated Tomorrow’s football game, with Los Angeles junior college, will inaugurate a new combined yell and song for Pasadena, composed * by Audre L. Stong, Bulldog band director. Along with this intro¬ duction will be novel drills, aug¬ mented by vocal choruses of both schools’ songs, prepared by the combined organizations, and a se¬ lection, from a Walt Disney “Silly Symphony,” adopted to fit the oc¬ casion. The new song-yell, “Up Pasa¬ dena,” follows: Up Pasadena, up Pasadena, bring the Bulldogs through, Up Pasadena, up Pasadena, for your colors true, Up Pasadena, up Pasadena, we’re all in the fray. (Yell — Bulldogs ! Bulldogs! Bull- • dogs !) Aye win today. Aye (whistle four times) Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! (whistle four times) Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Take ’em! Bulldogs, Yeah!
