taken the placement examination
required of all 13-1 students, will

of the test.
A fee of $2.50 will be charged
for the test, and students should
report to the school bank in the
student union building as the place

The test includes a psychological,

Character Of
Student Body
Cong ratulated
Greetings and a hearty wel¬
come to students new and old.
We are beginning our final year
in tents and other improvised
quarters. By the end of the cur¬
rent school year we should be
ocupying one of the most mod¬
ern and best equipped junior col¬
lege plants in America. A great
new day is about to break for
Pasadena junior college.
One of the greatest assets of
the college has been the fine
character of our student body.
They have cooperated with fac¬
ulty and administration in the
great development we have ex¬
perienced in the past. I am sure
they will not fail as we work out
together our plans for a stronger
and better Pasadena junior col¬
lege.
May the year 1936-37 prove
for all of you one of rich per¬
sonal growth and development
and bring to you the sublime
satisfaction that only exemplary
citizenship and right living can
provide.
JOHN W. HARBESON,
_ Principal.

Union Houses
Student Aids
— ♦ — •
The student union building
houses one of the most important
units in this school. This building
was constructed mainly for the
purpose of harboring the bookstore.
Here students may buy their school
supplies, such as pens, paper, note¬
books and pencils. Books for upper
division classes are also on sale.
The store is under the management
of Maurice F. Hoerger, faculty
manager and Earl Holder, assistant
manager. “The bookstore will be
run on the same credit system as
formerly,” according to James P.
O’Mara, dean of men.
A soda fountain is also in the
Student Union building, where
sandwiches and drinks are served
throughout the day, and special
luncheons during both noon periods.

Mary Ona Tarner, who was vic¬
tor in the contest for Queen of the
Grand Central Air Terminal Expo¬
sition, left Monday, August 17, for
a trip to Washington, D. C. She

for the celebration on Saturday,
August 22.
Procedure of Registration
Revealed by Records Office
Stressing the importance of turning in registration card number
seven to the records office in the administration building before Mon¬
day of the second week of school, Dean John A. Anderson gave out
the following instructions for registration procedure:
Registration for the fall semester will begin at 7:45 o'clock on
Monday, September 14.
Freshmen whose names begin with
the letters A-L will report to tents
51-52, and those from M-Z will go
to the Hunter house. Any correc¬
tions in freshman programs will be
made by Miss Hawes, dean of gui¬
dance. Other students who have
corrections or changes will report
to their counselors.
Sophomores, juniors and seniors
will report to tents as follows:
A-Cas — T-l, T-7
Cat-For— T-2, T-8
Fos-Hum — T-3, T-9
Hun-McB — T-4, T-10
McC-Pu— T-5, T-ll
Py-Stre— T-6, T-12
Stri-Z— T-13 T-20.
Students whose study lists were
not made . out until after Tuesday,
September 8, will report to tents
14 and 21.
All students who call for their
study lists afternoon on Registra¬
tion day will find them as follows:
A-L — T-15, T-22
M-Z— T-16, T-23
Unless a change of program is
necessary, each student will regis¬
ter according to the original copy
of his study list. Changes of pro¬
gram will be made out- by counse¬
lors before the registration form
filled out. Only absolutely neces¬
sary changes wil be made on Reg¬
istration day.
The greatest care should be used
in filling out all parts 'of the regis¬
tration forms since these become
the permanent records for the sem¬
ester in all the administrative of¬
fices. Students are asked to use
pen and ink, to write plainly, and
not to hurry as there is plenty of
time to complete the registration
procedure. All registration blanks
must be accounted for.
Students who wish to defer pey-
ment of fees will fill out all regis¬
tration forms and report to the
cashier, after which they will con¬
fer with the Dean of Men or Dean
sf Women for approval of the de¬
ferment.
The registration number appear¬
ing on the study list will be copied
carefully by each students on card
number 7. This card must be signed
by all teachers before Thursday
evening and turned in to the office
and the identification card obtained.
Before any student may enter
class during the second week, he
must show this identification card
to all his teachers.
Attendance of all students begins
on Monday morning, September 14.
Absences incurred for any reason,
including failure to register at the
proper time, will become a part of
the permanent attendance record.
Petitions for excuses for absence
must be presented to Mrs. White
in the Women’s Gymnasium within
24 hours after the student’s return
to school. It is important that there
be no absences. Each student is
given an attendance grade which
becomes an important part of his
permanent record each semester.
Mrs. Mabel White, attendance of¬
ficial, stated that 11-ls should be
extremely careful about filing pe¬
titions for absence immediately af¬
ter the return to school. “Peti¬
tions should be filed before return¬
ing to classes,” she said, “as all
students who do not do so will ne¬
cessitate phoning the home by my
office.” She stressed the importance
of regular attendance to all stu¬
dents and, with Mr. Anderson,
urged a better record than that of
last year.
Appointments with counselors
may be made on registration day as
follows :
Mr. Breece and Mr. Stewart — T-27
Mis Burbaker and Dr. Lembke — T28
Dr. Turrell and Dr. Weitzel — T29

Library New
Vo-Mag, junior college vocation¬
al magazine, will publish on No¬
vember fourth with an issue de¬
voted to science, according to Dean
Ida E. Hawes, adviser and sponsor
of the publication. This year will
mark the fourth year of the maga¬
zine, which has taken All-Ameri¬
can honors several times.
“While nothing definite in re¬
gard to material is available now,”
stated Miss Hawes, “further infor¬
mation will be given out in the
near future.” Popular science will
be the general theme of the first
issue, while two other issues will
appear during the spring semester.
Subscriptions for the three is¬
sues may be obtained from Miss
Hawes’ office at sixty cents. Indi¬
vidual copies are twenty-five cents.
A staff is now being formulated,
according to Miss Hawes, which will
be announced in a few weeks. Per¬
sons interested in working on the
publication should leave their name
at her office as soon as possible.
With evacuation from its former
location on the stage made neces¬
sary when rebuilding commenced,
the junior college library is now lo¬
cated on the left hand side of the
second floor of the women’s gym.
A larger shelving area, a greater
number of study tables, and better
lighting and airing facilities have
made the new library far superior,
insofar as study and browsing are
concerned, to the old one, accord¬
ing to Miss Winifred Skinner, head
librarian.
“By a new system,” Miss Skinner
said, “we will be able to increase
the efficiency of the library service
one hundred per cent. Only those
actually working in the stacks will
be required to check with the li¬
brarian as they leave, thus not
interfering with those who have
been using their own texts.”
Mrs. Margaret B. McCaughna, re¬
turning from a year leave of ab¬
sence, has returned to the library
staff, Miss Skinner said.

New lists for Alpha Gamma Sig¬
ma scholarship society, will be an¬
nounced by the second or third week
of school, according to Miss Mildred
Wellborn, adviser for the group.
They are being compiled from the
office records.
Students earning 30 grade qoints
in 12 or more units and no grade
lower than a C are eligible. Courses
numbered from 1-49 or over 100
must have grades of A or B, while
courses numbering from 50-99 must
have grades of A, B, or C. Physi¬
cal education does not count.
All entering 13-1’s who were
seal-bearers in C. S. F. or life
members of any national scholastic
society are automatically associate
members of the Alpha Gamma Sig¬
ma, according to Miss Wellborn.
Although lower division students
are eligible to Alpha because of the
amendment passed last Spring, the
school affiliation with the Califor¬
nia Scholarship Federation will be
maintained. Eligibility for this
group will be figured on the basis
of 44 grade points.
The first meeting of -the year, be
ing planned by Elsa Sauer, only-
returning officer of Alpha from last
year, will be held Tuesday, October
6. Further information can be ob¬
tained from Miss Wellborn or Al¬
pha members in T-35 any time dur¬
ing hte next two weeks.
IS CHAIRMAN
Max B. Harlow, instructor in
aeronautical design at Pasadena
junior college, acted as chairman of
the technical committee at the Na¬
tional Air Races, held at Mines
field last week. This committee wa:
responsible for the timing and
checking of all planes in the races
cently indicated that in order to
preserve traditions the two com¬
pleted structures will continue to
be called the Jane Addams and the
Louis Agassiz buildings, but that
the former will also be known as
the Life Science and the latter as
the Physical Science buildings.
The Addams building will house
the biological science and home ec¬
onomics departments and the Agas¬
siz structure is to be the new home
of all the physical science classes,
and temporarily the art classes.
The library, under the direction of
Miss Winifred E. Skinner, head li¬
brarian, has been moved during the
past summer from the stage of the
old auditorium of the former Hor¬
ace Mann structure to the women’s
gym, where it will remain until
quarters are ready for it in the
Mann building.
Pointing out as a great asset the
fact that room capacity has been
greatly increased in the hew build¬
ings, Dr. Harbeson asserted that
Whereas the capacity of rooms in
the old building was but 25, now
40 to 50 students may be accomo¬
dated in each of the rooms without
crowding, and there is a lecture
theater equipped with sliding black¬
boards and a demonstration table
conveniently positioned in each of
the completed structures that will
easily hold 160 students.
Administration offices will re¬
main in their present location, and
mathematics, English, languages,
social sciences and other academic
classes will continue to be held in
tents until the main structure is
completed, said officials.
A survey of the completed struc¬
ture and a prolonged study of the
bluprints of the as yet unfinished
Horace Mann building by the
Chronicle disclosed that when stu¬
dents stroll into buildings it will
be found in the Agassiz, or Phy¬
sical Science building, there are six
classrooms and a stock room in the
basement; five classrooms and the
offices of Bailey W. Howard, head
of -the physical science department
and A. M. Wedemeyer, art depart¬
ment chief, on the first floor; and
five classrooms and :a large lecture
room on the second floor.
In the Jane Addams, or Life
Science building, there are located
four classrooms and a museum in
the basement; four classrooms, a
large lecture theater, fitted with a
