Asserts Re-opening
Brings Pre-war
Prospects
Cordial greetings and a hearty
welcome both to new students
and old timers.
The new year is opening with
brighter prospects than any we
have experienced since pre-war
days. Our enrollment' is the larg¬
est in the history of the college.
Students are here not only from
our own district but from South
Pasadena, Alhambra, Monrovia,
Dr. John W. Harbeson,
Principal of PCC
El Monte, Whittier, and other
high school districts. We have
a wonderful group of new and
old students who should make
the year 1947-48 a banner year.
Football Squad
It gave me a great thrill to see
our fine football squad, more
than 100 strong, in action. The
old Pasadena spirit is running
high.
Let us this year pull together
in the realization of two great
objectives: first, let us maintain
the high standards of scholarship
which have won for us the en¬
viable reputation we now enjoy
among colleges and universities;
and secondly, let us all get be¬
hind our teams and make the
year 1947-48 the best yet.
May it be a pleasant and profi¬
table year for you all.

Life Science Section
Increases Curriculum
Because of the increasing de¬
mand for more college zoology,
physiology and botany, new sec¬
tions have been set up and lec¬
tures will be given in larger
groups, Miss Emma Bee Mundy,
life science head, reported.
For the first time since the
war, a new class in bacteriology
for terminal students is to com¬
mence this semester and a re¬
cently added laboratory has been
completed and equipped for the
expanding course is cosmetology.
As usual lower division physiol¬
ogy has a larger enrollment.
“This departure from the form¬
al procedure, we feel, will better
accommodate the number of .stu¬
dents and the types of profes¬
sions for which they are train¬
ing,” Miss Mundy said.

Pal Tours Follow
Student Meetings
Incoming students were given
their first taste of PCC life yes¬
terday. Following the first stu¬
dent meeting of the year in the
Sexson Auditorium at 8:00 a. m.,
the newcomers were oriented to
the campus layout and system
by the annual Pal Tour of the
plant.
New members were divided in¬
to small groups, each having
some returning students as a
guide and pal. While showing
the students the buildings and
centers of campus activity, these
older students tried to indoctrin¬
ate their charges with the school
traditions and customs.
Registration
Following the campus excur¬
sion, new students were directed
to their registration rooms by
their Pals. Teachers and older
students then assisted the entrees
in registering in their classes.
These Pal Tours were the first
of the New Student Week activi¬
ties which have been planned and
arranged by Jamk Lamp, ASB
president; Marilyn Burns and
Martin Stornie, AWS and AMS
presidents; and Victory Torrillo,
commissioner of social affairs.

Vets Face Supply
Expense Problems
Pasadena City College veteran
students came face to face with
an unpleasant surprise with the
opening of school this week, when
it was learned that the Veteran’s
Administration would no longer
stand the expense of school sup¬
plies.
According to reports from the
Office of Veteran’s Affairs, Cali¬
fornia is one of the few states
affected by this move. In a con¬
ference with E. R. Eberle, vet¬
eran’s counselor at PCC, it was
revealed that the California
School Code states that “secon¬
dary schools will provide text¬
books for students” and since the
13th and 14th year institutions
are classed as secondary schools
(he VA at first refused to pro¬
vide textbooks for veterans, and
the school treasury was forced to
absorb the expenses.
A recent decision rendered by
the VA now states that the Vet¬
erans Administration will pay for
textbooks but that supplies will
not be provided. This leaves the
veteran faced with the problem
of buying the necessary note¬
books, paper, special supplies and
student body book on a budget
that averages from 65 to 90 dol¬
lars a month.
Cal. Vet. Program Not Affected
Since only state supported
schools are affected it has been
suggested that the California
school code be amended or ad¬
justments be made by the Vet¬
erans Administration. Under the
present plan the only veteran
students not affected are those
enrolled on the California Veter¬
ans training program.

Schubert Tells
PCC Athletic
Publicity Plans
With a goal of creating great¬
er interest in athletic events in
Pasadena City College and great¬
er Pasadena area, PCC’s new de¬
partment of Athletic Publicity
under the direction of Bill Schu¬
bert swung into high gear with
the launching of football practice
last week.

future is a football booklet with
pictures, positions, weights and
past performances of all men on
the squad. Following the booklet
will be a brochure with action
shots, dates of the games and

many other novel ideas to pub¬
licize the games for this season.
Blotters, address books, key-tain-
ers and matchbooks, all bearing
the game schedule are ready for
distribution. Other plans include
a play by play morning after
broadcast of each game over the
local radio stations and an on
the spot broadcast of the sched¬
uled PCC-Muir game.
Triangular Organization

a triangular organization. Work¬

Blake, Huddle editor, and Hank
Ives, Chronicle feature-sports
writer. Under this set-up a com¬
plete coverage will be provided
for sports, with a maximum of
news and a minimum of repeti¬
tion.
Of major importance was Schu¬
bert’s announcement that a tie-
up with the Associated Press,
United Press and International
News Service had been complet¬
ed. Pasadena City College games
will receive greatly increased cov¬
erage both in California and in
some cases throughout the Unit¬
ed States through the press as¬
sociation.

struction in news photography.

PCC Adds Four
New Buildings
Four new buildings have been
added to the Pasadena City Col¬
lege campus to house the school
of business, continuation school,
campus dining room and extra
classrooms, Dr. William Langs-

room for three hundred students.
Located south of the Student
Union, the (B) School of Busi¬
ness, will offer all commercial
courses, except typing, while just
east of the women’s gym, the
(V) classrooms building has the
study hall and social science
