Fastest on-campus sport, in¬

men, seeking entrance to inner
PJC clique, find fall elections,
win or lose, usually qualifica¬
tions enough. Junior high con¬
troller’s votes are fought over by
higher ups — the door swings
wide.
Announced by election com¬
missioner, Marilyn Phillips,
primaries are October 2, run¬
offs week later. Voters must
remember new procedure, bring
ticket books instead of identi¬
fication cards to polls. For can¬
didates, approval cards serve
as application, are obtained
from student body offices in

Confab
Student Officers, Administration
Meet For Semi-Annual Retreat
PJC student officers and key administration men gathered in deep confab last week, came
up with concrete ideas and suggestions for wartime student government. A semi- annual af¬
fair since the adoption of the new constitution three years ago, the Student Retreat has be¬
come a tradition, has more than once been credited with solving a perplexing problem of
student government.
RUBBER CONSERVATION
This year, as a war measure, student leaders scorned the
various beach and mountain locations of previous meetings,
instead chose the nearby lofty halls and small rooms of the
Pasadena Athletic Club. Student moguls interspersed ses¬
sions at 10:00 and 2:00 with
Prof I. Q.
Dean Of Men
To Give Answers
The Dean of Men’s office is
starting a new service to college
age boys, age 18, 19 years and
up. Because of the confusion
among the boys concerning the
material from the war depart¬
ment and rumor regarding the
college boys’ place in the service,
and because orders and enlist¬
ment plans of the Army and
Navy change so often, every day
at 3 o’clock in the office of Audre
L. Stong, Dean of Men, East Cam¬
pus, will be an open meeting for
all boys who care to attend for
latest information on entering
the service.
These conferences will assist
them in making the best choice
as to whether or not they
should remain in college, how
soon they may be called, wheth¬
er they should enlist in the
Army, Navy or Air Corps, etc.
Valuable information is re¬
ceived from some of the boys
who have gone to and returned
from recruiting offices and in¬
duction centers, from boys who
are home on leaves, and from
material sent out by the Army
and Navy.
This service will interest nearly
all parents and boys who are near
18 years of age or over and who
are liable to soon be drafted, as
well as those who have reached
their 20th birthday and are vitally
interested in completing their en¬
gineering courses or their work
towards entrance to officer’s
schools.
Also, to be discussed every day
will be the college boy’s place in
Civil Service and in defense jobs.
Attending each meeting will be
ROTC officers, armed with the
latest data, prepared to answer
most questions.
Swimming, badminton, tennis,
squash, checkers, sunbathing,
and uncheon; discussed “off the
record” the various problems
raised for the 1942-1943 school
year.
WHERE THERE’S SMOKE . . ,
One of the biggest situations
which the Board of Representa¬
tives faces is the growing
smoking on the campus. Al¬
though no one from Dr. Har-
beson down opposes smoking
as such, the point was brought
out that it is against a state
HEADMAN DALE HIESTAND
. . . ringmasters the show
law to smoke on school grounds
during school hours and the
far more serious point that
smoking revokes the insurance
on the buildings. Most of it
was attributed to the older de¬
fense workers who are taking
classes here.
HORRELL FIELD
The proposed football schedule
came under discussion also in
that some members felt that it
would be preferable to play the
games on Friday afternoon on
Horrell Field. Temporary blech-
ers could be erected on the East
side for the opposing team’s

Pal Day I — leld

By Pals, Frosh
Timely taboos, confusing cus¬
toms, and student leaders came
to light from under their summer
tans to dazzle newcomers last
Sunday when friends met friends
at annual Pal Day event. Held
this year on both .campuses,
“big-shots” strutted their stuff
before awe-filled infant eyes,
discussed with them in a father¬
ly manner “do’s and don’ts” of
PJC life.
East Campus was the first
when old-timers greeted immi¬
grants at 1:30. One hour later
the same scene was enacted on
the West Campus. Buses, filled
to overflowing, transferred stu¬
dents from the Colorado Cam¬
pus to the Business School for
the Vesper services.
Aliens migrated to the audi¬
torium in the mid-afternoon
where they learned from Rever¬
end Kenneth C. Holst, the citizen¬
ship requirements of a Christian,
were introduced to a democracy’s
way of life by undergraduate
leaders. Robert Graff, Associate
President of the Associated Stu¬
dents, presided at the services,
which opened with several or¬
gan numbers by Miss Lula Claire
Parmley.
Dr. John Harbeson, principal,
and Dale Hiestand, ESB presi¬
dent, welcomed the new stu¬
dents and were followed by
several vocal numbers. Rev¬
erend Holst, director of Chris¬
tian Education for the Christian
Churches of the South
Pacific Area, was introduced
by Dr. Harbeson and address¬
ed those present with a perti¬
nent Vesper Service sermon.
Following Reverend Holst’s
talk, Benediction was pronounc¬
ed by Reverend Wesley Nichol¬
son, Associate Minister of the
Neighborhood Church.

Novelties On West,
For OMD Assembly
Milkbottle Collection To Be Taken
To Mail Chron To Service Men
One of the many traditions at PJC is the first and last
assemblies of every school year produced by OMD, Order
of Mast and Dagger. Different today is the time element,
coming before the schedule of regular classes, thus having
the first class of the day start at 9:57. Entertainment for
the assembly is kept in strict secrecy until time for floodlights,
but oldtimers have no doubt as
retary of activities will take
charge of the program.
It is known however that the
world famous Bulldog Band will
have a part in the program, play¬
ing several marches and other
popular selections. As in the past
a member of OMD will undoubt¬
edly explain the purposes of
OMD and its function in the
school.
COLLECTION
A vital part of the assembly
will be the annual milkbottle
collection, at which time stu¬
dents will deposit small change
so that the Chronicle may be
sent to the ex-PJC men now in
the service. It is hoped that
enougli money will be raised so
that a Christmas present of a
dollar bill might accompany
each holiday edition of the
Chronicle to all ex-PJC men en¬
listed. Letters have come back
from men all over the world
to Dean of Men Stong, full of
thanks for this small item from
home, filled with the activities
of old friends. The paper is
sent, together with a letter, by
First Class mail so as to guar¬
antiee the forwarding to the
remote parts of the earth.
The regular Friday schedule as
printed on the cards in every
room will be observed.

Chron Policy
In Lean Year
Chronicle reins and $2,350 har¬
ness were tossed to slyfaced
wrangler, John Lewis Allen, last
Spring by a poverty stricken
Board of Representatives. Hence
was a climax. For two years Al¬
len had been striving for the
job, now was the youngest edi¬
tor (just turning 18) ever to rule
Chron destinies.
Editor Allen’s current decision-
to-make is a twisted one. Himself
a proponent of tabloid-feature
Chron, he faces necessity of pub¬
lishing full-size awkward sheet
identical to this issue. Reason:
War! In Spring finance meeting,
J.L.A. told Representatives he
wanted to produce four pages of
tabloid twice weekly — make with
the money. But increased empha¬
sis on military and defense ap¬
propriations, general decreased
registration income ham-strung
sympathetic legislation, cut the
Chron off at the masthead. With
emergency called finance meeting
still slashing Fall budget, decis¬
ion is becoming heartbreakingly
obvious.

Lunch
Juniors, Sparked
By Prexy Kilmer,
Planning Picnic
Starting the year off with a
celebration, the junior class is
sponsoring a junior “wampus,” a
combined class picnic and sports
affair next Friday. Tournament
Park will be the camping grounds
where a 15 cent lunch, from sand¬
wiches to ice cream bars, will be
served after organized games and
contests have worked up appe¬
tites. Six man football, basket¬
ball, badminton and other popu¬
lar sports will be indulged in by
the junior class, $15 worth of
stamps will be given away as
prizes to those lucky in the sev¬
eral drawings which will occur
during the course of the after,
noon.
Today junior votes will be cast
for a queen, taken from junior
girls, to reign over the “wampus”
September 25. Out of the five
girls with the highest number of
votes, one will be selected for the
honor as queen by the class com¬
mittee. Polls will be located on
both the East and West campus
and voters will be required to
show their student body cards.
Sparking the whole affair is
Junior Class Prexy Dave Kilmer
and his class council.
Players' Guild
To Hold Tryouts
Players’ Guild membership
tryouts will be held Wednesday,
September 23, from 4:00 to 5:30

presented about the first of No¬
vember.
The only requirements are that
the candidate must present a
memorized dramatic selection,
from three to five minutes long,
portraying two or more charac¬
ters, including an introduction.
