Vol. 40 Pasadena Junior College, September 18, 1946 No. Assembly , Picnic , Hi Jinks To Climax Frosh Activities School Rules Outlined For New Pupils Beware Violation of Three Top Taboos, Heads Warn Every community has its laws by which all its citizens must a- bide and since PJC is a small community in itself, we too have rules and regulations. To disobey these laws is to run afoul of the law, and such action may get one into very serious difficulties, so here a few suggestions which may help you students, new and old, to acquaint and re-acquaint yourselves with these statutes. These laws are found in their entirety in what we call our Campus Code, which may be found on page seven of your Student Handbook. By breaking through the veneer of legal terms we can put these wordy para¬ graphs into “American” language and better understand what they say. No Smoking First on the docket and of pri¬ mary importance is the no smok¬ ing regulation. Little more need be said than that there is no smoking allowed at any place on the campus. This is one regula¬ tion which will be enforced from the very beginning of school, so be on your toes not to get into any trouble on this count. Parking Parking presents another con¬ sideration of major importance. The only place that students are allowed to park is in the student parking lot south of the Student Union and west of the Technolo¬ gy Building. The front row of this lot is reserved for student offic¬ ers, but other than that, you may park anywhere between designa¬ ting lines which are marked in yellow. All other lots on cam¬ pus are reserved for faculty park¬ ing only. Students must maintain a rea¬ sonably orderly manner of con¬ duct while on campus or they'll run aground on counts of Disor¬ derly Or Otherwise Improper Conduct. Just remember to take it easy and don’t “cut up” and you won’t have any trouble. Courts for Protection The rest of these laws you can easily determine for yourselves. These three are ones of primary importance. If you get to know these regulations right away, you won’t have any trouble. The courts and laws are here for your mutual protection and have not been made arbitrarily, so find out what they are, keep within their bounds, and your life here at PJC will be a happier and much more memorable one. TODAY IS DEADLINE FOR FROSH ID CARDS Today is the deadline for the return of fully signed and dated freshman number 7 cards. Iden¬ tification cards are being issued upon their presentation at win¬ dows 4 and 5 of the Records of¬ fice. All other students will be expected to have their Identifi¬ cation cards by Friday, Septem¬ ber 20. Necessary for admittance to all classes, ID cards are issued to every student. It is not the pay¬ ment of the student body fee of several dollars which entitles the student to ownership of the card, but simply the complete registra¬ tion of his class enrollment on the number 7 card, Veterans and V-5 trainees should take their ID cards to Dean Anderson’s office, 114C, to obtain the stamp author¬ izing books and supplies. New certificates of eligibility and en¬ titlement should be brought with the ID card for stamping. Old trainees, whose cards have not already been stamped should al¬ so bring them for completion. STUDENT UNION UPS COSTS ON TEXTS, PAPERS A 10 ■ to 15 per cent price in¬ crease on paper and textbooks will go into effect at the Student Union this semester, Earl Holder, bookstore head, has declared. The store has an abundance of these supplies on hand at the present time, Holder said, al¬ though jewelry and other notions will not be handled so extensive¬ ly this year. A large stock of fountain pens has been laid away, but an acute shortage of slide rules is expected. In addition to regular stock¬ piles of school supplies, stickers and stationery, a recent shipment of statuettes will be placed, on display shortly. The figures, nicknamed “Varsity Vic,” are caricatures of campus lettermen. Holder said that the main task of bookstore employees would be keeping an accurate record of veterans’ charge accounts. How¬ ever, he feels that if at the begin¬ ning of the semester students re¬ frain from loitering unnecessari¬ ly about student union premises, his staff will be better equipped to start business smoothly. SCA Confab Group Spends 2 Days In Back Country The Student Christian Assoc¬ iation Executive Board took a head start on school activities this weekend by spending two days planning and playing at a mountain retreat. Leaving early Friday to return late Saturday evening, the twelve student and adult leaders were located at the Pasadena Girl Scout Camp near Chilao in the Los Angeles National Forest. In its out-of-doors and fire¬ light sessions, the group laid plans for Association programs and reviewed pointers in a min¬ iature leadership training course. Discussion centered in the open retreat of September -28 and 29 at Taquitz Meadows, the forma¬ tion of a cabinet of associate of¬ ficers, appointments and activi¬ ties possible for the various commission groups. After meeting hours, the twel¬ ve also hiked, sang and enter¬ tained each other. Attending were Walt Raitt and Beth Lamb, executive secretaries of the SCA, and Professor Ed¬ gar Van Osdal. FIRST HI-LITER MEET SET NEXT WEDNESDAY The first meeting this year of the Hi-liters organization will be held in room 29C at 3:00 next Wednesday. Future activities and plans will be dicussed by the board. Discus¬ sion on recruiting of new talent and hostesses for the coming sem¬ ester will be brought out with the advice that anyone wishing to sign up with Hi-liters should be in room 29C at 3:00. Student Leaders Will Give Word On Campus Life A special assembly, sports ev¬ ents, picnics and the bi-annual Hi-Jinks will highlight Friday for Fresh. The traditional evening program will thus climax a jun¬ ior size Community Hay, as P.IC introductions to the Freshmen will be scheduled from 9:00 a. m. through 11:00 p. m. Designed to give both old and new students an up-to-date view of PJC personalities and policies, the 8:40 assembly will present Neil Goedhard and Kowena Ba¬ ker, student body president and vice-president and the four class presidents. In addition to these student officers, Phil Miller’s Pep Commission will lead school songs with pom-pom girls and new cheer leaders. Dean Sjtong and his Bulldog Band, and foot¬ ball coach Tom Mallory will also be on hand. Classes will fill the gap be¬ tween 10:00 and 3:00, but will be followed immediately by the sep¬ arate men’s and women’s sports events. Reporting to the Women’s gym, sports minded girls will participate in games sponsored by the WAA. The Men’s Physi¬ cal Education Department will supervise the masculine contests at its home grounds. Lured by a free box lunch supper, Frosh will then report to AMS and AWS headquarters located at Horrell Field and the lawns behind the Student Union. There student leaders will meet with them for additional campus and extracurricular orientation, and further interest guides will be provided by the work displays of various organizations. Decorations tuned to the theme of “Breaking the Ice” will enliv¬ en the auditorium when the 8:00 Hi-Jinks entertainment commen¬ ces. Master of ceremonies and piano maestro Stan Gollery and associates, famous for boogie- woogie; tenor Richard Ramos; pianist Lionel Sorocco; Lois Bur- well and her piano-song routine; and Jerry Shupp with his line of comic patter. Splitting three ways, Frosh will then migrate according to in¬ dividual interests to either swim¬ ming, movies or dancing. Game mixers will precede dancing on stage, and the movies will in¬ clude three sound track winter sports shorts and three Gay Nine¬ ties shows. Always sponsored by the SCA, the Hi-Jinks not only affords op¬ portunity for meeting classmates, but also helps register freshmen for their Frosh Y clubs, which are jointly led by PJC students and YWCA and YMCA person¬ nel. These clubs serve as social, service and religious centers dur¬ ing the first year of the student on campus. Credit for the day’s planning belongs to Neil Goedhard, Dot- tie Merrill, Bill Schubert, Jim Nichols, Stan Gollery. Beverly Overholt, Virginia Dahm, Nancy Munn and Jim Rohrman. DEADLINE FOR CLUB SIGNUPS THIS AFTERNOON Registration will be compul¬ sory this semester to be eligible for the rushing season of the women’s restrictive clubs, and must be completed by 5:00 this afternoon, September 18 in the Dean of Women’s office. Registrants must be in the 12-1 or a higher grade to be a possi¬ ble club member. This new sys¬ tem makes it necessary for all interested girls to sign up be¬ fore they may participate, but will not insure all registrants being rushed. Consisting of two events both formal and informal, for every club, the rushing season will ex¬ tend over a two week’s period be¬ ginning Sunday, September 22, with introductory teas. More detailed information a- bout rushing procedure, the clo¬ thes to wear, the etiquette in¬ volved, the costs of clubs and the program of restrictives, may be obtained through the Dean of Women’s office and Bettie Ball, President of the Women’s Res¬ trictive Inter-Club Council. Say Goodbye Many Teachers Leave for New Fields Most noticeable of the changes among faculty faces this year will be the subtraction cf those leaving who through the years have become friends to hundreds of students. The English department is suf¬ fering the greatest loss as it will miss four teachers of many years service. Familiar to students as the one who helped present the humanities textbook, Miss Har¬ riet McClay is to edit for Henry Holt and Company, who are the publishers of the two collections, Story Essays and Story Biogra¬ phies, which she and a Chaffey faculty member edited. Miss Bet¬ ty Flint, faculty advistr for Delta Psi Omega and a coach for many PJC productions, is now on an extended tour of New England where she is visiting the famous New England playhouses. Leav¬ ing also are Nelle Remsburg, who will return to her home in Santa Ana, and Mrs. Gertrude Howard. Miss Isabella Cass, who served PJC not only as a member of the French staff of the language department but as an adviser for the social affairs committee; Lt. Col. С. К Ide of the ROTC; Myrtle I. Cole and Ruby Pur- viance of the art department; social science’s Bessie Bennett; and Daisy Grubel from the study hall are also departing. Facility Additions Out of twenty-nine new addi¬ tions to the PJC faculty, twenty- four answer to “Mr.,” and the re¬ liable source of Pauline Novak, secretary of Dr. Harbeson, allow¬ ed herself to be quoted with an (Continued on Page Three) City Manager Gives Aid To Pep Rally j Police Escort to Lead Procession Through Pasadena Pasadena will cooperate in ev¬ ery way possible in the downtown pep rally set for 12 o’clock Sep¬ tember 27, City Manager Harold Hines has announced. Plans for a police escort to lead the giant PJC procession up Colorado Street are now being outlined, and the pep commission hopes that this new venture in displaying school spirit will es¬ tablish a precendent in emphasiz¬ ing the importance of junior col¬ lege activities. The rally will orig¬ inate from the regular pep as¬ sembly, and from there a pha¬ lanx of automobiles sporting red and white streamers will lead the student body through downtown Pasadena. If the first rally is a success, similar affairs may be conducted on the afternoons preceding each of the Bulldogs’ games in the Rose Bowl. Plans Told In summing up grid season plans, pep commissioner Phil Miller reports several additions to the usual policy, including a cannon to be fired every time the Bulldogs score a touchdown, a microphone to be used by cheer leaders, and a gag man to be on the field during half-time. New pom-poms have been ordered for song leaders and the rest of the student body as well. Rooters’ beanies will be supplied to mem¬ bers of the cheering sections, and it is hoped that one or two tun¬ nels may be blocked off for exclu¬ sive use of the cheering section. “P” on the Mountain When Cal Tech stalwarts em¬ blazoned the letter “T” high on a lofty peak of the Sierra Madre range, it created somewhat of a furor among athletic circles here. Loath to be outdone, a number of PJC students hit upon the idea of supplementing the Cal Tech letter with a hugh “P” hewn out of another, and perhaps loftier, hillside. The labor prob¬ lem in the project will be met, it was learned recently, by re¬ cruiting restrictive club pledges and arming them with axes, shov¬ els and mountain climbing boots. In addition to this, the bulldog will appear, complete with sweat¬ er, at assemblies and games. Bumper signs to publicize forth¬ coming games will be distributed among car owners who wish them. Bullpups “Whenever possible,” Miller de¬ clared, “the Bullpups will be giv¬ en just as much publicity as the varsity.” He pointed out that this will not always be practicable due to an overlapping of sched¬ ules. Confident over the prospects of the season’s activities, the pep commission is desirous of more avid support of the student body. Cheer and song leaders, now known as the “Peppers,” are hopeful of a spirited response from the cheering sections, and would like to see the teams giv¬ en more recognition as they leave the field. ANNOUNCEMENT The head custodian has an¬ nounced that under no circum¬ stances may any custodian un¬ lock doors to classrooms for faculty or students once these doors have been closed for the day.
