educational survey test will be
given to all P. J. C. students Octo¬

Used Books on
Sale at Store
— ♦ —
“If you have any second-hand
text-books to .sell, please bring
them to the bookstore as soon as
possible,” urges Mrs. Bishop of the
bookstore department. “Now is the
time that we are selling the books,
and if you will bring them in
promptly we can dispose of them
to students who need them. The
college bookstore is operated sole¬
ly for the convenience and service
of students, and we need your co¬
operation.”

to enable the students to purchase
school supplies which are uniform
at the most reasonable rates poss¬
ible, and to provide an opportunity
for actual selling experience to
students of the Department of
Commerce. Various supplies are
handled by the store, ranging from
text-books, both new and second¬
hand, for every course in the col¬
lege curriculum, to candy bars and
chewing-gum. Some new school
stationary is on display in the case,
which will be of interest to new
students, while bulldogs ornam¬
enting red and white sofa pillows
stand guard over the bookshelves.
The bookstore is located in the
basement of C building, in the hall
which is reached through the east
end of the cafeteria.

Charles Coburn Speaks
in Guild Assembly
■ — ♦ —
Charles Colburn, distinguished
New York actor, was presented to
the student body by the Players
Guild. Mr. Colburnis now playing
in the “Plutocrat” -at the Pasadena
Community Playhouse and will re¬
turn to New York when the run is
over in the local house.
Mi'. Colburn addressed his re¬
marks to those students who are
especially interested in drama.
Among other things he said: “The
theatre is a state of mind and not
this, which explains the so-called
artistic temperament.
Actors Well Liked
“Theatre atmosphere depends
upon the intelligence of the -audi¬
ence, and in this way there is a
leveling of intelligence. The actor
feels his audience and in so doing
teaches his audience how to
feel. This is helped by the play
itself. The play must be written
to be understood or it would not
function. The better type of play
will release the actor’s emotions i
and give him full swing in his lines.
“The sordid low mind wants and
demands cheap amusement and this
is fullfilled by some of the old
Melodrama. The ridiculous and
artificial types especially. Motion
pictures tell the story easily and it
doesn’t require a great knowledge
of life to understand this type of
drama. That explains the popular¬
ity.
“Everybody likes actors. Not the
individual, to be sure, but -the char¬
acter portrayed as every one is a
hero or heroine and always pull¬
ing for them. The stronger the
heavy (villian) role is played the
weaker the hero.”
In closing Mr. Colburn remark¬
ed, “Actors must go where their in¬
telligence is reflected. I intimate
drama must be played in a small
theatre. The biggest factor in
the popularity of a show depends
upon the mentality and desires of
the audience; but don’t forget
when you .really want something
you must pay for it.

Pattee Praises
Students Work
— A—
“Owing to the capability of each
student to accurately plan and
carry out his program, the newly
introduced system of counseling
and programing has worked out
successfully,” says Howard Pattee,
dean of personnel. ‘'Each individual
is to be highly commended on his
ability to draw up and arrange hi-s
program. The result is gratifying
to those of us who could not fore¬
see the outcome of such a scheme.
“Compared to the vast majority
there have been very little difficul¬
ties involved in the programing.
As this tends to make the student
more independent and enables him
to take the subjects most suited to
him and the instructors he desires,
it is a great success.
“We of the administration are
highly gratified and pleased at the
result of students’ programing. We
are sure it is a forerunner of the
great independence which P. J. C.
students are providing themselves
for the future.”
