PJC Students Invited
To Civic Affair
John Muir Junior College’s
first school dance, the Varsity
Stomp, is slated for Thursday,
September 26, Don Stewart,' Muir
student body president reports.
All PJC students are invited.
La Verne Boyer’s orchestra, in¬
cluding vocalists, will supply the
musical impetus. Civic Auditor¬
ium doors open at 9 p. m. and
close at midnight. The affair is
sport and for couples only.
Making their first dance an in¬
ter-school proposition will help
foster a friendly relationship be¬
tween the two schools, Stewart
believes. It is hoped that there
will be a large attendance repre¬
senting both schools. Bids, cost¬
ing $1.00 per couple may be pur¬
chased at the box office.
DEFENSE COUNSELS
NEEDED FOR COURT
Defense counsels for the
PJC court system are urgently
needed. Interested students
should sign up in 29C, the
Dean of Men’s office or the
Student Union.
To qualify for a Court posi¬
tion, the applicant must pass
a bar examination concerning
PJC law. Further information
may be obtained in the stu¬
dent body office.
Traffic Citations
Issued 35 Cars Parked
Near School
Pasadena police issued traffic
citations to more than 35 cars
parked near “D” and “T” build¬
ings Monday.
This information, which came
from Dean Stong’s office, is sig¬
nificant of a city-wide police drive
against illegal parking. Automo¬
biles parked too near school
buildings are fire-hazards, the po¬
lice maintain, and students who
park cars in time areas are urged
to make use of the school park¬
ing lot or one of the nearby
Colorado Street lots.

Language Council Elects
Heads; Speakers Greeted
Semester activities commenced Tuesday, September 17
for the two year old Language Council when the seventeen
participating members elected Renee Hanson, 14-2 French
major as their general chairman. Also chosen were committee
heads ’Lena Levine, Spanish ; Peter Pauling, German ; Mary
Hirsh, Latin ; and Marianne Otto, French.
Jane Arthur, re-elected secretary-treasurer, presided at
the gathering- which opened with a welcome from Kathleen
Loly, general adviser, and a bid
interested in the fine athletic
training program that the Y has
just recently set up. It now of¬
fers expert instruction and guid¬
ance in almost all physical skills,
such as: volleyball, basketball,
swimming, handball, badminton,
and other sports.
All servicemen who have been
discharged less than six months
ago are eligible to receive a mem¬
bership card free for a period of
three months. The rate for all
students above 17 years is 12
dollars annually; for boys be¬
tween 15 and 17, nine dollars; for
boys 8 to 14 years the fee ’s six
dollars. The above prices provide
for free guest privileges to any
activity. Coeducation activities in¬
clude badminton on Monday ev¬
enings and swimming on Friday
evenings from 7:30 to 9.30.
During the campaign, guest
cards may be had at the SCA
office any day this week.
Original ideas, suggestions and
scripts for Crafty Hall, PJC’s
largest production, should be sub¬
mitted not later than 12:00 Mon¬
day, October 7, Rowena Baker,
chairman of the judging commit¬
tee has announced.
The last show, written and dir¬
ected by Charlene Burner, turned
out as a smash hit. It was cli¬
maxed by the crowning of the
mardi-gras queen and kept in
pace with the postwar world with
television as its theme.
All entries in the forthcoming
musica-.l will be welcomed by the
judges and should be given to
Rowena Baker, Marion Moser, or

for success from alumna Mar¬
jorie Maninger.
The October 3 Spanish Tertul-
ia, social program for all inter¬
ested students, received most at¬
tention during the business meet¬
ing. Speakers are to be Gladys
Lee and Bessie Davis, faculty
members, just returned after two
months traveling in Mexico, who
will highlight their many exper¬
iences in visiting with the Mexi¬
can citizens. Spanish music and
refreshments will complete the
program.
What have arrived to be ac¬
cepted events on campus, the Ger¬
man Gesselschaft, French Soiree
and Latin festival also came un¬
der consideration, and although
it seemed almost ironic for a
h ot summer’s eve, the Christ-
imas Carnival plan too was pre-
se nted.
(.Chairman Renee Hanson is the
first Council member to bring
the true French flavor into the
grouip, for she was born in France
and speaks the language fluently
as lier parents have continued
its use in this country. Her hus¬
band, recently discharged from
the Army Air Corps with the
rank of lieutenant, practices sur¬
veying while his wife continues
her studies for her future as a
French teacher.
Associate advisers for the Coun¬
cil this year are Elmer Sauer,
Fannie Vigoureux, Engene
Deuders and Arthur S. Wiley.
the half-hour morning assem-
will be worked into a preview
peak of excitement by yell lead¬
ers and pom pom girls.
Cooperation of the city police
is due to Captain Walker who
will provide a motorcycle escort
for the noisy caravan. Student
arrangements are rightly credit¬
ed to spirited commissioner Phil
Miller.
Led by three eye-riveting red
cars, the parade contingent will
line vehicles up during the morn¬
ing in the area extending past
the Student Union through the
parking lot. Individual genius will
be responsible for car decora¬
tion, which should be red, white
and lively.
No 12:00 Friday classes will
be held, in order to enable every¬
one to participate in the caval¬
cade which will leave promptly
on the hour. Procession route
will lead down Colorado to Mar¬
engo, where cars will park in
front of the City Hall for the
Bulldog Band playing of the al¬
ma mater and more cheer lead¬
er aroused spirit. Return route
will be by Walnut Street, and
1:00 classes will resume on the
usual schedule.
Rooter Caps
Important is the pep commis¬
sion notice that no one without
a red and white pep hat will be
admitted to the game rooting
section. Arriving in lots of 350
every day, hats are now $1.00
for every student. The police de¬
partment has promised an order¬
ly cheering section, as fourteen
force members will be on duty.
In a plea for unanimous par¬
ticipation, commissioner Miller
stated that with the full backing
of the student body, PJC would
rise from third place junior col¬
lege rating to the top notch be¬
cause of the impact of successful
sports stunts.
New Duds
A preliminary step toward this
aim has been the purchase of
new and nattier attire for pep
commission members, pem pom
girls and yell leaders, who have
been sporting red short-sleeved
sweaters with the white pep em¬
blem emblazoned, and white
slacks or skirts.
