Poll
PJC STUDENTS TO VOTE
IN UCLA WAR POLL
Student opinion on the war situation is being obtained in a nation-wide poll
conducted by the Daily Bruin at UCLA. More than 500 colleges, including PJC,
are participating, with most of their students voting on the five questions listed
below.
BALLOTING
Chronicle readers should read these questions carefully and give much con¬
sideration to the answers, which will be put on special ballots to be distributed
and collected in 9 o’clock classrooms next Wednesday. Pasadena results will
then be sent immediately to UCLA, where tabulation of national results takes
place. When the national tabulations are received by the Chronicle, they will be
printed, along with PJC’s results.
The straw vote is being conducted chiefly to find out what bearing student
opinion has on national thought on these questions. The questions, well worded
and certainly conducive to thought, have been prepared on competent advice
from Bruin faculty members. Whether they will inspire thought on the part
of voters is open to question, as for ease in tabulation they are all short-answer
questions, requiring no more than a hasty yes or no on the part of the voters.
REIDY’S PLAN
Another plan for sampling student opinion has been proposed by David W.
Reidy, dean of extended day classes. Questions in this poll would be made up
by outstanding social science students; results would be published in the Chron¬
icle and in downtown Pasadena papers. Whether or not this poll will be con¬
ducted depends on the support given the UCLA poll by students here.
Questions in Mr. Reidy’s suggested poll will be comprehensive enough to
cause interested students to do some real reading and analyzing of foreign news.
PJC’s attitude on these questions may well answer the doubts of some taxpayers
who believe the vast amount of money spent on PJC is wasted.

Band
STUNTS BASED
ON SWING
“The Bulldog band will present big¬

night games,” according to Bob Jensen,
student manager of this famous school
organization. “This season’s stunts will
be based around popular music of the
year, and we have over 185 men to do .
the trick,” he said. ‘
New men will be given preliminary
drills each week to acquaint them with
the marching style of the band. As be¬
fore. the band boys will rehearse Fri¬
day afternoons to get their act in shape
before the games begin. Stunts are first
laid out on paper and then are plotted
out on the field. This way there are
no doubts as to how the maneuvers
will come out.

Muir grad wins honors
Reid Moran, alumnus of John Muir
technical high school, was in the upper
twentieth of his Stanford graduating
class last spring. This information was
received from the Stanford registrar a
few days ago by Miss E. B. Mundy,
head of the west campus science de¬
partment. She recommended Moran to
Stanford after he was graduated from
Muir Tech, where he received the life
science award.
Circus
Pigskin fete
to help JC
aid fund
Football enthusiasts will watch the
fastest playing of the season next Tues¬
day at 7:30 p. m. in the Rose bowl,
when ten different school teams will
play continuously, each for one quar¬
ter.
Besides this there will be exhibitions
by all the bands of these schools. All
this will be part of the program of the
fifth annual football circus sponsored
by the Junior Chambers of Commerce
of Pasadena, Burbank, Glendale and
Monrovia.
WHERE TO BUY
Students may purchase tickets at the
ticket window on the east campus or
from the Argonauts. These tickets are
10 cents for students and 25c for adults.
All money from tickets sold at the
school returns to the school in the form
of a student aid fund. Therefore, Harry
D. Prouse, who has given his time to
further the ticket sale for the Pasadena
JC PTA and Patrons’ association asks
that students get the tickets for them¬
selves and any adults who would like
to go, from this school.
VOLUNTEERS
No salaries are being paid to these
PTA members who are working for the
benefit of JC students. All proceeds will
go to help students who need money
for books, fees, clothing or other neces¬
sities of school life. “If students buy
tickets at the school,” Mr. Proust
stated, “they will be helping themselvet
and their fellow-students.”

O’Donnell, associated president. This
is one of the biggest events of the
school year and it is hoped that all
men able to will attend.
“Only 2000 tickets will be sold and as
there are over 4000 men students at¬
tending PJC it would be a good idea
to get your tickets early,” Audre L.
Stong, dean of men, stated. “The price
as usual will be 15 cents and includes
everything from transportation to a
chance in a lottery for a valuable
prize.”
CAA training
for 50 students
Forty men and ten women students
will receive flight training at PJC under
the program of the Civil Aeronautical

lotted to PJC in earlier verbal agree¬
ments.
NEED STUDENTS
Now the flight training committee
finds itself in the position where it
hasn’t enough applicants to fill the
class. “If any students have been
frightened away by the thought of the
$40 fee, they will be glad to know that
the fee may be taken care of on the in¬
stallment plan, $6 payable immediately
for the medical examination, the rest
to be paid for various items as they
come -up,” Dr. Turrell stated.
Emphasis is put on the fact that this
course is in no way connected with
the army.
APPLY SOON
Students still wanting to apply
should do so immediately, as the medi¬
cal examinations are taking place this
week-end and the theory classes start
Monday. Applications are available at
the office of Dr. Turrell on the west
campus and Dr. Irving Weitzel on the
east campus.
General requirements for the course
include American citizenship, age be¬
tween 18 and 25, senior standing with

amination.
