RED CROSS COUNCIL LAUNCHES DRIVE
DANGER
Rats at Work Again
RATS ARE STILL AT WORK ON OUR CAMPUS! The
same type of sneak-thief rats who have been breaking into
book lockers have fallen to a new low — stealing things which
can not possibly be of use to them. Someone has opened a
display case in the main hall of the administration building
and stolen an award of ROTC ribbons and insignia. THE
SNEAK-THIEF RAT HAS BECOME BOLDER, AND IN¬
VADED AN AREA HITHERTO CONSIDERED INVIOLATE!
The loss in itself may not be great, but its importance in
the* everyday life of the PCC community cannot be denied !
It means that, because a few students, perhaps only one or
two, lack eommon decency and simple honesty, NOTHING
CAN BE CONSIDERED SAFE FROM THEFT, NO STU¬
DENT CAN BE FULLY TRUSTED. #
With the rats which have appeared in our midst be¬
coming even less scrupulous and even more daring, EVERY
HONEST CITY COLLEGIAN MUST BE EVEN MORE ON
GUARD AGAINST THEM. Now, more than ever, is watch¬
fulness necessary to drive these rats back into their holes.
CONSTANT VIGILANCE WILL ELIMINATE THE OPPOR¬
TUNITY FOR FURTHER THEFTS, AND SUCH VERMIN
WILL QUICKLY GIVE UP WHEN THE ODDS TURN
AGAINST THEM.
As long as sneakiness and petty thievery exist on our
campus, no student will be able to feel safe at any time. And
sneakiness will continue to exist here UNTIL EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF US DECIDES TO PUT A STOP TO IT.
PCC has had a remarkably good record on such matters
in the p^st, and can have just as good a record in the future,
but not until the entire student body rises up to stamp out
the sneak-thief rat. THEN, AND ONLY THEN, CAN WE
EXPECT A RETURN TO NORMAL STANDARDS OF CAM¬
PUS HONESTY AND DECENCY!

Vol. 51, No. 2
Pasadena, California
February 6, 1952
According to Larry Harris,
president of the Associated Men
Students, and Joan Rydman, As¬
sociated Women Students exec¬
utive, “This dance is actually a
combination of money and efforts
that was previously to go into
three dances: the Homecoming,
and two others, but due to the
students’ desire for fewer and
better affairs, efforts have been
pooled into one big date.”
In accordance with Leap Year,
coeds will be given an oppor¬
tunity to “drag their favorite
male” to the dance. Bids will be
sold for $1.50 with ASB book
and $2 without. According to
Harris, “Every student is asked
to help support the dance be¬
cause of the large cost involved
in getting a big name band.”

sored on campus by POC’s chapter of the Bed Cross. Ann Whittier heads arrangements for the

permissible into donating his
blood.
Donors are asked to sign up in
the main hall by Friday. This
drive is especially concentrating
on obtaining plasma for the
fighting forces in the Far East.
To the boys on the front line,
blood is often the difference be¬
tween life and death, so while
they are doing their part over
there, citizens are asked to do
their share at home and see that
every capable person gives blood.
Must Be 18
Blood recruits must be at least
18 and should check the disease
list carefully as those persons
who have had certain ailments
are asked not to contribute plas¬
ma. All students under 21 should
obtain a minor release slip at
the desk in the main hall. These
slips must be signed by either a
parent or guardian before blood
will be accepted.
Other Projects
The energy and time that Red
Cross members are putting into
making this drive a big success
are only samples of the many
worthwhile projects they put
over each semester.
With Pat Hayes as president,
so far this semester our local
unit has sponsored the Christmas
“Korean Gift Lift” itself and
lent invaluable aid to many other
worthwhile projects. The Red
Cross also handles quite a bit of
correspondence from boys in the
service. All services of the Red
Cross are given freely and cheer¬
fully with the ultimate aim only
to serve.
