“THE MAN THAT DIED TWICE’’ . . . gets a final looking
over before radio students in charge of Friday’s suspense as¬
sembly go on the air. Left to right are (back row) Joe Meeker
and instructor Linden Leavitt and (front row) Bob Wolfsori,
Pat Worrell, Bill Linton and Jim Brown. Aside from presenting
Friday’s assembly program, these “radioactive’’ collegians and
their instructor are continually on the grind in the studios on
the lower level of the C building. PCC students have a variety
of shows wliich they present over the air each week ranging
from dramatic shows to news on “what’s cookin’ on campus.”
Recent Supreme Court Ruling Grants
Universal Suffrage7 to All Collegians
Voting privileges have been
granted to nearly 2000 City Col¬
legians who do not hold ASB
cards by a Supreme Court prec¬
edent-setting ruling handed down
late Thursday afternoon by Andy
Castellano, chief justice.
In a motion submitted by Dick
Norwood, attorney general, the
campus’ highest judicial body con¬
sidered Sections two and three
of Article XII of the PCC con¬
stitution.
Section two provides, “the sen¬
ior, junior, sophomore and fresh¬
man presidents shall be elected
by their respective classes.” The
court felt that this statement
does not specifically require that
voters be Student Body members.
Section three reports “the As¬
sociated Men Students’ president
and the Associated Women Stu¬
dents’ president shall be voted
on by their own organizations.”
Since every student enrolled on
campus is a member of either
AMS or AWS, the judges ruled
that the clause neither implied
nor stated that the voters must
have paid ASB membership fees.
A motion by Norwood to per¬
mit non-members to vote on a
constitutional amendment was
defeated. The portion of the con¬
stitution under question was Ar¬
ticle XIV, Section one, which
states, "This constitution may be
amended by two-thirds majority
of Associated Students voting.”
The justices adopted the strict
construction interpretation, con¬
sidering Associated Students as
those collegians who hold ASB
cards.
Additional Supreme Court
members this semester are Mir¬
iam Murstein, Harward Steams,
Sharon Matheny and Bill Jones.

'DP' Students from Europe
Embark for ‘ Golden West'
Two displaced persons will arrive on the Pasadena City
College campus in the near future according to Anne Fox,
commissioner of international relations. Both will attend
school here in the upper division. The DP’s are boys of 20
and 21 years of age respectively. The international relations
commissioner further revealed
that one is from Russia and the
other from Estonia.
Two student leaders on the lo¬
cal campus will probably play
host to the newcomers for the
first few days after their arrival
here. The Europeans arrived in
New York just recently and may
have left already for Pasadena.
A number of people have been
instrumental in the philanthropic
project. A few of these aside
from Miss Fox include Dr. Rob¬
ert Yeaton, Linn W. Hattersley,
and Ernest Becker.
Attendance Office
Reveals New Rule
Newest change in attendance
regulations states that all lower
division students must report to
the Attendance Office, 8C, after
absence from any class, in order
to be re-admitted.
Students are expected to bring
a note from parents or guardi¬
ans explaining the absence. Up¬
on receipt of the excuse the at¬
tendance office will issue one of
two slips. One slip will have the
word “explained” written across
it and be used for family illness
and doctor appointments. The
other slip is the regular pink slip
for illness. Should the student
fail to present an excuse, he will
be issued a white slip with the
word “cut” printed in red across
it. Cuts will be counted as an
“F” for the day’s work.
Upper division students will
not be affected by this ruling.

Jan Johnson’s name was sub¬

representative at large replacing
Jamie Peterman who has left

The problem of the re-alloca¬

adjoining the student body
lounge was considered. It was
decided that the court system
which has no office at the pres¬

French Actress to Give Next Lecture
Entitled 'les Transformations de Paris'
Madame Adrienne d’Ambricourt will speak on “les Transfor¬
mations de Paris” at the next lecture in a series of French forums
to be held on Tuesday, Feb. 13, at 8 p.m. in the Library Hall.
Madame d’Ambricourt of the French stage and the American
movies returned last November from a two year visit to Paris. She
took part in “White Cliffs of Dover,” "Saratoga Trunk,” and numer¬
ous other productions. Herself a Parislenne, she will tell of the
varied appeal of Paris for foreigners as well as Frenchmen.
These French forums are a part of the numerous activities main¬
tained by the local Language Department under the chairmanship
of Miss Kathleen Loly. Mr. Arthur S. Wiley, French instructor, is
in charge of the forums.
In the near future the Language Council composed of student
representatives from different languages taught at PCC hopes to
present a Spanish movie in Sexson Auditorium free of charge. The
film will have English sub-titles to help those who are unfamiliar
with the Spanish tongue.
