PCC Band
to Entertain
Shriners
Pasadena City College’s March¬
ing Band will appear in the an¬
nual winter variety show spon¬
sored by the A1 Malakai Shriners
Temple of Los Angeles in the
Pasadena Civic Auditorium on
March 5, according to Robert
Fleury, director of the organiza¬
tion.
The Bulldog Band, 'which holds
the title of official Tournament
of Roses musical organization,
will be the only non-professional
group appearing on the program,
which is open to Shriners and
their invited guests, according to
С.
P. MacGregor, of Los Angeles,
program chairman of the event.
A packed house is expected, as
the show is one of the top events
on the fraternal calendar in this
community. Although it will not
be open to the general public,
anyone can attend in company
with a member of the nation¬
wide Shrine organization.
According to Director Fleury,
the 100-piece organization will
play a varied program of color¬
ful music- adapted to the occa¬
sion. Marches, novelty tunes, and
other spirited rhythmic composi¬
tions will lend themselves to the
evening. The band, decked out
in their new crimson and gold
uniforms, will open the program
at 7:15, and play about a half an
hour of music. As Pasadena’s
only contribution to the show, the
band will be the only such group
appearing on the program, ac¬
cording to MacGregor. The re¬
mainder of the entertainment will
consist of high-quality profession¬
als, a duplicate of a production
to be offered at Los Angeles’
Shrine Auditorium the following
evening.
Members of the band will en¬
joy the show from a block of
reserved seats, according to Mac¬
Gregor.
Youth Named Head
of T Round Table
A1 Ciabattoni has been named
chairman of the first round table
under the sponsorship of the
Pasadena City College Campus
“Y,” religious activity organiza¬
tion. The discussion will be held
from 2:30 through the 3 o’clock
hour today in the “Y” lounge lo¬
cated in the V building.
Topic for the first round table
has been designated as the ques¬
tion “Should 18-year-olds vote?”
All students interested in the
discussion are urged to attend.
information received from Miss
Emma Bee Mundy, chairman of
the Life Science Department.
Directing the local program,
which operates in conjunction
with the School of Nursing at
the Huntington Memorial Hospit¬
al, is Miss Lillian Vosloh, RN, a
member of the PCC faculty and
one of the nurses affiliated na¬
tionally with the plan.
Dr. William B. Langsdorf, Pas¬
adena City College principal, is on
the advisory committee of the
program, and has been active in
working with other educators in
the perfection of the pilot nurs¬
ing plan, which is sponsored by
Rockefeller interests. Dr. Langs¬
dorf and Miss Vosloh have both
attended conferences in New York
which formed the basis for the
new course.
According to Miss Vosloh, the
research project is an “attempt
to
со
general and nursing
education in such a way that
both are made more meaningful
to the nurse. It is also an at¬
tempt to shorten the time requir¬
ed to get the RN and AA de¬
grees.”
Prompted by the acute nation¬
al shortage in the nursing field,
the project enables a student to
complete the two years of liber¬
al arts required for the AA de¬
gree during the time she is en¬
rolled in the School of Nursing.
Although Pasadena City Col¬
lege was not one of thd 30 west
coast institutions to apply for the
research program, this campus
was chosen above all others. The
Life Science Department has been
strongly interested in the nurs¬
ing .program since the late 1920’s,
according to Miss Mundy.
Since September there have
23 students enrolled in the new
program, with six of the ten
School of Nursing faculty mem¬
bers working on the project part
time.
The requirements for the
course are a C average in high
school, excellent physical condi¬
tion, and a year of high school
chemistry.
Applications are now being re¬
ceived for enrollment in the fall
semester program.
It is the hope of the national or¬
ganization that the plan will
spread to other colleges through¬
out the United States, doing much
to relieve the critical shortage of
nurses.

Pasadena Teachers will
See Industry , Business
Something new in the way of community-school relationships in
Pasadena will be tried on Tuesday, Feb. 16. Members of the Chamber
of Commerce, the American Enterprise Committee, the Industry
Committee, and the Education Committee, working with the repre¬
sentatives of the school administrative staff and John Muir and Pasa¬
dena City Colleges have planned a Business-Industry-Education Day.
School next Tuesday will close at noon and the day’s program
will begin with a luncheon at the Green Hotel followed by visits to
business and industry during the afternoon. Approximately 85 em¬
ployers will act as hosts to the teachers of John Muir College and
Pasadena City College.
The purposes of the activities planned for this day are stated
by the American Enterprise Committee to be: (1) It will give busi¬
ness and industry an opportunity to present its problems and needs to
the teachers of the two colleges; (2) It will give teachers first-hand
experience in the productive, distributive and service agencies of
Pasadena; (3) It will help teachers and business to understand one
another’s contributions to Pasadena’s progress; (4) It will equip
teachers to give students counsel and guidance, based on actual
needs and opportunities in Pasadena; (5) It will enhance apprecia¬
tion of our American economic system and our American system of
education.
Businessmen have agreed to make this educative process a two-
way affair by visiting the schools on the next business-industry-
education day.
