Members of the PCC Library Council have been engaged
in many varied activities as the semester draws to a close.
Election of new officers was accomplished at a recent meet¬
ing. Margaret Farrow was re-elected to the top spot on the
Council, as she once more was
chosen to wield the presidential
gavel. Tom Owens received the
nod for the number two place as
he became vice-prexy. The sec¬
retary-treasurer post will be filled
in the spring semester by Carol
Driscoll. L. Herman Smith acts
as adviser to the group.
Another recent council affair
was an excursion to the Hunting-
ton Library. Here they were
privileged to see some rare man¬
uscripts and books that are not
on view to the general public.
After viewing the displays in the
main library the council broke
up into several groups. One sec¬
tion went to the art gallery to
see the famous paintings hang¬
ing there, and the other section
went through the many beautiful
gardens.
The Library Council is compos¬
ed of all the students who sign
up for work in the Library.
Working in the Library and par¬
ticipating in the Council events
gives valuable experience to those
who seek a librarian’s job. Regu¬
lar meetings are held by the
Council at which they often hear
noted speakers. Once a semester
the book guarders go on an ex¬
cursion to a famous library or
museum.

Returning Students
Register Soon for
Second Semester
Once again the rigorous task of
registration confronts the stu¬
dents of Pasadena City College.
Thi* year, however, the action has
been spread over a period of
four days instead of the usual
one day. According to Roland
W. Grinstead, “By spreading reg¬
istration over a period of four
days we are trying to give maxi¬
mum convenience to the stu¬
dents.”
Registration for the second se¬
mester will get underway next
week in Harbeson Hall and the
west wing of the Library. Wed¬
nesday registration will continue
until 8 p.m.; however, on Thurs¬
day and Friday, 4 p.m. will be the
deadline.
The fact that there will be no
classes following Wednesday’s as¬
sembly presents a good oppor¬
tunity for everyone to register.
Students are asked to check the
special bulletin issued for cor¬
rect times that they may register.
Langsdorf Attends
New York Confab
Dr. William B. Langsdorf, PCC
principal, returned to the cam¬

with other members of the ad¬
visory board of the Cooperative
Project for Junior College Nurs¬
ing Education at the University’s
Teacher’s College.
Leaving Pasadena a week ago
last Monday, he traveled to New

the two-day conference inspect¬
ing eastern nursing schools, and
then entrained for the return to
Pasadena.

PCC Sets January 28 for
March of Dimes Drive
Pasadena City College students will have a chance to contribute
to the March of Dimes polio drive on Wednesday, Jan. 28, according to
Dr. Catherine J. Robbins, assistant principal. The collection will
be made during the 9 o’clock class period.
The dimes and dollars collected will be used to further research
being carried on by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
to combat the severe polio epidemic which plagues the nation each
year.
Contributions will be made by using coin cards provided for
the purpose. Each card contains spaces for five dimes, but students
are not expected to fill each space with a coin merely because of
the space provided. Those who wish to contribute more money than
the cards will contain will have an opportunity to do so.
The vital program of patient care, polio research, and education
carried on by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis de¬
pends entirely on the outcome of the March of Dimes each year.
It is the march of dimes from your pocket which you donate
to this necessary cause that will eventually rid the world of its
number one killer: polio. Scientists working on the stamping out
of this disease say the end is in sight . . . and by giving and giving
generously, we all can aid this great work.
