adventures of a carpet and rug
salesman who is traveling
through Great Britain peddling
his wares. He falls in love with
a proprietress of a local inn. He
finds to his dismay, that she is in
love with a man with a coat of
“shiny buttons.”
After several hot toddies the
“Bag Man” retires only to wake
up later in the evening to become
the conversation mate with a
chair in his room. The chair in¬
forms him that the man with the
shiny buttons has a wife and four
children. He even reveals the po¬
sition of a letter in one of the
closets which discloses the true
nature of the affair. The drama
closes with the “Bag Man” happi¬
ly exposing the blackguard and
claiming the woman as his own.
Forum Features
City College Today
An open forum with the pur¬
pose of acquainting students with
various phases of student gov¬
ernment and extra-curricular ac¬
tivities at City College will be
held today at 3:30 p.m. in the
Little Theater.
Students representing various
activities of the school including
clubs, athletics, religious groups,
departmental organizations, and
the ASB Board and Cabinet will
be present to answer questions
at the informal forum.
Pam Dailey, chairman of the
affair and former rep at large,
stated, “This is just another ef¬
fort in trying to inform students
on this campus about what they
would like to know concerning
any activities.”
Miss Dailey also stated that
students interested in working on
committees under Board mem¬
bers, commissioners or secretar¬
ies may sign up in the dean of
men’s or dean of women’s office.
Woolley 'Lowers the Boom' On All
Cabinet Members in Government
First Cabinet meeting of the spring semester was held Febru¬
ary 15 in the student body office.
June Woolley .vice-president of the Associated Student Body,
announced that Cabinet keys will not be issued at the end of the
semester to members who have missed three meetings without a
legitimate excuse.
She also announced that commissioners should prepare “Job
Analysis” sheets for their respective offices if this has not already
been done.
Attorney General Ruth Squire suggested that the former tradi¬
tion of sending outstanding student leaders to the Pasadena junior
high schools be initiated again. Purpose of the plan is to give junior
high students an incentive for coming to PCC.
The attorney general also presented the idea of choosing one
member of the ASB Cabinet to sit in on finance meetings of the
Board. The Cabinet rep would not have a vote but merely listen in.
“This would give the members of the finance committee a chance
to hear a commissioner’s viewpoint on financial problems, as the
commissioners are actually the ones who handle funds to execute
their duties,” stated Miss Squire.
Faculty, Student Representatives Meet,
Discuss Effective Student Government
Representatives from student government and the ad¬
ministration and faculty met at a recent meeting to discuss
ways in which student government at City College might be
strengthened. Dr. John W. Harbeson, PCC principal, gave
an informal talk on weaknesses
in student government as he has
seen them in the past 30 years
he has spent on the local cam¬
pus.
“It is very vital that we have
more than 77 per cent of the
students at PCC belong to the
Associated Student Body,” stated
Dr. Harbeson. “Another way in
which matters might be improved
is by executing student laws,”
continued the principal.
Fred Jahnke, ASB prexy said,
“We ought to embark on some
plan whereby we can interest the
faculty members more in student
government and activities.”
Dr. Edward Rowins voiced his
opinion concerning extra-curricu¬
lar activities by saying that these
activities should not be treated as
a “side-show in a circus” but as
a vital part of mental develop¬
ment on the part of the students.
Students and faculty members
at the meeting represented the
ASB Board, Campus, Chronicle,
public relations, elections, civil
service, Pup activities and law
enforcement.
