PCC Chronicle, March 25, 1953

Beagles Tell Crime Doesn’t Pay Bunny Finds School Bare With the terrors of midterm week out of the way, PCCites will flock to the mountains, the beach and the desert to relax and re¬ cover their school spirits. For the week before Easter Sunday, collegians will be given a much- needed school holiday. Officially on the school calen¬ dar the holiday begins April 27, but for most students it will start at the end of the last class this Friday and will last till the first ring of the school bell on Mon¬ day, April 6. This is the annual spring break which is planned each year to come immediately before Easter. Teachers feel that they benefit as much as any of the students from this carefree sevent-day session. Because of the Easter recess, there will be no Chronicle on April 8. Rock Trip Starts Soon March 28 has been set as the starting date of the nineteenth consecutive Easter vacation ge¬ ology trip under the sponsorship of the Physical Science Depart¬ ment. The 1300- mile trip, which has become a tradition at PCC, will extend through many of the more interesting sections of West¬ ern Arizona, and will be made under the direction of Edwin Van Amringe. Traveling in a caravan of pri¬ vate automobiles, the excursion¬ ists will live “pioneer style,” camping out of doors all of the time. The group will congregate at Garnet Hill near Palm Springs, a world famous" locality for the work of the wind on rocks. They will then proceed along the east shore of the Salton Sea, stopping at several points of geologic in¬ terest, such as the glauberite de¬ posits at Bertram, travertine spring at Frink, Mullet Island with its volcanoes, the carbon dioxide well and Obsidian Butte. Sunday morning will be occu¬ pied by fossil collecting at Pilot Knob and a detour to old Pi- cacho, another ghost town on the Colorado River. Early Monday, the Phelps Dodge Corp. will guide the stu- • Continued on Page Four PCC Chronicle Vol. 53, No. 8 Pasadena, California March 25, 1953 THANKS, MR. RABBIT . . . for the vacation!

Students desiring to enter the event should make an immedi¬ ate selection of a passage from ‘Give Everyone a Vote’ Decree Passes Cabinet In Jfflemortam Students of the College will miss the friendly smile and the cheerful greeting of Oliver Outland. who passed away last week as the result of a short illness. Oily was know to hundreds of students as the friendliest and the hardest working of PCCites. He was noted for his enthusiastic display of school spirit and his support of every type of athletic event. 1 Interested in diversified kinds of activity, Oily was a member of the local Bar Association, ac¬ tively participated in the affairs of the Student Christian Associ¬ ation, served .as a disc jockey in the radio department and en¬ gaged in numerous other phases of campus life. Oily’s cheerfulness, his courage in the face of adversity, and his sympathy for fellow students, en¬ deared him to those students and faculty members who had the privilege of knowing and work¬ ing with him. Each was proud to call him a friend. Since Oily was crippled him- Oliver Outland self, his parents have requested that any students who would like to remember him may contribute to the Crippled Childrens’ Fund. Ernest Becker, of the SCA, is handling these gifts. By a vote of more than two to one, PCC’s representative cabinet voted to recommend to the Board that all students be given the right to vote. The vote tallied 18 to 7 with one member abstaining from voting. After some discussion by the secretaries and commission- Shakespearean literature. Any member of the English faculty will aid in the selection as well as the preparation of a contest entry. The elimination is open to all students of the English, drama and speech departments, as well as anyone else interested • in the work of Shakespeare. The final contest will be held in the form of a dessert supper at Harbeson Hall on April 23, the 389th anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare. Six con¬ testants will be chosen at the pre¬ liminary elimination to appear at the final event. Separate awards will be made in each division. The entries will be judged on presen¬ tation as well as selection, and contestants are urged to choose passages incorporating only two or three characters. during the past 29 years, the Shakespeare Contest has become a tradition at PCC. Both divi¬ sions of the contest were estab¬ lished by parents in remembrance of former English students. The upper division contest is in mem¬ ory of Fredrick Arthur Smith, and the lower division section of the event has been dedicated to Ruth Doolittle. Both were strong¬ ly interested in the work of Wil¬ liam Shakespeare. ers, the question was called for and the majority vote registered. The main contention .of those against the measure was that the Student Board official regulated the money from ASB book sales, and thus it wasn’t fair for non- ASB members to have a say (by voting) in how other people’s money was spent. Also, they felt that extending this privilege would lower ASB sales. The op¬ position countered with the claim that giving all the students bal¬ loting rights would raise the in¬ terest in student government, and thus book purchases, and that the money would still be regulated by ASB members as only candidates who belong to the student body are permitted to run. Next the recommendation will come up before the student Board of Representatives which will consider it and vote upon it. If the Board passes the measure by a two-thirds majority, the stu¬ dents will vote upon making it a constitutional amendment.

It would take only four mem¬ bers of the ASB Board voting “nay” to defeat the measure. Then it would have to be brought up before the voters by initiative.
