ROTC; Nancy Meeker, Key Club; Judy Weed, varsity football.

man class at last Friday’s Frosh
primary elections.

New Exam Policy
Requires Earlier
Deficiency Notices
Adoption of the new policy of
dividing the semester Into halves
rather than triads calls for the
issuing of deficiency slips at the
end of the fourth week, Dr.
Catherine Robbins, director of
student activities, warned.
She added: “The issuance of
these grade deficiencies this
early in the semester is of dis¬
tinct advantage to both the stu¬
dent and his parents since it
warns them earlier in the sem¬
ester.”
Miss Kathleen D. Loly, Foreign
Language Department chairman,
stated that the Language Depart¬
ment was opposed to the adop¬
tion of the mid-term policy. The
main objection was that four
weeks is too short a period to
judge progress in the study of
a language.
The new program was inaugu¬
rated this year by receiving a
two-thirds majority vote at a fac¬
ulty council meeting held last
spring.
A typical answer was supplied
by counselor Frederick F. Born-
camp when asked the advantage
of the program.
“As counselors, we are able to
catch the ‘unexpected’ before it
happens.”
Administration Reveals
Registration Results
An official count by the PCC registrar’s office at the close
of the third week of the new semester show's a total enroll¬
ment of 4362 students in the college, an increase of 200 to 300
over the registration expected this year. According to Regis¬
trar Roland W. Grinstead, 4254
the final election being held to¬
day. Freshmen only are allowed
to vote at the polls set up on/
the campus.
Out of six candidates running
for each of the three offices, Lor-
alynn Milne and Ronald Fox vie
today for the post of vice-presi¬
dent, Helen Garber and Ann Par¬
sons compete for the position of
class secretary, and David Sund-
strand and Johnny Johnson race
for the place of treasurer. Final
counting of the ballots to deter¬
mine the new class officers will
take place this afternoon after
Election Commissioner Eleanor
Johnson closes the polls.
FitzRandolph, a graduate of
Marshall Junior High, where he
served as student body president,
and was voted the most popular
boy in his class, will begin his
new duties immediately, taking
the Frosh gavel from John Wells,
last year’s class executive.
study lists have been made out
for the regular day school. Sup¬
plementing this figure are 90 Con¬
tinuation School students, 36 stu¬
dents enrolled for short units in
the business college, 17 practical
nursing students, and 79 student
nurses connected with the Hun¬
tington Memorial Hospital.
Since the opening of the sem¬
ester on September 10, there have
been 114 withdrawals from the
college for such reasons as mili¬
tary enlistment, transfer, person¬
al matters or transfer to the lo¬
cal exploratory work program,
leaving the present registration
figure.
A breakdown on the enroll¬
ment in each class is not yet
available, but it is expected that,
as in the past, the Junior class
will stand as the largest, due to
the registration of graduates of
the surrounding high schools.
’Trail of the Lonesome
Pine’ to Be Shown Here
"Trail of the Lonesome Pine,”
first departmental movie for the
semester, has been scheduled for
Monday, Oct. 15 at 4 and 7:30
p.m. in Sexson Auditorium, under
the auspices of the Physical Sci¬
ence, Social Science and Life Sci¬
ence Departments.
Tickets will go on sale today
at 35 cents. Special season tick¬
ets for one dollar which will en¬
title the owner to admission to all
four of this semester’s depart¬
mental films, are also available.
According to Elva Orlow, com¬
missioner of departmental activi¬
ties, the other three movies are
“Red Pony,” “Make Mine Music”
and a musical.
Proceeds will be used for schol¬
arship awards and other projects
undertaken by the departmental
councils.
The system of sponsoring de¬
partmental movies has been re¬
vised this year. In the past each
department or a few departments
pooled their interests and re¬
sources to sponsor a movie. How¬
ever, this semester all the money
taken in from all four movies
will be placed into a general fund
and then split up according to
the needs of each group.
“Trail of the Lonesome Pine”
is a technicolor movie filmed in
the Lake Arrowhead region. Ad¬
mission is 35 cents for both the
afternoon and evening showing.
Tickets are available in the Stu¬
dent Bank and in the Triton
Booth. They will also be sold at
the door.
PCC Prepares to Host
Government Talks

Tuesday’s Southern California Student Body Conference to
open on the local campus in Sexson Auditorium. Officials from
jaycees all over the southern section of the state will attend
the confab at its semi-annual

sent at the state-wide meeting to
be held later in the semester at
Fresno.”

Convening in Sexson Auditori¬
um first, the group will then go
to lunch at the Huntington Hotel
where the afternoon workshops
will be held.
Some of the topics to be dis¬
cussed Tuesday are finances, pub¬
lications, student organizations,
awards, general school activities,
assemblies, freshman orientation,
social activities and faculty rela¬
tionships. Students also plan to
take up athletics, public relations,
and associated Men Students and
Associated Women Students ac¬
tivities.
Limit Subjects to Nine
List of subjects will be restrict¬
ed to nine. These in turn will be
suggested for the last confab of
the semester.

pate in a drawing for one of
three season passes to the varsity
Rose Bowl games, and one of
five passes to that evening’s game
with Glendale College.
Everyone on campus, teachers
as well as students, will be re¬
quired to carry out the motif of
the festivities by wearing the
school colors. Those failing to do
so will be branded “traitor” by
members of the AMS and AWS
Board. Only escape from the
penalty will be the buying of a
five-cent Red-White Day ribbon.
Further enforcement of the
day’s Red-White law will include
the inspection, by members of
the varsity football squad, of
everyone entering the Red-White
assembly. Any “traitors” discov¬
ered will stand trial on the audi¬
torium stage.
Tickets for the Luncheon will
be available for 75 cents at the
Student Bank until this after¬
noon. All men buying tickets
are given ten extra votes in the
Football Queen contest.
All arrangements for the
Luncheon and the Queen Contest
have been made by members of
the AMS Board under the direc¬
tion of President John Thie, while
other Red-White Day activities
were jointly planned with AWS
President Carol Kipling and her
Board.
