Hal Jacobs rang up an average in the Cubs’ first game Mysterious Donor Offers Telescope To Star-gazers Installation of a new, ten-inch telescope in the campus astro¬ nomical observatory was com¬ pleted recently, according to Peter W. Stoner, Mathematics Department chairman. Estimated at being worth over $2500, the instrument is equip¬ ped with a set of precision-tested mirrors, ground without flaws by a worker in the California In¬ stitute of Technology optical shop. An anonymous donor, identified only as “a friend of the Board of Education” present¬ ed the mirrors, cell and eyepiece to Pasadena City College through Mr. Stoner. Mirror Is Flawless Found to be technically perfect by astronomy instructor William Olsen, the short- focal length op¬ tical equipment was mounted by George Carroll, who enclosed it in a modern, snub-nosed type of casing, thus affording increased mobility. Mounting is a German, equatorial type. The telescope is equipped with a Cassegranian, or slow reflect¬ ing, mirror and an electrically driven clock suitable for follow¬ ing the continual progress of heavenly bodies across the sky. It includes manual declination mechanism, electric right ascen¬ sion equipment and a system of clamps and a counterweight to maintain balance on the instru¬ ment. This Makes Three The PCC observatory, dedicat¬ ed in 1934 by atomic physicist Dr. Albert Einstein, has two addi- ASB salesmen will be seen about campus with tags hung on their necks in red and white. The salesmen will have receipt books and be prepared to sell cards at any time. Vendors Reimbursed Any collegian may sell ASB books and those interested should notify their class president to obtain instructions. Students sell¬ ing 10 books who do not own one themselves will receive a free card. Those selling 10 who have already purchased one will have their 10 dollars reimbursed. Classes Cooperate This project is headed by the presidents of the four classes: Shirley Barnes, Senior president; Ron Yielding, Junior president; John Wilson, Sophomore presi¬ dent; and Eleanor Johnson, Frosh president. All four have boxes in 17C and may be con¬ tacted there by prospective sales¬ men. Collegians without ASB cards are reminded of the varsity game in the Rose Bowl with Los An¬ geles City College this Friday night which is free of charge with an ASB card. Fox theaters in this area are now admitting ASB book holders at a junior rate. Cards will be required from now on for admittance to as¬ semblies. tional telescopes, 20 and nine inches, respectively, for use dur¬ ing the five nightly laboratory sessions each week. Clyde B. Eaton, Jr., joined the astronomy staff this semester, and shares laboratory instruction duties with Mr. Olsen.

Coach Red Hand can also count on some excellent talent in the personage of Tom Novikoff. Tom is a letterman and a JC all- Am¬ erican. He also has a five yard average. Murrell Gains, rugged 6 foot 3 incher, will be there to stand in the way of some the Bulldog off -tackle and end sweeps. Gains is an end. Several changes have been made in the LACC defense in order to counteract a glaring weakness at guard. Tackles Don Butcher (and he is) and Frank' Barbarick (and he is, too) have been primed to take over the guard spots. Letterman center Ralph Ahn will anchor the team at the pivot post. In the backfleld, there is one Gary Smallwood, who scored 60 points last year and was Coach Hand’s no. 1 line backer. He is a letterman, and plays fullback. Besides Novikoff, another fiver clouds the future for Pasadena. He is James Duran who account¬ ed for 83 yards rushing, and add¬ ed 137 yards in the air on eight pass completions. i Here in the Bulldog house, ф Continued on Page Four “CEILING UNLIMITED” . . . says astronomy instructor Clyde B.

Fleet-footed Coeds Wanted Coeds interested in obtaining service points for office work dur¬ ing free hours should contact Dr. Catherine J. Robbins, local direc¬ tor of student activities. A number of offices on the cam¬ pus are seeking girls to take call slips to classrooms, carry mes¬ sages and do other types of sec¬ retarial work. Service points will be given to those interested in contributing time. These service points are often used when entering a uni¬ versity or applying for a job. Parent-Teacher Group Seeks to Swell Roster All parents of City Collegians interested in the Parent-Teach¬ er Association should send in membership dues of 50 cents each to the Pasadena City Col¬ lege bank. Mrs. Mary B. King, P-TA presi¬ dent, stated that “We of the Par¬ ent-Teacher Board are planning the year’s activities with the ob¬ jective of bringing to you the greatest amount of information about City College in a concen¬ trated period.” P-TA plans to distribute pro¬ grams to its members tellipg about campus events and activi¬ ties. The group usually holds about one meeting a month at¬ tended by well known speakers. Mrs. King is assisted in the groups activities by Mrs. Arlene C. Bennet, membership chairman.

Mr. Vaz¬ quez is a pianist, while Mr. Ru¬ bini plays the violin.

Counselors Open Doors Miss Florence Brubaker, local director of student personnel, an¬ nounced this week that counsel¬ ors are how free from reschedul¬ ing and programming commit¬ ments, and may be consulted without appointment by City Col¬ legians at their convenience. Questions as to university re¬ quirements, vocational aptitude or academic difficulty may be brought to counselors, who will then make necessary adjustments or inquiry. Special Club Day Bulletin Lists Plans Deadline for special club day bulletin notices will be Friday, Oct. 13, at 1 p.m. in the office of the director of student activities. On October 20, there will be a club period from 9:48 to 10:38 a.m. At this time, clubs and other campus organizations may hold open meetings. Club presi¬ dents or chairmen may reserve rooms in the room reservations office in the Library building. Notices should contain the name of the organization, a brief statement of the program or purpose, and place of the meet¬ ing. The procedure for starting new organizations is as follows: se¬ cure a faculty adviser; reserve a meeting place; draw up a simple constitution state name and pur¬ pose of club, membership re¬ quirements, and rules and regu¬ lations or by-laws. Since student and faculty-stu¬ dent groups have difficulty find¬ ing suitable time and space for organization meetings, the club period on the 20th, provides an opportunity for meeting during the school day.
