Bulldogs Slide Past Vaqs ;
Predict Cubs Next Victims
Winners of their initial home game over the Glendale
City College Vaqueros by a 19 to 6 score, the Pasadena City
College Bulldogs play host to a strong crew from Los Angeles
City College in the Rose Bowl Friday night at eight. This
will be the local’s second conference encounter. The Cubs,
with three games under their belts, loom as formidable grid
opponents to this year’s Bulldog aggregation. Three halfbacks
boast a five yards per carry average in their turns at ball

less than last year’s. This is part¬

student body fees for veterans.”

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.

Coach Red Hand can also count
on some excellent talent in the
personage of Tom Novikoff. Tom

Several changes have been
made in the LACC defense in

guard spots.

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

He is James Duran who account¬

Coeds Wanted
Coeds interested in obtaining
service points for office work dur¬
ing free hours should contact Dr.
Catherine J. Robbins, local direc¬

David Vazquez, a PCC alumnus and Jan Rubini will
present a special violin and piano concert during the first half
of Friday’s assembly. Mr. Vaz¬
quez is a pianist, while Mr. Ru¬
bini plays the violin.

Sexson Auditorium.
Vazquez Travels
Recently returned from a tour
of Australia and New Zealand,
Mr. Vazquez has slated various
school concerts to honor his

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.
