PCC, Muir to Meet
Thanksgiving Day
Attended by all who are des¬
tined to have a vital part in put¬
ting on the first annual PCC-
Muir football game on Thanks¬
giving Day, a dinner meeting
was held on Tuesday, October
21, at Eaton’s Santa Anita.
Stressing the importance of co¬
operation, speakers from both
city colleges outlined the propos¬
ed plans and asked for sugges¬
tions from the group.' Earl Hold¬
er, general supervisor of the
event, stated that this year PCC
was to be the host school, but
that both groups would share in
the gate receipts.
It was decided unanimously
by the group that the kick off
time would be moved up from
the previously announced time of
2:30 to 2:00 p. m. so that the
game would be over before dark.
Another decision was made to
publish a forty page souvenir pro¬
gram which is to be edited by
the combined program staffs of
both schools. A combined edition
of the Chronicle and Blazer will
also be distributed on the day
previous to the game.
Committee assignments were
given out at the dinner. The
school principals and student
body presidents will serve on the
honored guests committee, while
assistant principals will compose
the supervisory committee. Oth¬
ers are: physical educational
chairmen, coaches and athletic
commissioners — football team;
financial advisers and finance
commissioners — tickets; program
editors and advisers — football
program; school paper editors
and advisers — college publicity;
publicity directors — publicity;
band leaders and pep commis¬
sioners — pep rallies; student body
vice-presidents and advisers — co¬
ordinating committee; alumni
presidents — alumni relations.
AMS To Seek
Glamour Girl
....On your toes, girls!
Beginning this week members
of the AMS Board will be patrol-
ing the campus looking for
“glamour girls” to participate in
the men students’ glamour pho¬
tography contest which is sched¬
uled to run for the next six
weeks.
Each week the men will choose
the girl they feel is the most
photogenic. The “K” photogra¬
phy studios, official Campus pho¬
tographers, will take a profes¬
sional glamour photograph and
the picture will be displayed on
a bulletin board in the main hall.
At the end of six weeks a com¬
mittee of photographers and
newspaper men will choose one
photo out of the six and the
winning girl will be crowned Miss
Glamour of 1948. In addition, the
winning contestant will reign as
queen over the AMS snow party
and will receive an eleven by
fourteen inch color portrait as
grand prize.
All girls who are student body
members and not in the Rose
Tournament finals are eligible to
participate in the contest, ac¬
cording to Martin Stornie, AMS
prexy.

VA Policy May Not Aid
SB Finances This Semester
Earl Holder, student body financial adviser, announced
this week that the recent change in Veterans Administration
policy has not as yet created a bed of roses as far as student
body finances are concerned.
“Crux of the matter,” Holder stated, “is that the school
has received no verification in writing, although the VA has
made a verbal agreement to com¬
plete payment on veteran’s sup- - -
plies and student body books
within 90 days.”
Commissioner of Finance John
Koschwanez stated in a Chronicle
interview that even if the VA ap¬
propriation arrives sooner than
planned the funds will not be
available this semester. Kosch¬
wanez added that organizations
wishing an increase in appropria¬
tions must stay within their bud¬
gets this semester. If ample
funds arrive from the VA, the
finance committee will review the
present budgets and increase
grants of student body monies
where deemed necessary for the
following semester.
