Offering an opportunity for
PCC men students to gain val¬
uable business experience, the
Argonauts, campus service or¬

students and listeners with local
and national traffic regulations.
The questions are taken from
the state vehicle code and also
from those sent in by the listen¬
ing audience. Free lubrication
jobs and tickets to the police
vaudeville show are only a few of
the prizes given to contestants
by the sponsoring Pasadena Po¬
lice Department.
Toward the end of 1946, city
officials decided they would limit
the contestants to those who are
members of the PCC and John
Muir student bodies.
During these programs each
side is given 30 seconds to an¬
nounce the coming sports and so¬

Ted Smith of the Pasadena Po¬

these programs we hope to create
more interest in the problem of
traffic violations of this commun¬
ity.”
