A Circus in Town?
Or So Bt Seems
No, we’re not having a circus but you can have just as
much fun by getting out and joining a club during PCC’s first
Club Day tomorrow. Under the direction of ICC commissioner
George Jenkins, over 50 clubs will welcome to their ranks
Foreign Language
Instructor Earns
PhD in Philology
The reward for four years of
intensive study and research
came last June for Henry F. Cor-
delius, instructor in Pasadena City
College’s Department of Foreign
Languages, when he received his
PhD in language and philology
from the University of Southern
California.
Cordelius, who is a teacher of
German, used as the subject mat¬
ter of his dissertation an untitled
100-page manuscript owned by
the Huntington Library. The sub¬
ject of the manuscript is a cul¬
tural history of Europe in gen¬
eral and of Germany in particu¬
lar. It was written in Latin by
Aeneas Silvius, later Pope Pius II
in 1458 and first printed in 1496.
Besides translating the docu¬
ment from the medieval Latin,
which is quite different from the
classical Latin taught in high
school, Cordelius had to trace
down information on persons
mentioned in the manuscript and
check statements of fact made by
the author. Materials from the
Universities of Harvard, Michi¬
gan, and UCLA served as the
main source for this phase of the
work.
The study is an especially val¬
uable contribution since this
work is the only known history
of Germany written from the
time of the Roman Empire until
modern times.
new members in this all-out mem¬
bership drive. It is the hope of
the ICC and the clubs that each
and every student will join at
least one club.
The activities carried on by the
clubs are as much a part of
school life as is the actual class¬
room work, and it’s a lot more
fun. Through the clubs one be¬
gins to meet people and build his
social- life as well as adding to
his own experience and pleasure.
On a campus of this size there
is a club designed to meet the
needs and desires of every stu¬
dent. All one has to do to join
is look over the list of clubs, pick
out those that interest you the
most, go to the meeting place and
join. It’s as simple as that, so
let’s all get out and join that club
today.
Talent Tryouts
Set for Next Week
The Hi-liters, PCC’s high rank¬
ing entertainment organization
will hold its semi-annual audi¬
tions Monday, Oct. 3, and Tues¬
day, Oct. 4, in Harbeson Hall.
Almost every person at PCC
has seen the Hi-liters in action
either here or in one of their
many off-campus shows. With a
record such as theirs little need
be said as to the benefits gained
by an entertainer working with
this organization.
According to the Hi-liter pub¬
licity director, Dick Denison, their
greatest need is for ventriloquists,
acrobats, impersonators, panto-
mimists, and any and all unusual
acts. Their need does not stop
there though. They ask that every¬
one who is interested in enter¬
tainment come and audition.
Science Council Changes
Constitution for Hew Plan
At the home of Ralph J. Hall¬
man, chairman of the Department
of Social Science, was held the
first formal meeting of the Social
Science Council. Election of of¬
ficers, constitutional changes and
planning the year's activities was
the order of business.
Officers elected were Beryl
Case, president; Gunnar Engen,
vice-president; and Joan McAvoy,
secretary. Changes in the con¬
stitution involved membership,
and it is hoped that these changes
will cause the department clubs,
through council representation,
to participate more actively in
social science projects.
The project discussed of great¬
est interest was the proposed es¬
tablishment of a national honor¬
ary social science society chapter.
Membership in Sigma Tau Sig¬
ma would be open to all students
in the Social Science Department.
The next Social Science Coun¬
cil meeting will be held October
6 and it is requested that all mem¬
bers be present as important bus¬
iness will be on the agenda.
