ACE tests
for Tuesday
American Council on Education
Tests, informally referred to as
the ACE examinations, will be
held next Tuesday in Sexson Audi¬
torium.
Incoming Pasadena City College
freshmen will take the two hour
exam either from 9-11 a.m. or
from the end of this first test
until 1 p.m. All new PCC first-
year men must take the ACE
psychological examination.
STUDENTS WILL receive slips
in their basic communication
classes, indicating the hours at
which they will take the tests.
The test itself is a standard
scholastic aptitude or general in¬
telligence test. It provides a mea¬
surement of two kinds of learn¬
ing by means of two scores:
1. Quantative Score (Q), which
measures a student’s ability in
mathematical, scientific, and tech¬
nical fields; and
2. Linguistic Score (L), which
measures a person’s command of
the English language.
GENERAL ABILITY as a whole
is also provided through the sum¬
mation of the student’s total score
on the ACE test.
Results of the test will not af¬
fect a student’s status at the col¬
lege. They are primarily used by
the counselors in planning a
course of study which the college
student can best meet.
Approximately one month fol¬
lowing the completion of the test,
results will be available through
the BC teachers.
Counselors will also provide a
profile chart near the mid-semes¬
ter from which individuals can plot
their own profile for their own
information and guidance. All test
scores and recommendations, how¬
ever, should be interpreted only
by the Counseling Department.

NEXT TUESDAY, the 28-man

men’s student body at Pasadena
City College, will meet for the
first time to elect the rest of the

junction with the OMD Carnival,

They will also start work on a
dress guide to explain the cos¬

Special events in more than
10,000 communities throughout

servance of the week, sponsored

group has also sung before such
notables as Secretary of the Army

Scribes re-elect
two top officers
at initiation dinner
Initiation proceedings and the
re-election of the club’s two top
officers dominated Beta Phi Gam¬
ma’s election and initiation cere¬
monies, February 9, at the home
of photo lab assistant Mrs. Ruth
Holt.
Allan Gaul retained the gavel as
president of the honorary coedu¬
cational journalism fraternity
while Bud Green was again elect¬
ed to the organization’s vice-presi¬
dential spot.
Helene McRae was given the
nod of approval to act as the
scribes’ secretary, a natural post
for a journalist. The election of
Celtil Touchon as treasurer, and
Lynda Brangham, historian, com¬
pleted the list of officers.
Heading the list as the journal¬
ists’ main objective during the
spring is the organization of
Beta’s long history. The project
was started last year as a part
of their twenty-fifth anniversary.
Other plans tentatively set for
the group include their annual
booth at the OMD Carnival, the
sale of memo pads, and a possible
excursion to explore one of the
many phases of journalistic work.
Jones, president of the National
Conference, the main purposes of
Brotherhood Week “are to give
people an opportunity to rededi¬
cate themselves as individuals to
the ideals of respect for people
and human rights.
“WE TRY TO dramatize the
practical things that people can
do to promote understanding and
realization of those ideals. Broth¬
erhood Week is essentially a cam¬
paign against the prejudices and
bigotries that disfigure and dis¬
tort religious, business, social, and
political relations.”
The big promotion during
Brotherhood Week, as stated by
Dr. Jones, will be to urge people
to do more than simply give mere
lip service to the principles of
brotherhood.
“By getting to know the other
fellow,” urges the conference’s
president, “by understanding his
viewpoint, his ambitions, and
goals, you will find old prejudices
disappear.
"We hope that during Brother¬
hood Week people will begin to
get to know and appreciate each
other — to make brotherhood a
year-round practice.”
