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.

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.

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.” AMS board holds installation dinner AMS President Bob Hutchins will summon his new board of 14 sophomores and a like number of freshmen to the board’s semi-annual installation dinner this Friday at 6 p.m. at San Marino’s Marino House restaurant.
