Pledges Prepare
Dinner for Deltas
Delta Psi Omega, the drama
fraternity on campus, admitted
six new members on Saturday,
January 19, following a dinner
held at the home of Van Moller.
The pledges prepared the din¬
ner in honor of the Delta actives,
alumni, and honoraries. They also
provided the evening’s entertain¬
ment which included a scene from
Shakespeare, a demonstration of
the techniques of make-up and a
miniature stage set.
The six new members are Van
Moller, Fran Elam, John Kline,
Frank Way, Jerry Paxson, and
Marcia Mancuso.
Future plans of the drama so¬
ciety include supporting the
spring plays, “Twelfth Night”
and “The Caine Mutiny,” and run¬
ning a booth for the OMD Carni¬
val.
Dean Proposes
Student Committee
Administrative Dean Dr. Cath¬
erine J. Robbins has recently
made the recommendation, on the
basis of the PCC Accreditation
Report, that a College Students
Curriculum Committee be formed.
The Accreditation Report itself in¬
dicated that students ought to be
included to a greater extent in
the study and development of
curriculum at PCC.
Rather than add students to the
now large Curriculum Committee,
however, the proposed College
Student Curriculum Committee
would be purely an advisory one.
Recommendations went out last
week to department chairmen
that they name two students to
such a committee in the hope that
the students so named might have
some combined meetings with the
College and Faculty Associations.

KPRS, Pasadena City College’s
student radio station, discon¬
tinued operations on Monday
of last week. This was due to
the many preparations neces¬
sary to start full FM broad¬
casting. The station plans to
return to the air as a licensed
educational station approxi¬
mately March 1.

The American Friends’ Service
Committee maintains a continu¬
ous shipping program of clothing
to many needy areas. They are
currently shipping articles to Ja¬
pan, Korea, Southern Italy, and
parts of Central Europe, as well
as to Austria.
Sixty thousand pounds of
clothing have been made avail¬
able for the Hungarian refugees,
30,000 of which are still to be
packed and shipped. Kellogg
Peckham of the Committee
stated that space has been re¬
served already for an early in
February shipping, but time is
getting short for the sorting and
packing of the clothing.
One of the first to offer relief to
people in Hungary, the American
Friends’ Service Committee is a
40-year-old organization, having
been formed in 1917. This group
arose out of the concern for the
Quakers to be of service to the
needy anywhere in the world, re¬
gardless of race, color, religion,
or political affiliation.
SO YOU THINK YOU HAVE TROUBLES! . . . It’s not just
collegians this week but the instructors too who are tearing their
hair out over grades. Robert Bowlus, physical science teacher,
demonstrates some of the more hair raising results of this har¬
ried week. Note the popped eyes, the unkempt appearance, and
the level of instant coffee in the bottle. You should be glad you’re
a student at this rate.
