Six students have qualified as provisional members, having completed only part of the necessary require¬ ments. New members are Sylvia King, Dean Stewart, Sally Ryan, Tom Sproull, Dick Waltz, Jane Young, John Stees, John Holmstrom, Chuck Crafts, JoAnn Hoban and Robert Milian. Provisional members are Mike Byrne, Ginger Dubberly, Hossein Ghaffari, Lynne Kaesemeyer, Tony Cuppari, and Bob Leslie. After performing additional tasks in stage production, stage tech¬ nology or acting, they, too, will be eligible for active membership. Initiation will be held during February. The new members will be given a choice of presenting a 30-line soliloquy from Shake¬ speare, designing and building a stage setting, or presenting a- make-up creation. They will also be required to take a test con¬ sisting of questions covering the theater from ancient to modern times. 'No Fun All work and no play this week for Lancers as finals take up all their time. Consequently, no assembly nor club day is scheduled this week so that stu¬ dents may have an opportunity to study. Prizes Presented to Paper Pickers Clean Up Week, sponsored by the Campus College 100, proved to be a large success according to the members of that organization. The event began the morning of January 20 and continued through yesterday. Early last Wednesday morning a rally was held on the Prairie, highlighted by the announcement that Doug Stone had been chosen “Clean Up Queen.” Student Stu Rubin proved to be the .mayor of the festivities rather than Pasa¬ dena’s Honorable Seth Miller as stated previously. Cards directed to litterbugs stating “Don’t miss the can you SLOB, this is litter,” were scatter¬ ed about the campus. Signs have been posted to publicize and pro¬ mote cooperation during clean up week. Hit records were recently pre¬ sented as prizes to two PCC stu¬ dents, Waldy Koerper and Stan Warner, and Bob Hayes, attend¬ ing PHS, who were seen picking litter from the ground and depos¬ iting it in a trash can. Membership in the College 100 is not limited. President of the organization, Byron Lewis, urges all students interested in member¬ ship to indicate this fact to their next semester’s 9 o’clock teacher from whose classes the represent¬ atives are chosen. Increase in Registration Noted in Extended Day Judging by registration figures thus far, at the midpoint of the week, the extended day enrollment will be increased, while the day classes will remain approximately the same. Approximately 3500 are expected to enroll in extended day, as compared with the 2700 now - - attending evening classes. Four thousand are expected to register for the day classes, according to Registrar John B. Weldon. Registration is being held in Harbeson Hall every day this week. All students who have made out and submitted a pro¬ gram must register during this ' time, or face automatic dismissal from school. The newly perfected procedure of registering by mail was not used this semester, due to insuf¬ ficient time, but will be adopted to a great extent next fall. First attempted at the beginning of the fall 1957 semester, it was proven so successful that plans are being made to use it almost exclusively next semester. A great deal of Sports Cars Given Exclusive Privilege In defense of those students who like their cars and parking spaces to be small and compact, the PCC traffic officer, Curtis Benedict, has recently turned over the southeast corner of the north parking lot to them by having the area marked off and by pro¬ viding a painted notice which stip¬ ulates that the area is for small cars only. Many small car owners had habitually parked in the odd shaped corner in a manner that was confusing to view but effect¬ ive in practice because all the space was utilized. Therefore, the area could accommodate about four times as many cars as any other spot that size in the lot. This area is now officially theirs. confusion and wasted time is avoided, as well as transporta¬ tion difficulties which often re¬ sult. Board Names Jenkins as New Superintendent Beginning April 1, the Pasadena City Schools will have a new supervisor, in the person of Dr. Robert E. Jenkins of Ridgewood, N.J. Dr. Jenkins was appointed to the vacant post early last week by the Board of Education, and will serve as the twelfth superintendent of Omicron Mu Delta Elects New Board Pasadena’s schools. Currently superintendent of the Ridgewood schools, he was formerly assistant superintend¬ ent for instruction in San Diego. Dr. Jenkins holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Co¬ lumbia College and master’s and doctor’s degrees in educa¬ tion from Columbia Teachers College. The Board of Education in a press statement mentioned that under Dr. Jenkins’ guidance, 85 per cent of Ridgewood’s high school graduates went on to col¬ lege, and the school now has twice as many honor students as any other school in New Jersey. Fur¬ ther, a grading system instituted by Jenkins has received 98 per cent parents’ approval. A native of New York, the 47- year-old educator is also a veter¬ an of World War II, and has worked as an instructor at the Biarritz American University in France as well as an adminis¬ trator in Oklahoma City, San Diego, Ridgewood, and at the Columbia Teachers College. Also a civic leader, Dr. Jenkins is immediate past president of the Ridgewood Rotary Club and serves on the boards of the Com¬ munity Chest, Pease Memorial Li¬ brary, American Red Cross, and Family Service, and is an elder in the Presbyterian Church. He is also a member of Phi Delta Kappa, Kappa Delta Pi, and a number of educational commit¬ tees and associations. Dr. Jenkins will succeed Dr. Stuart Marsee, who has been serv¬ ing as superintendent during an interim period. His delayed ar¬ rival is due to his wish to com¬ plete projects already undertaken in Ridgewood. Three new tappees and one old¬ er member of OMD comprise the executive board of Omicron Mu Delta for the spring semester of 1958. The officers were elected at last Thursday’s banquet honor¬ ing the new tappees and resulted in Herb James being named to the presidency. Assisting him as vice-president will be Sue Thistlewhite with Mary Lou Johnson as secretary and Pete Molnar taking over the treasurer position. ■ PCC’s highest honorary frater¬ nity will be in charge of the an¬ nual OMD carnival in a few months and these officers plus the remaining 11 active members will sponsor the climactic event. The semesterly tappee banquet was held in the Magnolia Room of Gwinn’s Restaurant where over 50 persons, actives, alums and honoraries, gathered in honor of the recent tapping. Following the dinner, the Crown City Four, popular barbershop quartet, vo¬ calized and chatted with the gath¬ ering. OMD president Dick Tichy pre¬ sided over the banquet and wel¬ comed the new members. He in¬ troduced Dr. William B. Langs- dorf who also extended greetings and gave a resume of the club’s history. The recent recipients of the OMD award then had an oppor¬ tunity to meet the persons who have been tapped in past years into the highest honorary service organization on campus.
