Nichols’ Penniesfto
Jingle at Assembly
To start the spring semester off on the right note, Circle
К
has engaged Red Nichols and his Five Pennies for the first
assembly of the new term, January 31, in Sexson Auditorium.
The Dixielander and his outstanding aggregation is popular
with Pasadena students, as he
has headlined the first second se¬
mester assembly several times.
This may be due to the fact that
the Circle
К
members tradition¬
ally sponsor this particular as¬
sembly, and know how to pick
talent that PCCites prefer.
Nichols is a man who has been
in the music business since be¬
fore many City Collegians can re¬
member. • The all time greats like
Glen Miller, Tommy and Jimmy
Dorsey, and many, many more
too numerous to name, got their
start with Nichols and his music
makers.
TV Honors Nichols
During the past semester most
of the big names in music, whom
Red helped to begin the long
climb up the ladder of success,
gathered to honor him when he
was the principal subject of Art
Linkletter’s famous weekly show,
“This Is Your Life.” Others in
the music line also appeared at
that time to do their part in pay¬
ing homage to this grand man
of music.
Kaye to Portray Nichols
Currently, one of the major
studios is filming 'the life of Red
Nichols, and starring in the lead¬
ing role is the irrepressable Dan¬
ny Kaye, one of the top stars of
today.
Red, though foremost in the
music field, has not been in it con¬
tinuously all his life. It has been
just in recent years that his group
has returned to Dixieland lovers
the country over.
Circle
К
Accepts
Fifteen Applicants
Fifteen new members will be
officially welcomed and initiated
into Circle
К
next Friday eve¬
ning, February 1.
The meeting, scheduled to be
held in the home of Don Fedde,
the service club’s president, will
begin at 8 p.m. First on the order
of business for the group will be
the initiation of new members.
Immediately following this, club
members, new and old, will elect
their new officers for the coming
semester.
Entertainment for the members
and their dates will complete the
evening’s activities.
Circle K, one of the most active
clubs on campus, carries on a
variety of activities. Last week¬
end, taking a rest from their more
formal duties, the club spent two
days in the snow at Ice House
Canyon.
The “service” men will initiate
the following men into their
group Friday: Lloyd Kazmaier,
Larry Walker, Doug Stone, Bill
Clark, John Caldwell, Bob Daniels,
Steve Salisian, Herb James, Rich¬
ard Tichy, Bob Flowers, Obie
Blakely, Dick Crouter, John Mil¬
ler, Don Venable, and Dick Has¬
ten.
The Students’ Problem , . .
At the end of each semester, when students have com¬
pleted their finals and are selling their books back to the
campus bookstore, PCC breaks out in a rash of missing books.
According to the administration, the past semester has
exceeded previous ones in the number of books sold back to
the bookstore by persons other than the rightful owners.
A student who entertains ideas of taking and selling-
books which do not belong to him should bear in mind that
illegally sold books can be traced back to the one who sold
them. It has been done — this semester.
Any collegian who commits a misdemeanor of this type is
subject to an automatic dismissal from college. The adminis¬
tration has no choice but to enter all grades earned to date as
an “F” on the student’s permanent record along with a nota¬
tion that the student was given a dishonorable dismissal. A
period of one semester must lapse before the student may be
considered for readmission to the college.
It is rather ironical 'but the fact remains that students
who leave their books in doorways, on curbs, steps, and benches
are inviting the loss of their property. There are not enough
lockers for everyone, and though the administration would
like to help there is no extra space at the present time in which
lockeijs can be added. However, at present this is a situation
which is unavoidable. Many colleges and universities do not
supply lockers of any kind for their students.
The problem involving theft is serious. Therefore, it
becomes the responsibility of every student enrolled at PCC to
aid the administration and the student body in preventing
occurrences of this type. Have YOU done YOUR part?
IBM MAKES PROGRAMMING EASIER . . . Now students do not have quite so many cards to
fill out when registration day rolls around. Thanks for this goes to the IBM office which has pro¬
cessed the cards thoroughly, following programming and is able to present each student with a class
card already completed. The “mob” scene above bears witness to the fact that PCC’s IBM office does
an efficient and thorough job of speeding up the tedious job of registration.
Registration Closes
With 6800 Enrolled
According to figures issued Fri¬
day, Jan. 25, from the office of
John B. Weldon, PCC registrar,
the estimated 3800 day school stu¬
dents have completed their regis¬
tration for the spring semester.
For the night school-classes, Feb¬
ruary 1 will be the last day for
admission. Approximately 3000
students have registered for Ex¬
tended' Day courses.
Last Monday, Jan. 28, was the
first day of the second semester.
Total enrollment for the new term
showed a decrease of 300 pupils
under the registration figures for
the fall semester. In September,
7099 students was the combined
enrollment of the day and extend¬
ed day classes.
Records show that students this
year began programming earlier
for the second semester than
students of the previous year.
Several classes reached their ca¬
pacity within three week after
programming began.
THIS IS RED NICHOLS . . . who, with his Five Pennies, will
appear on the stage in Sexson Auditorium under the sponsorship
of Circle K. This will be an Associated Student Body assembly.
President Outlines Jobs,
Activities PCC Offers
To the new students who are entering Pasadena City
College this semester I wish to extend a very sincere wel¬
come. And to those returning may I say with equal sincerity,
“Welcome back!” During the past semester many people
were somewhat surprised to learn
that student government operates
each year on a $50,000 budget.
Many of these people had at¬
tended PCC for a number of se¬
mesters and yet were still un¬
aware of the functions and juris¬
diction of the Board of Repre¬
sentatives and the Cabinet — the
body that governs them.
I hope you are not making the
mistake of not participating in
your government. In participat¬
ing I do not necessarily mean you
must hold an office. I mean sim¬
ply that you should know the
challenges and opportunities of
your government so you can un¬
derstand and take advantage of
its many benefits.
For example, your government
has provisions for many extra¬
curricular activities. They have
been created to help you find
where your interests and your
talents lie. For those who have
already chosen their fields of
study, extra-curricular activities
will develop those interests and
talents.
There is an activity suited to
every student government, service
clubs, technical clubs, and recrea¬
tion clubs.
Those of us already associated
with these organizations have
learned to appreciate the value
of our membership in them.
We of student government
would like to know you person¬
ally, and if we can be of assist¬
ance to you, please drop into the
Student Body Office, 17C, at any
time.
Ed Brower, ASB President
