Well, you’d better get your polio immunization today while they’re being given on campus. What’s that you say? You’re under 21 years of age? Better run home and get a note from your mother. Cost of this pro¬ tection from disease is only $1. Students are reminded that they should not take the innocula- tion of they are suffering from a cold or fever. Even if you don’t have a buck, come on in to 18C today between the hours of 12 and 4 p.m. Fete concessions compete for carnival theme trophies With the annual OMD Carnival only two days away, the various campus organizations are busily occupied with the task of putting the final touches on the plans for their booths in the carnival this Friday. Each concession will be pointing towards the trophies which will be - awarded to the most original in design and decoration and the one judged the most in keeping with the Alpine theme of the affair. Approximately 30 clubs will be represented in the festivities in¬ cluding Delta Psi Omega, the hon¬ orary drama fraternity, which will sponsor a sideshow called “77 Glacier Strip,” and the Newman Club’s pizza booth. AMS will provide a stand titled “Glacier Dip”; the alumni will get into the act with a hot dog stand and the Spartans’ achieve¬ ment will be “A Bicycle Built for Two.” A marriage booth will be conducted by the AWS while Beta Phi Gamma, the honorary jour¬ nalism fraternity, will provide Al¬ pine beta bars for the hungry carnival patrons. Other clubs will sponsor a pow¬ der puff throw, a snow cone booth and a pop corn stand. OMD script will be the purchasing medium at the carnival and may be obtained at the OMD booth. All the money obtained from the carnival will go into a scholarship fund. “The winner,” Mr. Ohlsen con¬ tinued, “had to possess more than just a talent and understanding of literature. He had to have a genuine feeling for the subject and, naturally, had to be a straight ‘A’ student in literature.” THE BROWNING Society of Pasadena actually gives the $50 cash award to the winner, but they leave the judging to the lit¬ erature instructors of the college. This year, nine teachers were in¬ volved in the final decision. Robert LaRue, who is married and has an 18-months-old daugh¬ ter, plans to attend Pomona Col¬ lege in the fall where he will con¬ tinue his studies as an English major. After he has graduated he intends to go into the teaching profession. A NATIVE Pasadenan, he at¬ tended Pasadena High School and completed his first year, of col¬ lege at PCC in 1953. He inter¬ rupted his studies, however, to serve a two-year hitch in the United States Marine Corps but returned to college last fall in or¬ der to complete his courses for transfer to Pomona. Chairman Ohlsen made the pre¬ sentation of the award yesterday at a luncheon given by the Brown¬ ing Society at the Women’s City Club. In addition to the $50 cash prize, LaRue was also awarded a volume containing the complete poetic works of Robert Browning. The award has been presented annually since its inception back in 1928. Last year, the society which meets regularly to read, discuss and analyze the writings of Browning, presented Mrs. Eliz¬ abeth Davis with the award.
