who have contributed to the uncleanliness on campus, remember that your thoughtlessness means
more work for others, and make a conscious effort to throw your debris in the proper places.

Bookworms Squirm
to Meet Deadline
The seventh annual bookworm
contest is underway. Each year
the Library Councils of Pasadena
High School and Pasadena City
College jointly sponsor a contest
to encourage students to build
well rounded libraries.
Each contestant must submit
a list of the books owned by
him, giving author, title, pub¬
lisher, and date of each, to Her¬
man L. Smith, head librarian,
by Monday, Nov. 15. The list
must be accompanied by the
student’s name, address, tele¬
phone number, and subject field
of his collection.
Judgement will be made on the
basis of variety, completeness,
and quality of the collection, not
on the basis of cost. Twenty-five
cent editions of good books are
.completely satisfactory. The
books should, however, be in a
particular subject field represent¬
ing the student’s major interest,
and should consist of books ac¬
quired by the student for his per¬
sonal collection, not after the
contest has begun.
The first prize, donated by
The Brown Shop, will be a pur¬
chase order for $15 worth of
books, and the second prize, do¬
nated by Vroman’s, will be a $10
book order.
The Library Council reserves
the right to display the books for
one month, if desired. Previous
prize-winners are ineligible.
Previous prize-winners have
had categories such as German
history, English heraldry, British
and American literature, and,
most recently, mountaineering
and the Sierra Nevada.
Pete Caputo, AWS President Sue
Thistlewhite, and dean of student
activities, Dr. Robert Haugh, will
board the train tonight.
Vice-president Larry Walker,
Sophomore Class President Bob
Flowers, Finance Commissioner
Bob Bartlett, and student govern¬
ment adviser Dr. Irvin Lewis, will
fly to the conference
Exchange Ideas
The conference begins tomor¬
row and will continue through
Saturday. It is being held to
enable the 60 member junior col¬
leges of California to get together
and • discuss various government
activities which each school has
achieved. The various schools re¬
late their governmental structure
and how effective it has proven.
Workshops have been organized
and each delegate will be assigned
to attend one session according to
his or her office in student gov¬
ernment.
Social Activities
Several social activities have
been organized for the delegates.
Thursday evening, a get-acquaint¬
ed dance has been planned. A
talent show and dance will be
held Friday night.
Next semester, the conference
will be held in Pasadena, with
Citrus, Mt. San Antonio, Glen¬
dale and Pasadena co-hosting.
Alumni Association
Plans Homecoming
Alumni will take over the lime¬
light November _ 22 when PCC
celebrates its annual homecoming
festivities. A gridiron contest be¬
tween the Lancer varsity football
squad and Glendale’s team will
take place at 8 p.m. on the home
field.
The alumni will sponsor a
homecoming queen for the Lancer
game and will crown her either
preceding the event or during
halftime. The girl will be selected
from PCC’s graduates by the
alumni association. Her court will
consist of the candidates for Red
and Gold queen, the AMS queen
contest, who will be selected the
following Wednesday.
Another highlight of the day’s
activities will be a special alumni
dance following the game. Ac¬
cording to Pep Commissioner
Doug Stone, the dance is open
to both students and alumni and
will be held in either the Wom¬
en’s Gym or Harbeson Hall.
Service clubs on campus are be¬
ing urged to send letters to their
alumni inviting them to the event.
In addition, an alumni band and
choir is being organized to take
part in the halftime activities of
the Lancer grid contest.
ron Lewis, the members of the
campus beautification committee
are working to become college
criers. The representatives from
9 o’clock classes will report to
their classes each week on college
and city-wide drives and how
Lancers can contribute to them.
According to Byron, this is
the first time the club has been
organized to incorporate more
than clean campus duties and
for this reason, the group is en¬
tertaining the idea of changing
its name. An important meet¬
ing will be held next Wednes¬
day afternoon at 3 o’clock in
200C to outline the club’s fu¬
ture plans. All students inter¬
ested in helping with campus
drives or for any kind of com¬
mittee work and projects are
welcome to attend.
One of the first activities of
the club was to look into the
matter of providing more ciga¬
rette cans in strategic campus lo¬
cations. A second project is the
issuing of litter bags which will
be done within the next few
weeks.
Approximately 5000 bags
have been ordered to be given
to every student and faculty
member of PCC. Paper pick-up
sticks are now available in ad¬
viser Dr. Catherine Robbins’
office for students who have the
time to check one out and pick
up papers.
Working with Lewis in the vari¬
ous clean campus activities are
his two officers, Vice-president Bill
Short and Secretary Jeanne An¬
derson.
At the present time, the com¬
mittee is searching for a cartoon
character to promote their litter-
bugging drive. The character is to
be a symbol of a clean campus.
Students with ideas or drawings
of a litterbug character are urged
to present them to the College 100
next Wednesday.
Lancers' Cars Get
'Rub a Dub Dub'
Wether it be a ’28 Model T or a
’58 T Bird, the hard-working Cir¬
cle
К
men will give every car a
complete sprucing up next Tues¬
day, Nov. 19, as their semi-annual
campus car wash project. Lan¬
cers desiring this special treat¬
ment for their cars can drive them
to the women’s basketball courts
any time between 7 a.m. and 3
p.m.
For the cut-rate price of $1,
students will receive a clean-up
job from tail pipe to antenna.
White walls will be given spe¬
cial attention and students can
indicate whether they want
their car washed with soap or
not. Both the inside and out
will be covered by the members
of th6 campus men’s service or¬
ganization.
A central filing system for keys
will be set up in the basketball
courts so cars will not have to re¬
main unlpcked after being clean¬
ed. According to car wash chair¬
man Dick Tichy, Circle
К
expects
both faculty and student partici¬
pation in this event.
Instructors who wish to have
their cars cleaned can drive
their cars to a special section
of the faculty lot where cars
will be picked up by Circle K,
washed and cleaned, and then
returned to the lot.
“Just forget to wash your car
this week and then bring it to the
Circle
К
Car Wash for a real
bang-up job,” declared club presi¬
dent Herb James.

varsity forensic events are the
speech students who will fare to
distant campuses to represent
Pasadena City College at speech
functions. Next event on the heav¬
ily laden schedule will be the
Western Speech Association Tour¬
nament at Pepperdine College, to
be held November 25-27. Partici¬
pation in oratory, impromptu, ex¬
temporaneous, and interpretive

speech team is made up mostly
of new members because a ma¬
jority of the varsity team gradu¬
ated last June. Dr. Paul Smith
acts in the capacity of adviser
for forensic activities.
In April a special delegation
will travel to Hutchinson, Kan., for
the Phi Rho Pi National Tourna¬
ment. The students representing
PCC will participate in debate,
extemporaneous, interpretive, im¬
promptu and oratory events.
Campus Celebrates
Education Week
In observance of American Ed¬
ucation Week, which runs from
November 10 through 16, PCC
is displaying various posters and
exhibits. Perhaps one of the most
outstanding features happening
during this week is the mid-term
exams. It has not been established
whether mid-terms originated
around AEW, or AEW originated
directly from the exams, but it
has been established that the mid¬
terms contribute greatly to the
stressing of education.
Discussions will be held in class¬
es where it will be appropriate,
such as the social sciences. Any
phase of education may be dis¬
cussed, from the problems to the
worthwhileness of school.
