Of Pictures Constitutes Easy Contest Procedure THREE PRIZES AVAILABLE Highest Total Of Points Gets Special Book, Winner's Name Engraved In Gold  Offering the  students and fa-culty members of San Jose  State college the  chance of winning their  1935 La Torre, the La Torre staff  under the direction of its editor, Charles Pinkham, will  begin  the recently  announced "Picture  Iden-tification Contest" Monday  morn-ing. The contest, which consists of students  and faculty  members  judging  the location and subject of the pictures that will be plac-ed in the show cases  of the publi-cations office for the next five weeks will offer three prizes, states Pinkham. The grand prize, a special La Torre with the winners name en-graved on the cover will go to the student receiving  the highest amount of points. Prizes, consisting  of regular vol-umes of the La Torre will go to the faculty and State co-ed who  In the judges opinion has received  the largest number  of points  in their respective  classes. "However," declares Pinkham, "there  will be a limited number of winners and despite the fact that students are  planning to win  their La Torres  they should  make their  down payments early  and be certain of receiving a La Torre; every one can't win  and  those stu-dents who are  declared the  "lucky winners" can  always have their  money refunded."

PICKWELL OF FACULTY The Mojave desert in the blos-som of early spring; plants, ani-mals, birds, and insects which are famous inhabitants of the desertall these were graphically des-cribed by Dr. Gayle Pickwell  of the college faculty at the first Science Seminar of the quarter Monday evening.  From material gathered during frequent  visits to the deserts of California  in company with other members of the Science depart-ment  faculty, Dr. Pickwell  selected some  of the  most interesting fea-tures, ilustrating his talk with a number  of attractive  slides.  Tom Rodgers,  a science major  who ac-companied  Dr.  Pickwell on his des-ert trips, operated the projector. 'HE-MAN' DESERTS "We have in America real 'he-man' deserts," Dr.  Pickwell  stated. "The Mojave  is as large  as some of the eastern  states." He then proceeded to prove his assertion by showing a compre- Five water  color  paintings  de- Spartan Knights hensive collection of pictures. Picting scenes  of California  color. Another Another slide showed Dr. Carl Duncan and Tom Rodgers exulting over  the capture of a plump Chuckwalla lizard. This  reptile, Dr. Pickwell ex-plained, puffs himself up in his hiding place when in danger of being caught and thus gets con-veniently stuck. The Indian method of conquering this little trick of nature is to stick a cactus thorn  promptly  into the lizard, deflate him, and  pull  him out as a choice delicacy. WIND ACTION  The mountains of the  area (Continued on page fourl ' From Name  Made President  MacQuarrie Attends  Meeting  Of College Heads  5 Mendelowitz Water Colors Hung at Exhibit A bill effecting the much discus-sed name change of this college, omitting the word "teacher" from the title, was proposed by the  Cal-ifornia State College Communi-ties Association, at its 1st meeting In the Supreme Court room, Sac-ramento,  last Thursday, which was attended by President T.W. Mac-Quarrie and heads of six other state colleges. The basis for the change to be jointly introduced by several leg-islators is that the colleges in question are now generally refer-red to as simply state colleges and the communities prefer it to the state teachers college title, declar-ed Dr. MacQuarrie. The bill will be the old law with the word "teachers" struck out. Other presidents who took part in this decision were those from the colleges at Chico, Humboldt, San Diego, San Francisco,  Santa Barbara, and Fresno. Mr. Charles F. Crothers, chair-man of the San Jose  Association, was elected chairman of the group with Mr. A. J. Holland of Fres-no as executive secretary. The ob-jective of the Association is to make available  the combined  pow-er of the communities, and it was decided that it would be called in-to activity whenever  needed. The question of budgets WAS the sec-ond important subject discussed. While in Sacramento Dr.  Mac-Quarrie also attended  a meeting  of the presidents  of state colleges,  Mid another of the State  Board of Education, the State Depart-ment of Education,  representa-tives of the State Parent-Teach-ers Association, and the  Sacra-mento city education  authorities   "'Trees" ranging from the vicious,  cur layed principally in and abols A spiny  Cholla cactus to the docile San Jose, the work of Mr.  Daniel barrel cactus and the famous  des- Mendelowitz, art department M.- ert Juniper,  presented an interest- culty member,  are now on display ing contrast  to the dominant plant ' in the Legion of Honor building of the desert- pattern of growth, in San Francisco.
