OFFICERS TO BE CHOSEN IN ELECTIONS Jteaticna Щ (fhtonidc Vol. XXVIII A.M.S., A.W.S. SPONSOR TWO ASSEMBLIES Pasadena, California, February 12, 1937 No. 21 Elections Of Minor Heads Due Class Officers Slated For Choosing In Friday Student Polling BIG VOTE IS HOPED Ballots Will Be Cast In Assembly Period For Frosh Prexy With 3 p. m. today as the dead¬ line for turning in all application cards for elective and appointive offices, and the election of minor class officers slated for next Fri¬ day, February 1!), all students in¬ terested in holding an office are urged to turn in their application cards today, according to a state¬ ment by Kenneth Collins, chief jus- tice, who is in charge of the elec¬ tions. All cards must be filled out properly and placed in the box in the student body offices in the Stu¬ dent Union, so as to be in the hands of the election board, which assists Collins in all student body elections and is comprised of members of the student body and student body officers. Is Minor Office Election Offices for which the election is being held are freshman class presi¬ dent, senior, junior and sophomore class vice-presidents, secretaries and treasurers. This election, which is held only to elect minor class officers, is held the third week of each semester, thus giving the new students in the incoming half of the freshman class and other new entrants opportunity and time to turn in their applications for office and become acquainted with the candidates for each position. This election is expected by stu¬ dent and faculty officials to arouse interest among the members of the various classes, because of the fact that they are electing officers with whom they are more closely ac¬ quainted and with whom they will have to work in their separate class activities. In both the recent primaries and final elections, held at the close of last semester, a poor representative student body vote was recorded, registering only a weak 16 per cent polling of the total student body membership.
