Pasadena Chronicle, January 04, 1946

Vol. 38 Pasadena Junior College, January 4, 1946 No. 12 Gledhill . . Fred Gledhill, returned ex-ser¬ viceman, has for his platform a program of school advancement which would be hard to equal. Having had experience in work¬ ing with students prior to enter¬ ing the service, Fred feels qual¬ ified for the highest office in our college. As the school is getting back to its pre-war standards of en¬ thusiasm, Fred has definite activ¬ ities to be inaugurated, and he would continue the school activi¬ ties which have proven success¬ ful in the past. We therefore ask you to consider each step of his platform and to make the wisest choice in voting. 1. Increased school spirit, brought about by more inter¬ class activity, dances, class days; also a freshman initiation, thus bringing back the red and white beanies which are required of all freshmen in the universities and were proven successful in past years. 2. School enthusiasm will be in¬ creased by pre-game rallies, res¬ trictive club participation in more school affairs, plus more general student projects. 3. More community interest will be invoked by community nights with all school organizations par¬ ticipating. 4. Parent interest in students will only be had when the parents are given an insight into Student Body functions. This is to be ac¬ complished by parent nights. 5. A new angle is merchant enthusiasm. The students could donate their art or other talent to various city merchants, thus bringing into being a feeling of cooperation which has never ex¬ isted before. The college could co-sponsor dances with such or¬ ganizations as the Chamber of Commerce or other service organ¬ izations of the city. 6. Smoother functioning of stu¬ dent government — bring faculty supervision to a minimum and have more able student represen¬ tation in all our offices. Various students who show the ability would be able to present assem¬ blies for the school, something which has been virtually Impos¬ sible in the past. With more recognition of stu¬ dents who serve on the court and cabinet, once again it will be an honor to hold an office in our student government. Considering Fred’s platform in retrospect, it presents to the read¬ er a program of original, con¬ structive and progressive ideas for a semester which will be long remembered as one in which real progress was made. — Leon Shiells Logan Fred Gledhill, Bob Reed and Don Logan, candidates for the office of Associated Student Body Prexy. йЖЯ- ■ ■ Reed . . . Q.W.£. . . Skip White: A leader’s first duty is to work with his fellow men, to help them with their problems to put over their ideas and thoughts. If selected for the office of AMS president, I will do my job to the best of my ability. Qualifications: General activi¬ ties, Frosh Council, Soph Class President, MOS Restrictive Club, Sports, AMS Board. Phil Miller: The office of AMS President, which I am seeking is one which, when properly managed, and with the support of the entire student body, becomes the force which brings to its Alma Mater long and lasting satisfaction, both to the school and to the community. I would not seek this office if I felt that I could not have that support. I shall devote this office to the principles for which it stands, and give full support to the constitu¬ tional privileges to which AMS has always strived, greater fel¬ lowship among all PJC’ers. Qualifications: AMS Board member, X-ANM, Lancer, Shield- man, Ski Club, Junior Class Coun¬ cil, President of Hi-Liters, Peg¬ asus Restrictive Club.

Everyone knows that to do a job efficiently, one must prepare himself for it. With two sem¬ esters on the board of represen¬ tatives and three semesters of extra curricular activities, I have worked with Student Body Presi¬ dent as my goal. The most talked about topics on campus at this time seem to be: school spirit, MRICCY, the city’s memorial for vets, and an Easter Sunrise Service in the Rose Bowl. The following are my views on these subjects. For the past 4 semesters, most of the candidates for office have promised to build up our school spirit. They did their best, as much as any one person could do, but there still wasn’t that certain feeling for our Alma Ma¬ ter. I said once that the war would have to end — then our school spirit would start to rise. The war has ended and we are on the up grade — this has been proven at our football games and dances this semester, but now comes our danger point! In the past our spirit hit all time lows at mid¬ year. I say “Keep our Pep Com¬ mission active during the second term.” Let’s have our cheerlead¬ ers at our basketball games here and out of town. Among the Restrictive clubs is the question of when are the men coming back on campus. If and when they do, and I think it will be in the near future, I will back them to my utmost in up¬ holding their RICCY rules. In reference to the Greek am¬ phitheater that the vets think the city should build as a memorial on our campus, I know that, as_ myself, the whole student body' will be behind them 100%. The Easter Sunrise Service, first instigated by our present ASB Prexy will be a wonderful addition to our prestige. These and several other policies started by our President will be contin¬ ued if I am elected. Qualifications: AMS President, Lancer President, Lancer Vice- president, Charter member and Vice-president of X-ANM, Rep-at- large, Campus and Chronicle Photographer, Beta Phi Gamma. Betty Rutte: “The purpose of AWS is to uphold the highest ideals of true womanhood, courtesy of speech and manner, simplicity, loyalty, and honor, ah well as to develop among the girls such activities as will promote the spirit of ser¬ vice, good fellowship and democ¬ racy." I feel well qualified to ful¬ fill this purpose with the past ex¬ perience I have had in AWS work; I have worked in close co¬ operation with our outgoing pres¬ ident and am prepared to carry on her work and make the com¬ ing semester the most success¬ ful in the history of AWS. Qualifications: AWS 3rd Vice- president, Chairman of Latin Committee of the Language Council, English Council, Senior Class Council, SCA Frosh “Y” leader, Vice-president of L’Ami- tie Restrictive Club. Elisabeth Sanders: Although AWS projects in the past have been successful, they have not gone over as well as possible because all the girls on campus didn’t take part in them. So if I’m elected president of AWS, I’d like to make every girl Pasadena proved at the Junior College Conference that student government enjoys the enviable reputation of being at its best in our school. I believe that to main¬ tain that reputation we must con¬ tinually improve our student gov¬ ernment and activities. To achieve that end, I present the following platform : 1. A student seminar, replac¬ ing the out-moded Gripe Box, to express student opinion. 2. The expansion of activities, both in number and in type for old students and new, including the veterans, to promote school spirit and more and better publi¬ city for such activities. 3. Clubs and organizations should be brought back on cam¬ pus, and their organizational abil¬ ities given opportunities to con¬ tribute to school spirit and activ¬ ity. 4. The different classes, the athletic department, clubs and organizations should be brought closer to the student government for more efficient use of the stu¬ dent funds and for better organi¬ zation of school spirit. 5. We have a mature student body. Our court system and Crim¬ inal Code should be improved and dignified if they are to de¬ serve the student body’s respect. 6. Better relations and under¬ standing with other colleges through promotion of activities - such as the Junior College Con¬ ference. Your student leaders expressed their confidence in me when they asked me to run for ASB Prexy. I ask that you justify your con¬ fidence in student government through a 100% expression of your voting power. Qualifications: Former Minor Court Justice, Former Student Prosecutor, Phi Rho Pi, Student Legal Society President, Bar As¬ sociation, Ex-serviceman. at PJC feel as though she were an important part in each activ¬ ity. I’d like to make activities like the Coed Valentine Party and the Mother-Daughter Banquet better than ever. The spring season is a wonder¬ ful time to do something big, so let’s make this season an espec¬ ially good one!
