/7Dark Horse77 Is
AMS Write-in
Most interesting surprise de¬
velopment of the election cam¬
paign was the disclosure of an
organized write-in campaign to
fill the AMS Presidency.
The Better Student Govern¬
ment Committee, which has ex¬
pressed its disfavor of candi¬
dates running unopposed for stu¬
dent body offices, is sponsoring
a movement to write in Bob
Burns as AMS President. Burns
will then oppose Bob Mardian,
who would otherwise be the only
AMS candidate from West Cam¬
pus.
Course Inaugurated
In Economic History
By Dr. McClintic
Students interested in econom¬
ics will want to know about the
new course in Economic History
which Dr. Joseph McClintic, So¬
cial Science instructor, will be
teaching next semester.
Purpose of the course is to
trace modern economic develop¬
ment — showing how a trial and
error method of experience, both
in this country and abroad,
should contribute to the forma¬
tion of sound governmental and
economic policies for our nation
today. National and world ex¬
periences of recent years will,
of course, contribute much to the
development and evaluation of
such policies. Nearly every cur¬
rent problem of economics, gov¬
ernment, and international rela¬
tions will be touched upon.
Various threads of develop¬
ment which will be considered
include:
2. Labor — its history, present
status, and problems.
b. The modern machine and
industrial civilization — i t s de¬
velopment and problems.
c. Imperialism.
d. Tariffs, taxation and public
finance.
e. Trade, internal and interna¬
tional.
f. The growing influence of
Government.
g. Trusts and monopolies.
The course carries Junior cer¬
tificate standing, three units
recommended status and comes
three times a week.

stage of the Sexson Auditorium
on the East Campus at 12
o’clock. Schuhart’s East Campus
show will start at 11 o’clock and
move to the West Campus at 12
o’clock.
In an attempt to foster school
competitive spirit and add to the
total voting percentage, Burke is
presenting as his Master of Cere¬
monies, Dick McMoyler, pro¬
ducer, author, and director of
this year’s far-famed Crafty
Hall. McMoyler will introduce
such campus celebrities as the
Eleven Brigadiers, Rose Princess
Ellen Harmon, vocalist, Tom
Lockhard, baritone, and Bob
Fisher, noted magician.
Barclay Hodgkin, producer of
Thuel Schuhart’s variety, is bas¬
ing his show theme on “Modern
American Music” that otherwise
might be termed (in the lan¬
guage of the people) a “jam ses¬
sion.”
Milton Banta, famous campus
“boogie-woogie” stylist will per¬
form, as will Lois Bonthius,
pianist. Also from the Bulldog
band will come such performers
as Jack Tindula and his magic
xylophone, and Ray Contino, ac-
cordianist.
In producing these shows, both
candidates are striving for more
school interest in voting, and in
electoral opposition.

Wow!
French Film
Sldnnay Ennis — Jerry Col-
onna — and show — three semes¬
ters of major experience in stu¬
dent body activities — if you
want such assemblies and qn
experienced officer for Stu¬
dent Body President. I hope
you as individual steudents
will elect me — I gave you that
assembly and I can provide
comparable assemblies in the
future.
I do not believe in taking
any half-way measures. My
government philosophy is not
new, but practical. I believe
the chief executive should have
first hand knowledge of the
workings of every department
of the government. With this
in mind, upon entering stu¬
dent politics I gained experi¬
ence in each field of student
government — legislative (board
member), judicial (Chief Jus¬
tice), and executive (Cadet
Captain of ROTC).
To represent the student
body in the business and so¬
cial world a person with busi¬
ness experience an dcontacts
can present the needs of the
school and obtain more effec¬
tive results than a person of
unproven experience.
In political practice, the
student with ability, dynamic
spirit, desiring to get into stu¬
dent government, will be as¬
sured of a job if I am elected.
However, having made no
election promises before elec¬
tion, I will have no obliga¬
tions to fulfill if I am elected
other than the all-important
job as student body executive.
Signed
Thuel V. Schuhart.
ASB Office
“On Friday, January 10, you.
the students of the Pasadena
Junior College, will go to the
polls to cast your vote for the
persons you desire to head
your government next semes¬
ter. Before asking for your
support and confidence in me
by placing my name on the bal¬
lot as a candidate for student
body president, I seriously con¬
sider the qualifications and du¬
ties which that office requires
and my ability to fulfill them
successfully.
I believe that to be a suc¬
cessful representative of the
student body, the president
must be a capable manager,
able to govern his cabinet and
act as mediator when the oc¬
casion arises; he should ob¬
viously be free from all politi¬
cal entanglements so as to be
fair and just at all times. In
the course of his term he will
be expected to represent the
student body at many outside
affairs and in many capacities.
This he must do in a manner
that will reflect honor and
bring credit to his school.
After careful consideration
of my experiences in school ac¬
tivities as well as in the busi¬
ness world I sincerely feel that
I have the above qualifications.
Therefore, in all honesty and
without reservations I ask for
your support in the coming
election.
In closing let me remind you
once more of the great privi¬
lege that is yours. As potential
voting citizens of our great
democracy you should be proud
of your right to vote.
Signed,
William Edward Burke.

Here Monday
Maurice Chevalier returns to
the screen in a gay new satirical
comedy “Avec le Sourire” (With
a Smile), a French film with
English subtitles, to be present¬
ed at the Pasadena Junior Col¬
lege, Monday, January 13.
Chevalier is at his debonair
best as the charming rogue
whose smile lifts him from the
post of doorman of a vaudeville
theater to opera impresario in a
manner befitting an amusing
French farce. Marie Glory, a
С о
m e d i e Francaise star, is
charming in her role as Gisele
who later becomes the wife of
the hero.
The picture is the second of a
series of foreign motion pictures
sponsored by the Pasadena Ju¬
nior College Foreign Language
Department of which Miss Kath¬
leen D. Loly is chairman.
Students and the general pub¬
lic are invited to the two presen¬
tations at the John A. Sexson
Auditorium of the East Campus.
The matinee will begin at 3:30
p. m., and the evening showing
will be at 8 p. m. A short travel
picture will precede the feature
film. Tickets at a nominal price
may be purchased at the door.
Limit Publicity
The candidates for next semester’s student body offices
met as scheduled on December 17, discussed the amount of
publicity to be permitted before the coming election, finally
decided that each candidate may have a picture of himself
and a list of his qualifications put on a giant poster that will
be displayed in the main hall of the East Campus. Other post¬
ers will also be allowed. The number of posters and their cost
will be definitely limited.
Candidates for higher offices,
as Student Body President, will
be allowed more publicity than
will those seeking the lower , of¬
fices. Candidates for each office
should decide among themselves
the limit of the number of post¬
ers to be put up, and the limit of
total cost for the posters.
Main object of the meeting was
to equalize candidates’ chances
for office, regardless of personal
financial circumstances and in¬
fluence.
