Speaking for the AWS
In spite of the war, AWS hopes
to carry on with the policies set
down by former boards and to
plan new activities for the pro¬
motion of better relationships
among women students. Heading
the program will be the annual
coed party,' the Mother and
Daughter Banquet, the Back¬
wards Dance, and the usual wel¬
fare work. We’re looking forward
to the enthusiasm and coopera¬
tion, always shown in the past by
women students, in order to make
this year an example of what a
growing coed-college can do in
wartime.

Veda Collects "Club of
Month" Laurels Again
One of the outstanding “war
effort” programs on campus is
the Club-of-the-Month Contest.
Each month the women’s restric¬
tive clubs vie for the honor of
being the club contributing the
most for the war effort. Veda has
won the title twice, in December
and November.
Most of the work comes under
the Red Cross and points are
given the girls for staff assistant
work, making surgical dressings,
office work, knitting, giving blood
to the blood bank, and working
in local stores. The latter is con¬
sidered a part of the program
which will instigate a speedy vic¬
tory by releasing an adult for a
war job.
Veda is made up of sixteen
members at present, who were
equally active in helping the club
win the Club-of-the-Month title.
They include: Lorraine Wiley,
Nancy King, Patty Jack, Joan
Commerford, Dorothy Wylie, Eli¬
nor Lundquist, Pat Sullivan, Bet¬
ty Jo Williams, Aurora Talby,
Betty Rose, Barbara Tepper, Lu¬
cille Coviello, Betty Flannery,
Louise Calloway, Jackie Curren,
and Nicky Curren.

War Chest Pledges Disgrace
Scholars/ Payments Fall Short
Last November, soon after the third war loan drive had
been brought to a successful finish, another drive of equal
importance, the United Nations War Chest, was started.
Realizing that at this time the average American pocketbook
was at a low ebb due to generous loaning, students were not
asked to give at this time, unless they wished to do so, but
to merely fill out and sign pledges signifying the amount
that they would eventually con-
Nutt, Lusk Elected AWS, AMS Heads;
Senior, Soph Prexies To Be Chosen Today
By SHALEB HANISCH
The race for the presidency of the Associated Student Body took an unexpected turn
when a last minute dark horse candidate, Joe Harbison, polled the second largest total of votes
in last Friday’s primary elections. Bill Sanborn completely smothered his on-ballot opponent,
Wayne Untereiner, by a vote of 458 - 156, but Harbison and his loyal band of followers forced
the issue into the finals today with a 355 vote total. Sanborn was 7 ballots shy of the required
majority and is favored to take many of Untereiner’ s votes. Elected were Don Lusk, AMS
President; Marjorie Nutt, AWS
President; Betty Lund, AWS 1st
Vice-President; Julianne Burt,
2nd AWS Vice-President; Jackie
Curren, Tom lams, Patti Jack,
and Nancy Young, Representa¬
tives - at - Large ; and Glendore
Cline, Junior Class President.
Offices to be clinched in today’s
run-off elections include: ASB
President, Bill Sanborn vs. Joe
Harbison; ASB Vice-President,
Loren Barre and Betty Stegner;
Senior Class President, Blanche
Marshall and Barbara Turner;
Sophomore Class President, Doro¬
thy Ailing against Elene Pappan.
None of these candidates held the
required majority last Friday.
Campaigning became hot and
furious with a so-called, “torch¬
light parade” on behalf of Har¬
bison election morning. Other
candidates relied chiefly on
moral support lent by campaign
posters, while ASB Prexy can¬
didate Wayne Untereiner, with
his hopes hanging on the influ¬
ential Sophomore vote, utilized
the class publication “Soph
Soap” as a means of gaining a
publicity edge.
The eligibility of Harbison was
established early this week, when
after a careful examination of the
Constitution it was revealed that
no provision has been made for
the date by which eligibility cards
of last minute write-ins must be
submitted.
The Senior Class received the
$25 reward for having the best
voting representation, while gen¬
eral interest was at a consider¬
ably higher pitch than during
other elections in the past.

The drive here in school was
well-publicized. There were sev¬
eral assemblies for the purpose
of handing out and collecting
these pledge slips and enthusi¬
astic students pledged a grand
total of $7,851.55. But promis-
' ing is not giving, and from last
November to January 6, only
$2,273.23 has been collected.
At the time the pledges were
filled out it was explained that if
the person pledging found it im¬
possible to live up to his or her
pledge it would not be compul¬
sory to complete the payment of
the full amount of the pledge.
On the other hand it was assumed
that with so many students
working at high wages in various
defense plants most of the
pledges would be quickly fulfilled.
Figures show that the PJC chap¬
ter of the War Chest has fallen
$5,578.32 short of its original
pledge. $5,578.32 short of fulfilling
a bound obligation.
It is impossible to stress too
fully the wonderful work that
War Chest has accomplished
both at home and abroad. Work
that cannot be continued unless
individuals take it upon them¬
selves to aid in what ever way
possible. Students that' have not
yet completed payment of their
pledges are urged to do so im¬
mediately. Payments can be
made at the student bank.

headline acts. Bill Sanborn, poor-
man’s Orson Welles, has arranged

. . . plots AMS future
Speaking for the AMS
Although there is a serious
man-power shortage because of
the war, this year’s AMS sched¬
ule will be crowded with a host
of interesting activities ranging
from stags to AMS sponsored as¬
semblies.
One of our biggest projects will
be the continuance of the Frosh
“Y” clubs which will organize
the Frosh men of an unusually
large Freshman class.
We are looking forward to a
semester in which much of the
old AMS “esprit de corps” will be
brought to the front.

Frosh Ys' Discuss
Basketball, Membership
Student leaders and officials of
the Frosh “Y” program met
Tuesday evening for dinner at
the YMCA and later meetings
with the four Frosh “Y” clubs.
Plans were laid for a round-robin
basketball tournament starting
play on Friday evening, January
28, at the Y.
Chuck Mitchell was chosen
as chairman of the active club
members and Tom Iiams as
secretary. Mitchell’s first prob¬
lem will be a membership drive
next semester for recruits from
the ranks of the incoming fresh¬
men.
Court System Holds
Free-For-All
Wednesday’s minor court ses¬
sion turned into a free for all but
democratic discussion on the rel¬
ative merits of student body gov¬
ernment and constitutionality.
The majority of those present in
the court room, arose to accuse
the court system, represented in
the person of minor court jus¬
tice, Rosemary Soghomonian, of
graft. Rosemary, lone defender of
JC’s court system responded to
complex questions as aptly as any
experienced judge could do.
