Joe Harbison And Bill Sanborn Run Off ASB Finals JOE HARBISON . . write-in finalist MARGIE NUTT . . . new AWS prexy 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. MARJORIE NUTT. 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. Vol. 35 Pasadena Junior College, January 14, 1944 No. 13 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. Appointive Offices Deadline on Monday Appointive office deadline has been extended until Monday, Jan¬ uary 17, it was announced offi¬ cially early this week. Applica¬ tions may be made by securing and having the teachers ill out grade cards from the Dean of Records office, to be eligible, must average to a “C.” Offices on the block include: Secretary of Activities, Secretary of Men’s Athletics, Secretary of Women’s Athletics, Secretary of Finance, Secretary of Music, Sec¬ retary of Notifications, Secretary of Oral Arts, Secretary of Or¬ ganizations, Secretary of Records, Secretary of Social Affairs, and Chronicle Editor. Verne Orr Lectures At Convocation Today G. Verne Orr, Vice-President of Chrysler Motors of South¬ ern California, will speak at this morning’s compulsory con¬ vocation on the topic “Assem¬ bly Lines to Victory.” Orr, a personal friend of Dr. John Harbeson, will tell mainly how industry has contributed to the battle of production and the turnover of the the automo¬ bile industry to meet vital war needs. Eight o’clock classes will terminate at 8:55, convocation slips to be handed out after the compulsory assembly. Sanborn's Brain Child In Dress Rehearsals Crafty Hall’s gravel throated prompters and corn-fed comme- dians will sail through last min¬ ute dress rehearsals next week, anticipate capacity crowd of gag- thirsty students. Newest act in the crowded pro¬ gram features Esie Andrews and J. P. Davis at twin pianos, is Crafty’s version of “Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street.” In addition, the show, a fast- moving mixture of comedy and popular music, contains ten other headline acts. Bill Sanborn, poor- man’s Orson Welles, has arranged for both a pre-show, styled after an old Broadway olio act, and a second section, featuring today’s “boogie music.” For the first time in Crafty Hall history, this year’s show will be presented as the semi- yearly OMD assembly. Promised for Friday, January 28, San¬ born’s problem child is sched¬ uled for a full hour and a half. Following, will come OMD’s traditional tapping ceremony selecting JC’s outstanding stu¬ dents. Mary Lee Gilloon, Mar¬ gie Evans, Ruth Champlain, Nicky Curren, Jeanne DeGar- mo, Margaret Theiss and Jackie Berry will officiate. Crafty’s large cast contains some of the most talented mem¬ bers of the student body with Bill Sanborn as director. Lee Kikorian’s band featured with an¬ nouncing handled by Dick Tufeld. BILL SANBORN . . led in primaries DON LUSK . . . 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. DON LUSK. 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.
