Two of the three candidates are holding student offices at the pres¬ ent time. Mary Lewis is fulfill¬ ing the duties of first vice-presi¬ dent of the organization while Dorothy Marsh is acting as second vice-president of the same group. Senior editor of the Campus for 1933-1934, president of the Rifle club, Y.W.C'.A. cabinet, formerly junior representative for the A.W.S. cabinet, senior rep to the same group, president of Alpna Gamma Sigma, head of Triple “S,” and leader of the Clio club is the list of achievements of Marian Howell while attending the junior college.

An unusual record of athletic achievements is shown by Dorothy Marsh. She is chairman of tiie committee for “promotion of spirit in the junior college” and has worked several weeks in this cap¬ acity. Her sports record reads like a list of women’s sports at the local school. Speedball, hockey, baseball, swimming, archery and basketball have all come into her sport roster. Because of the various affairs this official is responsible for, such as banquets, charity work, open houses, etc., the position is one of the most important on the elective list.

Every effort is being made by the election board to make this election satisfactory in every detail. Your part is to exercise the privilege given you to cast your ballot for the candi¬ dates who in your opinion will best fill the respective offices. The importance of this election cannot be over-estimated. In the hands of the officers elected next Wednesday and Friday will be placed the control of the stud¬ ent body fund, made up by the five dollar fee paid by each stud¬ ent.

Orchestra Will Present Concert President _ Prominent Students Try For Leadership of Jaysee Men Leadership of the associated men students for the coming semester in the forthcoming “canvas car¬ nival” will call for unusual ability due to the awkward conditions that will be present as the student body adjusts itself to new and strange circumstances.

Capable Officials Needed as School Enters Critical Phase — An Editorial — Pasadena junior collegians will go to the polls Wednesday real¬ izing that student government will face increased problems and added responsibilities during the coming semester. With the transfer of a large portion of regular classes into tents, the need for able of¬ ficers of proven ability becomes paramount. The very principle of student government la offered an unequal opportunity to prove its worth in this crisis. It is the obligation of every student to elect the candidates who will fulfill the duties of office most capably and most efficiently. Any student who allows personalities to influence his better judgment may be injuring the future of student government. For a candidate to conduct or sanc¬ tion a campaign of personalities, depending upon destructive crit¬ icism rather than constructive proof of his own ability, is inimical to the best interests of Pasadena junior college. Seniors will choose between four candidates for the presidency of the 14th-year class at elections this week. It will be a case of : Wold, active member of choosing a new leader for a cer- j and a Spartan, tainty, inasmuch as the incumbent, Bob Simpson, is not competing for this office.

For two years he was on the upper basketball team. production. “Sweethearts” may be remem¬ bered as a Broadway success written by Victor Heribert, one of America’s most outstanding modern artists. It is a mjusical comedy concerning the story of the Princess Jeanne, daughter of the King of Naples, during the fifteenth century. The time changes to the mod¬ em day, and the infant princess has been taken to safety during war to the ancient city of Bruges. Elimination of Candidates in Primary to Leave Two In Race Five men students aspire to the hiehest office of the junior college, the presidency of the student body, in the primary election to be held Wednesday, and from these five will come the two candidates who will vie for student body president in the finals Friday. Three of the candidates are of¬ fice holders at the present time. The other two are active in organi¬ zation affairs on the campus, and can be classed the “dark horses” in the presidential race. As a re¬ sult, it is almost certain that the election for this post will be a close one, the current opinion be- rng that no candidate will receive an outright majority in the pri¬ maries, and that the finals will be marked by a close contest. Vincent Fite is aiming at the presidency after an outstanding term of service in which he has served as president of the associ¬ ated men students, his present po¬ sition; secretary of athletics, and member of the freshman, sopho¬ more, junior and senior class coun¬ cils. He is a Lancer and a member of Mast and Dagger, highest honor¬ ary organization of the junior col¬ lege, and has played on the upper and lower division baseball teams. Alfred Ludlow, a senior candi¬ date for the presidency, came to Pasadena junior college from Oak¬ dale (Calif.) high school, where he served as president of his class during his junior and senior years. At Pasadena he has been a mem¬ ber of the junior council and ha* taken an active part in civic af¬ fairs. Robert Simpson aspires to the presidency from the vice-presi¬ dency of the student body, which position he now holds by virtue of his being president of the senior class. Previous to his succession to the leadership of the 14th year class he served as secretary of the class and as senior member of the social affairs committee. A Lancer, he attended Washington junior high and Muir Tech, where he held student body offices, and also at University of British Columbia, Canada, where he took his fresh¬ man year. Lambert Westling, present presi¬ dent of the student body, is again running for the post which he now holds. Westling has been active in many types of junior college work and previous to his selection a* president served as chief of the A. M. S. and secretary of athletics. He was captain of the lower divi¬ sion football team in 1931, won the Kiwanis award for all-around char¬ acter in 1932, and is a member of Mast and Dagger. He supervised the work in connection with the junior college Rose parade grand¬ stand. Frank Wilby, a senior student, completes the list of candidates for president of the associated stu¬ dents. He is a member of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet at the present time and has been active in the Short Wave club. Crowd Sees Yule Drama Thousands Turned Away From Production of Play ‘Gloria' Heralded as the most spectacu¬ lar production in the city during the Christmas season, the Pasadena junior college musical triumph “Gloria,” a choral drama, was pre¬ sented at the Civic auditorium De¬ cember 15. The doors closing fifteen minutes after they were opened, two thousand people were turned away. A large cast consisting of the four glee clubs, the A capella choir, and seven prominent dramatic students, under the supervision of iss Katherine Kester, dramatic instructor, took part in the produc¬ tion. Miss Kester wrote the dramatic parts, which had to do with the ever-favored theme — the coining of Christ. Miss Lula C. Parmley was responsible for the musical ar¬ rangements. Unusual scenery and lighting of fects contributed greatly in mak¬ ing "Gloria” such a magnificent and spectacular success, as did the beautiful costuming. The Pasadena junior college or¬ chestra, under the direction of Mil- ton S. ohs, furnished music before and after the production.
