Bob Graff Elected ASB President
Landslides Registered as 35
Per Cent Vote— Harbison Wins
Runoff Today Between Jessen, Joyce For Soph Prexy;
Appointive Cards Due Monday For Reshuffled Cabinet
Thirty-five percent of the student body stopped long enough at Marylin Phillips’ scattered
polls last Friday to express their disapproval of a woman ASB president, regardless of mili¬
tary extenuations. Bob Graff, west campus politico, overpowered the feminine bloc with a bare
69 majority over Betty Jean Schneider, substitute for drafted Bob Perkins. Graff faces mili¬
tary call, stayed temporarily due to his enlisted reserve status. Should the reserves be called
out during his term, the Board of Representatives have one of three alternatives. Allow vice-
president Bob Harbison, or Associate Nicky Curren to accept the gavel, appoint runner-up
_ _ _ _ _ Schneider to the vacancy, or call
another election.

Had Betty Jean won, she would
have been the second woman stu¬
dent body president, the first in
seven years. Her application was
filed upon the withdrawing or
contender Bob Perkins, now in
the service. At that time it was
believed that Graff also would be
off for the wars. Latest returns
on the enlisted reserve status
gives him a month or so more in
school.
Both Graff and Harbison al¬
ready are building up a student
government machine to carry
PJC through the coming se¬
mester. Cabinet posts are ap¬
pointive; gained through appli¬
cation to Margie Evans’ civil
service commission, recom¬
mended, and then approved by
the Board of Representatives.
Application cards, available in
the Dean of Records’ office, are
due Monday afternoon.
Only the presidential race was
close, landslides in all other con¬
tests. Below, the Chron prints the
results as released by Election
Commissioner Marylin Philips.

Would-BeNursesAccepted
By Huntington Hospital
Forty preliminary nursing students were accepted by the Hunt¬
ington Memorial Hospital last Thursday. These students, many of
them graduates of PJC, have been on probation for a four months
period. The capping ceremony signified their acceptance as students
of nursing at the Huntington Hospital, which is affiliated with PJC.
Dr. J. W. Harbeson, principal of Pasadena Junior College,
presented Lieutenant S. J. English, U. S. N., Chief Nurse at the
Corona Naval Hospital, at Corona, Calif. Lieutenant English has
been in Navy service for almost twenty years, and has seen serv¬
ice in Guam, Samoa, Virgin Islands, Honolula and the Philippines.
She described the work of a Navy Nurse as being primarily in¬
struction of “corpmen” of the Navy. The “corpsmen” do the work
of a nurse or doctor when neither is available. This’ is often the
case as nurses are assigned only to Hospital Ships, and to various
base hospitals, doctors are available only for the larger ships.
Lieutenant English went on to tell of the desperate need and un¬
limited opportunities for nurses in the present war situation,
Navy particularly.
Lillian Vosloh, R. N., instructor, presented the class to D. D.
Sledge, R. N., Director of the School of Nursing, and instructors
Jessie Schlater, and Jeanette Oswald, assisted by the “Big Sisters”
helped the students to pin on their caps — the seal of acceptance.
The solemn and impressive capping ceremony was high-lighted
by a candle-lighting service, and the taking of the Florence Night¬
engale pledge, a tribute to the years of service ahead of them.
Service Men
To Continue
PJC Courses
In reply to many letters from
men in the service, the office of
Dean of Men has been gathering
information in regard to corre¬
spondence courses available to
those who wish to continue their
education. These courses are
available to all men in any branch
of service through their own edu¬
cational representatives in Wash¬
ington offices. Those who are in¬
terested should ask their com¬
manding officer in regard to
which courses to take. ,
These courses were designed
especially for those men in the
lonely outposts from Australia to
Alaska to help occupy their time
between bombing raids and fight¬
er partols. PJC will give full
credit for these courses to serv¬
ice men wishing to continue their
education after the present emer¬
gency.

New Prexy 's Message:
Robert G. Graff, recently elected ASB President, is maioring
in Vovational Psychology and Business Administration, at the
West Campus School of Business. In his second semester at PJC,
Bob was elected Associate Student Body President, followed by
his recent honor. A member of the Enlisted Reserve Corps, Bob is
a graduate of the South Pasadena High School, where upon
leaving that school, was bestowed the highest honor which the
school presents to six outstanding Seniors, the Weldon Fair Play
Leadership Award.
In times like these, participation in student activities and
student government may seem of little importance. But, it
must be remembered that the knowledge and actual experi¬
ence gained in this work leads to a greater knowledge of
our democratic system of government. We, as students, are
offered a means of preparing ourselves not only for future
use but also for present aid in the community war effort.
"We junior college men and women are the ones who
will be called upon in five, ten, or twenty years to be the
leaders of this country. Many of our fellow students will be¬
come business leaders in various fields; some of them ex¬
perts in domestic and foreign politics. It will be left to the
countries now fighting for our manner of government to lead
the way for those who have been oppressed — oppressed so
long that they find it hard to understand the ways of a
democratic country. The United States, especially, will be
asked to render its facilities as a leader in education and
production.
"During the coming semester, the student body as a
whole and as individuals will be asked to help in various
war and community projects that have a direct bearing on
the outcome of this war. This will be our chance to show
what we, individually and collectively, can do.
"Though we shall lose students to the services, we shall
also gain the knowledge that each year, each month, each
week spent here has aided them in becoming better equip¬
ped to fight for our country. Everything we leam and accu¬
mulate will be valuable to us in service. Through that know¬
ledge we can do a better job of helping to bring about a
rapid and decisive victory."
BOB R. GRAFF.
