Vote On Constitutional Changes
Presidential Power In
Constitutional Change
Will Be Decided Today
Pasadena junior collegians are not voting today merely for their
student officers — they are voting on nine amendments to the constitu¬
tion of the school which will change the entire existing form of student
government if they are not defeated.
As a direct departure from the present constitution, the proposed
Polls Open
Early For
Balloting!
Presenting but one incumbent,
many new aspirants are running
for the several student body offices
in the final elections today. Polls
opened at 7:30 this morning and
the election board, headed by as¬
sociate justice Jane Hazenbush,
will supervise them throughout the
campus until 3:30.
Deisenroth
Carl Deisenroth, present chief
justice, is competing for the chair
of student body president against
Sammy Schwartz. Aside from his
judiciary experience, Deisenroth
holds forensic honors, being an Ar¬
nold Extemporaneous contest win¬
ner, member of debate squads, Phi
Rho Pi, honorary forensics frater¬
nity; Pi Delta Kappa, honorary
literary club; Alpha Sigma Gam¬
ma, college honor society; Clio and
Triple S.
Schwartz has been serving as
president of the associated men
students. His athletic achievements
include one year as quarterback of
the undefeated football varsity of
’33, a three year track letterman,
and receiving the cup as the most
valuable trackman in 1933. Also
as AMS prexy, he served as a
member of the board of represen¬
tatives. A member of the Lancers,
college service club, he has been
its vice-president. During the
Tournament of Roses parade he
received much acclaim as Alexan¬
der the Great — on which same
float, Deisenroth was also a parti¬
cipant..
Running alone for the position
of chief justice, Ray Kahn is the
present associate justice, also
chairman of the parking commis¬
sion. He was manager of avoca-
tional day and has been a mem¬
ber of his class councils.
The two finalists for associated
men students prexy brings Johnny
McDonough and Fred Isslieb. Mc¬
Donough was AMS vice-president

LIBRARY FINES-
MUST BE PAID
Students are requested to meet
all library obligations before the
beginning of examinations since no
notices can be sent during that
time. “Considering the fact that
registration for the new semester
will not be complete until all fines
are payed, it is of vital importance
to every student that he see such
obligations are cleared,” said Said
Miss Winifred Skinner, librarian.
Primaries Find
Seven Assured
Of New Posts
With the slim margin of three
votes separating Kit Cartwright
and Bill Caldwell in the race
for senior representative, Mon¬
day’s primaries found less than
one third of the school partici¬
pating in the polling.
Nine polling places were
opened at points of vantage on
the campus under the direction
of Jane Hazenbush, associate
justice. Throughout the day the
public address system sum¬
moned students to vote between
interludes of music.
Unopposed candidates were
Marjorie Betts, AWS president;
Ray Kahn, chief justice; Jack
Anderson, secretary of AM'S;
and Herbert Grammel, treasur¬
er of AMS. Candidates success¬
ful by virtue of a political ma¬
jority were Tom Sommerville,
junior representative; Bob
Campbell, vice-president of
AMS; and Ellen Lombard, first
vice-president of AWS.
