“The student body may be sure that every

Constitutional Amendments
The following constitutional amendments were
passed:
Article IV (add)
Section 4. The president shall have the power
of veto over all issues other than appointments
brought before the board of representatives.
Clause A. The board of representatives may
over-ride this veto by a vote of all but one of the
elected members.
Section 5. The president shall have power to
supervise the activities of the cabinet.
Article VIII (revision)
Section 1. The cabinet shall consist of the fol¬
lowing appointive offices: Secretary of activities,
secretary of athletics, secretary of finance, secretary
of music, secretary of oral arts secretary of organi¬
zations, secretary of publicity, secretary of public
relations, secretary of records and secretary of so¬
cial affairs.
Article IX
Section 4 (revision). Department of oral arts
shall be rsponsible for debating, oratory and drama¬
tics.
Section 5 (revision) (publications and publicity
to be combined to publicity) . The department of
publicity shall be composed of the secretary of pub¬
licity and his assistants. It shall be responsible for
all publicity appearing on the campus or in asso¬
ciated students' publications. It shall also be re¬
sponsible for all associated students’ publications.
Section 8 (add). The department of music shall
be composed of the secretary of music and his as¬
sistants. It shall be responsible for all vocal organi¬
zations, the band and orchestra.
Section 9 (add). The department or organiza¬
tions shall consist of the secretary of organizations

Article
ХШ
(add)
Section 6. Elections shall be handled by mem¬
bers of the election board.
Clause A. The chief justice shall preside over
the election board. In the event of his ineligibility
toserve on the election the board of representatives
shall name a temporary chairman.
As paralleled with the present form of the
student constitution, these changes give the presi¬
dent of the student body a voice in all issues ex¬
cept appointments, so that power of legislation
passes from the board to the president; whereas,
under the present system, he presides over meetings
of the board with a vote only in case of a tie to
complete a quorum. This addition to article 4 also
gives the president the supervision of cabinet offi¬
cers and their duties.
Articles 8 and 9 provide for the revision of the
cabinet set-up. They add the secretary of music,
secretary of organizations, while abolishing the of¬
fice of secretary of publications to combine it with
the secretary of publicity, also giving to that office
the direction of campus publicity.
Article 9 provides constitutionally for the elec¬
tion board, which has bee operating for past years
as a part of the department of the chief justice, and
with members appointed by him. The new plan,
however makes no further provision for the choice
of members of that body, and makes no definition
of the duties.

Administration
Honor Winner
Is Sophomore
John “Steve” Stevenson, 12-2,
was awarded the sole Adminis¬
tration honors of Pasadena jun¬
ior college, because of his ex¬
cellent grades since the ninth
grade. Since that time he has
atained a cumulative grade
point ratio of 2.64, and for the
past twelve weeks, the grade
point ratio of 2.89. John is a
sophomore at the junior college,
a member of Tristram, and be¬
sides his stiff program, spends
much of his outside time tutor¬
ing younger boys in mathemati¬
cal subjects. Among his ac¬
complishments,' John has the en¬
viable reputation of making an
A in Calculus.
Requisites for administration
honors which include freedom
from final tests, are a grade
point ratio of 2.75 or above
for the last three semesters and
for the first twelve weeks of
this semester.
MURPHY HEADS

of the organization. The other of¬
ficers elected for the spring semes¬
ter were Paul Cuilhe, vice-presi¬
dent; Jane Flynn, social secretary;

tary; and Bud Feldman, treasurer.

Scholars To
Unite Clubs
Important revisions in the or¬
ganization of Alpha Gamma Sig¬
ma, honorary scholarship society,
were voted by members at the club
meeting Wednesday.
Associate membership, under the
new amendments, will be extended
to lower division students and
temporary membership will be
granted now to other than junior
certificate students, providing they
meet scholarship requirements. C.
S. F. will combine with the Alpha
group making in the junior college
one honorary scholastic society.
However, C. S. F. will not be abol¬
ished, but will remain a group
within Alpha; thus lower division
students will still receive Seal
Bearer pins and privileges of the
federation.
Amendments to the state consti¬
tution of Alpha Gamma Sigma
have been proposed by the state
committee and in the meantime,
chapters have been empowered to
extend membership to other than
junior certificate students as each
group sees fit.
HOLD MEETING
Carrying out their plan of two
speakers, 65 members of the col¬
lege Y. M. C. A. met to hear Coach
Bob McNeish and Russell Cla.y,
Asilomar leader. The meeting was
preceded by an election of officers.
Table tennis, billiards, box
hockey and various other types of
entertainment were offered at the
beginning of the meeting.

By Selection
Of Qualified
Anna K. Jones, Committee
Choose 150 Men And
Women, Pals
A new idea for the selection of
pals for the incoming freshmen is
to be put into effect for the new
semester, starting in February.
The social affairs committee, un¬
der the chairmanship of Anna
Katherine Jones, secretary of so¬
cial affairs, has been having sever¬
al intensive meetings, each of
which has been devoted to the se¬
lection of people who will make
the best pals for the new students.
First, everyone in school is con¬
sidered by the committee, and one
by one all are eliminated with the
exception of 75 men and 75 women
who seem best qualified for the
job of showing new persons around
the campus and helping them in
every way possible.
“This year competent people will
be needed more than ever before
because of the upset conditions that
exist on the campus at present,”
said Miss Catherine J. Robbins,
dean of women.
A list of the names of the sel¬
ected 150 students will be an¬
nounced as soGn as it is compiled.
As usual, the pals will be intro¬
duced to the incoming proteges
preceding the vesper services on
Sunday, February 2. After the
services in the Calvary Baptist
church, pals and new students will
tour the campus and will be hon¬
ored at a tea sponsored by the
Y. W. C. A. The pals have been
asked to attend all of the fresh¬
man week activities this year with
the incoming students.
Special Meeting Reaches
No Decision On New
Problem
Men, Women
Hear Music
At Assembly
With Bert Johnson and his or¬
chestra furnishing the entertain¬
ment, the combined A. W. S.-A. M.
S. meeting was held on the bleach¬
ers Friday. Candidates who were
voted upon in Friday’s election
were introduced by Marjorie Bet¬
tanier, associated women students’
president.
Ray Kahn, newly-elected chief
justice, announced that following
the elections, the new board will
appoint the following cabinet posi¬
tions: secretary of activities, secre¬
tary of athletics, secretary of fin¬
ance, secretary of oral arts, secre¬
tary of publications, secretary of
records, secretary of social affairs,
secretary of publicity and secretary
of public relations. He urged any
students who feel that they are
qualified to fill these positions to
put in an application.
Carl Deisenroth, present chief
justice, and Sam Schwartz, who
now holds the office of president
of the associated men students,
were announced as competitors for
the office of president of the stu¬
dent body.
Marjorie Betts, solo applicant
for the A. W. S. head, and Johnny
McDonough and Fred Isslieb, who
are running for the A. M. S. presi¬
dency, were introduced next. Char¬
lotte Bakkela and Evelyn Munn,
who are on the ticket for secretary
of the A. W. S., and Elsie Brock-
seiper and Barbara Milliken, run¬
ning for the treasurer of the A.
W. S., were also presented by Miss
Bettannier.
Kit Cartwright and Bill Cald¬
well, nominees for the senior class
representative, followed by Bill
Feasley and Tom Stevens, who are
opposing each other for the office
of representative of the sophomore
class, were also introduced.
By Betty Lewis
The election of Sam Schwartz
as student body president, the
naming of the student senate, and
the passage of nine amendments
to the constitution by a three-to-
one vote were the only results of
the student body election officially
announced today by the election
board.
Consider Action
Because of a letter of protest
against actions which occurred
during the voting at the polls and
during the counting of ballots aft¬
erwards, the election board held a
special meeting late yesterday to
decide upon steps to be taken im¬
mediately. No definite plans had
been decided at the time of publi¬
cation, according to Jane Hazen¬
bush, chairman of the election
board.
Results of the votes cast for the
class representatives, and officers
of the associated men and women
students have been declared invalid
by the board.
From the bare facts given above,
there is not a true statement of
the situation. It is obvious to even
the most uninterested observer that
this letter of protest was merely
an official gesture, demonstrating
the attitude of the general student
body. What then is the true situa¬
tion ?
Three Possibilities
The election board has three pos¬
sibilities which must be examined
to arrive at the real cause of the
difficulty. During the past semes¬
ter it has been the policy of the
Chronicle to not only present facts
but to interpret them when there
is no other means of giving a true
picture of the circumstances.
The first possibility which the
board must investigate concerns
the stuffing of the ballot boxes by
students not on the election board.
This would be done only by persons
interested in certain candidates
and must of necessity force a new
election.
Secondly, the stuffing of ballot
boxes by members of the election
board which could only result in a
reorganization of the election
board and a new election. We do
not mean to imply that the entire
board would be involved but only
individual members of it.
Finally, _ in the event that the
discrepancies occurred only in the
counting of the votes by the elec¬
tion board in a closed meeting it
would become necessary for the
election returns to be recounted by
a new election board.
Perhaps this trouble could have
been avoided if the old system of
requiring students to sign for bal¬
lots had been resumed.
Contest Date
Announced
With twelve competing, Davis-
Hall oratory contest will be held on
February 11, in 2C from two to
four o’clock, according to Mrs.
Irene S. Peters, faculty head.
“Youth Faces a Changing World”
is the main theme. The contestants
are upper division students, Eu¬
genia Sanders, Lloyd Howard,
Franklin Patterson, Maxwell Bar¬
rett, Robert Dickman and Verdia
Highenbottom; lower division stu¬
dents, Winthrop Thompson, Ray¬
mond Simpson, John Clark and
Kenyon Howard.
The finals will be given March
14, at a Rotary club luncheon and
prizes will be given to both upper
and lower division winners. First
established in 1907, by J. Herbert
Hall and the late M. W. Davis, the
year 1932 marked the division ot
the contest in two parts for the
upper and lower division contest¬
ants, and winners since then have
been William Dunkerly, William
Jenkins, 1932; Louis Lagrave,
Frederick Warriner, 1933, Dow
Parkes, Katherine West, 1934; and
Carl Deisenroth and Jesse Harvey
in 1935.
