tions ever held here. Rudy Ander¬
sen was elected senior representa¬
tive, Bob Wegge A. M. S. presi¬
dent, Marian Howell A. W. S. presi¬
dent, and Worden Nollar sophomore

The new 14th-year class head

post of the secretary of finance.
Coincident with the star’s ap¬

To the Members of the Student
Body:
February 2 will usher out the
first semester and end the terms
of many of your officers.
Many problems have faced the
student body during the past sem¬
ester, one of which was our in¬
ability to use the auditorium, but
through all, the student body has
shown a splendid spirit of co-op¬
eration and good-will
As your retiring president, I
wish to thank you all for your
friendly co-operation, and to you
who expressed your confidence in
me by your vote, I am deeply
grateful.
Bob Simpson, our new presi¬
dent, deserves our whole-hearted
support during the coming sem¬
ester. Congratulations, Bob, and
the best of luck.

Incumbent
Senior Head Vanquishes
Lambert Westling
By 14 Votes
Robert N. Simpson was elected
president of the student body of
Pasadena junior college for the
spring semester last Friday, when
by a bare margin of 14 votes he
defeated the incumbent president,
Lambert Westling. The total vote
count was: Simpson, 820; Westling,
By his victory Simpson will be¬
come the 11th student president
under the four-year junior college
system. He is retiring president of
the senior class. In winning, Simp¬
son followed a tradition which has
limited the term of office of every
president but one to a single term.
Eric Strutt, president in 1929-1930,
was the only man to hold the posi¬
tion two semesters.
Simpson’s victory was the cul¬
mination of a lengthy career at
Pasadena junior college in which
the new chief officer of the stu¬
dent body has served as secre¬
tary of the senior class, member
of the social affairs committee,
and as a Lancer.
He is a Pasadena student “born
and bred,” having attended Muir
Tech and Washington junior high,
where he held student body offices.
For one year he was a student at
the University of British Columbia,
serving as freshman vice-president
there.
The result of the presidential
race was almost a complete sur¬
prise, inasmuch as Simpson had
run second in the primaries held
Wednesday. In this balloting he
was 85 votes behind Westling, to¬
taling 443 to Westling’s 528. Vin¬
cent Fite ran third and Frank
Wilby fourth.
Balloting in the election was
marked by a greater interest and
a larger number of votes cast
Friday than in the Wednesday
primaries. More than 40 per cent
of the student body was on the
polling lists Friday, whereas
about 38 percent was the total
Wednesday. Apparently the presi¬
dential race between the incum¬
bent executive and the president
of the senior class was an at¬
traction, for many new names
were registered at every polling
place.
Westling goes out of office with
an excellent record. He has been
president of the A. M. S., secretary
of athletics, captain of the lower
division football team, and is a
member of Mast and Dagger and
an honorary Lancer. Last week he
presided over the convention of
student body presidents of South¬
ern California junior colleges.
Election
SIDELIGHTS
Last Social
Tea Is Heidi
Real reasons behind the recent
milkers’ and garment workers’
strikes in Southern California, were
told Economics group members, by
Mrs. P. D. Noel, prominent eco¬
nomic observer, at the group's
meeting last Wednesday.
Terminating a series of open
house teas, the associated women
students attended their last affair,
given in honor of the nursing stu¬
dents, with a special invitation to
the princesses of the 1934 Tourna¬
ment of Roses.
Departing from the custom set
by the preceding affairs which were
held in the office of Miss Catherine
Robbins, dean of women, this tea
was given in the social hall, last
Monday, from 2:30 to 4:15.
Caryl Moon was in charge of the
tea, with Miss Robbins and Loretta
Melton, president, as hostesses.
“We hope we have set a tradi¬
tion,” said Loretta, “which will be
carried on throughout the coming
semester, as this has proved to be
a success in getting the women stu¬
dents acquainted.”
Activity was the key-note at all
polling places in Friday’s final
election for student body officers.
With a larger number of students
voting in the finals than in the pri¬
maries, members of the election
board who conducted the polls were
busy from morning to evening.
Margaret Johnson, secretary of
publications, who took charge of
the election because Paul Jones’
candidacy made him temporarily
ineligible, was busier than the
axiomatic one-armed man with
the hives. Throughout the day
Margaret was fluttering back
and forth between the election
booths, keeping a weather eye
on the conduct of the polls and
otherwise carrying out the duties
of a big job.
For most of the election work¬
ers, serving as voting officials was
a new experience, but in the gen¬
eral the duties were carried well.
It was a victory for the newly-in¬
stituted election board, in that the
establishment of such a body was
shown to be a worthy move.
ENGINEERS ADDRESSED
Aspiring engineers and their fa¬
thers were addressed by Dr. John
P. Bulwalda, professor of geology
at Caltech and earthquake expert,
on “Earthquakes,” at the annual
Engineering club banquet held last
Wednesday at the Alpine Chalet.
