'Blackout Carnival' Court Chosen
Queen To Be Picked From Five;
Boxing Champion Defaulted
Although pugilist Howard Miller was such an attraction to the male population of
the JC campus that he got the most votes and' paced all the female contestants in the
race for OMD court, members nixed the rugged, curly-haired Golden Gloves champion and
tabbed Janice Bidwell, Eunice Alder, Betty Heatherington, Katie Thomas, and Marilyn
- Phillips, who will reign over
the 16th annual carnival. OMD
officials, assuming that the Mil¬
ler nomination was a gag, went
ahead with choice of the court,
one of whom will be elected
Queen of the 1942 Blackout Car¬
nival.
Plans for the event were

Robert Hope in a somewhat comical radio program.
shoved into high gear by the
entire student body as restric¬
tive and non-restrictive clubs an¬
nounced their intention of par¬
ticipating in the ticket selling
contest, first prize netting the
winning group $5.00, second,
three dollars, third, two dollars.
Consequently club members
planned to use every influence
to swing the financial spotlight
to their bank account.
The Princesses were chosen
as a result of a campus election
held last week in which stu¬
dents dropped the name of the
“Queen of Their Heart” in the
election boxes, with the tabula¬
tions checked and okehed by
OMD members.
Biggest news coming was
the announcement of the
Queen, whose position in cam¬
pus importance has always
anked close to the Rose Queen
of New Year’s Day. She will
be revealed in all her glory
the night of the Blackout Car¬
nival.
Vote Decides
Track Issue
By a deciding vote of 6 to 2,
the PJC Student Board passed
a negative motion yesterday
morning, refusing additional
money for track. Already out of
the boards hands was the Bull-
pup football question, spring
practice being ascertained for
freshmen through efforts of
Coach Dunn and Vinnie Heu-
blein.
Seventy dollars of the neces¬
sary $140 needed to carry out
practice scheduled was alloted
by Dunn, the deficit to be sup¬
plied by class of ’45 members
and possibly ’46.

George Emils’ Class Answers Call — Brings Over Ton of Paper
Paper Or A Penny
Defense Council Is All-Out
Renames Self War Council
To conform with a recent ruling, the PJC Defense Council has
been renamed PJC War Council, in order to coincide with names
of the Superintendent’s Council and the Junior High Schools. One
of the many activities of the PJC Defense Council has been the
promotion of the “Paper or Penny Drive,” now being carried out
by the associated air raid wardens.
With 4,177 East Campus students and 1,608 West Campus
students bringing at least one paper or its equivalent to their
8:00 or 9:00 classes every day, $215 could be turned over to the
China Relief Association, beneficiary of the drive, by the
middle of June. That amount would feed eleven Chinese chil¬
dren for one year who would otherwise have no food.
To increase participation, a contest between boys and girls has
been inaugurated, progress is recorded daily upon a large “baro¬
meter” outside the Student Union. Voluntary pledge cards were
signed by many students promising to bring a paper or a penny
every day.
Dan Meub, chief air-raid warden, heads the drive; Bill
Knauss was named chairman of the paper collection, his com¬
mittee- consisting of Dell Hungerford, Bob Frame, and Norman
Turk. Ten o’clock class wardens will take the paper to the
depository, while other wardens will assist in gathering and '
tying the bundles.
“Mr. Pim Passes By,” Delta Psi Omega’s annual spring pro¬
duction will be presented this evening in the John A. Sexson audi¬
torium at 8:15. Lindsay Workman plays the title role, Eleanor
Prosser and Cloyde Howard sharing honors in the two other leads.
Others in the cast are Tom Baxter, Marian Sprott, Rachel Reid,
and Pat Reid.
Mr. Pim, a passer by, walks into the Mardon residence one
morning, and, through his deviating actions and conversation, he
restored to life the dead husband of a happily-remarried woman.
The effect that this has on the rest of the cast twist the plot into
a series of anti-climaxes and some very amusing situations.
Miss Elizabeth E. Keppie, faculty adviser and director has
much theatrical experience to her credit. While at PJC, she
has organized the Players’ Guild and Delta Psi Omega, dra¬
matic organizations. Miss Keppie has written several books on
choral verse speaking and other speech subjects.
Students will be admitted free with the exchange of their No.
18 card at the Argonaut booth or Student Union (E) or Student
Store Cashier Window (W). General public is charged 35 cents.
