Color Feature
Of Vo-Mag
Thursday Release Brings
Prints Of Orient
Disclosing a complete surprise,
Editor Jean Backus announced
last night that the forthcoming is¬
sue of Vo-Mag, to be released to¬
morrow, will carry, among other
features, a full color Japanese
print.
This is the second time that
Pasadena’s vocational magazine
has included a colored picture in
its contents. Although this feature
caused the staff considerable time
and effort to publish, the editor
says the results were well worth
the labor spent. “Having won the
All-American award twice, and
having received a rating of ‘abso¬
lutely perfect’ for the last issue,
we of the staff are determined to
keep this standard of All-Ameri¬
canism in our future endeavors,”
continued Miss Backus.
The Japanese print is especially
appropriate since the incorporated
themes for the coming number are
Terminal Courses and the Orient.
Included in the publication are im¬
portant discussions by two promi¬
nent Stanford professors: Dr.
Reginald Bell on the “Problems of
the Second Generation of Japan,”
and Dr. Yamato Ichihashi on “Cul¬
ture of the Japanese Orient.” Pic¬
tures taken during her travels in
the Orient have also been contri¬
buted by Mrs. Ruth Nagle Chase
of the art department.

gram is included an exhibition box¬
ing match between well known and
successfull J. C. boxers. This has

HONOR PATRICK
The chief justice’s plea at the
Friday assembly for a more gen¬
eral participation in the coming
student elections, taken as a
whole, was one of the finer, more
constructive things that has hap¬
pened to the school in recent
years, and his cry for more inde¬
pendents to throw their hats into
the campus political ring was like¬
wise well-considered. But in the
same breath it should be recog¬
nized that several of his assertions
should be taken with a grain of
salt.
The claim that club members
control the student government for
the direct benefits of their respec¬
tive organizations is much more
flagrant than it apparently seems
to some. It is very true that over
75 percent of student body offices
are held by restrictive club mem¬
bers. That because of this, their
organizations have directly or in¬
directly controlled the destinies of
the student body and have been

Fifteen Eligibility Cards Turned
In As Election Deadline Nears
With the final deadline for eligi¬
bility cards definitely established
for Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock,
more than fifteen cards had been
turned in to the office of the chief
justice yesterday noon for the
coming general student body elec¬
tions to be held May 31 and
June 5.
Fiery political activity of the
campus during the past two weeks,
incited by the plea of Chief Jus¬
tice Trevor Gardner for the estab¬
lishment of an “independent” tick¬
et for the election, points to the
most heated and interesting vote
in recent years.
Plans for the election were
drawn up last Tuesday at a meet¬
ing of the election board, which
was recently re-appointed. Caryl
Moon was appointed in charge of
all publicity for both the prelimi¬
nary and final elections.
Contrary to the custom in previ¬
ous years, the election of minor
officers of the AMS will be held
in conjunction with the regular
election, according to Associate
Justice Jack Keenan.
