Pasadena Chronicle, May 22, 1935

(fljicmidc Vol. XXVI Pasadena, California, May 22, 1935 No. 29 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. Clark Speaks At Final AMS Stag Concluding the Associated Men Students’ program for the year, the association is holding the last of the ever-popular stag meetings tonight in the men’s gymnasium starting at 7:15 p. m.

Besides the speaker for the even¬ ing, Gordon Clark, spring foot¬ ball coach, there will be 30 min¬ utes of vaudeville acts presented by the famous Burt Levy theatre circuit. Also on the entertainment pro¬ gram is included an exhibition box¬ ing match between well known and successfull J. C. boxers. This has been arranged through Coach McAuley and promises to be very exciting. 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 (Continued on Page Two) Educators Get Honor Awards Miss Catherine J.

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.
