Hollywood Victory Show Visits Campus Comedy By J. M. Barrie
As Sixth War Loan Drive Commences This ^eor s Guild Choice
This morning’s assembly, the Armistice Day Assembly, features what is termed a “Hollywood
Show.” The show, starring the 18-piece Santa Mo nica Army Air Corps swing band and a war hero was
obtained through the efforts of Mr. Claude W. Hippier of the Board of Education and Frank McCor¬
mack, War Council Chairman.
The band is playing several novelty numbers in its program, and plans to render several of the
popular songs of today. The war hero will be introduced and interviewed by a member of the
American Toastmasters’ Club,
who will also make a short talk
on the necessity of buying bonds
now that we are in the final
stages of the war.
Although the assembly fea¬
tures war bonds, PJC’s drive
will not start until later this
month, at which time the goal
will be the purchase of one of
America’s newest weapons, the
Black Widow, Northrup’s latest
night fighter plane.

Bible Students

an affiliate of the Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship. The I.V.C.
F., which originated in England,
is now a world-wide organization.

zation and its aims to the student
body. Active and associate mem¬
bership now stands at approxi¬
mately 100.

How P J C Voted. . . .
Characterized by vociferous student partisanship were the
days immediately preceding the national election. PJC students
in halls and classrooms could be heard arguing the relative merits
or demerits of various candidates and parties.
In order that there might be some statistical idea of the
student political pulse, SCAN, (SCA news organ), the Chronicle,
and Student Public Affairs Commission, took polls. SCAN poll
was the most carefully controlled, and probably the most accurate.
The experimental Chronicle survey, obtained as it was by un¬
supervised voting, provided a quaint demonstration of the vagaries
of student ideas of political ethics. SPAC took its small poll at
its election dinner, last Tuesday night.
Following are the results of all three surveys:
SCAN SURVEY: Roosevelt, 51.1 per cent. Dewey, 47.1 per
cent. Thomas, 1.8 per cent. Total votes — 556.
CHRONICLE SURVEY: Rooosevelt, 47.03 per cent. Dewey,
62.14 per cent. Thomas, 0.71 per cent. Watson, 0.12 per cent.
(Other write-ins were: Adolf Hitler, 1 vote; Sam Soghomonian, 10
votes.) Total votes — 843.
SPAC SURVEY; Roosevelt, 30 votes. Dewey, 30 votes.
Thomas, 1 vote. Total — 61. v
