Fowiie’s Reorganized
Election Tested Today
“Noiw it can be told.”
This was the attitude of Wayne Fowlie, hustling com¬
missioner of elections, who, following endless midnight oil
burning sessions with his commission in an attempt to ferret
out the ineligibles, finally released ..the names of candidates
for today’s election.
Expecting more than the usual 25 per cent to make the
Isabel Culver and Virginia Winston wait for their dates at
the corner of Hollywood and Vine, geographically shifted to the
West Campus and the AWS co-ed party.
Bar Fiyj
AWS Invades Nite Clubs
Amid the atmosphere of a gala Hollywood preview, Jaysee co¬
eds spent Wednesday afternoon and part of the evening seeing that
ultra production “Magnificent Obsession” at the annual AWS Co-ed
Party on West Campus. Door prizes in the form of a sweater, jewel¬
ry, and perfume, were given out to the ones holding the lucky
numbers.
Taken into the glamorous surroundings of Hollywood Boule¬
vard’s noted night spots, alias the West Campus Student Union, the
girls partook of refreshments in the club of their choice: the Brown
Derby, Cocoanut Grove, the Trocodero, or Earl Carroll’s, and were
given their own selection of dance bands from the numerous ones
offered them by recordings.
Entertainment was in the capable hands of Virginia Rooke. .
Faithful Five
Cabinet Members Ask
Explication Of Duties
Largest cabinet in PJC history (17 members) scheduled
a meeting last Monday evening to talk over wrinkles in ad¬
ministering student body finances, but smallest turnout (5
voting members) greeted Chairman Pete Paulson.
Without the necessary quorum (2-3 of members must be
present in order to transact business) doughty Paulson and
slim Jim Eley drafted a memorandum to the Student Board.
Production Colossal
'Gatz Will Swell
Student Union Fund
Two years ago PJC abandoned its annual football page¬
ant. No longer do clever club floats entice “oohs” from
thousands massed in Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, gone is Audre
Stong’s famed Bulldog band, forgotten are the drivers who
backed their V-8 trucks down the ramp onto the oval cinder
track. But not for long —
short trip to the polls between
the hours of 8 and 4, Commis¬
sioner Fowlie is inaugurating
a new plan of ballot counting and
announcement of results. There
will be three people at each poll,
each with respective responsibili¬
ties. One, either a Lancer, Shield-
man, or Spartan will prevent loit¬
ering or campaigning in the vi¬
cinity; another will distribute
ballots and punch the voter’s
indentification card. Still anoth¬
er will count the ballots before
they are taken into the audito¬
rium where they will be added
to others. Results will be an¬
nounced via the Public Address
System.
Immediately catching the eye
are the names of fifteen fresh¬
men — all running for the same
office, Frosh Class president!
From top to bottom they are:
Hugo Cannizzaro, Betty Granger,
Verne Harper, Bob Harrison, Ell
Keenan, Jeanne McCune, Dan
Meub, Mary - Ellen Murichison,
Jim Nash, Christy Palmer, David
Rubesomen, Jack Schultz, Bill
Towne, Art Tu verson, John Rou-
bian.

Class Vice-President, Secretary,
and Treasurer, respectively are

nior Class it is Dave Brady for
Vice-President, Bernice N a d e
у

retary, plus Betty- Jo Hyatt and
Gloryanna Cooper for treasurer.

ter and Ed Van Koop, while run¬

ciate Principal Rufus Mead.
Picke To Play
Patriotic
Theme Of Today s
Assembly
Music will be poured out from
the stage of the Auditorium as
the Nysean Singers, the PJC
Male Quartet, and Miss Frieda
Picke take part in today’s assem¬
bly. This was revealed by Louise
McCastline, Secretary of Activi¬
ties.
Sponsored by the Music De¬
partment, the program will fea¬
ture highly diversified numbers.
The attractive Nyseans, top girl
singers of PJC, will present a
group of intensely patriotic num¬
bers including “I’m Glad I’m an
American,” and “Pledge of Alle¬
giance.”
Amusing Miss Frieda Picke of
Hollywood will be present to give
her entertaining, piano-accom¬
panied readings. On the occasion
of Miss Picke’s last visit to PJC,
a half hour of encores was de¬
manded from her.
The PJC Male Quartet, mem¬
bers of which are Norman Box-
ley, Rodney Munson, John New¬
ton, and Ray Valois will also par¬
ticipate. While their program has
not been divulged, one can usual¬
ly count on the quartet for some¬
thing humorous.
will also participate. While their
program has not been divulged,
one can usually count on the
Quartet for something humorous.
Louise McCastline expressed
her desire to urge all students to
attend this worthwhile program
of musical entertainment.
Poll Tabulators
Apologize
Working until past midnight
on Monday, Chronicle workers
tabulating war poll results
made only two mistakes, but
they proved important. Tues¬
day’s Chronicle announced that
PJC women had voted against
conscription (70 per cent),
against increased armaments
(96 per cent). Sleepy-eyed
Chronicle editors shook their
heads — that couldn’t be the
right answer, not after the
men had favored both conscrip¬
tion and increased armaments.
Chronicle workers set to
work recounting some 3417
votes. At 5 o’clock they had
the correct results — PJC’s
women were for conscription
(70 per cent), for increased
armaments (96 per cent) — just
the opposite of first results.
With a humble apology to
PJCs 1307 girls who voted in
Chronicle War Poll II, sleepy
ChronUe editors interpret the
results v'f 1940’s poll as com¬
pared to I939’s poll.
The memo asked the Board to
clarify:
1. Cabinet’s position in regard
to legislation, “cabinet is person¬
ally responsible to Student Body
President Harlan Erickson,” says
Attorney-General Warren Allen.
2. The muddle resulting from
administration Student General
Fund. Finance Secretary Jim
Eley claims he alone should ad¬
minister the fund, while Presi¬
dent Harlan Erickson says “the
board handles all funds, and they
should administer the students’
money.”
3. Financial bottleneck caused
by rule which makes it necessary
to obtain the signature of Jim
Eley on every requisition before
it will be honored. Some cabinet
members felt that it was too
hard to hunt for one student in
7000 to have requisitions signed.
(Board last week delegated Pres¬
ident Erickson and Associate
President Jerry Adams power to
sign requisitions).
The cabinet memorandum (not
official since no quorum was
present) will probably be placed
before the Board this morning.

KANTELLA CLUB

Flowers
JC Organizations
May Sponser
Pageant Floats
Twenty is the number of floats
to be submitted by the non-re-
strictive clubs at the stupendous
combination parade-pageant to
be held on November 7 at the
Rose Bowl.
This all-important decision was
made at the semi-annual meeting
of the Non-Restrictive Inter Club
Council.
FLOATS EXPENSIVE
Clubs at Pasadena Junior
College are sponsoring these
floats, the restrictive undertak¬
ing one-third of them, and the
service, honorary, and non-re-
strictive the other two thirds.
Ten dollars being the maxi¬
mum amount to be spent on
these spectacular creations, it
will be necessary for three or
four clubs to go together in the
making of one. Naturally no pa¬
rade would be complete without
awards for the most outstanding
entries and this is no exception
for there will be prizes given ac¬
cording to class.
CONSTITUTION IMPORTANT
Though the pageant-parade
was uppermost in the minds of
the presidents gathered the
NRICC constitution was brought
to their minds by ‘Ginnie’ Spahr,
secretary of organizations at
East Campus.
“This constitution was draft¬
ed last spring, but that is as
far as it went. Meetings were
supposed to be held every
month, but they haven’t been.
This inter-club council must
meet monthly, and be what the
name stands for. It’s the duty
of you presidents to see that
this council goes some place in
the future,” stated Ginnie.
“The date for the next NRICC
meeting has not as yet been set,
but it will be in the near future
and the presidents of non-re-
setrictive clubs will be expected
to attend,” said Ginnie.
One of the advisers of the
council, Miss Catherine J. Rob¬
bins, Dean of Women, was pres¬
ent, along with twenty-three
presidents and their representa¬
tives.
Student Gov't Classes
Need More Pupils
At administration - student
leaders dinner last week
President Harlan Erickson ex¬
pressed hope “that all stu¬
dents interested in student
democracy will enroll in
student government classes on
both campuses.” He stressed
the fact that “these classes are
open to all — they aren’t just
for board members.”
Unless more people enroll in
these classes at once they will
be dropped (classes are discon¬
tinued when enrollment is not
up to standard — only 15 have
enrolled for student govern¬
ment). “Those who wish to en¬
roll,” continued Erickson,
“should see their counselors at
once.”
PJC COLOSSUS
Needing money for two $10,-
000 payments on PJC’s new
$125,000 student union, student
leaders put their heads togeth¬
er, came forth with plans for
a gigantic pageant, biggest
PJC has ever attempted. On
Thursday, November 7th the
Rose Bowl will witness a two
hour show planned around the
central patriotic theme, “Page¬
ant of the Flag.”
Energetic Ed Davis, represen-
tative-at-large, was chosen by
the Student Board as the man to
lead PJC’s pageant plans. Last
Monday Davis called together
Deans Audre L. Stong, Ida E.
Hawes, Art Teacher William O.
Payne (who plans graduations),
and Chronicle News Editor Dave
Davis for a pageant meeting.
PLANS REVEALED
1. Plans for one hour parade,
one hour fete of lights.
2. Rules for building of club
floats, organization of parade,
glee clubs, band and outside
groups.
Terminating the meeting,
Chairman Ed Davis stressed,
. . that everyone at PJC must
do his part to make the pageant
a success . . . we need the student
union . . . pageant proceeds will
help build it.”
Tech Instructor
Has Breakdown
Mr. Benjamin Harrison, West
Campus Technology counselor,
and best friend of all the shop
majors, is forced out of school by
a nervous breakdown.
Two years ago Mr. Harrison
suffered a nervous breakdown
and was out for several weeks;
now because of overwork he has
been forced to take a rest. Dr.
Archie Turrell has taken over his
duties as counselor until he re¬
turns.
Mr. James P. O’Mara stated
for the whole student body, “We
are all sorry to hear about Mr.
Harrison and hope he will be
able to return to West Campus
soon.”
