two stores are two more charac¬

Scores of scenes consist of ac¬
tual battle footage. Suspense is
created when the Marine fighters
attack Japanese troops, warships,
Zero interceptors or Kamakiza
pilots. The rough' and ready
Leathernecks, played by John
Wayne and Robert Ryan, face
extreme danger and take part in
fast action throughout the pic¬
ture.
The plot tells how Marine Ma¬
jor, John Wayne, who is the viv¬
id leader of close ground-sup-
port tactics, shows Executive Of¬
ficer, Robert Ryan, how to make
his own tough command deci¬
sions. Romance, humor and
thrills intertwine in this story
to make it extremely entertain¬
ing.
. But this main attraction is not
the only entertainment you en¬
joy for 35 cents. A cartoon en¬
titled, “The Trailer Horn,” will
also be presented.
The picture will be shown at
3:15 and 8 p.m. in Sexson Audi¬
torium. Tickets may be pur¬
chased from the Student Bank,
■Triton Booth on the day of the
movie, and from the department¬
al councils.

Rose Queen, Court
Return from South
PCC’s pride, Rose Queen Nan¬
cy Thorne, recently returned from
the Fiesta de Primavera in Mexi¬
co City along with members of
her court, Mrs. Lorrayne Calkins,
John Muir administrator, and
William Nicholas, president of the
Tournament of Roses Associa¬
tion and his wife.
These Mexican festivities are
held annually to raise money for
the needy children in our south¬
ern “borderland.”
In the parade, held as part of
the celebration, ride queens from
various parts of the world. Last
year’s procession featured sever¬
al from South America, one from
France, England, University of
Miami in Florida, University of
Southern California and many
others.
itial action upon accepting the
post was to advise all candidates
of due date on election eligibility
sheets and to post a date for the
compulsory candidates meeting.
Of great importance to vote-con¬
scious students is the fact that
all minor AMS-AWS officers will
be elected this semester instead
of relying on appointments.
In addition to the interesting
contest which appears to be shap¬
ing up between Castellano and
Powers, other elections offer
strong competition, according to
Bald. “The Jeanne Nickell-Wes-
ton Dudley-George Milan trian¬
gular race for vice-president of
the student body may turn into
the hottest thing we’ve had in
years,” stated Bald. He 'also
noted that the battle for AMS
president between John FitzRan-
dolph and Bob Spare could turn
into a real contest.
Red Cross Solicits
Furniture for
T Building Lounge
Wanted by our local Red Cross
chapter: six floor lamps, six easy
chairs, six floor screens, end
tables, a cabinet for storage, and
magazine shelves. For those who
think that the Red Cross mem¬
bers are going into the furniture
business, an explanation follows.
In the new Tech building, a
room has been set aside to serve
as a lounge for some of the men
who spend the majority of their
time in that area. This lounge
will operate in much the same
way as the student lounge in the
C building. But as it is now the
bare floor and walls give one
little incentive to lounge or even
stand around. Pat Hayes, Red
Cross president, is heading the
drive to adequately furnish this
room for the Tech students. Any¬
one who would like to contribute
pieces should contact the student
activities office.

the show are on sale at the New¬
man office in 25C, and at the
