Queen, Court, Return to
Classes, Overdue Work
Back to classes last week after
two weeks in a whirlwind of
ceremonies, receptions and roses
were Nancy Thorns and the four
Princesses who were PCC’s rep¬
resentatives on the 1952 Tour¬
nament of Roses Court.
Queen Nancy took a day off
last Wednesday to recover from
the effects of reigning over the
sixty- third annual Rose Parade,
with Princesses Marcia Long,
Barbara Fisher, Carolyn Graves
and Sharon Kelly of City Col¬
lege, and Diana Dial and Ann
Cottingham of Muir College. She
was back in her regular classes
on Thursday, faced with making
up work missed during the hec¬
tic days of interviews, picture
taking, and dress fittings which
precede the start of her reign
as Queen of the Roses.
With a program which includ¬
es trigonometry, composition and
physics, Nancy names the math
as her favorite subject, while
physics is the hardest.

Foreign Students
Need Driving Help
Sending out a plea for stu¬
dents with driver’s licenses, Dr.
Robert Yeaton launched a cam¬
paign to teach many of the for¬
eign students on campus to drive.
Dr. Yeaton, in charge of the
block program designed to ori¬
ent foreign students to the col¬
lege, asked for licensed drivers,
either men or women, who could
help teach the California State
Vehicle Code and give road in¬
struction to the students, some
of whom have already had driv¬
ing experience in other coun¬
tries and have their own auto¬
mobiles here.
Those interested in helping the
campaign may see Dr. Yeaton in
room 20C during the 9, 11, 1 or 2
o’clock classes and make arrange¬
ments to give instruction during
those hours or at any other time.

Revised Exam Schedule
Receives Approval
A new and different final examination schedule was given
final approval last week by a near-landslide vote of the
PCC faculty. Devised by Registrar Roland W. Grinstead
and other faculty members, the new plan is designed to sat¬
isfy newly interpreted State re- _ _ _ _ _
quirements for the collection of
Average Daily Attendance pay¬
ments, at the same time pro¬
viding a satisfactory and prac¬
tical system for giving finals.
The major changes from the
old finals setup used last year
are the adoption of a two and
one-half hour examination peri¬
od, and the addition of a two and
one-half hour study period to
precede the exams in all 8, 9, 10,
11 and 1 o’clock daily classes.
Since the study period ruling
applies only to the classes named
those classes meeting only two
or three times weekly, and daily
classes meeting in the late after¬
noon, will be changed only by
the addition of a half hour to
the exam period.
Students enrolled in block pro¬
grams (classes meeting four or
more consecutive hours) will
continue to attend classes each
examination day, excepting, the
classes in related subjects in
which exams will be taken ac¬
cording to schedule.
A complete outline of the
schedule for this semester’s ex¬
ams may be found in this week’s
Campus Crier.
ASB Primary Election Fills Every Office
Every major Associated Stu¬
dent Body office was filled for
the coming semester in the ASB
primary elections last Friday,
eliminating the necessity for
the final balloting scheduled for
this week.
Leading one of the most spirit¬
ed campaigns thh campus has
seen in recent years, the race
for the post of Student Body
president went to former cheer¬
leader Dick Owens, who polled
above 100 votes more than can¬
didate John Thie, this semester’s
AMS president. Owens, well
known for his work in drama,
radio and music, used his Bull¬
dog campaign symbol against
the carefully planned campaign
of Thie, who has formerly serv¬
ed as law enforcement commis¬
sioner and Junior Class president
as well as AMS executive.
Closest of all contests was that
for the office of Senior class
Dick Owens
president, in which Pete Kath-
man defeated Ron Woodford by
a single vote. Other class presi¬
dencies went to Jeanne Nickell,
white ballot candidate for the
Junior gavel; Joan Jahnke, who
candidated for Sophomore lead¬
ership against Jerry Govan, and
Burt Howells, elected Freshman
chief over Johnny Johnson.

large to the ASB Board and pres¬
ident of the Student Christian
Association.

offices of Associated Men Stu¬
dents president and Associated
Women Students president, Lar¬
ry Harris and Joan Rydman,

man, Ann Metten, John Fitz
Randolph, Linda Denny, Ann
Dennett and Jim Bald, the first
four named were elected to the
Andy Castellano
four posts of representative-at-
large by garnering the .greatest
number of votes.
Automatically elected first vice-
president of the AWS was the
unopposed candidate Nancy
Thorne, 1952 Tournament of
Roses Queen, while Donna Cole,
also unopposed, became second
vice-president. Automatically el¬
ected to unfiled for AWS offices
