Aspiring student body officers were interviewed by the Chroni¬ cle and presented the following platforms: ASB PRESIDENT Bud Lorbeer: It is up to you to choose and to vote for a representative Student Body pres¬ ident for the spring semester. The man who is chosen must necessarily be a man that the Student Body of Pasadena City College can entrust with the re¬ sponsibility of active and intelli¬ gent representation at all times. Having served for the past five semesters in student government I feel qualified in representing our school. I am anxious to work for the interest of the entire stu¬ dent body and I have a well- BUD LORBEER rounded platform planned to hit those problems of athletics and parking as well as student gov¬ ernment. Ted Todd: My election as Stu¬ dent Body president will bring to the office a student with the interest and qualifications for the position. I have gained the ex¬ perience necessary for this of¬ fice by serving three terms on the Student Body Board, as Fresh¬ man and Sophomore class presi¬ dents, and as Associated Men Students president. Couple this with a real interest in student body government and you have the pre-requisites for efficient ex¬ ecutive leadership. Chuck Wiggins: I welcome the opportunity to introduce myself to the students of PCC and to outline briefly my intentions when elected as your president. First, I will bring to our govern¬ ment an administration that is fair — not controlled by any spec¬ ial activity. Second, I will in¬ troduce a constructive program for ALL segments of our student body. And third, I will explore our school constitution for possi¬ ble changes allowing lower divi¬ sion students proper representa¬ tion. If you desire an administra¬ tion dedicated to YOU, I ask for your vote. ASB VICE-PRESIDENT Shirley Barnes: I wish to use my experience in student govern¬ ment for the benefit of you, the student. The newly revised cabi¬ net is to be tested next semester, and if I am elected ASB vice- president, I will see that it be¬ comes a smoothly functioning group. Pat Clark. Campus-wide activi¬ ties and the co-ordination of up¬ per and lower divisions are nec¬ essary for total student partici¬ pation. As your ASB vice-prexy, I will feel responsible to you per¬ sonally to inform you about ac¬ tivities in which you can partici¬ pate. Jacqueline Yelland: During this past semester, the student body cabinet was “streamlined” for ef¬ ficiency. Through this re-organ¬ ized cabinet, if I am elected, your organizations and interests will have more voice in student gov¬ ernment through , an active and revitalized cabinet by tireless and thoughtful representation on the board. SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT Jerry Donahue: This year the seniors have many projects to complete and start. We must finish the War Memorial Court, awaken the Alumni Association and start many others. To ac¬ complish this a hard working council and a strong president is necessary. These are the goals. Roberta Fifer: Your vote for me will bring you a strong class council, revival of the alumni as¬ sociation and make the Senior Class of ’49 stand out at PCC. My experience in student govern¬ ment will prove of value to you. Bud Ragan: Only one presi¬ dent elected for the senior class? True. But individual members of this organization form the speak¬ ing body. As senior president, I will see that every suggestion and idea submitted by members is carefully considered and entered into class functions. Morrie Wakefield: I’ve got the key to the door of unity, activity, responsibility, and action! I’m waiting to unlock it for you, the Senior Class . . . and bring senior social life and recognition to an all-time high, making each seni¬ or proud of his last year at Pasa¬ dena City College. JUNIOR CLASS PRESIDENT Lois Banks: In the past I have served PCC as Red Cross treasur¬ er, Ostiarian, SCA board member, vice-president and secretary of Spartans, cabinet member and as rep-at-large. I should like to con¬ tinue to serve as Junior Class prexy by trying to more closely unify the class. Loa Shoemaker: If elected I will strive to be an efficient of¬ ficer, co-ordinating the ideas of my council to fully represent the wishes of the Junior Class. CHUCK WIGGINS SOPH CLASS PRESIDENT Wally Calvert: If I am elected I shall do all in my power to promote more class activties and also to use my position on the Student Body Board for the best interest to the school and the stu¬ dent body. Don Eidermiller: If I am elect¬ ed to the office of Sophomore President I will try to make it the best Sophomore Class ever. I will try to provide for class ac¬ tivities for which our class will long be remembered. Hunter Hackney: As Soph president, I intend to represent the Soph Class as best I can. I intend to have the Soph Soap published more often. I intend to see that the Soph class gets all that it deserves in the way of financial assistance from student body funds. After a year of ser¬ vice on the Student Body Cabinet I feel confident of being able to handle this job. Kris Johannesen: Our Sopho¬ more Class play is an important part in the activities of the col¬ lege. If elected president of the Sophomore Class you can rest assured that I will endeavor to make our last semester in high school one to be remembered. John Thorne: My platform is based on the aim of giving Soph¬ omores the things they want, in¬ cluding a lower division pep com¬ mission, a good sophomore publi¬ cation, more class activities. Aft¬ er three semesters in student gov¬ ernment I am prepared to initiate this program. FROSH CLASS PRESIDENT Dick Streeper: If I am elected, I will strive to make the Fresh¬ man Class stronger and more ac¬ tive than it has been this semes¬ ter. I have served on the Fresh¬ man Council and I feel qualified to run for this office. REPRESENTATIVE AT LARGE Herb Blaster: Fine govern¬ ment is like fine machinery. It has to be constantly oiled and maintained. You, the members of the student body, keep the government lubricated by the votes you cast in electing your representatives. Let’s vote for fine government. Robert Boren: To be a good rep, a candidate must have the will to work. I am willing to work for these things: represent the student body as a whole; to see that student body funds are apportioned equally; to strive for better unity between the various PCC factions. Your interests are my interests. Joan Buohholz: As Soph Class prexy I worked on the finance committee, which, as you know, is the chief job of the reps-at- large. I believe that through working on the finance commit¬ tee I learned enough of the rep's duties to ably carry out the re¬ quirements of the office. TED TODD Bob Farina: If given the op¬ portunity to serve you, the stu¬ dents, as representative-at-large, I will sincerely uphold the tradi¬ tions and activities of Pasadena City College and vote on all is¬ sues in a manner which is favor¬ able to all student body members. Eddie LeGrand: If elected to the office of representative-at- at-large, I will keep in mind at all times that it is my duty to voice the opinion of the majority of the student body and not just small groups of students. Patsy Lynn: If elected as rep¬ at-large, I shall endeavor to rep¬ resent you, the students, in fin¬ ancial matters and all other ac¬ tivities in a way that will be the most beneficial for you. Jack Smith: I ask for your vote in support of my platform for an increased activity pprogram and a stronger vpice in student gov¬ ernment for lower division stu¬ dents. AMS PRESIDENT Jack Edmonds. Greater partici¬ pation and interest in AMS activ¬ ities through reviving spirit. This can be accomplished by better public relations and improved ac¬ tivities. . Fred Jahnke: My aim is to have an AMS Board with more equal representation for all men’s groups. I want more AMS activi¬ ties, such as the Tug of War and the Whiskerino. I promise you fair and square representation at all times. • Continued on Page Three
