Woodbridge, Gage Duel
for Vke-prexy Post
Acting as president of the student cabinet, and as vice-president
on the Board next year will be one of the two girls who have peti¬
tioned for the second spot on the ballot, Kathy Gage and Patsy
Woodbridge.
Both girls have a wealth of experience behind them in their bids.
Patsy has been a rep at large and clerk of the Board, commissioner
of records on the Cabinet, on the English and Language Councils,
and a member of Spartans, WAA and CSF. If elected, she hopes
to co-ordinate the cabinet and attempt to publicize more of
the actions of the student government so that all students will feel
that the central group actually works for them.
Kathy gained her fore-knowledge of student activities as a
member of the Women’s Council, Music Council, Kantela, Spartans,
and through her work as clerk of the Board and a member of the
elections commission. Her aims include the final settlement of the
suffrage question by the students, and a way in which to make
cabinet recommendations more effective for official Board action.
The contest for the vice-presidency is the top race on this semes¬
ter’s ballot, due to the fact thatJohn Fit;; Randolph, incumbent Stu¬
dent Body president, is the only candidate seeking the school’s
highest student office.
Limited Campaign
Sixteen candidates have petitioned for the right to hold
ten Board posts next fall and are facing election results in
the primaries this Friday. In one of the smallest groups of
candidates in some years, three
Incumbent John FifzRandolph Runs
Unopposed for ASB Presidency
For the first time in several years only one candidate will be on the ballot for Associated
Student Body president in the general election this Friday. John FitzRandolph, who is run¬
ning for re-election, has stated the following aims for the coming year: “It has been my
pleasure to serve as ASB president for the past semester. Once again I seek election to this
position. I do so because I have
had an opportunity to see the
problems that face the fall se¬
mester and to conceive solutions
for these problems.
“First, of course, the ever-in¬
creasing need to sell more stu¬
dent body books confronts us.
The obvious solution, to me, is
to offer more opportunities for
membership. Working with sev¬
eral Board members and writing
to other jaycees, I have many
ideas and suggestions which
bear more investigating. The
chance to sell ASB books is non¬
existent in the spring and the fall
term would enable the Board and
me to work toward higher mem¬
bership. Spirit would rise with
the advent of better and more ac¬
tivities.
“I hope the experience of a
spring semester will give me a
background for the fall. My
ideals have not changed. My prin¬
ciples are unaltered; my feeling
of gratitude for being elected has
increased. I would look forward
to serving again.”
offices are unopposed, including
those of the presidency, AWS,
and Senior Class president. There
are five students in the field for
the four rep posts, two are run¬
ning for Sophomore Class and
Junior Class president, and two
each for AMS and ASB veep.
Friday, at 8 a.m. the balloting
will start, and will continue until
four o’clock, with polling places
located in several convenient
spots on the campus.
Friday’s assembly period will
take the form of an election ral¬
ly, featuring speeches by all of
the candidates.
Quintet Ready to
Contest Rep Posts
In the field of candidates for
the four representative at large
posts for next fall are five candi¬
dates. Those elected in the fin¬
als will be given the opportunity
to act as the chosen elected of¬
ficers for the general student
body.
Toy Blixt is a 12-2 coed who
has participated on the Elections
Commission, on the Youth Day
committee, and as AWS secre¬
tary and Sophomore Class vice-
president. She hopes to promote
more interest in a better student
government, and to the best of
her ability to give students the
laws and processes they indicate
they want.
Now commissioner of organiza¬
tions on the Cabinet, Curt Tam-
kin is another hopeful rep can¬
didate. He has been active on
his Freshman Class Council, on
the pup, health and elections
commissions, in the Argonaut and
Caduceus Clubs and on the Youth
Day committee. Making the Board
pay more attention to Cabinet
recommendations and getting
more spirit and interest in school
government are the main parts
of his proposed program.
More activities for lower divi¬
sion students is one of the big
hopes on which Del Elliott bases
his rep campaign. Del is now a
member of the Frosh Council and
has co-operated in -many school
service programs. If elected he
wants to help the student repre¬
sentative groups accomplish more
for PCCites.
Anna McBride has worked as
chairman of publicity on the
Freshman Council, as commis¬
sioner of health on the Cabinet,
and on the elections commission,
Youth Day and Club Day. Her
platform includes working for

Nod, AWS Unopposed
For the office of AMS president there are two experienced
candidates, Terry Smith and Ron Fox. Ron and Terry both
hope to receive the opportunity to represent the men students
on the Board and to direct their campus activities. Ron has
been in government for quite - —
in
some time in the position of
commissioner of organizations,
and4 in various positions on the
Student Court. He was the Ju¬
nior Class president-elect last se¬
mester and is active in local serv¬
ice clubs and councils. As AMS

board, better promotion of AMS
projects, and bigger and better
activities for all men students.
Presently a rep-at-large on the
Board, Terry Smith has also
been a member of the Key Club,
the Bullpup Letterman’s
the pep commission, and school
service organizations. Next year
he hopes to see better representa¬
tion on the board for the lower
"division, and the promotion of
more activities for the men stu¬
dents. If elected, this is his plat¬
form.

posed this year, with Sylvia
Pauloo the lone candidate. Syl¬
via has been pup commissioner,
an AWS officer for three semes¬
ters, and a member of Spartans,
Club, Kantela and WAA.
