the American platform to bring his audiences unusual and
vital information from Britain. “Inside Britain” will be his
subject for the Tuesday Evening Forum on January 15, in
Sexson Auditorium at 8 p.m. _
Colored motion pictures will be
used to illustrate his lecture. Dr.
Miller will use them as back¬
ground material for better under¬
standing of Great Britain as a
world power, her struggles today
and of the importance of Ameri¬
can leadership in the future of
Great Britain. ,
Malcolm Miller began early to
explore the mountain ranges of
his native Northwest, and at the
age of 16’ had climbed all the
“major peaks” in the state of
Washington.

Be Selfish and Vote . . .
All the campaign posters, flyers and gimmicks on the
campus this week cannot fail to remind you that voting begins
tomorrow. And, when you picked up the paper today, you
probably expected to read in this editorial spot the same old
pitch that is dished out just before every election, whether
it is an election of ASB officers or of community leaders.
The old saw that “our precious right and privilege” of
voting is an integral part of the “American Way of Life” and
should be exercised is still a legitimate argument. But we
have heard it so often that most of us do not pay any atten-
in 1943, he went to sea as a gun¬
nery officer and later as execu¬
tive officer on a heavy destroyer
in the Pacific. In addition to par¬
ticipating in eleven major cam¬
paigns and organizing expedi¬
tions, Dr. Miller has also pro¬
duced several documentary mo¬
tion pictures on scientific explor¬
ation.
One of America’s foremost ex¬
plorers, Dr. Miller was leader of
the 1949-50 Juneau Icefield Re¬
search Project in Southeastern
Alaska; in 1949 the Patagonian
Expedition; and in 1948 was the
glaciologist on the Arctic Insti¬
tute of North American Expedi¬
tion to Seward Glacier Plateau in
Canada’s Yukon Territory.

Women's Athletic Association Installs
Officers at Afternoon Tea Today
This afternoon at 2:30 the dance studio of the Women’s
Gym will be transported north of the border in time for a
“Canadian Sunset,” the theme of this year’s Women’s Athletic
Association’s Installation Tea. The tea is an annual affair held
at the end of the first semester of
each year to present awards for 1

a return engagement for the “Lan¬
cers,” who have appeared on the
PCC stage in the past.
“The Lancers” as a singing
group were formed in 1950, and
since then have performed with
such well knpwn stars as Dorothy
Lamour, Ed Wynn, Danny Thom¬
as. They also toured with Kay
Starr for two years. The four
have helped to popularize such
recording hits as “Mr. Sandman”
and “Tweedle Dee.”
During the assembly hour each
new member of Omlcron Mu Del¬

Perhaps a new reason that is close to us personally would
attract more notice. You have paid twelve dollars for a little
book which allows you to go to the games and the dances. But
it also pays for the privilege of voting for the persons who will
handle the close to $50,000 of which your twelve dollars is a
part. Why not get your money’s worth by making sure that
the ones you know are capable of handling that sum- for your,
benefit get the job of doing it?
This is not a tongue-in-cheek reason. For most of you
twelve dollars is a large sum and you cannot afford to throw
it away. If you can get together with other ASB book holders
you can form a powerful bloc of votes to assure yourselves of
the greatest number of benefits. This is the only way, in fact,
that you can legally use any coercion at all to dictate how
your money is spent.
Look over page three of this paper and decide for your¬
self who you think is capable and trustworthy of handling
your money. Then go out and talk to your friends about doing
the same in preparation for the opening of the polls tomorrow.

On December 14, Edwin Van Amringe, since 1924 a teacher of
geology at Pasadena City College, and for the last six years chairman
of the Physical Science Department, passed away quite suddenly. His
hundreds of students and the thousands of alumni of his courses will
miss him deeply.
Mr. Van Amringe was one of the outstanding geologists of the
country, the founder of the Mineralogical Society of Southern Cali¬
fornia, and one whose enthusiasm as a teacher inspired many of
those in his classes to take up geology as a vocation. A number of
these went on to be famous mining engineers, geologists, and college
professors, and their names are found in “Who’s Who” and “American
Men of Science.” But all of us will miss most the human touch Van
had — not only in his classes, but in all his contacts with both his
students and his fellow instructors.
Dr. William B. Langsdorf,
President
