Bordwell Named Prexy, Fowle
Bob Bordwell will serve as ASB
president during the upcoming
spring semester.
Bordwell, running unopposed,
was elected by the smallest elec¬
tion turnout in PCC history last
week. Only 393 students exercised
their voting privileges in the two-
day balloting.
The president-elect, who pledged
to improve the quality of and par¬
ticipation in ASB activities, tal¬
lied 334 votes in the election.
JOHN Fowle defeated Ted Drew
in a lopsided vice-presidential
race, 291-68. Fowle, a sophomore
pre-dentistry major, won by the
largest margin of all the contest¬
ed offices.
George Fulks swept to the Sen¬
ate presidency in the only office
in which more than two candi¬
dates vied. Fulks accumulated 215
votes, compared to Mike Phee,
112, and Duane Crumb, 38.
Jim Dooley will serve as the
Class president,
Covington by a
Freshman
defeating John
147-53 margin.
Pete Holmstrom nosed out Bill
Mulligan, 105-91, for the AMS
presidency in the closest race.
IN THE offices with no opposi¬
tion, Jerry Tambe was elected
Sophomore Class president with
118 votes and Donna Broxson
was elected AWS president with
142 tallies.
Takes Veep Position
The constitutional amendment,
which would have lowered the
minimum grade point average for
student office candidates to 2.0,
failed to pass. Although the “yes”
votes gained a 198-114 majority, a
two-thirds margin was not obtain¬
ed. The GPA will remain at the
present 2.2.
THE officers-elect, who will as¬
sume their official duties on Feb¬
ruary 8, will be formally installed
tonight at the ASB Installation
Banquet.
Bordwell’s victory crowns a
substantial record of PCC service.
He is currently vice-president of
the Sophomore Class, and is a
member of the Inter-Club Coun¬
cil Board and the Student Curric¬
ulum Committee. He deserves
much of the credit for the suc¬
cess of the Danny Thomas March
on Leukemia prior to the Christ¬
man holidays.

Honorary Group Has
Distinguished Past

organization on the Pasadena City College campus. Known as
Order of Mast and Dagger from its founding in 1927 until
OMD Assembly and Reception
Precede Traditional Banquet
At the OMD assembly at noon today, where all new tappees were
presented by John Weingarten, president, to the student body, Tim
Morgon, wll-known folk singer and former Pasadena City College
student, was featured.
Immediately following the assembly, the traditional reception for
new members was held in the office of administrative dean, Dr. Armen
Sarafian, 102C.
Punch, and a cake bearing the names of all tappees, were served.
Present also were alumni members and honoraries.
The semi-annual banquet to honor new members of OMD is set
for Saturday night, Jan. 16, at 7 o’clock at the Antique Inn, 3570 E.
Foothill Blvd., Pasadena.
Theme is “Rubies for Omicron Mu Delta,” according to the group’s
officers, because this is the “kickoff’ dinner toward the celebration of
OMD’s fortieth anniversary.
President John Weingarten will welcome all alumni and honorary
members. Jeff Hess, past president, will offer the invocation. Enter¬
tainment is scheduled by the Cinderwood Singers, a folk singing
group. The foursome is composed of Pat Sterling, Sari Weatherwax,
Tony Pegal, all ex-PCC students, and Tom Padrick.
Dr. Catherine J. Robbins, president of PCC, will welcome all
guests. Weingarten and Betty Holmes, vice-president, will then intro¬
duce the new tappees, all alumni members, and all honoraries.
OMD advisers are Gene Sullivan of the Placement Bureau, and
J. Robert Trevor, member of the English Department faculty.
1954, OMD has always had the
purpose of recognizing unselfish
service to the college by students,
faculty, and members of the ad¬
ministration.
When John Muir College was
merged with PCC in 1954, the in¬
itials remained, but the name
changed to its present Omicron
Mu Delta. At Muir the similar
organization was known as Order
of Distinguished Service.
Selection of those to be hon¬
ored is complicated and as thor¬
ough and fair as it can be made.
To start the process, faculty and
administration submit their rec¬
ommendations to the active mem¬
bers of OMD.
OMD members then sit down to¬
gether in lengthy sessions, evalu¬
ating the list they have accumu¬
lated, and developing a semi-final
tapping list.
Those students still on the list
are again discussed and evalu¬
ated on a point scale. All those
who remain above a designated
cut off number are tapped as new
members.

Annual Carnival
Climaxes Social
Events for PCC
The highlight of all campus so¬

Spring Carnival, which will have
its thirty-seventh renewal May 7
this year. Traditionally, the car¬
nival is an outstanding success.
Normally the fete is presented
on Horrell Field. Last June the
theme was Global Affair, with
such features as skill tosses, a for¬
eign legion jail, water dunking,
snow cones, and the like.
The annual affair has a queen
and court to reign over festivities,
and beard growing contests.
An exciting part of each carni¬
val is the announcement of win¬
ners of the Harbeson Award. This
scholarship tribute, financed by
proceeds of the carnival, go to the
outstanding freshman man and
woman for service and scholar¬
ship.
The award is named for a for¬
mer president of the college, Dr.
