Polls will open tomorrow at
1 o’clock following the assembly
and remain open until 3 p.m.
Friday the polls will open _ at 8
a:m. and will close at 3 p.m.
Workers are needed for both
days. Anyone wishing to help out
by working in one of the polling
places is asked to sign up in
Dean Haugh’s office, 111C,
Three of the six representatives
at large will be elected now, and
three in the fall. This idea was
decided upon to grant the incom¬
ing Freshman Class a chance for
more participation in student gov¬
ernment offices. By the new meth¬
od they will have a chance to fill
four places rather than the usu¬
al one, that of freshman presi¬
dent.
Wanted: Plans . . •
We have a responsibility to the next class, to give them
the best student officers available. The officers who are elected
now will lead next fall’s students in one of two directions:
to a semester that will be remembered as challenging and
active or a semester that will not - - - -
Eighteen Students Chosen to Receive
PEA Scholarships in Teaching Field
Eighteen students have been
named recipients of scholarships
from the Pasadena Education As¬
sociation, according to Mrs. Es¬
ther Cogswell, presiderft of the as¬
sociation.
The 18 were chosen on the basis
of worthiness, ability, grade point
ratio of 2.00 or above, and an edu¬
cational goal leading toward
teaching or some social service
type of occupation. This year’s
group is preparing for further ed¬
ucation in the fields of law, medi¬
cine, dentistry, engineering, and
teaching, the largest number be¬
ing in the latter vocation.
Elected to receive the scholar¬
ships are Martha Brumage, Jac¬
queline Dohm, Arthur Dyson,
Carlene Hester, Janett Hoover,
Mae Kosobayashi, Rosemarie
Ohanesian, Ronald Palfrey, Eliza¬
beth Parker, Ronald Plambeck,
Roberta Royse, Frances Slater,
Clare Crane, Margarita Fasta-
bend, Peter Force, Robert Hop¬
kins, Arthur Tripps, and Dorothy
Fabrin.
Pasadena teachers from all
grade levels each year stage a
carnival to raise money for the
scholarships. Approximately $2500
will be alloted among the 18 stu¬
dents for their future education.
be remembered at all.
Students with imagination and
initiative can lead in student gov¬
ernment and make it a semester
to remember. We must elect such
a group and make it a semester
to remember. We must elect such
a group of students or we are ad¬
mitting that we don’t care what
happens to the school.
Because of the short time al¬
lowed for campaigning, we have
little basis on which to vote for a
candidate. We have no chance to
hear what the candidates think
or really intend to do.
It’s not enough to be for more
school spirit. A platform must be
presented that states constructive
plans to create student interest.
To do something you must have a
, plan or goal in mind. If we vote
for the candidate with the most
advertising out, that says nothing,
we might as well not vote.
The candidate who has ambi¬
tion and real interest in the stu¬
dents will do more than put up
advertising that says “Vote for
Joe Doaks for Dog Catcher.” He
must have the imagination to do
something in his campaign or he
will lead student government in
the same "vote for Joe Doakes”
manner.
There are about 2000 members
of the ASB who are eligible to
vote. Last election 365 students
took time to vote. This is not
government by the majority but
government by the consent of the
majority, who didn’t vote.
We have only eight opportuni¬
ties to vote while we attend col¬
lege, so let’s be 100 per cent stu¬
dents not 25 per cent students.
Wear your halo or hero medal
this Thursday and Friday. Vote,
but vote for something!
Artist Inspired by
New Pipes of Pan
The creative ability of the Pas¬
adena City College students as ex¬
pressed in the 1956 issue of Pipes
of Pan has inspired Margaret
Welsh to paint an impressionistic
picture.
The picture, which was espe¬
cially painted for Pipes of Pan, is
a part of the Pipes of Pan exhibit
in the library. The arrangement
was done by George MacCauley of
the library staff. The exhibit also
features, in addition to the inter¬
pretative painting by Mrs. Welsh,
the drawings of Russell Bruegger
from which the illustrative cuts
for the Pipes were made.
