u You COULD Flip A Coin-But Don't Tomorrow, March 12, we will all have the opportunity to exer- cise one of our privileges as members of ASUCR, that of voting for candidates for student body offices. It is hardly necessary to remind you that this is probably the most important issue that will face the student body this year. It is the editorial opinion of the UCB Cub that all our candi- dates are well-qualified for the offices they seek. When you come down to cases there is little to choose between any of them, they are all so well-qualified. However, too often students neglect to express their desires in student elections, fail to campaign for the individual of their choice, and fail to cast their votes. Later, recriminations are heard against the person chosen for office. These criticisms cannot be justified if less than 507: of the student body is interested enough to participate in the elections either as candidates or as voters. We have had rather poor turn-outs for student meetings in the past. Let us hope that tomorrow all students qualified to vote for candidates will do so. It is important that in casting our votes we be truly convinced that the individual for whom we vote is truly qualified for office. Don't cast your vote for any particular individual simply because your friend votes for him. Cast your ballot because you honestly believe him to be the man best qualified for the office. Above all, remember to go to the polls tomorrow and VOTE. VICE-PRESIDENTS BILL KASSEL I fully realize the responsibility of holding such a position in student govemment and also can realize how important it is to have student gov- ernment directed by student opinions, suggestions, and criticisms. At this point, we come to my sec- ondary objective in running for this office and that is to work for the com- mon interests of the student body by getting ideas and suggestions from the student body as a whole and not according to certain groups My primary objective in running for the office is that I want to see the student body united because I sincerely believe that A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND. I picked that well-worn cliche because the truth of that statement can be seen almost anywhere in history, and that same statement applies directly to our situation at UCB at present. The only remedy that I can see is to emphasize entire student body par- ticipation in everything rather than small-groupv control of everything. But if everyone is so filled with the idea of starting a group, let's all start one called UCB Students Inc. where each student sincerely inter- ester in UCR's affairs is backed by 129 other students feeling exactly the same way about the school. BILL COWAN We, the soon-to-be formed student body of UCR, must set up a govern- ment with sound principles and a strong consideration for the future. Our student government must be built and run by the students them- selves, independent of ALL outside factions. Lastly, I would like to call for a good, clean campaign. Regardless of who might ultimately win out, let's all pull together to make our ASUCR the compact, well-organized entity it should be. LORRAINE EYER We, as students of UCB, face the challenge of a new University void of tradition. Academically we have a pattem of individualized education set before us, it has been planned for many years and now we are rather warily par- taking of it. Socially we have no precedents. VVe have an advantage over the other Universities. Every student is on the same level regardless of background. We need not feel the pressure of organized against unorganized stu- dents which is present in the larger Universities. Our social events must be organ- ized to unify the student body and emphasize the potentiality that is within each student. I am ready to help organize such social events. Whether I am elected or not I will work for the development of events at which students may relax from their studies and learn to know each other better. SECRETARIES PAT SPARKMAN A secretary's duties are not only to record accurately the business con- ducted in a meeting, but also to be willing, as well as capable, of plan- ning, discussing, and carrying out projects that will be a credit to the University. I am willing to expend the time and effort to promote good will, plan progressive activities, enter into social functions and record for future action and reference the decisions made in our meetings. The records of this first semester will be a guidepost and will help to set the tradition for the future stu- dents of UCB. I would like to make that record a complete, accurate, honest, and in- teresting one. MABLE FARISTER As I said in my speech last Thurs- day, I fully realize the responsibility of the job of secretary-historian of a new school. The records of UCBIS first semester will be referred to many times in the years to COITIS. We are setting a new stage upon which many scenes will be played. These scenes should have a good background so that they will be remembered in the future. I feel that I am capable of recording these scenes in a clear and interesting manner and would consider it a great honor to serve as UCR's first Secretary. TREASURERS BILL ANDERSON I think all of us at UCR realize the great privilege we have in form- also must not overlook our duty to ing our own student govemment. We the school to form good traditions. We want these traditions to last for many years to come. I think that the treasurer will have a good chance to help form the student government and lasting traditions. I hope that I will have the chance to take a part in these things as your treasurer. While in high school I served on committees. These were: activities committee, assembly committee, and Tradition Day committee. I did some work in the drama department and worked on the production of the school plays. I have never handled much money. That is an understatement. I do feel that I can make the best possible use of what money we will have this semester. Thank you. BUD BARTON This chance to be in on the ground floor of student govemment is a terri- fic challenge and an opportunity for a person to help establish .student governmental traditions that will re- main over a long period of time. I believe I can help to start these traditions and if I'm elected I will try and help start the type of student government that we will be proud of in future years. I have attended school in River- side from grade school until 1953 when I graduated from Riverside College. Through high school I was on many student committeesg was active in sports, especially swimming, and I was treasurer and Vice-President of the Hi-Y and treasurer of the Letter- man's Club. While in J. C. I was cheerleader one year, Vice-President of Kappa Upsilon fraternity, and I was a member of the rally committee. ' In conclusion, let me say that if elected I will do everything in my power to help run the student body in a way that will meet with the general approval of students and faculty. PETE VAN VECHTEN It is indeed a privilege to pa pate in the organization of our student government. Now, as in the past, I have ali been interested in student go ment. During the formative yea high school I was active in va committees i.e. Scholarship, Sa and Board of Representatives. YVhile at UCLA in 1949 and I was secretary in the Organizati Control Board. If elected I will devote the n sary time to the fulfillment of duties as treasurer. Any suggestions as to the impr ment of the office of treasurer be greatly appreciated. In any position it is not the duty of said officer to run his o but to be open-minded to the sug tions the student body may have Monday Deacllin For Scholarships Applications for undergra scholarships for the fall semester due Monday, March 15. Awards of scholarships are b on applicant's academic record on the Committee's estimate o financial need and his promise. The only necessary qualifica for applicants are a minimum of grade point average, and a degr one quarter self-support. Three persons in the comm must also recommend you f scholarship. This application must be in office of the Committee on U graduate Scholarships, Universit Califomia at Riverside by cl time on March I5 or bear a I5 PM postmark. It should be understood that intent of the University and of donors of the scholarship funds assist students of ability and si purpose, but of limited financial cation-not to dispense charity.

To give everyone an opportunity to express his ideas, to give everyone the job of establish- ing ASUCR, to give effective leader- ship in the direction required. It takes more than buildings to make a college. It takes a group of students and a student body govem- ment. It takes more than being elected to make a student body govemment. It takes experience, imag- ination, and leadership. Vote for Vaughn! That's me. Thatis mc?? Stu- dent body Presidcnt of ASUCR-thatis Vaughn. Tomorrow is election day. I hope that 100'Z1 of the Student Body goes to the polls. During the past few weeks, I have had the good fortune to become fair- ly well acquainted with most of you, and I am convinced that the Student Body of this College is capable of laying the foundations that are need- ed if this organization which we are now founding is to be lasting. I think we will need to move slowly and carefully in the weeks ahead but the final decision will remain with you. The office of President during this formative semester will be one of ex- treme importance in realizing our goal. With your help, I believe that I will be able to help you do the job that must be done. XVhen you vote tomorrow, I hope it will be for. me so 'that together we can achieve our aims. ' ST BALLOTS FROM 8 - 5 ON FRIDAY 1 Candidates Meet To Discuss Plans With Broadbent Leis keep it vigorous but clean, said Dean Broadbent at the meeting of candidates and campaign managers of the forth- coming election. That was the Dean's parting word at the Wednesday, March 3rd meet- ing in his office. A meeting keynoted by high-spirits and friendly coopera- tion. By mutual consent, it was agreed that no candidate was to spend more than five dollars on his or her cam- paign, and that all the political as- pirants would submit a statement of expenses to the Dean of Students. The first order of business was to determine if all the candidates were eligible -to run for office. An exam- ination of the petitions showed that none were ineligible. The following individuals were of- ficially declared as candidates at the meeting: For President of the Student Body were Joe Pitmzzello, Vaughn Blankenship and Charles Young. Running for Vice-President: Bill Cowan, Lorraine Eyer and Bill Kas- sel. Secretarial aspirants are Pat Sparkman and Mabel Fariester, while Peter C. Van Vechten, Bill Anderson and Bud Barton have thrown their hats into the financial ring-treasurers. The meeting lasted for nearly an hour, and was interrupted only by several photographers who had come to the office to take pictures of the presidential candidates for the local press. A post-election party will be held in the Physical Education Bldg. from 7-11 Friday, March 12. All students are invited. Police Have Auto Decals Decal stickers are now available at the Police Department for spring semester students of UCR, Sgt. Edw. Schroeder announced yesterday.

An officer will place the decal on the windshield of every registered UCB student vehicle. Students who have not registered their vehicles must do so before ob- taining a sticker. . - Sgt. Schroeder and his staff would like 'also to thank the student body for their cooperation in registering their vehicles and'for th econserva- tive manner in which they drive on campus.

April 15 is the deadline for California state tax returns, so a few remarks seem appropriate. 1953 tax rates are at near record levels. They range from 22.2'Z: of net taxable income of 32,000 to 9221 on the income in excess of 200,000. However, those who complain about taxes might recall that it takes beau- coup de loot to finance wars and re- cessions every few decades. Both faculty and students should be interested in taxes, because they are either taxpayers or dependents. A working student is a dependent if he or she eamed less than S600 in 1953, and received more than half support from the taxpayer. A refund of withheld income taxes may be requested by the dependent merely by filing his own separate re- turn. Allowable deductions from taxable income are usually the most interest- ing phase of tax law. All taxpayers may deduct l0'Z: of their adjusted gross income, but have the option of itemizing certain de- ductions if they exceed this 107: stan- dard deduction. The deductible items are many and tricky. Within each classification such as contributions, interest, taxes, casualty losses, medical expenses, etc., there are often several deductions of which the average taxpayer has never heard. He may also have misconceptions as to allowable deductions. If he is con- templating iteniizing deductions, and especially if he has income other than salary-fees, dividends, and rentals are examples-he definitely should seek expert advice. ' This may not only save him taxes, but also keep him out of legal diffi- culties. The postwar inflation and the poli- cies of the new administration have brought forth the possibility of sev- eral desirable tax reforms. Chief among these are the proposals to raise the personal exemption above the present 35600, to allow working moth- ers to deduct the cost of child care, tolavoid double taxation of corporate dividends, and to raise the medical deduction. One might even argue that the per- sonal exemption should be raised high enough to eliminate families earning less than say S4500 fthe bulk of wage-earning unitsl. The saving in tax collection ex- penses, and man-hours spent pouring over tax returns might more than offset the loss in revenue. Millions of Americans would wel- come this relief. 1 -c -4+ 5:5313 y to build a new tradition of University and at College of the City US Wide Community SPlrlr-With Of New York- 3:gagaia5.5525age52555Q5555525sgarage,zis,sis3s5a5age5z5gage55533.555agfgegsg5gzgsis5sgzgzgagzggzgzgagzgzgagsg flly sfowins from H, .. . , b, E S. .
