This petition with over ninety signatures was circulated by stu¬ dents Frank Stong and Jim Haw¬ kins and read as follows: “We the students of the art depart¬ ment of Pasadena City College, wish to petition the art faculty to present an exhibition of their own art work at the earliest pos¬ sible time.” When acknowledging the pe¬ tition the art faculty agreed to present the work of a different instructor each week for the re¬ mainder of the school year. Last week the first exhibit was held, with several abstract paintings by Leanord Edmindson being fea¬ tured. His work, marked by its lack of representational design, is similar to the color composi¬ tion and organizational used by modern textile and rug manufac¬ turers. Edmindson received first prize in the 1946 watercolor ex¬ hibition, sponsored by the San Francisco Art Association at the San Francisco Museum of Art. This week a group of watercol- ors by Carolyn Woodhull is be¬ ing displayed. There are both landscapes and portraits which Miss Woodhull painted while in Hawaii, Guatamala and Mexico. She has displayed her work pre¬ viously at the Pottinger Galleries of Pasadena and the Art Center School. es, PCC’s music department will offer another event of the Spring Music Festival Monday night, May 17, at 8 p. m., in the lecture room of the public library.

Following a motion drawn up at the recent Junior Col¬ lege conference by PCC Stu¬ dent Body President Dick Gray and El Centro College Prexy John Lampo, this week -of May 10 through the 16, has been designated as Brother¬ hood Week in all California junior colleges. Heading the committee for Pas¬ adena City College is Represen¬ tative at Large Harry Montgom¬ ery, who stated at the outset of the week, “In sponsoring this Brotherhood Week we hope to lessen racial intolerance and to Dick Gray make the feeling of equality last not only for this week but for every week of the year.” Serving on the committee with Montgomery are Reps at Large Lois Banks, Margaret Henze and Marguerite O’Dell as well as SCA representative Matoi Satomi. Student officers of all the jun¬ ior colleges urge student cooper¬ ation in the furtherance of the campaign against intolerance. According to Dick Gray, “We are planning to carry out a program which will eliminate several spe¬ cific racial problems and at the same time alleviate many pre¬ vailing grounds for misunder¬ standing.” The committee which was ap¬ pointed by Gray has contracted for radio announcements in sup¬ port of the week and may possi¬ bly present an assembly on the subject this Friday. At John Muir College the students have printed stickers which they are posting in conspicuous places throughout the city. Many other activities in regard to Brotherhood Week are being planned by schools through¬ out the state as the plan gets in¬ to full swing during its first year.
