Foreign Pupils to Lead in Giving Thanks
Key students to the future of their country’s thought
and action will headline next Friday’s assembly. The
Campus “Y” will present international students now
studying in the United States universities as well as
local students who have experienced student life in other
countries.
Taking part in Friday’s assembly will be Chukue-
meka Okeke, Nigerian students who is a candidate for
the doctor of philosophy degree at USC and an authority
on Africa today. Ali Wassel, popular Indian student
now studying at UCLA, will point up the importance of
the student in the East Asian University today. Vic
Hockie, recognized for his “pep-leading” ability at UCLA,
will give his views of an American in an Asian univer¬
sity since he was a member of the 1953 Project India
from the University Religious Conference at UCLA.
World University Service, which is operating in 43
free countries of the world for mutual self help among
students, is. the successor to the well-known WSSF which
has been a popular PCC fund raising event through the
years. Self help projects have aided students without
books and other technical equipment to acquire that
equipment and with the money they raise to buy their
own books, they in turn help another college to a posi¬
tive self help program. Burt Bishop, “Y” executive sec¬
retary, stated that “Though education in the realm of
the community of students around the world is a pri-
mary^aim, money sent from American colleges comes
back both in the knowledge of a good deed, well done,
and in the person of international students who are pre¬
pared fpr graduate medical or educational training in
our own US universities by such self help projects over¬
seas.”
Special music, with an international Thanksgiving note
is planned for the special assembly.

hr Additional Funds
An addition of $500 to funds already allocated is neces¬
sary before Pasadena Gity College can have the caliber year¬
book to which it is accustomed, according to Glenn Carrothers,
editor of the 1954 Campus. Without the addition to the book’s
financial balance, the general -
quality of the product will have
to be lowered, including cutting
the number of pages and the use
of a cheaper type of cover.
Carrothers, who has officially
requested the additional funds
from the Associated Student
Body, gave rising costs of gen¬
eral production as the reason for
the fund lack. He pointed out that
the yearbook allotment was not
increased this year.
The request for the funds was
made to Associated Student Body
Commissioner of Finance Bob
Cornelison, who is expected to
bring the matter to the attention
of the Board of Representatives
at an early meeting.

One hundred smartly styled

ing used for the first time in the
Rose Parade on New Year’s Day.
Supplying the uniforms to the
Associated Student Body, official
school purchasing agent, is the
House of Craddock, nationally-
known manufacturer of frater¬
nal and military costumes, lo¬
cated in Kansas City, Mo. The
order was placed through Marc

which has uniformed many of the
top bands in the nation. Accord¬
ing to Bob Cornelison, ASB com¬
missioner of finance, the total
cost of the outfits is $7000, a por¬
tion of which is the band’s reg¬
ular uniform allotment.
According to Robert Fluery,
director of the nationally-known
musical organization, the uni¬
forms are of .a modified West
Point style, especially designed
for the Bulldog Band. They are
basically red, with white and gold
trim. The hats are of a flat-top
style, and include a modern-
styled red feather plume, design¬
ed to give an additional foot to
the height of each bandsman.
The band will also wear white
gloves and shoes on dress occa¬
sions.
Included in the order are a spe¬
cial uniform for the band direc¬
tor and an elaborate costume for
the drum major.
Ait Editorial
The cast and crew of the drama department’s produc¬
tion of Shaw’s “Pygmalion” were delivered a stinging insult
at last Friday’s assembly performance of the play.
The most unfavorable of circumstances forced Lois
Johnson, a member of the cast, to step from character and
to request that the student audience show a bit of respect
for those performing on the stage.
It is the opinion of the editor of this newspaper that
Miss Johnson took the only correct and honorable course
of action, and her courage did have a marked effect upon
the thoughtless attitude of her audience.
It is indeed unfortunate that the lack of courtesy upon
the part of a few spoiled the excellent production for so
many! Dick Anderson
