Music, Talks Salute li
October 18-24 has been designated as United Nations
Week, and several Pasadena City College activities have
been scheduled to honor the international peace organi¬
zation.
A special Campus Artist Series program will be
held in Harbeson Hall at 12:10 p.m. tomorrow, and will
be composed of music of many lands. The program will
be presented by the man-and-wife team of Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Renton, who have visited many countries repre¬
sented in the United Nations.
Mrs. Renton, the former Dorothy Sayles, is a gradu¬
ate of Pasadena City College, and was active in music
activities while here. A lyric soprano, she is also an
organist for the Civic Chorus and Orchestra. Renton
is a lyric tenor.
The Rentons spent two years studying and singing
in Europe, six months under the sponsorship of the
government and three months in study at the famous
music conservatiry, the Salzburg Mozartium. They have
traveled in England, Scotland, and France, where they
learned many folk songs, some of which will be heard
on the program.
In a statement on the importance of international
relations, Claudia Drumm, president of the college Inter¬
national Club, points out that the problem of achieving
cooperation between the nations of the word lies with
each individual rather than with diplomats.
Social science students at PCC are observing United
Nations week with a varied program of activities. Yes¬
terday, Professor Horace Gilman, of the California Insti¬
tute of Technology, spoke to the classes on racial devel¬
opments in Germany, a country in which he traveled last
year. Gilman is an instructor in economics at Caltech.
Today, Col. H. A. Finch, retired United States Army
officer, state treasurer of the American Association for
the United Nations and treasurer of the local chap¬
ter, will speak on the world peace organization. Colonel
Finch is well-versed on the United Nations, as he has
spent considerable time studying the organization and.
has collected a vast amount of material on the subject.
Tomorrow, motion pictures dealing with United
Nations topics will be shown in social science classes
throughout the day.
