Club Plans for UN
Week at Meeting
Last week the International Re¬
lations Club held its first meeting
of the year.
Under the leadership of the fac¬
ulty adviser, Dr. Harold Hansen,
plans were discussed for partici¬
pation in United Nations Week,
which will be the week of Octo¬
ber 19.
Presiding officers were Gunnar
Engen, president, and Beryl Case,
executive secretary. Officers elect-
d at the meeting were Eric Laud-
erer, vice-prexy; Joan McAvoy,
secretary; and Larry Hampton,
treasurer.
for its fine dance music, having
played at the Civic and many
other affairs here in Southern Cal¬
ifornia.
The dance will be held at the
San Marino Women's Club at
1800 Huntington Dr. from 9 till
12 midnight. As this is the same
time that the game with Weber
College is being played, the final
score will be telephoned to the
dance from Utah. This means
that with the time difference be¬
tween here and Utah, we should
know how the game ended by
about 9:30 p.m. Until then we
can only hope for good news.
Credit goes to Estella Alarid
for the decorations, to Clark
Herndon for getting out the bids
and overseeing the finances, to
Dick Peicich for the radio pub¬
licity on KPRS (PCC) and KLAC.
Extra credit is due Ginette Ben¬
immediate success. It is still list¬
ed as one of the best selling al¬
bums the company has.
Before joining with the Les
Brown band, which eventually led
to the formation of the octet,
Dave played with such name
groups as Bob Astor, Bobby Sher¬
wood, Tony Pastor and Bob Cros¬
by. Today, aside from the octet,
Dave is one of the most featured
sidemen with the Brown band.
With little Lucy Ann Polk to
handle the vocals, this should be
one of the best assemblies this
year.
Walter H. Judd
as a medical missionary in China
at the time the Communist men¬
ace was just beginning to make
itself apparent.
Early in 1942 Judd was elected
to the House of Representatives,
where he is now serving his sev¬
enth term.
It is indeed a privilege to have
the Hon. Walter H. Judd as a
speaker at the Tuesday Evening
Forum, and it is the opinion of
many that his speech will prove
to be the most outstanding of the
entire series.
Soph Council Meet
Brings Out Plans
Plans, plots and counter plans
were the order of the day last
Sunday when the Sophomore
Class Council met at Carol
Moore’s home. The plans under
discussion concerned the coming
Soph Class picnic which is begin¬
ning to grow into a- real produc¬
tion.
Aside from the discussion, the
council elected its officers for the
year. Elected vice-president was
Chuck VanDemark, secretary,
Rosalie Kern, and treasurer,
Leonard Metz.
SHALL WE TRY THAT NOTE AGAIN? . . . Shown above,

such preparations, this is one we will all enjoy.
Dave Pell Octet Heads
Lancers Third Assembly
The Dave Pell Octet and song stylist Lucy Ann Polk will
be the guests of PCC tomorrow when they appear here for
the third assembly of the year. Stepping right out of the
ranks of the Les Brown band, eight men, including Dave, have
formed a group which has won national acclaim for their mu¬
sic. Shortly after they formed in 1953, they were listed as
the best new combo of the year in
polls conducted by the Daily
News and the Mirror.
Last year Trend recorded an
LP of the octet which became an
Congressman Judd
to Speak on East
Situation at Forum
“United States Foreign Policy
in the Far East” will be the sub¬
ject of the Hon. Walter H. Judd,
member of the United States
House of Representatives; when
he speaks at the Tuesday Eve¬
ning Forum on October 11.
Dr. Judd is one of the world’s
most qualified persons to speak
on this topic as he was serving
son, social affairs commissioner,
who planned and coordinated the
entire production.
Dress for the dance will be
dressy sport for the boys and taf¬
fetas for the girls. As further
proof of the value of that little
ASB book that gets you into the
games, the dance will be free to
ASB members. Non-members will
be charged $1.50 per couple. Join
the mob, plan to have a good
time.
Support! It’s
Needed Now
This week and next the Com¬
munity Chest holds its annual
fund raising drive here on cam¬
pus.
There has always been the
problem of people needing help,
of one kind or another, and there
always will be. Sometimes they
need food and rent money, a de¬
cent place for children to play, or
wise counsel in time of trouble.
The Community Chest was
formed in the 19820’s to handle
all appeals for funds. By com¬
bining 37 health, welfare and
youth agencies, the Pasadena-
Altadena Community Chest to¬
day solicits funds in a single cam¬
paign to carry on the work of
its Red Feather agencies for an¬
other year.
When this annual appeal is
made each fall, you can be sure
that whatever money you are able
to give will be wisely spent by
carefully budgeted agencies.
