Mich. Eight hundred delegates
representing colleges and junior
colleges from 36 of the 48 states
were present at the Detroit Hotel

position of the public relations di¬
vision of a large corporation was
given.. That evening there was a
banquet at the Hotel Staffer
where noted author and play¬
wright Max Shulman spoke on
"So You Want to be a Writer,
You Fool, You!”
John Christie, executive editor
of the Courier, reports that the
highlights of the convention in¬
cluded a speech by Royce Howes,
the Pulitzer prize winning editor
of the Detroit Free Press, as well
as the many workshop sessions
and the editors’ panels.
It is the opinion of John that
duced by the Pasadena City Col¬
lege Theater Arts Association,
“Papa Is All” will play the boards
of the Little Theater in 30C for a
total of five performances.
Taking the lead is Marilyn Wal¬
ker, a veteran thespian who
studied drama for one year at the
University of Southern California
dnd has played summer stock.
Miss Walker will play the role of
Mama, a gentle, sturdy woman of
deep-lying religious convictions.
Arlen Haffner, also experienced
in dramatics, is to play the part
of Papa.
Experienced Cast
Completing the cast are Emma,
20-year-old daughter of the fami¬
ly, played by Claudette Conner,
and Jake, 18-year-old son, played
by Bob Bruce. Freda Dringen-
berg is Mrs. Yader, a rattle-head¬
ed neighbor noted for her ability
to spread news quickly, and Jim
Stewart is State Trooper Brendle.
Eloise Taylor is student director
for the play.
Family Revolt
The story is concerned with a
Mennonite family who revolt
against the demonical strictness
of the father. Inventing, the chief
pux-suit of Jake, the son, causes
much anger on the father's part,
but the real conflict is the result
of the daughter falling in love
with a surveyor. Papa swears to
kill the surveyor, and the result
of his resolution is disclosed In
the play.
Written by Patterson Green,
Los Angeles Times columnist, the
play was recently enacted for tele¬
vision audiences. In 1943 it ran
on Broadway, starring Celeste
Holm.
One Range Needed
Costumes for the drama have
been designed by Freda Dringen-
berg, and Joan Burns and Cindy
Marcos are in the process of mak¬
ing them. Stage manager is Ike
Ogilvie. Properties have been col¬
lected, but props committee mem¬
bers are still looking for an old
fashioned kitchen coal range, and
a cistern pump.

ber 29 through December 2, and

According to Mr. Liercke, audi¬
ences increase toward the end of
the play’s run, and to avoid being
turned away, students should
plan to attend during the first
days of the week.
the precedent set this year in
sending him to this conference
should be followed in the future,
as the experiences and training
an editor receives at such a con¬
ference will be reflected in the
college paper.
Tuberculosis Association's Mobile X-ray
Offers Early Detection for Protection
Due to the contagious nature of tuberculosis, the best method
of combatting it is the early discovery and treatment of the disease.
The Pasadena Tuberculosis Association has at its disposal the most
effective agent known for discovery of the germ. Their mobile chest
X-,ray units have done the community a great service in this field, even
in the face of rising infection.
One of the ways that we can make their job easier in the future
is to have a yearly chest X-ray and at the same time contribute to
them to help in their work. The other way to help them, as well as
ourselves, is to pay all you can afford for the packet of Christmas
seals that you will receive. Checks should be made out to The Pasa¬
dena Tuberculosis Association, as this organization receives no funds
from the Community Chest or other united fund raising organizations.
Their mobile unit will be stationed at the gym from 8 till 2 on
November 28-30, and at the Bookstore from 6:30 till 8:30, November
28-29, for the Extended Day students.
