Oral contest
urges safety
As a memorial to their son, who
was accidentally killed on the
Pasadena City College campus
several years ago, Mr. and Mrs.
P. B. Robinson will again spon¬
sor the Phil Robinson Safety
Speech Contest on April 28 at
PCC.
The theme of the contest, “Safe¬
ty for College Students,” serves
to call attention to conditions
which exist on college campuses
that are dangerous both morally
and physically.
The competition, which begins
with the preliminaries April 25,
provides an opportunity for stu¬
dents to devise and suggest new *
ways to improve these conditions,
and also serves as a place for
those interested to gain experi¬
ence in public speaking.
Contest rules state that speech¬
es should range between five and
six minutes in length, and cover
either moral or physical safety
problems. The talks should be de¬
livered in a simple, sincere con¬
versational manner and will be
judged on organization, originali¬
ty, and presentation.
Any member of the Associated
Student Body is eligible to com¬
pete in the contest, and prizes
totaling $60 will be awarded to
the winners. Students not enroll¬
ed in speech classes should see
Benjamin M. Marshall in 6C for
further information. _

Fleury, will give a concert at Ala¬
mo Stadium. Later, they will
march in two parades.
The band has had to raise its
own expense money for the trip
as no outside help was forth¬
coming. Still short of their $5000
goal, they will hold a money¬
raising breakfast Saturday morn¬
ing from 7-11 on the top level
parking lot of J. W. Robinson
Co. The price is $1.
According to band president
Larry Dominguez, “this is not
only a good opportunity for the
band, but also provides an excel¬
lent representation of the college.”
