Delegates Journey to 1965 Model UN
Thirteen PCC students will represent Mexico in the
Model United Nations today through Saturday at Clare¬
mont Men’s College. They will oppose admission of Red
China and protest the apartheid racial policy of the
Republic of South Africa.
Mike Harwood will preside over the delegation, com¬
posed of members of the International Relations Club
and other interested Lancers. Dr. Harold A. Hansen,
associate professor of social science and club adviser, will
accompany them.
Delegates representing the leading Latin American
nation are Jose Mercade, Jr., Nancy Mangum, Paul Mar¬
kowitz, Nigel Stevenson, Mary Perlman, Darrel Welshams,
Lloyda Estwick, Bill McLinn, Irma Robledo, Dennis
Thompson, and Javad Khalizadeh.
This session marks the fifteenth annual MUN, which
in most respects parallels the United Nations. The col¬
lege has participated in all of these gatherings.
World prominent speakers, including the under-secre¬
tary of the UN Dr. Ralph Bunche, will address Far West
MUN delegates from colleges in 11 western states includ¬
ing Hawaii.
Representatives are preparing for discussions of gen¬
eral and complete disarmament, admission of Red China
to the UN, apartheid policies in South Africa, and review
of the UN Charter.
The PCC group has introduced a resolution calling
for the secretary-general to investigate possibilities of an
international Peace Corps run by the UN.
On March 6, several members represented Mexico
in the regional conference at Fullerton College.
Students will provide their own transportation. They
are also contributing to the expenses of the trip, the
major part of which has been underwritten by the ASB.
Community organizations also are helping.
According to Mercade, a Cuban exile in his first year
at the college, discussion at last year’s session over the
Peoples Republic of China, and whether or not it should
be officially recognized in the world organization, was
anything but lukewarm. He said he believes the
Model United Nations will admit Red China in
this session.

PCC Counselor
Gets Surgery
After 70 Ft. Fall
Successful surgery was per¬
formed last week on Russell R.
Mohn, PCC counselor, who fell 70
feet from a trail in the San Ga-
griel Mountains March 14.
Mohn underwent the operation
at St. Luke Hospital, Pasadena.
Doctors set pins and attached a
bone fragment in his fractured
left thigh.
His wife reported that he was
out of traction and that treatment
required no cast on the leg. How¬
ever, she said he was experiencing
much pain. He also suffered a
fracture of the right wrist.
Mohn, who serves as adviser to
the Highlanders, student moun¬
taineering club, was checking
storm damage to the path with a
companion when the accident oc¬
curred. Rescue was accomplished
by helicopter which flew him to
St. Luke.
Blood donations, to replenish
supplies used in the several trans¬
fusions, are still needed. Donors
should assign blood to the St.
James Methodist Church, Pasa¬
dena, in Mohn’s name.
ASB Offers $25 Prize
for Fight Song Theme
A cash prize of $25 is being offered by the ASB Board
and Cabinet to any Lancer who writes the best fight song for
use at all football games next year and in the future. The stu¬
dent or students who submit the best song will also become
part of the history of PCC as the
work will become a tradition at
the college.
According to Music Commis¬
sioner Bill Frenzel, “PCC has no
official fight song at the present
time, so we are urging students
to enter the contest.”
The text of the song should re¬
fer to the school and should be
accompanied by a singable tune.
Entries must be turned in to
the Music Department office,
111C, or the Campus Center by
April 30.
The entries will be judged by a
panel made up of Dr. Robert
Fleury, chairman of the Music De¬
partment; William Benulis, har¬
monist on the staff of the Music
Department; and Daniel Hiestand,
Jr., director of the Lancer Band.
In addition to these faculty
members, the presidents of the
Freshman and Sophomore Classes
and the commissioner of music
will take part in the judging.
The new lyrics will be published
in next fall’s Student Handbook
along with the traditional Lancer
songs, such as the PCC alma
mater.

Civil Rights Problems at
Social Science Seminar
“The Unanswered Questions,” a
seminar designed to continue the
dialog on Selma, Ala., will be pre¬
sented by the Social Science De¬
partment, Friday, in 200C from
noon to 2 p.m.
PCC teachers Alberta Craggett,
Helen Barnes, and Barbara Mac-
Vicar will participate in a panel
moderated by Dr. Jerome Wolf.
The group will hopefully act as
a catalyst for an open discussion
in which the audience will air
their views on civil rights and the
Negro.
“It is only through such a con¬
tinuing dialog that the education¬
al process will be advanced,” Dr.
Wolf said.
All students and faculty mem¬
bers are invited.
