The International Student Com¬
mission, in cooperation with other
student groups, will sponsor a
dance, an open house, baseball
and soccer games, films, and a
Mix ’n’ Mingle between Friday
and Wednesday, April 15.
“THE FUN is for everyone,”
said ISC President Hiro Ochi, “be¬
cause international students are
anxious to get acquainted with
everyone at PCC.”
Friday’s International Dance
will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Cam¬
pus Lounge, and last until mid¬
night. ISC and the International
Club are co-sponsors.
Saturday’s schedule will feature

their American peers. ISC pre¬
sents the activities in cooperation
with the Varsity Club and Athletic
Commission.

house, will present exhibits, tal¬
ent, and refreshments of native
lands in the Faculty and Student

Patio the following day will con¬
clude the International Week ac¬
tivities.
Athenians Submit
Charter to ICC
Members of the newly-organ¬
ized Athenians Club will submit
their constitution to the Inter-
Club Council Friday for approval.
The group’s charter proposes to
“create an awareness of under¬
standing between student govern¬
ment and the student body” and
to “improve . . . understanding
between student government ac¬
tivities and represented views of
the student body.”
Athenian Chairman Pro Tem¬
pore Jim Scavetta claims wide¬
spread support for the “grass¬
roots” nature of the Athenians
group as a “link” and unofficial
“pressure group” working be¬
tween the ASB and students.
“There is a need for a club of
this kind, existing outside the
official framework and direct con¬
trol of ASB,” he said. “Once our
constitution is approved, we can
forget the red tape and get to
work encouraging better student
government and building a better
student body.”
Clubs Convene
Most campus clubs will meet
tomorrow during the noon hour.
Many clubs will welcome atten¬
dance of inquiring non-members
at their meetings. The Student
Activities Office will provide
interested students with infor¬
mation on the location of club
meetings.
Adventurer Joins Trio
in Informative Lectures
A trio of informative speakers will bring news and views to the
campus during the coming week.
Popular explorer-lecturer John Goddard will encore, with slides
and comments on the Congo. Dr. James Peterson, noted sociologist,
will discuss the clinical approach to choosing a mate. Lt. Ronald P.
Cope, USN, will speak on nuclear power development in Antarctica
from his personal on-the-spot experience.
PCC will host the 37th annual Faraday Lecture and Dinner in
Sexson Auditorium tomorrow with Lt. Cope speaking on “Nuclear
Power in Antartica.”
IN CONNECTION with the lecture an annual note-taking contest
will be held for neighboring high school and junior high school stu¬
dents.
“The idea for this contest was inspired by the example of Michael
Faraday, as a young man, taking notes on a lecture by Sir Humphrey
Davy and thereby receiving a stimulus toward a great scientific ca¬
reer,” said Dr. Norman Juster, chairman of the Faraday Lecture Com¬
mittee.
Before the lecture there will be a dinner in the faculty dining
room at 6:30 with Cope as the guest of honor.
STARTING at 8 p.m., the lecture is open to all interested students
and other individuals. Cope is stationed at the U.S. Naval Nuclear
Power Unit, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. He was formerly in charge of the
PM
Nuclear Powerplant at McMurdo Station, Antarctica.
Dr. Peterson will speak on “Choosing a Life Partner” at the
Health Education Assembly next Tuesday, April 14 at noon in Sexson
Auditorium.
Dr. Peterson is currently chairman of the sociology department
and head of the marriage counseling training program at the Univer¬
sity of Southern California.
HE HAS had much success as a writer with such books as “Educa¬
tion for Marriage,” which appeared in January of 1956.
Peterson also serves as the executive director of one of the out¬
standing family counseling clinics in the west.
The assembly is required for all students in health education
classes, and all other students and faculty are welcome.
GODDARD’S presentation Tuesday, April 14, at 8 p.m. in Sexson
Auditorium, will benefit the Faculty Association’s “Dollars for Schol¬
ars” project. “Congo Conquest,* his latest film, documents the ex¬
plorer’s adventures and experiences following the 2750-mile Congo
River through the African heartland.
Tickets may be purchased at the PCC Campus Bank, SY 3-4528.
local Speakers Take
State Tourney Prizes
Four Lancer debaters will com¬
pete in the Phi Rho Pi National
Debate Tournament in Wilburton,
Oklahoma, this weekend.
Connie Chaney, Kevin Fishburn,
Marty Paskov, and Bud Zeuschner
qualified for the nationals by
their award-winning perfor¬
mances at the recent National
Forensic League Junior College
Championships at Bakersfield.
PCC finished fourth in total
points among 73 schools at the
statewide meet.
Whiskerino Offers
Peaches, Shavers
Peaches and electric razors
await the winners of the OMD
sponsored Whiskerino beard¬
growing contest. Student leaders
this week concluded an agreement
with a shaver distributor and a
market to supply the prizes.
Sixteen Lancers — fifteen males,
one female, yes, female — hope to
raise enough fur on their faces
to win the shavers. The peaches
will serve as consolation prizes
for those who can sustain only
peach fuzz on their chins. Mary
Spawr, the female entrant, seems
to be leading in this category,
according to OMD sources.
Winners will bow at the OMD
Carnival in three weeks. Judges
will determine winners on the
basis of length and thickness of
beard, and softness and pliability
of peach fuzz.
‘Library Week’
Begins Monday
In observance of the importance
of books and libraries, National
Library Week has been pro¬
claimed from April 12-18. The
theme this year is “Reading is the
Key,” and the PCC library fea¬
tures a display on this topic.
It was the late President Ken¬
nedy who said that “good libraries
are essential to an educated and
informed people as the school sys¬
tem itself. The library is not only
the custodian of our cultural heri¬
tage but the key to progress and
the advancement of knowledge.”
PASKOV and Zeuschner
crowned the PCC effort when, as
a team, they earned a first place
rating by the judges in their final
debate against San Bernardino. A
second-place trophy went to the
Lancer duo for their overall per¬
formance.
Miss Chaney talked her way to
a fourth place all-state rating in
women’s impromptu speaking.
She also garnered a “superior”
citation in the same category.
Fishburn, entered in the men’s
interpretation category, won a
“superior” citation. A fifth squad
member, Jim Taylor, was rated
“excellent” in men’s extempora¬
neous speaking, but did not quali¬
fy for nationals.
PASKOV and Zeuschner were
also winners in other categories.
Zeuschner was awarded “excel¬
lent” citations in men’s im¬
promptu and men’s extempo¬
raneous, and his colleague re¬
ceived “superior” awards for
men’s extemporaneous and
oratory.
Cumulative point winners,
ahead of fourth place PCC, were
Cerritos, Bakersfield, and San
Bernardino Junior Colleges, first,
second, and third, respectively.
Budgets Due
Every club or organization on
campus who plans on using
ASB funds next year should
pick up their budget request
forms from Mrs. Shirley Lad-
dish in the Campus Center. Ac¬
cording to Finance Commis¬
sioner John Weingarten, no club
will be allotted monies in the
new budget without petitioning
for it.
