Students to Select Gay Nineties Queen
Keynote Policy Speaker
Hits lack of leadership’
PCC CouAieSi
Continuing the theme of four informed and explosive
speakers, PCC’s delegates to the seventh annual Student
World Affairs Conference entered into debates and seminars
at the University of California at Berkeley. The major ad¬
dress was made by Louis J. Halle, -
VOL. 4, NO. 10
PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
APRIL 25, 1956
Jr., research professor at the Uni¬
versity of Virginia, who has serv¬
ed many years as assistant and
consultant to the federal govern¬
ment as a background for his
statements and observations.
The purely objective and aca¬
demic tone of the speeches was
one of the sparks that kept the
conference in a continuous
state of intense debate and stu¬
dent participation.
Dr. Raymond J. Sontag, Uni¬
versity of California professor,
was the first speaker due to a
late arrival of the keynote speak¬
er. In his address he stated the
history and problems facing the
United States. He pointed out
that one of our problems is to
“face the fact that the Soviet pol¬
icy remains the same even though
the outward appearances change.”
In closing his speech Dr. Sontag
stated, “I feel we can win the
fight but we could also lose, and
if we lose we deserve to lose.”
In the major address of Pro¬
fessor Halle he stated general¬
ly, that our policy was inade¬
quate and behind times, as well
as being unrealistic. Specifical¬
ly he stated that “in the last
six years there has been no ad¬
equate leadership in our foreign
policy.” v
Following this he enumerated
four items that we must under¬
stand in the conduct of foreign
relations: (1) Foreign policy can¬
not be separated from domestic
policy; (2) What we do on the do¬
mestic scene may influence our
foreign relations; (3) The day is
here when domestic issues must
be subordinated because of for¬
eign responsibilities; and (4)
These things pose as a challenge
to democracy that can be met on¬
ly if there is agreement between
leaders and followers.
Statements were made, such
as: “We must submit evidence
to other nations that our inter¬
ests are harmonious with their
interests,” by Professor Charles
M. Hulten of Berkeley. “Re¬
sponsibility has increased while
public knowledge remained con¬
stant,” and “American foreign
policy is an expression of Amer¬
ican public opinion,” and “Our
foreign policy needs a more in¬
telligent followership,” by Pro¬
fessor Eric C. Bfellqulst of Ber¬
keley.
The smooth running and oper¬
ation of the conference was the
result of great effort on the part
of the professional foreign serv¬
ice fraternity, Epsilon chapter of
Delta Phi Epsilon. Also aiding in
this capacity were the associated
students of the University of Cal¬
ifornia and the Student World Af¬
fairs Council of Northern Cali¬
fornia.

•Congrats, PHS

high school and the college to
ignore each other’s activities,
we of the Courier staff wish to
break the precedent for once
and congratulate all the teach¬
ers and students responsible

doon.” The cooperation and
spirit displayed in this presen¬
tation are a credit to the high

Trip to Dollar Lake
Set for Highlanders
Now that the fishing season is
open and lakes are loaded with
fish, the Highlanders, PCC’s hik¬
ing club, are making plans to hike
to Dollar Lake. They will leave at
8 a.m. sharp from the school
parking lot on Sunday, April 29,
and will return that evening.
Driving distance to Dollar
Lake is about 150 miles from
Pasadena and the walking dis¬
tance is about seven miles for
the hikers. The lake is located
to the south of the Camp An-
gelus-Barton Flats area. It is
one of the few natural South¬
ern California mountain lakes,
being fed by underwater
springs which maintain a con¬
stant year-around water level.
If the weather is cold, the lake
may be frozen over.

one the most successful ever.
A “Gay Nineties” theme will be
followed with derbies and han¬
dlebar mustaches in abundance.
They will be sold by OMD.
Booths of all kinds will feature
the theme. Root beer parlors, gar¬
ter tosses, marriage and divorce
booths, tomato and sponge throws
are only a few of the amuse¬
ments the Carnival will offer.
The crowning of the queen and
the dancing of a group of lus¬
cious, lovely and bee-yootiful can¬
can girls sponsored by the Inter¬
club Council will highlight the
evening.

with their pennies for the girl of
their choice. Coin jars will be
