Zerbe To Read 'Zest,
Outrage '—Cummings
The zest, innocence, and out¬
rage of E. E. Cummings will be
heard here Friday, when actor
Anthonk Zerbe appears at noon
in Harbeson Hall.
This unusual presentation has
been arranged by Mrs. Norma
Sullivan, chairman of the English
Department Colloquium series.
According to Mrs. Sullivan,
Zerbe has selected from the plays,
non-lectures, introductions, and
poetry of E. E. Cummings an
hour-long recital of the poet’s “ab¬
surd, tender, bawdy, delicate, but
always original view of modern
man reaching for common pleas¬
ures and impossible cures.”
MBS. Sullivan added, “In a
world marred by hucksters, wars,
and narrow minds, Cummings
praises life and love. Young peo¬
ple especially like him. Or the
young at heart.”
Zerbe is a professional actor
currently appearing in the Mark
Taper Forum production of “The
Devils” in the Los Angeles Music
Center. He prepared his Cum¬
mings program while sitting
around movie sets.
“The Cummings program,” he
has said, “feeds my soul. The mo¬
vies finance my stage career.”
THAT career includes several
years in classical and modern rep-
Pipes of Pan'
Here Monday
“Pipes of Pan,” annual antholo¬
gy of student writing, goes on
sale next week.
The publication, sponsored by
PCC’s English Department, may
be purchased from members of
the English Council, or frpm the
department office, 109C.
The anthology is a project of
the creative writing class, English
5. The editorial staff is chosen
from the class, but the contribu¬
tions are solicited from the whole
student body.
The contents of “Pipes” reflect
an extremely wide range of stu¬
dent interest, from the “beat” po¬
etry to inspirational verse and
from literary criticism to “con¬
scientious objection,” with empha¬
sis on humor and the student’s
views of life.
The staff includes Sharon Scull,
editor; Tommy-Ann Miller, Craig
Smith, and Mark Benson, associ¬
ate editors. Ivan Jones, Fred
Hammond, and Norman Abbey
are the advisers.
Proceeds from the sale of
“Pipes” go toward departmental
honors and awards given at an
annual honors tea.
8 Students
Win Awards
California state scholarships
have been awarded to eight PCC
students.
Award winners include Roderic
McGuire, liberal arts major; Cath¬
erine Pavelka, history; Joseph
Genovese, engineering; Carol An¬
derson, history; George Galamba,
humanities; Henry Gelender, pre¬
medical; Kenton Hanson, engi¬
neering; and Raymond Stuehr-
mann, English.
Scholastic aptitude tests reveal
the students to be in the sixth
highest percentage of college ap¬
titude.
The awards range from $100 to
$1500, which are one-year awards
renewable until the student has
received a baccalaureate degree or
completed eight semesters beyond
high school.
ertory work in New York, Wash¬
ington, D.C., Milwaukee, Philadel¬
phia, and San Diego. After com¬
pleting various Shakespearean
roles in San Diego last summer,
he remained on the West Coast
to do films with Paul Newman in
“Cool Hand Luke” and Charlton
Heston in “Will Penney.” He has
also appeared in such TV shows
as “12 o’Clock High,” “Iron
Horse,” “Big Valley,” and “Naked
City.”
Although film and TV offer
some fame and much fortune,
Zerbe is a dedicated stage actor.
Hence he decided to spend the
long movie-set hours memorizing
Cummings.
He is turning down a stage role
in London and New York next
seeason in order to return to the
Old Globe in San Diego to act
Iago in their production of “Othel¬
lo.”
“THERE will always be London
and Broadway,” Zerbe said, “but
not always a chance to play Iago.
After all, it’s 100 lines longer than
Hamlet’s part.”
Zerbe has presented his E. E.
Cummings program at Cal State
Fullerton to an enthusiastic audi¬
ence, and will perform at San
Diego State and Sacramento State
Colleges, while continuing to ap¬
pear at the Mark Taper Forum.
After Friday’s program he will
remain in Harbeson Hall to talk
to students about movies, TV,
stage acting, preparing a role,
current American theater, poetry,
or how to get a job in the theater.
JC, High School Pep
Convention May 20
By Guy Goodenow
School spirit has always been a
dilemma, and at PCC it is no ex¬
ception. It is caused by a lack of
unity between the college and the
students.
Students from surrounding are¬
as of Pasadena often regard PCC
as a part of another community;
they do not have the spirit in col¬
lege that they had in high school.
Fortunately, our college has a
Talk Slated on
Marine Mammals

president of Marineland, will

show a film on the subject next
Thursday, May 4, at 7:30 p.m. in
Harbeson Hall.
PCC’s Life Sciences Depart¬
ment is sponsoring the program.
Prescott will cover such sub¬
jects as capture, behavior, and in¬
telligence of porpoises, whales,
and seals.
recognized Pep Commission,
which is solely devoted to the
task of increasing school spirit.
The group will stage a Pep Con¬
vention, May 20 from 8:45 a.m. to

spirit and to get students inter¬
ested in school sport events.
Attending the Pep Convention
will be 250 to 300 high school and
junior college students from sur¬
rounding areas. Purpose will be
to hold discussions on ways of
improving school spirit and school
relations.

cheerleaders, pep organizations,
song girls, flag girls, baton twirl-
ers, and homecoming. Refresh¬
ments will be served in the cafe¬

To aid school spirit, song girl
and cheerleader tryouts will be
held next Monday, May 1, at 3:30
p.m., in Harbeson Hall. Winners
will include six song girls and two
alternates as well as five cheer¬

If you don’t care about school
spirit, pep, and sports events, we
recommend that you become en¬
thusiastic by attending the song
girl, cheerleader tryouts and the
Pep Convention.

Representatives from junior
colleges throughout the state met
at the annual California Junior
College Association Spring Con¬
ference last weekend at the Inter¬
national Hotel.
The conference, originated by
PCC several years ago, is design¬
ed to allow student government
leaders from participating col¬
leges to discuss mutual problems
and to arrive at possible solutions.
These are later presented to the
college presidents or the State
Legislature.
Workshops, which serve as
forums for discussion, are an in¬
tegral part of the program. Each
The Phil Robinson Public
Speaking Contest will be held
on May 9 in 30C, the Little Thea¬
ter.
The contest was started several
years ago as a memorial to their
son by the parents of a student
who was fatally injured in an ac¬
cident on campus. The contest
serves to encourage more atten¬
tion to dangerous conditions, mor¬
al or physical. Those who enter
suggest ways to improve danger¬
ous conditions, and to give experi¬
ence to those students interested
in public speaking.
Subjects for the speech must be
“Problems of Safety in Student
Life.” The time limit is five to
six minutes. The speeches will be
judged by faculty members. Judg¬
ing will be based on content of
speech, delivery, organization, and
language selection. Originality
and presentation also count.
Students not in speech classes
who wish to enter must notify
Benjamin Marshall, 20C, before
next Monday, May 1. Eliminations
begin Wednesday, May 3.

college sends five representatives
who participate in all phases of
the conference.
REPRESENTATIVES from
PCC included Emily Vezerian,
who attended the workshop on or¬
ganizations; Terry Moore, stu¬
dent body president workshop;
Ron Thee, mandatory ASB card
and tuition workshops; and Tim
Price, changing-student workshop.
Other PCC representatives were
John Holder, past ASB president,
and John Middlebrook. Holder
was a workshop chairman and
Middlebrook is the state treasurer
of CJCA. S. Luke Curtis, dean of
student activities, also attended.
Besides the workshops, other
activities included a get-acquaint¬
ed dance Thursday night and var¬
ious speakers on subjects import¬
ant to the conference representa¬
tives.
RESOLUTIONS made at the
conference are referred to the
college president or the State
Legislature. Usually resolutions
that affect the state code are sent
to the legislature and those that
can be handled by the individual
colleges go to the preesidents.
Resolutions passed have no
binding power but are dependent
on the decisions of the authorities.
Delegates act in advisory capaci¬
ties only.
In the past, resolutions have
been acted upon and many prob¬
lems affecting California junior
colleges have been solved through
these conferences.
