Annua 1 Carnival
Months of planning will become
evident next week as OMD stages
the largest event of the year at
Pasadena City College, its 34th
annual Carnival.
The Carnival has been held ev¬
ery year, except for three years
during World War II, since 1928.
Past themes have ranged from
■‘Border Town Days in Deadwood
Diggin’s” in which the queen wore
a dress originally designed for
Mae West, to a “A Toyland,” the
tenth anniversary carnival that
ran for two days and two nights.
“A GLOBAL Affair” will theme
this year’s carnival. Winning $10
for his guess of the carnival’s
title is Andy Lerner. The “Af¬
fair” will be preceded by several
other OMD projects. The carni¬
val queen contest begins tomor¬
row. Representing different de¬
partments at PCC, the queen con¬
testants are Cathy Sailar, Bette
Holmes, Sheri Emond, Carol Hall,
Chris Anderson, Kay Strong, Di¬
ane Button, Diktra Wulfkuhle,
Patsy Owens, and Gwen Gum.
A week before the carnival,
hats representing cultures from
all over the world will be sold by
OMD. International students will
wear their native costumes to
classes.
“A Global Affair,” a movie star¬
ring Bob Hope, will be shown in
Sexson Auditorium May 6 and 7.
The carnival itself will begin
Friday evening, May 8, at 6 p.m.
There will be 31 booths following
the global theme. Gypsy fortune
tellers will be there as well as
pizza salesmen and Beatle Bag¬
gers.
HIGHLIGHTS of the evening
will be the crowning of the carn¬
ival queen and the Whiskerino
judging and shave-off. After the
shaveoff, the Whiskerino winners
will receive their prizes, razors,
from the queen who will in turn
receive a Lady Remington from
the Remington-Rand Co.
The Whiskerino entrant who
can show only peach fuzz for his
efforts will get a consolation prize
of five pounds of peaches from
the Jurgensen Grocery Co.
Speaking Contest
Considers Campus
Safety Conditions
The Phil Robinson Public
Speaking Contest will be held
next week in the Little Theater,
the preliminary contest on May
4, and the finals on May 7.
The contest is sponsored by Mr.
and Mrs. P. B. Robinson, whose
son, a PCC student, died several
years ago. The speaking topic is
safety.

point up conditions on campus
which are dangerous to students
either physically or morally. The
contest also serves as a place for
students interested in public
speaking to gain experience.

body is eligible. Prizes totaling
$60 will be awarded to the win¬
ners. For further information on
entering the contest, one may

life science teacher Louis Riess
refuted charges leveled at the
Pasadena Board of Education and
the Pasadena Education Associa¬
tion by Harley Hiscox, executive
secretary of the Foothills Federa¬
tion of Teachers, the nearby AFT
local. The trio also unfavorably
contrasted AFT with PEA, a pro¬
fessional group affiliated with
the California Teachers Associa¬
tion and representing about 90
per cent of Pasadena Teachers.
All three letters are printed
in full on page two.
Riess, chairman of the campus
PEA Representative Council, de¬
nied Hiscox’s charges that teach¬
ers are afraid to disagree with
administrators at PEA meetings.
“This type of fear wouldn’t be
part of the personal make-up of
any man or woman who had truly
earned the right to be a teacher,”
Riess said.
Baum and Bair, second vice-
president of PEA, alleged that
PEA, rather than AFT, has been
the major force working on be¬
half of local teachers.
Baum took issue with Hiscox’s
inference that the Pasadena Board
of Education is incompetent. His¬
cox had questioned the ability of
a “tire dealer, a medical doctor,
and a housewife” to determine
school curricula. Baum replied
that the board is “well qualified
for their specific job, that of rep¬
resenting the public of Pasadena,
a necessary part of local school
control.”
