' Royal Gambit ' Opens;
Brute JI/ItGuire Stars
By Paul Taylor
There was a bare stage with one
girl wrapped in a varicolored
costume which looked like an
apron. She walked back and
forth across the stage making
gestures and moving her lips,
while from the back of the room
there came a sound of normal
conversation clashing in the air
with the sound of lines being run
over for perhaps the hundredth
time.
This was the scene that greeted
me as I attended the rehearsal of
the coming play, “Royal Gam¬
bit.”
The call of “Places” went out,
and the joking that had been go¬
ing on stopped while the actors
prepared themselves to drop the
roles of being average students
and becoming their stage selves.
House lights dimmed and mu¬
sic issued from the speakers. The
curtain went up and the play be¬
gan. There was no scenery, but
the actors projected themselves
into the roles and one’s imagina¬
tion took over making the addi¬
tion of scenery mere frosting on
the cake.
When the rehearsal ended after
two hours of exhausting work,
Donald Ewing, director, read over
his notes and pointed out little
things that had escaped my un¬
initiated eyes. I was amazed at
the great attention paid to little
details such as gestures, stance,
and nuances of voice that were
necessary to the mood of the play.
Bruce McGuire, who plays
Henry the VIII and is the only
male in the play, says he feels
his role is complex and interest¬
ing; he is quite fascinated with
Henry.
Margaret Markov, who plays
Ann Boleyn, displays great admir¬
ation for the catty, haughty, and
tragic character she is portray¬
ing. The other players are also
involved in their roles including
Jill Pipkin, who plays Jane Sey¬
mour, feels pity for Henry’s un¬
fortunate third wife.
The enthusiasm is not only con¬
fined to those on the stage; it also
has affected the technical crew.
Steve Zirbel, who works on the
sound, put in long hours search¬
ing over many recordings to find
the proper music to fit the moods
of the play.
Stage manager, Gordon Balin-
ger waxes enthusiastically over
the message of the dilemma of
modern man that the play con¬
veys.
After sitting through two re¬
hearsals and getting the attitudes
of the players, I can appreciate
their enthusiasm and the efforts
they have made to make this a
worthwhile production.
This is not a review, but an at¬
tempt to give a picture of a very
dedicated group that deserve rec¬
ognition. It is up to the spectator
to decide the artistic merits of
the play when it opened December
6 for a four-day run.
Foreign Language Convocation
Covers Career Opportunities
A seven-member panel calmly
clashed over the controversial
subject of the best languages to
combine, and career possibilities
for language majors at the second
Foreign Language Convocation,
Dec. 1 in the student dining
room.
The State Department has open¬
ings in the diplomatic corps for
the language major, but requires
the applicant to have his bache¬
lor’s degree.
Army security offers attache’
and intelligence duty if a person
knows a foreign language.
There is a desperate need for
languages in elementary educa¬
tion.
Women can find unlimited suc¬
cess as airline stewardesses and
secretaries if they can converse
freely in Spanish, Russian, or
other languages.
But no matter what one’s major
is, a language always comes in
handy. When an American goes
abroad, he usually has no trouble
finding a European with some
knowledge of English, but when
that European comes to America,
he wants to find the same situa¬
tion.
In his summary, Leslie Koltai,
department chairman, pointed
out that there must be a balance
between oral and written study.
Too many people, he said, con¬
centrate on writing, and then
panic when they have to speak.
He hoped students won’t say what
Mark Twain did when he went
abroad: “I studied French in the
U.S., but, funny, they don’t speak
it in France.”
Koltai also announced the ge-
ginning of new and unusual pro¬
grams for the spring semester.
Students will be able to take a
10 hour a week, eight unit course
in either French, German, or
Spanish, and thus complete two
semesters in one.
There will be a course in Span¬
ish for law enforcement officers.
Besides Arabic, the summer
session will offer Latin for the
first time.
TICKETS ANYONE? — Donna Edwards, Miss Junior Rose Bowl,
gives a ticket for Saturday's game to Maria Cecilia DuPree, Miss
Mexico. Miss DuPree, a freshman at PCC, is majoring in psy¬
chology.
Pageant Surveys Student
of Photographs
Last year’s editor, Larry Har¬
ris, filled in the individual picture
section with candids and he had
721 pictures to work with, 401
more than this year. Even so, 721
individual pictures on 32 pages
was hardly worth the price it
cost, $1,275.
Many colleges eliminate indi¬
vidual pictures, placing more em¬
phasis on clubs, sports, and ac¬
tivities. If the results of the sur¬
vey show that this is what stu¬
dents want this year at PCC, the
Pageant staff will return the $2.30
to those who have had their pic¬
tures taken. The individual pic¬
ture section will be eliminated,
and an effort will be made to fur¬
ther emphasize activities.
One individual picture engraving
costs $6. When you have your pic¬
ture taken at $2.30, $1.04 goes to
the photographer, and $1.26 helps
to pay for the cost of your en¬
graving. The Pageant must then
pay for the cost of paper, ink,
printing, binding, and the like.
This year, printing costs are up
10 per cent over last year. Since
the problem affects student body
funds, the staff is anxious to get
student reaction.
PCC’s yearbook, the Pageant,
is conducting a survey of more
than 4,500 students to determine
whether or not they want indi¬
vidual pictures included in the an¬
nual this year.
The number of students having
their pictures taken has steadily
declined over the last six years,
and the Pageant staff felt that
ASB officers should search for the
causes of this decline.
Every organization on campus
will receive 30 ballots, senators
will ask for the vote of their 9
a.m. classes, and over 2,000 basic
communication students will be
asked to fill out the question¬
naires.
The yearbook’s problem is that
only 320 students have had their
picture taken to date (170 fresh¬
men, 150 sophomores) in spite of
an enthusiastic publicity cam¬
paign. There were banners, pos¬
ters, flyers, appeals to basic com¬
munication teachers, public ad¬
dress announcements, Crier and
Courier stories, and outside radio
announcements for two weeks be¬
fore picture taking began.
final game of the JRB series.
The Huntsmen of PCC were
named three weeks ago as
the West Coast selection by a
committee of eleven men, six
administrators from the Calif¬
ornia Junior College Athletic As¬
sociation, and five men from the
sponsoring Junior Chamber.
Lancerville will remember the
fast-approaching athletic contest
as the second time in JRB his¬
tory that PCC has represented the
West Coast. The last time was in
1951, when home town Pasadena
(then the Bulldogs) captured the
opportunity because of an unde¬
feated season and won the crowd¬
pleasing JRB thriller (28-26) over
Tyler, Texas.
The game opened up with a 94-
yard kick-off return by Tyler. The
fans went wild when the Bulldogs
answered by scoring on their first
offensive play. With less than a
minute gone in the East-West
clash, the Red and White led 7 to
6. Tyler couldn’t pull down Pasa¬
dena in that JRB classic as the
score see-sawed all the way.
The JRB series was seven
years old in 1952. In that year
three “firsts” were established:
It was the first appearance of a
Northern California team — Hart¬
nell of Salinas; first tie in JRB
history (20-20) ; first game de-
ceded after the final gun sounded.
Bacone, Oklahoma, Indian in an¬
cestry, provided the spectacle for
its pigskin rival and interested
onlookers at half-time.
