PCC Model Home
Filmed for Movie
Representatives of the Reynolds
Metals Company were at Pasa¬
dena City College last week for
the filming of a company movie
that used PCC Model Home 17 as
a prop.
The home under construction
by the building construction class¬
es of the Engineering and Tech¬
nology Department, and directed
by Lome R. Johnson, instructor,
uses many aluminum articles.
The Roland Reed Productions
movie features the life story of
the company’s founder. The PCC
Model Home will be shown to typ¬
ify the modern uses of the metal
his company produces.
Director of the filming was Lee
Sholem, nationally known tele¬
vision and commercial film direc¬
tor.
The film will deal with the life
story of the founder of the com¬
pany. PCC’s project will be repre¬
sented in a five to ten second
segment of the picture. The
home's use of aluminum in doors
and windows will be stressed.
Approximately 1000 students heard a State Department official
speak on United States foreign policy last Wednesday in Sexson Audi¬
torium. PCC was one of four campuses in the Los Angeles area se¬
lected by the World Affairs Council to present such a program.
The speaker, Howard T. Robinson, is labor adviser to the Bureau
of Far Eastern Affairs. Questions were directed to Robinson by a
panel moderated by Social Science Department chairman Dr. Ralph
Hallman.
Members of the panel were William Goldman, PCC professor and
expert on international relations; Dr. Robert Oliver, professor of econ¬
omics at Caltech and a member of the Pasadena Board of Directors;
Mrs. Alice Mothershead, vice-president of the National Association for
Student Affairs and a volunteer worker for the foreign student ad¬
visory committee on campus; and Dr. Ruth Macfarlane, chairman of
the College Committee on International Education and coordinator
of the event.
Robinson spoke on living standards in Southeast Asia, efficiency
of the Department of State, and its policies, and answered questions
about Viet Nam.
On possible American expansion of the war in Viet Nam, Rob¬
inson said, “U.S. policy in Viet Nam is to build, not destroy. We try
to cut off supply lines and demonstrate that we’re not there to destroy
but to build. We hope we never reach the point where North Viet Nam
has to be destroyed.”
He treated the idea of U.S. abandonment of Viet Nam in this way:
“If we get out tomorrow, how can we make commitments in the future
to other countries? We will stay there; it will take time, but we will
win.”
