community project agreed upon
by the members of the group.
Suckers are ten cents each, and
may be purchased from any Spar¬
tan member.
The group used the money
from the sale of last semester to
hold a party for some of the pa¬
tients in a children’s hospital
nearby.
The high goals set by the club
in the past will be met once more
as the reasons behind the sale
always help to find the many cus¬
tomers that are needed. Have a
Spartan sucker, they’re only a
dime!
History Instructor
Takes Sabbatical
to Middle East
Miss Katharine Fleming, teach¬
er of European civilization, is
now on her way to the realization
of a long-time dream. She left
last Monday on the first lap of a
sabbatical leave which will take
her away from PCC until Sep¬
tember. She is going directly to
Beirut, Lebanon, and will visit the
surrounding countries. On her
way home she will also travel
through some parts of Europe.
While in Beirut she will stay
with friends, a physics instruc¬
tor and his wife, who for three
years have been connected with
the American University there.
She will use their home as her
base and will travel with them
during their Easter vacation.
Miss Fleming plans to visit Da¬
mascus with them and will go
on to Egypt in the early spring
as the weather becomes warm¬
er.
Since she only started to plan
her trip since last fall the travel
bureau was unable to complete
all the plans for her tour. But

she is confident that, once in the
Near East, she will be able to ar¬
range transportation to the places
that interest her.
Miss Fleming is anxious to take
a boat down the Nile and to see
the ruins around Luxor. She also
hopes to be able to visit Israel
and Jordan and to go to Baghdad.
If she has enough time she will
try to visit Turkey.
She has definite plans to be
in Greece in April and will visit
Crete and some of the Aegean
Islands. She will then go on to
Italy and from there to Austria,
Germany, and England.
Miss Fleming left Los Angeles
for New York by train. She will
sail from there on the U.S.S. Inde*
pendence for Naples. She did not
yet have reservations for a ship
to Lebanon, but she was confi¬
dent of being able to arrange
transportation in Naples.
Miss Cynthia Scribner, a re¬
tired social worker who lives with
Miss Fleming, is accompanying
her. •

Pictures Illustrate
'People of Paris'
The interesting and amusing
photographs now being viewed in
the library display case were tak¬
en by Walter Girdner.
While working in Paris four
years ago, Mr. Girdner found
time to cultivate his interest in
photography by taking these un¬
usually interesting pictures.
Here, Mr. Girdner has tried to
bring to you the real Paris — the
people. In his pictures, market
places are shown with the people
going about their business, a lit¬
tle girl’s face of happiness as she
looks at the pigeons at the pigeon
market, the Arc de Triomphe de
L’Eloile, Notre Dame Cathedral,
and various scenes of bridges and
people.
These pictures are a reflection
of the life of some of the people
in Paris. All of these pictures

entertain the ASB members once
more.
Red is known in Southern Cal¬
ifornia as well as the entire coun¬

formances and his renditions of
Dixieland jazz. One of the last
“concert” appearances made by
Red was in the Shrine at the an-
nal Dixieland Jazz Concert that
was emceed by none other than
Frank Bull, whose show “Ameri¬
ca Dances” features records of
all the greats of jazz.
Red Nichols will be the first
performer to appear on our new
assembly program and promises
to be a great starter. Sherry and
the office of Dean Haugh are to
be congratulated on their choice
of the first assembly of the se¬

SOUTH RAMPART STREET PARADE . . . Red Nichols (trumpet) and four of his five pennies
are shown as they appeared in last year’s very popular assembly. Red is one of the top Dixieland
artists in the country and well known to all Southlanders. He was featured also in last fall’s Dixie¬
land Jazz Concert at the Shrine, which was a complete sellout. If you listen to Frank Bull and his
program, “America Dances,” you have heard the talents of Red Nichols many times.
Philosophy Club Attends USC Indian
Festival Benefit for Flood Victims
Last Saturday, the Philosophy
Club attended “The Festival of In¬
dia” at USC, that was presented
by the Indian Students’ Associa¬
tion of that college.
The club attended the show
on the invitation of the Indian
Students and witnessed native
dancing, singing and playing,
that if placed in competition
with any professional show
would have won top honors.
The show is an annual affair
that is produced entirely by the
Indian students of USC.
This year the show was staged
to raise funds for the people who
are in need in Northern Califor¬
nia due to the recent floods. The
proceeds of this benefit perform¬
ance were presented to the Ameri¬
can Red Cross at the close of the
performance by the Hon. S. K.
Benerji, Consul General of India
to the United States.
The Indian Students Associa¬
tion has been active for several
years at USC and has as its
aims: the interpretation of In¬
dia and Indian culture, past and
present, as far as possible in
every way; to promote better
understanding between India
and the USA; to assist Indians
coming to study in the Los An¬
geles area.
After attending their perform¬
ance and hearing the narration by
M. S. Bedi, we are sure that their
objectives are fulfilled and we
would like to thank them and con¬
gratulate them on a fine show.
