BLOOD, PLEASE — This group is having fun staging a mock blood
donation, but Circle

about their campus blood bank, February 20. This is an annual

House of Bernardo Alba Stars
All-Girl Cast from Drama Frat
An all-female cast of PCC dra¬
matists presents Frederico Lar-
ca’s “House of Bernarda Alba” in
the Little Theater tonight and
tomorrow night at 8:30.
Delta Psi Omega, national hon¬
orary drama fraternity, sponsors
the production. Admission will be
$1-
Lee Collins, who played the title
role in last fall's presentation of
“Epitaph for George Dillon,” di¬
rects “Bernarda,” the tale of a
woman’s tyranny over her five
daughters and insane mother.
ANNETTE CULVER stars as
Bernarda (the mother). Antonio
Coviello plays her servant. The
five daughters of Bernarda will be
played by Sheri Emond, another
“Epitaph” star; Christine Shu¬
maker, Jean Godfrey, Ellen Ben¬
nett, and Marsha Duncan, also of
“Epitaph.”
Mother Bernarda lays a potent
tangle of romantic intrigue for
her daughters, although the chief
male complement remains off¬
stage.
ADELA, young and most mar¬
riageable, is consigned — but not
resigned — to spinsterhood. Moth¬
er’s candidate for the altar is
Angustias, the aging eldest, un¬
appealing even with a large
dowery — at least to prospective
suitor Pepe e) Romano, who has
already responded to the comely
charms of Adela.
Playhouse Offers
Theatrical Writing
The Pasadena Playhouse Col¬
lege of Theater Arts will register
students Saturday for its spring
classes in playwriting.
Registration for this college
credit instruction will be from
8:30 to 11 a.m., followed by a dis¬
cussion of the course. Classes will
meet Saturday mornings from 9
to 11:30 for 15 weeks.
Richard Harbinger, professional
writer, story editor, and director,
will direct the classes. He studied
playwriting at Princeton, Colum¬
bia University, and UCLA, and
has written for CBS’s “Climax,”
General Electric’s “True,” and
for the Warner and Paramount
Studios. Currently, he is work¬
ing on TV and movie scripts.
Martirio, sadistic sister of the
quintet, notes that Mother’s plans
have gone awry — a fact which
proves interesting to Mother, as
well. The explosive result is
worth waiting for.
Other cast members are Judy
Chapler, Barbara Richardson,
Mary Wigton, Norma Monk, Mona
Richardson, Rosemarie Santan-
gelo, Clarice Turney, Shelly Fal-
lis, Cheryl Pertile, and Vicky
Draper.

Undersea Photographer Plans
Film, Talk at Tuesday Forum
Journalists Meet Pros
at CNPA Convention
Six Lancer journalists and their
advisers mingled with California
newspapermen last weekend and
heard their ideas and problems.
The annual California News¬
paper Publishers Association con¬
vention at Coronado served as the
classroom, with several special
programs for students.
COURIER staffers Dick Carna¬
han, Terri Krippenz, Lee Nichols,
and Florence Sisco, attended, ac¬
companied by Adviser Nick Beck.
Band
The Lancer Band will play at
the premiere showing of the of¬
ficial Rose Parade films Sunday

gin the program at 3 p.m. with
a short concert.
Pageant Adviser William Buttler
accompanied Editor Ed Bauck-
ham. David Laidig, commission¬
er of publications, also attended.
Governor Edmund G. (Pat)
Brown addressed a conclave din¬
ner Friday evening, and his press
conference the next day was the
highlight for student delegates.
Several young journalists ques¬
tioned the governor on Califor¬
nia’s problems.
LANCERS sat in on several
roundtable discussion groups,
where the professionals aired
their thoughts on problems fac¬
ing the modern newspaper. The
sessions were “off the record.”
Next year’s meet will include
even more activities for the stu¬
dent journalists. Additional
awards for school newspapers,
and further roundtables are plan¬
ned.
Stanton Waterman, undersea
photography specialist, will nar¬
rate his color film, “Man Looks
to the Sea,” at the Tuesday Eve¬
ning Forum, February 18 at 8
p.m. in Sexson Auditorium. The
public is invited without charge,
and ample seating will be avail¬
able.
The film was photographed off
the Hawaiian Islands, the Ba¬
hamas, the island of Bimini, and
Miami. It depicts the undersea
harvesting of black coral, the cap¬
ture of an octopus, and shark at¬
tacks.
Waterman’s first explorations
were off the coasts of Corsica, the
French and Italian Rivieras,
Puerto Rico, and the Dominican
Republic. He has recently com¬
pleted exploratory dives off the
Turkish and Aegean Island coasts,
and has discovered sunken ships
which date back to the bronze
age. He found their cargos of
copper ingots, bronze weapons,
and a variety of ancient tools still
intact.

donors eat a nutritious breakfast
and drink plenty of fluids on the

KNXecutive Tells
Radio's New Role
in Television Age
By Larry Gott
Robert Sutton, vice-president of
CBS and general manager of
KNX radio in Los Angeles, ad¬
dressed a combined speech and
radio production class last Thurs¬
day morning in 26C. His topic was
“The Place of Editorials in Radio
and Television Broadcasting.”
Sutton dwelled principally on
the position of radio among the
news media. He described the
growth of radio’s popularity in
spite of the advent of television,
and cited the importance of the
“personal impact” of the voice in
editorial comment. He said radio
is a new journalistic voice which
lends a bulletin effect to editorials
and news.
Sutton said the existence of
only two metropolitan daily news¬
papers in Los Angeles has left a
“journalistic vacuum” in South¬
ern Calofornia which radio has
helped to fill. And radio fills it
more objectively, according to
Sutton, because it is required by
law to seek out conflicting points
of view.
“CBS has no overall company
editorial policy,” Sutton said.
“Different CBS stations some¬
times disagree violently on is¬
sues.”
Sutton stated that newspapers
must represent the point of view
of their immediate areas, while
radio is responsible to the total
community. He pointed out that
more people listen to radio than
read newspapers.
Leadership
All students interested in serv¬
ing PCC in a leadership capac¬
ity are urged to pick up appli¬
cations in Dean Curtis’ office,
111C, for such organizations as
the Freshman and Sophomore
Councils, Associated Women
Students Board, and the Asso¬
ciated Men Students Board.
FORUM FUN — Underwater action shots and accompanying re¬
marks by marine photographer Stanton Waterman will entertain

mitted free of charge.
