plans competition
in vital match
PCC’s forensic squad will trav¬
el to Long Beach State College
Friday for competition in the first
of the spring speech contests.
Results of this tournament will
be influential in the selection of
delegates for two future tourna¬
ments, the California Junior Col¬
lege Championship in San Fran¬
cisco, March 9-10; and the Phi
Rho Pi Nationals in Hutchinson,
Kan., April 11-14.
Approximately 20 members of
the PCC forensic squad will trav¬
el to Long Beach to take part in
four categories: debate, impromp¬
tu, oratory, and oral interpreta¬
tion.
Delegates in the impromptu
event will give a five minute
speech on an editorial from an
American newspaper, which they
will have not seen previous to the
contest.
Those entered in the oratory
event will give a persuasive ten
minute speech on a prominent
social, economic, or political prob¬
lem. Debaters will participate in
three rounds of competition.
Oral interpretation will consist
of a prepared analysis of a liter¬
ary work.
Carl Bovero, adviser to the for¬
ensic squad, noted that the high
ranking speakers of the day will
receive “superior” and “excellent”
ratings rather than first or sec¬
ond place awards.
Lancers donate 80 pints
of blood during drive
Eighty pint’s of blood were do¬
nated to PCC’s blood bank last
week during a special drive by
the Circle
К
and Red Cross.
First and second place trophies
for the most blood given by a col¬
lege department or a campus
club were won by the business
department and Circle K.
The drive was open to both
PCC students and the general
public, however it was for the
benefit of Lancer students and
alumni.
Donors to the blood bank have
a lifetime access to the supply
when they need blood.
FIGHTS BIGOTRY, FEAR
Brotherhood Week set aside
to examine American ideals
National Brotherhood Week begins this Sunday when the ideals
of democracy are brought into focus and examined by Americans for
their effectiveness and utilization.
Brotherhood Week is the creation of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews, an organization devoted to eliminating bigotry,
fear, and prejudice among men of all races and faiths.
Brotherhood week has as its slogan, “Brotherhood is Democracy
at Work,” and urges all men to “Believe it, live, it, support it.”
The president of the NCCJ, Dr. Lewis Webster Jones, states, “Only
by achieving unity in the great diversity of American life can we then
assume moral responsibility for leadership in the rapidly emerging
world society.”
One of the ideals of the NCCJ, in sponsorship of Brotherhood
Week, is to fulfill the American creed of “One nation, under God, in¬
divisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
The NCCJ is an organization dedicated to making “the religious
ideals of brotherhood and justice the standards of human relation¬
ships.”
One of the NCCJ’s working points is a statement made by Abra¬
ham Lincoln, “As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.
This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to
the extent of the difference, is no democracy.”
Next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday PCC will recognize
Brotherhood Week with programs by the Religious Activities Com¬
mission.
The daily sessions will be held from 12 to 12:50 p.m. in Harbeson
Hall, and will feature panel speakers, films, and discussion groups.
Teacher to talk
on Roman ruins
The Latin section of the for¬
eign language department will
present a talk by Mrs. Jeanette
Yeatman tomorrow in 200C on the
topic, “In the Wake of Roman
Ships: Italy and the Middle East.”
Mrs. Yeatman, a well-known
lecturer, has recently returned
from a five-month trip in the Med¬
iterranean during which she vis¬
ited Roman ruins in the Middle
East.
These extensive ruins are little
known but are very important,
offering a relatively untouched
area for investigation and study,
she said.
This program is being present¬
ed to stimulate interest in Latin
and to bring out the importance
of this subject to students in ar¬
chaeology, history, and language,
according to Albert Baca, PCC
Latin instructor.
