Lancer Band Headed for Island Paradise By Jimi Gernert Look out, Hawaii! Here we come! Ready or not! Hawaii or Bust! Did ya’ see that wave! Those could all be slogans of the Pasadena City College Lancer Band, as it begins the long hard climb to $30,000 — the funds neces¬ sary to make the fun-filled trip across the waters to that enchant¬ ing vacation hot-spot during the spring break. Yes sir! Ten days on the island of Hawaii sounds like a dream, but over 100 musicians would like to make that dream a reality. And it is highly probably that they will. Of course, there has to be a “reason” for a group of college students with the name of a band tagged on, to skip over to one of the most popular resort areas in the world. So — they HAVE a rea¬ son. It’s called “concert tour” But before a band goes on a fired- up tour, it needs a place to give a concet. And the Lancer Band even has that barrier crossed. As it looks now, the band may have too many invitations to crowd into the short span of 10 days. CONCERT requests include two schools in the Honolulu area, a booking at the world’s largest shopping center, an appearance on a Hawaiian educational tele¬ vision program, a benefit perfor¬ mance for a crippled childrens’ hospital, a concert sponsored by a Kiwanis Club in Hawaii, and many more. So you say, “Where ya’ gonna get $30,000?” There are projects in the making and projects al¬ ready completed. There are pro¬ jects coming and projects going. Perhaps one of the biggest is a drawing. A 1968 yellow Camaro with black interior will be given away at a drawing March 7. The ad¬ vance sales of the Tournament of Roses official program was an¬ other money raising project. Stereo recordings of all the bands that appeared in the Tourna¬ ment of Roses Parade January 1 are on sale by the Lancer Band, too, and the students will sponsor a booth in the carnival this Feb¬ ruary. THE BAND couldn’t raise the money alone, however. It has the enthusiastic support of the Band Parents’ Association. The group was in charge of a concession stand at the home football games last fall. They are helping with Scalapino, Mancall Speak on Vietnam Dr. Robert Scalapino of UC Ber¬ keley, who has recently traveled in Asia, will answer the problem of “Why Vietnam?” from the ad¬ ministration’s viewpoint, Monday, Feb. 26. The following Thursday, Dr. Mark Mancall of Stanford, who is Vista Rep on Campus “They see the world as it is, not as it shoud be,” is just one result of a year given to helping others by being a VISTA volunteer, ac¬ cording to the Office of Econom¬ ic Opportunity. VISTA representatives will be on campus today running a re¬ cruitment drive. The VISTA rep¬ resentatives will man tables in the Campus Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Representatives will furnish in¬ formation and materials on the VISTA program, and will answer any questions students have. The field representatives will also visit interested students in class¬ rooms, and would like to talk with clubs interested in sponsor¬ ing VISTA during the year. A highlight of the drive will be the showing of the Academy Award-winning film, “A Year Toward Tomorrow,” presented at noon in Harbeson Hall. VISTA stands for Volunteers in Service to America. VISTA re¬ cruits, selects, and trains volun¬ teers and sends them on projects throughout the country where their help is needed. Applicants from 18 to 85 are being accepted to serve in VISTA. Volunteers receive an allowance for food and housing, and $75 for personal expenses. An additional $50 stipend is given to the volun¬ teer for each month of service. all of the projects. Without their support, the band could never hope to achieve its goal. Any questions? Want to help? Contact any member of the Lan¬ cer Band. Who knows? Someday, you might seek financial aid for a trip to Hawaii! the president is beginning to be¬ come a familiar refrain on the Pasadena City College campus. No sooner does PCC get a pres¬ ident than he resigns. Tom Cos- ton, who just four weeks ago was elected ASB president for the second semester, has resigned the office because of personal rea¬ sons. The ASB Board, which had to fill two places to get a quorum, last Thursday voted Tom Quinn the new ASB president replacing coston. QUINN was elected by a 4-1 margin over last semester’s ASB vice-president Bob Henry. Henry, who had claimed himself definite¬ ly not a candidate for the presi¬ dency, strangely found himself in the running for the job. Quinn’s first act as ASB presi¬ dent was to appoint A1 Menconi currently engaged in a research project on revolution as a “re¬ vitalization movement,” will op¬ pose the war. Dr. Scalapino is a member of the U.S. Department of State’s ad¬ visory panels on China and on East Asian and Pacific affairs. He is also editor of “Asian Survey” and of “The Communist Revolu¬ tion in Asia,” and serves as a consultant to Rand Corporation. A frequent lecturer in Sexson Auditorium, he also has spoken at universities in Korea, Hong Kong, Manila, Malaya, Mexico, Uganda, and Japan. Dr. Scala¬ pino is the author of “The Japan¬ ese Communist Movement” and many other articles in numerous journals. Dr. Mancall, like Dr. Scalapino, earned his doctor’s degree from Harvard. He has since studied in Taiwan, Leningrad, and Tokyo, and written articles on Formosa, U.S.S.R.-China relations, and com¬ munism. Dr. Mancall has done research at Harvard’s East Asian Research Center and received a travel grant to East, Southeast, and South Asia. He will soon have an arti¬ cle out on the “East Asian Tribute System: An Interpretive Essay,” appearing as part of a book to be published by the Harvard Univer¬ sity Press. OMD Carnival Theme The annual OMD “Guess the Carnival Theme” contest” will begin week after next, with the first clue appearing in the Campus Crier. Additional clues will appear in later editions of the Crier. A prize of $10 will be awarded to the person who comes closest to guessing the theme of this year’s OMD Car¬ nival. The 41st annual OMD Carnival will be held May 10. KAY CLARK — member of the Utah Repertory Dance Theater, will be a featured performer tomorrow at Pasadena City College dur¬ ing the company's free student performance, Thursday at noon, in Sexson Auditorium. Utah Rep Company Performs in Sexson By Amanda Adia Pasadena City College will have a rare treat when the Utah Reper¬ tory Dance Theatre gives a 50- minute dance demonstration at noon in Sexson Auditorium tomor¬ row. The program is free of charge and the public is welcome. Mrs. Adele Tingey, instructor of modern dance, who is in charge of arrangements, reports “This is an unusual privilege for students and anyone else who is interested in dance, music, art, and theatre arts. We are very fortunate to have this magnificent show presented free to the student body.” SHE ADDED that the kind of dance to be demonstrated is not the usual modern dance. The URDT will present a full costumed, lighted, choreographed dance demonstration, which makes the show different — some¬ thing which hasn’t been done be¬ fore. It is the nation’s first universi¬ ty based professional repertory dance company, supported by a grant from the Rockerfeller Foun¬ dation, and with the university meeting additional expenses and providing studio space. The Repertory Dance Theatre is a professional company. All of its members are full-time artists who work closely with the Department of Ballet and Modern Dances. The sole purpose of each dancer is to perform, to choreograph, and to give master workshops. THEIR growing repertory is further augmented by works of the world’s leading choreograph¬ ers and composers, who are brought to Utah by commissions made possible through grant funds. A member of the group is Kay Clark, an alumna of PCC. In 1962 she was president of Orche- sis Modern Dance Club here, ad¬ vised by Mrs. Tingey. Miss Clark graduated from Pasadena High School, and while there earned the Irma Graham scholarship for her outstanding work in dance. She received her bachelors degree with a major in dance at the Uni¬ versity of Utah and was invited to join the Repertory Dance Theater. WHILE at PCC she performed in the annual Orchesis dance con¬ cert. In the production, “The Cru¬ cible,” she took the part of the Salem wife accused of witchcraft. She also directed a group of 12 men and women in “Unsquare Square Dance.” URDT has performed in con¬ cert and lecture demonstrations and conducted master classes in • Continued on Page Four dent was left hanging before se¬ mester break because of a weird turn of events. Terry Smith was elected ASB vice-president but was disquali¬ fied. Smith was to appeal the disqualification. With Smith out, the second place finisher was the logical choice to step into the vice-presidential spot, but Ron Crocker and Frank Toms tied for second honors. This is how things stood before vacation. A RUNOFF election was plan¬ ned to get a vice-president. At or before Thursday’s Board meeting, Crocker dropped out of the run¬ ning. This left Toms with an open spot but Quinn used his power of appointment to appoint Menconi vice-president. Smith now has given up all claim to the vice-presidency and is now AMS president replacing Quinn. Two vacancies were declared in the Cabinet because of disqualifi¬ cation. Tim Moore, Sophomore Class president, was forced to re¬ sign as was Senate first vice- president Andy Littlejohn. Leslie Wells, Freshman Class president, was also disqualified on an error but is expected to be reinstated this week. Quinn is expected to fill the va¬ cancies at the next ASB Board meeting, scheduled for tomorrow in the upstairs Campus Center. PCC Library Makes Switch All students who have tried to wend their way through the cata¬ log in the library will be happy to know that help is on the way! The entire library staff has been work¬ ing day and night during the se¬ mester break “dividing the cata¬ log.” It is now divided into two sec¬ tions: An Author-Title section and a Subject section, the sections lo¬ cated on opposite sides of the li¬ brary lobby. The Author-Title section has two main uses. (1) If you know an exact author or title for the book you seek, you can quickly find the call number, and (2) if you have a favorite author, you can locate all the books written by that author. One uses the Subject Section if he doesn’t have any particular book in mind, but is looking for material on a given subject. Material about an author or about his works will also be in the Subject section, because the author is now the subject. Per¬ sons, places, and things can be “subjects,” just as ideas and con¬ cepts are. Although all this could be done before in the single catalog, the divided catalog has several advan¬ tages. (1) It spreads the students out and relieves congestion. (2) The Author-Title Section is like the express line at the supermar¬ ket; you don’t have to wait for someone who is poring over “Lon¬ don, England,” before you can look for the call number of a book by Jack London. (3) The search¬ ing and filing is easier because the complexity is reduced. This was a big undertaking, and there may be some foul-ups for a few weeks. Librarians ask all stu¬ dents and faculty to help. If you cannot find a book you want, call a librarian; if no librarian is im¬ mediately ' available, fill out an Unlocated Book Form and drop it in the box provided. Students who find the card cata¬ log hard to use should locate a li¬ brarian and let him show them the system. PCC’s library has a motto: “Greater Library Use Through Service to Faculty and Students.”
