BOBN IN Alabama, Gilmore joined the staff of the Associated Press in Washington in 1935. In 1941 he was assigned to London, where he reported on British and Russian war efforts. He made in¬ spection tours of defense posi¬ tions with industrialist Wendell Willkie, and later covered the war on the Russian front, where he began his long reporting assign¬ ment on the Soviet Union. He wit¬ nessed action at Rostov and Stal¬ ingrad, and was the first reporter to describe how the Russians slowed the German armies by moving entire cities and factories from the front lines eastward to safety over the Ural Mountains. At the historic meeting between Yugoslavia’s Tito and the new leaders of the Kremlin some years ago, Gilmore was the only Ameri¬ can correspondent who succeed¬ ed in getting into Tito’s private is¬ land of Brioni in the Adriatic to interview the Yugoslav and Rus¬ sian leaders. GILMOBE now covers the Euro¬ pean scene for Associated Press from his headquarters in London. In the course of his work, he trav¬ els widely throughout Europe and the Middle East. He has reported on many major political crises, in¬ cluding the Geneva conferences, during the past several years. Gilmore’s books include the best-selling autobiography, “Me and My Russian Wife,” and a nov¬ el, “Troika,” which was recently published in Great Britain. His latest book, “After the Cossacks Burned Down the Y,” will be re¬ leased this month. in the last part of April,” said Building Instructor Lome R. Johnson. In preparation for completion of the home, a contest is now being sponsored by the South¬ ern California Gas Co. and the Building Contractors Association of California. A $25 savings bond is being offered by these co-spon- sors for the best name given to the home. Last year’s winning name was “campus cottage.” ENTRY blanks for the contest may be obtained in four boxes around campus and from the Cam¬ pus Crier. They should be placed in the ballot box near the model home. Judging the contest will be ASB President Terry Worsdell, Rose Queen Nancy Kneeland, Dean Luke Curtis, Building Contractors Association President John Loyd, and a member of the Gas Co. The house was designed by John Frey, PCC architectural stu¬ dent, and is in the Japanese mod¬ ern style. It will feature acoustical plaster ceilings and a full complement of ceramic fixtures. LATHING is now being done on the home by the lathing ap¬ prentice class of the Lathing In¬ stitute of Southern California, a semi-professional apprentice pro¬ gram. Lath is a gypsum based material on which plaster is ap¬ plied. It gives the house a one- hour fire protection. The completed house will have 1344 feet of floor space, two bed¬ rooms, dining room, kitchen, and a convertible room. Full sliding glass doors will be installed. The contest will close on March 6 and is open to all day and eve¬ ning students of PCC. Students may enter as often as they wish. King Aide Speaks Young Democrats will meet to¬ morrow at 11 a.m. in Harbeson Hall to hear Carol Hoover, exec¬ utive director of Martin Luther King’s Southern Christian Lead¬ ership Conference. Dr. King may also speak, if his schedule permits. Everyone is invited. almost all the large rivers of the world, and was the first man to go all the way down the Congo River by boat. A highlight of his career came when he traversed the entire Col¬ orado River on an archaeological and botanical survey, encounter¬ ing over 400 rapids on his way to the Gulf of California in Mexico. Recently he experienced a war games cruise aboard a US Navy submarine which traveled over 350 feet below the Pacific Ocean. He also was credited with being the fastest flying civilian of 1957 and 1960, excluding test pilots, fly¬ ing at speeds of 1250 miles per hour at an altitude of 55,000 feet. He is not only considered an authority on the subjects of his lectures, but, according to the Uni¬ versity of Michigan, has that “ex¬ tra something which puts his pro¬ grams far above the ordinary. His experiences are unbelievable and his commentary extraordinary.” Goddard was selected by the United States Chamber of Com¬ merce as one of California’s five outstanding men. He is a member of the world famous Explorers Club of New York as well as the Adventurers Club of Los Angeles, Adventurers Club of Chicago, Savage Club of London, French Explorers Soci¬ ety, Archaeological Society, and a life member of Sigma Chi fra¬ ternity. He is an LA High and USC graduate. Lancers Destroy Telephone Books to Bolster Craze The World Championship Page¬ pulling Contest — a contest where students de-page telephone books — will take place next week in the Campus Center patio. The Madrigal Singers, under the direction of Robert Heckman, will perform, and music instruc¬ tor Daniel S. Hiestand announced that the Hi-liters Club will pro¬ vide jazz, folk, and pop music. Dennis Thompson, contest fore¬ man, has received merchandise and gift certificates from local merchants for awards to contest¬ ants. Prizes will go to first, tenth, and twentieth places in both men’s and women’s divisions. Thompson described the contest as “some¬ thing that might just catch on as a national collegiate fad.” He has more than 60 old phone books waiting to be de-paged, for the furtherance of ASB book sales. The idea of all this activity is to make students aware of the deadline for buying ASB books. According to the financial code of the ASB, books cannot be sold after March 1 because the num¬ ber of copies of the Pageant to be printed must be set. Pageants are distributed only to the hold¬ ers of ASB books. 1 Linguist ’ Reports Language Events The PCC Linguist, a bi-semes- ter publication which provides news of foreign language activi¬ ties, will be distributed to all stu¬ dents taking a foreign language this semester. The articles are written in six different languages by PCC stu¬ dents and cover widely varying subjects, all of which pertain to language. Some of the articles scheduled to appear in the next issue of the Linguist include: pro¬ files of the department faculty, significance of foreign language in elementary education, and the new languages to be offered at PCC next semester. With the addition of Chinese, Arabic, and Japanese languages to the program next semester, PCC will have one of the top ju¬ nior college language departments in the country. Copies of forthcoming issues of the Linguist, which will contain a description of new courses in reading, conversation, and ele¬ mentary language, will be sent to schools in the San Gabriel Valley.
