Displays Own Paintings
Art instructor Shiro Ikegawa
currently is displaying samples of
his work at the Comara Gallery
in Los Angeles.
The exhibit will continue
through March 16. Hours are
Monday through Saturday until

day evenings from 7 to 9:30.
The circle and the rod is the
theme of these paintings by Ike¬
gawa, Multiple circles — interlock¬
ing, eccentric, bent and twisted.
Within these circles are rods and
bars.
The circle and the rod are fun¬
damental visual opposites exist¬
ing together in friction. And yet
they are fundamental organic uni¬
ties existing together sympathet¬
ically in a single cell. The rod

the negative side of the issue.
The campus debate is sponsor¬
ed by the PCC Senate and is the
second in a series designed to in¬
form Lancers and stimulate more
school participation and enjoy¬
ment in the affairs of student
government.
After the pro and con sides of
the argument are presented, dis¬
cussion will be open for those in
the audience to comment.
Students are encouraged to ex¬
press their ideas and opinions on
the issue. Not only does the Sen¬
ate wish to air the problems
with regard to fraternities and
sororities, but it hopes to provide
some solutions to existing prob¬
lems through the debate. At the
present time fraternities and so¬
rorities are not recognized on the
PCC campus.
Spring Enrollment
Hits New High
Pasadena City College enroll¬
ment for the spring semester has
reached an all-time high with
10,668 students attending classes.
Of the 10,668 Lancers, 6397 are
enrolled in daytime classes and
4271 in night classes.
This was a drop of 838 students
over last semester’s fall high of
11,506, according to John Weldon,
dean of admissions. This is a nor¬
mal trend, however, he noted.
Enrollment did rise, Weldon
pointed out, in comparison to the
figures for spring, 1962. At that
time 10,079 students were attend¬
ing classes. This shows an in¬
crease of 589 Lancers.
These figures were not final,
although Weldon said he expects
little decrease.
ISA Commission Plans
Study Group Seminars
Study group seminars are now
being sponsored by the Interna¬
tional Student Activities Commis¬
sion.
Anyone wishing help in the un¬
derstanding of a particular sub¬
ject should contact John New¬
man, ISA commissioner. Newman
may be located between 9 and 10
a.m. in the Campus Center.
It is hoped that the study group
seminars will aid students in rais¬
ing their grade point averages.
for the life he leads has dimin¬
ished.
Felix assumes his identity and
travels to Paris, where he con¬
tinues the masquerade. In the
meantime he keeps receiving a
generous allowance for expenses
from the unsuspecting parents.
According to many critics, the
role of Felix is brilliantly por¬
trayed by Bucholz who appeared
more recently in Billy Wilder’s
production of “One, Two, Three.”
Bucholz is at his best in a very
humorous sequence in which he
feigns insanity before a draft
board to avoid induction. The
handsome and debonair young ac¬
tor makes the picture a standout.
Students need not know Ger¬
man to understand the picture.
The film is one everyone will
want to see, according to Leslie
Koltai, chairman of the foreign
language department.

be conducted at the session.

Persons who are now partici¬
pating or planning to participate

duced rate of $7. Students may
attend assemblies, athletic events,
receive a 1963 Pageant, and re¬

Welding Shop Destroyed
by Fire; $25,000 Damage
PCC’s welding shop was destroyed by fire last weekend. Damage
to the building, located near the men’s gym, was estimated at $25,000.
Five tanks of highly explosive acetylene burst during the fire, but
no one was injured, firemen said. One blast blew out a door and
all the windows.
Battalion Chief William Cropsey said the cause of the blaze was
undetermined. He noted that the building contained about 15 ex¬
pensive electric welding machines.
Seven fire companies responded to the call but several were
recalled after a few minutes.
Firemen stayed on the scene for several hours, Chief Cropsey
said, and expended a total of 10,000 gallons of water.
