Funds Found for
Model UN Group
The Model UN travel fund has
received recently several substan¬
tial boosts. The Associated Stu¬
dent Body has voted $300 to the
cause of providing transporta¬
tion for the delegates chosen to
represent PCC at the convention.
Other organizations which have
contributed generously to the
fund are the Pasadena Area Chap¬
ter of the American Association
for the United Nations and the
Altadena Rotary Club.
The convention will be held at
Oregon State University at Cor¬
vallis on April 3-7. Ten delegates
will be chosen soon from the
group of students now working
on the organization and agenda of
the delegation. Chairman of the
student group is Beryl Case.

were beginning to take shape
ment chairman. Miss Lula C.
the Music Department for 23
years, was the originator of the
first set of plans for the project.
Now, 18 years later, the first
work has been started on the new
three story building. The final
plans were submitted by Music
Department Chairman Robert M.
Fleury who worked on them with
the designer until they were ac¬
ceptable to the School Board. One
of the main obstacles was the
cost of the building. The other
objection was that the original
plans called for a building that
was designed strictly for music
use.
The accepted plans are design¬
ed in a manner that will allow
the building to be used as a mu¬
sic building or as a regular class¬
room building. The lower floor
is designated as a practice room
that will house the band and or¬
chestra as well as the choral
groups. The remaining two floors
are designed as regular class¬
rooms with semi-permanent parti¬
tions. This arrangement will bring
the music classes under one roof
instead of the five different build¬
ings in which classes are now
held.
The original building that is
now being used for the Music
Department was built in 1912
and, needless to say, is far from
adequate. As an indication of the
urgent need for classrooms, the
third floor is already promised as
temporary space for the Mathe¬
matics Department. Also incor¬
porated in the new building will
be a temporary room for the ba¬
sic communications classes.
