Lectures Tuesday
Dr. Claude A. Buss, an author¬
ity on American foreign policy,
will lecture on the topic “Looking
Ahead in Southeast Asia” at next
week’s Tuesday Evening Forum
at 8 p.m. in Sexson Auditorium.
The public is invited to attend at

Dr. Buss will discuss the com¬
plex policies and issues and possi¬
bilities of peace in Southeast
Asia.
By intense study, teaching, and
travel in the Far East for more
than 20 years, Dr. Buss has at¬
tempted to uncover methods for
the United States to better its dip¬
lomatic position in Asia.
In recent years, he has been in
the Far East on assignment for
the State Department. He has
just completed a year’s service as
lecturer at the National War Col¬
lege.
An author and frequent contrib¬
utor to professional and popular
magazines, Dr. Buss’ most recent
publications include “Areas of
Crisis,” “People’s Republic of
China,” and “Asia and the Mod¬
ern World.”
PCC to Present
Plan for Selection
of Queen, Court
PCC administrators, faculty,
and student leaders will formu¬
late a plan this month to guaran¬
tee that Rose Queen selection pro¬
cedures meet the college’s prohibi¬
tion of racial discrimination.
In a three-hour meeting on De¬
cember 18, the group decided to
recommend its plan to Dr. Robert
Jenkins, Pasadena superintendent
of schools, at the end of this
month. Dr. Jenkins is then ex¬
pected to forward the plan to the
Board of Education for considera¬
tion.
A joint statement issued after
the meeting said, in part: “Pasa¬
dena City College as a matter of
policy offers its services and op¬
portunities to the entire student
body without regard to race, na¬
tional origin, or creed.
“In view of the increasing, per¬
sistent, and annual concern about
the selection procedure for the
Tournament of Roses queen and
court, the urgency for changing
that procedure demands the im¬
mediate attention of the college
community.”
General student consensus is
that PCC participation should con¬
tinue down to the judging of the
court. Presently, the Tournament
of Roses controls the selection
sessions after the queen contest¬
ants are reduced to 175.
PCC’s major student groups —
the ASB Board, the ASB Cabi¬
net, and the Senate — have gone
on record favoring a study to re¬
vise selection methods.
Nedra Winans, a Mississippi civil rights worker, taunted a PCC
audience recently for its lack of patriotism and principles in not aiding
Southern Negroes.
Miss Winans, a 21-year-old UC Berkeley student, lectured at a
special program sponsored by the College Student Human Relations
Committee. She recently returned from a seven month stay in Mis¬
sissippi and related the experiences of registration volunteers.
SHE DESCRIBED countless incidents of corruption in Mississippi.
The legal establishment is also totally prejudiced, she said, because
Presidents like Kennedy and Johnson let Southern congressmen elect
the Southern federal judges. This process, known as Senatorial
courtesy, is responsible for many of the Negroes’ problems.
She added, however, that when Republicans like Eisenhower are in
office, there are no Southern Republican congressmen to consult with;
thus, unprejudiced judges are appointed.
MISS WINANS also emphasized that the Civil Rights Act was
unnecessary because there have always been numerous federal laws
capable of ending segregation and racial evils. She noted that the
problem is that Johnson and the FBI are fearful of enforcing these
laws.
She ended her speech by baiting the audience to action. “You
have read about these things in science, psychology, and sociology
classes, but you will not know about them until you get into society.
Get out of college for awhile. Quit school and go down to the South.”
There were no volunteers.

City Directors Grant Easement
of Street Parking Restrictions
Pasadena City College students
have been granted an easing of
on-street parking restrictions
around the campus.
The Pasadena Board of Direc¬
tors officially approved an ASB
proposal last Tuesday which was
submitted to it in late August.
One-hour parking zones will be
changed from the present 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 11 a.m. to
6 p.m. The new regulations will
go into effect as soon as the Traf¬
fic Engineering Department in¬
stalls the new signs.
The lack of restriction before
11 a.m. will end the hourly shuf¬
fle of automobiles which causes
congestion and noise in the area.
The limits will remain in effect
after 11 a.m. when it is felt that
campus parking lots are adequate
to accommodate all student cars.
The parking plan was devised
by Senate President Dennis
Thompson and received unani¬
mous endorsement from the Asso¬
ciated Student Body and the Pas¬
adena Board of Education.
Thompson personally presented
the proposal to the Board of Di¬
rectors four months prior to final
approval.
