Several voice solos will be of¬ fered, along with ensemble and instrumental presentations. Slated for future events are the Trojan String Quartet of USC, an opera workshop, and a jazz pro¬ gram which will present Pasa¬ dena City College’s Hi-liters, as well as several combos and in¬ dividual instrumentalists. STUDENT CONVENTION The settings, however, are the same in order to give the impres¬ sion of unity of mood, theme, and characterization. “TABLE BY THE Window,” the first one-act play, concerns a dramatic love story about a man and a woman who have been di¬ vorced for several years and meet again accidentally in a pri¬ vate English hotel where they find love and faith again. Lloyd Steele , veteran PCC ac¬ tor and director with eight hit plays in his background, plays the lead role of John Malcolm. The part of the feminine divorcee is interpreted by Sheran Bateman. “TABLE NUMBER Seven,” the second one-act play, is the story of Major Pollock who becomes the object of a conspiracy of the other residents of the hotel who are plotting to eject him. It is a fascinating study of hu¬ man nature and the triumph of kindness and decency in a very imperfect world. Major Pollock is played by Alan Davies, who is originally from London, England. Marcia Musser will enact the part of the feminine lead named Sibyl. “Separate Tables,” directed at PCC by Mrs. Annabel A. Cooney, provides comedy and drama in both one-act plays and represents a wide variety of plot. cial performance in front of the Administration Building. The band will present a music¬ al variety show, featuring old Board approves appointment of 3 to Men’s Council Early last week Jack Castagna, Bob Hutchins, and Wayne White- hill were appointed to fill vacan¬ cies in the college’s Men’s Council.

Their appointment brings the total membership of the council to its quota of ten. Other Lan¬ cers on the Men’s Council are Bob Grant, chairman; Tom Nun¬ ley, Allan Gaul, Doug Perry, and Doug Dutton. Baughman also stated that sev¬ eral coeds would be appointed to the Women’s Council later this week.

March will be observed as Red Cross Month across the nation, and students at PCC are urged to demonstrate their responsibility to the community by supporting this worthwhile endeavor.. Collections will be made dur¬ ing the 9 o’clock hour. If no rep¬ resentative is present, teachers are urged to appoint another per¬ son to collect the money and de¬ posit it in the College Bank. nior Colleges.” “In this discussion,” quoted the dean, “I will cover some of the basic problems which students en¬ counter while seeking admission to a junior college. “THESE INCLUDE such items as admission to college transfer work, special programs such as nursing, admission on probation, admission with honors at en¬ trance, and others.” “Actually,” Mr. Twomey con¬ tinued, “it is an annual confer¬ ence of leadership groups of American junior colleges for the purpose of identifying the prob¬ lems which face the JC’s of the country and to determine possible solutions to these various ques¬ tions.” IT WILL BE the job of the dele¬ gates to study how other junior colleges throughout the nation are planning to meet the problems which will come with the expected growth due in American colleges during the next few years. In California alone, 220,000 stu¬ dents are expected in the state’s stands at 165,000 and the exist¬ ing colleges are already bulging at the seams, according to Dean Twomey. Conference sites are selected in different parts of the nation so that each area will have better representation. time selections, excerpts from the classics, and numbers from three Broadway shows, “Flower Drum Song,” “The Music Man,” and “Carousel.” IN “THE LIGHT Cavalry Over¬ ture,” the band will be playing a number that was a “must” for ev¬ ery city or town’s local contingent of musicians. “In recent years,” commented Band Director Robert Fleury, “this piece has been neglected and we hope that we may be able to bring it back a little.” One other number flitting into the old time category which the band will perform is “Manhattan Beach,” written by the master of the marches, John Philip Sousa. THE PERCUSSION section and the trombones will be featured in various special selections. The en¬ tire ensemble will also play a med¬ ley from their Tournament of Roses season. On Friday evening, the PCC bandsmen will present a special benefit concert to help build in¬ terest in their proposed trip to the “Festival of Flowers” in San An¬ tonio, Texas, April 19-24. They will perform in Sexson Audito¬ rium at 8:15 p.m. At this time, they will play mu¬ sic from Cinerama and selections from the “Yellowstone Suite,” il¬ lustrating the natural wonders of the national park. “BY USING various instru¬ ments and combinations,” Fleury stated, “the band will describe in music some of the wonders of the park, including waterfalls and many other spectacles.” Trombonist Richard Shearer will also be featured in a solo per¬ formance of “Andante” from a cello sonata by Haydn. The band itself is composed of 72 students, representing 76 dif¬ ferent high schools and 14 differ¬ ent states of the Union. 'Witches’ star in third PCC interdepartmental film feature Witches may be regarded as a thing of the past, but they’ll be brought back on film Monday in the third interdepartmental movie, “Bell, Book and Candle.” The various departments at Pasadena City College will screen the feature at 3:15 in the afternoon and again at 7:15 p.m. _ Kim Novak, Jack Lemmon, and Elsa Lanchester star as a Manhat¬ tan family of witches and war- locks while James Stewart and Ernie Kovaks are featured on the “normal” side of the balance.

From that point on, Miss Novak becomes bewitched by Stewart’s charm and he in turn is spell¬ bound by her mystic personality. Naturally, Stewart (who by this time is a “bewildered” book pub¬ lisher) cannot resist and this is where the witchy Miss Novak be¬ comes worried for she wants to win a man with her own womanly wiles. Therefore, she forsakes witchcraft. WHAT HAPPENS from here is best left to the imagination. Add a bourbon drinking writer (Kovaks), the “way-out” bongo playing of Lemmon and a spell¬ spreading cat named Pywacut to the already out-of-the-ordinary happenings, and “Bell, Book and Candle” certainly becomes a mo¬ vie well worth seeing. Tickets may be purchased for 50 cents from any member of the various department councils or at the box office at the time of the -performance.
