SF Valley State
After Desert Wins
PCC’s forensics squad will com¬
pete in the Southern California
Championship Debate Tourna¬
ment at San Fernando Valley
State College Friday and Satur¬
day.
The squad has had a good
showing in past weeks, winning
four out of six rounds in the Na¬
tional Desert Invitational Tourna¬
ment in Tucson, Ariz., recently;
and capturing some top honors at
a tournament in Long Beach last
weekend.
At the Desert Invitational, the
team of Marty Paskov and Bud
Zeuschner defeated debate teams
from the University of Arizona,
Stanford, and the Air Force Acad¬
emy. They were defeated in the
final rounds by Weber College
and Carbon College, both of Utah.
At Long Beach State College
last weekend, the squad again did
well. Paskov and Zeuschner
teamed up to win an “excellent”
certificate, while Brian Wardlow,
in his first tournament, won an
“excellent” certificate in extempo¬
raneous speaking. Kevin Fish-
burn, out of 70 contestants one
of five to place at the top, was
awarded a “superior” certificate
and a medal for interpretation.
The forensics program at PCC
is open to any interested student
provided he has an ASB book. One
need not be enrolled in a speech
class. Interested persons may
contact Coach Jack Bell in 20C.
Vatican Council
1st Seminar Topic

series of seminars.
Rev. George Kramer will ad¬
dress all interested students and

the seminars.
The commission plans a tour
of churches and temples of vari¬
ous denominations during the se¬

are being made by Ruth Macfar-

her committee.
The convocation, scheduled for
next Wednesday, March 11, and
Thursday, March 12, will concern
itself with PCC’s goals and ob¬
jectives during the coming years.
Miss Macfarlane is urging par¬
ticipation in the program by stu¬
dents as well as faculty members.
There are three ways in which
each student can take part in the
convocation: (1) Through class

DR. MARGARET MEAD
. . . forum speaker
By Larry Gott
The city of Pasadena will not
ease restrictions on street park¬
ing around PCC.
Joe, Eddie Bring
Folksong Talents
to ASB Assembly
Joe Gilbert and Eddie Brown —
two young folksingers usually
billed as “Joe and Eddie” — will
perform at the ASB assembly to¬
morrow at noon in Sexson Audi¬
torium.
Gilbert and Brown were born
in the South (Gilbert in New Or¬
leans, Brown in Norfolk, Va.), and
moved with their families to Ber¬
keley, Calif., as children.
ALTHOUGH they had no for¬
mal experience until high school,
Gilbert and Brown sang together
at Willard Junior High School.
Later, they were tutored by Dr.
Earl B. Blakeslee, director of
Berkeley High School’s A Cap-
pella Choir.
Joe and Eddie became a team
about eight years ago. Since then
they have been performing at fra¬
ternity and sorority parties at the
University of California.
Their “big break” came when,
at the urging of Dr. Blakeslee,
they auditioned to appear on the
Don Sherwood television show in
San Francisco.
Their appearances on this show
brought them offers from San
Francisco’s The Purple Onion and
from Leonard Sillman’s review,
“New Faces.”
SINCE THEN, they have gained
national recognition by appear¬
ances on NBC’s “Tonight” show,
the Vic Damone “Lively Ones,”
and several other leading pro¬
grams.
Soon the vocal duo will appear
on two Danny Kaye shows and
the television Hootenanny Show.
Joe and Eddie also have upcom¬
ing appearances at the Crescendo
and the Interlude in Hollywood,
Fack’s in San Francisco. Isy’s
Supper Club in Vancouver, B.C.,
and the Blue Angel in New York.
Although they specialize in rap¬
id-fire delivery of folk songs, Joe
and Eddie are equally at home
singing back in a choir loft.

In response to the Associated
Student Body’s plea for modifica¬
tion of one and two hour time lim¬
its, Traffic Analyst Ed Beech
said that there could be “no more
concessions.”
BEECH said that the city has
made all the concessions it can,
and that the Board of Directors
held off as long as possible before
posting time limits for parking
on streets adjacent to the campus.
Constant complaints and petitions
from residents and businessmen
forced this action, according to
Beech.
Wherever PCC has acquired
property, he explained, the city
has removed restrictions, so that
there is now unlimited parking
at most of the curbs bordering-
the school. He pointed out, how¬
ever, that outside these areas it
is impossible for the city to re¬
move or modify parking restric¬
tions.
Beech explained that the citi¬
zens who live in the area have
complaints as valid as those of
students. Before the area was
posted, he said, residents frequent¬
ly were called upon to pay for
damages to student autos that
they had backed into while trying
to get out of their driveways and
onto the narrow streets.
Businessmen in the immediate
vicinity of PCC also had com¬
plaints. The unrestricted parking
which existed here at one time,
and which was immediately filled
by PCC students each morning,
made it impossible for their cus¬
tomers to find parking. Their
businesses were suffering as a re¬
sult and, they, too, requested ac¬
tion by the city.
“STUDENT cars are not being
ticketed unfairly,” Beech said. “In
fact, after cars in the area are
marked, they are often given a
15-minute leeway so that their
owners will have a chance to
move them.” He also pointed out
that “the police don’t make the
laws; they only enforce them.”
Beech said that there is still un¬
limited parking available on Lo¬
cust Street, which is located par¬
allel to Walnut and one block
north. He said that despite pro¬
tests from residents, the city has
held off restricting the area, and
will continue to do so until a peti¬
tion from residents forces it to
take action.
He suggested that car pools
wherever possible might offset a
part of the problem, and he con¬
cluded that many students who
live as near as a few blocks from
the campus and no farther than
two miles could walk to and from
school “without undue strain.”
