State Tournament at Cerritos
College Tomorrow
Pasadena
By John Maffei
The stage is set and the teams
are ready for tomorrow night’s
opening tip-off of the 1968 Cali¬
fornia State Junior College Bas¬
ketball Playoffs at Cerritos Col¬
lege in Norwalk.
The Pasadena City College Lan¬
cers play the most unknown
team in the tourney, DeAnza Col¬
lege of Cuperinto, in the opening
round at 9 p.m.
The story behind DeAnza’s ap¬
pearance in the playoffs is an in¬
triguing one, to say the least. De¬
Anza, the representative from
Coast Conference, did not finish
first or second or even third in
the -final standings.
PCC’s Lancers were set to play
Laney College of Oakland only to
find out that Laney had four in¬
eligible men on the squad and
forfeited its games.
THE championship of the Coast
Conference then fel to West Val¬
ley. But it was discovered that
West Valley had a player who
was in his tenth semester of jun-
CC Fates
ior college work; West Valley for¬
feited its games.
Gavilan College was the next
one to try to grasp the slippery
Coast Conference crown, but be¬
fore the title had time to set, it
was discovered the Gavilan had
six ineligible players.
So little DeAnza College, that
had finished fourth in the confer-
De Anxa
ence, was awarded the title and
the right to meet the Lancers
tomorrow night.
There were many other goings
on of interest before the final
teams were set for the playoffs.
The Eastern Conference race be¬
tween Orange Coast College and
Fullerton College went down to
the final night of the season. OCC
defeated Fullerton, 97-85 at Ful¬
lerton’s gym to take the title.
THE PACIFIC Southwest Con¬
ference had Grossmont College
as its leader the whole season,
but scrappy San Diego College
stayed in the race and defeated
Grossmont in their head-to-head
meeting to claim first place.
Cerritos, host of the tourney,
Metropolitan Conference kingpin
and number-three rated team in
the state, had to survive a pre¬
playoff with Imperial Valley Col¬
lege to gain a berth in the tour¬
nament. Cerritos downed Imper¬
ial Valley 86-75 Saturday night.
City College of San Francisco
also had to do battle in a pre¬
playoff contest. CCSF had to play
unknown Siskiyou College. It was
feared that Siskiyou might upset
CCSF, but the bay area boys
bombed Siskiyou 91-65 to gain the
berth.
Tomorrow’s opening round
games pit number-two rated
Hancock against San Diego at 3
p.m. San Francisco will tackle
Orange Coast at 5 p.m. San Joa¬
quin Delta will meet host Cerri¬
tos at 7 p.m. Pasadena will meet
DeAnza at 9 p.m. in the feature
game.
If the Lancers win tomorrow,
they will play at 9 o’clock again
on Friday against the winner of
the Hancock-San Diego game, and
if PCC wins again on Friday, the
team will play at 9 on Saturday.

Human Values vs. Technology:
Theme of College Convocation
EX-MARINE SERGEANT — Jim Kyles, who spent four years with
the U.S. Marines, including a year in Vietnam, returned to civilian
life and became a catering truck vendor. This is the fourth se¬
mester he has served the PCC campus.
“Human conflict in a techno¬
logical age.”
That is the theme of PCC’s
fourth annual College Convoca¬
tion set for next Wednesday and
Thursday, March 13 and 14.
Featured will be three outstand¬
ing scholars, who combine skills
in philosophy, sociology, psychol¬
ogy, education, and literature, ac¬
cording to Richard Woods of
PCC’s English Department, co-
chairman of the convocation.
Participants are Sister Helen
Kelley, PhD, president, Immacu¬
late Heart College, Los Angeles;
Dr. Richard E. Farson, director,
Western Behavioral Sciences In¬
stitute, La Jolla; and Dr. Harold
Taylor, former president of Sarah
Lawrence College, and interna¬
tionally famed philosopher and

with a general session in Sexson
Auditorium, Wednesday from 9

chem class? Or a doughnut and
a bottle of apple juice at your 10
o’clock break? How about a sand¬

The man to see is Jim Kyles,
operator of the OKeh Catering
wagon that serves students from
a parking spot of the campus
side of' Sierra Bonita in the area
known as the “pits.”
Jaycee Aid Hike
Asked in Bill
A bill to increase a category of
support for junior colleges and
to freeze their character as com¬
munity-type institutions has been
introduced by Assemblyman John
L. E. Collier of South Pasadena.
AB 458 would bring the state’s
allocation of support to the JC’s
on account of students in trans¬
fer credit courses up to the state¬
wide average of total current ex¬
pense of education per student in
those courses who are carrying
12 units or more of transferable
credits.
The bill also declares legislative
intent not to change the commun¬
ity college character of the insti¬
tutions and not to convert them
to four-year colleges with curric¬
ula limited to college-1 e v e 1
courses.
Finally, the bill requires an an¬
nual report to the Legislature on
any changes in the character of
enrollment in the junior colleges.
JIM, a graduate of Jones High
School, in Texas, provides his cli¬
entele with a large variety of
sandwiches, soft drinks, cakes,
cookies and candies. Jim says
that his big seller, however, is
coffee.
Faculty and students, alike
take advantage of Jim’s courte¬
ous curbside service. He arrives
at PCC at 7 a.m. each day, and
stays until 1 p.m., returning
again in the evening to serve the
extended day classes.
He is actually self-employed,
since he leases his truck from
the company, which furnishes
the truck with its products.
Kyles joined the Marines in
1963 and served four years, in¬
cluding a year in Vietnam. He
was discharged as a sergeant last
July, and came to Pasadena with
the intention of beginning his

college education last September.
A FRIEND, however, who was
in the catering business, changed
Kyles’ plans, by telling him of
the opportunities in catering.
Jim has now been serving the
campus for four semesters. He
likes the job very much since he
enjoys talking to the students
and faculty who deal with him
and he provides jobs for a few
students, who help him handle
the lunchtime crowd.
Jim sets the prices as reasona¬
bly as he can, since he says he
knows that the students don’t
have too much money. During fi¬
nals he offers free coffee. At
Christmas, Kyles gave away the
contents of his truck free, “which
is more than the cafeteria on
campus did,” Jim said.

to 10:30 a.m. Dr. Taylor and Dr.
Farson will speak.
Sr. Kelley and Dr. Taylor will
next go to separate rooms (Har-
beson Hall and 200C) to hold in¬
formal discussions with students
and faculty members from 11 a.m.
to noon.
Following lunch, from 1 to 3
p.m., Dr. Farson will work with
students in Harbeson Hall in a
“minilaboratory” in human rela¬
tions.
He conducted such a minilab
late last month at the University
of Texas. As Dr. Farson explains
it, “It is simply a series of exer¬
cises which people do individually,
in pairs, and in small groups.”
A NEWS report of Dr. Farson’s
minilab at Texas notes that “he
is one of the newer psychologists
who believes that the human
problems of our time will not be
resolved by technical experts but
by tapping the human potentials
of those who present the prob¬
lems — the people themselves.”
Eleven hundred students and
faculty members “turned out at
the U of Texas to be turned on,”
wrote the newsman.
Sr. Kelley and Dr. Taylor will
open the convocation Thursday
with brief talks in Sexson Audi¬
torium from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in
another general session.
The three participants will split
up at 10:45, one going to Harbe¬
son Hall, one to 200C, and one to
the Campus Center lounge, for in¬
formal, smaller discussion groups.
FACULTY members and stu¬
dents will lead the discussions,
with the speakers available to
answer questions and to react to
what is being said, or what was
said in previous sessions.
A faculty meeting from 12 to
12:30 will feature the guests, who
will answer questions from PCC’s
teachers.
Sr. Kelley, who has served as
chief executive of Immaculate
Heart since 1963, was dean of the
graduate school there the previ¬
Elton Davis Will Lecture
Tomorrow in Harbeson
Dr. Elton Davis, PCC professor, will speak on “Breaking Through
Our Alienation,” tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. to noon in Harbeson Hall.
According to Dr. Davis, “Alienation is playing a role so com¬
pletely that through the role we lose our real self. We cover up our
real self with politeness and conventions and often defend this role
to death!”
Dr. Davis said that to “break through alienation there must be a
powerful, sharp thrust, which is almost a shock.”
There are different approaches to the breaking through of alien¬
ation, many of them being used in churches. One approach is group
therapy. Through sensitivity training, direct and real experience can
bring insight into the problem of alienation.
For six years Dr. Davis was a minister in the Church of Christ.
For another six years he served PCC as the school psychologist. He
has done part-time teaching at USC and Pepperdine. At PCC he teaches
psychology and introduction to social sciences.
ous three years.
A 1949 graduate of Immaculate
Heart, Sr. Kelley received her MA
and PhD degrees from St. Louis
University in 1954 and 1958. She
then joined the faculty of Immec-
ulate Heart as a professor of so¬
ciology.
SR. KELLEY was one of the
participants in PCC’s first convo¬
cation in 1964, which was enthusi¬
astically received by students.
Supported by a grant from the
Radcliffe Institute for Individual
Studies, Sr. Kelley has made in¬
tensive investigations of the aims
and achievements of higher edu¬
cation for women.
Dr. Farson earned his BA and
MA degrees at Occidental College
in 1947 and 1951. His PhD was
earned in 1955 at the University
of Chicago, where he served as a
research associate at the universi¬
ty’s Industrial Relations Center
in 1954 and 1955.
Since that time he has been a
research officer for the U.S. Nav¬
al Personnel Research Field Ac¬

Music Dept.
Sets Opera
By Linda Folker
Hawaii calls the Lancer Band!
The Pasadena City College
Music Department presents the
Wagner opera “The Ring of Nibel-
ung,” Sunday, March 1, at 3 p.m.
in Sexson Auditorium for a $1
donation to the band’s tour fund.
The performance is arranged by
the Wolfram Foundation, a non¬
profit organization, at no cost to
PCC so that all proceeds will ben¬
efit the tour fund for Hawaii.
“The Ring of Nibelung” is a
legendary tale from ancient Ger¬
many, about man’s search for
power. The Ring symbolizes that
power.
“The Ring” is divided into four
separate but intregrated parts —
Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Sieg¬
fried, and Gotterdammerung.
Drawing on the marvels of an
electronic age, Wolfram uses a
musical dramalogue to depict and
explain these allegorical tales.
He brings this capsule drama¬
logue form through live actors
and dancers, plus 2,000 pounds of
the latest high fidelity recording
equipment, speakers, projectors,
amplifiers and a specially con¬
structed mobile light control
panel.
The result has been a musical
“happening” — a unique present¬
ation in which Wolfram and his
daughter, Evelyn Machtel, are the
dramatists. Miss Machtel received
her bachelor and master dgrees in
theater arts at the Pasadena Play¬
house.
