LATE FLASH
Board names new
Lancer mentor
Bob Bastian, line coach at Pasa¬
dena City College for the past two
years, was appointed head foot¬
ball coach of the Lancer gridders
late last night by the Board of
Education.
Bastian succeeds the retiring A1
Learned who announced his re¬
tirement from coaching several
months ago.
PCC’s new grid mentor said
that the appointment -“caught me
by surprise” although his appli¬
cation had been in the hands of
Pasadena School Board officials
since the middle of February.
Bastian figures on using a more
widespread variation of the T for¬
mation next year, rather than the
winged T employed by Learned.

He stresses that the lecture is
comprehensible to elementary
chemistry students who have not
yet studied the organic fields. All

attend.
Dean stresses
conservation need
“Conservation at the college is a
continuing thing,” commented Ad¬
ministrative Dean Armen Sarafi-
an as PCC joined the rest of the
nation in observing Conservation
Week, March 7-14.
Although no special observance
has been planned for the college,
excepting a display in the show
case outside of Sexson Auditori¬
um, the dean urged that students
and faculty alike should “take
care of natural resources and
man-made goods as best they
can.”
He also stressed that students
should be aware of the growing
water shortage in California and
should do everything in their pow¬
er to see that the state’s water
supply is not wasted.

features of the house include
aluminum siding, sliding glass
doors, a built-in food center, and
baseboard electric heating.
Other features will be revealed
when the house is opened for pub¬
lic display, April 20. It will con¬
tinue to be available for examina¬
tion through May 25.
All written material should be
submitted to Ivan Jones in the
Pipes of Pan Office, 115C, or left
in the Pipes of Pan box in the
English Office.
This year the editorial staff of
the Pipes of Pan include Edward
Schwartz, editor; Linda Schaller,

AFTER THAT, bids will be ac¬
cepted on the home which, ac¬
cord to the project’s adviser, Dean
Reinhold, could not be construct¬
ed for less than $15,000 by a pri¬
vate party.
The house’s construction is done
under the watchful eye of Rein¬
hold by the building construction
classes at the college, whose mot¬
to is that builders profit greatly
from a learn-by-doing situation.
IF TIME IS any measure of the
statement’s validity, then it is cer¬
tainly true for approximately 75
per cent of the students who grad¬
uate from this course have quick¬
ly been placed in leading posi¬
tions in the construction field or
have successfully started their
own businesses.
PCC initiated the learn-by-doing
house project 11 years ago. Since
then other schools have recog¬
nized the value of such a teaching
method and have incorporated it
into their own system.
The success of the college’s
building program has been dem¬
onstrated by the fact that each
student-built home has been pur¬
chased after its completion by an
eager public.
nificant because Turkey is in the
top of the news. It is the strong¬
est power in the explosive Middle
East and has the only completely
armed force in that area of the
world.
“Fighting like a Turk” is a by¬
word in every language, and all
Middle East nations fear her
strength. She sits under the nose
of Russia and blocks her progress
over land and sea through the
Bosporus.
RUSSIA HAS tried to seek her
friendship, to infiltrate, to threat¬
en, but the Turks won’t budge.
Neil Douglas has won the repu¬
tation of being one of America’s
top producers of documentary
films.

Lady bandsmen of the United States Air Force will camp briefly
at Pasadena City College in order to entertain the “troops” of college
students and faculty at tomorrow’s assembly in Sexson Auditorium
at 11:35 a.m.
The all-girl band, billed as the United States Air Force’s “most
attractive military showpiece” will demonstrate its versatility and
originality with a program composed of symphonic music and swing,
played with equal enthusiasm and musical precision.
The WAF performers have gained international acclaim since
their formation in 1951. They have appeared at two Presidential in¬
augurations and are said to have “captivated audiences from Puerto
Rico to Alaska.”
In addition, they have been featured on such nationally known
network television productions as “Wide Wide World,” “I’ve Got a
Secret,” “The Arthur Godfrey Show,” “Today,” and numerous other
shows produced throughout the country.
The WAF band is conducted by Capt. Marybelle J. Nissly, USAF,
