Lancers to Attend
MUN Conference
at Men’s College
Eleven PCC students will spend
Saturday at Claremont Men’s Col¬
lege attending the Model United
Nations Southwestern Regional
Conference. They will represent
not only Portugal, the country
that they are going to defend
April 15-18 in Spokane, but also
the United States. San Jose State,
which will represent the US at
Spokane, will be at a different re¬
gional conference.
Attending the conference will
be Kathy Kavanaugh, Nellie Cos¬
tales, Kerry Johnson, delegation
chairman Ken Keller, David Lai-
dig, David Robinson, Nigel Steven¬
son, Jane Van Brunt, George
Wagoner, Gail Watson, and Judy
Wright.
Participation in the regional is
valuable for the experience the
delegation members receive, ac¬
cording to Adviser Harold Han¬
sen. The committees of the Model
UN use rules slightly different
from the familiar Robert’s Rules
of Order. Countries who know
these rules can use them to great
advantage, and dominate a com¬
mittee, a delegation spokesman
said.
ADVISER RESIGNS — Social Science instructor John Madden tells
campus Young Republicans his reasons for resigning as their ad¬
viser. He is at odds with the state YR leadership and convention
resolutions.

THE CONVOCATION is being
sponsored by the Pasadena City
Schools administrators and the
Pasadena City College Faculty As¬
sociation. A grant from the Na¬
tional Defense Education Act Ad¬
ministration of the State Depart¬
ment of Education is making the
program possible.
In discussing this first College
Convocation, Dr. Catherine Rob¬
bins, president of PCC, said, “The
Pasadena City College convoca¬
tion is a very constructive activity
to emphasize college scholarship,
self-evaluation by the institution
and its staff, and creative think¬
ing.
Work Begins On
New Classrooms
Phase two of PCC’s construc¬
tion program began last Monday
when heavy machinery broke
ground for two new buildings on
the east side of campus.
Under construction are a 20,400
square foot five-story academic
building, and a 46,400 square foot
technology building for the in¬
struction of electronics, measure¬
ments and testing, welding, and
related subjects.
“Money for the buildings comes
from a 1958 bond issue of $5 mil¬
lion,” said John E. Twomey, dean
of administration. Funds from
the bond have already been used
to build the Campus Center, the
Women’s Gym, and the Service
Center.
Norman Toombs, of Contractor,
Inc., underbid competitors for the
job with a bid of $2,922,443. Alli¬
son and Rible are consulting and
master planning architects. Plans
call for both buildings to have con¬
temporary design and air condi¬
tioning.
Faculty who parked in the area
now under construction may park
on the north section of the Sierra
Bonita parking lots.
“Stress on the relationships be¬
tween the sciences and the hu¬
manities in the space race is a
vital part of the semester’s con¬
vocation program.
“The college is continually seek¬
ing the highest goals for staff,
students, and the community. The
college convocation will give us
added inspiration toward these
goals.”

Tryouts for majorettes, drum

'Medea' Tragedy
on Sexson Stage
“Medea,” a tragedy by Eurip¬
ides, will be presented in Sexson
Auditorium, Friday and Saturday
at 8:15 p.m. It will be produced
by the PCC Theater Arts Associa¬
tion.
Robinson Jeffers’ version of
“Medea,” the tale of a sorceress
who wreaks a terrible vengeance
on her faithless husband, will be
directed by Donald Ewing, with
technical direction by Donald
Keck.
The production will utilize the
original incidental music by Ty-
bor Serly, performed under the
supervision of Dr. Robert Fleury
by Music Department students.
“Many playgoers will remem¬
ber ‘Medea’ as a vehicle for Ju¬
dith Anderson, for whom it was
written by Jeffers, and who play¬
ed it in New York, on the road,
and on television,” said Ewing.
Yet, he feels the play “is not a
tour de force for a single actress,
the other roles being exceptionally
well written and sharply contrast¬
ed.”
Jeffers’ version was selected
for presentation because it closely
resembles the original in struc¬
ture and feeling, yet is written in
language common to our modern
ear.
Members of the cast include
Gene Gould (Medea), Annette Cul¬
ver (Nurse), Gerald Wilson (Ja¬
son), Craig Holden (Creon), Mich¬
ael Madach (Aegeus), and Jerry
Laing (Tutor). Medea’s two sons
will be played by Mona Richard¬
son and Chris Duncan.
Other players include Pat Mac-
Nab, Marsha Duncan, John Britt,
Joe Brown, Brandt Johnson,
James Webber, Antonia Coviello,
Sharon Button, and Colette Burre.
Admission to the performance
is by ticket, which may be ob¬
tained in the Speech Office for
$1. ASB members are admitted
free by exchanging the coupon in
the ASB book for a ticket. Fac¬
ulty members will be admitted
upon presentation of their identi¬
fication card.

from “Medea/ 'the current PCC Theater Arts Association produc¬
tion. Mike Madach, Antonia Coviello, and Gene Gould also star
in the play.
suicide in the name of voluntar¬
ism.”
Madden said that his associa¬
tion with the PCC group “lends
support” to the CYR, and that he
could not “in good conscience”
endorse the policies of that group.
He termed the leadership of
CYR “dangerous to the Republi¬
can Party in California and to
Republicanism in general.”
The economics instructor later
explained that one of his chief ob¬
jections to CYR was the group’s
endorsement of the proposed “Lib¬
erty Amendment” to the US Con¬
stitution, which would abolish fed¬
eral income tax.
WITH AN election year ahead,
Madden’s resignation came at a
critical time for campus YR’s.
Beam and the new slate of spring
officers now face the task of bol¬
stering the club’s unity and mor¬
ale for work in the forthcoming
June primary election campaign.
YR work under Madden includ¬
ed sponsorship of several noted
conservative speakers on campus,
including W. L. “Bill’ Richardson
of the John Birch Society, and
columnist George Todt of the Los
Angeles Herald-Examiner.
Producer to Tell
Tuesday Forum
of Northern Italy
Stan Walsh, film producer and
civil engineer, will narrate his
film, “Northern Italy: Its Politi¬
cal, Economic, and Cultural Pro¬
gress,” at the Tuesday Evening
Forum in Sexson Auditorium,
March 17 at 8 p.m.
Walsh’s color film focuses chief¬
ly upon the province of Tuscany,
and its political, cultural, and fi¬
nancial creativity. Included are
scenes of pre-Roman Etruria,
Florence, and San Gimignano. He
includes shots from Assissi and
Siena, homes of St. Francis and
St. Catherine. Tuscany won fame
as the home of Galileo and subse¬
quent scientific developments. Pic¬
tured also are the financial indus¬
tries, silkworm cultivation, steel
works, ship yards, and various
other crafts.
The producer lived in Europe
for five years and with his cam¬
era captured many subjects rarely
seen by the casual visitor. Along
with producing the first complete
color film on Tuscany, he also
filmed short subjects along the
Rhine, in Scotland, and in London.
Walsh gained earlier film pro¬
duction and travel experience as
a navigator and mission photog¬
rapher with the Ninth Air Force
during World War II. He is a
graduate of USC, where he ma¬
jored in civil engineering. His en¬
gineering activities have taken
him throughout the nation and
abroad. He was a member of a
planning team for NATO bases in
Western Europe and North Af¬
rica.
The public is invited without
charge and ample seating will be
available after 8 p.m.
