College president
addresses meeting
Pasadena City College president Dr. Catherine J. Robbins
will address the junior college section of the California Asso¬
ciation of Women Deans and Vice-principals when the group
meets in Coronado this Saturday. Dr. Robbins, who is a for¬
mer vice-president of the organi¬
zation, will fly to Coronado Friday
to attend the southern regional
meeting of the association.
Using the topic, “Women Exec¬
utives,” Dr. Robbins will discuss
the principles of leadership as
they apply to both men and wom¬
en in executive positions.
According to Dr. Robbins, her
speech will stress the importance
of liking one’s work. It is es¬
sential “to be excited about the
job; its ideals, goals, and respon¬
sibilities,” commented the college
president.
“In any job,” she continued, “it
is important to devote time to
leisure and fun.” In her address
Dr. Robbins will stress that one
who enjoys his vocation will find
it provides many opportunities
for fun.
The Southern California region
of the association, under the di¬
rection of Miss Ethelrose Orloff,
assistant dean of student activities
at Los Angeles City College,
meets bi-annually. The entire as¬
sociation convenes in the alter¬
nate years.

papers as part of the College

Members of the Pasadena City
College International Relations
Club will attend mock nominating
conventions next month at Occi¬
dental and Los Angeles State Col¬
leges.
The events are planned to co¬
incide with the national nominat¬
ing conventions of both the Re¬
publican and Democratic Parties
slated for later this spring.
The student Republican conven¬
tion will be held April 22 at near¬
by Oxy while the Democratic con¬
vention will gather at LA State
the following day.
Colleges and universities in the
Southern California area slate the
mock conventions each election
year to exchange ideas concerning
political candidates and to stimu¬
late interest in the coming presi¬
dential elections.
Advisers Donald Proctor and
Vance Burch of the International
Relations Club, which is co-spon¬
soring the PCC delegation with
the Social Science Council, are
preparing the delegates for the
two conventions.
AWS leads search
College delegates represent
Turkey at annual Model UN
Turkey, which is rich in culture and history, and impor¬
tant among the leading nations in the world, will be repre¬
sented by PCC at the Model United Nations, held at the Uni¬
versity of California, Berkeley, April 6-9. The task of the
Lancer delegation will be to ac¬
quire enough background mate¬
rial of their country to be able to
initiate and help pass resolutions
that would benefit Turkey.
In order to understand the
Turkish viewpoint on issues be¬
fore the United Nations, the In¬
ternational Relations Club recent¬
ly sponsored a lecture on Middle
Eastern affairs.
As a further aid in acquiring a
mid-Orient outlook, the delegation
has been presented an authentic
Turkish prayer rug.
This is the only accessory they
will need to show their “nation¬
ality” at the MUN, because Tur¬
key has long since abandoned the
fez and veil as symbols of back¬
wardness. Today, the common
dress in Turkey is the same as
can be found in any modern city
in the Western world.
Understanding the past and
present history of the Turks is
only part of the task before the
MUN representatives. The young
“Turks” must also be well versed
in the official parliamentary pro¬
cedure peculiar to the United Na¬
tions and be entirely familiar
with the structure and function¬
ing of the UN.
At Berkeley, two members from
each of the 83 delegations will
serve on each of the five commit¬
tees. During three days of com¬
mittee meetings, each country will
compete for leadership of its
“block” of nations.
On the last day of the confer¬
ence, the resolutions accepted in
the committees will' be presented
to the General Assembly, where
all countries will vote on the pro¬
posals.

demic year 1960-61.
As department chairman, Mr.
Olson will succeed Dr. L. Clark
Lay who has accepted a position
as a professor in the Education
and Mathematics Department at
Orange Coast State College.
When Dr. Lay leaves in Sep¬
tember, he will be the second
member of the PCC administra¬
tion to accept a post at Orange
Coast College. Dr. William Langs-
dorf resigned as president of PCC
last year to head the new school.
Displaying the beautifully embroidered Turkish
THEY’RE prayer rug which PCC’s delegation to the Model
TALKING United Nations will take with them to Berkeley, are
TURKEY Diane Donaldson, Mike Kavanagh, BUI Welch, Dick
Kusserow, Alex Finta, and Jan Carver.
°No more books
Students are respectfully re¬
quested to refrain from using
“blackbooks” or other pledge-
books on campus. The circula¬
tion of such books has brought
severe criticism of the college
from parents, teachers, and the
community.
for local 'Big man’
Six Uasadena City College specimens of everything- that-
could-be-desired-in-a-male, are currently trying to convince the
college student body that they should be voted “Big Man on
Campus” in the annual AWS-sponsored contest. The penny-
a-vote balloting has been going
on all this week in the main hall
of the Administration Building
and will continue until Friday.
Entered in the contest are
Wayne Whitehill, representing
Spartans; Roy Baughman, WAA;
Larry Dominguez, Music Depart¬
ment; Bob Grant, home econom¬
ics; Bob Hutchins, Newman Club;
and Maurice Gendron, internation¬
al students.
WHITEHILL has been active
in school affairs as last fall’s
ASB president, president of both
Circle
К
and OMD, a star mem¬
ber of the Lancer grid squad, and
in many other campus activities.
Baughman, current ASB prexy,
has also made his mark in Circle
K, as past AMS president, and
through various other aspects of
campus life.
As president of the Lancer Band
and activities in other musical
areas at the college, Dominguez
added his name to those interested
in PCC. He is also a member of
OMD, tapped last January.
HUTCHINS HAS served as an
active member of Circle
К
and
is the present head of the AMS
Board. Grant, also a member of
Circle K, has acted as civil serv¬
ice commissioner and past OMD
president.
Gendron has been very active in
serving the interests of the many
foreign students enrolled on the
PCC campus.
Proceeds from the contest will
go into the AWS fund to help
carry out various service projects
during the semester. Currently,
they are holding fashion modeling
tryouts in preparation for their
April 5 program.
The gentleman voted this year’s
Big Man will receive a trophy
acclaiming his achievement and
will be crowned at the AMS-AWS
dance in April.
Coordinating the BMOC con¬
test for AWS are Marlene Jack,
Carolyn Schultz, and Marilyn
Vore.
