Convocation Chairman Frank J. Ziol, associate professor of engi¬ neering and technology, said he was greatly pleased at the re¬ sponse to the first sections of the Convocation. He said he was grat¬ ified not only with “the stimulat¬ ing speakers” but also with the student and faculty turnout. ON FRIDAY morning Ziol ex¬ pressed his delight with the pro¬ gram to Lancers at the general session when he said, “After the first stimulating session yester¬ day, and with still three-quarters of the speakers left to speak and two-thirds of the Convocation ses¬ sions remaining, we can look anx¬ iously forward to the rest of the program.” Kicking-off the Convocation on Thursday was Dr. Walter Buck¬ ingham, director of the School of Industrial Management at the Georgia Institute of Technology, who spoke on “Automation: An Impacting Force.” Dr. Bucking¬ ham outlined some of the prob¬ lems which automated societies must face now and in the future. He identified the reluctance of people to hire Negro workers, the increase in crime, and the rise in divorce rates as a few of these problems. • Continued on Page Four . ■S: 1111*11 .

The PCC delegates will meet with representatives from 10 oth¬ er junior colleges.

Bob Bordwell, student body president, will lead the PCC dele¬ gation. Other conference repre- Co llegiates Await Volunteer Work More than 50 Lancers await re¬ sults of Peace Corps placement tests they took last week after filling out questionnaires and con¬ ferring with two volunteers, Su¬ san Mennis, just back from Co¬ lombia, South America, and Roger Banks, recently returned from northern India. Besides answering queries at the information table in Campus Center, Banks and Miss Mennis spoke to several engineering, vo¬ cational nursing, and sociology classes. Peace Corps volunteer question¬ naires still may be obtained from Dean of Guidance and Counseling Cleon L. Butz, in 112C, or from most post offices and the Wash¬ ington Peace Corps office. These questionnaires must be completed before a student may be tested by the organization. New Bill Takes Action Against Office Conduct Due to complications which have arisen over what the ASB offices should and should not be used for, a bill is under consider¬ ation which clarifies the problem. The McLinn- Jefferson Bill de¬ clares the ASB office typewriters for official student body business only; prohibits the use of the of¬ fices for personal use; prohibits students who do not hold Board or Cabinet positions from using the offices; and bans eating in the offices. Because the above rules were frequently violated during the fall semester of 1964, it was felt by ASB personnel that strict en¬ forcement must be applied. There¬ fore, the bill resolves that the sec¬ ond violation of this code will re¬ sult in removal from office of the student involved for the duration of the semester.

Tickets to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production featuring Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard will go on sale for 50 cents at ticket tables located in front of the Campus Center and Sexson Auditorium tomorrow. The movie is based on the novel by Charles Nordoff and James Norman Hall and is a stirring tale of the sea. This 1962 version has been described as “technically magnificent.” Marlon Brando’s interpretation of Fletcher Christian has been reviewed as “unusual and forceful.” Howard portrays Capt. William Bligh, notorious .for the inhuman treatment of his crew, and the counterpart to Brando. The film also has been noted for its dramatic visual interpre¬ tation of storm scenes. Proceeds from the movie will be used for departmental scholar¬ ships and awards. t J > 7 — Courier photo by Stan Carstensen AUTOMATION VS. EMPLOYMENT — Dr. Catherine J.
