ALL ABOARD . . . Students and adviser are Anally seeing the end of their preparation as they
prepare to leave for Corvallis, Ore., to participate in the sixth annual Model United Nations. In
the front row, left to right, are Gunnar Engen, Kathleen Strolim, Sue Sauter, Beryl Case, Priscilla
Rockwell, Sharon Watson, and Woodrow Ohlsen, adviser. In the back row are Richard Rogers,
Charles Haugen, Raymond Yagami, and Marvin Jackson.
Eleven members of the Model United Nations group are
now preparing to leave for their long-awaited trip to Oregon.
They will leave Pasadena on April 2 to attend the sixth annual
conference being held at Oregon State College in Corvallis on
April 4 through 7. Beryl Case,
chairman, and Woodrqw Ohlsen,
adviser, have beep completing last
minute plans for the transporta¬
tion and housing of the group.
Money for the trip has come
from several sources. Delegates
have been asked to pay $30 each
to help .defray part of the cost.
The ASB Board has voted the
group a sum of money as well as
.have several large groups in the
San Gabriel Valley area.
For two months the students
have been working to prepare
themselves-, for .this trip. Partici¬
pation in this conference offers
a great challenge for these stu¬
dents and the amount of prepa¬
ration is prodigious. They have
had to become acquainted with
the structure and inside work¬
ings of the real United Nations
as the Corvallis model is based
very closely on the original. They
have also been required to do
background work on many cur¬
rent political and national issues
in order to be prepared to present
speeches and resolutions at the
coming conference.
Meetings have been held almost
every Sunday afternoon for the
past eight weeks and activities of
different kinds have been under¬
taken to increase the delegates’
knowledge of Norway, the coun¬
try PCC will represent at Oregon
State.
Policy chairman of the group,
Gunnar Engen, is a native of Nor¬
way and has been able to give the
delegation vital information per¬
taining to many aspects of Nor¬
wegian life. Now president of the

Republicans Lead
by Late Class Poll
The latest word in student opin¬
ion was gleaned last week from a
poll taken by the Social Science
Council to determine from the
U.S. history classes which way
PCC students are leaning this
year on political issues.
The big question of ’56 is the
presidential and vice-president¬
ial elections. This poll attempt¬
ed not only to separate the vote
into Republican and Democrat¬
ic opinion, but also determined
student choice for the two ma¬
jor types of candidates from a
prepared list of prominent
members of both parties.
The history classes of Fred
Young, Dr. Leo Facto, Miss Jean¬
ette Strawn, Miss Mildred Well¬
born, and Leon Yakely were those
selected to participate in the vot¬
ing. Of 521 voting, 301 students
expressed themselves as being Re¬
publicans and 174 as being Demo¬
crats, while 46 abstained from
voting on this particular ques¬
tion.
Of the 301 Republicans above
mentioned, 18 said they would
not vote for Eisenhower. Of the
Democrats, 27 indicated that
they would vote for the general
in the next election.

Tired of Hollywood movies whose outdoor scenes always
look like the painted backdrops of Studio C? Come to the
last interdepartmental movie of the year, “Quest for the Lost
City.” It will be shown in Sexson Auditorium April 9 just
following vacation.
This film is an authentic pic¬
torial record of Dana and Ginger
Lamb’s journey from the coast of
Mexico and Central America into
the jungles of Guatemala and
Central America in the search for
an ancient Mayan city. Limited
to the supplies they could carry
on their backs, they made most
of the journey on foot and suffer¬
ed unbelievable hardships.
Because it is made from their
own photographs, the very quali¬
ty of the photography adds to the
realism of the story. The audi¬
ence shares their hardships,
thrills, and narrow escapes com¬
bined with scenes showing natives
and wild animals in their natural
homes. These are only only a few
of the things which make this
picture worthwhile.
Admission to the film is the
usual 40 cents. The money will
be used entirely for scholarships,
awards and student welfare proj¬
ects. Show times are 3:15 and
7:30 p.m.

ence. Hanna Tarazi, one member
of the panel, was in the fighting

KENTUCKY BLENDED CIGARETTE? . . . Here are a couple
of the real life characters that you will see in the coming inter¬
departmental movie titled “Quest for the Lost City.” This pic¬
ture was taken by the explorers while searching for a lost Mayan
city. With actors like the two above (who didn’t sign the casting
list) popping up en route the realism really comes through.
