Foreign Language Dept.
Slates Brazil as Topic
for Upcoming Program
“Brazil — Bahia to Bossa Nova”
is the topic of a program that
will feature Phyllis Nelson of the
Foreign Language Department on
April 1.
The program will be held at 8
p.m. in Harbeson Hall.
Color slides and Brazilian music
will highlight the evening which
is being presented in connection
with National Foreign Language
Week. The Brazilian theme was
chosen because Portuguese will
be introduced into the 1965-66 cur¬
riculum.
Mrs. Nelson, who will teach the
course, has spent her last two
summers in Brazil and plans to
travel there again this summer.
“Since Brazil is becoming in¬
creasingly important to the United
States and the Western communi¬
ty, there is a need for people who
can speak Portuguese,” said Mrs.
Nelson.
The National Foreign Language
Week program at PCC is being
sponsored by the campus chapter
of Alpha Mu Gamma, a national
honorary foreign language soci¬
ety.
Carol Neufeld. president of the
PCC chapter, said the program is
free of charge and open to the
public.

STUDENT PROTEST — Lancers participate in a peaceful demonstra¬
tion held last Thursday at PCC. Joining the Rev. Herman Gehr,
students and citizens rallied at noon in the patio adjoining the
Campus Center before marching from the campus to the Pasadena
Post Office.
A peaceful civil rights rally and
march were held here last Thurs¬

long rally at the Campus Center
patio. Later 166 of the audience
made an orderly march on the
Pasadena Post Office.
At the rally Rev. Herman Gehr
of Pasadena addressed the crowd
on his recent visit to Selma, Ala.
He described Selma as a commun¬
ity infested with hate and fear.
Urging the students to partici¬
pate in the civil rights problem,
Rev. Gehr said, “We are in the
midst of a war — a war that has
been going on for centuries. There
is only one side to this war, the
side of truth and justice.”
Myron Caldwell, head of the lo¬
cal branch of the NAACP, spoke
after Rev. Gehr and commended
the rally as a positive form of ex¬
pression. He encouraged the audi-

ence to continue its efforts. “We
must not stop until, in the words
of Martin Luther King, we shall
overcome.”
After the rally, 166 of the par¬
ticipants lined up by the mirror
pools for a march on the Post Of¬
fice. Two abreast, carrying plac¬
ards, the marchers made an or¬
derly 1.6 mile walk down Colo¬
rado Boulevard to a square be¬
hind the Post Office where Rev.
Gehr thanked the group for its
effort.
There were no incidents. Moni¬
tors directed the marchers to in¬
sure no disruption of traffic and
there were a minimum of heck¬
lers. Also the police gave full
sanction to the demonstration.
One of the marchers later com¬
mented, “I think it was an excel¬
lent demonstration adequately
covered by the press and wit¬
nessed by the people of downtown
Pasadena.”
