'Gold Rush Days’
Theme Sets Mood
Old miners and pretty dance hall girls will transform PCC’s
Horrell Field into an old gold rush town Friday night from 6 to
midnight.
The occasion for the glistening lights, excitement, and activity
is the annual OMD carnival. Now in its 35th year, the carnival has
become the highlight of social activities on campus. This year “Gold
Rush Days” will reign as the theme for the carnival.
Setting the mood will be a street in an old western town. The
street will be lined with booths to provide fun for all. Twenty-eight
clubs will take part in the carnival by sponsoring every imaginable
type of booth. There will be stunts, skill games, and food.
A DANCE HALL with live music will bring back the typical old
time saloon. Trophies will be awarded to the clubs which design the
mos: outstanding and original booths.
Highlighting the evening’s activities will be the crowning of the
OMD queen at 10 p.m. on the main stage. The queen will be selected
from a field of ten contestants representing various campus depart¬
ments. Voting for the queen is being conducted in front of Sexson
Auditorium on a penny-a-vote basis from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Vying for the position are Corliss Holsback, Trudi West, Susan
Karoleski, Judi Thiery, Carolyn Leak, Margie McGee, Margie Ryser,
Sande Salter, Peggy Spessard, and Carol McDonald.
b'ollowing the crowning of the queen will be judging of the beard
growing contest. Men, who have worked over a month to grow their
beards, will receive trophies for the longest, and the most unique
beards.
REMINGTON RAND and OMD will sponsor a shave-off for men
v/ho have grown beards. First prize, to be presented by Remington
Rand, will be a Remington Lectronic II shaver. Four Remington 25
shavers will be given to the runners-up of the shave-off.
Selection of the winners will be made by the fastest time, and
by a cheek-to-cheek smoothness test conducted by the reigning OMD
queen. The queen also will be awarded a Remington ladies’ shaver.
Dress for the carnival is casual and in style with the old west.
O-.ID members are now selling hats, pipes, and mustaches to help
bring the 1849 dress back into being.

the carnival must purchase 25 cents worth of script, which may be
used in trade once inside the carnival. The carnival is open to the
community. The only requirement is that everyone come and have fun.

MUN Marred by Pickets; Russian
Ambassador Talk Highlights Meet

be shown by the department of foreign languages Monday at 3:15 and

and two prizes at the Cannes Film Festival. It was produced and di¬
rected by Grigori Chukhrai, and is the drama of a 19-year-old soldier

his mother.

Prokhorenko, to the San Francisco Film Festival and to Hollywood
in 1961.
The picture is a part of the Cultural Exchange Program between
the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Model United Nations at San Jose State
College last weekend was marred by the presence of
pickets and speakers advocating United States with¬
drawal from the UN.
The General Assembly meetings were picketed
and the anti-UN group daily sponsored rallies where
speeches condemning the UN were given.
As the anti-UN pickets were marching outside,
the General Assembly heard a letter from President
Kennedy which praised the educational value of the
MUN and commented on the worth of the UN as
an instrument of peace.
The highlight speaker at the conference was
Russia’s Ambassador to the United Nations Nikolai
T. Fedorenko. Even though the original reaction of
the delegates was cool, Fedorenko soon won the
respect of the students with his jovial while at the
same time decisive manner. Fedorenko spoke at the
MUN’s banquet Saturday night on the general sub¬
ject of world peace and disarmament.
During Mr. Fedorenko’s speech a guest in the
audience shouted, “What about Hungary?” and as
he was escorted from the hall by the San Jose Police
Department, the reserved ambassador replied, “That
is in the past, let us look to the future.”
When questioned about Cuba, Fedorenko satiri¬
cally chastised the delegates by saying, “You should
know more about that than I; Cuba is your neigh¬
bor, is it not?”
Members of the PCC delegation, representing
Sweden, found members of all three blocs in the
UN calling upon them for support. The Western,
Communist and Afro-Asian blocs, each with its own
peculiar wants and desires, attempted to woo the
Swedish vote to their side. The delegation, however,
found themselves not supporting any particular
bloc but rather supporting a different bloc on each
question.
The most controversial resolution that came up
in the MUN General Assembly was concerned with
sanctions (economic and political) against Portugal
for her actions- in Angola. With the Communist and
Afro-Asian blocs strongly supporting the sanctions.
I he measure was defeated only after three long
hours of argument and extended complications
with procedure.
