Dr. Wolf Tells Story
of So. Miscegenation
Dr. Jerome Wolf spoke on “Miscegenation and the Old South”
at the sixth English Department Colloquium yesterday. A taped replay
will be shown in 19C tomorrow from 12 to 1 p.m.
White Southerners, considering the Negroes as subhuman, have
made them the objects of sexual fantasy, Dr. Wolf said. He also
examined “the myth of the glory of white womanhood,” and showed
how this myth became an integral part of white Southern culture.
Examining the historical, psychological, and sociological backdrop
of miscegenation in the South, Dr. Wolf provided background informa¬
tion for understanding themes which recur in Faulkner, Lillian Smith,
Ralk Ellison, Richard Wright and other Southern novelists.
A problem in discussing the subject is the lack of historical in¬
formation. Dr. Wolf is doing original research to help fill the gap.
He is a member of the social science faculty here.
'Pipes of Pan' Displays
Wide Range of Talent
The spring issue of the “Pipes of Pan,” PCC’s semi-annual literary
anthology, will be published Monday, May 9, according to Mrs.
Beatrice Rodenburg, faculty adviser.
Mrs. Rodenburg stressed the fact that this is an English Council
rather than a student project. Volunteers from the creative writing
class act as judges, selecting the material to be used. Choices are
made according to the quality of the individual subject matter, and
include both poetry and short stories.
“We represent as many students as possible, and hope for many
more contributions in the fall issue. We do not like to confine selec¬
tions just to the creative writing class,” stated Mrs. Rodenburg.
Pipes will be sold by English Council members. Priced at 50
cents, they may also be obtained in the bookstore, in the English
office, 109C, and in front of Sexson Auditorium.
Proceeds from Pipes sales go to English Department scholar¬
ships and awards.
Language Council
Sets German Hour
A German cultural hour, last of
a series of cultural presentations
sponsored by the Foreign Lang¬
uage Council, is slated for Tues¬
day, May 10, at 12 noon in Har¬
beson Hall.
David Hosteter, instructor of
German, and Robert Heckman,
instructor of music, have organ¬
ized the event featuring several
soloists singing the Deutsche
Lieder (“art songs”). According
to Hosteter, Deutsche Lieder are
more serious and demanding than
ballads and other types of songs.
The Deutsche Lieder are such
German lyric poetry of the past
two centuries set to music, as
the works of Schubert, Schu¬
mann, Brahms, and Wolf.
Open to all students, the cul¬
tural hour should appeal not only
to those of German heritage or
schooling but also, according to
Hosteter, “to anybody interested
in music.”
will add Arcadia and San Marino
to the existing district which al¬
ready includes Pasadena, South
Pasadena, Temple City,
and La Canada. Over the
years, PCC has enrolled a large
percentage of the junior college
level students from the newly ac¬
quired areas of Arcadia and San
Marino.
In addition to the new district
boundaries, a 6 cent increase in
the maximum tax rate was pas¬
sed. A tax of 58 cents per one
Computer
Lectures
Continue
Third in the Computer Sciences
Department film-lecture series on
“The Computer and the Mind of
Man” is slated for tomorrow eve¬
ning at 7:30 in the Little Theater,
30C.
John Allard, organizing coordi¬
nator for the UAW, will speak,
and the film, “Universal Ma¬
chine,” will be shown.
Purpose of the series, according
to Dr. Frank Yett, department
chairman, is to show that “The
computer is the one invention
that, rather than being a labor-
saving device, is a device to ex¬
tend man’s mind. Most of the
other spectacular developments
that have happened or will hap¬
pen in the last half of the 20th
century will be made possible di¬
rectly or indirectly by the com¬
puter.”
Remaining in the series are:
Dr. Marvin Adelson, scientist,
System Development Corp., and
the movie, “The Control Revolu¬
tion,” May 12; Edward OUver,
senior design engineer. Jet Pro¬
pulsion Laboratory, and “Man¬
agers and Models,” May 19; and
Grant Holcomb, director of news,
KNXT-TV, and “Engine at the
Door,” May 26.
Past programs have presented
Thomas Murphy, personnel super¬
visor, Pacific Telephone Co., and
Dr. Gilbert McCann, professor,
California Institute of Technolo-
gy.
All programs start at 7:30 p.m.
Admission is free.
hundred dollars replaced the cur¬
rent rate of 52 cents.
The election was brought about
by recent California legislation
which rules that all districts that
are not at present part of a junior
college district by September 15,
1967, must join one or establish
one of their own.
Next step in formation of the
new district is expected to come
in September when voters will
elect seven trustees to the new
board. There will be one trustee
from each area elected to govern
the new district. The board must
be formed by the beginning of the
next fiscal year, July 1967.
About 45 per cent of the stu¬
dents now attending PCC come
from areas outside present boun¬
daries of the district.
This election formalizes the
present geographical, social and
economic ties that link these
neighboring cities together.
