OMD Queen To Be Crowned
at Carnival Saturday, May 8
The collection is on!
The five candidates for OMD
Queen have begun to collect pen¬
nies in their effort to raise funds
for scholarships. The girl who
collects the most will be crowned
Queen of the OMD Carnival this
Saturday on Horrell Field.
The candidates in alphabetical
order are Christine Condon, a
freshman social science major in¬
terested in tennis, folk rock mu¬
sic, dancing, swimming, and cook¬
ing. She has a special interest in
“people who are creative and sen¬
sitive without taking themselves
too seriously.”
Linda Conner, a sophomore sec¬
retarial major, enojys cooking,
sewing, reading science fiction
books, horseback riding and being
a spectator at sports events.
Elissa Eastwood, a third-year
photolithography major, lists art,
Council Stuck
with Money!
If someone handed you $500 and
said provide some class function
for the student body, what would
you do with it?
That’s the problem (if you can
call it that) facing the combined
Frosh-Soph Council.
At their last meeting, attended
by only three council members,
suggestions were made that the
council sponsor a food-provided
beach party, a bicycle rally termi¬
nating at Lacy Park with lunches
provided, or an on-campus flea
market.
However, as Sophomore Class
President Tom Puckett explained,
council-sponsored events have
been so poorly attended that the
council is hesitant to propose ac¬
tivities for fear of no student at¬
tendance.
A case in point is the rapidly
diminishing attendance at the
Free Speech Area concerts which
are sponsored by council funds.
It’s your money that will be
spent or given to next year’s class.
If you have any ideas on how
the money should be used, let the
council know by leaving a sugges¬
tion in Puckett’s mailbox upstairs
in the Campus Center.
Or better yet, attend the next
meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday in
the Campus Center and fill out
an application for council mem¬
bership.
dune-buggying, and water skiing
among her hobbies. She is spon¬
sored by the Engineering and
Technology Department.
Elaine Landis, a freshman po¬
litical science major, loves art,
swimming, and people. Elaine is
sponsored by “her friends.”
The last candidate is Patrice
Nelson, a freshman who is unde¬
cided about her major. Patrice

swim, and play tennis. She is
The Pasadena Art Museum has
fallen prey to the wave of nos¬
talgia that is sweeping the coun¬
try. Starting yesterday and run¬
ning to June 18, on non-consecu-
tive days, the Art Museum will
feature an exploration of the film
years of the Twenties.
The decade between 1920 and
1930 saw a fantastic expansion
of the cinematic art. Along with
the vast improvement in photo¬
graphic technique seen in the
films of this time, exploration
into a variety of plots was widely
accepted. Early avant garde ven¬
tures into surrealism in those 10
years sired the hereditary line
of the modern “art film.”
The museum’s show, titled
“Film Classics of the Twenties,”
will present an outstanding dis¬
play of celluloid art for those who
appreciate their art mixed with
a dram of the past.
A typical selection of the fine
films to be shown is the lineup of
May 4. “The Pathe Newsreel”
(1917-1931) will launch the eve¬
ning’s affair with a collage of
those news stories that thrilled
audiences across this nation a
generation ago.
“Astray from Sterrage,” pro¬
duced by the immortal Mack Sen-
nett and “Manhattan,” a 1921 im¬
pressionist study of New York
City, will follow. Concluding the
night’s agenda will be “The Cabi¬
net of Dr. Caligari,” a horry-gory
that became a cliche for an entire
genre of films.
The Art Museum has arranged
the showings so that the viewer
can return on different evenings
and compare the various classics
with others of their kind. One
film of May 11, for example, is
“Kino Pravda,” an early Soviet
Newsreel, whose partial aim was
sponsored by the Spartans and
Junior Executives.
If you see any of these coeds
around this week, put your hand
in your pocket and give them
some of your spare change. Re¬
member that the funds raised
will be used for scholarships.
Don’t forget about the carnival
this Saturday. It will last from
3 to 11 p.m. with fun and games
for everyone, so be there! It will
be held on Horrell Field.
to promote “every step made
toward Socialism.”
This film, edited and directed to
promote a “social cause,” would
make an interesting comparison
to the Pathe Newsreels’ goal of
simply “getting the news.”
The titles of the film series
read like a catalog of greatness
in the life of the movies. “Nanook
of the North,” “Rain,” “Retour a
la Raison,” are but a few of the
classics to be shown.
Charlie Chaplin’s “The Gold
Rush” and Salvador Dali’s “Un
Chien Andalou,” along with Fritz
Lang’s “Metropolis” will breathe
life again at the Pasadena Mu¬
seum. Any or all of these fine
presentations will be grand ad¬
venture for the classic movie buff.
Principal concern at last week’s
Senate meeting was a lack of stu¬
dent involvement in government.
Senate President Steve Hamil¬
ton said, “The students are up¬
tight about their involvement in
student government and the gov¬
ernment’s response to their needs.
Students should attend and make
their needs known; all types of
problems and situations that bug
students, so they can be dealt
with.
“If they have criticisms of the
student government, let the gov¬
ernment know.”
Anthropology major Marianne
Cordova struck the same note:
“The Senate is your only means
of communication. If it goes, you
have no means of communication
with the school board.”
Plans were finalized for a “Sen¬
ate Walk” to be held the following
day, during which volunteers
would visit the 9 a.m. classes and
urge students to send their repre¬
sentatives to the Senate meetings.
Other business included reacti¬
vation of the book exchange, held
during the last change of semes¬
ters. Senator Bart Young ex¬
plained that this would involve a
card file, containing names of
books for sale and the name and
telephone number of the prospec¬
tive seller.
Sales prices would represent a
balance between the original and
resale prices charged by the cam¬
pus book store. Young also pro¬
posed that forms for the card
file be made up, filled out in ad¬
vance, and placing the exchange
by the front doors of the Campus
Center, instead of the upstairs
patio, as was previously done.
Senator Tamara Bickov, repre¬
sentative from DAP 201, advocat¬
ed establishment of a domestic
and foreign students’ mutual lan¬
guage teaching program. This
program would entail conversa¬
tion sessions in which American
students would help foreign stu¬
dents improve their English by
speaking it, and the foreign stu¬
dents would help the Americans
learn their languages in the same
way.
Sign Up for
Walk Day'
Take a few steps toward Young
World Development by signing up
for the International Walk Day
this week.
The PCC representative for the
“Walk for Development,” Bruce
Malter, will be signing people up
so they can give to the worldwide
efforts to help others help them¬
selves.
Each student who participates
must acquire as many sponsors
as he possibly can to pledge mon¬
ey per mile. Then the funds the
walker receives from his sponsors
will go to three different cate¬
gories of needy projects.
The foreign project will receive
42% per cent of the profits which
will help the National 4-H Club
build training centers in Jamaica,
which the Jamaicans will match
with their own funds.
It will also help support United
Nations volunteers for Interna¬
tional Development. The domestic
project will support the self-help
philosophy by giving 42% per
cent of the funds to the Heifer
Project, which furnishes not only
livestock but the training for how
to care for them.
Part of that 42% per cent will
also go to funding the Indian Le-
g a 1 Information Development
Service, which seeks to protect
and expand the legal rights of the
reservation Indians.
The remaining 15 per cent of
the walk funds will be used for
educational projects for the
American Freedom from Hunger
Foundation which sponsors the
worldwide walk. This will be a
chance for PCC to unite in an
initiative to bolster the self-help
philosophy.
Your help is needed. For fur¬
ther information, call 795-9133.
Federal Program to
Help Eager Learners
After many years of careful study, a new program sponsored by
the federal government has finally started in California. It is called
Manpower, Training, and Development.
This program aims to educate the disadvantaged, undereducated,
unemployed, and high school dropouts.
Locally it is sponsored by the Office of Education at PCC and the
Department of Employment or Human Resources office in Pasadena.
The only requirements are that the recipient be between ages
18 and 65, and be eager to learn.
A few of the classes available are nurses aid, auto mechanics,
packaging mechanics, secretarial, and many others.
The main advantage of this program is that one is paid while
learning instead of just collecting a weekly unemployment check.
Another positive aspect of this program is that the classes are
taught in levels. If one feels he has learned enough in a particular
level to qualify and compete for a job, he may withdraw from class
and start working.
Job placement and counseling is also available at the Department
of Human Resources office.
If you know of anyone who might be interested in this program,
have him contact the Manpower, Training, and Development office
on campus.
