Future teachers

Faculty Association $100 scholar¬
ships.
Miss Alpert, an elementary ed¬

California at Berkeley in the fall.

Student California Teachers As¬
sociation and served on the Soph¬
omore Class council.
The awards bring to $800 the
amount given by the Faculty As¬
sociation in the seven years since
the program was initiated. The
faculty also has granted more
than $15,000 in scholarship loans
to financially needy students.
ASB Board passes
three resolutions
Three resolutions were recently passed by the Associated Student
Body Board.
The first resolution was presented by the Rep Council and asked
the school district to install a large clock on the side of
К
building
which could be seen by students on the little prairie and the new
parking lot. The second resolution asked for provisions for bike
racks.
The last resolution, which was presented by Sophomore President
Don Ciliax, recommended that the administration take steps to pro¬
mote ASB book sales such as incorporating sales into the registration
procedure.
Reasons offered for the clock resolution were that many students
would be coming from the new parking lot and would need a clock
to perfect “the efficiency and promptness of all.”
Several factors were mentioned in the bike rack resolution.
Some of the more important ones were: noise from powered cycles
disrupted classroom studies; lack of facilities increased the chances
of injury to the machines; and the sight of bicycles strewn about
dragged down the appearance of the campus.
Concerning book sales, Ciliax pointed out that there is only an
academic link on our campus and 100 per cent book sales would unify
the two existing groups of ASB and non-ASB book holders.
He also added that additional funds would be available to aid
"on-campus organizations in need of additional funds” and to promote
“more cultural events.” The final reason offered for this resolution
was that occasionally non-ASB members did participate in activities
for ASB book holders only.
'Anastasia’ set to run
through Saturday night
“Anastasia,” the final major Theater Arts production of
the year, opened last night to a responsive audience in the
Little Theater. The play will show through Saturday. Ad¬
mission is free to ASB book holders and $1 to others. “Anas¬
tasia is the tale of a mental pa- _
“Art — A Creative Force” is the
general theme of the 1962 All-
City Art Exhibit which opened
Sunday at the Pasadena Art Mu¬
seum, 46 N. Los Robles. The
show will run through June.
The values of a vital program
of art education are being pre¬
sented under the following major
classifications: personal, social
and vocational values.
“Creativity is stressed in our
schools and art is recognized as
a creative force that plays a vi¬
tal role in our modern age. This
is an opportunity for our citizens
to see art in action from elemen¬
tary school through college,” said
Superintendent of Schools Robert
E. Jenkins.
Pasadena City College art stu¬
dents have many paintings and
art objects displayed at this show.
Lennox Tierney, chairman of the
art department, will narrate a
program entitled ‘The Arts in a
Space Age” at 3 p.m. on May 27
and will be a member of a panel
discussion, “The Role of Art Ed-
tient, Anna, who falls into the
hands of three scoundrels. Anna
is played by Leila Etizadi.
The evil trio of Bounine, Cher¬
nov and Petovin pass Anna off
as Anastasia, the daughter of the
murdered Russian Czar, Nicholas
II. Bounine and company hope to
lay their hands on the Czar’s
money in this way.
THESE THREE scoundrels are
played by Lee Collins, Carlton
McCaslin and Alberto Isaacs, re¬
spectively.
Anna is convincing enough to
be believed in by Prince Paul and
finally by Dowager Empress. Dan
Tosney has the role of the prince,
and Elizabeth Thomas plays the
part of the empress.
Other members of the cast are
Ron Keister as Sergi; Rosemary
Khoury as Varya; Jack Baugh¬
man is Counsellor Drivinitz; and
Larry Miller as Dr. Serensky.
Isobel Spear plays Baroness
Livenbaum, Donna Hight por¬
trays the charwoman, and Em¬
mett Cash is the sleigh driver.
MEMBERS OF the stagecraft
class, Leslie Meredith, Bob John¬
son, Bruce Barnes, Victory Ahr¬
ends and Don Coates, under the
ueation,” on that same date.
A welcome has been extended
to all to come to this year’s All-
City Art Exhibit.
Speech finalists announced;
two Lancers nab top spot
Lancers Eric Johnson and Dianne Schafer tied for first
place in the Phil Robinson Safety Speech Contest held recent¬
ly at Pasadena City College. Placing third and fourth were
Jim Taylor and Jeanine Whited, respectively. The four final¬
ists were selected after two
rounds of eiixnination which were
judged by different members of
the speech department
Judges for the final round were
speech instructors Donald Liercke
and Leonard Perry and English
instructor George Luber.
All entrants in the contest gave
a six minute speech pertaining to
safety. “A Tear and a Telescope,”
was the title of Johnson’s speech,
and Miss Schafer’s was titled “It
Could Be You.”
The contest is sponsored by the
family of Phil Robinson, a PCC
student who was killed in a foot¬
ball accident. Each year at this
time the friends and family of
Robinson contribute cash prizes
to the contest entrants to en¬
courage and promote safety
among PCC students.

Work begins soon
on new parking lot
With the opening of the new
Lancer parking facilities at the
beginning of this week, plans are
now underway to start construc¬
tion on the lower parking area.
The south section of the park¬
ing area will be ready for Lan¬
cer use sometime around the
first of the year, according to Ad¬
ministrative Dean John Twomey.
All -day parking on Francisca
Street will be kept on the north
side of the street. However, even¬
tually all-day parking on this
street may be moved to the south
side.
“It was planned to construct a
three level parking- lot, but it was
decided to keep it to surface
parking,” Dean Twomey noted.
Lights have been installed on
the new parking area for use dur¬
ing evening classes.
Dean Twomey said eventually
buildings will be constructed on
the north side of the newly open¬
ed parking lot.
“Legal proceedings for the
first section took about a year,”
Twomey said. “The entire cost
of both sections will be around
$1,200,000.”
The capacity of the first park¬
ing lot will be about 780 cars.
Some 275 small car spaces will
be available.
The architects for the parking
lots are Allison and Ribel. Paduila
Paving Co. of Long Beach is
black -topping the area.
