The exhibition is sponsored by the Art Council. The ASB Board will vote on an athletic blazer bill tomorrow which would provide PCC athletes with special Lancer jackets. The plans calls for the purchase of 115 blazers which would be available to participants in all sports. The cost of the jackets would be divided equally among the ASB and the individual ath¬ letes, with the total cost reach¬ ing $3110. Each jacket would have a specially-designed PCC emblem on the breast pocket. The bill was presented to the board last Thursday but action was postponed one week to allow officers the opportunity to study the proposal. Steve Scott, athletics commis¬ sioner and author of the bill, said, “The blazers are designed to give special distinction to PCC ath¬ letes and also to add to general school spirit. The athletes would wear their blazers on the day of a game, which would also help publicize the event.” Lancer Band Schedules Annual Tops Concert' The Lancer Band, under the di¬ rection of Daniel S.

Panel Raps, Praises US Policy in Viet Nam, Dominican Republic A panel consisting of Social Sci¬ ence Department faculty mem¬ bers Jack Anderson, Margaret Roth well, John Madden, and Rich¬ ard Vetterli examined American foreign policy in relation to Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic to an overflow crowd last Friday in 200C. The atmosphere during the meeting approached at times the same height of controversy that has been reached at teach-ins held on major university campuses. Opinions of the panelists reflected the sharpened nation division over foreign policy that has been re¬ duced in over-simplified terms to the debate between the “hawks” and the “doves.” Mrs. Rothwell made it clear that she felt the present US policy of containing Soviet “expansionism” was too negative. She advocated abandoning our “defensive tac¬ tics” and claimed the US should use its greatest asset, “our mili¬ tary might,” to halt communist “aggression.” “We don’t belong there; we ought to get out” were the open¬ ing remarks of Anderson. “We picked up a load from the French we could never hope to carry,” stated Anderson. He commented that bombing North Viet Nam has tended to “draw the communist world closer together and to alien¬ ate our friends.” “We are not winning and you know it,” he told the audience. Anderson also discussed “the inborn American genius, based on ignorance, to support unpopular regimes. I am surprised we don’t • Continued on Page Six A required graduation music rehearsal is scheduled for noon on Tuesday, June 1, in Sexson Auditorium.
