tions being asked on the topic of capital punishment during

Staff puts final touches
to new college yearbook
This year’s Pageant is heading into the home stretch. The
Pageant staff, under the direction of editor Lorefia Treydte, is
putting the finishing touches on the yearbook, which will be

Brown.
“This issue is one of high im¬
portance,” says Will Fuller, orig¬
inator of the poll. “One of its
purposes is to show that PCC
students are actively interested in
community affairs.”
and highly unusual colors are be¬
ing used throughout. A new sec¬
tion featuring academics has been
added consisting of pictures taken
inside the classrooms.
Assisting Miss Treydte in pro¬
ducing the Pagenat have been
assistant editor Terry Huddleston
and business manager Michael
Carrington.
THE EDITORS of the various
departments are Pat Phelan,
copy; Dave Garcia, art; Ben Van
Horn, academics and leadership;
Howard Siegel, athletics; Pat
Augenstein, classes; Ralph John¬
son, index; and Judy LaGue, wom¬

The staff is especially proud of
the yearbook this year because of
the increased effort which they
put into it. This increase was
caused by the switching of the
publication to a new engraver
who left more of the work to the
staff.
The editor of the Pageant holds
office for an entire year. The rest
of the staff changes with each se¬
mester.
RESULTS OF the polling will
be statistically compiled by mem¬
bers of the Social Science Council
in order to give a cross-section
example of PCC opinion, accord¬
ing to sex and beliefs of pro or
con.
The opinions voiced on the ex¬
planation sheets will also be cate¬
gorized into the prevailing ideas
of the supporters of either side.
All results will be made available
to the student body as soon as
possible.
FINDINGS OF THIS poll will
also be sent to local congress¬
men and a final analysis will be

books to library
New books on all subjects are
being added to Pasadena City
College’s growing library.
Covering such a variety of top¬

Story” by Eugene Lyons, “A The¬
odore Roosevelt Round-up” and
“The Dress Doctor,” the story of
Edith Head, offer much to the

gory, several other books worth
mentioning are Alfred Kelly’s
“Foundations of Freedom in the
American Constitution” and
“Fundamental Liberties of a Free
People” by Milton Konvitz.
