Debate on Prairie

federal government should guarantee an opportunity for high¬
er education to all high school students,” tomorrow at noon on
the Prairie.
Bud Zeuschner and Art Hewitt will represent PCC, taking
the negative side. Caltech will take the affirmative position.
Caltech debaters will argue that the existing methods of
financing higher education in the
United States are not adequate to
meet needs. Participation by the
federal government, the argu¬
ment will continue, is necessary
to guarantee that qualified high
school students are given an op¬
portunity for higher education.
Inadequate income prevents
states from handling the problem.
Private donations have been in¬
sufficient. Caltech will propose
a specific plan for federal govern¬
ment action.
Lancer debaters will contend
that a modified status quo is suf¬
ficient to meet the nation’s needs.
The debaters will provide statis¬
tics, testimonies, and facts to
show that the number of schools
growing with the need for schools.
Zeuschner, one of PCC’s ora¬
tors, is national president of Phi
Rho Pi, junior college forensics

tional debate meet.

He participated in high school de¬
bate for one and a half years, and

years.

Young Demos Sponsor Speech
By Socialist Head Tomorrow
Art Kunkin, Los Angeles chair¬
man of the Socialist Party, will
speak to campus Young Demo¬
crats tomorrow at noon in 115E.
The socialist leader, a former
KPFK announcer, will discuss
"Dissent from the Left,” telling
why the record of the Democratic
Party in California “is quite mis¬
erable” and why “they pass very
few liberal laws.”
Kunkin notes that, in the Demo¬
cratic Party, there is “no direct
relationship between the rank and
file members and the party lead¬
ership.” In comparing the Social¬
ist Party, he said, “We criticize
injustice wherever it occurs . . .
We are apologists for neither the
United States nor the Soviet
Union.”
Tom Good, YD president, said
the reason for scheduling a radi¬
cally left speaker was because
“the YD’s believe that the politi¬
cal scene is lopsided to the right
and that too Uttle is heard from
the left. We believe it is our re¬
sponsibility as citizens in a demo¬
cratic society to investigate all
political viewpoints.”
Dr. Abraham Kaplan, formerly
chairman of the Department of
Philosophy at UCLA, will discuss
"Scientific Versus Human Values”
on the weekly Evening Forum,

1 Bicycle Thief,' Italian Film Classic,
Offered Nov. 25 by Language Dept.
The Foreign Language Depart¬
ment will show Vittorio De Sica’s
"The Bicycle Thief,” Italy’s post¬
war film classic, November 25, in
Sexson Auditorium. Admission is
free.
The film deals with a man who
gets a job pasting movie posters
on the walls of Rome. Someone
steals the bicycle he needs for his
work. With his little son he
searches for the bike, through a
city overrun with them. The bi¬
cycle is his sole means for work
and self-respect for his family.
Out of his desperate search and
the pathetic tale of daily life, di¬
rector De Sica produced what Life
Magazine considered “the most af¬
fecting movie in many years.”
To play the father, the director
found a metal-worker named
Lamberto Maggiorani, whose har¬
assed face expressed the helpless
fury of a man lost in a world too
complex for him. For the raga¬
muffin son, he found seven-year-
old Enzo Stiola and gained from
him an "excellent” performance.
Excerpts from several reviews
of the film follow:
Vogue: "Best film in 30 years."
National Board of Review:
"Best movie of the year.”
New York Times: “ ‘The Bicycle
Thief' is as full and electric and
compelling as any plot-laden dra¬
ma you ever saw. It should fill
you with warmth and compassion
. . . bids fair to fulfill all the fore¬
casts of its absolute triumph over
here.”
Sol R. Baker, MD, will discuss
"Health Quackery” at this semes¬
ter’s health education assembly
next Tuesday at noon in Sexson
Auditorium.
