Homecoming Queen will receive that distinction during half¬
time activities in the Rose Bowl, Friday, Nov. 16, when the ~ -
decision of the student body’s penny vote is announced. VOL 5' NO’ 10
A delicate silver crown was
purchased recently by the student
body for the use of PCC’s queens
and will be worn for the first time
by the lucky coed. The crown is
set with semi-precious stones and
was especially designed for Pasa¬
dena City College.
“Celebration” is the theme of
the half-time activities which
will be divided into three parts,
band presentation, alumni per¬
formance and tile crowning of
the queen. Robert Fleury, co¬
ordinator of the program, will
center the activities around a
salute to the alumni and the
queen.
The band, song leaders, major¬
ettes, flag twirlers and the drum
major will open the half-time fes¬
tivities by parading onto the field
in company front formation, and
will step out in an expanding
echelon to salute the queen. For¬
mation of a huge crown will pre¬
cede the introduction of the royal
candidates. The identity of her
royal highness will not be reveal¬
ed until this time.
A special event will be pre¬
sented by the alumni under the
direction of Jerry Costa and
Skip White. A set of pepsters
entirely composed of graduated
PCC and Muir cheerleaders
will “get into the act” and lead
the Lancers in school songs and
yells. A band, composed of
alumni from both schools, will
be on hand for the evening’s
excitement.
Saturday, Nov: 17, Lancers
young and old, will converge on
the Sierra Madre Women’s Club
for the “Islander,” AMS-sponsored
Homecoming Dance. Located at
270 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. in
Sierra Madre, the hall will be
decorated in Hawaiian style.
Entertainment will be provided
by the alumni and dance music by
the Blue Notes of Arcadia. Price
of admission is $1-50 a couple
with ASB books and $2.25 with¬
out.

sented at the Associated Collegi¬

three day meet and was a mem¬
ber of a panel which discussed the
problems of editors of non-dailies.
Carey McWilliams, editor of
"The Nation” gave the convoca¬
tion speech last Thursday night
before the entire group and stated
that the opinion magazine, though
limited in circulation, nevertheless
occupied an important place in
the American literary scene. This
statement, if broadened to include
all college publication, was the
unstated theme of the conference.
Eight hundred and seventeen
delegates gathered at the Cleve¬
land Statler Hotel from 37 states,
Canada and Hawaii to attend the

Transmitter
Purchased
for KPRS
A 250 watt FM transmitter, ca¬
pable of broadcasting to the Pasa¬
dena and Metropolitan Los An¬
geles area, is in the process of
being obtained for the Pasadena
City College radio station KPRS,
according to Kenneth Johnson,
engineering and technology in¬
structor associated with the sta¬
tion.
To be housed in 6XC, with its
antennae to be mounted on the
roof of the C Building, the station
will be run by the students for
educational purposes only.
Educational FM Station
A license for an educational
FM station has been submitted to
the Federal Communication Com¬
mission by the college. Upon the
issuance of the license and the
installation of the transmitter, the
station will go into operation.
Recently Don Wilson of the
KWKW staff joined the ranks of
PCC teachers and will work in
conjunction with Mr. Johnson in
the installation and operation of
the transmitter.
During the last couple of years,
KPRS, under the guidance of Mrs.
Virginia Kersting and Johnson
has broadcast only to the PCC
student body through the outlets
set up on the Prairie, Memorial
Court and the Bookstore.
Greater Opportunities
With the operation of the new
transmitter, radio students will
have greater opportunities to
gain first hand experience after
acquiring their licenses. At pres¬
ent all radio personnel are re¬
quired to obtain at least a third
class radio-telephone operator’s li¬
cense.
Procurement of the transmitter
will bring a greater amount of
prestige to the station than it has
heretofore experienced. Program¬
ming will go on as usual even
though the broadcasting area be¬
comes greater. KPRS will differ
from commercial stations in that
the only form of advertisement
it will carry will concern the pub¬
licizing of school or community
events.
Nature Lovers to See
Twin Features on Monday
A real treat is in store for the lovers of the outdoors and
the more adventurous minded students of PCC next Monday,
Nov. 19, when two great spectacles of the great outdoors will
be shown at 3:15 and 7:30 p.m. in Sexson Auditorium. The
“Whitetail Buck” and the*'Naked _
Sea” are the interdepartmental
movies scheduled to be shown
next Monday. The price of ad¬
mission is 40 cents, the proceeds
to be shared by all departments.
Tickets are now being sold by
members of the different councils
from each department.
The “Whitetail Buck” portrays
the whitetail deer in their natur¬
al habitat. The audience will walk
along through the autumn woods
with a father and his son, observ¬
ing how the boy learns to stalk
through the brush with cat-like
motions never giving the animals
thg slightest awareness of his
presence.
In the “Naked Sea,” narrated
by William Conrad, the viewers
will be taken on a voyage to the
Galapagos Islands aboard the
clipper ship Star Kist.
The story of the sea, the thrill
of the catch, the loveliness of the
tropical islands present a con¬
trasting picture of the life led
by a professional fisherman.
