A letter addressed to Pasa¬ dena’s Board of Education called for PCC to curtail its participa¬ tion until favoritism ceases. Fur¬ ther, it stated that the Board of City Directors should order the committee “to cease its discrimin¬ atory selection of the queen and her attendants and require such selection to be made without re¬ gard to the candidates’ race, color, or national origin.” This and the question whether queen selection participation should be mandatory or voluntary hope to be settled before the 1964 judging. ‘Europe Revisited’ Shown by Tierney Art department chairman Len¬ nox Tierney will show “Europe Revisited,” a film strip concern¬ ing his most recent travels, to¬ night at 7:45 in Harbeson Hall.

Tickets for the film, which is sponsored by the Inter-departmental Activities Commission, can be pur¬ chased from members of the var- - ious departments for 50 cents. Tickets also will be sold at the door. The film portrays the turbu¬ lence in the life and art of Vin¬ cent Van Gogh. The script is based on Irving Stone’s novel and is directed by Vincente Minnelli. In reviewing the film, the Film Estimate Board said, “Beginning with his thwarted attempt to en¬ ter into the lives of the poor peas¬ ants in the Borinage, Van Gogh’s inarticulate passion to know and help mankind meets constant re¬ jection. His eccentricities shock and disgust his bewildered Dutch family, his blind demands and frightening violence repel every¬ one else, except for his unfailing brother Theo . . . Kirk Douglas, looking strikingly like the paint¬ er's numerous self-portraits, con¬ veys his eagerness for life, his inflammable temperament, and his agony of soul. Among the ex¬ cellent supporting players, An¬ thony Quinn as Gauguin is out¬ standing.” Singer, Pianist Featured in Duo Music Program The Lancer Music Hour will present Eileen Tilford and Susan Adams tomorrow at 11 a.m. in 102K.

Cinema Limited will present Akira Kurosawa’s "Ikiru” Satur¬ day at 8:15 p.m. in Sexson Audi¬ torium. A winner of six international awards including Best Film Award and Co-Awards for Best Director, Stratford, Canada, the 1960 Japanese film concerns the search for the meaning of life by a man who has but a short time to live. The Christian Science Monitor termed it “a masterpiece of achievement of a masterful film makers, with an extra thrust of passion and conscience that takes it beyond craft.” “Ikiru,” which means "to live,” is a man's search illuminated by some of the most brilliant cine¬ matic images ever seen on the screen and by a powerful, mem¬ orable performance by its lead¬ ing actor. Director Kurosawa, previously recognized for “Rashomon,” “The Magnificent Seven,” "Throne of Blood,” and “The Lower Depths,” endowed his most recent film with compassion and understand¬ ing, with an ironic awareness of human weaknesses, and the knowledge of the dignity of the individual. Likened to Satyajit Ray’s trilo¬ gy, “Ikiru” stands in the front ranks of contemporary cinematic art and is one of the most power¬ ful humanistic documents the screen has yet presented. On the same Saturday bill is “Munro,” an amusing spoof on Army life in animated form by cartoonist Jules Feiffer.
