The queen will be crowned at halftime of the football game, Saturday night. A three-part, $3000 unstructur¬ ed communication series to be held here known as Project ’67- ’68 will focus on dialogue and discussion of educational values and the values of the ideas of others. Modern communication tech¬ niques and facilities will be avail¬ able. A premise of the sessions is that if there is a greater aware¬ ness and understanding of self, and a greater understanding of man’s philosophies, there will be improvement in communication. Logically, there should be im¬ provement in educational practice and achievement. Each session will m;et for 20 hours, at times chosen by par¬ ticipants. The first session begins next Tuesday and continues until January 26. The second part begins with the start of the spring semester, continuing until midterm, and the third follows midterm, continuing Homecoming in Progress Homecoming 1967 salutes the class of 1925, during the week Of November 13 to 18, concluding with the Homecoming Game vs. Compton.

Project ‘67 and ‘68 is an exper¬ iment in involvement aimed at coping with change on the PCC campus. In a society preoccupied with problems great and small, it is imperative that we communi¬ cate effectively. The need to do so stems from the conviction that good communication, constructive involvement and responsible freedom are indispensable to good education. The involvement of all elements of our campus community in this effort — students, faculty, coun¬ selors, department chairmen and administrative and classified staffs — communicating objective¬ ly and convincingly, in an environ¬ ment of mutual respect and un¬ derstanding may well make Pro¬ ject ‘67 and ‘68 the year’s out¬ standing educational achievement on this campus. We invite you to involve yourself with it. — Delmas A. Bugelli Administrative Dean for Instruction with the Western Center for Community Education and De¬ velopment, UCLA. Each group of participants will be chosen this way: six students (applications in the Campus Center and 111C) ; one depart¬ ment chairman, administrator, and counselor; two classified staff; and five faculty. Students wishing to partici¬ pate should select a campus ele¬ ment or group they feel qualified to represent and so indicate on their applications. This will help assure that groups will be as varied as possible. Mitterand Is Next Forum Speaker Francois Mitterand is the Tues¬ day Evening Forum speaker for November 21. Mitterand will speak on “Forces for War and Peace: Europe.” Mitterand is the leader of the anti-Gaullist forces in France and a presidential hopeful. He almost upset Charles De Gaulle in the last national election. He has held the elected offices of deputy and senator in the French Parliament, and has serv¬ ed in the cabinet as Minister of Justice and of the Interior. Mit¬ terand will be the last speaker before Christmas vacation. James Stewart resumes the sries after Christmas when he speaks on “Survival Under the Ice,” January 9. Dr. William Cole will follow Stewart and will speak on “Love and Sex: Chris¬ tianity vs. Psychoanalysis.” Koertge to Discuss Underground Poetry “Publishing Underground: The Guts of Modern Poetry” will be the topic Ronald Koertge will speak on at the third monthly English Colloquium, Friday in Harbeson Hall at 12 noon. “The real underground publisher,” according to Koertge, “is some guy with a mimeo machine who is pushing his own poetry or the poetry of his friends. With luck or skill he might expand his en¬ deavor and begin receiving manuscripts from other poets and writers. “As soon, though, as the underground publisher turns away from the mimeo to the letterpress, he is pretty much out of the under¬ ground. “Underground poetry is the guts of publishing, because without it there wouldn’t be any new poems ever. T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound were ‘underground poets’ when they started, and nearly everybody who is anybody today started in the little magazines in one form or another. “Too, it’s the little magazines that keep poetry alive. Out of the million people writing now, maybe 10 or 20 will ever be any good, but these people here and in Europe will probably be the ones that write whatever English teachers will teach 50 and 100 years from now.” Koertge will also have information for those who have ever con¬ sidered sending poetry to magazines. This will be the second appearance of Koertge as a colloquium speaker. “Whatever else the presentation might be — interesting, provocative — it will certainly not be dull,” said Ben Rude, Colloquium chairman.
