Series of science seminars
opens today with talk, film
As a response to the growing interest in the
United States today on broadening and strength¬
ening our scientific programs, PCC’s Life and Phys¬
ical Science Departments have scheduled a series
of six extracurricular seminars.
The first, a lecture and discussion period by
Norman Wakeman, will be held this afternoon at
4 in room 104D. Mr. Wakeman, an experienced
biologist and lecturer from PCC’s own Life Science
Department, will speak on “The World Between
the Tides.”
LYNN AUSTEN, faculty representative from
the Physical Science Department, extended an in¬
vitation to any interested member of the faculty
or student body. Admission will be free for the
hour-long seminar.
Supplementing Mr. Wakeman’s lecture for the
first of the scientific programs will be portions of a
film he recently completed on oceanography. Also
entitled “The World Between the Tides,” Mr. Wake¬
man has shown his film in various places through¬
out the United States.
OF PARTICULAR interest where college stu¬
dents have viewed the film is the Scripps Institute
of Oceanography, Hopkins Marine Laboratory, and
the University of Washington, in the oceanography
department. The color production also premiered
on television during a recent scientific program.
Wakeman has compiled his science information
and research results into a soon-to-be-published
book on oceanography which will be available to
the public before long.
“The purpose of these scheduled seminars,
which we believe are of very high caliber,” ex¬
plained Mr. Austen, “is to widen and supplement
the scientific education which PCC students are now
receiving.”
“THESE LECTURES,” he added, “will be on
a fairly high scientific level, and we hope to attract
those persons who are seriously interested in the
physical and life sciences, and who will benefit
from these related meetings.”
Dr. Rodney Gale will be the featured speaker
for the next program in December on the topic of
“The Origin of the Vertebrae.” He will be followed
by Dr. Bruce Conklin discussing “Sensation and
Perception” in February.
Later in the school year, guests will be Robert
Bowles speaking on “Principles and Applications of
Ion Exchange Experiments,” and Robert Johnson
lecturing on “Acid and Base Theory.”
Scholastic tea
will recognize
new members
Alpha Gamma Sigma, Califor¬
nia state scholarship society, will
hold a reception in Harbeson Hall
next Tuesday afternoon. Silver
pins will be awarded to students
who have been accepted as mem¬
bers of the society.
Among the 67 invited guests
will be high school students en¬
tering Pasadena City College this
fall, whose previous scholastic
achievements make them eligible
for membership.
ALPHA GAMMA Sigma is pri¬
marily an organization to pro¬
mote scholarship among PCC
students. Membership requires
completion in the previous semes¬
ter of at least 44 grade points in
12 units of work, exclusive of
physical education.

record.
Florence Brubaker, dean of stu¬
dent personnel, will give informa¬

ships available to Pasadena City
College students at present.
ANOTHER purpose of the re¬
ception is to give members of the
organization an opportunity to

other and with members of the
staff and the advisory committee.
Officers of the chapter are John
Spence, president; Ronald Carv¬
er, vice-president; Jeanne Kapin,
