This year’s Journalism Day has been scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 30, when about 150 high school students will participate in a news-writing contest. The purpose of this event is to stimulate students’ interest in jour¬ nalism and to make it their career goal. Students from 15 high schools in the district have been invited. The day starts at 3:30 p.m., with a general assembly. Tom Brokaw, KNBC newscaster, will speak on telecommunications . Besides being anchorman of Channel 4’s 11 o’clock news, Brokaw is also director of political coverage, an assignment that has taken him to Miami and Chicago for the 1968 con- veentions. He is a frequent contributor to network news program such as the “Today Show” and “NBC Nightly News.” He also appears on the station’s weekly news program, “NBC News Conference.” At about 4:30 p.m., the news writing contest will begin. There will be four categories: news, features, editorials and sports writing. Each school may enter three contestants in each category. News, features and editorial stories will be based on coverage of Brokaw’s presentation, as though they were to be submitted to the students’ own high school newspaper. A film on a recent Lancers football game will be shown to the sports writers for their stories. There is also a fifth contest, “The Best High School Newspaper.” The schools must submit three consecutive issues of their campus newspaper published this Fall. Deadline for sending in the papers has been set on Nov. 23. All contests will be judged by professional journalists. While the writing is going on, a teachers’ seminar is also scheduled. The topic for discussion will be “The Electronic Revolution in Com¬ munication Media.” Chairing the seminar will be PCC telecom¬ munication instructor Dr. Robert L. Wright. Prior to accepting a teaching position at PCC, Dr. Wright had 13 years experience at KNBC (Channel 4) as newscaster, field reporter and producer. At about 6:30 p.m., there will be a dinner with the presentation of trophies and prizes by Dr. Armen Sarafian, the college president. Drama Students Give Three One-Act Plays “An Evening with Kopit, Pinter and Johnson” won’t give you a chance to play cards with three cronies, or make out your will with the help of .a law firm, but it will expose you to the work of three famous playwrights. This production, billed as theater of the absurd, is set for PCC’s Little Theatre on the week ends of Dec. 1 to 3 and 8 to 10, at 8:15 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 5 p.m. on Sunday. Duke Stroud, drama director, is in charge of the production, adapted from the works of authors Arthur Kopit, Harold Pinter and Crane Johnson. The first act, “Chamber Music,” by Faculty's Views on Schedule The new schedule for final exams, announced last week by Dr. Irvin G. Lewis, administrative dean for student personnel, is a compromise worked out after many months of debate. According to Frank Baum, president of the Faculty Senate, many plans have been discussed and advocated by both the faculty and the ad¬ ministration. The controversy centers on two objectives of final scheduling. One is to get finals over with as quickly as possible. If finals drag on, it costs the district money and cuts into time that could be used more profitably for classes. If, on the other hand, finals are conducted too speedily, students and faculty members have too little time to prepare and grades can suffer. The trend in the past has been toward longer exam schedules. In 1954, the exam time was only four days. By 1968 the time had increased to eight days. On Feb. 16, 1970, the Faculty Senate Board went on record saying that no student should have more than two final exams on one day. Students who were scheduled for more than two, it was decided, should contact their instructors so that other arrangements could be made. Last spring the Senate Board recommended a seven-day schedule to replace the eight-day schedule. The board felt that eight days was more time than was justified. The ad¬ ministration proposed an even shorter schedule, five days. The six-day schedule which will be used this semester is a compromise between the two. Even this schedule is not considered permanent. If the reactions of students and faculty members are favorable, the schedule will be retained. If not, then the discussion will continue, Baum said. Kopit, will be directed by student Ann Pomante of Pasadena, who is also a cast member. This one-act play deals with an af¬ ternoon in an institution and the ec¬ centricity of the women in it. The characters are Joan of Arc, Mrs. Mozart, Susan B. Anthony, Gertrude Stein, Pearl White, Queen Isabella of Spain, Amelia Earhart and Osa Johnson. The second act is composed of vignettes by Pinter and Johnson. Stylized make-up and painted-on costumes are used to point out the realities of life. Actors will play the parts of doors, chairs, tables and refrigerator. Student-actor Craig Secord of La Canada will direct the second act vignettes. An added feature is the Moog Syn¬ thesizer, an electonic machine of unusual sounds which will supply the background music. The cast includes, from Pasadena, Sheila Condit, Craig Coulter, Vince DeStefano, Chris De Vore, Chris Eastland, Vahecia McQuinn, Tom Killam, Nora Masterson, Terrence McDonnel, Larry Mitchell, Debra Morris and Ann Pomante. From Sierra Madre are Cheryl Bayer, Mary Anne Feeney and Eric Bergren. Cast member from Altadena are Betty Bell and Mary Lee Rae, and, from, Arcadia, Joan Schamadan. Orchestra To Present Concert A free concert by the College- Community Symphony Orchestra will be presented by the Pasadena .City College Music Department tonight at 8:15 p.m. in Sexson Auditorium. Prof. Frank Van Der Maten, musical director, will lead the orchestra in a program which includes “Festival Overture, Opus 96” by Dimitri Shostakowich ; “Symphony No. 5, in C Minor, Opus 67” by Ludwig van Beethoven; and “Second Roumanian Rhapsody, Opus 11, No. 2” by Georges Enesco. Highlighting the program will be a special arrangement of Morton Gould’s “Boogie-Woogie Etude for Symphony Orchestra” featuring Truman R. Fisher on piano, Claude Alexander on traps, Greg E. Chavis on the Moog Synthesizer and Davis W. Johnson on electric bass. The College-Community Symphony Orchestra has met regularly for the past 15 years. It is the oldest College- Community orchestra in the state, performing three concerts each school year and once every summer session. Rotten Bread Display Stirs Up Controversy Seeing loaves of bread rot in the school cafeteria caused a female student to stand up and speak out at a recent ASB Board meeting. Robin Forester, an active member of the ecology action club on campus, objected to the fact that the cafeteria was wasting loaves of bread by just letting them rot. “Forty pounds a month is just too much,” she said. “There are people who have nothing to eat, and the PCC cafeteria wastes forty pounds.” Floyd Beatty, AMS president, was appointed by the ASB to investigate Miss Forster’s charges. He found out that they were true. Loaves of bread were on display in the cafeteria, and they were indeed rotting away. But Beatty also found that the bread was not made by the cafeteria, and did not cost the cafeteria any money. “The bread comes as a good will gesture from a local bakery. They give it to the school free, and it’s a legitimate ad vertising expense,” he said. “The cafeteria had looked into the I Coutiet Vol. 35, No. 9 Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California November 17, 1972 EDITORIAL PCC Puts It on Line at El Camino The Metropolitan Conference championship and a possible berth in the state playoffs all at stake in one game? The chance in three years to stop the El. Camino Warriors? To knock off No. 1? Possible? The Lancers will put all they have on the line against a team they haven’t been able to beat for three years. The team— well, let me tell you briefly about them. El Camino is defending Metro champ, as well as defending state champ and has an almost all-veteran ball club which returns from last year to aid the cause...., ..... . . _ . . . . . . _ The Lancers, 9-0 going into Saturday evening’s game, have more than an unblemished record at stake : a No. 2 ranking in the state and a No. 3 ranking in the nation. During this season the Lancers have surprised many. Not just opposing teams, but fans, faculty and press alike. Thus far PCC disposed of Compton 31- 0, Moorpark 29-7, Taft 51-44, Cerritos 17-14, Citrus 29-8, Long Beach 29-14, Pierce 18-14, Bakersfield 21-14 and LA Valley 28-21. El Camino? The Lancers, under the fine coaching of head mentor Bill Sandstrom and his talented staff of Harvey Hyde, Myron Tarkanian, Ron Robinson, Skip Robinson and Larry Misch, have done their best and it has shown throughout this 1972 Lancer campaign. The Lancers have more than performed to ex¬ pectations and maybe some more in the climb uphill to No. 1. This team is more than deserving because of the spirit that is aroused by its players; the hard work and dedication by all have paid off in big dividends, and this is the main factor in the 9-0 record it has forged for itself. Leading the way for the Lancers on Saturday evening into the big invasion of Murdock Stadium on the campus of El Camino College will be one of the most potent offensive machines in SoCal today. Rick Holoubek leads the Lancers’ offense at quarterback. A confident, relaxed individual who possesses some fine talent and statistics has through nine games completed 86 passes out of 172 attempts, for 1716 yards, and 15 touchdowns. In the Lancer backfield there are Elvin Momon, who has rushed for 938 yards in 185 carries in nine games for an average of 14.2 yards a carry. Dennis Bevel has come on late to spark the PCC running game in many a clutch situation. Bevel is also something else to watch when he returns punts. Joe Lockhart, who has no action lately due to an injury may see action tomorrow night. Joe has picked up 119 yards in 26 totes for a 4.6 average a carry. Jesse “J. L.” Roberts will be at his best for the Warriors. Jesse has 41 receptions for 886 yards and six TDs. He is a fine major college potential. Tom Maher, who has performed brilliantly all season, and who has been in many a clutch situation, and Tom Hendershott should see their share of action. The offensive line, which has stood up strong all season, will be led by big Earl Owens and Dave Furmanski at the tackles, Norman Martin and Van Day at the guard spots, with either Russell Davis or Vince del Aquilla at center. The defense, which has been strong and potent all season, will be led by Randy Carrucci and Joe Westphall on the defensive end positions, while Jerry Kennedy and Ted Sheehy hold down the tackle spots. Cliff Clark and Gerald Thornton are the guards, while Mike Espinosa is the middle linebacker. In the defensive secondary, the Lancers are led by Jimmy Andrews, who has been outstanding all season with numerous interceptions to his credit along with three TDs. Tony Falls has come along well, and Maurice Miller con¬ tinues to shine for the Lancer defense. Sonny Brockman has been, and should continue to be brutal and make his presence known. That’s also true of Neal Criss, who, despite being out for a few games with an injury, has managed to shine in the last two games. Craig Cornwell handles all the punting chores and averages close to 40 yards a punt. Dan Liota and Jim Hatchett split the placements between them. The Lancers will be ready for the test, and you can be sure that they will be giving their best effort of the year for this one. The game, already being tabbed as the JC game of the year, finds the Lancers in a do-or-die situation and their backs against the wall. El Camino is well coached and has fine talent as well as a veteran ball club. The Warriors are big and have fine speed, but don’t count the Lancers out there. They’ll be tough. Building To Close Avenue Completiqp of the first phase of the Paramedical Building is at the point where it is imperative to extend the campus utilities for the final con¬ nection according to Leonard Knapp, director of building services. Excavation has begun in the driveway entrance at Sierra Bonita next to C Building. “This excavation,” said Knapp, “will remain open until approximately Dec. 12.” Knapp suggests that those who use the parking lot next to C Building use the entrance from Sierra Bonita near the auto shop. “An added inconvenience will exist approximately Nov. 27, when the contractor will have to close Sierra Bonita for a minimum of two days to excavate and place a temporary bridge,” said Knapp.This temporary bridge will remain until ap-' proximately Dec. 14, at which time the street will be closed for two days for backfilling and paving. “Thank you in advance for your cooperation during this period of construction,” concluded Knapp. TOM BROKAW . . . visiting newscaster Traveler To Speak on Israel Israel, a small nation that has captured the attention of the world in recent years, is the topic slated for next week’s Tuesday Evening Forum. Walter S. “Sid” Dodson, an English¬ man who spent five years in the Middle East before coming to the United States in 1949, is the narrator. A former engineer who practiced photography and cinematography part-time, Dodson decided to become a full-time travelog artist because he enjoyed making films and meeting people of different countries. His personally narrated films are described as intriguing ana unusual because of his professional photography and training. Tuesday Evening Forums, a tradition of many years’ standing at PCC, bring the public lectures on science, politics and many other topics of interest. Rooter Bus A rooter bus will be available to get students to the El Camino vs. PCC game. It will be stationed at Hill and Colorado and will leave at 5:30 p.m. For those who will be driving, take the Pasadena Freeway to the Harbor Freeway; turn north on to the San Diego Freeway and take the Cren¬ shaw offramp. Follow Crenshaw north for one mile and the college is on the left side. French Film To Raise Fund for Scholarship ‘‘The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie,” a film by Luis Bunues, will be shown in an exclusive Pasa¬ dena preview on Monday at 8 p.m. in Sexson Auditorium. A tax-deductible donation of $5 will be requested of the general audience, but PCC teachers and students with identification will be admitted for $2. The money will benefit the PCC Student Scholarship in the French section of the Foreign Languages Department. The film will star Fernando Rey, previously seen in “The French Connection.” He appears as the Ambassador to France from a mythical South American country which sounds like Argentina and he smuggles heroin in his diplomatic pouch. He sells it to two of his social pals, who with their wives and a sister-in- law constitute a dinner party for hate, a collective lead for the film. Various reviews have described the sophisticated comedy as “wickedly entertaining” and “a film that dissects the well-mannered follies, the decadence, the hypocricies, and the deep-seated fears of society’s soft upper crust.” The Alliance Francaise of Pasadena will present “The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie” through the courtesy of Twentieth Century-Fox. Tickets will be available on the night of the per¬ formance at Sexson Auditorium. Grad List Students who are candidates for graduation on Jan. 27, 1973 should check the list that is posted on the bulletin boards outside C206. The names will be printed as posted on the diplomas. Any corrections or additions, such as in spelling, should be reported to C108 prior to Dec. 1. possibility of using plastic loaves of bread, but decided that the expense was too much. The cafeteria uses the bread only because it is free,” claimed Beatty after talking with Bud Thourp, cafeteria manager. “If they didn’t get the bread free, there would not be any bread on display. I don’t think there is a problem,” concluded Beatty. Miss Forster, after finding out about theinvestigation, said that this was the second time this year bread had been on display. “I think it’s cool that they will lacquer the bread, but that is not the solution I’m looking for. I realize that the school doesn’t pay for the bread, but the wheat does have to bo grown through ecological living and I see this as a terribly absurd and ridiculous waste. “I want a promise that they won’t waste any more bread. I don’t like it from the standpoint of wasting,” she said. Thourp said the bread displays helped to increase sales. Students To Evaluate Faculty Performance Beginning next week PCC students start evaluating whether they think teachers conduct interesting classes, use impartial grading systems, and promote an atmosphere of respect. “This is a real opportunity for students to be active participants in the evaluation of teachers,” said Dr. Stanley E. Gunstream, administrative dean of instruction. “We want to hear what students have to say.” Those up for evaluation, explained Dr. Gunstream, are the contract and temporary faculty members and about half of the regular faculty members. “The other half of the regular faculty members will be evaluated next year,” said Dr. Gunstream. Students are encouraged by Dr. Gunstream to use the narrative statement on the back of the evaluation sheet. After the computer has tabulated the sheets and made a print-out, it will be given to depart¬ ment chairmen who in turn will give the print-outs to teachers so they can read student comments. “Print-outs won’t be given to teachers until after students have received their grades,” assured Dr. Gunstream. “We want to improve instruction. We’re not out to get anybody.” Student evaluation sheets consist of 15 printed questions and space for five additional questions so that each department can add its own questions. Ratings on the evaluation range from poor, fair and good to very good, and outstanding. Judean Club Sponsors Jerusalem Fair Soon A new club has been started on the PCC campus. It is the Judean Club and it is beginning at a most appropriate time, because Israel is celebrating its twenty -fifth anniversary and Jewish organizations all over the world are celebrating along with it. The most important of the Judean Club’s activities for the silver anniversary include co-sponsorship of the Jerusalem Fair in Los Angeles. The fair will highlight a display of priceless Israeli relics, which will be on display in the Los Angeles Convention Center, and will include a collection of coins belonging to Pope Paul VI. These coins, gathered from all parts of the Holy Land over a period of 900 years, are in the custody of the Franciscan Order of Israel, custodians of the Holy Land. Included in the 34-coin collection are pieces from ancient Galilea, Trachonitis, Decapolis, Arabia, Judea and Samaria. Many of the coins date back to the time of Christ. Many other artifacts will also be on display at the fair, which will last from Thursday, Nov. 23 to Sunday, Dec. 3. Members of the club hope to set up tables on campus to sell tickets and provide information to interested students. In its first semester, the club has participated in such cooperative efforts as the international bake sale, sponsored by the International Club.
