PCC Delegates Find Weekend
State JC Conference Beneficial
Court's Seven Royal
Names to Be Picked
Six PCC delegates attended the
California Junior College Student
Government Association conven¬
tion in Sacramento over the week¬
end. They were Dennis Thomp¬
son, ASB president; Mike Wrona,
ASB vice-president; Dawn Baker,
AWS president; Bill Mulligan,
AMS president; and Richard Ca-
cioppo. Senate president. Also at¬
tending from PCC was Duane
Crumb who is Area Four associ¬
ate.
In California there are eight
areas with 10 junior colleges to a
region. Each area holds its own
conference.
The object of the semesterly
CJCSGA Conference is to pass
resolutions and make recommen¬
dations for actions advantageous
to all California junior colleges.
The 80 junior colleges in Cali¬
fornia each send five delegates to
the conference. Delegates are di¬
vided evenly to attend one of five
workshops where college needs
are discussed. They are: presi¬
dent workshop; philosophy and
function of student government;
recurring problems; role of the
campus organization; and the
changing student.
Delegates make recommenda¬
tions that are passed to the Cali¬
fornia Junior College Associa¬
tion. CJCA considers them. Some
ideas may be presented to the
California state legislature.
During the meeting, three im¬
portant resolutions were decided
upon: First, a set of resolutions
were passed urging that each ju¬
nior college decide for itself whe¬
ther or not ASB books will be
mandatory. Second, the state leg¬
islature will be asked to rule that
all junior colleges in California
are higher education not secon¬
dary schools. PCC students also
sponsored and advised a compro¬
mise on how much each junior
college pays to the CJCSGA.
College delegates have a choice
of aiming their resolutions to
the state legislature or to other
junior colleges. PCC geared its
suggestions to the state legisla¬
ture believing that it was more
beneficial.
Dennis Thompson, ASB presi¬
dent, said, “The conference was
definitely worthwhile and benefi¬
cial. It pei-mits junior college stu¬
dents a chance to enter their ideas
in bettering their own college and
others. It lends students an op¬
portunity to improve rules."
Council, Club Sponsor
Drive to Aid Synanon
The English Council and the
Sociology Club are sponsoring a
coffee, vinegar, mayonnaise, and
paper products drive for Synanon,
Thursday and Friday, Dec. 2
and 3. Boxes will be placed out¬
side 109C.
The organizations needs the
above items and would also ap¬
preciate facial tissues, toilet tis¬
sue, and any office supplies such
as lined paper, sten pads, etc.
Synanon is the “miracle on the
beach." Representatives have
asked students to help keep it
alive for those drug addicts who
have been given a second chance
by this organization.
Theme for the annual Tourna¬
ment of Roses Parade on Janu¬
ary 1 is “It’s a Small World,” it
was announced by J. Randolph
Richards, association president,
who had asked for suggestions
from the public.
Adding to the consistency of the
theme, the Rose Parade will be
televised to many countries via
the relay satellite, Telstar. Dawn
Baker, last year's Rose Queen
who will ride on the Occidental
float, commented, “The theme
float is very creative and original
in its use of flowers. The theme
also provides a world-wide per¬
spective.”
Walt Disney, who will start the
parade, has donated many of his
animated characters to follow on
foot and on floats, and Mickey
Mouse, who will ride in Disney's
car. Disney has donated 27 dif¬
ferent characters.
A total of 60 floats will partici¬
pate in the parade. Adding to the
pageantry will be the equestrians’
trappings and colorful costumes.
Among 250 horses and riders will

Meeting Topic
Model United Nations will be
the major issue of business at the
December 2 meeting of the Inter¬
national Relations Club.
A group is now forming which
will study issues of past UN ses¬
sions and formulate resolutions to
be sent to Stanford for the six¬
teenth Model United Nations
meet in April.
Study groups will continue
through the end of this semester.
According to Model UN acting
chairman David Laidig, the dele¬
gates to the conference, which
will be April 27-30 in San Fran¬
cisco, will not be selected until
shortly before the final deadline
for registration.
“These MUN study groups of¬
fer an excellent opportunity for
people with majors in fields such
as economics, political science, so¬
ciology, philosophy, and pre-law,
as well as persons interested in
the United Nations to study ques¬
tions that come up before the UN
and specifically prepare argu¬
ments on behalf of the country
we represent,” said Laidig. The
delegation from PCC will repre¬
sent Venezuela in San Francisco.

final ride on January 1, there is
still much to be done. The final
judging is hardly the end of the
committee’s, or the girls’ work.
At all times, the court must re¬
flect an air of dignity. It is chap¬
eroned on all tournament assign¬
ments. Wardrobes for all occa¬
sions are furnished by the tour¬
nament.
From the moment of the court
announcement until game time,
the queen and her six princesses
will be on a rigorous schedule.
They will be the targets for nu¬
merous photographers, beginning
the morning after the announce¬
ment of the court, with Tourna¬
ment of Roses program portraits.
PHOTO schedule: November 30,
queen’s informal and formal news
photos; December 2, queen’s for¬
mal color photos; December 4, the
court’s news, publicity, and offi¬
cial tournament photos; and De¬
cember 6, the court’s parade pic¬
torial and Queen’s Breakfast pho¬
tos.
Miscellaneous media visits,
luncheons, breakfasts, and per¬
sonal appearances fill the itiner¬
ary for the rest of December.
Then, in the early chillness of
the morning of January 1, the ex¬
citement and glamor reach their
climax when the queen and her

Madame Shirley Saint Sparks
Forum with Continental Views
PCC was honored to have Madame Shirley Saint, noted lecturer
and international hostess, speak at a recent Tuesday Evening Forum.
Mme. Saint spent most of the evening showing and explaining
slides of well-known people in France, where she has lived for 16
years. While conducting this scenic “tour,” she pointed out many
interesting differences between the French people and Americans,
especially the women. Among these were that "Femininity is as im¬
portant to the French women as paint is to the artist.” French women
never wear corsages, as the couturiers do not like them to. The
women never criticize men in public.
THE FRENCH, when giving a luncheon or during any meal, ac¬
cording to Mme. Saint, set the dining table in whichever room the
family chooses to eat; very often this is not the dining room.
While showing slides of a set table awaiting a luncheon, Mme.
Saint said that there were dated menus by each plate, although there
were only five people at the meal. Also, the silver was placed face¬
down as the people do not change the fork to the other hand, and this
way it will be in the correct position when they pick it up.
WHILE TOURING the Eiffel Tower with Gustav Eiffel’s 88-year-
old grandson, Mme. Saint saw in the very old guest book in a room
closed to the public, the signatures of Buffalo Bill and Thomas Edison.
She called the French “The greatest realists in the world. Every¬
thing that the French do is of the best quality.”
“The secret of the French is good quality and simplicity.” While
describing harmony in the tastes and clothes of the French women,
she said, “Lack of harmony makes for violence in the world.”
