Rose Queen Requirements To
Be Stuted ut Noon Assembly
By ANITA SOHUS
Will the 1970 Queen of the
Tournament of Roses again be a
PCC coed, as 38 of the 50 queens
have been?
An assembly will be held Octo¬
ber 9 at noon in Sexson Auditor¬
ium to inform PCC coeds about
eligibility requirements, tryout in¬
formation, and the Tournament of
Roses.
Girls from 21 Pasadena area
schools will begin competition Oc¬
tober 15 for the honor of being in
the Royal Court, consisting of the
Queen and six princesses.
The Tournament began in 1890,
but the first queen was chosen in
1905. From 1905 to 1930 there
were only 11 queens, most of
them socialites, stars, or girls who
had achieved fame in some area.
From 1933 to 1966, the Rose
Queen and her court were chosen
exclusively from PCC. However,
all but one of the queens from
1930 to 1969 attended PCC at the
times of their coronation, accord¬
ing to Mrs. Lillian Castagna, sec¬
retary to the dean of student
activities.

to keep in shape. Interested men
and women students learn and
practice dance techniques and
share dance experiences with
others.
Mrs. Adele Tingey, club adyiser,
is returning this year from a sab¬

where she studied film and TV

production in order to be able to
preserve some of the superior
works that are created by PCC
students. She also studied modern
dance, dance therapy, and ethnic
dancing.
Mrs. Tingey returns with much
enthusiasm and has already set
up an ambitious club program.
Members will meet every Tuesday
from 12 to 12:50 for a workout.
Several outstanding profession¬
al dance teachers have been invit¬
ed to visit Orchesis. Each will
present his or her dance style on
a different day and provide an un¬
paralleled opportunity for the
students to work under these
artists.
There will be no charge to the
student for these master-lessons,
but he must be a member of Or¬
chesis. Dues are $1 per person
per year. Membership will be
closed next Tuesday because of
limited floor space in the dance
studio.
The first semester club program
will emphasize meeting others
and working out. The second se¬
mester will be devoted to a thea¬
ter performance, scheduled for
May 7-8 in Sexson Auditorium.

ing or choreographing should
sign up now. Men are especially
welcome.

the first meeting of the student
officers for the fall semester.
The council assembled in the
student lounge last Wednesday,
to confirm the appointments of
the commissioners and call for
announcements from the various
campus organizations.

agenda with the student body fi¬
nancial statement. 292 fall semes¬
ter ASB cards and 1,420 two se¬
mester cards were sold during
freshman orientation, bringing in
a total of $17,450. This figure is
$965 short of the budget set in
1968. A new student body card
sale will be in operation this week
in the hopes that the sophomores
and remaining freshmen will pur¬
chase the cards.

the AMS and AWS, headed by
Rudy Fordham and Patricia Ei-
kenbery respectively.
The AWS announced the close
of their membership drive last
Monday, and a luncheon to host
the new applicants tomorrow.

dent, reported the meeting of 45
members of the Senate to discuss
the working of faculty evaluation.
He also proposed at free rock
concert and film festival.
Dean John Eikenbery was next
to speak.
“I dislike having decisions be¬
tween faculty members and civic
leaders being made without stu¬
dent representation.” The dean
was referring to a meeting to be
held in the near future at which
he advised the board to have two
appointed students present. Free
lunch during the meeting was of¬
fered by Eikenbery.
The arrangement for a special
issue of “Dialogue” to present the
press conference between the ASB
Board and staff members of the

nounced next. Freshman student

tober 9 and 10, were declared on
the same slate.
After ICC president Adrian
Thomas told of Student Organi¬
zation Day October 7, Traylor
closed the meeting.

Mexican-Americans
Join Under UMAS
By BILL PLATTE
Bill Sanchez, president of UMAS
meanders into the room for the
weekly meeting of the United
Mexican American Students. It
is now noon, September 25, and
time to begin.
Here today 14 individuals will
huddle together in a group in
order to pool their wisdom and
obtain the goals set before them:
A few brave and concerned in¬
dividuals, against thousands of
unaware students who do not
even realize that UMAS exists.
But it does. UMAS is a working
and well-organized group which
can be found on most every cam¬
pus in Southern California. It
made its way to the P.C.C. campus
in May. Ever since, it has been
growing stronger.
But they couldn’t do it alone.
The expert guidance and wisdom
of Raoul Guzman of the faculty
was their ace up the sleeve. A
group of young adults gathered
together without some pull from
the faculty would perhaps have
been mistaken as another civil
rights group out to cause trouble.
But now UMAS is accepted as
an organized group to try to better
fill the wants of the Mexican-
American students.
probe the recent advances in
genetics which have created the
possibility that man will have, in
the future, the potential to change
his own characteristics, including
even his central nervous system.
“Earthquakes and Tall Build¬
ings” will be the topic for the Oc¬
tober 27 lecture. Dr. Paul C. Jen¬
nings, associate professor of ap¬
plied mechanics, will discuss how
the rapid increase in high-rise
construction in the Los Angeles
and other seismic regions of the
world has brought widespread in¬
terest in the earthquake response
of tall buildings.
The talk will focus on current
research work, including meas¬
urements of building motions,
which has increased our under¬
standing of the response of tall
structures to earthquakes.
Further lectures will probe into
such areas as “Cosmic X-Rays —
A New Window into the Uni¬
verse,” “Radio Astronomy of the
Planets,” “How Do Small Mole¬
cules Do Great Things,” and ‘The
African Heritage of the American
Black Man.”
Student Writings
Sought by ‘ Pipes 1
Pipes of Pan, annual anthology
of student writing published at
PCC, once again invites literary
contributions from the entire

short stories, and illustrations
(including cover designs) will be
accepted.
Pipes of Pan is edited and pub¬
lished by students in creative
writing classes. The staff strives
to produce and anthology with as
many contributors as possible,
representing all phases of cam¬
pus life; consequently, the con¬
tents are selected from material
submitted by the entire student
body.

literary quality, and may be
placed in the Pipes of Pan box in
the English office (1170, or given
to Ivan Jones, faculty adviser
(1190. Deadline for submission
of material is December 1, al¬
though earlier submission allows
the staff more time to consider
the material.

Michael Murphy, editor; Harriette
Abels, Mike Davies, Mary Haley,
and Lora Harrington, assistant
editors; and Avelina Fernandez,
art editor.
