Anderson Speaks
on ECM Problems
at Tuesday Forira
George Anderson will narrate
liis film, “The European Common
Market,” at the season’s first
Tuesday Evening Forum next
Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Sexson Audi;
torium.
The color film opens the 1963-
64 forum series. It takes the
viewer into each member country
and describes its industrial out¬
put together with the manner in
which the labor force moves
from country to country. It
traces the flow of manufactured
products throughout Europe, and
focuses upon the human prob¬
lems which the market creates.
Anderson also points out the
implications which the Common
Market has for United States ag¬
riculture and industry.
A graduate of the University of
California at Berkeley, with a de¬
gree in economics, the lecturer
was one of the “sprinting Ander¬
son” brothers: George, Don, and
Mickey, who crossed the United
States several times with an
American track team. Anderson
coached in El Salvador upon grad¬
uation and during the war years
trained Naval Air Cadets.
Throughout this period he became
interested in photography and de¬
voted himself to perfecting his
photographic techniques.
Forum director Ralph Hallman
said that a well-rounded program
has been planned for the year.
All forum seasonal presentations
are open to the public, and good
season tickets are still available.
Students Protest
Board’s Decision
to Reassign Finot
Some 35 Pasadena City College
students picketed the Pasadena
Board of Education offices last
week protesting a decision which
reassigned a Muir High history
teacher who refused to shave off
his beard.
The pickets, former students of
Muir instructor Paul Finot,
marched for almost an hour early
Friday afternoon.
Finot, 40, was reassigned to
home teaching after a Board of
Education decision supported by
Superintendent of Schools Rob¬
ert E. Jenkins was aired.
The students termed the
board’s action “an unreasonable
ruling.” Freshman Rod Braswell,
who was in a Finot class last
year, said the students were not
arguing for or against the beard
but because they felt the school
system does not have the right to
impose such a ruling on Finot.
At the weekly board meeting
last night, Dr. Jenkins said Finot
had been reassigned because of
“insubordination and broken
promises” and not because he re¬
fused to shave the beard.

College President Studies
New York Jaycee System
NEW YORK CITY — Dr. Catherine J. Robbins, Pasadena City
College president and "First Lady of junior college education in the
United States,” is currently studying and preparing a report here on
New York’s junior college program.
Dr. Robbins will participate in this project through October 11.
Dr. Herman R. Wells, chancellor of the University of Indiana, is
heading the project. During the study Dr. Robbins will visit ten
public junior colleges in New York City and its suburbs.
The completed report will cover recommendations for expanding
the junior college instructional program of this area. The report is
eventually to be presented to the New York State Legislature.
Because of what has been termed a “comprehensive and outstand¬
ing” educational program at Pasadena City College, numerous junior
colleges throughout the nation have evidenced interest in developing
programs similar to that of PCC and other California junior colleges
for their campuses.
Dean John Twomey is in general charge of PCC during the college
president’s absence.

Baxter's Balladeers Perform
in Frosh Election Assembly
Les Baxter’s Balladeers will
perform during the freshman
election assembly tomorrow at
noon in Sexson Auditorium.
Beforehand the four frosh presi¬
dential candidates will present
their platforms. An ASB book is
mandatory for attendance.
ARRANGER and composer
Baxter recently organized a group
of four folk singers — Mike
Clough, Bob Ingram, and Chip
and Dave Crosby — into a night
club, television, and recording at¬
traction.
The group has already recorded
an album for Reprise records
titled “Les Baxter’s Balladeers.”
Although Baxter does not travel
or sing with the group, he selects
all of their material, creates the
arrangements, and directs the
staging.
CLOUGH — a baritone, guitarist,
and comedian — was born in Nash¬
ville, Tenn., in 1942, and began
singing at age five. When 11
years old he took up the guitar.
Clough appeared at the Monterey
Folk Festival, appeared in a hoot¬
enanny, and met arranger Bax¬
ter.
A bass singer who plays the 12
string guitar, Ingram was bom
in New York City, in 1938. In¬
gram is a specialist in American
and Spanish folk music and looks
upon the folk music field as “a
fine opportunity to satisfy my
flair for travel.” The bass sing¬
er joined the Balladeers on rec¬
ommendations of Clough and
Chris Crosby, who had worked
with Ingram previously.
CHIP CROSBY is the group’s
second tenor, bass player, and
drummer. He was born in Holly¬
wood, Calif., in 1937, the son of
cinematographer Floyd Crosby.
His major interest is music, hav¬
ing first studied drums, guitar,
and most recently, bass fiddle.
Dave Crosby, Chip’s younger
brother, was born in Los Angeles
in 1941. The top tenor and a
six and 12 string guitar player,
Dave Crosby’s first major influ¬
ence in folk music was Travis
Edmonson, and more recently
Bob Gibson, Fred Neil, and Dino
Valiente. He has studied acting
at the Pasadena Playhouse.
The Balladeers appear current¬
ly at the Ice House in Pasadena.
DENNIS Thompson, another
PHS’er, wants to “establish a
Freshman Class organization that
will act to create interest, partici¬
pation, pride, and spirit in all
freshmen at Pasadena City Col¬
lege." At PHS Thompson was a
member of Junior Achievement,
the lettermen’s club, foreign re¬
lations seminar, and the pep com¬
mission.
Mike Stockton hails from Pasa¬
dena High School. His platform
is “to make the Freshman Class
a more effective group of stu¬
dents and future members of so¬
ciety, and to make the freshman
government more effective."
Acting elections commissioner
Art Hewitt noted that in order to
vote the student must be a fresh¬
man, have an ASB book, and have
his ID card when he goes to the
polls.
Freeman's Surfing Pix
Screen Tonight at 8
Jim Freeman presents his all¬
color surfing adventure film, “Let
There Be Surf,” in Sexson Audi¬
torium tonight at 8. Tickets will
be $1.50 at the door.

Bonzai Pipeline surf spot in Ha¬
waii, with Butch Van Artsdalen

work is highlighted by a spec¬
tacular encounter between a
“streamliner” and a “little blue
jeep.”
The towering waves of the typ¬
ical surf movie are replaced by

reel. These small waves are
“much harder to photograph." ac¬
cording to the cameraman.
