Gleason nabs office by narrow margin PCC CotPiteSv Vol. 15, No. 4 Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California October 4, 1961 Taking- time out from his heavy campaign chores, BIG newly-elected Freshman President Pat Gleason, JOB tries out the trademark of another famous presi- AHEAD dent. First on the agenda of the ASB leader will be to choose a freshman class council to assist him in carrying out campaign plans. Guido, Hutchinson gain vote power as Rep Council VP’s Only 346 votes polled in presidential election Pat Gleason squeezed into the office of Freshman Class president Friday by the narrow margin of 34 votes. Out of 346 polled votes, Gleason registered 190, to his opponent Richard Bond’s 156. The freshman presidential campaign began Sep- Moliere's classic in French dialect scheduled Monday “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme,” film version of Moliere’s classic French drama, will be shown next Monday in Sexson Auditorium at 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. Sponsored by the foreign lan¬ guage department, the film’s French dialog will remain intact, however English sub-titles will be added for non-linguists. “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme” (The Would-be Gentleman), traces the adventures of a weal¬ thy, but foolish, man who seeks to ape the manners of nobility. This was the first film made by the Comedie Francaise, national theater of France, established in 1680. It was intended as an ex¬ periment to preserve in motion pictures classic theatrical produc¬ tions and to present them to a wide international audience. Students and instructors intent upon the language, history, and drama of France are encouraged to attend the movie by Arthur Wi¬ ley, foreign language department chairman, who described the film as “a delightful satire of univer¬ sal appeal.” ‘World Madness’ will be examined in Tuesday forum Dr. Edward J. Stainbrook, pro¬ fessor and psychiatric consultant, will discuss “Madness in the Mod¬ ern World” at next week’s Tues¬ day Evening Forum. The lecture will begin at 8 in Sexson Audi¬ torium. The “madness” to which Stain- brook refers involves the various forms of psychoses which emerge from the political tensions and cultural conflicts today. He be¬ lieves this to be common among all people, not merely the United States. Stainbrook, as department chairman of psychiatry at the University of Southern California, has recently lectured throughout the United States on psychological forces which make for mature behavior. He formerly served as director of the Yale University Psychiat¬ ric Hospital and as professor of psychiatry at the State University of New York. In addition his many profession¬ al duties and positions he acts as consultant in psychiatry to the Surgeon General of the United States Army.

He will be accompanied on the piano by Ema Schonbach. The program will include “So¬ nata in G Minor for Viola and Piano,” by Henry Eccles; “Coun¬ try Dances,” by Beethoven, and “Suite on American Folksongs,” by Manuel Vardi. Numbers from the latter selec¬ tion include “Unconstant Lover.” “I Will and I Must Get Married,” “The Wayfaring Stranger,” and “On the Banks of the Old Pee Dee.” All music enthusiasts are en¬ couraged to attend the weekly ses¬ sions, which feature professional musicians or PCC students in re¬ cital. Harry Guida and Scott Hutch¬ inson were elected first and second vice- presidents yesterday at the second meeting of the newly-formed Representative Council. The two students will auto matically become voting members on the ASB Board. A constitution for the council was unanimously ratified by its members at the beginning of the meeting, however a committee to consider possible amendments was immediately set up. Better campus communication and increased campus improve¬ ment plans were high among the goals set last week in the first meeting of the council. Replacing last year’s College 100, the Rep Council was estab¬ lished by law of the amended ASB Constitution. It is composed of elected stu¬ dents from each Monday 9 o’clock class who provide a liai¬ son between the student body, ASB board, faculty, and admir.is tration. ALL-DAY parking on Sierra Bonita Street, adjacent to the col¬ lege, will be sought by the. coun¬ cil, since the houses on the street will soon be vacated. Construc¬ tion plans for new parking lots are currently going on in the area. Other projects will include re¬ pairing of prairie benches and replacing of rusty letters on some of the campus buildings. Dean invited to youth conference S. Luke Curtis, dean of student activities, has been invited by Governor Edmond G. Brown to take part in the governor’s con¬ ference on Youth in Community Service. The conference will be held November 13 and 14 in Long Beach. Curtis was recently appointed by PCC president Cather Robbins as a community consultant. ACCORDING to council presi¬ dent Joe Sanfilippo, the new or¬ ganization has increased powers over the College 100 since it will have vqting privileges on the ASB board. The reps will meet twice a month and serve as a deliberative and communicating body. Each member will be expected to give a report to his class on the busi¬ ness discussed and ask for sug¬ gestions or problems to be brought up at future meetings. “In this way,” Sanfilippo noted, “problems can be approached more directly and with greater student body awareness.” tember 25 with three candidates vying for the empty position. Be¬ fore the election assembly last Thursday contender Millard Schenck announced his withdraw¬ al from the race. Friday, Glea¬ son defeated Bond in one of the closest presidential elections ever to be held on the PCC campus. In an interview after the an¬ nouncement of his victory, Glea¬ son commented, “I’m very pleased with the results. I have a big job ahead.” When questioned about his fu¬ ture plans for the Freshman Class and action he hoped to initiate during his term of of¬ fice, Gleason stated, “I hadn’t really thought about it. I’ve been busy. Of course, I suppose I’ll have to start making time. I’m an engineering major. I’m real busy.” Gleason refused to comment on the closeness of the race. Among the past activities in which the president has partici¬ pated are senior class president at Eagle Rock High School, com¬ missioner of athletics, junior class vice-president, CSF, and boys’ league representative. Two cabinet posts created by board Two cabinet positions, editor of the Press Bureau and commission¬ er of publications, were created yesterday by a unanimous vote of the ASB board. It was also voted to nulify the present office of commissioner of publications and public relations. Applicants are now being con¬ sidered to fill the two posts. The press bureau editor will be responsible for off-campus publi¬ city regarding PCC. The commis¬ sioner of publications will be a coordinator among the five cam¬ pus publications, and will head journalism activties throughout the semester. Applications are now availabia for the Freshman Class Council. Gleason will choose his council and announce selected members at a later date. Comic star spot in ‘Male Animal’ copped by Miller Larry Miller, PCC drama ma¬ jor, has copped top billing in the coming college production of “The Male Animal.” He will portray the comic role of Tommy Turner, young college professor who becomes involved in a series of mishaps over a col¬ lege alumni day. Opening day for the Theater Arts Presentation is October 27 in Sexson Auditorium. MILLER HAS previously ap¬ peared in the campus productions of “Arsenic and Old Lace,” “Point of No Return,” “Of Flesh and Spirit,” and “Ondine.” He is president of Delta Psi Omega, the campus chapter of Larry Miller . . . to play Tucker the honorary drama fraternity. “The Male Animal” follows the antics of a group of old grads whooping it up in a return visit to their alma mater. Trouble first appears when Pro¬ fessor Turner’s pretty wife (play¬ ed by Barbara Ranson) meets an old beau (Frank Dane) at the affair. Jealousy takes the reins and turns the play into an hilari¬ ous situation comedy. THE SECOND love triangle in¬ volves Turner’s niece (Marilynne MacLood) and her entanglements with an intellectual boy friend (Bill Howie) and a football player (Jack Dahlka) in a battle of brains versus brawn. The play takes a twist turn when the “brains” decide that “brawn” is the only way to a woman’s heart, and give it a try. Add a narrow-minded board of trustees, some fast-paced comedy and you have, as Miller puts it, “a play combination guaranteed to bring laughter.” •Post-game dance An informal post-game dance will be held on the prairie Fri¬ day night following the Ventura football game in the Rose Bowl. Approximate time will be 10:45- 12, according to Alan Locher, president of the Sophomore Council which is sponsoring the dance. No admission will be charged.

The Red and Gold banquet and queen contest will be sponsored by AMS later in the semester. MEG CHEN, AWS president, has already begun work on the “big brother-sister” program for foreign students, which originated from her board. Various sales throughout the semester will act as money-making devices for charitable organizations. Both of the boards will combine their efforts to put on the AMS- AWS dance for the student body at the end of the semester.
