'The Time Machine'
Screens Monday
“The Time Machine,” a 1960 color movie based on H. G.
/Wells’ science fiction classic, will screen Monday at 3:15 p.m.
land 7:30 in Sexson Auditorium. Fifty-cent tickets are avail¬
able in English classes, from English Council members, and
tin the English department office.
’The English Council is sponsor¬
ing the event.
According to Sight and Sound
magazine, the film is an “ingeni¬
ous George Pal version of Wells’
science fiction, taking in atomic
wars and a visit to the year
r802,701, when somnambulistic
girls and furry little men are the
earth’s main inhabitants.”
( “The Time Machine” stars Rod
Taylor, a young man who, on
Dec. 31, 1899, steps into his home¬
brew time machine and plunges
into the future. Of this experi¬
ence Wells wrote: “I took the
starting lever in one hand and the
stopping one in the other, pressed
the first, and almost immediately
the second. I seemed to reel: I
felt a nightmare sensation of fall¬
ing.
“The laboratory got hazy and
went dark . . . The night came
like the turning of a lamp, and in
another moment came tomorrow
. . I had the feeling of a helpless
headlong motion, the horrible an¬
ticipation of an immediate
smash.”
Taylor stops his machine first
in year 1917, and encounters
World War I. Next he stops in
1939, and finds World War II.
Then, in 1966, he finds WW III.
The time traveler’s final stop
is in 802,701, where he discovers
a tribe of cannibalistic creatures
called Morlocks, a weird civiliza-
tion, and love in the form of
Yvette Mimieux.

'Socialism Path
to Communism/
Richardson Says
“The communists work for so¬
cialism in America because it’s
easier to infect one state than
50,” H. L. “Bill” Richardson, lo¬
cal leader of the John Birch So¬
ciety and former 29th Congres¬
sional District candidate, said yes¬
terday.
According to Richardson, the
Communist Party here is com¬
posed of 22 sections, with each
section containing more than one
“cell.” The cell is a front or trans¬
mission belt which pushes propa¬
ganda. “There are literally
hundreds of fronts in this coun¬
try,” the former congressional
candidate said.
Later Richardson said, “When
you start stepping on liberal toes
— Fidel Castro’s toes — you get
called ‘controversial’.”
On property rights the Birch
leader said, “Today we’re seeing
too much property taken away
from us — I don’t mean just physi¬
cal property — human property.”
Richardson believes that the
way to avoid fanaticism is to
know all sides.

Bill Rada is freshman president. He was elected Friday
by a wide majority. Rada received 145 votes, Dennis Thomp¬
son 84, Mike Stockton 37, and Jay Malinowski 30.
Mr. Rada said, “First 1 want to thank everyone who
worked on the campaign with me; Cherri Schmidt, my cam¬
paign manager, Dick Sakahara, and all those others who helped
me distribute my publicity.
“As far as plans go for this term, I want to see a freshman
night at the Ice House materialize. Then, I will work on my
idea of the inter-collegiate snail
race. Besides these new activities
I will continue the traditions of
the Freshman Class, such as the
mum sale, shoe shine, and dance.
I have some other ideas, too, but
first I want to get this Ice House
idea going.
“I am going to need a good
Freshman Council to help me car¬
ry out these ideas. The council
is open to everybody and I would
like to talk to as many people as
possible about joining it.”
At Pasadena High School, Rada
learned about student government

committees. He also was a mem¬
ber of the House of Representa¬

Willard L Beaulac Speaks
About Latin American Politics
Willard L. Beaulac, career dip¬
lomat with some 30 years expe¬
rience in Latin America, will dis¬
cuss “Recent Economic and Po¬
litical Developments in Latin
America” at the Tuesday Eve¬
ning Forum, Tuesday at 8 p.m.
in Sexson Auditorium.
The public is invited. A few
season tickets are still available
from the forum office.
BEAULAC believes that since
the other American republics oc¬
cupy one-sixth of the land area
on the earth, and since they are
joined to us by history and by
common interest, this rapidly
growing area will play an increas¬
ingly important role in world
politics.
Our best interest, Beaulac be¬
lieves, is to help insure that the
developing nations to the south
should be strong, prosperous, and
cooperative friends of the United
States, and American politics
should be aimed at bringing about
that result.
1C Dance
The International Club will
hold a dance Friday from 8
until 12 p.m. in the Campus
Center. Admission is free to
IC members; admission is $1
for non-members. The dollar,
however, also entitles the stu¬
dent to a membership card for
the semester. A dance band
will provide entertainment. Re¬
freshments are to be served.
YR’s Report Big
Membership Drive
The Young Republicans are
carrying on the most successful
membership drive in the group’s
history, members reported this
week.
Interested students still may
join by paying their dues at the
College Bank or through a cur¬
rent YR members.
Club members will hold a social
Friday afternoon for new mem¬
bers, and will elect officers Oc¬
tober 29.
The YR’s already have spon¬
sored some events this semester.
Judy Roswell organized a group
to sell tickets for the Goldwater
rally over the summer. Proceeds
were given by Miss Roswell to
the YR’s treasury.
The club sponsored a speech
by Bill Richardson, coordinating
chairman for the John Birch So¬
ciety and one-time 29th Congres¬
sional District candidate.
George Todt, political columnist
for the Herald-Examiner, will ad¬
dress the club November 12.

WILLARD L. BEAULAC
. Tuesday Forum speaker
“BUT THESE policies,” Beaulac
says, “in order to be effective,
must be well conceived and well-
carried out. The problems of Lat¬
in America, and the problems that
characterize our relations with
the area are varied and complex.
Slogans and easy over-simplifica¬
tion may add to rather than less¬
en those problems.”
Beaulac holds two degrees from
Georgetown University, and has
served in embassies and consu¬
lates in Mexico, Honduras, Haiti,
Dominican Republic, and Nica¬
ragua. During the war years, he
was consul of the US Embassy
in Madrid.
Freshman Students Take
ACE Psychological Exam
All basic communication students will take the ACE Psychologi¬
cal Examination this week, according to Joe Risser, PCC psychologist.
The examination is not an intelligence test but is designed to
measure scholastic aptitude. The results can be used for more ef¬
fective educational and vocational planning.
THE TEST covers ability in math and science, language, reading,
and overall college work. It is intended to give the student an insight
to his own ability to do college level work, and to let the student know
what kind of competition he faces.
Scores on the test show how a student’s performance compares
with other junior college students who took the same test. The per¬
centile scoring system employed by the ACE exam allows each stu¬
dent to know the percentage of students who scored below him in a
given category, as well as the percentage who scored above him.
RESULTS of the examination will be especially useful to hope¬
ful transfer students. If, for example, a student wishes to transfer
to UCLA, he can compare his scholastic ability as measured by the
examination with that of present UCLA students who have taken the
same test. A profile of UCLA scores will be available to him through
his counselor, who will discuss the information with him.
This year, for the first time, a test of reading skill has been added
to the examination. The addition, “more or less experimental,” ac¬
cording to Risser, will provide the student with an index to his ’read¬
ing speed, accuracy, and comprehension.
