Rose Queen Contestants Begin
Famous Tryouts October 20
HOME MOVIE? — Nicholas B. Clinch has one of the most interest¬
ing in the world. He showed it at last week's Tuesday Evening
Forum. Clinch and some of his skilled mountain climbing friends
scaled four of the highest peaks in Antartica as recorded in
National Geographic Magazine. The film he presented was
“Survival on the Ice: Assault on Antartica."
Royalty greeted the crowd Fri¬
day when 150 PCC coeds were
addressed by three members of
the 1967 Tournament of Roses
court.
Princesses Mary Fenoglio,
Kathy Grund, and Janet Wop-
schall outlined experiences they
shared during tryouts, being se¬
lected, reigning at the parade last
New Year’s day and all the events
in which they are still involved.
Miss Fenoglio explained tryout
and selection procedures. Refer-
ing to the day she was chosen,
she said “I was a little late for
work that day; like, I never got
there!”
HIGHLIGHTS such as selecting
a wardrobe, the President’s Din¬
ner, the Queen’s Breakfast, a trip
to Disneyland with the USC and
Purdue teams, and the Corona¬
tion Ball were outlined by Miss
Grund. She especially remembers
eating breakfast on a raised plat¬
form in front of 700 people at
the Queen’s Breakfast!
Janet recapped the day of the
parade. From 5 a.m., when the
girls were escorted to the Tour¬
nament House to dress and take
their places on the float, through
the parade, to the game at the
Rose Bowl, utter confusion and
excitement surrounded them. She
especially recalls that Mary’s legs
were in the way of the driver
and that the float came five feet
from hitting a group of on¬
lookers !
PETER DAVIS, Chairman of
the Queen’s Selection Committee,
then explained to the girls what
the committee looks for in choos¬
ing the court.
A girl with sparkle and en¬
thusiasm, one with whom
they’d be proud to be seen and to
know is a likely candidate for the
royal position. Davis emphasized
that the committee is not looking
for a “certain type.” “Everyone
has something to offer; it’s how
many judges see the same thing
at the same time in the same
person.”
All eligible girls are invited to
the first tryout October 20, at
3 p.m., around the pool of the
Huntington-Sheraton Hotel. Con¬
testants should take pairs of heels
and wear something that is at¬
tractive on them.

Arab-lsraeli Crisis: What Next?
Discussed from Two Viewpoints
Two opposing views on the
“Arab-lsraeli Crisis: What Next?”
will be presented in 200C, one
next Tuesday, and the other Octo¬
ber 24, 10:30 a.m. and noon.
General Sir Bagot Glubb ( Glubb
Pasha), who speaks Arabic flu¬
ently and knows the history of
the Middle East including the
Bible lands intimately, will speak
next Tuesday. Dr. Fred Krinsky,
chairman at USC, and author of
“The Renascent Jewish National¬
ism, A Study of its Leading Con¬
cepts and Practices,” will present
his view October 24.
Glubb Pasha, soldier, scholar,
traveler, and historian, began his
military career as second lieute¬
nant in World War I where, in
France and Belgium, he was
wounded three times and awarded
the Military Cross.
As a British Army officer, he
was sent to Iraq in 1926, where
later he was made administrative
inspector by the Iraqi Govern¬
ment. In 1928 he was sent to the
Southern Desert of Iraq to deal
with desert raiding.
He signed a contract with the
Government of Transjordan with
rank of colonel in 1930, and was
commanded by the late King Ab¬
dulla to solve the Bedouin desert-

appointed him chief of staff of the
developing Arab Legion in 1939.
Under his command it became
widely known as one of the finest
trained military units in the Mid¬
dle East.
At the outbreak of World War
II he was recalled to the British
Army and given command of the
Arab Legion. He retired to pri¬
vate life in 1956 and has devoted
himself to writing the following

Orders PCC
to Honor Code
The state fire marshal has or¬
dered Pasadena City College to
comply with Title 19 of the Fire
Safety Code of the State of Cali¬
fornia. Therefore, it will be neces¬
sary to replace the transoms
opening onto the hallways of the
“C,” “D,” and “E” buildings with
flexboard, a fireproof material,
and to install a sprinkler system
in the hallways and in the class¬
rooms. The major renovation
work must be completed during
this school year.
Because of the extent and com¬
plexity of the work the transoms
are now in the process of being
replaced. Every effort will be
made to schedule the work in
classrooms so that it will not in¬
terfere with regular classes. In
some cases it may be necessary
to move some classes for a day.
Workmen are trying to schedule
their work for early morning and
late afternoon, however, to avoid
classroom conflict.
The first phase of the operation
calls for the completion of replac¬
ing transoms in “C” Building,
then moving on to “D” and “E”
buildings. The installation of
sprinklers will be done at a later
time.
Putting a spring system into
the buildings of PCC may prove
to be an arduous task because of
the extensive use of cement and
steel in the construction of the
buildings.

rabs War in the Desert,” “The
Great Arab Conquests,” “The Em¬
pire of the Arabs,” and “The
Course of Empire.”
Dr. Krinsky earned a BA from
Brooklyn College in 1944, and MA
in 1946, and PhD from the Uni¬
versity of Pennsylvania in 1950.
He has taught at the Univer¬
sity of California, Syracuse Uni¬
versity, and USC. He has also
written books on Israel, democra¬
cy, defense problems, the Mid¬
dle East, and Algeria.
Since early civilizations, man
has had an interest in the con¬
stellations. Today, modern civili¬
zations have made astronomy a
science to pursue.
The trend is being continued by
a series of free public lectures on
astronomy, held in the PCC plan¬
etarium.
The first of the lectures was
presented last week on “Constell¬
ations of the Autumn Sky,” by
William W. Olsen, chairman of
the Math and Astronomy Depart¬
ment.
OLSEN projected several color
slides of ancient star charts that
have been in the family for sev¬
eral generations. Other slides, ta¬
ken by the Mt. Wilson and Palo-
mar Observatories, included an
astronaut’s view of the planets
Mars and Saturn as well as sev¬
eral planetary nebula, all in space
age color.
Olsen also showed the $17,000
Spitz A-3-P Projector, which gave
the audience a smogless view of
the constellations and their orbits
as seen from the Pasadena area.

ASB Endorses
AMS Carnival
The ASB board meeting opened
last week with usual ceremonies
and one very helpful addition:
microphones at each table.
The first order of business was
swearing in of the new Freshman
Class president. Janet Hooper,
elections commisioner, said there
were no faults or irregularities in
the election. S. Luke Curtis, dean
of Student activites, administered
the oath to Bob White, victor by
12 votes.
The board unanimously approv¬
ed the budget and refered to the
finance commissioner a request
by the Homecoming Committee
for $500 to carry out the planned
Roaring 20’s theme.
The committee has $168 left
from last year. The finance com¬
missioner will also consider giv¬
ing the Pep Commission $500 be¬
yond its original allotment of
$1000.
It was moved and seconded
that the benches placed in the
pits last year be replaced. The
motion was only approved after
the group defined the pits as the
areas on the Sierra Bonita side
of the main entrance to C build¬
ing.
AMS president Leslie Wells
asked unanimous endorsement by
the board of his group’s proposed
December 1-3 carnival. Bob Hen¬
ry suggested that the board wait
to move on this issue until the
administration has made a deci¬
sion.
Wells said the faculty had spe¬
cifically asked for a student body
endorsement. Henry asked about
arrangements for electricity, po¬
lice, care of grounds, and neigh¬
boring families’ opinions. Wells
assisted by Terry Smith explained
that the West Coast Shows, which
were providing the booths, would
provide all necessary facilities.
A poll was conducted of 21
neighboring homes: three were
empty; 18 were favorable, expect¬
ing no more disturbance than
a football game.
