Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California October 14, 1964 — Courier photo by Dick Ammon POLITICAL DEBATE — Tut Hayes, chairman of the Afro-Americans for Goldwater Association, exchanges words with a large group of PCC students last Thursday. Hayes debated with the Lancer students for over 30 minutes on the steps in front of C Building after speaking in Sexson Auditorium at a Young Republicans meet¬ ing. Afro-American Debates Students at YR Meeting Washington Writer Discusses '64 Election Social Science Teacher Earns Doctorate in History at USC Donald S. Proctor, social science professor, has received his PhD in history from the University of Southern California. His dissertation, “From Insurrection to Independence: The Conti¬ nental Congress and the Military Conduct of the Revolutionary War,” was a study of the committee system of the Continental Congress and its effect upon the operations of the Revolutionary War. His investigation revealed that the Congress has a major effect on the successful solutions of our military problems. Dr. Proctor received both his BA and MA degrees from Occidental College after spending throe years in the Navy. He began teaching in 1951 at Wilson Junior High, and moved to Pasadena High in 1954 when PCC and PHS both shared the same campus. He remained here when Pasadena High moved to its new campus in 1960. All prospective members should bring their ASB activity books and 25 cents dues to the meeting. The group will begin its work¬ shop master lessons on October 27 and will continue them each Tuesday. During these sessions, the students will have an oppor¬ tunity to increase their ability and knowledge in the dancing skills. Dances for the upcoming spring production scheduled for next April will also be composed during the lessons. Photographs of last year's per¬ formance will be displayed in the main hall of C building next month. The production number was a psychological study entitled “Search for Self.” Newsweek magazine's Wash¬ ington columnist, Kenneth G. Crawford, will discuss “The US National Elections” at next week’s Tuesday Evening Forum at 8 p.m. in Sexson Auditorium. Crawford will give a preview of the national election, analyzing the issues of the campaign and presenting a word portrait of the nominees. STARTING his career as a re¬ porter for the United Press, Craw¬ ford later became director of UP bureaus in Chicago, St. Paul, Indianapolis, Columbus, Mil¬ waukee, and St. Louis. He was then transferred to Washington as a White House correspondent for the New Yox-k Post and the Philadelphia Record. He joined Newsweek in 1943 as an associate editor and war cor¬ respondent. Shortly after the out¬ break of World War II, Crawford worked on assignments in North Africa, the Middle East, Italy, England and France until 1945. As a correspondent for News¬ week, he landed at “H-hour” on D-Day with the initial assault wave of the Fourth Infantry Division. He covered the V-l and V-2 attacks on England, the breakout from Normandy at St. the crowd who showed their dis¬ approval with jeers and boos. Hayes shunned most attempts at questions from the audience. The Afro-American Association chairman told the audience that he supports a “yes” vote on Prop¬ osition 14, the initiative which would repeal the Rumford Act. Hayes' reason for such a vote was that Negroes should stay with their own people and invest their money in building up the Negro society instead of moving out of the “hovels of the black commun¬ ity.” DURING one of the more heat¬ ed parts of the hour, Hayes ve¬ hemently shouted at a group of Negro students. “Barry Goldwat¬ er doesn’t offer the Negroes a sol¬ itary thing,” he said. “He says the same thing to us that he says to other lethargic, lazy Americans. He urges us to use private enter¬ prise and initiative to bring us up in the world.” He praised the accomplish¬ ments of the Japanese and Jewish communities, and added, “But the Negroes have set up nothing. They have not provided the things necessary to keep the society to¬ gether.” After the assembly adjourned, the disgruntled audience followed Hayes en masse to the steps in front of C building and then to the mirror pools where the crowd increased. For more than 30 min¬ utes, Hayes ai'gued with PCC stu¬ dents, one against several hun¬ dred. HAYES baited the crowd with his unpopular viewpoints and re¬ ceived many emotional responses from Negro students. “A Negro must contribute to all things," said one student, “not just to his race, but also to his family, his country, and himself.” Another Negro argued with Hayes’ state¬ ment that Negroes should not move out of the ghetto: “Every time a Negro ‘leaves’ his race, he does accomplish something; he breaks the stereotype.” Another Negro yelled at Hayes, “To be a citizen of the United States, you must accept the re¬ sponsibility and the benefits. The Negro has been accepting the re¬ sponsibilities, but hasn’t gotten the benefits.” The exchanges between Hayes and the students were at times quite heated. At one point, one Negro girl in the front of the crowd began to cry, yelling at Hayes, “I hate you, I hate you!” S. Luke Curtis, dean of student activities, who witnessed the af¬ fair, later commented, “That was when I was really worried about some outbreak of trouble.” But the only exchange that oc¬ curred was that of words. Hayes left the campus at 1:35, much to the displeasure of the crowd. The Orchesis also plans a study of “action photographs” next month in cooperation with the PCC photography classes. Additional information about Orchesis may be obtained from Mrs. Tingey or from the club’s officers, Bonnie Binkerd and Christine Miller. ORCHESIS CLUB — Members of Orchesis, Pasadena City College's creative dance organization, perform a routine in a recent prac¬ tice session. The club will hold a special meeting next Thursday to acquaint prospective members with the activities and purposes of the organization. Lo, and General Patton’s sweep to Paris. FOLLOWING the war, Craw¬ ford became assistant bureau chief for Newsweek in Washing¬ ton and subsequently was trans¬ ferred to New York in 1949 as a KENNETH G. CRAWFORD . . . Washington columnist national affairs editor. He re¬ turned to the Capitol in 1954 as manager of the Washington bur¬ eau. His Newsweek column, “Wash¬ ington,” has appeared weekly since May, 1961. Tut Hayes, chairman of the Afro-Americans for Goldwater Association, struck a sensitive nerve in the political minds of Pasadena City College students last week, touching off the most provoking campus political meet¬ ing in recent years. Hayes, who has brought his controversial views to several Southland colleges, spoke in Sex¬ son Auditorium last Thursday, sponsored by the PCC Young Re¬ publicans. His audience included about 200 students. He told the assembly that most of the prob¬ lems that Negroes face today are of their own doing. “The black community must do something for itself,” Hayes said. “We don’t need to blame anyone for our problems or ask anyone for any¬ thing.” “THE AFRO-Americans Associ¬ ation feels that the Negroes are equal,” Hayes continued. “We don’t need anybody’s handout. We have access to every tool and technique to bring ourselves up. It is not the white man’s respon¬ sibility to solve the Negroes' prob¬ lem; we have to do something about it ourselves.” Hayes’ speech was interrupted innumerable times by students in Campus Circle К Seeks Sweetheart The 32 members of Circle K, Pasadena City College’s honorary men’s service organization, will begin their search for the 1964-65 Circle К Sweetheart today. The girl whom the organization selects will reign over all Circle К functions and events.
