W-tiAX YUU’LL SEE SATURDAY . . . will probably come pretty close to what this Lancer artist visualized for the PCC bus caravan to Ventura for the football game with the Pirates. The Lancer pep commission has rented a caravan of buses complete with all modern conven¬ iences to make the trip to the Pirate’s domain a pleasant one for all who plan to go, and climaxing the trip will be the great football game. All PCC students who have not yet purchased tickets for the buses are urged to do so soon. Also, white shirts for the rooting section are the order of the day, according to Pep Commissioner Stu Rubin, who wants Pasadena Pep at the game to be the greatest ever. Furnishing a contrast, last year’s caravan traveled to San Diego by train to watch the game between San Diego and Pasadena City College.

Pasadena Lancers Reserve Seats on Buses to Ventura Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Have you attended a football game this year? Back your team now by purchasing a ticket for the bus trip to Ventura for the game on Saturday, Oct. 18. The deadline for making reservations for the jaunt is this Friday. Tickets are now available in the Student Bank for $3 round trip. Buses will depart at exactly 5 o’clock Saturday evening from Hill and Colorado streets. Those people planning to make the excursion are advised to be prompt, as the buses will not be held for anyone. A similar trip was made last year by train to San Diego, and was considered a very enjoyable experience by approximately 300 fans. It is anticipated by the Pep Commission that this year’s ex¬ cursion will, be even more enter¬ taining than similar expeditions made in previous years. All rooters making the trip to Ventura, either by bus or by private transportation, are en¬ couraged to wear a white shirt. The Pep Commission hopes to have a very large block of white shirted rooters sitting in the stands above the 50 yard line. This is being done as a demonstration to the school and the football team that the stu¬ dent body is actively backing . the team. Student body books are not required for the pur¬ chase of tickets. Free refreshments will be served to all those making the excursion. Rooters are encour¬ aged to bring noisemakers of all types to the game. The Pep Commission, led by Stuart Rubin, is sponsoring the caravan of buses to carry the mi¬ gration of Lancer rooters to Ven¬ tura. • A special bus committee has been appointed and includes Wayne Gertmenian, assistant pep commissioner; Sue Atkinson, Chuck Ellis, and Dave and Mary Felton, in charge of publicity.

On the PCC Campus both of the international clubs were set up to further the actions for peace and to strengthen friendly ties between the United States and her neighbors. Popular Professor Appears at PCC Dr. Frank Baxter, professor of English at the University of Southern California, will be the guest speaker at the next general assembly on October 16. All ba¬ sic communication students are required to attend. This will be Dr. Baxter’s sec¬ ond appearance here at PCC. He presented a speech last year to the BC students. His topic for tomorrow’s presentation will be “Introduction to Reading.” Because of the limited seating capacity of the auditorium only BC students will be permitted to attend. Dr. Baxter is the star of the “Harvest” program on television and a three time Emmy award winner for the best educational program. He will explain these changes in terms of the continuing cold war. Drummond’s famous column “Washington,” which he start¬ ed in 1953 on the New York Herald Tribune, appears four times weekly in over 100 news¬ papers from coast to coast. It is regarded as one of the finest columns dealing with serious world politics. Drummond began his disting¬ uished career as a staff reporter for the Christian Science Moni¬ tor in 1924. From that time until 1953 when he moved over to the Herald Tribu.he, Drummond rose to become executive editor, chief editorial writer and European edi¬ torial manager. In one of his as¬ signments he made a journalistic tour of Asia as far eastern cor¬ respondent. The Bremerton (Wash.) Sun said, “In the Drummond reports as a far eastern correspondent for the Monitor, the toughest problems are tackled responsi¬ bly and with an ease of style that makes for quick, exciting reading — and important read - ing, directed at any one inter¬ ested in America and the fu¬ ture of the world.” “Relate yesterday’s facts to to¬ day’s events to produce tomor¬ row’s meaning,” is a statement made by Mr. Drummond that ex¬ presses his approach to reporting the news. As a leading European “scoop- ster,” Drummond wrote on the spot stories on Hitler’s rise to power, the decline of the League of Nations, and the story that Gen. Dwight Eisenhower would seek the Republican nomination in 1952.
