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.

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.

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.
