A Pasadena woman needs sev¬
eral college-age students to help
entertain emotionally-dist u r b e d
children on halloween night.
Ethyl M. Alexander, who has
voluntarily helped homeless chil¬
dren since she was 13, some 30
years ago, is preparing a hallow¬
een party for 75 emotionally-dis¬
turbed children between the ages
of 7 and 12 years. The party will
take place at Los Angeles Juve¬
nile Hall.
THE HALLOWEEN theme will
be carried out by fairy tales with
participants wearing hats and
masks, according to Miss Alexan¬
der. A stage will be converted
into a forest, and foliage will cov¬
er the room to add realism. Nu¬
merous games are planned for the
children.
Eighteen students are needed,
although Miss Alexander can use
‘‘anyone willing to help.” The stu¬
dents will serve as hostesses, help
with games (three people will
help with each one), participate
in one of several scheduled skits,
or assist in constructing the

Inter-Club Council President
Joseph Korpsak will conduct a
meeting for all presidents of

props. Characters for the skits
are pixies, elves, and dancing
ghosts. The program requires
one person to be a witch, and act
as master of ceremonies.
INTERESTED students should
contact the Student Activities Of¬
fice or Miss Alexander, personal¬
ly, at SY. 3-5904. The coordinator
asks that students call “as soon
as possible,” since a meeting prior
to halloween is necessary for re¬
hearsal. “Everything must work
like clockwork,” she said.
The party will last only two
hours — between 6 and 8 p.m. — so
students can attend their own
parties afterward. Miss Alexander
can supply transportation for Lan¬
cers who don’t drive.
Miss Alexander will program a
Christmas party at the El Monte
branch of Juvenile Hall in De¬
cember.

cils,” Dean of Student Activities
S. Luke Curtis said.
Selection of the queen is deter¬
mined on a penny a vote basis.
The queen will be announced at
the annual Red and Gold Banquet,
October 31. The AMS-sponsored
banquet honors the football team.
All proceeds of the contest are
given to the AMS scholarship
fund.

New York as it is in California.
The tuition runs approximately

Dr. Robbins, now in the pro¬
cess of compiling her report,
stated that in her opinion the ju¬
nior college system of New York
is excellent.

Students Debate
During IRCs 3rd
Model UN Parley
The International Relations
Club hosted its third annual Mod¬
el United Nations Security Coun¬
cil yesterday.
Lancers representing 13 nations
presented views on the issue, “The
problem of Portuguese adminis¬
tered territories in Africa, with
emphasis on Angola.”
THE MODEL council was an
authentic representation of its
corresponding UN body. IRC pre¬
sented the program as part of the
activities at PCC commemorat¬
ing UN Week, according to ad¬
viser Dr. Harold A. Hansen.
The international atmosphere
of the event was highlighted by
ushers dressed in their native cos¬
tumes: Robert Jacobs of Liberia,
and Essien Moren of Nigeria.
KENNETH KELLER, Lancer
political science student and re¬
cent guest of the Portuguese gov¬
ernment in Angola, was also
present at the meeting. He will
head the PCC delegation at the
1964 Model UN meet in Spokane,
Wash.
PCC delegates will be respon¬
sible for upholding the Portu¬
guese position on international
questions. Portugal has been un¬
der increasingly heavy attack be¬
cause of her territorial policies.
Dr. Hansen believes that Keller’s
observations and experiences on
his recent trip will prove especial¬
ly valuable when the territorial
question is raised.
Students interested in joining
IRC should check with Dr. Han¬
sen in the social science office.
Young Democrats Elect
Officers, Get Members
An election of officers tomor¬
row at noon in 242C will culmin¬
ate the Young Democrats’ week-
long membership drive.
Interested Lancer students can
join, pay $1 dues for the year,
and participate in tomorrow’s
election.
“There are many opportunities
for leadership in our club,” ad¬
viser John H. Snyder said. “This
includes several committee lead¬
erships.”
Proposed activities for the se¬
mester include seminars, debates,
and a series of lectures on cur¬
rent events. A picnic is planned
for later this year.
The club has already started the
activity ball rolling. Last week
several members assisted the Citi¬
zens Committee for a Third High
School, punching doorbells and en¬
couraging citizens to vote.
