Cinema Limited presents “The
Roof,” an Italian film directed by
Vittorio de Sica, Saturday at 8:15
p.m. in Sexson Auditorium.
Written by Cesare Zavattini,
“The Roof” tells of a young
couple who find it difficult liv¬
ing with their in-laws, so set out
to get a place of their own. Be¬
cause of their poverty and the
shortage of housing in Rome,
their adventure seems futile.
Directed by the man who did
“Shoeshine” and “Bicycle Thief,”
the movie shows what a young
row night at 7:45.
“The bureau interviews stu¬
dents applying for work and
takes calls from people in the
community who wish to hire help.
We then try to match students
up with the available job,” Mrs.
Chittenden said.
She said students are queried
on their work experience and
school preparation. “Experience
plays a very important part in
job placement,” she said, noting
that the most qualified student is
usually placed in the vacant po¬
sition.
Dean Chittenden stressed that
jobs are available not only to
current students and graduates,
but to anyone who has attended
PCC.
She said the bureau gets few
complaints about students placed
and that students rarely complain
about employers.
Practically all two-year voca¬
tional students are placed through
the bureau, she explained. Many
firms hold regular interviews of
these students on graduation.
The bureau will not be a party
to any kind of racial discrimina¬
tion in hiring, Mrs. Chittenden
said. The only exception to the
bureau’s policy of not noting race
on the employer’s request form
would occur if, for example, an
oriental restaurant sought orien¬
tal personnel in order to maintain
atmosphere.
couple can do when filled with
hope and belief in the future.
“Pictures like this . . . can
touch the heart with feelings that
are very universal and popular,”
stated one critic. Filmed in Italy
in 1956, “The Roof” has English
subtitles.
Playing with “The Roof” is
“The Tragic Pursuit of Perfec¬
tion.” The half-hour documentary
film deals with the work and life
of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Cinema Limited was created for
those who believe that motion pic¬
tures are not only entertainment
but also a form of art. Sponsored
by the Pasadena Art Museum,
Cinema Limited has a series of
six motion pictures on their list.
These films come from all parts
of the world.
Ralph Gerstle, explorer and cin¬
ematographer, will narrate his
film “Communist Satellites: Bul¬
garia and Hungary” October 30
at the Tuesday Evening Forum in
Sexson Auditorium at 8 p.m.
Gerstle, a winner of the Ameri¬
can Film Assembly award, was
given special freedom to travel in
Bulgaria and Hungary, document¬
ing in film aspects of the life and
culture of the people as they have
been influenced by communism.
Educated at the Pomfret School
and Brown University, Gerstle
served three years in the Mer¬
chant Marine and the Navy dur¬
ing World War II. With peace he
returned to New York City to
make his home.
Gerstle’s career has been dom¬
inated by traveling and the film¬
ing of documentary movies. He
and his wife spent a year in
Southeast Asia, Ceylon, India,
and Russia. They lived with the
Moro tribesmen in the Sulu
Islands, stayed in a prince’s pal¬
ace in Bali, descended to the re¬
mains of an ancient Buddhist
temple, and photographed the
coral reefs of Ceylon.
Working as cameraman, writer,
and film editor in the field of doc¬
umentary films for the past seven
years, Gerstle has produced sev-
Anti-Commumst
Proposal Debated
The controversial “Louis Fran¬
cis Amendment,” Proposition 24,
will be debated next Tuesday at
noon on the library lawn as the
first Debate Hour of the fall se¬
mester.
Sponsored by the Representa¬
tive Council, pro and con argu¬
ments will be presented by mem¬
bers of the debate team and then
debate will be opened to the audi¬
ence.
Ottis Pittman will discuss the
affirmative side of the argument
while Art Hewitt will take the
negative.
Proponents of the amendment
argue that the present set of laws
do not adequately protect the
state from subversion, while
those in objection call the amend¬
ment an infringement on individ¬
ual rights.
The debates are open to the en¬
tire student body and faculty, and
all are urged to participate, ac¬
cording to Dave Slater, Rep Coun¬
cil vice-president.
‘Inherit the Wind’
Nov. 2-3 in Sexson
Final preparations are being
made for the drama department’s
first major production of the
year, “Inherit the Wind,” to be
presented November 2 and 3 in
Sexson Auditorium.
Written by Jerome Lawrence
and Robert E. Lee, “Inherit the
Wind” is a stirring story based
on the famous Scopes trial in
925. First produced on Broadway
in 1955, it has since been made
into a movie.
“Inherit the Wind” contains a
cast of 50.
eral short movies independently.
One of these was “Carnival,”
which premiered at the Paris The¬
ater in New York. He also pro-

duced “Ellen in Windowland,”
which was awarded a Silver Reel
Award at the American Film As¬
sembly in 1957. This film was al¬
so exhibited at the American pa¬
vilion at the 1958 World’s Fair in
Brussels.
Gerstle is a member of the Ex¬
plorers’ Club, the New York Film
Council, the American Geographi¬
cal Society and the Asia Society.
which has been called “the voice
of our times.”
The quartet concentrates on
“blending the past, present, and
future, the comic and tragic, the
specific and the universal” into a
new vision of what they feel folk¬
singing should be.
THE WAYFARERS got their
start in 1960 when the four com¬
ponents met in Los Angeles
while looking for bookings. Wait¬
ing one day outside Hylton
Shane’s office, once affiliated
with the Doris Day-Martin Mel-
cher Enterprises, Shane himself
walked in and granted the quartet
an audition.
Shane was impressed by “the
quality of their voices, showman¬
ship, and imaginations.” He
signed them up and immediately
began seeking bookings for them.
Ron Miller, a young writer, was
called in to provide an original
approach to lyrics, and Shane did
their arrangements. The sum of
these efforts produced a unique
new sound which the four sang
with their individual styles.
TOM ADAMS, on bass, has the
aggressive wit of the Wayfarers.
He brings to the group a soft
tenor-baritone voice. 'He believes
that “You can’t just feel a song.
You have to live it.” Ray Blouin,
a “banjoist extraordinary,” brings
an individual kind of comedy to
The Wayfarers, and Dick Bailey
contributes a mellow baritone
voice. Sean Bonniwell contributes
a tenor tone.
The Wayfarers’ first single on
RCA was recorded this month.
Pertinent Issues
Examined by JC's
Political speakers on junior col¬
lege campuses, Proposition 24,
and fraternal issues were dis¬
cussed at the regional Southern
California Junior College Student
Government Conference recently.
Lancers attending were Barney
Whitesell, ASB president; Jeff
Hess, ASB vice-president; David
Slater, Rep Council VP; Larry
Topjon, publicity commissioner;
Bruce Allen, finance commission¬
er and treasurer for the CJCSGA;
Eric Johnson, sophomore presi¬
dent; and Steve Rada, freshman
president.
The purpose of the conference
was to make recommendations
that will be studied by the state
conference at Asilomar in Novem¬
ber. Those recommendations pass¬
ed are then studied by the associ¬
ation. The association may send
those resolutions worthy of fur¬
ther consideration to the legisla¬
tors in Sacramento for final de¬
cisions.
The delegates entered work¬
shops of their choice where they
made the resolutions that were
to be passed by the whole body.
All of the suggested resolutions
were passed.
Delegates passed resolutions
recommending the invitation of
political speakers to JC campus¬
es and improved traffic control
on campus. The conference voted
“unequivocally” against adoption
of Proposition 24, and asked that
the State Attorney General’s Of¬
fice hand down a more clear in¬
terpretation of the law governing
fraternal organizations on junior
college campuses.
