Tie Tabulated
by Computer
Over 1200 votes were cast in a
surprisingly good turnout for the
selection of a Homecoming Queen.
An even bigger surprise was the
result: a tie.
Co-winners were Sue Wallis and
Ruth Kindred. Miss Wallis, Lan¬
cer coed from Sierra Madre, and
Miss Kindred, who hails from
Temple City, were crowned at
halftime of Friday evening’s game
between Pasadena and Pierce by
alumnus Jackie Robinson.
In charge of determining the
identity of the winner were Elec¬
tions Commissioner Lee Rosen
and members of the Computer Sci¬
ences Department who tabulated
the ballots. The startling outcome
prompted a retabulation of the
votes — with the same totals again
being reached.
A second crown was located to
make the selections official.
SCTA Offering
Advice to Tyros
Lancers interested in teaching
may join an organization of stu¬
dents who possess the same goals,
the Student California Teachers
Association.
Questions relating to the who,
what, and why of teaching are
answered, discussed, and studied.
The SCTA was set up for the pur¬
pose of helping those who are in¬
terested in and have a key aware¬
ness of the profession of teaching.
The SCTA is a professional or¬
ganization, affiliated directly with
the California Teachers Associa¬
tion. Student members receive the
same profesisonal journals and
newspapers as do teachers belong¬
ing to the
СТА.
PCC Clubs Set
Food Collection
The Adelphians will coordinate
a drive for canned food contribu¬
tions from the home of member
Barbara Long in the Hastings
Ranch area this Friday night.
They will be assisted by members
of Circle
К
and Junior Executives.
Workers will go from door to
door in the area using Miss Long’s
home as a base of operations.
They will take their collected food
to a Pasadena area fire station
from which it will be distributed
on Thanksgiving by firemen and
welfare workers to needy fami¬
lies in this area.
Anyone who does not live in the
Hastings Ranch who wishes to
contribute canned food should con¬
tact a member of the Adelphians.

Ruth Kindred, left, and Sue Wallis. Jackie Robinson looks on after
affixing the two crowns.
Vince Guaraldi, Trio
Bring Jazz Sounds
An exemplar of one of the most
unusual musical phenomena of
all time will swing his way into
Sexson Auditorium at noon to¬
morrow.
Vince Guaraldi, his trio, and
Bolo Sete, will perform at the
ASB assembly. Guaraldi is an ex¬
ponent of a new sound in music
which might best be described as
religious jazz. The refinement of
the new movement relates the hip
sounds with chants, choruses, an¬
thems, prayer songs, and congre¬
gational hymns. The results
Computer Science
Council Formed
The new Computer Sciences
Council held its organizational
meeting yesterday. President Lee
Rosen said that the purpose of the
council will be to give service to
the college.
Secretary Carol Thrun will edit
the “Computer Center I/O” which
will publicize monthly events at
the center.
Members of the council will be
able to use the computers during
noon hours. Anyone interested in
joining the group should see Ro¬
sen or contact the Computer Cen¬
ter at 1539 E. Walnut.
Accreditation Team Hails
Programs at Pasadena
“Consumer satisfaction” is what
impressed Kenneth A. Wood most
about PCC. Wood, from the State
Department of Education, was a
member of the Accreditations
Commission of the Western As¬
sociation of Schools and Colleges
that visited the Pasadena City
College campus last week.
Wood said that “students at
Pasadena are in an enviable po-

day afternoon for the Lancers’

will cost only $2.50 for ASB
card holders.
sition in that the district has pro¬
vided an excellent faculty.” He
was impressed with the “academic
atmosphere” on the campus.
“Considerable effort to provide
variety” accounts for the “satis¬
faction” noted by Wood. The ad¬
ministration must provide pro¬
grams for students from 23 high
schools in this area, students who
come from all over the nation and
also for foreign students. Wood
stated his belief that Pasadena
City College has met the chal¬
lenge more than adequately, es¬
pecially with the foreign students.
The nursing program at PCC
was described as “very fine” by
Martha O. Drage, director of nurs¬
ing at Long Beach City College.
Miss Drage said, “I think I got a
lucky assignment in coming here.”
HRC Planning Test
of Queen Selection
range from ballad-like or bossa
nova tunes to Guaraldi’s Latin
rhythm and “supper music.”
Guaraldi will be performing at
the piano while his trio provides
ample string accompaniment.
The musician is also known
well for his recording, “Cast Your
Fate to the Wind.” The record
was originally part of the flip
side of an album from the music
of the film “Black Orpheus”
which recorded on the Fantasy
record label.
A single of “Cast” was released
and it soon found its way to the
best seller chart. The recording
won a Grammy Award as “best
jazz instrumental” of 1962 from
the National Academy of Record¬
ing Arts and Sciences.
PCC’s Human Relations Com¬
mittee, in an attempt to test the
new Rose Queen selection proce¬
dure, will, sponsor at least four
girls in the upcoming competition.
Head of the group hoping to
place a member of a minority
race on the Rose Court is Lancer
coed Loretta Thompson. A delega¬
tion of Caucasian and Negro girls
will be chosen. The selection of
at least one of the four is the
HRC’s goal as proof of the Tour¬
nament of Roses Association’s
anti-discriminatory policies.
Registration of contestants, in
the now city-wide contest, is due
to begin Friday, Nov. 13.
One year ago protests by the
HRC and the Ad Hoc Committee
created a wide debate on the is¬
sue of discrimination in the final
selection of the queen and prin¬
cesses. Outcome of the furor was
a change in the selection process
removing the 11-year-old exclusive
selection from PCC coeds and
making the contest open to young
women from all colleges as well
as private, parochial, and public
high schools in Pasadena.
Discrimination charges were
based on the exclusion of minor-
Third Colloquium
Will Host Panel
The English Department will
host its third colloquium at noon,
Friday, in the Little Theater, 30C.
A student panel will answer the
question, “Can You Get an Edu¬
cation in College?’ Panelists are
Amy Davison, English major; Ed¬
ward Guerrero, psychology ma¬
jor; and Paul Michaels, sociology
major. Mrs. Norma Sullivan, pro¬
fessor of English, will act as mod¬
erator.
The panel will answer such
questions as: What is the mean¬
ing of education? What is good
teaching and a good teacher? Do
most students want an education?
The preliminary format indi¬
cates a broad-ranging discussion.
Each panelist will have five min¬
utes to answer the question. The
panelists will discuss the question
for 20 minutes. There will be 15
minutes devoted to questions and
comments from the floor.

Neuroses to be
Tuesday Topic
“American Neuroses, Causes,
and Cures,” will be the topic for
the Tuesday Evening Forum, No¬
vember 2 at 8 p.m. Dr. Murray
Banks, noted New York clinical
psychologist, is the speaker.
The program originally sched¬
uled with Henry S. Commager,
was cancelled because of an ill¬
ness in Commager’s family.
Dr. Banks has a wide reputation
for entertaining, as well as aca¬
demically sound programs. He
was formerly a professor of psy¬
chology at Long Island University
and at Pace College in New York
City, where he was head of the
Psychology Department for five
years.
He also taught at the University
of North Carolina, New York Uni¬
versity, Temple University, New
Jersey State Teachers College,
University of Pittsburgh, and
Brooklyn College. Dr. Banks is a
graduate of New York and Co¬
lumbia Universities, and did his
clinical psychopathology study at
Bellevue Hospital, New York City.
A marriage counselor, he has
written numerous books and ar¬
ticles on personality, marriage,
mental hygiene, and better living.
Deferment Advice
Given Students
With programming for the
spring semester beginning next
month, Glen E. Cline, dean of
student personnel services, re¬
leased the following information
on the procedures to be followed
by students required to register
with the Selective Service System:
It is the responsibility of the
student to request deferment
from his local board. As a part
of this request, he must verify
his enrollment. Such verification
is handled by submission of SSS
Form 109 by the college within
30 days after the start of the se¬
mester.
When the student has his ap¬
pointment with his counselor to
arrange his second semester pro¬
gram, he must obtain a card
which he completes and files with
his other programming materials.
The completed card is his official
request for the 109 form for the
second semester.
Failure to file the card results
in the college notifying the Selec¬
tive Service Board after the se¬
mester begins that the student
has terminated. Normally a cer¬
tification of a student’s enroll¬
ment remains in effect to the end
of the school year in June.
The only automatic action by
the college is notification of the
board when a student’s status
changes.
Play Scheduled
“The School for Wives,” PCC
Theater Arts Association pro¬
duction, will take the stage in
Sexson Auditorium on October
29 and 30. A comedy by Mo-
liere, the play is directed by
Donald Ewing. Members of the

McQuire, Randall Beal, Diane
Carras, Don Schultz, Tim Price,
Mike Wolf, and Louie Barrios.
Tickets, which are $1, are on
sale this week in the Speech
Department office; ASB card
holders will be admitted free.
Curtain time is 8 p.m.
