Political Literature Plaa Dies at Meetiug Vol. 21, No. 7 Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California October 28, 1964 Area Four Parley Defeats PCC Motion PCC’s delegation to the Califor¬ nia Junior College Student Gov¬ ernment Association, Area 4, was soundly defeated on its resolution to have the state law on campus political literature clarified. The wrangle over the resolution stalled the general assembly for more than half its allotted time. “It was a mess,” one ASB officer commented. “The chairman didn’t know parliamentary procedure and there was much hostility aroused in the fight to be recog¬ nized by the chair.” IDEALLY, Area 4 is a smooth¬ running affair. The purpose is for all the junior colleges in this Campaign Picture Recounts Election “The True Story of an Elec¬ tion,” a behind-the-scenes docu¬ mentary of an actual election campaign, will be screened today at 3 p.m. in 200C. Admission is free. Circle K, PCC’s honorary men’s service organization, is sponsoring the educational movie. It deals with the 1962 Congressional elec¬ tion between Richard T. Hanna and Robert A. Geier in the 34th district. It presents all of the elements involved in a political campaign — the people, the problems, the strategy, the procedure, the hard work, the tensions, and excite¬ ment, and the rewards. The time, energy, money, and personal sac¬ rifices contributed by the candi¬ dates, party workers, and volun¬ teers is also documented. The film has been endorsed by both the Democratic and Republi¬ can parties.

To do this several workshops are set up with dele¬ gates from each school. The resolution passed by the Pasadena City College ASB Board last week stated that “we oppose any regulation banning the distri¬ bution of literature beneficial to any candidate or issue so long as such distribution is carried on by recognized on-campus political clubs as defined in the Educa¬ tion Code (amendment to Section 8414).” THE principal objections to the measure were that it had been brought up many times in the past to no avail and that the state law actually did not ban political literature. The state law in fact only bans “propaganda” which can be interpreted many ways. The PCC delegation wanted the state law clarified. ASB President Mike Gallagher wanted to bring up this point, but there was a motion for the previous question which passed. Something of importance to PCC that did pass was a recom¬ mendation that “there be com¬ plete poltical freedom of the press on the editorial pages of the junior college newspapers.” This passed unanimously in a workshop. Pastorale,” will be presented next Monday in Sexson Auditorium at 3:15 and 7:30 p.m. Admission is free and the public is invited. The movie is being sponsored by the Foreign Language Depart¬ ment and the Foreign Language Council. “Symphonie Pastorale,” direct¬ ed and produced by Jean Delan- noy, is based on the Nobel prize winning novel by Andre Gide and stars Michele Morgan and Pierre Blanchar. The film is a moving story of faith and people told through the experiences of a pastor who be¬ friends a blind girl. Motivated by the purest feelings of compassion, he takes her into his home. As the wild foundling grows into an attractive, intelligent woman, the pastor’s kindly devotion turns to selfish love. The story illustrates Gide’s abiding philosophy that there is no intentional evil in life, yet any of us may unwittingly play an evil part. The film’s dialog is spoken in French with English subtitles. Pasadena Theatre Arts Presents 'Solid Gold Cadillac' in Sexson “The Solid Gold Cadillac,” the first major PCC Theater Arts production of the semester, will be presented Friday and Saturday in Sexson Auditorium at 8:15 p.m. Admission is free to ASB mem¬ bers and $1 to others.

Murphy is running against incumbent Senator Pierre Salinger in next Tuesday's national elections. tional system in an exclusive Cour¬ ier interview last week. Murphy pointed out that the federal funds used to support California schools are actually from California tax money. He said that from every dollar that is sent to Washington from Cali¬ fornia, only 60 cents of it returns here in the form of federal aid. He believes that we should keep California tax dollars for the con¬ trol of our schools in California. Murphy, who was urged to run for the United States Senate by Republicans, Democrats, and inde¬ pendents alike, stated that when elected, he would propose legisla¬ tion to give a family a tax credit for the money they invest in their children’s education. If a family could not afford to send a child to college, it could secure a loan from the state. He added that people would much rather do it themselves than have to depend on the federal government for a handout. When quizzed about the Viet¬ nam crisis, Murphy blasted the managed news policy of the John¬ son administration and charged that “the government has the ob¬ ligation to the free press to give it the entire story.” He added that “the strategy of the war in Vietnam and the de¬ pendability and modernization of the war weapons should be left up to experts, like Jimmy Doolittle, for example, instead of Washing¬ ton politicians like Secretary Mc- • Continued on Page Six and carefully reads every page of the annual reports.
