As Bicentennial College
HAUNTING HALLOWEEN — Tonight is when youngsters of many
PCC students will be visiting local neighborhoods to trick or treat.
The Pasadena Police Department recommends many safety precau¬
tions parents should take to protect their children. Parents or
responsible guardians should go along with the children. Trick or
treaters should only visit familiar neighborhoods during the early
hours. Preferably they should visit only homes where the children
know the occupants. They should accept only treats which are
sealed. If any parent does suspect any treat has been tampered with,
they are encouraged to call the police immediately and not let the
child eat it _

PCC has been officially designated
as a National Bicentennial College by
the American Revolution Bicentennial
Administration in Washington, D.C.
The designation allows the college to
display the national bicentennial
symbol— a white five-pointed star
surrounded by continuous red, white
and blue stripes which form a second
star — on stationery, signs, reports and
in other prominent places.
The designation was awarded to
PCC following application to the bicen¬
tennial administration by Dr. Bruce
Conklin, dean of institutional research,
and Sam Soghomonian, associate
professor of social science. The ap¬
plication, submitted last summer, out¬
lines the college’s plans to com¬
memorate the bicentennial and sup¬
ports the national themes, Heritage,
’76, Festival USA and Horizons ’76.
Convocation week, beginning
November 17, will cover the three
themes by the use of closed circuit
television. Invited speakers will
discuss such topics as: Freedom and
Youth, Freedom and Minorities, Free¬
dom and Women, Freedom and Self-
Expression, and Freedom and the
Economy. The Faculty Senate will

Austria and some of the historical
events that helped blend the nation into
today’s Europe.

masters degrees in journalism from
North Texas State University. He
spent some time at UCLA.

at NTSU, he returned to Southern

PCC clubs and organizations. These
floats can be constructed of almost
anything according to Homecoming

floats will be judged by alumni. There
are three categories for judging. They

featuring music from our American
heritage.
Three choral groups, the Chamber
Singers, Concert Choir and Pasadena
Chorale, will present selected music
by American composers.
The award is a “symbol of status,”
says Dr. Conklin. It involves no
monies, in the form of grants or the
like, but “puts PCC in a favorable light
within the community.”
this year in an attempt to locate in¬
dividuals who were either fellow
students or faculty members during
the period 1921 to 1925. David Gold¬
man, who heads the group, noted
during a committee meeting last
Friday that there has been a keen
effort to find those “missing” mem¬
bers of the class who might be in¬
terested in attending the reunion.
More than 200 of the graduates have
been located with the assistance of
news releases, telephone directories,
professional registers and through
friends. The most pressing problem
was trying to find local women who
have since married and lost their sur¬
names.
Little Theater, C130. “The Secret
Affairs of Mildred Wild” is scheduled
for a two-week run tonight, Saturday
and Sunday, Nov. 7, 8 and 9.
Curtain times for performances are
8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 5
p.m. on Sundays.
Instructor Duke Stroud directs the
cast through its zany paces.
Mara Bullard of Arcadia portrays
Mildred, a plump, frustrated, middle-
aged housewife who escapes the
boredom of everyday life by going to
movies, sometimes as many as five a
day. Her vivid dreams also help her
escape what seems a droll existence.
She has been described as a female

Roy Wild, Mildred’s husband, is the
perfect paradox, a diabetic who
owns— would you believe— a candy
store. Roy is played by David Hays.
Roy’s sister Helen, played by Debie
McFarland, is a dietician who knows
how Roy and Mildred should live and
tells them. She is a busybody.

She would like to steal Roy from
Mildred, or at least seduce him.
Mark Shaw portrays Carroll, the
butcher, a huge man who appears to
Mildred in dream sequences as Clark
Gable in “Gone With the Wind,” “King
Kong” and the “Invisible Man.”
Other roles include Miss Manley,
played by Ann Brunol; Sister Cecelia,
played by Deena Booth ; a construction
worker, played by Kevin Riley and Bill
Quinones, who protrays a
photographer.
This play is the PCC entry in the
annual College American Theater
Festivial sponsored by the Friends of
the Kennedy Center and the Smith¬
sonian Institution. It will cost
somewhere around $3200 for the
production and, if selected by the
judges, the entire cast will go to Las

Admission is $2 general and $1 for

meeting of the semester.
The insurance would provide for an
expanded campus health service,
including the introduction of a
physician on duty full time and in¬
creased medical testing facilities.
Currently, a nurse is on duty from 8
a.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through
Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays
and 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays. A doctor
is available from 8 to 10 a.m. every
weekday except Thursdays, or by
appointment on Wednesday evenings.
A fee would be levied on each student
at the time of registration to bear the
cost of the new services. “It’s im¬
portant to let students know we are
talking about $2 to $3 rather than $10 or
$15,” noted Bill Gibson, a counselor
who was among those attending.
Committee members agreed that
this would be the first mandatory fee
imposed upon PCC students.
Among the matters to be resolved
would be whether the overall student
body would favor such a service; what
would be a reasonable charge and
exactly what type of services would be
provided.
The committee overwhelmingly
agreed that such a service would be
feasible. But student support would
first be required before any further
action is taken. A massive publicity
campaign will be needed to enlighten
PCC students of its proposal.
A sub-committee organized during
the meeting “will work on polling
students,” said Francisca Neumann,
chairperson of the committee.
The committee meetings will be held
once a month between now and June,
and are attended by various members
of faculty and college services.
