become famous as an art center
stressing mainly creativity and
spirituality in their work. An ex¬

and in the Brooklyn Museum and
the Pennsylvania Academy of Art
in Philadelphia. Prizes have also
been claimed in various profes¬
sional shows.
This particular exhibit at PCC
will consist of 30 prints and will
run for a period of two weeks.
All PCC students and faculty
are invited to attend. For those
interested in seeing the exhibit a
limited number of free tickets
will be available in the Art Office.
This year the Art Department
of the college plans to have a
new major show every three
weeks with each show running
for a period of two weeks. This
'will leave a period of a week
between shows when the gallery
will be dark.

the general assembly tomorrow in Sexson Auditorium for mem¬
bers of the basic communications classes are Kenneth Fager,

progress brings together in one
place the achievements of the
whole county and represents to
the nation some of the major ad¬
vantages of Southern California
living.
The City of Pasadena also goes
to the Fair and holds there each
year a Pasadena Day. This year
Pasadena Day will be tomorrow^
September 20. Pasadena City

has been honored by a request
for editions to be passed out to
the public at the fair. Two thou¬
sand copies of today’s paper will
be taken to Pomona for distri¬
bution.
Pasadena City College students
will be glad to know that 1000
free tickets to the Fair have been
placed at their disposal. These
tickets are good for any day of
the entire period, excepting Sat¬
urdays and Sundays. They are
available now in the Student Ac¬
tivities Office, 111C. They will be
given out for a limited time only,

stampede of cowboys competing

ing Brahma bulls will continue
until the end of the Fair.
Saturday Fire Limits
PCC Cafeteria Service
Returning students and faculty were surprised last Mon¬
day morning to find the north end of the college Snack Bar
and the Coffee Shop boarded up. A fire, which started ap¬
proximately at 7:13 p.m. last Saturday night, had burnt that
part of the building.
The restaurant facilities of the
college handle approximately
2000 students and faculty a day
and serve breakfast and lunch.
Mrs, Merle English, head of the
cafeteria staff, said that they will
be able to accommodate nearly
the usual number in the interim
while rebuilding is going on, but
that cooperation is necessary.
A temporary Snack Bar was
opened Monday to the west of
the burned section. Half of the
Coffee Shop was left undamaged,
and that part will remain open.
Students will be able to use
the faculty dining room service
until 11 a.m., after which they
must use the student dining room.
The cause of the fire is as yet
undetermined at press time, but
is being investigated. Damage
has been tentatively estimated at
around $10>000.
Night Watchman Victor Wer-
don, who was on duty Saturday
night, was talking to a friend, a
retired police captain, when he
noticed that the building was on
fire. The former captain’s two-
way car radio was used to call the
Fire Department.
MEET ME IN POMONA, LOUIE . . . Meet us at the Los Angeles County Fair, September
14-30, say this group of PCC stalwarts who are apparently out of horses or short of gas for their
antiquated vehicle. Rollin Baugh and Forrest Brinkerhoff put their shoulders to the wheel as Shari
Rothe and Jean Budd wave, and Mary Chubbuck h :gs Porky Pig.
