queen title.
The fact that never before have
there been more than 20 candi¬
dates in the PCC Frosh Queen

one of whom will be declared
1961 Freshman Queen Friday, are
Bonnie Barrett, Karen Crosby, Su¬
sie Elliot, Val Miller, and Joan
Zeman.

addresses Lancer freshmen
Lecturer John Anthony Brown, Jr., vice-president for
public affairs and finance at Occidental College, will be the
guest speaker at tomorrow’s general college assembly at 12
o’clock in Sexson Auditorium. Brown is an experienced edu¬
cator, political scientist, adminis- _
trator, broadcaster, lecturer, writ¬
er, business consultant, and civic
leader.
All basic communication stu¬
dents are required to attend the
assembly. Attendance will be tak¬
en by cards and freshmen will be
expected to take notes. Any other
interested Lancers are urged to
attend and sit in the balcony. The
assembly is being presented in
two parts, the first having been
held yesterday and the second
scheduled tomorrow.
ASB PRESIDENT Ed Sanders
will open the program with the
pledge of allegiance. The greet-
John Anthony Brown, Jr.
. . . Occidental orator
ing and introduction of adminis¬
trators will be given by Dr. Cath¬
erine Robbins. Dr. Robert Jen¬
kins will then introduce Brown.
Brown received an AB in his¬
tory and political science from
Temple University in 1943. While
at Temple he was president of
the student government, the de¬
bate society, and the history hon¬
or society.
IN 1945 HE received an MA in
international law and politics
from the University of Chicago.
He was president of the graduate
association at Chicago and also
held a full time job with Time
magazine’s editorial production
department.
He is the creator of the award¬
winning program, “Government
of Man,” heard on the East and
West Coasts over CBS radio. In
the weekly 25 minute broadcast,
Brown discusses human ideas and
experiences in government rang¬
ing from Thomas Jefferson to
Red China, from ancient Rome
to Cuba.
Brown has served as president
of the board of directors of the
International Institute of Phila¬
delphia, vice-president of the Citi¬
zens’ Committee on Immigration
and Naturalization, and vice-chair¬
man of the American Council for
Nationalities Service. He has con¬
tinued his work for the ACNS and
currently serves on the council’s
national board.
Sales pace drops
on activity books;
budget faces slash
Purchasing of ASB Books has
fallen behind the anticipated sales
pace for the opening weeks, ac¬
cording to College Bank officials
who are handling the transac¬
tions.
Thus far 1815 books have been
sold out of the 3400 necessary to
prevent a cutback in the ^SB
budget.
“We are looking forward to hit¬
ting a sales peak of 85 per cent
of the student body because of
the new insurance policy,” said
Holder. The medical insurance
policy covers the holder any time
on campus up to $1000 worth of
hospitalization. The medical care
may be taken any place the stu¬
dent desires.
ASB BOOK sales constitute half
of the budget, while the rest
comes from bookstore sales, finan¬
cial holdings, and student activi¬
ties. Because the ASB has upped
the budget considerably this year,
book-holders will again be assured
of a high quality yearbook plus
an improved program of activi¬
ties.
According to Mrs. Lois Ramey,
bank manager, students who are
unable to meet the full price of
the book may pay $4 down and
$1 a week until payment has been
made. These students should con¬
tact Claes Klang in the School
Bank.
HOLDER indicated that if the
required 3400 sales peak is not
reached some departments face
budget cuts. • He said the drama
and speech departments will have
tournament and debate funds re¬
duced, the fund for choir robes
and band uniforms will be cut,
and band excursions and compe-
tions limited.
ASB government and journal¬
ism activities may be affected by
the lack of ASB Book sales since
one-half of their budgets depend
upon book sales.
First music hour
features LA flutist
Roger Stevens, flutist for the
Los Angeles Philharmonic Or¬
chestra, will open up the first of
weekly musical sessions tomor¬
row at 11 a.m. in 102K.
All Lancer music enthusiasts
are invited to attend free of
charge the Thursday Music
Hours, which will feature con¬
certs by well-known artists in the
area and, once a month, a student
recital.
The Music Hour was initiated
two years ago as a workshop for
music majors, enabling them to
gain experience performing and
also in listening and evaluating
other students’ efforts.
Although this is still its pri¬
mary purpose, the sessions are
not limited to music majors..
Any student interested in per¬
forming on one of the student
programs this semester may con¬
tact the Music Department secre¬
tary in IK for information and
dates on scheduled audition times.
