He has lectured in universities in 14 nations. “Man: An Evolutionary Mis¬ take?” is the subject of Arthur Koestler, October 31. Koestler’s writings range from an early dis¬ illusionment with communism (“Darkness at Noon”), to science and psychology (“The Sleepwalk¬ ers”), and creativity (“The Art of Creation”). HIS LATEST novel (“Ghost in the Machine”) discusses his belief that evolution has built into the human species an inescapable tendency toward paranoia. Fran Williams Hall will bring his film “London: Hub of a Changing Empire” to the PCC stage November 7. He is a former head of the Pho¬ tography Department at Carleton College and Walt Disney photog¬ rapher. His film depicts the city of London as the center of social and economic changes which radiate to all parts of the Commonwealth. DR.

Work wraps up the semester January 23 with his film, “Russia: As Viewed by Med¬ ical Science.” The film presents a scientist’s view of what is hap¬ pening behind the Iron Curtain. Study programs are built around the wishes of those being tutored, the tutors’ instructional ideas, and statements from the students’ teachers about their educational needs. THOSE tutors already recruited and Mrs. Craggett offer their help all year. They would like stu¬ dents to seek help now, not the week before midterms. “It is not necessary to be satisfied as a C or D student,” Mrs. Craggett said, “D students have gotten B’s after working with the center.” All tutoring is on a one-to-one basis except the classes on study techniques and occasional semi¬ nars. Mrs. Craggett feels that this close involvement at a time when young people want to be dynamically active, enables the tutors to find that they can in¬ fluence and affect others and cause changes. TUTORING has always been a compulsory part of Radcliffe Col¬ lege and is now offered at Stan¬ ford. It is becoming part of the program of many major schools. The facility is used to benefit stu¬ dents; there is no stigma at¬ tached. Last year 174 tutors gave 2438 hours of service. Their names are on a scroll in the display window across from the Counseling Cen¬ ter in C Building. Mrs. Craggett would like to double the number this year because there are al¬ ways more students needing help than are tutors available. She es¬ pecially invites members of Alpha Sigma Gamma and other organ¬ izations to volunteer. The center tries to help each student learn as much as he can and make education a worthwhile effort for all. PCC Bookstore Hit in 10G Heist The Pasadena City College Bookstore was robbed of $10,000 last Thursday night by a nimble¬ fingered burglar.

The theft was discovered at 11 p.m. by janitor Troy J. Morgan. Police said they are convinced the safe was opened by a combination because there were no pry or scratch marks on it. Deferment An undergraduate college stu¬ dent must file a written request with his local board for defer¬ ment, according to a Selective Service System news release. In addition he must provide the board each year with evidence that he is continuing to pursue satisfactorily a full time course of instruction. Glen E. Cline, PCC’s dean of student personnel services, notes that the student has to pass “sat¬ isfactorily” at least 30 units a year (12 months) to be eligible for deferment. PCC will continue to report full time enrollment as it has in the past. A student who wishes to complete his academic year dur¬ ing the summer, or at mid-year, may need to ask for a special report, Cline said.
