IRC Presents First Meeting The International Relations Club, a Model Security Council, will hold its first organizational meeting on October 4 in the ASB board room in the Campus Cen¬ ter. The purpose of the Model Se¬ curity Council is to simulate de¬ bate as it takes place in the United Nations Security Council. An annual International Relations Club project is to present the views of Security Council mem¬ bers on a vital issue that has been under discussion the previous year. This year’s program will present the issue of peace in Viet Nam. The co-chairmen of the IRC are David Laidig and Kathy Lamb. Miss Vezerian, organizer of the event, said, “We couldn’t be more pleased with the response to Club Day, both by the students and the participating clubs.” She added that with the large number and the great variety of clubs here, every student should be able to find an organization which ap¬ peals to his or her particular in¬ terests.

A “Ragtime Reception” will kick off the activities on Tuesday featuring Dixieland music by the Hi-liters. The Campus Center patio will begin to swing at 12 noon. Keeping in step with the music will be the Homecoming Court.

The afternoon featured the Highlanders climbing a building and the gymnastics squad giving a demonstration of their WSC championship form. 675SGQ Tim Morgon Serenades Students, Candidates By Stan Conger Not long ago, South Viet Nam turned out more than 80 per cent of all eligible voters in its national elections. Naturally it would be ridiculous of us to expect a similar turnout for the Freshman Class elections, to be held October 6 and 7. Since you won’t have to go through any mine fields on your way to the polls, as the Vietnam¬ ese did, and since the polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days, student leaders expect enough interest to be shown that there will be a good vote turnout. For several years any PCC elec¬ tion has been considered big if 200 to 300 students vote. Yet everyone continually complains about do-nothing government and the like. There are several things you can do to improve this situation. (1) You can buy a student body card, because you can’t vote with¬ out it. (2) You can go to the elec¬ tions assembly tomorrow at noon and hear a brief statement from the two candidates after which Tim Morgon will entertain you. (3) Information on the candidates will be posted in the Pep Commis¬ sion office (Campus Center), throughout the pre-election peri¬ od. (4) Finally, you will find in¬ formation distributed by the can¬ didates at various points around the campus as the voting date ROBERT DONAHUE . . . frosh candidate draws near. You may even be able to corner one of them person¬ ally after Thursday’s assembly. The results of the voting will be tabulated by IBM, which means you will receive an easy-to-use IBM ballot. For those who may become confused, there will be in¬ dividuals working at the polling stations who can help you. The voting booths will be placed at various strategic spots on campus (such as the Campus Center). Here are the candidates: (1) Robert Donahue is formerly of Crescenta Valley High School, where he was a member of the Letterman’s Club, a Senate and Red Cross Representative, and was his Explorer Post president. His interests include football, Car Pools Ease Traffic Those who are interested in al¬ leviating the travel burden of others, as well as themselves, should avail themselves of the Student Car Pool now being or¬ ganized. Procedure for “entering the ranks” is simple. A three-section metal cabinet in the Senate office holds the cards. Students are re¬ minded to put an area code in the upper right hand of the card. (Pasadena and the surrounding cities have been partitioned and numbered 1-9.) Ride seekers should fill out a white card, then rummage through the blue cards. The blue cards will be filled out by those looking for riders. Copy the nec¬ essary information. Students wishing to form a car pool should complete a special card, then look for other names in the same file in the same area. basketball, and baseball. As a phy¬ sical education major, he plans to transfer to Brigham Young. Platform: (1) He states his pur¬ pose in running as a desire to serve the freshman class rather than his ego. (2) He intends to develop more communication be¬ tween students and student lead¬ ers, although at present his ideas on how to do this are a bit slim. (3) He hopes to pool the resources of the freshman and sophomore classes so that the activities will increase in quality. (4) He will at¬ tempt the enormous task of pro¬ viding activities and programs to meet the needs of all the students. (2) Linda Pearce is next. She came here from Rosemead High School where she was member of her school’s House of Representa¬ tives, Judicial Board, Student Council, Pantheresses, Annual Business Staff (president two years), AFS treasurer, Tennis Club, school photographer, and class cabinet. At PCC she has joined the Pep Commission and • Continued on Page Four LINDA PEARCE . . . next freshman prexy? Rude Talks at English Colloquium For the first English depart¬ ment colloquium of the year, Ben Rude, assistatnt professor of Eng¬ lish, will speak on “Obscenity, an Objective View” on Friday, Sept. 30, at 10 a.m. in Harbeson Hall. He will explore the changes of reputation undergone by certain words in our language through¬ out the history of their use. Ac¬ cording to Rude, the prevalent view of obscenity and profanity results from the age-old supers¬ tition that there is magic in words, that the word is insepara¬ ble from its referent. In reality, Rude feels, there is no such thing as a “dirty word.” Mrs. Norma Sullivan is the chairman. An agenda for the fall semester has been compiled by Mrs. Sullivan. It will be as fol¬ lows: George Luber: “Ezra Pound: Man and Poet” — Friday, Oct. 28 at 11 a.m. Ronald Koertge: “The Function of Fiction” — Friday, Nov. 18 at 12 noon. Betty Kovacs: “Camus’ The Plague” — Friday, Dec. 9 at 1 p.m. Woodrow Ohlsen, Hugh Peter¬ sen and Norma Sullivan: “D. H. Lawrence: Preacher, Psychologist and Artist” — Friday, Jan. 6 at 2 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend the colloquiums. Teachers are welcome to bring classes. Pipes of Pan “Pipes of Pan,” PCC’s literary anthology, is soliciting manu¬ scripts for its 1967 publication. Original stories, poems and es¬ says are desired. Material may be placed in the Pipes of Pan box in the English office, 109C. For further information, see Ivan Jones in 129C.
