The 1963-64 gallery program was busy with one-person shows by Lee Christensen, Robert Fries and Russell Baldwin, a Pop Art show "Snap!, Crackle! and Pop! with John Baldessari, Fred Cooper and Richard Allen Morris, a group show called "The Illustrator or Designer as a Painter," and the Second Annual Purchase Award Show. The juror was Willie Suzuki, from El Camino College, who selected works by Richard Shields, John Rogers and Norma McGee for purchase. There were 35 pieces in the show. The funds were provided by the Associated Student Body Organization.

In March of 1964, the art department and the AWS presented a program called "Something Will Happen-ing," a panel discussion about Pop Art and the Pop Art Show. John Baldessari, Richard Allen Morris, and Fred Cooper represented the artist point of view and various faculty and students represented the other views. The sometimes outrageous event was quite lively when student six foot nine inches Garnet Linzey parading around the crowded room with a bra on and a sign stating "I dreamed I went to a happening in my Maidenform Bra." Art instructor Dick Robinson wandered into the room, looking dazed and confused with his long hair combed in front of his eyes, reached for some notes in his brief case exclaiming "I tried to come up with something appropriate for notes on this subject," and pulled out a roll of toilet paper. He couldn't understand how artists could be so flexible changing from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art. Apparently, I was the moderator.
