New Organization
Planned by Students
Plans for a new council spon¬
sored by the social science de¬
partment were initiated this week
according to Dr. Leo Facto, de¬
partment chairman.
Dr. Facto stated that the ideas
and plans for the organization of
the council were entirely student
proposed. The purpose of the
council will be to stimulate inter¬
est in school government and the
practical application of principles
of government as taught in the
social science department.
A sample constitution has been
submitted by the temporary
chairman of the council and plans
are under way for the final ad¬
option of the constitution. Stu¬
dents who attended the first meet¬
ing and instigated plans for de¬
velopment of the proposed organ¬
ization include Sam Prichard,
Mary McAfee, Roy Shaw, Jack
Lamp, Don Boyer and Grant Can-
field.

and Secretary Wilma Jones were
escorted through the school by
Jack Lamp, ASB president on
April 24.
The visitors were personally

tee and faculty on their tour.
Braun stated that he was deeply
impressed by the large school
buildings, beautiful campus and
commented on PCC’s neat ap¬
pearance.
“It is very encouraging as ASB
President of PCC to know that
our college is so well recognized.
It has been my desire this sem¬
ester to uphold these high stan¬
dards and create a better school
spirit that will be noticeable to
other school’s representatives,”
Lamp told the Chronicle.

Drawn-out Smoking
Trial Terminates in
Brisk Verbal Battle
Twice-tried Dick McConnell
was acquitted of a smoking
charge in Sam Prichards’ Super¬
ior Court last Wednesday night
after heavy verbal battle between
Leonard Nasatir and Roy Shaw,
who was assisted by Don Boyer.
Charged with illegally smok¬
ing, McConnell had been tried in
Judge Prichard’s court the pre¬
vious week, but the jury was un¬
able to reach a unanimous ver¬
dict and it was necessary to hold
another trial.
Mr. Nasatir, representing the
students, opened the case of the
prosecution, which was greatly
hampered by lack of witnesses.
The arresting officer, Dan Lim¬
ing was unable to be present.
Roy Shaw, counsel for the de¬
fense, with his colleague, Don
Boyer, countered the inadequa¬
cies of the prosecution by pre¬
senting a bevy of witnesses in
favor of the defendant. The de¬
fense was based on the premise
that the defendant, Mr. McCon¬
nell, was not actually smoking in
an illegal area, even though he
had a cigarette in his hand. Shaw
further brought out the fact that
the law was improperly publi¬
cized by the officials.

Job Called 'Useless' at
. Board Meeting; 'Do Not
Segregate GIs,' Is Cry
The ASB Cabinet and the Stu¬
dent Board voted to discard the
office of commissioner of veter¬
an’s affairs last week when the
newly established post was brand¬
ed as “superfluous and unneces¬
sary.”
Discussion of the duties of the
office arose when job analysis
sheets were being surveyed at
the Cabinet meeting, and Roger
Stewart, leading the opposition,
declared that “the job is super¬
fluous and should be abandoned.
There is no need for a cabinet
position to represent 15 to 20
students.” Stewart explained his
statement by saying that the vet¬
erans could not be segregated
from the rest of the student
body as a group.
Goes to Board
The proposal was approved by
a vote of the Student Board, at
last Thursday’s meeting, but the
post, filled at present by Tom
Powers, will not be abolished un¬
til the end of this semester. It
was pointed out by several vet¬
eran members of the cabinet that
“one man could not be expected
to look after the affairs of all the
veterans at school” and that
“most of the veterans could take
care of themselves.”
Veterans are mixed in as a
regular part of the student body,
Stewart explained, and most of
them are here “strictly for bus¬
iness.”
Sophomore Class Prexy

Dudley Kenworthy, Sophomore
Class prexy, will represent

world, representing many organ¬
izations, will meet at Oslo to dis¬
cuss the religious and social out¬
look affecting world problems to¬
day. The conference will be con¬
ducted in two languages, French
and English.
Marin JC Letter States
Legislation Underway;
Affects State Schools
Restrictive club footholds on
California junior college campus¬
es appeared somewhat shaky to¬
day as news of proposed legis¬
lation for their prohibition came
here via a letter from Paul J.
Vieregge, student body vice-pres¬
ident of Marin Junior College.
The bill, pending in the state
senate, number 1210, would ban
all clubs from junior college cam¬
puses, the letter said. Marin
Junior College is opposing the
bill which is being sponsored by
Sen. Gerald J. O’Hara, the letter
continued. “We hope you [PCCj
will investigate the bill and take
what action you deem necessary,”
it said.
Replies Sent
Speaking in behalf of the As¬
sociated Students, Roger Stew¬
art answered Vieregge’s letter
with a request for information
pertaining to the bill and a copy
of the bill itself. “I agree very
heartily with you,” Stewart said,
that if the aforementioned bill
becomes law, it will be detriment¬
al to campus life at all junior
colleges.” He pledged the sup¬
port of the school to help defeat
the bill.
Exact wording and contents of
the bill are not yet known, and
until they are, Stewart continued,
no campaign can be undertaken
to aid in the bill’s defeat. He also
sent a letter to State Assembly-
man A. I. Stewart asking for ad¬
ditional information about the
legislation.
