Youth Day Planned
ASB Board Officers Trek
To San Diego Conference
ASB officials from Pasadena City College were among student
body officials from Southern California attending the annual stu¬
dent government conference held at San Diego last Friday. Numer¬
ous workshops were held and each one was attended by at least
one PCC representative.
Some of these workshops included finance, publications, student
organizations and awards, war emergency, athletics, and public
relations. The war emergency workshop was one of the newest
committees created.
Important topic of discussion was a state-wide system of service
points to be recorded on the individual student’s transcript. Compton
College brought up the biggest topic of the day: that of setting up
an association so that the most prominent California basketball
team might be sent to the national tournament. A good deal of
discussion was held on this point.
Purpose of the Southern California jaycee conference was to
decide on topics of discussion to be presented from this section at
the state convention on April 26, 27 and 28 at Long Beach City
College.
Youth Day of 1951, scheduled for Tuesday, April 10,
will offer the greatest variety of jobs ever opened to PCC
students. Positions available will range from city manager
to garbage collector. This semester the affair is being held
