In College Race at Mammoth Mountain
Five PCC students entering the Southern California Intercollegiate Championship
Meet at Mammoth Mountain became winners of the Van Degrift trophy for the season’s
best showing. Winners include Bob Allworth, Fred Flotho, Gordon Somers, Pat O’Brien
and Warren Kalk. This trophy is a perpetual one and has been held by the University of
Hank Weber, local ASB president, was elected head of the Southern California Junior
College Association for this semester at the recent student body conference of a state con¬
vention of jaycee representatives. Election of Weber to this particular post means that next
semester the regional conference of Southern California junior colleges will be held on the
local campus.
According to Weber, Pasadena
City College was the initiator of
state-wide jaycee meetings. The
system was conceived at the time
when Alex Goedhard was student
body president. With PCC as
next semester’s site for the con¬
ference, the semester affair will
return to the home of its origin¬
ator.
Long Beach Next
Gathering place for the recent
convention was Long Beach City
College. Various workshops on
school topics and problems were
discussed, including school spirit,
publications and public relations,
activities, athletics and war em¬
ergency problems.
Change Discussed
Students discussed the idea of
recommending a change of the
ROTC rating in regards to draft
deferment. At the present time,
an ROTC student of junior col¬
lege standing has a junior stand¬
ing which means that he is not
eligible for draft deferment. Reps
voted to recommend that the sys¬
tem be changed.
Pasadena City College was set
up as a future information cen¬
ter for television for jaycee con¬
ferences. Another responsibility
handled by PCC each year is
heading of finances. For some
time, City College has been offici¬
al treasurer for the meeting
while John Muir has been in
charge of secretarial work.
