ASB HIT BY FUND LACK
Low Book Sales to
PCC Chronicle Force Budget Cuts
Vol. 50, No. 2
Pasadena, California
Sept. 19, 1951
It’s Up To YOU!
How about YOU? Yes, YOU! Did you let your school down last
week? When the time came that YOU could take a direct hand In
helping your alma mater, did YOU, too, stand aside with a “Let
George do it” attitude, shirking an opportunity that is practically
a duty? Were YOU one of the 49 per cent — almost a majority — of
PCC students who refused to buy an ASB book last week?
Yes, 49 per cent of you refused to take a share in the expense
of maintaining City College in its high position among junior col¬
leges all over the nation. Of 3790 students who signed into school,
only 1900 — barely half — had the money for their ASB fees. The
rest of you had nothing but excuses.
Pasadena City College won’t run on excuses! It won’t run on an
ASB membership of half the students, while the other half sits
back and watches. Every one of YOU must support it, or every one
of you will see it collapse.
Take a look at the school on the other side of town. Muir
College has as many students registered as PCC has in its ASB
membership. Yet, out of 1900 Muirites, 1100 bought their ASB
books outright, while another 200 made part-payments on them, a
total of 74 per cent of the registration joining the Student Body.
Does a Mustang have something YOU don’t have?
With our present 51 per cent ASB membership, ALL student
body activities face a sharp curtailment. Unless YOU want to do
your part in keepiiig YOUK college in the lead, the ASB budget
for this year will be cut by at least 10 per cent — and EVERY student-
financed project of the college will be slowed down accordingly.
It’s up to YOU, the 49 per cent who didn’t want to join the As¬
sociated Student Body last week. YOU can have an ASB book
whenever you want it, just by walking out to the Student Bank and
ordering it. You can pay cash for it, or you can buy it on a regular
payment plan, or you can get a one-semester book for half price.
How about it? Shall we cut our budget? Shall we cut a nation¬
ally known yearbook in half? Shall we turn a world famous band
into a small-time orchestra? Shall we turn a national championship
forensics squad into an intra-mural debate club? It’s up to YOU.
NOW, HOW ABOUT IT?

An all-day excursion to the Los Angeles County Fair at
Pomona will be undertaken by students of the Art Depart¬
ment on Saturday, Sept. 29. Planned under the joint leader-
Kaplan, who will also withdraw ship of faculty heads and members of the three art clubs,
The action was taken at the
Board’s first meeting of the fall
semester, presided over last
Thursday in the Student Body
offices by ASB President Ron
Yielding.
At the same meeting, Nancy
Wickman was appointed Pup
Commissioner to replace Jerry
from the campus. The Board also
approved the temporary appoint¬
ment of Mike Schon to the hither¬
to vacant office of attorney gen¬
eral.
In a series of summer meet¬
ings, the Board made several
other Civil Service appointments.
Lani Revuelto was made commis¬
sioner of assemblies, Sherrill Ol¬
iver became clerk of the Board,
and' Louise Bowley was chosen
commissioner of health. Eleanor
Johnson became elections com¬
missioner, while Jim Bald and
Bob Powers were appointed com¬
missioner of law enforcement

spectively.
Other business of the Board’s

with Muir on Thanksgiving Day.

and Pup Commissioners on the
event were John Thie and Carol

AMS Lunch Honors
Sports Notables
Whipping up enthusiasm for
the varsity football squad’s con¬
test with Glendale, the Associat¬
ed Men Students will hold their
annual Red-White Luncheon on
October 5, climaxing a full day
of pep activities.
The traditional event will fea¬
ture as guests this year such
well known sports personalities
as Jim Hardy, sports telecaster
and former all-American back;
Mannie Pineda and Bill Sumner,
of the Pasadena Star-News and
Pasadena Independent, respec¬
tively; and members of the Los
Angeles Rams football team.
Topping the program at the
luncheon will be the choosing of
a campus coed as the AMS foot¬
ball Queen. Votes will be cast
on the basis of ten ballots al¬
lowed for each luncheon ticket
sold.
Other plans for the day include
the group will have a recreation¬
al-educational purpose for the
journey. Art exhibits at Pomona
have been an annual cause for
trips to the fair.
Still another facet to observe is
the fact that members of the
faculty as well as members of
the student body have exhibits
on display in both art and craft
sections. Leonard Edmundson
and Kenneth Nack both will dis¬
play art efforts while Mrs. Betty
Davenport Ford and Ed Traynor
will show articles in the craft
exhibit.
Future events are being plan¬
ned by art faculty members and
Zeta Gamma Phi, Art Council
and Art Service Organization.
Their spaghetti dinner (Bohem¬
ian style) for acquainting new
art majors with the department
was a huge success.
the wearing of Red and White by
all students, with those who fail
to do so being branded “Traitors”
by members of the AMS and
AWS Boards.
Current low sales of Associated Student Body books may
necessitate severe slashes in the 1951-52 budget, affecting all
branches of student body activities, according to Ron Yielding.
Allocations of all ASB divisions
would be hit by an over-all
budget cut of 10 per cent or more
which might be required to
counterbalance the deficiency in
Student Body fees payments.
The present budget was based on
an expected sale of 2500 ASB
books. At the end of registration
week last Friday, approximately
1900 of the $12.50 books had been
purchased.
Deductions in all allotments
from the ASB fund could be put
into effect by action of the Board
of representatives, as the budget
was given only tentative approv¬
al last year, with final action to
be reserved until Student Body
fees were collected this semester.
Should roll-backs become neces¬
sary, among the most strongly
affected activities would be pub¬
lication of the Campus. The year¬
book receives approximately $5
of every $12.50 ASB payment
collected, which has made pos¬
sible the yearly printing of a na¬
tionally famed college-level an¬
nual.
Also deeply hit by the possible
reductions would be both men’s
and women’s athletics. Intercol¬
legiate and intramural sports are
now allocated $4 from each Stu¬
dent Body dues payment. Should
a cut become necessary, many
non-profitable sports would be
curtailed.
Other ASB branches affected
by the threatened fund reduc¬
tions include the social affairs
commission and the assembly
commission, with present allow¬
ances of $2000 and $500 respec¬
tively. The cuts would also trim
present allotments to the Bulldog
Band, the forensics squads, dra¬
ma department and the ROTC
for travel and other expenses,
and would affect the allotments
of the various specialized ASB
commissions, and of the ^ four
class councils, which now receive
about $250 each.
In an effort to promote ASB
sales, the Board of Representa¬
tives has authorized a one-sem¬
ester book to sell for $6.25, which
for the fall semester will not in¬
clude the year book but will al¬
low free admittance to all eight
varsity home football games,
which cost non-Student Body
members $1 each and will be
good for regular ASB prices at
all other school activities. In the
spring semester the half-year
book will include receipt of the
Campus, and all other ASB
membership privileges.
girls will perform for the first
time before members of the stu¬
dent body. Cheerleader Jack
Stubbs will be assisted in yell
leading by Dick and Jo Owens.
Five song girls for the season
will include Vangie Brown wood,
Joanne Climes, Shirley Daniels,
Marcia Lytle and Dodi Gregus.
Students will be oriented as to
various procedures to be followed
at football games. Nine of this
year’s games in the Rose Bowl
will be televised. According to
Linden Leavitt, local radio in¬
structor, “Pasadena City College
will have more of its football
contests televised than any col¬
lege in the nation.”
Pep leaders are off to a fresh
start this semester with their
new uniforms. The new outfits
will be seen for the first time in
Friday’s assembly.
Collegians will be taught the
new yells on Friday for this sem¬
ester, along with the two tradi¬
tional ones: the Bulldog spellout
and the Pasadena spellout.
Members of the Bulldog Band
will perform and give students
a preview of Friday night’s ac¬
tivities in the Bowl. Rooters are
reminded that there is to be no
cheering after the “Alma Mater,”
which is sung after every game.
“Up Pasadena” and “Victory
Song” are two other songs sung
at every football contest.
Later in the semester a num¬
ber of pep rallies will be held,
according to the pep commission¬
er. Students are reminded that
red and white are the traditional
colors and that rooters wear
white shirts or blouses and root¬
ers caps.

Members of the ASB Board

ious advisers to different student
clubs and activities also partici¬
