Loss Aid
Due to the large number of
textbooks and other property that
has been reported missing, the
following suggestions have been
made:
1. Write your name in ink on
the cover of each of your books,
or in a conspicuous place on other
property.
2. Also mark each text or per¬
sonal property with another iden¬
tification mark so that you can
establish ownership of the item in
the event that the name is eradi¬
cated.
3. Do not leave your books or
other property where they might
be stolen, i.e. the coffee shop, in
corridors, on the prairie, in the
library, etc.
4. Lock all lockers securely and
do not loan the key or divulge the
combination to anyone.
5. As many articles are stolen
from parked cars, be sure that
your vehicle is locked and all ar¬
ticles within are down out of
sight.
Since many articles which are
lost eventually turn up in the
Lost and Found, check with that
office periodically. The Pasadena
City College Lost and Found is
located in the V Building.
Stealing of textbooks and per¬
sonal property is a problem which
has plagued many junior colleges
this semester.
Business Course
Remains Open for
Secretarial Majors
Secretarial administration, a
block secretarial program at PCC,
is still open for new enrollees,
according to George C. Juett,
chairman of the Department of
Business.
Carfying 14 units of credit each
semester, the class meets from
8-12 a.m. Taught during the
year are Gregg shorthand, typ¬
ing, accounting, business English,
secretarial practice, and person¬
al development.
Top activity of the group at
the end of school is job place¬
ment. If a position is obtained
by the middle of May, the stu¬
dent may go to work and get full
credit for the course.
As well as teaching new skills,
the course may be used as a
brush up review.
Instructor in charge of the sec¬
retarial administration course is
Mrs. Marjorie K. Flynn. For fur¬
ther information contact the
counselor’s office.

dates for AWS
president are
Kay Pascoe and

Joni Mulder.

maries was that for ASB repre¬

dates vying for the six positions.
Entering the final elections were
Jim Galbraith, Toy Blixt, Carol
Miller, Carol Macintosh, Dave
Evans, Chuck Robinson, Ron

Primary elections settled the
contests in two cases, with can¬
didates running unopposed in two
more.

Lancers found their names on the
ballot instead of the expected
