Meet To Focus
on Black Child
By Michael Joncich
News Editor
The Pan-African Student Alliance
will co-sponsor a one-day conference
Saturday, April 10. in conjunction with
the Pasadena Black Child Advocacy
Council.
Entitled “The Uniqueness of the
Black Child." the conference will
attract educators from throughout the
state- to participate in workshops,
exhibits and seminars.
Speakers, displays and workshops
will focus on the variety of issues and
topics concerning the Black child and
family in our pluralistic society.
According to Javis Johnson, PASA
adviser, the conference is designed to
explore the changing position of the
Black child in current society.
"The psychology of the child of the
past is not the psychology of the child
of the future," said Johnson. “The
conference will explore the prospects
of child development in our in¬
creasingly integrated society.”
PCC students are invited to par¬
ticipate in the conference. “Par¬
ticipation should benefit majors in
education, early childhood develop¬
ment and psychology majors," said
Johnson. "The more input w'e have in
the workshops, the better results we'll
receive."
Speech topics and exhibits will cover
such subjects as “The. Uniqueness of
the Black Child," "Building Positive
Self-Concepts," “Child Advocacy"
(Black Perspectives) and “The Black
Child Deserves More than Rhetoric.”
Other subjects to be discussed in¬
clude "The Legal Impact of Serrano
vs. the Board of Education,” “Institu¬
tional Racism in Education,"
“Educating the Black Child for Self-
Reliance." "Piaget and the Black
Child" and “ESAA and Title I Con¬
cerns."
Educators participating in the
conference include Asa Hillard, dean
of education, California State
University at San Francisco; Raye
Richardson, ethnic studies lecturer,
CSU San Francisco; Fred McClodden
and Art Sardoz, Institute for Child
Advocacy; and Barbara Northern-
Coulibaly, lecturer, Johnston College.
Other participants include Shirley
Thomas. CSU San Diego: Joyce
Robinson. Pasadena Unified Schools;
and Rosemary Smith, L.A. City
Schools.
The Pasadena Black Child Advocacy
Council is an affiliate of the chapter of
the Black. Child Development Institute
headquartered in Washington, D.C.
The institute is an independent
organization established in 1970 to
service Black children and their
families in the United States.
More information about the free
conference is available from the PASA
trailer on the west side of the Library.
All persons intending to participate in
the conference should register there in
order to receive an agenda and list of
speakers.

on Skills
Nineteen foreign dentists came to
PCC Monday to take a National Board
Dentistry Examination along with
graduating PCC dental hygienists and
students from L.A. City and Cerritos
colleges.
Joan Brandlin. director of PCC's
dental hygiene program, was the chief
proctor for the two exams ad¬
ministered in Sexson Auditorium, one
of several testing centers in California.
The foreign dentists must pass the
national exam before taking an
examination in the state where they
intend to practice.
They came from cduntries as far
away as Iraq, Poland, the Philippine
Islands, the Republic of China,
Ecuador. Russia. Egypt, India, Yugo¬
slavia, Mexico and the Hong Kong
protectorate of Great Britain.
PCC's para-dental areas are dental
assisting and dental laboratory tech¬
nology in addition to the dental hygiene
program to which 18 students are
admitted yearly, Mrs. Brandlin said.
The PCC dental clinic is open for
teeth cleaning at a cost of $2 for
students and $3 to the public. X-rays
will be taken upon prescription from a
dentist.
Appointments must be made in
advance, and the first openings are not
until May. according to Mrs. Brandlin.

Committee Redistricting Plan
Awaits T rustee Board Action
The Pasadena Area Community
College District Board of Trustees was
hoping to decide last night on an area
redistricting plan which would "even
out" by population the Pasadena
district.
The trustees have been working on
developing a plan for nearly a year on
their own and through the work of a
ASB Board
Posts Filled
The ASB Board last week approved
Martha Nickson as pep commissioner
for a year and nominated Kelvin
Evans as athletics commissioner for
the semester.
Evans received Student Senate
ratification Tuesday.
Handicap commissioner Jeff Eliel
requested that the board look into the
possibility of composing and selling
lecture notes to deaf students. The idea
was proposed to the board last
semester but no action was taken,
Eliel said.
Finance commissioner Camile Ward
was named to head a committee
composed of Ron Grant and Darrell
Speights to look into the matter.
Tim Mallory, a representative of the
Young Socialist Alliance (YSA), a
chartered club on campus, spoke to the
board concerning YSA's campaign for
permission to sell its literature and
newspapers on campus.
The YSA is currently awaiting a
decision on the matter by the Board of
Trustees.
According to Mallory, over 300
students have signed the "Free
Speech" petition that has been cir¬
culated around the campus.
blue ribbon committee and a hired con¬
sultant. However, the board became
aware of the need for redistricting in
June, 1974, when former superin¬
tendent-president Armen Sarafian told
the board of the need. As of last
Tuesday (the board's last meeting
before last night), the board had still
not reached a consensus.
One of the major stumbling blocks to
final approval of a plan appears to rest
on the fact that no matter what plan is
accepted, at least two of the trustees
will be placed within the' same district.
However, the board must adopt a plan
soon so it can be placed on the
November ballot for voter approval.
If two trustees are placed in the same
district, incumbencies would be pro¬
tected under a bill, now in the
California State Legislature, which
would allow double representation until
the conflicting trustees’ terms are
concluded. If that bill does not pass, the
trustees could still be protected if the
County Committee on School District
Organization draws up the plan. This
appears to be an alternative for the
trustees if they are unable to reach a
decision themselves.
A number of plans has been
presented to the board, some from its
own members. The blue ribbon com¬
mittee, comprised of Dr. Catherine
Robbins, former president of PCC; Dr.
Bruce Conklin, dean of institutional re¬
search; Dr. Robert Boyd, former
trustee; and Albert Landini, con¬
sultant, also presented a plan to the
board. But this plan was not accepted in
its original form either.
Still, the board may accept any one of
the plans or a compromise plan. One of
the plans which the board appeared
interested in at Tuesday's meeting was
one presented by trustee Robert Spare.
Spare's plan is to keep areas of
similar interest intact. His plan would
combine South Pasadena with San
PCC's Radio Station Honored;
KPCS Airs Academy Awards
ALL DRESSED UP— Tuxedo-attired Ken Davis broadcasts the news
from PCC radio station KPCS prior to the station crew’s live coverage
of the Academy Awards Monday night.
PCC radio station KPCS broadcast
live Monday night's Academy Awards
presentations and was the recipient of
a public service award made last week
by the American Red Cross.
The Red Cross award was made to
KPCS for its support of the various
campus blood drives and for the live
all-day coverage of the Red Cross open
house on March ll; and the
broadcast of the Aeaucmy Awards
was made from the Dorothy
(’handler Pavilion at the Music Center
in Los Angeles.
For the second consecutive year, the
station, "as part of the overall service
to the community." covered this event
and was the only public radio station to
do so. according to Larry Shirk,
program director.
The pre-awards broadcast consisted
of "Big Band" host Clay Campbell
playing past and present award¬
winning tunes in the big band style,
and a discussion of the acting awards
nominees and a history of former
Academy Awards presentations by
Anthony Georgilas, Communication
Department instructor.
Shirk said the KPCS coverage of the
Academy Awards was accomplished
as a service for people without access
to the television broadcasts such as the
visually handicapped and those oc¬
cupied by jobs but still v ithin range o'

Vista and Orange Grove areas of
Pasadena, Sierra Madre with eastern
Altadena and Arcadia north of the free¬
way. Arcadia south of the Foothill
Freeway, Temple City and Rosemead
and another grouping west Altadena
with west central Pasadena.
However, this plan also drew some
criticism from board members Charles
Briscoe, Walter Shatford and Richard
Green.
Deadlines Approach
for Faculty Vacancies
Elected
Kathryn Dabelow, assistant
professor in the Social Sciences
Department, has been elected
president of the Faculty Senate for
1966-67.
Beginning October 1, Mrs. Dabelow
will take over from the current presi¬
dent, Dr. Carol Kipps.
Alan Miller of the Physical Sciences
Department has been named vice-
president.
Mrs. Dabelow says her goals for the
coming year will include soliciting
more involvement from all school
departments.
The number of departments actively
engaged in Faculty Senate concerns
has decreased markedly, according to
Mrs. Dabelow. She would like to see
more participation in the Senate to
increase its effectiveness as a repre¬
sentative body.
The purpose of the Senate is to act as
a liaison between the faculty, the
administration and the Board of
Trustees.
The Faculty Senate consists of all
members of the college faculty. Rep¬
resentatives from each department
take part in meetings and comprise
committees to study and evaluate
faculty-related issues.
Mrs. Dabelow has been teaching
history at PCC for nine years, and is
now working on her doctorate in
Women’s History at the University of
California, Santa Barbara.
Deadlines are approaching for the
submission of applications for faculty
vacancies which will occur in the 1976-
77 school year, according to Mildred
Wardlow. dean of personnel services.
April 19 is the last day to apply for
the positions of temporary acting
psychologist to replace Dr. John J.
Risser while he is on sabbatical leave
for 10 months, and the permanent
chairmanships of three departments.
Replacements are being sought for
Richard Cassady, Art Department
chairman, who will return to teaching
responsibilities, and Dr. Delmas
Bugelli and Frank Hammond,
chairmen of the Business and Com¬
munication departments, respec¬
tively, who will retire in June.
Other positions which are still open
for the next full school year are those
of instructor in ceramics, design and
advertising design, English, men’s
physical education and biology,
physiology and anatomy.
An April 30 deadline has been set for
applications for a permanent dean of
occupational education, a position now
held on a temporary basis by Manuel
Perez, and for an instructor in ad¬
ministration of justice, a course of¬
fered by the Department of
Engineering and Technology.
Job descriptions for all of these
openings are displayed on the bulletin
board outside the Personnel Office,
C215, and applications may be ob¬
tained inside the office.
KATHRYN DABELOW
Area Tournament at Sexson:
Music Festival Provides Earful
By Patricia Ilill
Staff Writer
Music filled the air as three judges in
the balcony were writing their evalua¬
tions of the orchestra on stage.
The musicians awaiting their turn
sat attentively in the seats below and
watched the performance, though not
without an occasional glance to the
balcony overhead.
Junior and senior high school
students had come to Sexson
Auditorium to participate in the San
Gabriel Valley District Music Festival
hosted by PCC last week.
Being part of such an event is
valuable, according to Ron Hoar, who
is director of the Lancer Band as well
as director of the festival, “especially
for the junior high students.”
Hoar said that not only does it help
for the young musicians to be exposed
to the criticism of the judges, but it lets
them hear for themselves how well the
other schools are doing.
With 25 orchestras and bands from
f6 different schools taking part, the
ratings were either superior, ex¬
cellent, good, fair or poor. Two or more
“superiors" qualified a group for the
regional festival to be held at San
Diego State University. The results
were handed to them as they left.
Schools earning a “superior” were
South Pasadena Junior High School,
Alhambra High School, Arcadia’s
Foothill and First Avenue junior high
schools, Marshall Junior High School
and Arcadia High School.
Others included Santa Monica's
Lincoln Junior High School Concert
Band, the La Canada High School Wind
Ensemble, the Pasadena High School
Wind Ensemble and the Marshall
Junior High School String Orchestra.
A unanimous superior rating from
all the judges was received by South
Pasadena Junior High School, the
Lincoln Junior High School Concert
Band and the Arcadia High School
Band.
The judges were Dr. Clarence
Wiggins, music professor at Cal State
Fullerton; Dr. Clarence Sawhill,
retired band director from UCLA;*
Martin Handleman, a music instructor
from the San Bernardino City Schools ;
Ken Mack, coordinator of music and
band music at Barstow Junior College ;
Dr. Ken Fiske, a retired professor
from the University of Redlands; and
Ross Beckstead, a professor at UCLA.
