Job Center
To place students in jobs re¬
lated to their field of study is the
goal of the Placement Center.
More on-campus jobs are avail¬
able than can be filled, according
to Fran McCreery, supervisor of
placement and distributive educa¬
tion.
Students who need to earn mon¬
ey to continue their education can
qualify for the College Work Study
Program (on-campus) jobs. Its
aims are to provide experience
in work in line with the student’s
field of study while enabling the
student to continue his education.
THOSE in the program work in
almost every department on cam¬
pus. How much a student works
and earns is determined by his
needs and the funds available.
During regular sessions the stu¬
dent must carry at least 12 units
and a GPA of at least 1.5.
In the past semester 160 stu¬
dents have been placed in the
work study program, which is
under the authority of the Eco¬
nomic Opportunities Act. They
are placed in suitable off-cam¬
pus, part-time work in their fields
when possible.
Students hoping to get summer
jobs should apply now. According
to the Placement Center, the job
market is flooded in the summer,
while with the exception of the
food industry, the labor market
is smaller.
IN THE past year 12,357 refer¬
rals were made by the Placement
Center for both terminating and
continuing students. Of these, 65
per cent have been placed.
According to McCreery, em¬
ployers respect the referrals from
the center and are very happy
with those who have been refer¬
red to them.
There are three counselors at
Placement Center to advise ap¬
plicants and screen them. The job
hunter chooses from job descrip¬
tions posted. He is then interview¬
ed by one of the counselors, and
if he is right for the job, is re¬
ferred to the prospective employ¬
er.
RECEIVES AWARD — Linda Hollenbach, freshman at PCC, was
selected by the Red Cross to be one of 49 students from across
the nation to participate in the Red Cross Friendship Central
America project.

Courier Reporter
Spends Day in Court
What’s a Courier reporter doing
here?
That may have been the
thoughts of an unknowing council¬
man at a recent Pasadena City
Council meeting when a member
of the Courier staff accompanied
Dirk Werkman of the Pasadena
Star-News, and Jack Birkinshaw
of the Los Angeles Times, repre¬
senting the press.
Bryan Cuthill, a journalism ma¬
jor, was not taking notes with the
reporters, however; he was taking
notes on the other press members.
The Courier staffer was doing
a research project on how a pro
covers his beat for his Journalism
4 class (Reporting), and also hop¬
ing to to pick up some helpful
hints for use on the Courier.
CUTHILL, got the OK from
Star News managing editor, Ar¬
nold Huss to accompany staff re¬
porter Werkman. He met Werk¬
man and Birkinshaw outside the
council chambers at City Hall just
before the start of the council’s
afternoon session.
Werkman introduced the Cour¬
ier reporter to members of the
council, and gave him a brief
tour of city offices. Werkman has
been covering the city hall beat
for some time and has to know
his way around the offices of City
Hall since they are his prime
sources of information.
As the session began, the re¬
porter explained to Cuthill that
he had received the agenda for
that session the Friday before,
and he then had the weekend to
do any research required to cover
the session with understanding.
WERKMAN explained many of
the technical procedures and dif¬
ficulties that were being encoun¬
tered by the councilmen as they
proceeded with the afternoon ses¬
sion.
The Courier reporter watched
Werkman jot down notes and
quotes of the action of the coun¬
cil. Notes on such things as Jack
Kent Cooke’s soccer team coming
to the Rose Bowl, and a Civic
Auditorium complex were jotted
down in one or two words on a
separate sheet of paper.
WHEN the session ended and
the reporters had spoken to the
city clerk to get questions cleared
up, Werkman and Birkinshaw

PCC Student Will
Instruct Overseus
By Bryan Cuthill
Teaching water safety at 5
o’clock in the morning, and giving
first aid instruction in Spanish
will be freshman Linda Hollen-
bach’s main concern this summer,
since she will be participating in
the Red Cross’ Friendship Central
America project,
Miss Hollenbach was notified
recently that she had been select¬
ed by the Red Cross to be one of
49 students from across the na¬
tion to participate in the project
that runs from June 25 until Aug¬
ust 15 in Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico,
and Mexico.
AT THE urgings of her Spanish
teachers, Mrs. Virginia McCready
and Mrs. Phyllis Nelson, Miss Hol-
1 nbach, who has had three years
of Spanish in high school and a se¬
mester of Spanish here, applied
for the program last January.
After local interviews Miss Hol¬
lenbach went to San Francisco,
and spent March 5, 6, and 7 being
throughly interviewed for the pro¬
gram. One of the interviews was
conducted entirely in Spanish.
Working with 48 other college
students, Miss Hollenbach will
serve as part of a two-woman
team, giving instructions in
water safety and first aid to the
underprivileged.
MISS HOLLENBACH, a recrea¬
tion major, who hopes to transfer
to Cal State Long Beach, works
as a playground director for the
Arcadia Parks Department, and
has credentials in water safety in¬
structing, first aid, and senior life¬
saving.
This will be the first time the
PCC co-ed has been out of the
country, and she explained that
she will be instructing water safe¬
ty at 5 a.m. because the heat is so
high in Central American coun¬
tries during the summer.
The 49 students will first assem¬
ble in Miami on June 25, and on
June 28 they wil be sent from
Nicaragua to their assigned coun¬
tries, where they will live with
Spanish speaking families. There
is a possibility that many of these
homes will lack electricity or
water, and possibly both.
A FORERUNNER of the pro¬
ject was Friendship Mexico, a pro¬
gram in the summer of 1966 that
included 22 students. It was so
successful that other Latin Ameri¬
can countries wanted to partici¬
pate.
In 1967, 24 students spent their
summer in Costa Rica, El Salva¬
dor, Nicaragua, and Panama.
Again success was the result.
Thus, the project was extended to
cover six countries that will be in¬
volved this summer and the num¬
ber students participating more
than doubled.
The six weeks each of these
volunteers spend are given with¬
out pay. The only reward is the
satisfaction of helping others and
bringing two cultures together.

Casting a total of 705 votes in
a four-hour period last Wednes¬
day, PCC students voiced their
opinions for United States Presi¬
dent in the Young Republicans’
mock presidential balloting.
The balloting, open to all PCC
students, gave both former Vice-
President Richard Nixon and Sen.
Robert Kennedy substantial vic¬
tories in their parties.
The Independents, though,
seemed to favor Sen. Eugene Mc¬
Carthy by a decisive margin.

“no” votes.
