AMS President Floyd Beatty an¬ nounced that the Supreme Council has decided that the office of athletic president is elective and not ap¬ pointive, a matter which has been the Child Care Unit Seeks Members The first meeting to organize a child care center on campus, held Tuesday, mainly revealed that more people would have to be informed about the issue. Approximately 10 people attending the meeting discussed different aspects of organizing a child care facility. Barbara Carroll, coordinator for the Child Care Action Committee, passed out cards to the mothers and fathers for information on the ages of their children and the hours they could volunteer to help. It was recognized that a definite need exists. The fact was brought up that mothers are interested in much more than a baby-sitting service. The child care center should be a stimulating environment with a variety of coor¬ dinated activities. When asked about the child care center as a potential training ground for teaching assistants, Child Develop¬ ment instructor Margaret Bennett emphasized the committee concerns. “That side of the story has already been presented,” she said. “Our purpose now is to expose the student need.” The possibility of utilizing the Douglas Youth Center as a child care facility was suggested by one of the attending mothers. This center is located on Los Robles and Walnut in Pasadena. Many mothers felt that attempting to find on-campus space would be more worthwhile, but the Douglas Youth Center will be con¬ sidered as an alternative. “This meeting is mainly to let people know what is happening.” Ms. Carroll stated. “It is gratifying to see in¬ terested people, but it’s evident that the word will have to be spread. This is . only the beginning.” The next Child Care Action Com¬ mittee meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 17 at noon in C309. Anyone who feels the need for a child care facility or wishes to offer any kind of help and support is urged to attend. subject of some controversy recent¬ ly- John Marshall, former ASB president and one of the candidates running for trustee for Pasadena City College April 17, asked the ASB Council for endorsement of his can¬ didacy. By 4-1-4 vote, he was endorsed. Other candidates for trus'tee for Area 1 are Dr. Richard Green, a scientist, and Fred L. Casmir, college professor. All three are candidates for a regular term as well as the unexpired term of Dr. Cecil Osoff, who recently resigned. Although Casmir had spoken before the Board previously on another matter, Marshall was the only can¬ didate given an opportunity to seek an endorsement. Dr. Green was not invited to speak. Of the Board action, Dr. Green said, “I cannot believe the ASB Board would endorse a candidate for trustee without first listening to all can¬ didates.” Voting for the endorsement of Marshall were Betty Lou Curtis, Paul Knoll, Gene Vasquez and Martha Hubner. Opposing endorsement was Floyd Beatty. Abstaining were Phyllis De Vine, Bob Elftman, Lee Heins and Mark Walther. courses, meaningful vocational education and college transfer cour¬ ses. Access to the college should not be limited and eroded by the charging of fees for tuition or charges disguised in other forms.” In Area 5, Charles F. Eckels is the new trustee. He has been a Board member since PCC became an in¬ dependent institution in 1966. Eckels, now retired, was a former staff member at PCC and “has first hand experTdhcF~with all phases of the school program.” He served one term as Board president during which time he “ac¬ tively participated in the preparation of a manual of written board policies.” Eckels advocates the “pay-as-you-go building policy; and an annual budget which reflects a stable tax levy well within legal limits.” The two contested seats are in Areas 1 and 7. Running from Area 1 will be Dr. Richard H. Green, a scientist; Dr. Fred L. Casmir, a college professor; and John Marshall, former ASB president. Board candidates for Area 7 will be Don Fisher, an administrator, and Robert J. Considine, an engineer.

New Classes Get Approval of CIC The Curriculum and Instruction Committee (CIC) held its second meeting of the semester on Tuesday, March 28. The agenda for the CIC meeting dealt specifically with the voting for the approval or disapproval of recommended course additions to the college curriculum.

Spanish IS and 28 for the Spanish Speaking, were deferred back to their department to be added to Spanish 1 and 2, as special sections still providing credit for Spanish 1 and 2. Education 100, Careers— “See Before Sign,” was deferred back to the Social Science Department for further consideration. Journalism 5 and 7 have been changed from 3 unit to 2 unit courses. The reason for this move is to provide the journalism major with the op¬ portunity to spend more time working in these production classes, so vital to the practical experience aspect, without compiling more than the six units accepted by the four year in¬ stitutions. Non-graded courses approved by the CIC were as follows: Supervisory Report Writing, Functional Living for Developmentally Handicapped Adults, Instructional Television Equipment and Production, and Self Defense for Women.
