NO ILLUSION— Cosmetologists Lisa Merola and Erica Borders show
Martha Mercade how to appear slimmer with the application of make¬
up. With the aid of Fat Fighters workshop, students can learn
techniques designed to make them lose weight and look slimmer.
Slim Down, Shape Up
With 'Fighters of Fat'
Federal Funds Cut for
National Loan Program
Fat Fighters workshop, a noon
recreation class, will hear psychology
instruct George Brown speak next
Thursday in W208 on the psycological
aspects of weight control.
He will examine psychological at¬
titudes, specifically eating habits
associated with times of tension and
escape.
The objective of the workshop is to
“make girls look pretty” and to show
them how to slim down, according to
Chanel Le Monz, workshop director.
She said teachers and students
knowledgable in different fields of fat
fighting are being invited to speak at
the meetings.
Previous meetings have shown
women how they can make themselves
look better with makeup and, by
becoming acquainted with themselves,
determine why they are overweight.
They are also instructed in the pur¬
chase of diet foods.
Upcoming workshops will discuss
dressing to achieve a slimmer look,
diet pills and candies, slimming foods,
how to spend leisure time, hereditary
factors and their effect on weight gain,
self image and dangers of fat in the
body.

Due to our high rate of delinquent
loan accounts, there will be no federal
funds coming in at the beginning of
next fall to cover National Direct
Student Loans,” said Paul Swaim of
the Financial Aids Office.
Swaim said that a small amount of
last year’s allocation of federal funds
remain and that money will be
distributed in the fall as loans. “When
that money runs out, there will be no
more National Direct Student Loans,”
he added.
Aid Expenses
Originally, the long term loans were
awarded to students after their
financial aid forms had been

Two cardboard structures designed
and built by the Architecture 20B class
will be entered in Design Village 77, an
architectural contest at California

Thursday. The structures will be
entered in the disaster relief category.
According to Glen De Veer, ar¬

Forensics Team Clinches
Third in Debate Tourney
By Kathy Prohs
Opinion Editor
The PCC forensics team clinched
third place in the Cross Examination
Debate (CEDA) tournament held in
Reno. The team maintained the third-
place national ranking they held since
February.
While presenting the third-place
trophy to PCC, Jack Howe, executive
secretary of CEDA, pointed out that
this is the “highest a community
college has ever rated in the history of
CEDA debates.”
“Competition at the tournament was
fierce.” Forensic coach Joe Probst
called the tournament “an amazing
bloodbath. The top schools had their
teams wiped out. They knocked each
other off.”
Judges awarded team member Gina
lovine third place overall during the
I six rounds of debate. Miss lovine
competed against 100 other speakers
during the tournament held March 31
through April 2.
On the plane home, Miss lovine
discovered an error in the tournament
tally sheets. The judges had mistaken
a 34 for a 39. This five-point difference
dropped her to sixth place in the
| national CEDA rankings.
Coach Probst said it was only due to
Miss Iovine’s honesty and integrity
that the mistake was revealed. “There
was no way anyone else could have
ever found out that the error was made
[if she had kept quiet. She had the
records,” said coach Probst. Miss
lovine is returning the trophy.
Other members of the team went to
the National Community College
Speech Association championships in
Washington, D.C., April 7 to 12.
Mike Schultz won third place in the
extemporaneous category and an octa-
final bronze plaque in the Lincoln-
Douglas debate division.
The forensics team will participate
in the novice championships held the
last weekend in April at Rio Hondo
Community College.
designed to let disaster victims
maintain a sense of personal identity
through the distinctive design of the
shelter, instead of losing identity due
to regimented sameness of most
disaster dwellings, such as army tents.
Twenty-four architecture students
will load the disassembled structures
into a truck and travel to San Luis
Obispo.
On arrival, the students have eight
hours to erect the cardboard homes.
They must live in them until their
return to Pasadena on Sunday.
Five thousand square feet of single-
ply cardboard is being used for con¬
struction. The dwellings will stand
seven feet high with plastic windows.
They must be able to stand up to the
weather and must house 12 people
each.
According to Phil Davies, ar¬
chitecture instructor, last year there
were 55 mph gusts. Of all dwellings
designed by the architecture schools in
California, PCC’s dwelling was one of
the few to remain standing.
Other competition categories at
Design Village 77 will be artistic and
camping dwellings. PCC will not
compete in these.
thoroughly reviewed, for use in paying
for their rent, food, books and supplies.
The loans ranged from $200 to $2500.
Students were obligated to pay back
the loans either when they completed
or dropped out of school.
If, on the other hand, a student
transferred to a university, for in¬
stance, it was his obligation to notify
PCC, through use of a loan deferment
form signed by the registrar of the new
college. Many students forget to do this
and their account becomes delinquent.
This is the basis on which PCC was
denied an allocation from the federal
government for the 1977-78 school
year.
“I think some students misun¬
derstand the National Direct Student
Loan. They are under the impression
that it is a grant and they don’t have to
be repaid,” Swaim said.
Students Forget Loans
“When a student moves or goes to a
new campus, he often forgets to
change his address with us and
therefore his account becomes
delinquent. The changing of a
student’s address remains our biggest
problem.
“I don’t think most delinquent
students fail to repay loans on purpose.
After they transfer, they simply forget
they were loaned money while enrolled
here,” he added.
In an effort to correct the situation,
students with delinquent accounts will
receive no more financial aid until
they get their current account back up
to date, according to Swaim.
All National Direct Student Loans
billing is handled through the Ac¬
counting Department. According to
Jon Clute, assistant director of the
Accounting Department, as of
February 28, there were 1330
delinquent accounts of the National
Direct Student Loans outstanding.
“Manning’s was chosen because of
its large experience in junior college
cafeteria service and the good
references received from the student
body at Rio Hondo Community
College,” said Baldwin.
“Besides 10 years of service at Rio
Hondo Community College, Manning’s
provides food service at JPL, Long
Beach Community Hospital, Baker¬
sfield Memorial Hospital, California
Savings and Loan and Great Western
Savings and Loans, among others in
Southern California,” said Dick
Friedlande
, Manning’s regional director of
operations.
Friedlander said that the company
wants to offer better quality and prices
which is feasible because Manning’s
has its own warehouse. Manning’s
headquarters is located in Pasadena.
Sugar Shortcuts
Friedlander said the new prices are
based on prices at Rio Hondo and that
the use of sugar bowls instead of in¬
dividual bags will hold prices down. He
did say that wrong size filters caused
some problems with coffee service on
the first day they opened the cafeteria
on campus.
He also said that the catering trucks
will not be bound to Manning’s as they
were to Vencoa. The ASB fund will
directly receive seven and one-half per
cent of the trucks’ gross instead of the
usual five per cent.
The extra two and one-half per cent
will be used to replenish cafeteria
items, Baldwin said.
ASB Proposal
Baldwin is considering a proposal
that will withhold the five per cent
cafeteria income from the ASB fund
for a period of time if Manning’s
promises to remodel the cafeteria with
the funds.
Friedlander said that the company is
willing to improve the cafeteria ser¬
vice and cooperate with remodeling
the facilities.
“We like to hear what the students
want and try to do what is best for both
parts,” said Friedlander.
Consumer Courses Aid
Students in Budgeting
By Isaac Richard
Associate News Editor
Non-credit consumer courses for
budget-minded homemakers are being
offered at several Pasadena locations
by Occupational Education.
The objective of the classes is “to
teach adults how to be good con¬
sumers,” said Sandra Shishido, an
instructor at one of the course areas.
With the help of her translator, she
teaches her predominantly Spanish¬
speaking group many of the finer
details of being a homemaker.
“We do everything from discussing
income tax forms to improvising
practical utensils from things like
cans. Because many of my students
have problems with English, we work
on certain language techniques so they
can feel confident when buying
something and won’t get ripped off,”
she explained.
She emphasizes child nutrition and
other health oriented topics in her
class. Field' trips and guest speakers
also give her pupils greater access to
general consumer information and are
often used in the courses.
Classes are held at several
Pasadena locations. They Boys Club,
3230 E. Del Mar Ave, Course includes a
Spanish translator and is held on
Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
Villa Park Neighborhood Center, 363
E. Village St. Course includes a
Spanish translator and is held on
Tuesdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
Senior Residence Center, 819 N.
Wright Ave., near Orange Grove
Avenue and Lake Avenue. Course is
designed for senior citizens and is held
on Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
Lincoln Avenue Center, southwest
corner of Lincoln and Orange Grove
Avenue. Course is designed for senior
citizens and is held Thursdays from
9:30 a.m. to noon. 724 N. Marengo.
Course is oriented for the general
public and is held on Fridays from 9:30
a.m. to noon.
There is no special enrollment
procedure and courses are free.

Transportation Pices Jump
for Athletic Field Trips
The cost of transportation for field
trips and athletic trips will rise April 18
following a 10.4 per cent rise in prices
granted to Embree Buses Inc., by the
Board of Trustees.
The contract between PCC and
Embree Buses, the company which
has provided extra-curricular tran¬
sportation for the college since April
1975, includes a clause which permits
increases or decreases in the per trip
cost and per hour rate.
The clause also permits price
fluctuations on the per mile rate, based
on the U.S. Consumer Price Index for
Transportation in Los Angeles, which
mandated the increase.
The new rates, the second cost in¬
crease since the contract was signed,
will remain in effect until April 17, 1978
when the current contract expires.
In terms of money, the rise means
approximately a $20 increase for
PCC’s football team to travel to
Bakersfield in the 76 passenger parlor
bus. The cost increase is not expected
to limit either academic or athletic
field trips.
