PCC-TV Initiates Expanded Service
By Cass Luke
Ceremonies to dedicate the ex¬
panded closed circuit television
system at PCC will be held Thursday.
Various activities are being planned
for the affair.
KNBC field reporter Jim Brown, a
PCC graduate, will be the master of
ceremonies. Brown is a former
graduate of PCC who now does
features and profiles on the motion
picture industry.
Ken Jones, an anchorman for KTTV,
will also participate in the dedication.
Other celebrities have been invited,
but their appearance is still tentative.
Dr. Harold Salisbury, chairman of
the Communication Department, will
open the function with a short talk,
followed by Eric Johnson, telcom
student, giving a two-minute speech on
the closed circuit system, known as
PCC-TV.
According to Howard Kutzly,
student program manager, “All
programming that day is special. Dr.
Bob Wright will be moderating a
discussion with Dr. Stanley Gun-
stream, vice president for instruction,
concerning television at PCC and the
future it has here.
“There will also be a closed circuit
camera on the R Building taping the
dedication ceremony, which will be
shown on various parts of the campus
for those who cannot be there in per¬
son. V
Gary Foster and the PCC Jazz
Ensemble will highlight the festivities.
Kutzly also explained that this is the
start of varied programming which
will feature shows like “Perspective,”
with a format similar to the “Today
Show.”
“Community Talkback,” another
show featuring guests such as
Pasadena Police Chief Robert
McGowan and Comedian Richard
Dawson, are also part of the coming
shows to be broadcast over the closed
circuit system. Another program,
dealing with low cost meals for
students, will be “The Loping
Frycook.” A takeoff on the “Galloping
Gourmet” series, it stars Barry
Clarke, a communication student.
An interview with Dean Ernest
Neumann about PCC will be the
subject on “Crossfire,” a show which
focuses on campus life.
The Pan African Affairs production
of “Spring Madness” will also light up
closed circuit TV screens throughout
the campus.
“Most students in television
production are career -minded, making
these productions an experience of
professional operations,” said Kutzly.
“We are just in the embryo stage as
far as production.”
After April 24, programming will
operate Monday through Thursday 8
a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Kutzly explained further that
after the productions enter advanced
stages, both faculty and students will
come to realize how informative and
entertaining closed circuit television
can be.
The dedication ceremonies will also
include students from the engineering
and production aspects of television
speaking on their particular work in
the media.

“We do not need new buildings, we
need to go where the people are,” Dr.
Marie Y. Martin, director of the
Community College Unit, United
States Office of Education, Depart¬
ment of Health, Education and Wel¬
fare said during an April 8 interview
here.
Discussing today’s community
college system, she said the schools
will best meet their purpose when they
adapt curriculums to the rise of new
life styles combining work and lifelong
education.
“The emphasis on learning rather
than teaching, which allows more time
for individual student needs, is an area
of real progress for the nation,” added
Dr. Martin. “Our colleges must be
community-based, taking a real
leadership role and reacting directly to
the needs of the people.
“We must involve all facets of the
community in the education process at
a time when they need and want it, not
just when we are ready to offer it.”
Dr. Martin was interviewed by Dr.
Stanley L. Gunstream, vice president
for instruction, in the studios of PCC-
TV. On her way to an educators
meeting in Seattle, she stopped in
Pasadena specifically for the taping
session. It will be aired on April 24
during dedication of the new college
television facilities.
The educator also had special words
of praise for PCC and its unique of¬
ferings. “Too often we have let obso¬
lescence creep.into our curriculums,”
she said, “but I am sure that will not
happen here.”
Dr. Martin, having previously
visited the campus, believes PCC is
among the nation’s top community
colleges and one of the most creative.
“I am tremendously impressed with
PCC,” she said, “and have used it as a
model when I speak in other states.”
In a positive word to the administra¬
tion and its advisory committees, Dr.
Martin said, “You are a part of the i
lifeblood for occupational and career
education in the United States.” She
sees the advisory committee as an
influential body, and added, “You are
to be commended.”
Since 1971, Dr. Martin has headed
the HEW office that assists in mat¬
ching federal monies with needs of the
1205 community colleges across the
nation. She travels a great deal,
helping individual schools to write
proposals asking for funding. She also
works with faculty to initiate new
approaches in teaching, ranging from
the classroom to involvements in
student recruiting.
A graduate of Cal Berkeley and the
University of Southern California, Dr.
Martin served a number of local
colleges in administrative positions
from 1940 until her appointment to the
federal post.
