on Exhibition
By Rich Brock

To Speak at
Cultural Hour
by Bob Daily
Discussions by 10 police officers
from seven Latin American coun¬
tries will be featured at the
Foreign Language Cultural Hour
next Tuesday in Harbeson Hall.
The format of the meeting will
have PCC teachers Raoul Fajardo
and Stephen Reyes, serving as
moderators, to introduce each
man. The speaker will then des¬
cribe his own personal feelings
about his country and its customs.
Members of the audience will
be encouraged to question the
speaker about any subject the
questioner thinks is pertinent.
There will be no restrictions or
limitations on topics that can be
brought up for discussion.
Since some of the police officers
from Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Eq-
uador, Colombia, Panama and
Guatemala do not speak fluent
English, Fajardo and Reyes will
serve as interpreters when
needed.
Panelists are currently enrolled
in a radio communications
course, conducted in Spanish at
PCC, under the sponsorship of the
Agency for International Develop¬
ment.
AID is an organization designed
to promote mutual appreciation
and understanding between na¬
tions. Another AID course offered
at PCC is telecommunications and
management conducted in Eng¬
lish and being taken by Europeans
and Asians.

Dr. Bugelli Discusses Work
of Curriculum Committee
Dr. Delmas Bugelli, at the recent Student Curriculum meeting,
discussed, among other things, various aspects of the new 1967-68
catalog.
Speaking to members of the student group, PCC’s administrative
dean for instruction discussed and compared PCC’s catalog and cur¬
riculum with those of other junior colleges in the state. He noted that
this year’s catalog is only six pages shorter than last years, despite
a great deal of editing. Wasted space could account for this, perhaps
because of the use of an excessive number of footnotes and constant
repetitions (i.e., “meets requirements for . . .”).
Who organized students to work on the catalog, a student asked.
Dr. Bugelli replied, “There is a regularly established committee made
up of students appointed within the departments, mainly by the de¬
partment chairmen.” These students come in and offer suggestions
and ideas for changes and improvements in the catalog. “It is a
service they render to the total student body.”
THESE MEETINGS are not closed to members of the committee
only. Other students may attend and new ideas are always welcome.
Goal of the committee, according to Dr. Bugelli, is the “improvement
of instruction.”
“We really believe what we say when we say this is a student
centered college,” he said.
In short, the committee has concerned itself with certain parts of
the catalog, and it is responsible as a committee for the new freshman
orientation program in lieu of basic communication, which has been
dropped this year.
THE ORIENTATION program will consist of a series of six
experiences having to do with pre-testing, pre-counseling, an address
by the president of the coellge, and an address by the dean of student
activities.
There will also be visits on campus, among other things. Although
this new program is described in the catalog as a course, it is non¬
credit.
“We welcome student suggestions for new courses,” said the dean.
Any student who feels he has something to offer the college in
improved ideas should go to the next Student Curriculum meeting,
and have his say. Or, just go to listen and observe what is happening.

Study Help
at Center
By Paul Taylor
Students making below “C”
grades at mid-term are the targets
of a special help program of the
Tutorial Center to help these stu¬
dents help themselves through ad¬
ditional effort.
Part of the program is a series
of group study sessions under the
tutelage of counselor trainees
from California State College at
Los Angeles. The sessions are
scheduled for Fridays between
9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
“We urge all interested students
to apply immediately in order to
take advantage of this opportuni¬
ty. All students who are not mak¬
ing their best efforts are encour¬
aged to participate,” said Mrs. Al¬
berta Craggett, chairman of the
center.
Mrs. Craggett also pointed out
the need for student tutors in
various areas. “We have students
coming in here for help, and un¬
fortunately we have no one to
tutor them. We especially need
tutors in physics, geology, physi¬
ology, and political science,” she
emphasized. There is also a need
for tutors from all other fields.
The requirements to be a tutor
are very broad. “A” and “B” stu¬
dents are, of course, preferred,
but anyone who is willing to help
and to become involved in other
people’s problems is urged to ap¬
ply-
“Because of the increase in stu¬
dents coming in for help after the
mid-term grades, we need more
tutors immediately,” Mrs. Crag¬
gett continued. “Remember when
you help someone you also bene¬
fit from the experience,” she con¬
cluded.
Besides helping students in spe¬
cific studies, the center also
teaches students how to study and
how to use proper study tech¬
niques. The program is designed
not to teach the student but to
teach him how to help himself.
Anyone interested in participat¬
ing in the program is advised to
go to 115R for further informa¬
tion. Students and faculty mem¬
bers are urged to support the cen¬
ter and recommend it to failing
students.
