Choice '68 sample ballot offers PCC students a
wide range of candidates and asks students
opinions on three major campaign issues. Vot¬
ing, sponsored by Time, is today.
Eugene McCarthy and Robert Kennedy will
have their first battle of the ballots today as they
and other presidential prospects are voted on in
Choice ’68 the National Collegiate Presidential Pri¬
mary, on campus from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Choice ’68 is being conducted on campuses
across the United States by Time magazine. Over
five million students in various colleges will be
given a chance to show how they would vote on 13
presidential prospects and three vital issues.
Time feels that the results of the balloting on
IBM card ballots, will give them an insight into the
outcome of future elections, since a majority of
voters in the 1972 election will be under 30 years of
age.
Besides McCarthy and Kennedy getting their
first chance for a battle of the ballots, Richard Nix¬
on will get his first big opposition, with Ronald
Reagan, Nelson Rockefeller, and others appearing
on the ballot.
CHOICE ’68 has received both critical and fav¬
orable notices by both candidates and critics. The
major question seems to be, “Is the non-voting
college population of any value in the presidential
election?”
Skeptics of the primary say that since many of
the college students in the 1400 colleges taking
part in the primary will not be able to vote in Nov¬
ember, the results will not be significant.
Richard Nixon has also written off Choice ’68
along with all college support. Nixon feels that the
primary concept is liberally oriented and therefore
excludes him.
However, supporters of the primary feel that
McCarthy and Kennedy have already shown the
value of the college population. Young people have
run most of McCarthy’s campaign thus far, in the
New Hampshire and Wisconsin Primaries.
KENNEDY endorsed Choice ’68 when he noted
that “Recent events have shown that student opin¬
ion and student political action constitute a more
powerful force in American life than even the stu¬
dents themselves thought or hoped.” The Student
Senate found out about the nationwide primary in
the Senate meeting last week, is running the elect¬
ion to day.
According to Senate advances last week, stu¬
dents from the Social Sciences Department will be
on hand to keep the election running smoothly and
legally.
Besides the candidates’ questions of military
action in Vietnam, bombing in Vietnam, and the
“urban crisis,” are on the ballot with four possible
answers for the voter to choose from.

Chances for students to find out
what else is happening, and for
the public to find out what is
happening, are being offered the
general public and students as
PCC holds its annual Open House
Friday night from 7 to 10.
“Pasadena City College —
Total College” is the theme of
the open house. It is a big change,
since past themes have stressed
vocational opportunities at the
college.
Over 10,000 invitations have
been sent inviting people to see
the exhibits and demonstrations
by the various departments, in¬
cluding what the nursing depart¬
ment calls a “health-in,” “Ex¬
ploration in Space” presented by
Jet Propolsion Laboratory, and an
undersea exhibit presented by the
Naval Undersea Warfare Cen¬
ter.
Fire science will demonstrate
the operation of fire trucks and
equipment, in front of the li¬
brary. PCC will present outstand¬
ing athletes to the public in the
Men’s Physical Ed presentation.
Both the Spartans and Circle
К
will assist the open house pro¬
gram, which is being handled by
Herman Smith, director of com¬
munity services, and Dr. Leslie
Koltai, dean of institutional Re¬
search.
The open house is part of the
49th annual Public Schools Week,
which started Monday.
Dr. Koltai feels this is a chance
for the public to see where their
tax dollars are going. It also of¬
fers a chance for students to find
out what is offered in other de¬
partments of the college.
Dr. Koltai urges students to
have their parents and friends
come and get acquainted with the
campus, and what it has to offer.
Another added feature of this
year’s open house is that the ad¬
missions center and the counsel¬
ing center will be open for anyone
interested in enrolling.
Graduation
Site Selected
After much controversy and de¬
bate the students of Pasadena
City College have finally won out
in their fight for a graduation
site.
The Mirror Pool area has been
selected as the site for graduation
scheduled for June 14 at 6:30 p.m.
Students will be handling the gra¬
duation under the leadership of
John Ellett.
The selection of the Mirror Pool
area was a victory for the stu¬
dents who favored it over Sexson
Auditorium.
This is the first year PCC stu¬
dents will be graduating by them¬
selves. In past years PCC grad¬
uated in the Rose Bowl as part of
the Pasadena City School’s grad¬
uation program with Pasadena
and Muir.
The students of PCC felt that
the most representative site on
campus should be chosen for the
ceremonies, and they selected the
Mirror Pools.
Orders for caps and gowns
should be placed by April 28.
Guest tickets for the ceremonies
may be picked up at the College
Bank.
Petitions for being excused
from graduation must be filled
out by April 29. They may be
picked up from Mrs. Mary Lou
Maxson, Campus Center recept¬
ionist.
Annual Faraday Lecture
Set Tuesday in Sexson
The Forty-First Annual Fara¬
day Lecture featuring Dr. Irving
S. Bengelsdorf, research chemist
and science editor of the Los
Angeles Times, will be held Tues¬
day evening at 7 :45 in Sexson Aud¬
itorium.
Bengelsdorf ’s topic will be
“Spaceship Earth: People and
Problems.”
There will be a lecture notes
contest for area high school sci¬
ence students during the lecture.
Those interested in participating
in the contest are asked to be
seated by 7:15 for instructions.
SarafiaiTs Free Lunch
Kicks Off Scholarship
A Martin Luther King Memor¬
ial fund at Pasadena City College
has sprung out of the late Dr.
King’s slaying two weeks ago.
Black militants threatened a
food riot in the PCC cafeteria
the Friday after King’s death. Dr.
Armen Sarafian, PCC President,
averted the riot by picking up the
tab for 200 lunches.
Dr. Sarafian’s gesture touched
the Negroes at PCC and the idea
for the scholarship fund was start¬
ed. Students are donating
amounts from small change to
$5 to the Martin Luther King
Memorial Scholarship fund.
Over $300 has been contributed
to the fund as of last week. The
president’s expense for the free
lunch was nearly $100. A check
was presented at last week’s
board meeting by Dr. Robert
Hahn, representing the Group for
Intellectual Freedom, to cover the
lunch cost.
Dr. Sarafian put the check into
the scholarship fund.
The fund will be administered
by the president’s office and lat¬
er channeled to an administrat¬
ing organization. It will be used
to help minority students at PCC.
The fund will be used to help
students who can’t afford the oc¬
cupational programs because of
tools or books.
Dr. Sarafian would like to see
the fund increased to the point
where scholarships could be given
to minority students who demon¬
strate outstanding potential which
may not be reflected in grades.
Bird Watch
PCC students have been invited
to participate in a pelagic bird
trip by the Pasadena Audobon
Society, Sunday, May 12. The
party will leave Newport Beach
at 6:30, visit the open ocean
south of San Clemente Island,
and return at p.m. Cost is $12
(or $8 for a limited number of
students.) Those interested
should call Balph Mancke, Cal¬
tech, 795-6841, Ext. 1670, or
793-4083.
Negro students, roused by the shooting of Dr. Martin Luther King,
drew a large crowd when they rallied outside the library. They
moved to the Campus Center lounge where emotions almost got
out of hand.
The doors will open at 7. The
public is invited. The lecture is
presented by the Faraday Lec¬
ture Committee of PCC.
Pipes of Pan'
Goes on Safe
A student publication represent¬
ing much of campus life, and
with material to fit the interests
of most students on campus, goes
on sale May 1. The 24th edition of
the “Pipes of Pan” PCC’s literary
anthology, will cost 50 cents.
“Pipes of Pan” includes short
stories, essays, sketches, science
fiction, and poetry. It is colored
with humor, politics, and human
interest. The “Pipes,” according
to Ivan Jones, adviser, has good
variety, and is “the best yet.”
This year’s “Pipes” has the
works of 44 contributors repre¬
senting the hippies, the scholars,
and the playboys of the campus.
There will be 800 copies printed
this year, and according to past
sales, students had better get
them while they last. Sales are
conducted by students of the cre¬
ative writing classes and The
English Council. Copies can be
bought in the Student Store, and
will be on sale around the cam¬
pus.
“Pipes of Pan” is also bought
by colleges and universities
around the nation. It has also been
mailed to the President of the
United States and Bennett Cert.
An outstanding feature of this
year’s “Pipes” is a distinctive
cover by Jerilyn Jandegian.
Editor is Dennis Petticoffer,
while assistant editors are Glenn
Siebert and Sue Van Winkle.
Cryss Torens is in charge of pub¬
licity, and Joanne Martin and
Karen Campell are the illustra¬
tors. Compositor and pressman is
Michael S. Waite. Fred Hammond
and Bill Bockus are other faculty
advisers.
