The dance was a benefit to raise money for the Julian Tellez fund; he is a Mexican national who was shot Oct. 1 and is permanently paralyzed from the waist down. The dance netted $620, but much more money is needed if Tellez is to return to PCC in February. In addition, $16 was earned by the Chinese students club by selling won ton, $28 was earned by the Pakistani students by selling samosas earlier in the week. More money came from the Blair High School Latin Club, which donated $53, plus miscellaneous donations that were contributed. years as part-time member of the USC faculty.” The term “adjunct” is used to identify those valued members of its instructional staff who, except for part-time service, are in all respects professionally qualified and deserving of the indicated academic rank. The acceptance of this appointment entitles Dr. Sarafian to many of the privileges of a regular full-time member of the faculty of comparable rank. Dr. Sarafian has been the president of PCC since 1965, and superintendent of Pasadena Area Community College District since 1966. He has worked 21 years in summer and part-time teaching in 12 different colleges and universities, including University of California at Los Angeles, Occidental, Claremont and California State colleges. His most recent professional ac¬ tivities include being member of the Select Committee on Restudy of Master Plan on Higher Education, Advisory Committee to Chancellor of California Community Colleges, California Junior Colleges Association Legislation Committee, and Con¬ tinuing Education Committee for California Community Colleges. He is also the founder and member of the Pasadena Area School Trustees Association.

Cranor To Lecture on Respect, Nature of Today's Laws “Respect for the law? When? Why?” These questions will be discussed by Dr. Carl F. Cranor, professor of philosophy at the University of California, Riverside, today at 10 a.m. in Harbeson Hall. A specialist in moral and political philosophy, Dr. Cranor received his PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles. He has written ex¬ tensively on the relation between the person and the law. He is visiting PCC under a grant from the Institute for Philosophical Studies. In his main lecture, Dr. Cranor will talk about the nature of respect for the law, the conditions under which one ought to respect it, and use this analysis and justification to show that some ordinary claims about respect for the law are very misleading, although at the same time insightful. After the talk, Dr. Cranor will be available to meet with classes and small groups during the remainder of the day for more initimate discussions. Professional journalists from local newspapers volunteered their time to judge the contests: Lee Austin, Los Angeles Times; Dick House, Jet Propulsion Laboratory ; Mike Pottage, Montrose Ledger; Julian Lowe, Pasadena Eagle; Helen Schrader, Temple City Times; Terry Johnson, Pasadena Star News; and Greg Moore, Pasadena Now. Holdup Men Hit Cafeteria and Escape A robber with a stocking over his head and his accomplice attacked Ms. Verbal Sweet, cashier in the Campus Center faculty dining room and escaped with $200 last Tuesday. Ms. Sweet didn’t know if the men who attacked were armed or not but she did suffer a bump on her head which was treated at Lincoln Hospital later. According to Mel Jackson, cafeteria manager, two black males entered the dining room at about 2 p.m. One man covered Ms. Sweet’s mouth and knocked her against the wall, then to the floor, grabbing the bag of money which she had just cleared from the cash register. “No one knows where they came from or where they went,” said Jackson. “It all happened too fast.” “It’s funny how no one was around when it happened,” commented Jackson. “With all the money we have around here, we’d better have security from now on.” Jackson thinks perhaps the robbers are former employes because they seemed familiar with the cafeteria’s layout and the fact, that Tuesdays are profitable. The Pasadena Police were called in and are following up the case, ac¬ cording to Gil Robinson, head of PCC security. Dental Students Honored Two PCC dental hygiene students have won first place for their table clinic display at the Annual American Dental Hygienists’ Association held in San Francisco Oct. 27 - 28. Linda Nathan (Pasadena) and Merrie Lynne Smith (Arcadia), second year dental hygiene students, prepared a display which was rated tops by a panel of judges over displays presented by 24 other two and four- year colleges and universities, many of them dental schools. “Role of the Dental Hygienist in Cases of Tooth Erosion, Abrasion, and Attrition” the title of the display, features э 5-7 minute oral presentation accompanied by a fact brochure. The display and the program that goes with it will be presented to local dental groups on a regular basis, according to Mrs. Joan Brandlin, dental hygiene instructor. Both Miss Nathan and Miss Smith, along with six other PCC students paid their own way to the weekend con¬ ference. However, Mrs. Brandlin doesn’t expect any of her students will attend next year’s meet. It is in Washington, D.C.
