Board Revises Constitution i Cowiieb Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California December 15, 1972 At a special meeting last Friday, ASB Board members made major revisions in the ASB Constitution which the student body will vote on Thursday and Friday, Jan. 11 and 12. The amendments to the constitution must be passed by a. two-thirds vote of the student body. Perhaps the most far-reaching change in the constitution is the ad¬ dition of four representatives from the four largest recognized minority groups— American Indian, Asian, Black and Chicano. “Each of these representatives will have a full vote on the board,” said Chris Lucas, ASB president. “They will be selected from their respective racial organizations— BSU will select a member, MECHA will select a member, and so on.” This enables a real representation of the board, said Lucas. “We believe that we are the first ASB Board to grant full voting power to minority representatives,” he said. According to Lucas, ASB members felt that a racial imbalance on the P.

KPCS Wins Golden Mike KPCS, PCC’s radio station, won a Golden Mike Award for excellence in broadcast journalism form the Radio and Television News Association of Southern California last week. The 23rd annual Golden Mike presentation was held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills. Dr. John F. Gregory, KPCS station manager and executive producer of the winning radio documentary “Gone the Rainbow,” accepted the “Best Documentary” award in Division В (smaller stations) for KPCS. “Gone the Rainbow” explores the problems of drug abuse by youth and what is currently being done to combat it by such places as Synanon and free clinics. The documentary was produced by Pete Schofield and his associate producer Howard Kutzly. Engineers were Gary Johnson and Andy Zall. All are PCC students working on KPCS. “Last year KABC won this award,” said Dr. Gregory. “So you can see what stiff competition our small radio station had.” This documentary has also won other awards. According to Dr. Gregory, it captured the Public Affairs Award for “The Best of West, 1971” from the Western Educational Society for Telecommunications, and the American Legion Award for California as best local radio program produced in the interest of youth. Health Manpower Will Begin at PCC Mrs. Pauline C. Anderson, specialist, allied health program development and coordinator for the Dental Auxiliary Program, has been working since July 1 on various programs to be developed at PCC. Due to the emphasis throughout the nation on health manpower and legislation on the state and national level, the guidelines for programs in the state of California are being established. One program in particular is receiving the efforts of the local hospital radiologists and the radiologic technician staffs. The guideline for this program are based on the premise of the following objectives: increasing the upward and lateral mobility for radiologic technologists; and in¬ creasing the number of qualified technologists to meet the needs of radiology and improved patient care. A community college associate degree program in radiologic technology is inherent to the hospital radiology departments with the contractual arrangements between the two institutions. An acceptable associate degree program must be affiliated with a general hospital that is fully accredited by the Joint Com¬ mission of Accreditation of Hospitals. A curriculum study is being con¬ ducted for associate degree program for nursing home administrators. The Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators is requesting the assistance of statewide institutions of higher learning to develop such a program in light of recently established continuing education requirements for nursing home ad¬ ministrators. PCC now offers two courses ap¬ proved by the Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators,— Business 120A and 120B, (Health Facilities Management), which cover basic concepts of health facilities. Mrs. Phyllis F. Jackson, Foreign Languages Department chairman, has been appointed dean of women by the Pasadena Area Community College District Board of Trustees. Together with John Eikenbery, dean of student activities, Mrs. Jackson will be working closely with the students. She will act as counselor to the Student Senate, ASB Board, and all other college clubs, providing leadership for faculty advisers of student organizations. As administration coordinator of student government, Mrs. Jackson will also submit lists of students requiring eligibility check during elections. Her other duties include the planning of the commencement and the preparation of the yearly student handbook. She will participate in public relations work, supervise clearing house functions, and the publishing of the Campus Crier. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, with a BA in French, Mrs. Jackson joined the PCC faculty in 1968, teaching Spanish and Portuguese. She was named depart¬ ment chairman in February, 1968. She is looking forward to her new post. “I will have an opportunity to have close contact with the students,” she said, “and that is what I came into teaching for.” However, she does not see any significance in being one of the only two woman deans in the college. The other dean is Mrs. Mildred M. Wardlow, dean of personnel services. “I guess I should have some feelings about that, but I don’t” Mrs. Jackson said. “To me, being a woman and a black is just sort of something thrown in extra.” Although her title is dean of women, Mrs. Jackson emphasized that neither she nor Dean Eikenbery see her responsibility as strictly with women. “Sometimes a man student would rather deal with a woman, just as sometimes a woman would rather talk to a man,” she explained. “We’re here to help all students, men and women.” board and a lack of representation determining various programs and actions necessitated the change. The 10-page constitution had not been revised since 1965, and although new articles had been added, the board felt that an overall “house cleaning” was long overdue. Another major revision is reducing the requirement to be an elected of¬ ficer in student government. Present elegibility requires that students be enrolled for 12 units. The board revised it down to 10 ‘/2 units. “We want equality for all students,” explained Lucas. “Athletes carry ЮУг units. This is considered a full load and it entitles them to be elected officers. We feel that all students carrying IOV2 units should have equal opportunity.” Other changes are in impeachment, recall initiative and referendum. Petitions will need the signature of 10 per cent of the active members of ASB (any student with an ID card) instead of 20 per cent. Any student wishing to see a copy of the revised constitution may contact Mrs. Dorothy Byles, student coor¬ dinator, in the Campus Center. DEAN OF WOMEN — Mrs. Phyllis F. Jackson, Foreign Languages Department chairman, has been appointed dean of women.

Contest credit and support goes to Ken Kolle, instructor; Mrs. Bessie Radcliff, instructor, and lead instructor, Mrs. Ruth Gentry. According to Mrs. Gentry, “Contest work helps students build manipulative skills, gives an op¬ portunity for creativity, and increases good sportsmanship.” She also feels, “Through competition, confidence increases and fears are overcome. It also affords students an opportunity to meet professionals already at work out in the field.” BSU Dance A Lancer appreciation dance will be held tonight in the Campus Center from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Everyone is welcome.

These young boys need a strong male influence. Big Brothers of Greater Los Angeles has started a new concept in assisting these boys toward greater insight in becoming men. Being sponsored by John Eikenbery, dean of student ac¬ tivities, the Big Brothers program will start next semester. The new program is centered around recruiting male students directly from the area colleges. Hopefully, as the relationship grows between the Big Brother and the Little Brother, the Little Brother might decide on a college education for himself. Working with a Little Brother enables the student to earn one unit for four or five hours of service a week. The purpose of the Big Brothers is to give male companionship to fatherless boys between the ages of eight and 18. Personality and interest are the fac¬ tors on which Big Brothers are recruited, but the factor which helps in selection is the willingness of a man to help a boy. For those students who are in a financial bind, all expenses and-or contributions are tax deductible. The investment is a good one; it costs about $7,000 per year in tax dollars to in¬ stitutionalize a boy, but it costs only time and attention for boys served through Big Brothers. In time alone, the Big Brothers’ answer is a rare buy, but how can you put a price tag on a productive life verses a tragic wasted life? Any interested male students may contact Ralph Gutierrez in Financial Aids (C236) or Mrs. Dorothy Biles in the Campus Center. For further in¬ formation, contact George Salter, volunteer coordinator in Pasadena for Big Brothers at 795-7781.
