This Semester Will Bring Many Changes

VOL. 24, NO. 1
Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California
FEBRUARY 7, 1966
RECENT CHANGES in the campus are evident in
looking at this 1960 picture. At top left between
Sierra Bonita and Bonnie are two blocks of resi¬
dential homes that are now the two east side
parking lots. Between C and T Buildings is the
old swimming pool which has since made way
for the new technology building. The center of
the campus has undergone the most change.
В
Building has been moved 100 yards to the south.
The old women's gym that is shown in this pic-
— Courier photo by Gail Bliss
ture has been replaced by a new building that
stands where the two end tennis courts are
shown. The old bookstore, seen to the upper left
of A Building, and the tree-shaded Prairie have
made way for the new five-story Robbins Build¬
ing which is scheduled for completion in March.
The Campus Center complex has taken some of
the parking area from the west side lots, and to
the right, a planetarium has been added to the
observatory.

morrow night in Sexson Audito¬
rium. The public is invited with¬
out charge.
In Miss Dix’ film, showing 25
major US zoos, she reveals that
for recreational purposes more
people go to zoos every year than
to any other entertainment, in¬
cluding organized athletics. A
wide variety of animal life is
shown in the film, and the role of
zoos in conserving rare species is
emphasized. The development of
research laboratories in connec¬
tion with zoos and research con¬
ducted by them are also described.
A University of Washington
journalism graduate, Miss Dix be¬
gan her career by writing scen¬
arios for feature films in Holly¬
wood and later in London. She
lived in France for four years as
a foreign correspondent.
Later she wrote radio broad¬
casts for short-wave transmission
from New York to Europe.
During the war, Miss Dix wrote
and directed films on US national
defense for the Government Of¬
fice of War Information, which
sent her to England. She spent
the latter part of the war there,
writing and directing OWI films.
In addition to film production, she
worked for the UN Information
Center in Southeast Asia, where
she spent five years before start¬
ing independently with film lec¬
tures.
The Tuesday Evening Forum is
sponsored by the Educational
Services Division of Pasadena

sen lias announced that spring

By David Laidig
This coming semester will be an
important one in the history of
Pasadena City College. A pro¬
posal will come before the voters
in the area that PCC serves to
form a Pasadena Junior College
District separate from the Pasa¬
dena Board of Education that now
governs PCC.
While the proposed change in
governing bodies is going on off
campus, long-time students will
be aware that things on campus
aren't the same as they used to
be.
In March the business, cosme¬
tology, medical and dental assist¬
ing, and nursing classes will move
into the new Robbins Building.
Classes meeting in A Building will
be moved and that building torn
down in preparation for the sec¬
ond half of the huge structure.
Landscaping will be a welcome
addition to many of the bleak
areas on campus.
Beside this physical change,
there is hope of an increase in
student appreciation for PCC.
ASB President Steve Scott will
be “promoting” PCC on and off
campus throughout the semester.
He has tried in his past three
semesters at PCC to associate
Pageant Awards
Prizes at Dance
Following Frolic
Sportsnight, hosted by the
Women’s Athletic Association,
will be held this Friday from 7 to
10 p.m. in the Women's Gym.
Three volleyball courts will be
set up, and if as many people
show up as have in the past, all
three will be bursting with activ¬
ity. There are also indoor facili¬
ties for golf putting and table
tennis.
The shuffleboard courts on the
roof of the gym and the swim¬
ming pools will be open, weather
permitting.
Following Sportsnight will be
the Circle
К
dance in the Cam¬
pus Center lounge from 10 to 12.
There Pageant editor Larry Har¬
ris will draw the name of the
winner of the trip to Disneyland.
The drawing will be from those
who had their pictures taken last
semester for the Pageant, PCC's
yearbook.
Second prize will be a dinner
for two at the Sizzler Steak
House. Several other prizes will
include refunds of the picture
fee. Prizes have been arranged
by last semester’s frosh and soph
presidents, Scott Ousdahl and
Rich Wheeler.
Admission to the Circle
К
dance will be 50 cents for ASB
card holders and 75 cents for non¬
card holders.
Former Student Returns
to Find Flyers for Corps
Newly commissioned 2nd Lt.
Patrick A. Cardinale, an engineer¬
ing major at Pasadena City Col¬
lege from 1960 through 1963, will
return to PCC tomorrow and
Wednesday with the MARCAD
team to inform interested stu¬
dents about his new career in
Marine aviation.
Lt. Cardinale applied for the
Marine Corps aviation commis¬
sioning program while a student
here. When his application was
approved, he was ordered to
Pensacola, Fla., in the summer of
1964 to begin Marine Corps flight
school. Upon his graduation in
January from the 18 month train¬
ing program, he was commission¬
ed a second lieutenant and desig¬
nated a Marine jet pilot.
Cardinale is temporarily assist¬
ing the Marine Aviation Cadet
Selection Office, Los Alamitos, in
procuring interested two-year col¬
lege students for this program.
Upon completion of his temporary
with as broad a spectrum of stu¬
dents as possible. Serving as
Varsity Club president, English
Council vice-president, Student
Handbook assistant editor, and a
member of the AMS Board, Circle
K, forensics team, football team,
Pep Commission, and Psychology
Club, Scott probably does have
some idea of what a good number
of PCC students would like to see
their student body president do.
Some of the Scott approach is
already evident in the ASB of¬
fices. A directive has been issued
calling for a more businesslike
atmosphere in the offices. If the
rules he has laid down do take
effect, and there is every reason
to believe that they will, the of¬
fice area will perhaps seem friend¬
ly enough for interested students
to walk in and express their
views.
Scott also plans to travel to
high schools in the area to build
up appreciation for PCC at the
basic community level. Unfortun¬
ately, the results of this program
will probably not be seen for sev¬
eral years, until the enthusiasm
created in these high school stu¬
dents finally reaches the campus.
This program should have been
started several years ago.
Basically, with the Scott ap¬
proach, student government will
be concerned with the “broader
aspects” of student life and not
just the social scene. He wants
to see PCC fulfill its potential in
respect to student interest and
participation.
