'Creative' ASB Planning
Pasadena City College’s ASB
leaders promise a self-evaluation
of the purposes of student govern¬
ment in an attempt to give Lan¬
cers a well-rounded extra-curricu¬
lar program of events.
ASB President Robert Bordwell
met with incoming and out-going
student officers during the semes¬
ter break in order to establish

in Little Theatre
PCC’s little theater group will
present “The Boy Friend,” direct¬
ed by Gerald F Wilson, February
18, 19, and 20, in the Little Thea¬
ter.
The play, a combination of
youth, high spirits, color, and
movement, will feature the land
of jazz-age frolic. Starring Linda
Wiencek as Polly (a poor little
rich girl), the story centers
around her efforts to obtain a
boyfriend.
Maureen O’Hanlon, playing
Maisie, who finds “safety in num¬
bers,” goes through several dance
sequences with Kenneth Savage,
who portrays the versatile show¬
man Bobby van Husen.
The play is under the technical
direction of Fred Draig; lighting
is by Richard Wheeler; choreog¬
raphy is by George Le Fave; and
the musical ensemble is conducted
by Craig Palmer.

basic plans for the spring semes¬
ter.
“WE HAVE to concentrate on
building spirit and strengthening
participation,” Bordwell said. “We
must also evaluate our past ac¬
tivities and continue only those
the students want.”
In regard to the budget the ASB
president said, “Money should be
spent on activities for the student
body as a whole.”
THE STUDENT leaders dis¬
cussed mandatory ASB books,
limitation of funds to organiza¬
tions requiring ASB membership,
and the status of the Pageant
(PCC’s yearbook).
“I think that the students also
want better assemblies,” Bordwell
said, “and we should reduce the
less popular events and concen¬
trate on the wide-appeal assem¬
blies.”
THE incoming president stress¬
ed, “We must be creative and not
just restrict ourselves to activities
planned in the past.”
In his platform during the cam¬
paign, Bordwell outlined steps he
planned to follow to improve stu¬
dent government. Among these
was a desire to expand the ASB
commissions; to draw both on and
off-campus organizations togeth¬
er to accomplish the objectives of
spirit; and to increase pride at
PCC.
Vice-president John Fowle said
he is eager to effect closer asso¬
ciation and communication be¬
tween ASB government and PCC
students.

UCs Clark Kerr at CNPA Convention
Four students from PCC’s Jour¬
nalism Department attended the
CNPA (California Newspaper
Publishers’ Association) annual
convention held in Sacramento
last weekend.
The students involved in the
weekend excursion to the state
capital were Richard Trubo, fall
Courier editor; Cheryl Zintgraff,
spring Courier editor; Karen An¬
derson, publications commission¬
er; and Marilyn Nash, Pageant.
FACULTY advisers who also at¬
tended include Nick Beck, William
Buttler, Robert van der Veen, and
Fred Hammond.
The confab hosted various
speakers including Governor Ed¬
mund G. Brown and University
of California President Clark
Kerr.
Governor Brown spoke to news¬
men and college delegates on top¬
ics which he considers important
to strive for in California during
the next few years.
THE Governor spoke briefly on
the recent budget presented to
the state, stressing the need for
all money indicated in the vari¬
ous areas.
He said he had received numer¬
ous complaints declaring various
aspects of the budget excessive
and others not even ample. In
response to this he pointed out
that committees worked hard and
long in efforts to determine the
budget in the various areas.
Governor Brown also talked
shortly on the situation in Ber¬
keley and the action which he
took in calling for the arrest of
demonstrators. He said, “It was
a tough decision” but that “it
was the duty of the Governor to
uphold the law, and that the dem¬
onstrations were in out-and-out
defiance of law officers.”
PRESIDENT Kerr noted in his
address that he “hoped that the
students have learned the heavy
costs of anarchy and the value of
the slower democratic processes
of discussion.”
Kerr added that the students
“are learning that people in a
democratic society are committed
to law enforcement.”
