Bookstore Has
Required Text
To avoid the dilemma encoun¬
tered by the golfer who forgets
his putter, the commuter who
locks his keys in his car, or the
student who pursues education
without the proper guiding instru¬
ments, the PCC Bookstore sells
texts required by any course on
the curriculum.
Also offering necessary supplies
such as paper, pencils, or pens,
the Bookstore is located on the
west side of the campus, directly
east of the parking lot that faces
Green St. on Hill Ave.
Surrounding the bookstore are
the Campus Center, site of ASB
government meetings
Even the most burdensome
schedule shouldn’t interfere with
patronage as the unusually con¬
venient hours of 7:45 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. from Monday to Friday and
6 to 8:45 p.m. Monday to Thurs¬
day, enhance accessibility.
However, in the spirit of capi¬
talism and free enterprise, the
Pasadena Book Co., across Colo¬
rado Blvd. from the Life Sci¬
ences classrooms, Building D, not
only stocks books, supplies, and
other reading material, but also
buys back textbooks for as much
as half the original price.
With complaints of consumer
fraud prevalent throughout the
society, here is an opportunity
for the bargain hunter to exer¬
cise his talents.
4. Social Security Number: This
is not required but is helpful
when registering to separate dup¬
licate names. Please bring your
card with you.
Many people find it hard to
find a place to register to vote.
PCC students do not have such a
problem. Beginning this week, a
deputy registrar is on campus
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
between 12 and 2 p.m. in front of
the Campus Center until April 13.
In addition to the above-listed
times to register, two major reg¬
istration drives will be held on
campus. The first drive will be
conducted by the California Non-
Partisan Voter Registration Foun¬
dation. The time for this drive
will be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 13
through 16.
The second drive will be con¬
ducted during Politics Week at
PCC, April 10 to 13.
During this period, candidates
and speakers for the many issues
to be decided on by the voters in
the primary election will be on
campus to give their views and
explanations of their programs.
This will also be your last
chance to register to vote for the
primary election.
It is suggested that you register
early so that you will not miss
the chance to participate in the
June 6 election.

Pamphlet Justifies
PCC Parking Fees
“Stop and Read” is a colorful
pamphlet available from the PCC
Bank or the Information Desk in
C Building. It details the regula¬
tions governing parking on cam¬
pus and provides information on
permits, fees, etc.
The first paragraph says, in
part, “The (parking) fees will en¬
able the college to improve exist¬
ing parking facilities, increase se¬
curity and traffic personnel, mini¬
mize congestion, and keep unauth¬
orized vehicles off campus.”
How do these fees specifically
help the students at PCC? In a
recent interview, Gil Robinson,
coordinator of security and traffic
control, pointed out that parking
area thefts this school year (Fall
’71) were “very minor” compared
What Are Service Clubs Doing
on Campus and in Community?
Do service clubs do anything besides push donuts? Read and see.
Spartans, the girls with the red blazers, sponsored a toy collec¬
tion for a children’s nursery in Altadena. You may have noticed the
jelly beans they sold last semester or the smile campaign starting
off this semester.
Spartans have done other things, such as ushering “2001: A
Space Odyssey,” and plays for the drama class. The new Spartan
president is Nancy Hill.
Adelphians, the girls in black skirts and sweaters, devote their
efforts toward working for teachers. Each Adelphian has a specific
teacher she helps. The key word for Adelphians is “help.”
Besides helping teachers, they help usher. They help in a con¬
valescent home in Pasadena, and in general “help all service clubs.”
The service coeds sponsored a canned food drive last semester and,
yes, they did sell donuts. Regina Scott now leads the Adelphians.
What about the men? Circle K, now under the leadership of
Don Stockett, has devoted much of its attention to Nellis Boys Home
and their Little Braves (little brothers) program.
They helped with the Rose Bowl game and did a great amount
of work for the convocation last semester. Other projects were a
canned food drive, a blood drive for red cross, and being Santa
Clauses for little children through a Junior Chamber of Commerce
program. Most of Circle K’s programs will continue through this
semester.
At the same time, Junior Executives, under Art Andrade, have
also been working closely with the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
They also worked at the Rose Bowl, counting and painting. They,
for the most part, have worked right along with Circle K.
This semester they will be helping the Arcadia Ecology Council.
The JBs will offer a $50 scholarship to a needy student and $50 for
a handicarpped student at the end of this semester.
So now you know. Need help? Ask a service club.
to those of the last school year
(Fall ’70).
The estimated comparison is
$25,000 from last year, choked to
$500 this year (last Wednesday a
thief was caught attempting to
“hot wire” a GTO). “This past
year,” said Robinson, “we had two
traffic officers, one Cushman ve¬
hicle, and three student helpers.
“With the aid of more funds,
PCC now employs five traffic help¬
ers, three Cushman vehicles, and
eight to 10 student helpers.
“Last year, nine motorcycles
were stolen in one month, while
this year none has been stolen.”
Parking fees have made possi¬
ble new lighting for lots four and
five.
The parking situation at PCC
still presents problems. Specific
action has been taken, with efforts
to control these problems through
the funds from parking permits
and fees.
Honors Come
PCC Leaders
to
J. Ray Risser, vice president of
the Board of Trustees of PCC, has
been named to the Chancellor’s
Advisory Committee for the Cali¬
fornia Community Colleges.
This committee previews agen¬
da items of the Board of Gover¬
nors and advises Chancellor Sid¬
ney W. Brossman.
Risser was on the faculty at
PCC from 1938-60, serving as
chairman of the Social Science
Department, conducting current
events classes at the Pasadena
Library and devising new courses.
Dr. Armen Sarafian, president
of PCC, has been elected to the
executive committee of the West¬
ern Regional Membership of the
College Entrance Examination
Board.
The announcement of Dr. Sara-
fian’s election was made by Rob¬
ert G. Cameron, director of the
Board’s Western office.
Marianne Cordova, our new ASB
president. Dr. Sarafian pointed
out that Miss Cordova is the first
woman to hold this position since
1955, and he referred to an article
Safety Tips
for Evening
Students
During the past two months
there has been a problem with
the safety of the evening students
at PCC. Four female students
have been accosted and molested
on the dark streets within two
blocks of the campus.
Much has been done to elimi¬
nate this problem. Descriptions of
the assaulter have shown that it
was done by the same “sick” per¬
son. The suspect has been cap¬
tured by the Pasadena Police and
three of the four accosted girls
have identified the assaulter in a
police lineup.
Dr. Armen Sarafian, college
president, said that this has never
happened this near the campus
before, and all measures are being
used to prevent any further occur¬
rence.
Dr. Sarafian pointed out that
not a single instance of molesta¬
tion has occurred at the college
itself. The security has been in¬
creased, and new mercury vapor
lamps have recently been install¬
ed in the east parking lot, replac¬
ing the older, less powerful lamps.
Dr. Sarafian also stressed the
fact that evening parking permits
should be purchased for maxi¬
mum protection. The cost of the
permits has been reduced to $5
for the semester, and plenty of
parking space is available for
those who purchase the permits.
Some safety measures to help
exercise the proper precautions
are to lock car doors at all times,
look inside before entering to
make certain that the car is not
occupied, and to enter the car
quickly and leave without delay.
Other precautions are to walk
with an escort when leaving the
campus, to park on campus using
the parking permits, and to offer
no rides to strangers.
Parking permits may be pur¬
chased at the Information Office
in C Building Monday through
Thursday from 6:30 to 9 p.m. and
at the College Bank daily until
4 p.m.
Plans are being made with the
city of Pasadena to install mer¬
cury vapor street lights on Hill
St. near the parking lots there.

Angeles Times.
He said that he hopes the ad¬
ministration will work in con¬
junction with the Board this se¬
mester.
Dr. Sarafian conducted the
s w e a r i n g-in ceremonies, after
which he reminded the Board that
they were to fulfill all duties and
responsibilities, attend Board
meetings, be efficient, concentrate
on business, and represent all stu¬
dents, not just groups. He finished
by stating that he wants this se¬
mester’s Board to be the best in
college history.
Miss Cordova thanked Dr. Sara¬
fian and said that she hopes the
Board can work together without
personal conflict, due to the di¬
verse political beliefs of its mem¬
bers.
The financial report for last
fall was given with the recom¬
mendation that the assemblies
commissioner get $1500 with
which to function this semester.
The Board appointed commis¬
sioners for three vacant positions.
They are: Gene Vasquez for as¬
semblies commission, Denny Mee¬
han for ecology commission, and
Ray Thursby for publications and
publicity commission. Nomina¬
tions are being considered for
AWS president, religious commis¬
sioner, the bookstore committee
with three openings, and the cafe¬
teria committee with two open¬
ings.
A motion was passed to spon¬
sor Politics Week. The event will
take place in April, with speakers,
so everyone will get involved in
active politics.
Rodger Regnier, the democrat¬
ic candidate for state assembly-
man in the 54th district, was offi¬
cially recognized by the board as
a student running for office.
A question was raised about the
proposed ramp to the second floor
of the Campus Center. Miss Cor¬
dova explained that an elevator
was to be constructed in lieu of
the ramp. She noted that the
funds had come from the federal
government for elevators in C
Building for the handicapped.
The meeting was adjourned af¬
ter Miss Cordova pointed out that
the Board needs a committee to
discuss ways to raise funds. Any¬
one who is interested may contact
her.
