Coes After Blood
Tuesday During Annual Drive
“The life you save may be your own” themes
the Pasadena City College blood drive scheduled for
next Tuesday, March 1. Facilities will be set up
from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Music Building.
Any student or faculty member wanting to give
blood must register before March 1 in 111C or in
front of the Campus Center. The drive is conducted
by the American Red Cross and is sponsored each
spring by Circle K.
Any student or faculty member who donates
blood is eligible to receive blood plasma from the
bank at any time during his life. Also, any member
of the donor’s family, and all students at PCC can
receive blood from the PCC blood bank by contact¬
ing the American Red Cross.
According to Richard Bray,’ chairman of the
blood drive, a donor must be over 18 years of age,
must weigh more than 110 pounds, and must not
have a serious health problem. Students under 21
years of age are also required to have written con¬
sent from their parents.
Those interested in donating blood may get
further information and application forms in 111C, in
front of the Campus Center, or from any member
of Circle K. Applications and parent consent forms
must be returned to 111C before March 1.
“This service project is brought to you to save
a life, and is most important to you and to your
family,” stated Dave Sautter, president of Circle K.
“The life you save may be your own.”
It became a matter of life and death for Ralph
Tableman three years ago. Tableman was dying of
intestinal cancer and needed six pints of blood to
save his life. An employee of the Technology De¬
partment, he had donated regularly through the
Pasadena City College blood bank. Blood from the
bank saved his life.
The Red Cross blood program is the largest
blood bank in the United States and operates 24
hours a day, 365 days a year. Whole blood from
other sources could cost from $25 to $65 a pint, and
blood derivatives from $35 to $125 per unit. These
items are immediately available when needed to
persons who have donated in the past.

Student Organizations Day gave
the Campus Center patio a festive
carnival atmosphere last Thurs¬
day. Organizations ranging from
Adelphians to Young Republi¬
cans sponsored tables where they
set up exhibits, gave demonstra¬
tions, distributed literature, and
talked to prospective members.
Lambda Alpha Epsilon, the po¬
lice science fraternity, had one of
the most popular displays. Officer
Richard Rudy of the Pasadena
Police Department demonstrated
fingerprint dusting technique on
a police car and gave bystanders
a sampling of the shrill siren and
growling warm-up of a motor¬
cycle.
PCC police science students,
Jeff Fields and Jon Oleson, took
fingerprint impressions, demon¬
strating a service that LAE will
soon offer to the student body.
Spectacular demonstr at ions
were the order of the day. The
International Student Commission
put on a karate exhibition and the
Varsity Club gave members of
PCC’s defending national cham¬
pionship gymnastics squad a
chance to show their form.

landers had planned to climb the

Teachers Aid
Writers Lab
Having writing troubles? The
English Department is offering,
for the sixth consecutive year, a
writing lab for those students
who are need of remedial help in
writing.
Mrs. Beatrice Rodenburg, one
of the teachers in the program,
emphasized that students are free
to participate in one session or as
many as they wish. There is no
red tape — no registration or pro¬
cedure to follow. Just go to the
class.
Any PCC instructor may send
students with particular prob¬
lems; and all students are advised
to bring their texts, papers, and
writing materials.
Mrs. Rodenburg pointed out
that students have particular
problems in punctuation, organi¬
zation, mechanical matters, and
research techniques. The English
teachers will be helping the stu-

so by the administration.
The Spartans had a cakewalk
contest in which they gave away
20 cakes. With the chances at 15
cents each, the contest was an
excellent fun (d) -raiser as well as
a morale builder.
One of the functions of Student
Organizations Day was to inform
normally apathetic students about
the various organizations avail¬
able to them. Students interested
in the flying and sailing clubs
learned that they don’t have to
own a boat or plane, or have expe¬
rience-just interest and enthu¬
siasm.
For those uninformed as to fun¬
damentals of seamanship, Andrew
Littlejohn pointed out the many
features of his Thistle-class sloop,

The east side of the campus
will take on a new look this week
with the opening of a new food
center at the southwest corner of
the new tech building.
The Pasadena City Schools
Food Services Division has in¬
stalled vending machines in a
them with a Sparbender’s best
friend. The “Sandy Andy” has
the svelte dimentions of 17-6-24 —
17 feet long, a six foot beam, and
a 24 foot hoist.
A spot survey of various groups
seeking to recruit revealed an av¬
erage of six signups each. Their
general attitude toward Student
Organizations Day was enthusias¬
tic.
Jim Hilly er of the Young Re¬
publicans expressed the attitude
of most clubs: “The very fact that
we were in it was important. We
were part of the school’s activities
and also picked up several poten¬
tial members.”
Organizer of the ICC-sponsored
event, Emily Vezerian, said, “The
clubs really came out and pitched
in to make it work. It was out¬
standing.”
trailer that will be open during
class hours.
Sandwiches, hot entrees, soup,
coffee, hot chocolate, doughnuts,
candy, and other snacks can be
purchased during school hours.
The center has been installed for
the convenience of students on
the east side of the campus and to
relieve the overcrowded facilities
at the Campus Center.
According to Mrs. Kathleen
Strohmeier, director of the
schools’ food services division, ad¬
ditional machines will be installed
as the demand increases. The in¬
stallation of vending machines
was suggested by the Senate last
spring.
Another improvement on the
east side of the campus will be
the landscaping of the new tech
building patio. Additional benches
will be installed to accommodate
students and faculty using the
new food center.
Senate Sets
Active Pace
All Monday 9 a.m. classes are
now in the process of electing
senators. Each senator will rep¬
resent his class in semi-monthly
meetings.
The Senate is the chief com¬
municative and representative
link between the student body, the
student government, and the ad¬
ministration. It also serves stu¬
dents with various projects such
as the car pool, which Senate
President Shelley Linderman has
promised will be further publi¬
cized and expanded this semester.
It has been an active force
working to alleviate parking prob¬
lems and was the on-campus or¬
ganization responsible for per¬
suading the Pasadena City Coun¬
cil to suspend many on-street
parking restrictions.
In the past semester the Sen¬
ate’s executive committee met bi¬
weekly with college president Dr.
Armen Sarafian and discussed stu¬
dent opinion on such subjects as
passing bells, campus hazards,
distracting motorcycle noises,
and the perpetual parking dilem¬
ma.
The first Senate meeting will
be held tomorrow at noon in 104D.
All senators must attend and all
interested students are invited.
AWS Plans Area
Conference Here
PCC’s Associated Women Stu¬
dents are operating in high gear
this week as they prepare to wel¬
come 400 delegates to the AWS
Spring Conference.
Delegates of 32 Southern Cali¬
fornia colleges will gather on the
campus for the one-day confer¬
ence, Thursday, March 3.
Purpose of the conference is to
increase communication, spirit,
and organization between the par¬
ticipating colleges in serving the
needs of junior college women in
Southern California.

THE CENTER OF ATTRACTION of these students at Organizations
Day is a member of PCC's national champion gymnastics squad.
In the background are exhibits of the forestry, sailing, and police
science clubs. Groups were pleased that the festival provided
opportunities both to participate and to gain new members.
