Proposed Club Center
To Provide Identity
\
“A place that clubs can identi¬
fy with as well as create student
interest in” is the idea behind the
proposed PCC Club Center.
The ICC Board, headed by Emi¬

ASB president Doug Philips, has
set a committee of club presidents
Stars Down
Germans
38-30 Score
By John Maffei
Pasadena City College went in¬
ternational last Wednesday when
German athletes of Athletic
Sports- Verein came to the cam¬
pus.
The group of 28, toured the
Pasadena campus in the after¬
noon, then at 7 o’clock that night
the German cagers played a 20-
minute basketball game against
the Pasadena City College All-
Stars.
PASADENA, led by Steve Car¬
rington and LeRoy Smiley, de¬
feated the Germans 38-30. Other
members of the All-Stars were
Charlie Burrell, Phil Vartanian,
Benny Jackson, Charlie Donovan,
and Terry Kathan.
The Germans were led by their
captain, Dietmar Schott. Mem¬
bers of the German team were
Heinz Wallau, Ferenc Menyhart
(who is also the coach), Cornel¬
ius Lutz, Heiko Klietsch, Volk-
mar Stier, Dieter Sentrup, Er¬
win Follwerk, Istavan Kozosca,
and Joachim Riebel.
THE GERMAN style of bas¬
ketball is similar to the Ameri¬
can game, but the Germans were
slower and lacked the heighth
needed to win in America. They
dribble the ball in a manner
slightly different from that of
Americans, bouncing it almost in

Plan Trips
Activity for the Highlanders
Club began yesterday with an
excursion to the local San Ga¬
briel Mountains. The goal of the
trip was to hike from Markham
Saddle to Sunset Ridge.
Jim Kroll, president of the
Highlanders, notes that many out¬
door activities are currently plan¬
ned for the hiking and mountain¬
eering club. Spots to be visited in¬
clude Bryce Canyon, Cucamonga
Peak, Twin Peaks, and Mt. San
Jacinto. All of the trips will be
held on weekends or holidays.
Activity is not limited to moun¬
tains and the outdoors however.
Club meetings, which are held
once a week at 12 noon in 24C,
have many interesting lectures
which aid the members in their
activities. Topics discussed in
these lectures include “Technical
Climbing,” “Snowshoe Travel,”
and “Snow and Ice Techniques.”
Membership in the club is now
open to those interested. The cost
is $1 per semester. Applicants for
membership must be cleared for
regular physical education by the
Health Center, and the applicant
must be able to climb 2000 feet
in two hours on the trail. Inter¬
ested students should apply in
24C.
and others to investigate the feasi¬
bility of the project.
PCC has 71 clubs (65 that are
active in the spring semester) and
seven new clubs have just come
into existence since the fall se¬
mester. They are now provided
with only mail boxes in the Cam¬
pus Center. There is no estab¬
lished place on campus for the
clubs to meet. The Club Center
will be designed to provide the
facilities.
The Club Center will be located
on the second floor patio in the
west wing of the Campus Center.
Although exact plans have not
been made, the patio will probably
be covered with a form of alumi¬
num roofing, which can be rolled
back in good weather to admit
the sun.
The center will also be carpeted
and contain desks, filing cabinets,
and bulletin boards for club use.
One feature will be a movable par¬
tition which would divide the area
into two rooms, providing an area
for meetings and other club func¬
tions.
A contest will be held among
PCC’s architectural students for
a design to meet building codes.
The committee will then choose
the best design and award the de¬
signer a prize.
Cost of the project will be be¬
tween $3000 and $6000. Funds will
come from donations by the clubs.
Names of the donors will be in¬
scribed on a plaque which will be
displayed in the center when com¬
pleted.
A meeting of the Club Center
Committee will be held today to
make plans for the project.

Highlight Club Day
By Paul Taylor
Amid the bustle of milling crowds and the competing clamor of
loudspeakers, campus organizations presented their wares to the
students during the ICC-sponsored Club Day last Thursday.
Club Day is held each semester to acquaint new students with
PCC organizations and to recruit new members.
Free literature, demonstrations, and contests are all part of
the show like a cross between a carnival and an Army recruiting
office.
One of the highlights of the day was the introduction of the
varsity basketball team. One by one the athletes were led out before
the crowd, accompanied by college beauties ranging from the Circle
К
Sweetheart to the Rose Princesses. After the introductions, coach
Jerry Tarkanian gave a short speech encouraging support for the
team.
THE MOST popular display of the day proved to be the demon¬
stration of police equipment sponsored by Alpha Lambda Epsilon,
police science fraternity. Police tools on display ranged from a squad
car, complete with siren, to a fingerprinting kit.
Many new clubs were present this semester for the first time.
Among them was the Auto Club, which displayed an award-winning
dragster, and the Afro-American Club which showed examples of
African art.
The Folk Dance Club, which is also new, put on a demonstration
of folk dances from the “old counties.” Unfortunately, during the
intricate steps of an interesting dance, members of the PCC band
were playing “Tiajuana Taxi,” which seemed to clash with the dancing.
OTHER INTERESTING displays included sports car movies put
on by the AMS, the Sailing Club’s 17-food sailboat, and a mountain
climbing exhibition up the side of the Campus Center by the High¬
landers.
Contests were also part of the activities. They included the cake¬
walk, sponsored by the Spartans, and the ping pong ball toss sponsored
by the radio fraternity, Theta Rho Pi, where the prize was a 45 r.p.m.
record.
According to Emily Vezerian, organizer of the event, the Club
Day was one of the best ever presented. “I was really pleased by
the large turnout and the fine displays of the organizations, especially
the new clubs. I feel they have contributed quite a bit to the event.”
HIGHLANDERS HO — Highlanders perform at the ICC Club Day
last Thursday, climbing the towering peaks of the Campus Center
without losing a single man (or woman).

English Council
PCC’s English Council, a service
organization, sets as its major
purpose the development of ac¬
tivities to raise money for schol¬
arships for outstanding English
students and the support of
ASB Books
Give Bargains
John Middlebrook, finance com¬
missioner, urges students to pur¬
chase their ASB books for the
spring semester now. The price
is $7.
The book gives free admission
to all athletic events and to the
coming prom. It also gives re¬
ductions in costs to dances and
other social events.
“All of this, plus insurance
coverage and a copy of the
Pageant at the end of the semes¬
ter, makes the purchase of an
ASB book a good bargain,” said
Middlebrook.
Two Instructors, One Student Join March
To Protest Tuition Plan in Higher Education
By Marshall Armistead
Out of the 10,000 or so partici¬
pants in the march upon the
State Capitol, three of them were
from PCC.
Instructors Dr. Jerome Wolf,
Miss Ardith Eudey, and student
Bill Hunnell took the 500-mile trip
Friday and Saturday to join
those in the protest of the pro¬
posed tuition for California’s
higher education.
“The real purpose, as I saw it,
was not to influence anyone but
to show that there was some uni¬
fied opposition to the governor’s
proposals,” states Hunnell.
ODDLY, the most notable story
in the news media was the re¬
sponse to the governor himself.
“When he first came out he re¬
ceived applause. More applause
followed when he said, T don’t
think any group of citizens should
ever come to the Capitol with the
expressed purpose of delivering
any message to the governor and
the governor be absent’,” Miss
Eudey observed.
But the situation quickly
changed when he said, “I’m quite
sure that there is nothing that I
can say that would in any way
create an open mind in some of
you.” “This remark insulted many
of the marchers, and the governor
was unfortunately bood for two
minutes,” Hunnell said.
FROM THAT point on the gov¬
ernor had trouble delivering his
three-minute prepared speech.
“Interestingly enough, the group
was very quiet and orderly until
the governor’s famous remark,
and it was a diversified group in
that there were people from vari¬
ous backgrounds there,” Dr. Wolf
said.
The governor also excited the
audience when he stated that “. . .
the people who contributed heavi¬
ly to the growth of the state’s edu¬
cational system had some right
to have a voice in the principles
and the basic philosophy that will
go along with the education they
provide.”
“He seemed to be saying that
those there were not the people,”
added Miss Eudey. This brought
about another chant from the
crowd, “We are the people.” They
were by now highly indignant
toward the governor.
“WHEN Governor Reagan fi¬
nally finished, he abruptly left
and a petition that was to be pre¬
sented to him had to be given to
State Senator Marvin Dimally,
who was to present it to the gov¬
ernor,” Miss Eudey said.
“A funny thing is that after the
governor left, several alternative
proposals were made to the gov¬
ernor’s budget which were ig¬
nored by most of the press,” cited
Dr. Wolf.
There were some constructive
results of the march. Workshops
were formed to discuss further
opposition and action toward the
proposed cuts. It was an assem¬
bling of the academic community
representing the depressed feeling
of many in higher education.
the English colloquium assem¬
blies — among many other things.
Among money-raising activities
are ticket sales for inter-depart¬
mental movies; the planning of
the spring honors tea; and selling
the “Pipes of Pan” in the spring.
The council holds an organiza¬
tional meeting Tuesday at 12 noon
in 137C under Connie Hall, presi¬
dent, and William Chapman, ad¬
viser.
“We should use the English
Council as a nucleus for a greater
academic atmosphere for the en¬
tire college,” Chapman said.
But he plans to have the council
continue its fund-raising activi¬
ties, too.
71 Clubs
Get Board
By Tom Leonhardt
Have you ever seen a fence-
board bulletin board? If not, keep
your eyes on that fence you pass
every day to the Student Center.
Those tattered posters telling
you that the bookstore is near
and that it has books for sale will
soon be replaced by a gigantic
bulletin board. Actually there may
be up to 71 bulletin boards grac¬
ing the two-tone fence with an
expected two years life left on
the PCC Campus.
PCC’s Inter-club Council has re¬
ceived permission to decorate the
fence, and each campus club will
be given its very own niche.
The clubs will pay any ex¬
penses. Much of the planning and
general design will be done by
the Model Home builders. No
completion date has yet been
given, but it won’t be too long be¬
fore you wiR be able to see what’s
happening with all PCC groups
without leaving your perch on the
wall in front of the library.
Peace Corps Visit
Peace Corps representatives,
headed by Charles Warsing who
served with the corps in Iran,
will be on campus tomorrow
and Friday to interview and
test candidates, and to make
visits to classes.
