Hearings on plans for the new
Pasadena junior college district
will be held in Arcadia, San Ma¬
rino, and Pasadena during the
week.
On Monday, Sexson Auditorium
was the scene of the first hearing.
Last night a meeting was held at
an Arcadia junior high school.
OTHER area-wide public hear¬
ings will be held tonight at San
Marino High School auditorium
at 8, and January 10 in the Pasa¬
dena High School auditorium.
Cities to compose the new dis¬
trict are Pasadena, La Canada,
Temple City, Arcadia, South Pasa¬
dena, and San Marino. Officials
from each district and from the
county will present the proposals
and answer questions. Seven
areas, with representatives to be
elected from each area, is the plan
which has had preliminary ap¬
proval by the County Committee
on School Districting. Approval
of the plan agreed upon by the
districts was in opposition to the
county’s preliminary plan, how¬
ever, the committee has since ten¬
tatively okayed the cities’ plan.
FINAL approval from the coun¬
ty committee would come during
February. If the plan is approved

house.

Senate are Tom Harter and Shel¬
ley Linderman, who are current
Senate parliamentarian and trea¬
surer, respectively.
Dan LuKensow and Ken Stokes
are candidates for Soph Class

and Bruce Wardlaw are in oppo¬
sition for the Frosh leadership.

OMD Tapping
Assembly Set
for January 13
Omlcron Mu Delta, PCC’s high¬
est honorary organization since its
founding in 1927, has always had
the purpose of recognizing unself¬
ish service to the college by stu¬
dents, faculty, and administrators.
Previously elected OMD mem¬
bers include Mary Blowers, Bette
Holmes, Merrilee Harter, Pam
Johnson, Duane Crumb, and Den¬
nis Thompson. They are now pre¬
paring the semi-annual festivities,
January 13, to honor more stu¬
dents and faculty members.
For those unfamiliar with the
term, “tapping” gives OMD mem¬
bers the privilege of walking into
classes and surprising selected
students uttering the words “tap¬
ped into OMD,” and tapping them
on the shoulder.
Tapping will be held the morn¬
ing of January 13. Following a
noon assembly in the tappees’
honor will be a reception in the
office of the administrative dean,
where the candidates will be of¬
ficially recognized and congratu¬
lated by officials, alumni, and cur¬
rent members.
Nearly 900 alumni have been in¬
vited to attend a banquet to wel¬
come the newly elected members.
The banquet will be held Satur¬
day, Jan. 15, at 7 p.m. at the An¬
tique Inn.
Language Program

PCC language students will
have the opportunity for intense
linguistic instruction this sum¬
mer. The Language Department,
under chairman Leslie Kol-
tai, will sponsor a seven-week
program in France and Spain.
There will be five weeks of class¬
room instruction and two weeks
of field study and travel.
Dr. Bryant Giles, PCC profes¬
sor, will be in charge of the
French group, which will meet at
the Institution of European Stud¬
ies in Paris. Miss Margarita Fas-
tabend, also on the PCC staff,

fore March 15, and interested stu¬
dents should contact Dr. Giles at
