PASADENA CITY COLLEGE; PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
JANUARY 5, 1973
Candidates for ASB President
Announce Goals, Qualifications
Tony Ott
Kathryn Raffee Jim Brownfield
Tony Ott, the incumbent vice
president of the ASB, is now seeking
the office of president in order to turn
the student body into a viable
mechanism of the Pasadena com¬
munity.
Ott, a journalism major, is assistant
editor of Pasadena Now, the magazine
published by the Chamber of Com¬
merce. He is also business manager
for the PCC Courier, advertising
manager for ASPECT magazine, and
president of the PCC Chapter of Beta
Phi Gamma, the national professional
coeducational journalistic fraternity.
Ott has been active in student
government during the past semester.
He was once publicity and publications
commissioner, and helped to rewrite
the Publicity Code.
“As this semester’s ASB vice-
president, I have acquired an in-depth
knowledge of the workings within
our student government,” Ott stated.
“I have been active in student
government for the past semester, and
with this experience I feel I would be
more open to suggestions for change in
matters of governmental action and
the affairs directly relating to student
functions.”
When asked about any major
changes he would make if elected, Ott
replied, “None. I’m leaving everything
open to the students, and I plan to work
with them through the Board and
Senate meetings.”
He recently was involved in the
revision of the constitution, and if
elected plans to use it when carrying
out his term as president.
“We can make it happen,” says Ms.
Kathryn Raffee, Student Senate
president and candidate for ASB
president.
“I believe we can make it happen—
our desire for inter-racial and inter¬
club communication,” she says. “We
can make it happen with a common
effort to thoroughly restructure and
revitalize ASB government.”
Ms. Raffee believes it can and must
happen by ASB shifting emphasis from
meaningless politicking to careful and
productive programming of campus
activities.
She is especially interested in seeing
the revised constitution passed in the
coming election so that minorities can
serve on the board.
“If I’m elected president,” she says,
“I’ll call a special election so the
minority posts can be added to the
Board right away, should the new
constitution be ratified.”
An English major with a 3.3 GPA,
Ms. Raffee has actively taken part in
PCC activities. In addition to serving
as president of the Student Senate, she
is currently president of the English
Council, editor of Pipes of Pan and a
member of Associated Women
Students (AWS).
She also serves on the Student
Service Fund Committee, the College
Council and works part-time in the
Financial Aids Office.
Her past activities include Chairman
of Student Coordinating Committee to
Defeat Proposition 14, president of the
English Council, AWS secretary and
being a senator.
“If elected, I intend to shorten lines
of communication between the student
government, student body at large,
faculty, administration, and the Board
of Trustees,” said Jim Brownfield,
candidate for ASB president in the
spring election.
A German major, Brownfield is a
second term senator, treasurer of the
International Club, member of Alpha
Mu Gamma, and a German tutor in the
Foreign Languages Department. He
also participates in Mrs. Francisca
Baldwins’ handicapped students
program as a reader to the visually
handicapped.
Brownfield said that most students
on campus are poorly informed about
what’s going on in student goverment,
he felt that this is due to the lack of
communication on both sides.
“I’ve talked to many students and
they don’t even know who their ASB
president is,” he explained, and he
intends to change that.
“As president, I’ll not wait for
students to come to my office,” he
said. “The whole campus will be my
office. I’ll report to the students
everything that happens in the ASB,
and I’ll listen to what they have to
say.”
About the recent revision of the ASB
constitution, Brownfield felt that the
board waited too long. “Moreover, in
dealing with anything that is im¬
portant to the students in one way or
another,” he said, “there should be
open hearings to get feedbacks from
the student body before changes are
made.”
OMD Taps 17 New Members for
Exceptional Service to College
ASB VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES— Vice presidential hopefuls
for PCC’s spring semester are Phyllis De Vine (not pictured) and
Asmat (Sami) Siddiqui. Phyllis is a peer counselor on campus, and
says she is interested in all the students and their future goals and
ambitions. Sami is now the president of the International Club and
hopes to have more cooperation between the students and faculty,

Candidacy for Offices
Fourteen students and three faculty
members were officially presented as
new members of Omicron Mu Delta
yesterday by Lee Heins, vice presi¬
dent, at an afternoon reception held in
the Campus Center lounge.

society.
“This semester OMD has honored
unusually fine students and faculty
members,” Heins said before in¬
troducing the new tappees. “It has
nominated members who are out¬
standing in every way.”
These tapees have given service to
the college “far beyond the amount
required for their service group, office
or activity,” Heins stated. They have
been highly recommended by faculty
or other persons with whom they work.
“In addition to service, they are
superior in both character and
scholarship.” The 14 students’ GPA
average is 3.0.

Electronic
Musk Class
Available
The use of the synthesizer, tape
recording techniques and scientific
and technical aspects of sound will be
covered in PCC’s Music 106A—
Electronic Music class beginning Feb.
7.
This one unit class meets each
Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Kl.
According to Dr. Randall K. Kir-
schman, instructor, enrollment in this
class does not require any prior
knowledge or experience in either
music or electronics.
“This class is meant to be an in¬
troduction to use of the synthesizer and
related equipment,” said Dr. Kir-
schman.
“Theory is brought in only insofar as
it is thought to help the student use the
equipment more effectively,” he said.
Each student is encouraged to get
first-hand experience in the use of the
synthesizer and related equipment
during his laboratory period.
What is not covered in the course,
explained Dr. Kirschman, is electrical
engineering aspects of synthesizer
design or construction, composition of
electronic music or purely musical
topics.
