Vets Reminded
of Ed. Benefits
Gordon R. Elliott, director of
VA’s Southern California regional
office, reminded veterans study¬
ing under the GI Bill that they
can hire a tutor at VA expense,
if needed, and still get the full
educational allowance.
About 4000 veterans received
more than 60,000 hours of tutorial
help in connection with their GI
Bill educational studies, Elliott
reported.
To be eligible for this benefit
(established by the Veterans Edu¬
cation and Training Act of 1970),
the veteran must be enrolled un¬
der the GI Bill above the high
school level on a half-time or
more basis.
If the veteran needs tutoring
to pass a required course, VA
allows up to $50 monthly for a
maximum of nine months to pay
for it.
These tutorial fees are in addi¬
tion to the regular monthly edu¬
cation check the veteran receives,
and are not chargeable to his
basic entitlement, Elliott pointed
out.
Veterans interested in tutorial
assistance or education benefits
are urged to contact their near¬
est VA office, or local veterans
service organization representa¬
tives.
New Drop Policy
Begins in Summer
After the summer semester,
the procedure for dropping a
class will be changed, because of
the work done by some interested
students, faculty members and
staff. The new system will in¬
crease communication between
students and their instructors and
will attempt to encourage stu¬
dents to stay in their classes.
The new plan, authored by stu¬
dents Ray Thursby and Marianne
Cordova, provides for conferences
between student and faculty mem¬
bers when a student intends to
drop a class and gives the student
an opportunity to appeal any time
he is dropped from a class.
PCC Gallery Presenting
Makers' Exhibit
Pasadena City College is pre¬
senting an invitational print mak¬
ers’ exhibit at the PCC art gallery
from Monday, Jan. 10, through
Friday, Jan. 21.
The gallery will be open from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Wed¬
nesday and Friday; from noon to
3 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday,
and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on
Monday through Thursday.
Internationally known print
makers from the Pasadena area
have been invited to exhibit their
work by PCC art professor Ben
Sakoguchi.
Displaying will be two former
PCC instructors now at Cal State
Los Angeles. Shiro Ikegawa will
show photo-etch techniques and
three dimensional prints, and
Leonard Edmundson will display
etchings employing complex color
techniques.
Udall Speaks
at PCC Today
Stewart Udall, former secretary
of the interior and fighter for
conservation, will give the semes¬
ter’s final environmental lecture
here today.
He will speak at noon and again
at 2 p.m. in Sexson Auditorium.
The lectures are open free to the
public, but tickets must be picked
up at the PCC Information Cen¬
ter, 150C.
As interior secretary for eight
years in both the Kennedy and
Johnson administrations, Udall
fought for a “new conservation”
that would insure America’s eco¬
nomic, social and moral health.
He now heads the Overview
Group, which he formed in 1969
to consult with federal, state and
local officials, industries and re¬
gional planning groups on urban
and rural problems.
Udall is also visiting professor
of environmental humanism at
Yale University and author of
the books “1976: Agenda for To¬
morrow” and “The Quiet Crisis.”
MSB Betiims Set
Tomorrow, Friday
Silk screen prints in brilliant
colors will be shown by Walter
Askin, also of Cal State Los An¬
geles. Lithographers Willie Su¬
zuki of El Camino College and
Conner Everts, formerly of Cal¬
tech and Chouinard, will show
their current work.
Intaglio color prints displaying
technical innovations will be
shown by Tom Fricano of San
Fernando Valley State College.
Color etchings, the result of years
of development, will be shown by
UCLA instructor Ray Brown.
PCC students will be exercising
their right to self-government
when they vote for student body
officers Thursday and Friday,
Jan. 13 and 14, from 8 a.m. to 2
p.m. The polls will be in front of
the cafeteria, in front of the R
Building, near Sexson Auditorium
and in the pits.
Election officials expect a great¬
er interest in this election than in
the past because the 18-year-olds
now have the vote and are more
a part of their government.
Fifteen people have applied to
run for eight offices; their eligi¬
bility requirements have not been
established as of Monday a.m.
Marianne Cordova, Steve Gold¬
man, and Rodger Regnier are
running for ASB president. Ray
Thursby and Charles B. Watson
are vying for ASB vice president.
Andy Anderson, Eric Dee, Dana
Ehlig and Dave Terrebonne are
running for Sophomore Class
president, John Conroy for Fresh¬
man Class president.
Roger Thompson and Gerald
Kuehner are running for AMS
president, Linda Malligo for AWS
president. Peter Principe is run¬
ning for Senate president. Har¬
old Jong is running for athletics
president and commissioner.
The Courier has offered space
to the various candidates to ex¬
press their views. Unfortunately,
due to the last minute nature of
the election and our inability to
contact all candidates, we are
able to present the platforms of
only Roger Regnier, a candadate
for the office of ASB president,
and Dana Ehlig, who is seeking
the office of Sophomore Class
president.
This does not constitute an en¬
dorsement of either of these can¬
didates.
The Courier cannot be respon¬
sible for the accuracy of any
claims made by the candidates.
“My platform calls for doing
what we as student government
can do for ending the war in
Vietnam (and Laos, Cambodia,
etc.) and for the freeing of politi¬
cal prisoners such as Angela Da¬
vis. I know that student govern¬
ment has been useless in the past
but I think it can be used as a
platform for making noise on
these issues.
“Most of the larger schools
around have had antiwar plat¬
forms before — and they have
helped considerably in the pull¬
ing of our troops out of Cam¬
bodia.”
— Roger Regnier
“I wish to continue my job as
Sophomore Class president. I
wish to continue to fight for stu¬
dent rights. I wish to continue to
try and keep the students and
particularly sophomores informed
to what is coming off on our cam¬
pus. I wish to represent the stu¬
dents at this college at Board of
Trustees, ASB Board, and student-
faculty meetings.
“This last semester I did these
things to the best of my ability.
That is why, in part, we now have
restrooms that handicapped stu¬
dents can use. That is why we
now have fewer parking restric¬
tions. That is why we now have
regular student-faculty meetings.
“Thank you.”
— Dana Ehlig
Ggt Off Your Cans!
Take a walk around your apart¬
ment or house, pick up all your
wine bottles, mayonnaise jars,
Coors Beer cans, and old news¬
papers, along with any other
glass, aluminum or newsprint you
can find that you don’t need any
more, and bring it down to PCC’s
own recycling center.
The center is located behind the
auto shop next to the fence at the
northwest corner of the football
field near Sierra Bonita.
The recycling center, which is
sponsored by Ecology Action
Club, will be in operation the
entire school year.
