Two Slates Battle ter ASB Offices By DUFFY JOHANSING Tomorrow and Friday, all student body members will be involved in the election of their ASB officers for the spring semester. The turnout of votes in the past has been very slim but it is hoped that this year a greater percentage of the student body will show an active interest in PCC by placing the candidates of their choice in office. Robert Medina, a 27-year-old sergeant in the Marine Corps, heads one slate as its prospective ASB president. His past campus activities include being president of Dr. Armen Saraflan’s Advisory Board for two semesters, having a firm foot in the Curriculum Committee, being a delegate of the CJCSGA, serving as second vice-presi¬ dent of the Senate, and as president of the Junior Execu¬ tives one semester. This semester he is public relations commissioner, a board member of the JE’s, and an active member and recruiter of MECHA. All of this he does while working 45 hours a week and involving himself in community and church activities. Second on the slate is Oscar Rodriguez, a political science major running for ASB vice-president. He is now president of the Senate and vice-president of ICC. Maurice Gregory, a member of JE’s and AMS, is aiming for Sophomore Class president. He is co-chairman of the Parking Committee and on the Senate Board. Supreme Council member Terry Johnson is reaching for Freshman Class president. He is now freshman vice- president and has great hopes for the class in the coming semester. The final member of the slate is Dave Marks for AMS. He has done a satisfactory job as finance com¬ missioner for this semester and is a member of AMS, the Advisory Board, and JE’s. He is the president of an international youth group and has been active in the CJCSGA. Medina will not make any promises about next semester, since every member of his slate might not be elected. He does plan to conduct student government as a business, though, and not in the disorganization of this past semester. He proposes that all ASB officers attend meetings of groups represented on the board and know beforehand the problems raised. A successful execution of the open door policy will also be attempted. The opposing slate does not have a president as its spokesman, but it is throwing its support to Ian McIn¬ tyre, a write-in candidate. He is president of the YPF Club and is commissioner of dialogue. Ray Dodson is the candidate for vice-president. He is a man who does his job well, as is shown in his avid campaign work. He is now coordinator of students for Tunney and an active member of the Coalition for Better Government. His PCC activities include being clerk of the cabinet and publicity chairman for AMS. Third in line is Ed Powell for sophomore president. A member of the Supreme Council, Powell is elections commissioner and a member of Circle K. Pete Kuretski, chairman of the successful Teacher Evaluation Committee and vice-president of the Senate is reaching for the office of Senate president. Freshman Class presidential candidate is Mike Kemp- painen, now vice-president of AMS and a member of the frosh council. Running for AMS and AWS presidents are Rudy Fordham and Sherry Campbell respectively. Both have been involved considerably this semester in the organi¬ zations. Fordham has been president and Miss Campbell vice-president. Their platform is built around the word “Genesis,” since it is an attempt to bring about a new student government. It is proposing five main points including a student voice on the Board of Trustees, a permanent draft counselling service on campus, a more compre¬ hensive faculty evaluation to be made available to en¬ rolling students, a focus on activities more directly involving students, and a proposal to have newspaper policy directed by the students rather than the adminis¬ tration. PCC Coutiiesv VOL. 32, NO. 13 PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA JANUARY 14, 1970 Farewell Senate Meeting Ends with Hope, Feeling of Finality The last Senate meeting of the semester last week was one giv¬ ing hope for the future, mixed with a feeling of finality. The future looked bright when Oscar Rodriguez, the present chairman, appointed two perma¬ nent chairmen for the Faculty Evaluation Committee, Pete Kur¬ etski and John Ballard. Rodriguez stated that this project had been so successful that he did not want it to fall flat after his administra¬ tion, and therefore, by forming a committee specifically for this purpose, made it a permanent project. There was a feeling of the end of an era, however, when Sam Soghomonian, the faculty adviser to the Senate, was presented with a beer mug by Rodriguez in ap¬ preciation for all he had done with the Senate. Before the pre- senation, Soghomonian gave a speech in which he stated that al- Lancer Band Set for Civic Concert I f : For the first time in many years the PCC Concert Band and the Tournament of Roses Band will give their winter concert at the Pasadena Civic. On January 17 at 8 p.m. the Concert Band will perform “Sym¬ phony No. 5” by Shostakovich- Righter, Mannin Veen, “Dear Isle of Man” by Haydn Wood, and “Andante” from the first move¬ ment and “March” from the third movement of Tchaikovsky-Fletch- ers “Sixth Symphony.” International Club Votes Election of new officers was the main item of business as the In¬ ternational Club met recently. In the absence of president Manuel Marquez, vice-president Ranga Bhaumik took over as pre¬ siding officer. _ The election will be held tomor¬ row. Nominations were made yes¬ terday. The officers are president, vice-president, secretary-treasur¬ er, publicity chairman, social chairman, and special events chairman. Also reviewed was the budget. Starting with a treasury of 28 cents, the IC’s funds have grown to $161.89 in the last year through the benefit of a Christmas party, Christmas bazaar, dances, and fund-raising projects, plus the $1 per person yearly dues for mem¬ bership. The club voted to use some of its capital to purchase a camera for the secretary to take pictures for the club scrapbook. The IC secretary announced plans for a party for the members and guests today in the faculty dining room. Guest soloist of the evening will je Bill Page, a woodwind special¬ ist. He will play Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma” using 11 different instruments. The first half of the show will conclude with David Bennett’s “Blues and Badinage.” The second half will feature songs from the 1969 Lancer Foot¬ ball Band Selections. The songs include “The Mad Major March,” “The Magnificent Seven,” “Bill Bailey,” “Classical Gas,” and “Ba¬ sin Street Blues.” Then the Concert Band will be joined by the 1970 Tournament of Roses Band. They will perform “Holidays Around the World Med¬ ley” by Dr. Richard Coy, director of the Band, “Big Spender,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” “I’m a Brass Band,” and “The Black Horse Troop.” The concert is light and con¬ tains many popular songs. Admis¬ sion is $2 and the money goes towards the trip to Hawaii that the band is planning. though the Senate was disorgan¬ ized last semester it was encour¬ aging to see that they had rallied together and put out such an ef¬ fective faculty evaluation. Soghomonian has been appoint¬ ed foreman of the Los Angeles County Grand Jury, and has therefore resigned as faculty ad¬ viser to the Senate. A report was given by the Fac¬ ulty Evaluation Committee stat¬ ing that the total cost for the project was $243 and a net profit of $123 was made. Parking chair¬ man Bruce Malter then gave his report, but had nothing of impor¬ tance to say as he has only recent¬ ly been appointed to the position. The Constitution Revision Com¬ mittee stated that a new constitu¬ tion had been passed for the Sen¬ ate, the major change in which was the lowering of the standard for a quorum to 33 1/3 per cent. After reports, speeches from candidates for positions in the ASB were heard from: Bob Me¬ dina (running for president) ; Os¬ car Rodriguez (vice-president) ; Mike Karpiel (Senate president) ; David Marx (ASM president) ; Pete Kuretski (Senate President) ; David Nicholson (Frosh presi¬ dent) ; and Mike Cemppainen (Frosh president). — Courier Photo by Steve Tom MRS.

Representative John Tunney To Address PCC Students U. S. Representative John V.

Congressman Tunney, son of Flying Club Invites Students on Trial Pun The PCC Flying Club invites all who are interested in aviation to come and fly with them on January 18. The Flying Club would like to show students how much fun fly¬ ing really can be in the club. This semester the club has offered po¬ tential members a trial run to get used to it. The trial will be in the form of a trip from Burbank Air¬ port to the Santa Monica Airport by the scenic route over LA show¬ ing a bird’s eye view of things. The trip is open to all who are interested in getting above it all to fly. Further details of the flight can be obtained from Sid¬ ney Orloff, adviser, in 15C. There will be several other flights for members, such as a San Diego flight in February and a bomb drop flight on March 21. former heavyweight champion Gene Tunney, is very enthusiastic about speaking to the student body. He was educated with the Kennedy’s and is a close family friend. He has emerged as a prominent liberal spokesman on the political matters of today’s society. Tunney has maintained an ac¬ tive legislative program. Among the bills he has supported are stronger drug control proposals, the Fund for the National Coun¬ cil on Indian Opportunity, educa¬ tional grants to states, and penal¬ ties for students at colleges fail¬ ing to cut off federal aid to stu¬ dent rioters. Tunney will speak on environ¬ mental legislation and would like all interested students to attend and voice their opinions. Tunney’s speech is being spon¬ sored by the AWS through help from Roy Dodson. Anyone inter¬ ested in helping with the con¬ gressman’s campaign should con¬ tact Dodson. Evaluation Errors I would like to make the fol¬ lowing corrections in the Facul¬ ty Evaluation and to extend my sincere apologies to teachers whose evaluations were in er¬ ror.
