Dr. Floyd Appointed
As College President
the students themselves feel there
should be.
“I think one of the great strengths of
PCC has been the opportunity and the
willingness of the community to help
the college to provide the best
education possible. Certainly this
should be continued,” he said.
Dr. Floyd said that there is a
discussion of a state bond issue for
community college coming up soon to
help the financing of college expenses.
“In the last few years we have been
able to meet the needs of this college in
a way of new facilities or for new
buildings through the aid of the state
bond issues and some federal funds.”
He cited D and E building’s funding is
an example of state bond issue and
matched funds from local taxpayers.
“But we may not have the opportunity
to have this type of shared financing in
the future.
Dr. Floyd said his major short term
goal is a smooth change of ad¬
ministrations.
The new president will assume the
new post February 1.
years ago his title was changed tc
deputy superintendent.
“I feel very honored to have the
opportunity to follow a person such as
Dr. Sarafian. He has done such an
outstanding job here at this college
throughout these last years,” said Dr
Floyd.
“The major thing we must do is to be
sure to maintain the same fine
educational program that has been
characteristic here at the college,” he
said. His goals are “to continue to
build upon what has already been done
and continue to make the educational,
program sensitive to the ever-
changing needs of the community.”
Dr. Floyd went on to say that one of
the greatest things that have happened
here are a result of the staff members
who have been willing to evaluate the
needs within the community and to
develop programs with community
leaders, parent groups and alumni.
“One other thing is the close working
•elationship of the staff with the
students,” he said. “They try to in¬
volve students in the kind of programs
MAKING A POINT— Dr. E. Howard Floyd discusses his plans as he

By Jill Boekenoogen
City Editor
Dr. E. Howard Floyd was selected to
succeed Dr. Armen Sarafian as PCC
president. The Board of Trustees
announced the appointment on
Thursday, Jan. 8. Dr. Floyd feels that
“There are many wonderful things
ahead for education at PCC because of
the cooperation of students and the
involvement of the community.”

Colorado when he was five. He
graduated from Colorado Agriculture
College, now Colorado State College,

began his teaching career in Colorado.
He moved to Pasadena 39 years ago
when he began teaching in the
Pasadena City Schools.

back to Pasadena City Schools and be¬
came the supervisor for mathematics
and science.

struction.

take a more active interest in clubs
JEROME SPEARS
and foreign students. If elected, he
plans to accomplish this and also
establish a Supreme Council.
Jerome Spears was dropped
from the election by Dean
Phyllis Jackson because of
his failure to meet require¬
ments of election procedures.
If elected, ASB vice-president hope¬
ful Schultz expresses plans to expand
the shuttle bus and insure that .all
future ASB elections will be held

Ms. Capobianco believes that the
office of Sophomore Class president is
one whose potential has yet to be
fulfilled. She feels that the college
should do more for the community.
About PCC’s potential as an aid to the
community, she says, “I feel that PCC
can do more than just provide a room
in which a grade can be earned.”

CCP Classes Added
to Spring Schedule
Several courses are scheduled for
the spring semester to help students
gain a direction in their program at
PCC. The classes are under the
heading of College Career Planning.
CCP 1, Introduction to College, has
nine sections scheduled. This course is
designed for students new to the
college. It is required for entering
freshmen under 21 who are taking nine
units or more, but is open to anyone
entering PCC.
This course provides a quick
orientation to the physical structure of
PCC and to the many services
available to its students. It discusses
such areas as how to study effectively,
-report writing, research papers, how
to use the library and how to work out a
realistic schedule of classes from one
semester to the next. Also covered are
sections on “who governs the college,”
“financial assistance available,” and
social activities, clubs, etc. on campus.
All CCP 1 classes have been
Orchestra To
Give Concert

the Chamber Orchestra in concert
tonight at 8:15 in Harbeson Hall.

The program will include the
Chamber Orchestra Ensemble and
feature student soloists. They are Lesa
Terry, violin; Mary Benedict, viola;

and one half weeks of the semester.
Two sections of CCP 111,1
Educational Planning and Study
Skills, are also scheduled. This course
is open to students who wish help in
identifying their interests and
abilities. Guest speakers from dif¬
ferent vocational and occupational
areas are invited to talk to the classes
about specific jobs and the training,
skills and qualifications that are
required.
Through a battery of special tests,
the student is helped to analyze his
interests, aptitudes and values in CCP
117, Career Planning. The course
works with the individual students by
concentrating specifically on the life¬
time activity of making career
decisions. Discussions and confer¬
ences help the student evaluate career
requirements and research career op¬
portunities.
In response to special needs, several
sections of CCP 112, Psychology of
Social Relations, have been scheduled.
One section is designed for students
with impaired hearing and another for
the physically handicapped. These
sections are especially recommended
to students who are interested in
physical therapy and rehabilitation.
The basic goal of CCP 112 is to teach
a variety of easy-to-learn techniques
for improving academic performance
and provide ways of dealing with
personal problems. It uses a method of
seif-programmed control so that a
person may gain a greater control over
his habits, attitudes and emotions. The
last section of CCP 112 will start in the
third week of the semester.
All CCP courses offer credit toward
graduation and are taught on a credit-
no credit basis. Students wishing to
enroll in any of the programs will find
them listed under the heading of
College and Career Planning.
