ASB Results Tallied
Grant To Head ASB Board
Students have elected Ron Grant
ASB president in the elections held
Wednesday and Thursday. Derek
Coleman defeated Rebecca Ennis for
the position of vice-president. Lisa
Albanese will serve as Freshman
Class president and Anita Cosey as
Sophomore Class president. Gretchen
Frandsen was voted to the position of
Associated Women Students president.
Ron Dickson defeated Peter Graff for
the Associated Men Students president
position.
ASB President-elect Ron Grant, who
ran unopposed, said that his main
thrust in student government next
semester would be in “cleaning up
apathy and working with the people.”
Grant commented that he plans to do a
lot of thinking about how to make that
happen.
“I don’t know what it’s going to take
but I’ll do it,” said Grant.
Bringing back the concept of a
student discount card would be a
needed addition to current procedures,
according to Grant. He said he would
like students to be able to see more
concerts on campus and to receive
discounted admission to football
games.
“I’d like to see the student govern¬
ment becoming one. There would be no
drastic changes, just set up in a dif¬
ferent manner,” said Grant.
“The reason why most people get fed
up with student government,” said
Derek Coleman, vice-president, “is
that people lose touch with the pur¬
pose, which is to benefit students. They
get caught up with politics. All I want
to do is make life easier for the
students.
“There is no reason why students
should have to go through needless
complications and hassles,” said
Coleman.
Coleman said that his goals center
around getting support and sparking
student concern.
“I think Ron Grant is wishy washy,
but he has knowledge of the ad¬
ministration and X think he’ll do fine,”
said Coleman.
Rebecca Ennis, who presently fills
the position of Adelphian president,
said that she is interested in
broadening the opportunities for
students in her campaign speech.
This coming semester an organized
effort will be needed to support the
student centers, according to Ennis.

Vice-President Wardlow
To Step Down Next Year
DEREK COLEMAN
GRETCHEN FRANDSEN
By James Dixon
Staff Writer
Mildred Wardlow, vice-president of
administrative services, will retire
next year after more than 16 years at
PCC. Mrs. Wardlow plans to travel
around the world.
Occasionally Mrs. Wardlow walks
from her home in Hastings Ranch
(which is east of Pasadena) to PCC.
“It gives me a sense of accomplish¬
ment when I walk four miles,” she
said.
However, she noted that she only
attempts the marathon walks when the
days are cool and the light of day lasts
to follow her home.
Usually, Mrs. Wardlow satisfies her
desire for walking in the morning when
she jogs up the stairs of R Building and
walks around the top level.
“When I have a problem,” she
related, “I have less of one when I
have finished walking. The joy of
walking is so pleasant, it is excellent
for my health and walking around
campus gives opportunities to see the
staff rather than coming to my office,”
she added.
Mrs. Wardlow will retire after 30
years of an impressive career. She
started at the University of Missouri
where she graduated with a BA in
statistics, accounting and economics,
and a BS in mathematics in 1935.
Mrs. Wardlow worked as a special
representative for the IBM Corpora¬
tion from 1939 to 1945.
“I traveled to various locations when
I wrote procedures or revised manage¬
ment procedures. Locations suah as
Montana, Iowa and Oklahoma.
For instance, “Rath Packing
Company was just starting to set up
IBM equipment and I helped write
their accounting procedures.”
Mrs. Wardlow was the first woman
special representative for IBM.
The president of IBM at that time
had hired a select, specialized group of
women.
World War II was raging at that time
and by 1943 there were few qualified
men in the country which might ex¬
plain the liberal move toward the
group of women in that conservative
era.
“When my husband came back over¬
seas on a merchant ship from Italy he
sent wires to many IBM offices to find
me,” said Mrs. Wardlow.
Mrs. Wardlow quit in 1945 because
IBM had a company policy that no
married woman could work for them.
For the next 10 years she took care of

PCC Coed Killed in
Off-Campus Car Crash
Prohs, Johnston Chosen by Faculty as
New Courier and Prism Editors-in-Chief
Kathy Prohs, fall semester Courier
managing editor, has been chosen by
the journalism faculty to serve as
editor-in-chief for the spring term.
Ms. Prohs served as opinion editor
during the spring of 1977, and will
begin her fourth semester in the
journalism program.
Also named by the faculty was Steve
Johnston as Prism editor. Prism is the
campus magazine, which for the first
time is being published each semester.
Johnston served on the Courier during
the fall as associate news editor.
He is a graduate of UCLA and holds
a degree in psychology. He works at
the Pasadena Star-News as a news
assistant and is also serving an intern¬
ship there.
The page editor positions on the
Courier staff were announced last
week. Ms. Prohs’ appointments are
Todd Axtell, news editor; Steve
Johnston, associate news editor; John
Mazzacano, opinion editor; Mike
Phillips, fine arts editor; Tom
Trepiak, sports editor; Mike Lan¬
caster, associate sports editor; Amy
Miller, feature editor; Blake Sell,
photo editor.
Ms. Prohs also named assistant
editors as follows: Mary Glenn
Crawford, assistant fine arts editor;
Joan Bennet, assistant feature editor;
LeeAnne Schwartz and Kathy Braid-
hill, assistant news editors.
With the exception of Lancaster,
Miller and Trepiak, all of the page
editors have served as page editors
previously.
Ms. Prohs will assume her post with
the departure of fall editor Dana
Pedersen, while Johnston is replacing
John Mazzacano. New editors are
chosen each semester.
Dawn Adams will serve as business
manager, Mike Phillips as cartoonist,
and Todd Axtell as circulation
manager.
Isabel Mayagoitia, a 19-year-old
student at PCC, died as the result of a
traffic accident December 23.
Miss Mayagoitia was enrolled as a
full-time student in humanities. She
was in her second semester at PCC.
Through her courses she had hoped
to become a bilingual school teacher.
She worked as an assistant to the
Physical Sciences Department
secretary.
The accident claiming Miss
Mayagoitia’s life occurred when a car
driven by a 16-year-old youth crashed
into hers as both cars were traveling
east on Portrero Grande Drive in
Montebello. Miss Mayagoitia’s
passenger was also killed and six
persons were injured in the two-car
collision.
The youth was booked for investiga¬
tion of vehicular manslaughter and
felony drunk driving in connection
with the accident.
Miss Mayagoitia’s parents live in El
Sereno, Calif. “Isabel was a quiet and
pleasant person, who smiled with
friendship, whenever I saw her here at
school,” said Reed Ohrbom, geology
technician.
WOMEN’S CONFERENCE
The Pasadena Commission on the
Status of Women and PCC’s
Women’s Center will present a
special day for women on Saturday,
Feb. 4 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the
Campus Center. The workshop,
entitled “Women — Take Charge of
Your Life,” will include a panel
discussion and a series of 50-minute
workshops. Registration for the
event begins at 8:30 a.m. Child care
will be available by paid profes¬
sionals from the Child Care Informa¬
tion Center and preregistration of
children is required and available by
calling Gwen White at 577-4373.
Additional information is available
by calling 578-7384.
The plans are being made under the
direction of Arthur A. Krieger, acting
director of public works for the city of
Pasadena, and will include the closing
of Sierra Bonita Avenue and Francisca
Street, installing a driveway and
widening Bonnie Avenue.
A rough estimate of the cost of the
project has been submitted to the
college. According to Dr. Charles F.
Miller, vice-president of business
services, the cost of erecting a parking
lot would be close to a quarter of a
million dollars. That figure would
include demolition, land leveling,
concrete, lights and landscaping.
“The big battle is over who should
pay for the widening of Bonnie Street,”
said Dr. Miller. “I don’t feel we should
pay since it’s a city street”.
However, according to the Depart¬
ment of Public Works, the developer,
in this case the college, pays for the
engineering and the job.
Miller expects the plans before the
end of the month.
One of the major reasons for the
purchase, according to Dr. E. Howard
Floyd, president-superintendent, is a
concern for safety. He fears that there
will be a student fatality at the
Francisca Street and Sierra Bonita
Avenue crosswalk near the E and U
buildings.
He stated that people using the
crosswalk have difficulty seeing
drivers approaching from behind them
at that intersection.
Board of Trustees approval to nego¬
tiate for the property came last year.
DOING THEIR THING— Every morning
Monday through Thursday at 6:30 you
could find these students gathering in C
Building. There they go over the AP wire
service and the Pasadena Star-News
preparing for the daily news program aired
over PCC-TV. Three classes are combined
in a cooperative effort to produce a four-
minute color news broadcast utilizing
national, local and campus news. These
classes are TC18, radio and TV news;
TC16A, producers and directors; and
TC100A/B, engineers. Instructors are Tony
Georgilas and Gerald Finn. The news
capsules are aired every day at 11 :50 a.m.
and 2:50 p.m. Finn’s class also produces a
20-minute expanded news report on Friday.
