ASB Books Now
on Sale for $7
Associated Student Body books
are now on sale in the College
Bank for a reduced rate of $7.
Terry Worsdell, finance com¬
missioner, urged Lancers to pur¬
chase their books now since
March 1 is the deadline. After
that date no ASB books will be
on sale.
The spring book entitles the
holder to the 1963 yearbook, the
Pageant, and to voting privileges,
insurance, and admittance free of
charge to assemblies, athletic
events and social happenings.
Worsdell said that the $7 is
well worth the value, as the Pag¬
eant alone is valued at $6.50.
Students Required
to Register Cars
Students are reminded that
Monday is the deadline for renew¬
ing their vehicle registration with¬
out penalty.
Tom Bright, director of the
State Department of Motor Ve¬
hicles, has also asked motorists
to get new plates as soon as pos¬
sible to avoid long lines that an¬
nually jam DMV offices during
the last days of the renewal pe¬
riod.
“After midnight Monday, the
department is required to charge
a ten per cent penalty on late re¬
newals,” Bright added, saying
that a 100 per cent penalty will
be charged on the weight fee por¬
tion of each late commercial reg¬
istration.
Navy Information
A Naval Aviation information
officer will visit the campus
tomorrow through Friday. Lo¬
cated on the Prairie near the
Bookstore, the officer will sup¬
ply information to students in¬
terested in the Naval Aviation
Officer program.
Exploratory meetings are being
conducted regarding the general
procedure in Tournament of
Roses queen tryouts.
Under discussion are how close¬
ly the tryouts should be affili¬
ated with PCC’s women’s physical
education department and extra¬
curricular elements.
Heading the discussion com¬
mittee is S. Luke Curtis, dean of
student activities.
Also participating are two Tour¬
nament of Roses officials, John
Cabot, chairman of the queen se¬
lection; and Max Colwell, man¬
ager of the Tournament of Roses.
Others are John Christopher,
president of the PCC Faculty As¬
sociation; Barney Whitesell, for¬
mer ASB president; Dr. Cather¬
ine Robbins, college president;
and Suzanne Macauley, chairman
of the women’s physical education
department.
The group is seeking the best
methods of selection. In the past
charges of discrimination were
Bookstore Hours
During the first two weeks of
the spring semester the College
Bookstore will remain open
from 7:30 a.m. through 9 p.m.
except Friday hours are 7 :45
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Book¬
store is experimenting by not
closing for a dinner hour. If
successful, the new hours will
become permanent.
Pasadena’s Board of Education
recently invited the neighboring
cities of Alhambra, Arcadia, Du¬
arte, Monrovia, San Marino, and
South Pasadena to join the Pasa¬
dena City Junior College District.
The chief requirement for
merging is that each of the in¬
vited districts would have to vote
to assume its share of the present
bonded indebtedness.
State law requires each of these
cities to join an existing junior
leveled at the selections by the
National Association for the Ad¬
vancement of Colored People.
Some questions also have been
raised as to whether or not the
tryouts are completely voluntary.
Dr. Robbins noted that the col¬
lege was proud to be affiliated
with the Tournament of Roses
queen selection. However, she
said that the meetings were being
held to determine what general
procedure should be followed
within the college.
college district or form one of its
own by Feb. 1, 1964.
It is estimated that it would be
less expensive for these cities
without a junior college to join
an existing JC district rather
than undertake the expense of
building their own junior college.
The addition of neighboring
cities to the Pasadena district
will have no great effect on the
present tax rate, since each city
will carry its burden.
Music Hour Tomorrow

Dr. Jenkins recommended that
the board accept the bid, noting
that the Associated Student Body

The school district will provide

Type III Sabin Oral Vaccine
Ready for Clinics in Pasadena
The Los Angeles County Medical Association
will proceed with plans to sponsor Type III of the
Sabin oral polio vaccine clinics this Sunday and
February 10. The organization is convinced that any
possible risk involved is far less than the risk of
non-immunization.
Four other Southland county medical associa¬
tions have decided to sponsor clinics on the same
days to conclude the mass immunization program
launched last year.
Clinics will be open to persons of all ages. Chil¬
dren, who are most susceptible to the ancient
scourge, are especially urged to participate.
The LACMA Council adopted the recommenda¬
tion of its public health committee, which “voted
unanimously to go ahead because health authorities
at every level have agreed the so-called risk involved
is far less than the proven risk of going without
immunization,” Dr. Reginald Smart, chairman of
the committee, said.
Dr. Smart said persons of all ages are being of¬
fered Type III vaccine because Southern California
traditionally has been a “hot-bed” of polio and is
a high-risk area.
The Sabin oral vaccine is taken on a lump of
sugar and costs 25 cents.
Those wishing to take the vaccine may find
clinics at the following locations.
Pasadena: Garfield Elementary School, Lin¬
coln Elementary School, Field Elementary School,
John Muir High School, Washington Junior High
School, Marshall Junior High School, McKinley
Junior High School, Wilson Junior High School, and
Pasadena High School.
Also in Pasadena: Pasadena City College, Pasa¬
dena College, Southern California Gas Co., and
American Legion Post 280-
Locations in Altadena are: Edison Elementary
School and Eliot Junior High School.
In Sierra Madre residents may get the vaccine
at Mt. Alverno Heights High.
