Once Free , Now—
Forum Dates
Trimmed to 12
Because the Tuesday Evening
Forum is no longer being funded
by the state, some changes have
been made for 1978-79. Season
tickets will now be $10 for 12
lectures. Tickets for individual
lectures will be a dollar as will be
parking.
Last season there were 2000
season ticket holders. This year
the goal is 1000 season ticket
holders plus 100 people at each
lecture just to break even.
Lectures scheduled for the fall
are: eight diverse travel films,
from Tunisia to Scotland; three
scientists’ lectures on ESP; the
development of human powered
flight; the Universe; and the
Herald Examiner will lecture on
their Los Angeles paper drive.

Noncredit class fees at PCC
were instituted for all classes not
listed as vocational under guide¬
lines set down by Senate Bill 144.
The lowest fee charged will be $10.
The fee system will cover costs
of classes previously offered for
free by the school, and reflects the
loss of Average Daily Attendance
(ADA) money for funding. These
funds were eliminated by SB154
which also provided $260 million to
junior colleges for 1978-79 budgets.
Protests from citizens attending
the Board of Trustees meeting
centered around elimination of
parent education classes from the
chancellor, Dr. William G. Craig’s
list of vocationally oriented
classes. Vocational noncredit
classes will be funded by state
money for free instruction. Others
listed for free offering are citizen¬
ship classes, classes for handi-

Voting Member

PCC students won a victory at
last week’s Board of Trustees
meeting.
Trustees voted four to three in
favor of allowing the student
representative to vote in the
committee that will search for a
new superintendent-president to
replace E. Howard Floyd who
retires in October.
ASB Vice-President Lisa
Albanese called PCC students
“essentially powerless” and
urged the Board to “help us cure
some of the apathy at PCC” by
allowing the representative to
vote.
Student Valerie Martin said, “I
can only view a non-voting student
representative as a statement by
the Board that PCC is not
deserving of its nationwide
reputation for excellence.”
After the third student spoke,
quoting a Courier editorial, two
trustees expressed annoyance
about the amount of time students
were consuming. “Don’t play with
our time,” said Trustee Charles F.
Briscoe.
Briscoe, David S. Hannah,
Walter T. Shatford and Richard H.
Green voted to allow the student
representative to vote; Trustees
Roger Gertmenian, Robert L.
Spare and Warren L. Weber voted
against the motion.
capped adults, high school
diploma classes, adult basic edu¬
cation and English as a second
language.
One parent opposing fees for
parent education classes called
the fees “arbitrary.” She stated
that many social services refer
parents to these classes and that
fees would keep many people from
taking them.
Dr. E. Howard Floyd pointed
out that the Chancellor “made this
arbitrary decision,” and the
Board could not alter the situa¬
tion.
The fee system will be applied
starting in the fall. A rate of 83
cents per hour was originally
submitted by Vice President of
Instruction Stanley E. Gun-
stream, but came under fire from
Trustee Warren Weber who
described it as “simplistic.”
He claimed that two-thirds of
the class cost was paid by the
hourly rate. This, he said, ignored
fixed costs which Gunstream had
said were the same for 10-hour
classes as for 12-hour classes.
“The students who take more
hours of classes are being
penalized in this way,” Weber
stated.
The Board later decided to
modify the fee schedule to allow
for a greater share of expenses to
be paid through registration fees.
The average class will cost about
$30.88 in the fall.
Parking Permit
Deadline Soon
Fall parking permit requests
must be postmarked before July
31 and no later than August 4,
1978. Request forms must be
picked up in the Security Office.
Permits will go on sale there,
beginning August 14. Day
students must request an ap¬
plication form by mail. Only the
first 2500 requests will be mailed
an application, the next 500 will
be placed on a waiting list.
The Association for Computer
Machinery has been studying two-
year programs for several years
and PCC’s program will include
many of its recommendations.
Instructor Don Gruver has been
responsible for designing the
courses and preparing the
classroom material for the
VQcational program.

Pasadena City College moves
into the computer age this fall
when the school adds a new two-
year curriculum in data
processing.
The college has developed the
nucleus for the most complete
computer resource that could be
expected on a college level, ac¬
cording to James Tuedio,
supervisor of the Instructional
Computer Center (ICC). The
center is completely separated
from Computer Services, which
handles all administrative
processing in the R Building.
Located in the northeast corner
of D Building, the center houses a
brand new Hewlett-Packard 3000
mini-computer that will
ultimately handle 64 stations
simultaneously. The computer
has a tape drive and two disc
drives with 50 megabytes or 50
million characters each.
The center is also linked to
Caltech’s IBM computer which is
one of the most modern and
powerful available. Having access
to Caltech’s computer and library
is a distinct advantage. Students
will also have limited access to the
Burroughs computer in R
Building. This gives them ex¬
perience in working with three
different modern and
sophisticated types of computers.
The data processing approach
to computer sciences is a new
concept and will give students a
working knowledge of computer
hardware and software before
they go into programming and
analyzing.
