March-a- Thon
To Aid Many
A protest march in Glendale!
Students and adults will be
marching in protest on Saturday
morning, June 19.
A “March-A-Thon,” sponsored
by the March of Dimes, will fea¬
ture the theme “Protest with a
Purpose.” The funds secured by
the marchers will aid children
crippled by birth defects.
According to John Haman,
march chairman, the first group
of marchers will leave on the 20-
mile march at 7 a.m. and addition¬
al groups will leave up until 9
a.m. The start and finish will be
at Verdugo Park, 1621 Canada
Blvd.
Haman, vice president and man¬
ager of the Glendale office, Secur¬
ity Pacific National Bank, pointed
out that the march will give all
a chance to register a protest with
a purpose: to give an opportunity
to protest the apathy of those who
choose to ignore the danger sig¬
nals indicating that pollutants can
cause birth defects in humans,
and to protest that 250,000 Ameri¬
can babies are born with signifi¬
cant birth defects each year, with
over 10,000 of them here in LA
County.
Each participant will have spon¬
sors who will give a donation for
every mile completed.
Those who wish to march are
urged to phone 246-2528 any time,
day or night.

Subjects ranging from final
preparations for the PCC beach
party to a calling of a Supreme
Council meeting to invalidate the
recent ASB elections were discuss¬
ed at the Frosh-Soph Council
meeting last Thursday.
The Supreme Council, student
government’s equivalent of a su¬
preme court, will be requested to
convene to consider the validity
of the election if only 500 of 9000
daytime students cast ballots.

Pasadena City College moved
forward in expanding its services
to the community last Thursday,
with the groundbreaking for its
Paramedical and Sciences Build¬
ing.
The ceremony was held at the
corner of Sierra Bonita and Fran-
cisca streets, on a section of pave¬
ment as yet undestroyed by heavy
equipment, which has been clear-
Tom Puckett contends that such
a small percentage will not be
representative and that a re-
election should be held next fall.
Huntington State Beach will
be the site of the beach party
scheduled for 12 to 12 next Satur¬
day just before the beginning of
finals.

mg trees and old buildings from
the site since the previous Wed¬
nesday.
Speaking afterwards in Sexson
Auditorium, Dr. Leonard Fennin-
ger, associate director of Health
Manpower, HEW, said, “Although
there may have been periods in
man’s history when concerns for
man’s health were great, and
when questions of health and
health care were subjects of so¬
cial debate, to the magnitude that
exists today, certainly in the years
since WW II the interest in
health, the expectations of people
to keep healthy or to be made
well, when they have the misfor¬
tune to become ill, have risen with
great rapidity.”
Better Prepared
One product of this increase, he
pointed out, is the need for “more
and better prepared people, who
will be able to use the scientific
knowledge and technology (i.e.,
of the modern era) in maintaining
health and improving it, and in
comforting those who are ill.”
The doctor warned, however, of
the negative products of progress
and technology. One of the worst
of these, he pointed out, is in¬
creased demands upon the earth
and its resources.
“There is no question that if
we continue to make the kinds of
impatient demands of biology and
the systems in which it exists, and
has evolved, and if we continue to
measure our wealth only in terms
of the rates at which we can de¬
stroy the future, we shall indeed
not survive long.”
He is convinced, however, that

Last week’s Associated Student
Body elections, which saw a turn¬
out of just under 500 voters,
yielded the following results: ASB
president, Dennis Scott ; ASB vice-
president, Charles R. Wilson; ath¬
letic president, Mike Tilbury; and
Sophomore Class president, Dana
C. Ehlig.

science can also solve these prob¬
lems.
Dr. Mildred Montag, professor
of nursing education at Columbia
University, then took the podium
and reviewed the history of nurs¬
ing, particularly that of the Asso¬
ciate Degree Nursing Program,
of which the new facility will be
a part.
Program Begun in 1953
This program was begun in
1953, under the direction of Miss
Lillian Vosloh of PCC. It was mo¬
tivated by an attempt to deter¬
mine whether students could be
prepared in two years to function
as effectively as beginning staff
nurses. At that time, California
required three years of training
to accomplish this end.
The project proved such a great
success that California law was
changed to permit development of
two-year nursing programs. Plans
were laid to build upon these suc¬
cesses, and the new facility will
be one of the results.
College President Dr. Armen
Sarafian closed this portion of the
celebration with recognition of
various community leaders pres¬
ent, including many who had
helped bring the program to its
present state of development.
Booths had been set up in the
quadrangle by various depart¬
ments to demonstrate their offer¬
ings and functions. Tours of the
campus were conducted, and a
fashion show, film festival, in¬
terpretative readings and a con¬
cert presented on various parts
on the grounds.
Cost of the building is estimated
at around $5 million, and comple¬
tion is planned for 1973.
Under 500
According to outgoing ASB
President Paul Schwartz, these re¬
sults are not official until ratified
by the ASB Board; he expects no
significant controversy to arise.
As of Tuesday morning, votes
had not yet been tallied in the
“Teacher of the Year” election,
and a decision was believed forth¬
coming that they would not be
tallied because very few voters
made choices on this issue.

break ground for the new paramedical building, now being con¬

dust of a former parking lot, is scheduled for completion in 1973.
