Glomb is to show evidence of how the

"That's because through meditation
they receive a deep quality of rest,
deeper than sleep, and this eliminates
a lot of strains and tensions." said
Glomb. "Meditators settle down with

Bus Shuttle
ASB Senate Plans Proposals
Lecture on Meditation
Scheduled This Evening
By Jill Boekenoogen
City Editor
The ASB Senate is requesting $32.000
from the Board of Trustees to support
a proposed bus shuttle system that
would begin in September. 1975. The
ASB has pledged an additional $20,000
that would he paid at the end of the
first year, with the initial $32.000
meeting the first year's expenses.
'The bus shuttle's purpose is to
alleviate the parking problem at l’GC
by letting students park in lots off
campus and then be bussed to campus.
The Senate has been looking into a
leasing arrangement «ith several bus
firms. .
The Senate's best lead has been
Kmbree Buses, a local company « hose
owner used to attend PCC. The terms
Kmbree gave the Senate «ere that
each bus would cost $7500 per year's
lease, with an additional $100 for
service. 'This service fee would take
care of maintenance, driver expenses,
insurance and all other operating
costs 'The Senate would be leasing
three buses starting in September.
The areas where students can park
their cars and from which the buses
«ill leave are the Rose Bowl parking
lot. the Sears parking lot and the
Public Social Service lot in Rosemead.
The Rose Bowl would serve
Pasadena area students, the Sears lot
would serve Sierra Madre and the
Rosemead lot would serve Rosemead
and FI Monte.
Fees to ride the shuttle bus have not
been set yet.' but the figure is around
$17. which is lower than parking
permits. Besides the lump fee paid at
the beginning of the semester, the
Senate is also considering a "pay-
when-you-ride" system.
"W e would like to get the cars off the
road." said Senate President Ralph
Champion, "but we welcome non¬
driving students, too."
At first the ASB will lease the buses
I oi' two months to see if student in¬
terest warrants the system, rather
than lose a great deal of money.
Champion also said that, if the pickup
areas do not meet the needs of
students, the system is flexible enough
to change.
Before setting any definite plans, the
Senate went to the students by way of a
questionnaire to see if the campus
would support the shuttle bus system.
The final tally showed that over 700
were in favor and less than 200 against.
Many students said on the question¬
naire they would be willing to pay
upwards of $35 to $40 for busing.
Champion, when asked if students
would be willing to give up the privacy
of Their own cars, said. "The
behavioral patterns of Americans
must he changed."
Summer Study Opportunity Offered
in Mexico City, Mazatlan, Merida
By Ernie Aldrich
Staff Writer
Would you like an opportunity to
study in Mexico this summer?
Instituto Cultural Tenochtitlan
(ICT), with its U.S. headquarters at
the University of Washington, offers
this chance.
According to Linda L. Hasten, PCC
anthropology instructor, “This
program gives the student a chance to
study in a foreign country and receive
1 2 quarter units or eight semester units
that are transferable anywhere.”
Miss Hasten. PCC program coor¬
dinator for ICT, became interested in
Mexico when she attended an Ameri¬
can Anthropological Association
meeting in Mexico City last Novem¬
ber. She returned to Mexico twice,
going to Mazatlan during semester
break and spring vacation.
She heard about ICT and approached
Stanley F. Gunstream, vice-president
for instruction and continuing
education, and Irvin G. Lewis, vice-
president for student personnel ser¬
vices. Both of these men had been
interested in curriculm expansion for
some time.
The ICT program offers the kind of
expansion they were looking for—
junior college student studies in a
foreign country. So. they decided to try
it on a trial basis.
"This year we will participate on an
individual professorial basis, but we
could expand to the level of depart¬
mental or institutional participation,"
said Miss Hasten.
Miss Hasten has taught at PCC for
four years. Prior to her arrival here
she earned her masters in anthroplogy
at UCLA. While there she met Carlos
Castenada, author of the Don Juan
books. She is listed this summer as an
alternate to teach Anthroplogy 315, a
seminar in the works of Carlos
Castenada.
She will also take Anthroplogy 410 —
Cross-Cultural Experience as Per¬
sonal Exploration.
The institute offers three fields of
study at three campuses. Courses in
social sciences, language-literature
and fine and applied arts are available
at Mexico City, Mazatlan and Merida.
The tuition for the session is $300.
Students may take up to 12 quarter
units for this fee. Room and board may
be arranged with a Mexican family for
$149 for the month or individuals may
make their own arrangements. If a
student takes one of the intensive
Davidson, Nursing Chairman, Retires
After 9 Years of Service to PCC
Bv-Clcophas GrilTin
Stall Writer
Ever have a dream come true? 'The
Paramedical Sciences Building at PCC
represented the fulfillment of a dream
lor Mrs. Joan Davidson, chairman of
the Nursing Department. Now Mrs.
Davidson is retiring from PCC after
nine years of service as an instructor
and department chairman
"Basically. I'm retiring for two
reasons - health, and the fact that I've
newer had time for myself. I've been in
nursing for 36 years and loved every
■minute of it. but now my husband and I
intend to do a lot of traveling and enjoy
life a little." Mrs. Davidson said.
Although she is retiring from PCC.
Mrs. Davidson «ill continue to serve
as consultant for nursing curriculum
at different colleges and programs.
She also intends to participate in many
community and church activities.
After receiving her Registered
Nursing License from Nashville
i Term. > General Hospital. Mrs.
Davidson graduated from San
Francisco State University in 1961 « ith
a B.A. in Nursing Education. She
studied for her
М.Л.
at Cal State Los
Angeles and graduated in 1966,
majoring in Health Education. Post
master's studies include Psychology
and Curriculum Framework at the
University of California at San
Francisco. Loma Linda University and
UCLA.
A noted author in nursing circles.
Mrs. Davidson published the "Concept
and Utilization of a Multimedia
Laboratory in Nursing Education" in
1972 through McGraw-Hill. In 1973.
Mrs. Davidson was presented the
"Outstanding Educators of America
Award."
Fulfillment of her dream
materialized «hen she authored the
"Project for Design and Equipping of
a Nursing School Building. Based on a
Conceptual Model for 'Teaching-
Learning." The result of that proposal
is the Paramedical Sciences Building
at PCC.
"1 worked « ith faculty and students,
and
«с
were able to put together a
dream." Mrs. Davidson said. 'The
nursing program at PCC has received,
national acclaim. Each
«сек,
faculty
groups from other colleges visit PCC
seeking portions of the multimedia
concept for their programs.
“The concept has an omni¬
directional approach, designed to fit
the pace of different learners." Mrs.
Davidson said. "When students learn,
thev should learn with all their sen-
sories. Some students learn better
touching, others visually, and still
others learn quicker utilizing audio.
The multimedia concept allows
instructors to hit every learner, so they
may learn as fast or as slowly as they
desire." Mrs. Davidson explained.
"Our faculty has grown in proportion
to the students; we no«' have 30 full¬
time faculty members."
What has been the effect of the
multimedia concept'.’ When the
Nursing Department was located in
Bungalow B. there «ere 81 students in
the class, 31 of whom graduated, less
than 50 per centrhe graduating class
this year had 137 students out of a class
of 150. over 70 per cent. According to
Mrs. Davidson. 10 of the 150 dropped
out lor personal reasons and «ill re¬
enroll.
"'The only regrets I have are
regarding administration." Mrs.
Davidson said. “Being an ad¬
ministrator doesn't allow you to
communicate « ith the students. 1 love
working for PUG and working «'ith the
faculty, but I'll miss the students most
of all.'"
Mrs. Davidson's retirement
becomes official in October. 1975.
Spanish classes, he is advised to stay
with a local family, where he would
use his Spanish.
Students are expected to provide
their own transportation to their
chosen campus. There is a reduced air
fare rate but students can take the
train or drive.
Miss Hasten is enthusiastic about
this program. "We are the only junior
college affiliate, with the exception of
Forrest Park City College in St. Louis,
Missouri. I also want to be sure that
people understand that all classes will
be given in English with the exception
of the Spanish classes.”
Board of Trustees
Rejects Buildings’
Remodeling Bids
An additional $700,000, increasing
the cost of remodeling 1), E and
К
buildings to $4.125.000 caused the PCC
Board of Trustees on May 29 to reject
all bids for the remodeling. Then they
reopened the project for bids from
other construction firms.
In order to receive about $300,000
from state construction funds, the
contract has to be granted by June 26
and the state office must approve the
change by June 30.
The cost increase made the bids
about 23 per cent higher than the
original proposal.
To bring down the cost of the
remodeling, about $1 million is ex¬
pected to be deleted from the project.
Air conditioning, however, is sure to be
included.
"We must have air conditioning in
К
Building, if it means the district has to
come up «ith the dollars." said Dr.
Armen Sarafian. PCC president.
Most changes in the remodeling « ill
"meet teaching needs in terms of
walls. We re reducing the quality, but
retaining the essence of the
educational plan. Everyone has to
make some sacrifices." said Howard
Morgridge. a representative of the
architectural firm of Powell.
Morgridge. Richards & Coughlin.
Revised costs submitted to the board
by Morgridge 's firm break the project
down into separate cost categories,
one each for I>. E and
К
buildings. 'The
revised analysis shows funds available
lor construction covering the costs of
construction for D and E buildings,
after omitting sandblasting and stucco
on the exterior, all casework not
deleted previously in both buildings,
all carpeting in I) Building and all
chalk and tackboard not already
cancelled in E Building.
The revised figures for
К
Building
show the cost of construction running
higher than the funds available.
