Parking Chairman Explains
Future Plans for Facilities
OMD Awards Honors
Instructor John Dickerhoff, co-
chairman of the PCC Parking
Committee, explained last week
the administration’s plans for the
college parking facilities.
Beginning in the fall semester,
a $20 parking fee will be levied
on both students and faculty. The
funds will be used to provide
parking improvements and to pay
for more security personnel.
There is also hope of creating a
parking lot above the railroad
tracks to the north.
Says Dickerhoff, “There are no
plans now to purchase new land,
or recommend building a high-
rise parking structure. The ad¬
ministration felt we wanted to
give other kinds of things an op¬
portunity to manifest themselves,
which would relieve the parking
problem.”
One is the proposal by the Fac¬
ulty Senate for more equal sched¬
uling of classes to provide for
more equal distribution of cars
parked here. Also to encourage
more people to carpool and ride
bikes and motorcycles.
“As coming semesters show
how this works, then purchase
of more land and building of
higher facilities may be consid¬
ered. There are no plans for sale
of more parking permits than
there will be spaces available.
But they will be sold on a semes¬
ter basis, and will be available
for purchase around August first.
They will be in the form of
bumper stickers, front and rear.”
PCC STUDENT Senate winds up another ho-hum
semester of student government. Their apathetic

performance was matched only by the lack of
enthusiasm shown by the student body.

Questions Posed to
Eco-Minded People
By CAROL SMITH
A lot has been said about ecolo¬
gy; perhaps too much is being
said and not enough action.
The Courier has carried the
typical articles supporting eco-
minded people as well as the re¬
buttals criticizing such people for
their appearances, actions, and
idiocyncracies, that all men have.
People have become aware of
ways they can help our environ¬
mental problems. Pamphlets and
books have innundated our so¬
ciety with helpful household hints
for doing our part in the pollution
solution. Advertisers have jumped
on the bandwagon with their
“card-stacking” advertisements.
If all sincerely follow daily
habits in their homes that help
prevent pollution, all will not be
glorious. These people, however,
are to be commended for begin¬
ning this long journey to creating
a better environment.
Automobiles cause approxi¬
mately 90 per cent of the air pol¬
lution in the Los Angeles area.
Recycling has been promoted, yet
many paper mills claim that it
may take 20 years to construct
the necessary facilities for re¬
cycling centers.
The real job to save our en¬
vironment is a dull, somewhat
tiresome job. It is an attack on
industry through the proper
methods and channels. Ecolitics
does not involve the simplicity
of revising your shopping list.
It’s a tedious job of research,
reading, and joining ecological
organizations.
The people must become aware
of our officials’ viewpoints on en¬
vironmental problems and elect
officials that will support, en¬
force, and enact laws to protect
our air, land, and water.
Eco-minded students and all
students should ask themselves
the following questions to test
their awareness and interest in
our environment.
1. Are you active in any en¬
vironmental or conservation or¬
ganizations (such as PCC’s Ecolo¬
gy Action Club) ?
2. Are you a registered voter;
if so will pollution problems in¬
fluence your vote in the future?
3. Do you subscribe to or pur¬
chase any environmental maga¬
zines?
4. Are you aware of any eco-
minded authors?
5. What influence does business
have enacting laws?
6. Are you aware of what the
Environmental Defense Fund
(EDF) is?
7. What is your community’s
major environmental problem?
8. Are you aware of the con¬
servation directory compiled by
Jeanne Brown, librarian, at the
PCC Library?
9. Do you know who Ralph Na¬
der is?
10. Who is responsible for pol¬
lution?
The average student should be
able to answer the previous ques¬
tions with relatively no problem.
If you can’t your research hasn’t
even begun. If you can, there is
a great deal more to learn about.

Arledge Writes Open Letter
About CWSP Program
An open letter to all PCC stu¬
dents and interested persons:
All CWS students were notified
recently in a memorandum from
the Financial Aids Office that the
spring college work-study pro¬
gram will be terminated June 18.
Because of recently announced
restricted amounts of federal
monies awarded, there is to be no
summer CWSP at PCC this year.
That means students will be
without jobs, if enough support
is not generated in Congress to
pass a supplemental award of
federal funds. It means the pos¬
sible end of the CWSP.
It also means many students,
not only at PCC but on campuses
all across the country, will re¬
duce their hours or drop out of
college altogether.
This must not happen, and it
won’t if we do our part. Here is
how you can help: send a person¬
al, hand written letter or a card
to the following: U. S. Senators
Alan Cranston and John Tunney
(D), Senate Office Building,
Washington, D.C., 20510; Con¬
gressmen: 20th District Rep. H.
Allen Smith (R), 2433 Rayburn
Bldg., Washington, D.C., 20515; or
313 E. Broadway, Glendale, Calif.
91205; 24th District Rep. John

if. 91006.
