All Transferring
Soph Award Winners Named
Sophomores planning to attend a
four-year university have been
awarded scholarships from
organizations ranging from the
Altadena Kotarty Club to the
Pasadena Officers' Wives Club and
Bank of America.
The upper division winners of the
College Entrance Examination Board
(CEEB) are Thomas G. Carter, Jr.,
Sylvia Fitch, Beverly R. Fletcher, Jo-
Helen L. Mobley, Darrell A. Payne,
Lupe M. Vela and Jo Nell Wright.
CEEB winners will have up to 50 per
cent of all college costs paid for.
The four PCC Bank of America
winners are Dorothy Krinke, a
business major; Theresa Mattijetz, a
secretarial major; Elizabeth Pyler, a
biology major; and Ellen Weier, an
English major.
Miss Weier also had the distinction
of being a participating finalist in the
Bank of America competition. She
received $250 at a recent banquet at
the Los Angeles Hilton.
The PCC Faculty Association, which
awards an annual .scholarship to an
Deena Dominguez, KPCS Engineer
of the Year, Hired by Station KFI
Deena Dominguez, telcom major
and KPCS 1975 Engineer of the Year,
was hired as an engineer last week by
KFI. She is the first woman to be hired
in this position by the radio station.
Miss Dominguez, 23, has been
programmer of the KPCS Subsidiary
Communications Authorization
channel (SCA) for the past semester
and was completing her third semester
at PCC when offered the professional
job.
At KFI Miss Dominguez operates the
mixing board for the announcers, who
include Dave Hull and Dick Sinclair.
Eventually Hudson & Landry, and
Loman and Barkley will be added.
Other duties at the highly rated
middle-of-the-road music station will
be putting on records and com¬
mercials, production assistance, and
splicing and editing tape.
The job opportunity arose when KFI
was searching for a qualified engineer
with a Spanish surname. KWKW, a
Spanish radio station in Pasadena, was
approached first, but could not
recommend anyone. They in turn
called Ken Johnson, PCC faculty and
chief engineer of KPCS, who recom¬
mended Miss Dominguez.
After three interviews, one with
KFI's chief engineer Bernie Kolvas,
and two with studio controller Joe
Dwyer, Miss Dominguez was asked if
she would like to work for KFI.
“Being a woman didn't hamper my
chances,’’ commented Miss
Dominguez, president of College
Women in Broadcasting.
"If you really want a job and are
sincerely interested and qualified,
then you can achieve it."
During her years at Arroyo High
School, Miss Dominguez would spend
time at a local recording studio,
Standell. where she first became in¬
terested in record engineering.
Alter graduating, she went to
La Verne College and PCC for one
semester each, then enrolled at the
National Institute of Communications
in Hollywood to study broadcasting.
There she learned to write news and
commercial copy, edit tapes, and
operate a mixing board.
Six months later. Miss Dominguez
went to the Institute of Audio Research
in New York where she earned a
certificate in studio technology.
At that point. Miss Dominguez knew
what she wanted to do, but was not
quite sure how to go about it. She then
decided to go to Europe. She worked at
Aire London Recording Studio in
London for six months.
After six more months of traveling
and soul-searching, a shortage of
money and winter approaching, she
returned to Los Angeles.
Shortly following her return. Miss
Dominguez got her third class radio
operator license, then enrolled at PCC
lor the spring semester of 1974.
The PCC radio station took ad¬
vantage of Miss Dominguez being an
advanced telcom student, and put her
to work as the chief engineer last fall.
Miss Dominguez attributes key
inspiration and encouragement to
follow her goals to Ken Johnson. "He
takes sincere personal interest in his
students."
Her future plans are to graduate
from PCC this spring, pursue her job
at KFI and continue to learn enough
technical and creative knowledge to
ultimately own her own recording
production studio.

Bus Plan May
Begin This Fall
A shuttle service to PCC from
outlying parking lots could indeed be
initiated next semester, announced
ASB President Ralph Champion in
Wednesday's brief, concluding session
of this ASB Senate.
"We have tentative approval from
the Board of Trustees to try a three-
month trial program starting in
September,” Champion told his
audience.
The plan, as it now stands, would
charge students $17 per semester for
shuttle privileges. This is less ex¬
pensive than PCC parking permits and
more convenient than enduring a pre¬
dawn vigil to obtain one
One-way fare would be only 10 cents
which, one Senate member hastened to
point out, "undersells RTD. even with
student discount cards."
"The more students we have, the
less expensive it will be,” Champion
said. Senate members have been in
contact with area bus companies and
so far Embree Company has made the
most attractive offer, but other
companies will be contacted.
No schedules have been established
and will not be until the pilot system is
discussed at the June 19 Board of
Trustees meeting. Champion urges
interested students to attend the 7:30
mooting.
available for fee classes only, should
submit a check or money order with
the form found in the summer schedule
booklet.
Registration fees should be mailed to
the College Bank Services by June 16.
Leonard J. Dionisio, supervisor of
the program, said that individuals
participate in adult education with a
“personal interest in learning.” He
added that although these classes are
similar, their depth is not nearly as
great as those of the regular credit
courses.
Further information on the program
may be obtained by calling 578-7261.
Prism Now
on Sale
Prism Magazine, a new publication
of the journalism division, dedicated to
presenting the highlights of 1974-75 at
PCC, is on sale now, according to
editor Marilyn Fisher.
The
magazine, which
published yearly,’
education major, selected Laurie
Muscat as this year's scholarship
recipient.
Altadena Exchange Club members
voted David Hotchkin and Debra
Kikkawa as their two scholarship
winners for 1975. Steven C. Croft and
Thomas G. Pepitone, both veterans
returning to college, were given

Wives Club.
American Legion handed its annual
awards to Margaret Duncan, a speech
major; and Gary Kvisler, a business

A product of Pasadena schools, he
graduated from PCC in 1931. Active in
student activities while in school, he
was student body president, a member
of the track team and a cheerleader.
After graduation from Stanford
University in 1933, Mr. Scott went into
business. He retired recently as an
executive with the Equitable Life
Insurance Society of the United States.
Civil activities played an important
part in Mr. Scott's life. In addition to
his work with the PCC alumni group,
he was treasurer of the Pasadena
Republicans Club.
Services in his memory were held
last Thursday. A James O. Scott
Memorial Scholarship Fund has been
established at PCC in his honor.
Family members said that monies in
the fund are for alumni as well as for
currently enrolled students.

highlights of the 1974-75 school year at
PCC in feature articles and
photographs. Featuring a four-color
cover and 104 pages, the publication is
selling for $1 in the PCC Bookstore, the
journalism offices (B Bungalow) and
various booths on campus.
“I think the staff has done an ex¬
cellent job with the magazine, con¬
sidering this is the first time
something of this nature has been tried
here," said Miss Fisher. “We've
hopefully succeeded in showing a
representative cross-section of the
whole campus.
"From sports and drama to politics
and pinball machines, in pictures and
text, there is something for everyone
in the book." Miss Fisher is careful to
point out that Prism is not a “year¬
book" and does not publish mug shots
of every student. “Past experience has
shown that students at the college level
do not have the same interests in a
yearbook as their counterparts in high
school," the editor said.
"Prism is. therefore, an attempt to
provide an interesting, informative
and sometimes humorous publication
for the junior college.” .
Aside from providing a quality
publication for the campus, the new
magazine serves as a practical
training tool for journalism students.
According to Miss Fisher, magazine
journalism is a popular field in mass
communications, but up until now the
PGG curriculum has provided minimal
instruction in this area.
“A student who has worked for a
semester or a year on the Prism staff
is well versed in interviewing, writing,
photography, layout and design,” said
Miss Fisher. "Having worked in the
actual production of such a magazine,
these students will have the upper
hand when it comes to employment.”
Parking Permits

September 8, 9, 10
Free parking permits are available
at the Security office for the summer
sessions. One permit is good for both
sessions. Students may obtain their

applications per day, stamped and
numbered, will be distributed for three
days. On the fourth day 300 applica¬
tions will be handed out. Distribution
will be on September 8, 9 and 10 at 7
a.m. and September 11 at 10 a.m. in
t’(’108A.
After obtaining your numbered
application you may purchase your

Barking office, CC108A, between the

the list of graduates.
Also participating will be cq-valedic-
torians Cynthia Miller, Kar-La F.
Schockman, Diane Nishimura, Kath¬
leen J. Meymarian, Kathleen Jo
Koltze, Joyce K. Makihara, Patricia L.
Phillips and John R. Walls.
Because of the number of co-valedic¬
torians, only Mrs. Miller will speak.
She was elected by her co-valedic¬
torians. All valedictorians earned 4.0
grade point averages.
Other participants include Gary
Kvisler, Sophomore Class president;
Robert Carter, Faculty Senate presi¬
dent; Dr. Armen Sarafian, PCC presi¬
dent; and Robert Considine, Board of
Trustees president.
Music will be provided by the Lancer
Band and the Concert Choir, with
Ronald Hoar as director and Lawrence
Wong as featured pianist.
A reception honoring the graduates
will be held after the ceremony in the
Quad. Later, the Sophomore Class is
sponsoring a party in the Campus
Center from 9 p.m. to midnight. Caps
and gowns may still be picked up in the
Campus Center lounge upstairs. Night
school students may pick up theirs
today through Wednesday, 7 to 9 p.m.
Students who have not ordered caps
and gowns may still participate. “I
invite them to wear dark suits or
dresses," said John Eikenbery, dean
of student activities, in charge of
commencement services. “We never
keep anyone out because he doesn't
order a cap and gown. There’s nothing
sacred about a cap and gown."
Dean Eikenbery said that the reason
the ceremonies are held on the front
lawn is that “having them on a football
field or in an auditorium is too
reminiscent of high school.” Noise on
Colorado Boulevard creates a
problem, but after the street is
rededicated to the city of Pasadena, it
is expected the street could be
barricaded. It is now a state highway.
Friends and families of graduates
are invited to attend the exercises and
the reception afterward.

Circle
К
Voted
Club of 1975
By Alyce Minsky
Staff Writer
Circle J< was voted most outstanding
club of the year at the first awards
ceremony of the Inter-Club Council
( ICC ) last week. The seven other clubs
participating were Filipiniana Club,
Jr. Litho Club, MECHA, Spartans,
Adelphians, College Women in Broad¬
casting and Junior Executives.
Phyllis ('. Jackson, Dean of Women
and ICC adviser, explained some of the
criteria for the outstanding club
award, and received an “overall”
award herself for her many services to
the campus.
Each club is judged on how closely it
follows its constitution and, club pur¬
pose and for its participation in ICC
events and the OMD Carnival. Each
must submit a report of its activities
and accomplishments to ICC.
These reports are scrutinized by a
committee of their peers, which then
decides which club is eligible for the
award. On the basis of their reports,
each club is given a score, with 140 as
the highest possible. Circle
К
came the
closest with 138.
The awards were presented by ICC
president Joe Fisbeck in the Campus
Center lounge, at what he hopes will be
an annual event. Two plaques, one for
the club and one for display by ICC in
the Campus Center, were accepted by
Circle K's president, Mark Lucas.
Also presented were trophies for the
winners of the volleyball tournament
which was held last week, with major
clubs participating. The championship
wen^ to the Filipiniana Club, with
Circle
К
coming in second.
Certificates of recognition were
awarded to various officers of the ASB,
ICC, Student Senate and the ad¬
ministrators involved in student ac¬
tivities.
