PCC CouhieA, 17 PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA Red Cross /s Out for Blood: Yours By DON MARQUIS Circle K, a man’s service or¬ ganization here, will hold its an¬ nual blood drive tomorrow from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. in the Cam¬ pus Center. The clinic will be held in coop¬ eration with the American Red Cross, and the blood will be used by this charity organization to help in the emergencies for which it might be needed. The Red Cross is the largest blood bank in the world with whole blood, plasma, and other derivatives available at any time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Any students interested in giv¬ ing a single pint of blood, which, according to medical sources will not put the donor in any danger at all, should have signed up up¬ stairs in the Campus Center last week. Last year over 120 students participated in the drive, and so far this year over 60 conscientious students have signed up to give their blood. There is still plenty of room for more donors. There are several reasons why you might give your blood. First of all, your donation not only pro¬ tects you against further needs, but it also protects your family. Secondly, if the donor wishes, he can donate blood in the name of another person, thus providing him with the protection. For those students who think of money, there is also a good reason to give to the Red Cross. In order to get blood from the Red Cross free of charge, you must have given some blood at some time. Whole blood from any other source can cost as much as $65 per pint. There are very few require¬ ments for a student to give blood. First, a donor must be in good health. Secondly, the donor may not be pregnant and Anally, the donor must be at least 18 years old. If he or she is under 21, the donor must have written permis¬ sion of a parent or guardian un¬ less married or in the Armed Forces.

ASB Board Shows Concern Over Spending Without OK The ASB Board meeting on Feb¬ ruary 25 proceeded as usual with pleas for funds from various groups followed by heated discus¬ sions about how these funds would be spent. Of great concern was the prob¬ lem of clubs spending student body funds without Arst getting the board’s approval. An example that was brought to the board’s attention was the El Chicano con¬ cert. A contract for $1500 was signed for the concert without the board ever having seen it. The board stated that clubs are completely responsible for student body funds which they spend without the board’s approval. Some of the board members feel that money created by student ac¬ tivities should not leave the cam¬ pus, such as that collected from the Aim festivals, which goes to the Free Clinic. Jimmy Jones stressed that if spending and donating aren’t curbed, next year’s student body simply won’t have adequate funds. ICC requested the transfer of $750 from the assemblies account to theirs for the reimbursement of funds spent for a dance which assemblies was to have sponsored, but didn’t. ICC was only to have supplied manpower, not funds. Rick Ermshar brought up the point that there hadn’t been one Local Handicapped Students Shown Career Opportunities Last Tuesday PCC students played host to approximately 65 disabled young people from various local high schools, here to attend the Arst High School Special Education Day. Members of deaf, blind, orthopedically handicapped, and multiple handicapped classes, here to learn about job and work training oppor¬ tunities, arrived by bus at 9:30 a.m., met their hosts, and were greeted by President Armen SaraAan and ASB president Paul Schwartz. Parents and teachers were then conducted on a guided tour of the campus by Miss Fran Baldwin of the Department of Occupational Education, and John Young, head of occupational education for high schools, while the students spent the morning in classes of their choice. Those visitors who stopped in the Free Speech Area before lunching in the cafeteria were treated to the visceral vibrations of the Mojave Honey band. After lunch, participants in the program returned to Harbeson Hall, to be addressed by Stan Denadel, vice-president and general manager of the Los Angeles Data Processing Center of the Bank of America. Denadel, himself the occupant of a wheelchair due to a World War II combat injury, is chairman-elect of the Los Angeles Mayor’s Committee for Employment of the Handicapped, captain of the origi¬ nal Flying Wheels Wheelchair Basketball team, and recipient of the Helms Foundation Athlete of the Month award for his activities on that team. The day’s activities ended with the viewing of the Hughes Air¬ craft Aim, “Good People,” in which several handicapped persons described the ways in which they had overcome their Amitations and gone on to successful careers in various Aelds. assembly the entire Arst semes¬ ter, so there were undoubtedly such funds available. The John Goddard assembly was approved; $175 was designat¬ ed for that assembly. One hundred twenty-Ave dollars was put into an account for journ¬ alism. The money will be used to organize the Journalism Day pro¬ gram on March 23, which will in¬ clude journalists from other Pasa¬ dena schools as well as PCC stu¬ dents. The board also approved that booths could be set up in front of the cafeteria for collecting funds. These funds will be used to send a representative from PCC to Washington, D.C. to protest the draft. Petitions will also be available for students to sign in support of resistance to the present draft system.

Registration Changes To Affect Motorcycle Riders Beginning last Monday, most motorcycles being registered in California for the Arst time will be issued two license plate stick¬ ers — one for the year 1972 and one for the month of registration. The owner will be expected to pay re¬ newal fees on time during the an¬ niversary month in 1972 and each year thereafter. Department of Motor Vehicles Director Robert Cozens said a ALE Sets Sights on Community Service Alpha Lambda Epsilon, better known as ALE, has been over¬ looked on the PCC campus too long. To the new students and old familiar smiling faces, let us in¬ troduce ourselves. We are the po¬ lice science and law fraternity. We help supervise ASB elec¬ tions, assist at homecoming games, and bring interesting ac¬ tivities to the academic communi¬ ties. ALE’s goals are the creation of better student-public relations and service to mankind. Newly elected officers of ALE for the spring semester are Chuck Wyatt, president; Chuck Wilson, vice-president; Marie Harlow, sec¬ retary-treasurer; and Chris Ellis, sergeant-at-arms. Initiation was held last month and the following new members were admitted: C. Charlton, J. Fisher, G. Johnston, T. Wandala, L. Sabella, K. Wilson and M. Carey. Calendar of coming events in¬ cludes recruiting high school stu¬ dents at PCC, open house, visiting day for Blair High School on March 23, and Law Day and the law enforcement public relations program. There is no age limit for mem¬ bers. So whether you’re 18 or 30, you’re eligible to become part of the fun. Police science and law majors are urged to join the fraternity by contacting ALE adviser John L. Sullivan, in 208V, or officers of ALE at the Campus Center. system of round-the-calendar reg¬ istration renewals will be tried on motorcycles. If it works well, the State Legislature might extend the system to all California ve¬ hicles, ending the annual rush to beat the traditional February re¬ newal deadline. A vehicle code change made in 1970 authorized the DMV to begin such a staggered registration sys¬ tem for motorcycles, Cozens said. “It is a cautious approach to a question hotly debated by regis¬ tration officials: will the system replace one annual deadline panic with 12 monthly panics?” Owners of motorcycles subject to the new system will be mailed a renewal notice about 30 days before next year’s individual reg¬ istration deadline, and annually thereafter. The law allows them 30 days past the due date to renew without penalty. The deadline is exactly one year and one day after the vehicle was Arst registered and/or used in California. None of the 560,000 motorcycles already registered in California will be affected by the new sys¬ tem. Only new motorcycles and those whose owners turn in an out-of-state license plate for a California plate will be enrolled under the staggered registration system. A new type of motorcycle plate is being issued by the DMV. It bears two sticker indentations — one for the year and one for the month of renewal.
