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. At present, the most

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.

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.

cludes recruiting high school stu¬
dents at PCC, open house, visiting
day for Blair High School on
March 23, and Law Day and the

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

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.
