Campus Rummage Sale
To Yield Needed Funds
The PCC parking lot will take “We need help from friends of
on the look of the Paris Flea the Lancer Band, who wish to ex-
Market next Saturday when the
Lancer Band will start its fund¬
raising drive for the proposed
Hawaii tour with a rummage
sale.
The band is planning to travel
to the islands over spring vaca¬
tion, and needs money to make
the trip. The rummage sale will
be aided by the sale of baked
goods, pop corn, and punch, ac¬
cording to Mrs. Zella Marie Dali-
net, chairman of the Band Boost¬
ers Club committee.
This sale is a good chance to
get rid of some of the household
items that collect in closets, ga¬
rages and musty old corners.
All profits from the sale will go
to the band.
Film Series
Begins Soon
W. C. Fields, Road Runner, and
Li’l Rascals will hit PCC on
Thursday, March 19, in what is
hopefully the first in a series of
campus film programs sponsored
by the Freshman Class.
Three film shorts, including W.
C. Fields’ “The Pharmicist,” the
Li’l Rascals in “Bored of Educa¬
tion,” and a Road Runner cartoon
entitled “Beep-Beep” will be
shown free of charge in Harbeson
Hall during the noon break.
Later programs will carry a
small admission fee.
The films were arranged for
by a Freshman Class Council
committee under Mark Sullivan,
and are expected to leave some
time during the break for stu¬
dents to have lunch.
press appreciation for all the
hours it has spent through the
years in rehearsal and prepara¬
tion for their part is the official
band for the Tournament of Ro¬
ses, leading off the five and a half
mile parade each New Year’s
Day,” says Mrs. Dalinet.
The band needs approximately
$16,000 for the tour.
It will fly to Hawaii from April
6 to 10 and play for the GI’s on
R and R leave, at hospitals, high
schools, and culminate in a con¬
cert in the Waikiki Shell, accord¬
ing to Dr. Richard Coy, director
of the band.
The idea for the tour is not
new; the band made a similar
trip in 1968 and found it quite
rewarding and successful. Ac¬
cording to band officials, the rea¬
son for the trip is that the 1968
tour was in fact so successful
that they have been invited to
come back.
Any one having donations for
the sale is instructed to bring
them to the PCC Music Depart¬
ment on Sierra Bonita any time
before March 7.

The community is welcome on

Students Hurt Themselves by
Cutting Clusses Stutes Cline
at an International Open House
on Sunday, March 22 from 1 p.m.
to 5 p.m. in the Campus Center.
There will be continuous coun¬
try exhibits and variety programs
presented at 2 and 3:30 p.m. free.
Native cookies will be served.
This open house is presented to
give the foreign students here an
opportunity to thank the com¬
munity for its hospitality and as¬
sistance in learning about Ameri¬
ca.
The dining room will be sur¬
rounded with artifacts of the vari¬
ous countries. Some of the stu¬
dents will be dressed in native
costumes and play their own in¬
struments.
Everyone is welcome.
According to Glen Cline, dean
of student personnel services
(day), a student is only hurting
himself when he cuts a class. At¬
tending classes can make the dif¬
ference between passing and fail¬
ing.
It is the student’s responsibility
to make arrangements to make
up any work missed, so that he
will not have the absences count¬
ed against him, whether the ab¬
sence was due to illness or a class
excursion.
A recommendation for class
drop is completed by teachers any
time during the semester when
a student’s absences total more
hours than the hours for which
the course is scheduled in two
weeks of a regular semester.
There are cases where it would
be beneficial to the student to
continue on in a class even though
Navajo College To Be
Major English Project
By BOB OUZOUN1AN
Are you interested in helping
people? If so, there is a cause
well worth your time and atten¬
tion.
The English Activities Commit¬
tee is raising money and books
for the new Navajo Community
College in Many Farms, Ariz.
The college is in great need of
books, and the educational facili¬
ties are desperately needed for
these people. The English Depart¬
ment will gladly accept any books
available for donation.
Also, as “book of the semester,”
the committee and the English
Department recommends every
student read “Moment in the
Sun” by Robert and Leona Rie-
now. The book is "a report on the
deteriorating quality of the Amer¬
ican environment.”
The book will be discussed at
the “Teach In” to be held April
2. The main topic of the discus¬
sion will be the ecology of Ameri¬
ca and the re-establishment of
ecological balance within our
country.
“Have we become a nation of
people who would sell the sunset
if someone would put a price on
it? Do we want glory in wading
in wastes?” These and many
more probing, angry questions
are asked by the authors after
years of research, study, and
travel.
Students are urged to join the
committee and help sponsor these
activities. For additional informa¬
tion, contact Woodrow Ohlsen,
department chairman, 117C.
he hasn’t a chance of squeezing
more than a “D” grade out of it.
An illustration of such a case is
the male student with athletic
eligibility.
If he has gone through a full
semester, without missing one
class period, and receives a “D”
grade, he will be given the oppor¬
tunity of making it up in summer
school. This is not true in the
case of the student who drops a
class before the end of the semes¬
ter.
The student who never misses
a class period but still is flunking
the course may do well to drop
the class rather than earn a mini¬
mal grade.
“We won’t drop just for aca¬
demic reasons; there must be
other factors,” commented Cline.
It is up to each individual
teacher to submit a drop notice
if he feels there is a need for it;
it is not mandatory.
Freshman Class Council
Freshmen, do you want to take
an active part in what your
class is planning for you this
semester? If so, why not join
the Class Council? Applications
are now available upstairs in
the Campus Center. Various ac¬
tivities, such as free films for
the student body and a unique
kind of slave day, are in the
future plans of the Frosh Coun¬
cil. Help your class, freshmen.
WUS To Present
Requium for a Faith
World University Services
makes its spearhead effort for
publicity this Thursday at 12 noon
with its presentation of the or¬
deals of the Tibetan priest.
Filmed by the original founder
of WUS, the picture will be intro¬
duced by Miss Susan Pelliccini,
the organization’s representative
from San Francisco. Information
on the far-reaching activities of
this student-to-student commit¬
ment will be one of the first ef¬
forts of WUS to implement its
contacts on a junior college cam¬
pus.
WUS, formed in 1920, has been
serving the students of the world
for 50 years. It is now raising
funds to aid the Biafran students
in their higher education search.
Providing supplies, books, build¬
ings and teachers only when ask¬
ed has kept this service firm from
sinking into the abyss of service
organizations. Last year’s project
helped rebuild the University of
Skopje, Yugoslavia.
During the past 50 years the
WUS has been aiding students all
over the world. Through both
world wars, the organization gave
relief to students stricken by the
rigors of battle, supplying books,
medical help, and scholarships.
For the disinherited students of
the world finding themselves with¬
out citizenship status because of
political upheavals, the Student
Refuge Loan Fund was placed in
operation.
First aid was rendered to “dis¬
placed person” students of World
War II. Next, as a result of the
abortive 1956 Hungarian Revolt,
thousands of students fled that
country and received assistance
through the efforts of WUS.
$33 Million
for Jaycees
A $33 million increase in state
aid for California’s community
colleges would be provided by
companion bills, SB 250 and AB
415 by Sen. Clair Burgener of
San Diego and Assemblyman
Earle P. Crandall of San Jose.
The amount per full-time stu¬
dent would be raised from $643
to $718.
In a press release, Burgener
commented that the proposed lev¬
el would still be below the $801
per student “which is the state’s
current obligation to junior col¬
leges” under the Master Plan for
Higher Education.
