ed in the Campus Center.”

student use, and blazers.

ing where Robert Moses, chair¬
man of the Engineering and Tech¬
nology Department, initiated the
ground breaking.

John Madden’s resignation as
adviser to PCC Young Republi¬
cans prompted criticism this week
from YR President Mark Greg-
son.
“Some of us think that his ac¬
tion was a bit too extreme,” said
Gregson. He added that the resig¬
nation “came as a shock, partic-
NON-OFFICER members of the
group are Jim Bartley, Brian Ber
ger, Thomas Crawley, Frank East
man, Dwight Espe, Marvin Fibus,
Robert Jacksy, David Laidig, and
John Weingarten.
Honorary members, those with
classes to attend during meeting
periods, are Terry Worsdell and
Bruce Allen.
Of the 18 members on the board,
seven are new and 11 have been
on the board before. “We were
able to fill all of the applications
for the board,” comments Mike
Rache, board president.
Plans of the AMS Board include
a convention of the Southern Cali¬
fornia Junior College AMS groups
at Glendale College today.
HELD semesterly, the conven¬
tion will include clinics on the
subjects of: “How to be a Better
AMS President,” “How to Finance
AMS Activities,” and “What to Do
About Service and Social Func¬
tions.”
The subjects of “How to Pro¬
mote AMS on Campus” and “AMS
and AWS Functions” also will be
discussed.
Some time shortly after the
AMS convention, the AMS Board
will initiate the spring semester
Sweetheart Contest. All male stu¬
dents will be able to nominate
girls for the honor and the board
will pick the winner who will be
given recognition at a later date.
THE AMS-AWS Dance will be
held April 17 at the Campus Cen¬
ter. The theme will be “La Pa¬
risian.” Money for the event was
channeled into hiring a good band
instead of renting a hall for the
event.
Each year the AMS raises
money through the homecoming
queen contest for the AMS schol¬
arship, given out at the close of
the year.
This year the homecoming con¬
test yielded more than $600 for
the scholarship. “That is more
than enough,” stated President
Rache. “It’s the highest amount
we’ve ever had.”
ularly in the way he explained, or
tried to apologize for (it).”
THE YR president also took is¬
sue with the adviser’s parting
blast at the California YR leader¬
ship and convention resolutions.
Gregson termed the resolutions
passed by “one small faction” of
CYR as “not sufficient cause” for
Madden’s resignation.
Gregson made his comments in
a letter to the Courier (full text
on page two), in which he also
thanked Madden for his adviser-
ship during the PCCYR’s “diffi¬
cult years of infancy.”
Madden claimed, in his letter of
resignation, that his association
with the PCCYR’s lent support to
the state YR’s, and that he could
not “in good conscience” support
the policies of the state organiza¬
tion.
HE TERMED California Young
Republican leadership “dangerous
to the Republican Party in Cali¬
fornia and to Republicanism in
general,” and identified CRA con¬
vention resolutions with “greed,”
“bigotry,” and “economic anar¬
chy.”
Harold M. Beam now serves as
PCCYR adviser.
