Vol. 34, No. 19 Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California March 22, 1972
Money Biggest Topic
of ASB Board Meet
The ASB Board conducted an
orderly, decisive meeting last
week.
Of the 11 proposals discussed,
two were indirectly concerned
with the uncertain assemblies sit¬
uation, three with minor expense
appropriations, and six were on
various other situations.
The biggest expenditure was
granted to MECHA for its “Cin-
co de Mayo” activities. After
lengthy debate between proponent
Gerry Kuehner, the AMS presi¬
dent, and cautious Finance Com¬
missioner Bob Held, the Board
awarded MECHA a $350 grant for
speakers invited and a $350 loan
for entertainment.
Because of the unresolved sit¬
uation concerning the assemblies
commissioner, Freshman Class
President John Conroy requested
that either a new commissioner
be appointed or an approved
schedule of future events be post¬
ed, listing the availability of de¬
sired locations.

Series Theme
The candidates, conventions, is¬
sues, primaries and historical
background making up this year’s
election scene will be the subject
of a series of 10 exhibits which
will be available for viewing in
the PCC Library.
The exhibits will be made up
of 10 color-sound filmstrips which
are being prepared by NBC News.
They will contain not only infor¬
mation on the issues and candi¬
dates of current importance, but
will also provide a historical view
of the electoral process.
The first filmstrips in the series
are now available for viewing in
the Library. The next films will
arrive on a regular basis between
now and November.
All students and faculty are
welcome to view the series.
that “the fiasco (concert) of two
weeks ago” cost the ASB fund
$813.13 with possible returns of
$295.06 if pending checks are
honored.
Steve Goldman, Senate presi¬
dent, moved that a closed session
be held during the next meeting
so that the fate of one of the other
commissioners can be resolved.
To avert a recurrence, ASB

YWCA Has Jobs
for Students
Need a job? The Pasadena-
Foothill Northwest YWCA needs
help and would like to hire stu¬
dents from PCC. They are in
need of people to fill jobs of every
kind, and these jobs are open
now. You don’t have to wait for
summer to roll around.
Students who are on the college
work-study program are eligible
for these openings. You must be
able to work from 15 to 20 hours
per week. The YWCA also prefers
that the applicants be from the
Foothill and Altadena area.
Some of the jobs that are avail¬
able are in the “Drop in Swim”
and “Mother-Child Swim” pro¬
grams. There is also a position in
the Ethnic Studies Program.
Counselors are needed for the two
different day camps which are
available at the YWCA.
Counselors, teachers, assistants
and supervisors are also needed.
These people would work in some
of the other programs, one of
which provides services to senior
citizens, especially those who are
visually handicapped. There is
also a program of college coun¬
seling for those students who are
still in high school.
If you are interested in any of
these employment opportunities,
contact Miss Jean Kuykendall at
795-5171, from 9 to 12 on Mon¬
days, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
and 12 to 5 on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
ed to have the Board vote approv¬
al for contracts over $30. The
motion died in silence, as no one
would offer a second.
Minor expenses were allocated.
Kuehner’s $4.62 appropriation for
a life-time pass to all ASB func¬
tions for the ASB president was
approved, as were Conroy’s re¬
quests for funds to cover the cost
of handbills publicizing Politics
Week, and funds to purchase sta¬
tionery with Freshman Class let¬
terheads. The latter was classi¬
fied is a long term loan.
Of other concerns, Miss Cor¬
dova reminded everyone of last
Friday’s Shamrocks for Dystro¬
phy campaign; Denny Meehan,
the Ecology Commissioner, urg¬
ed that next semester’s student
office holders reserve the 12 to
1 p.m. hour on their schedules for
meetings.
Betty Knight, AWS president,
made the last request, seeking to
guarantee a 12 o’clock finish of
future meetings so that she could
be on time for her AWS meetings.
The futility of such a guarantee
was pointed out, as only a clair¬
voyant could determine future
matters of business and necessity
of time.
Deaf Students
Get Together
The United Deaf Students Un¬
ion (UDSU) met last Thursday
and discussed plans to support a
proposed college for the deaf at
California City. The college would
be staffed and run by the deaf and
for the deaf, and would meet the
special educational needs of the
deaf.
Mrs. Fran Baldwin, director of
Services for Handicapped Stu¬
dents, revealed her plans to hire
Miss Pam Brown, an experienced
teacher of the deaf, to tutor and to
assist PCC’s deaf and hard-of-
hearing students in overcoming
their own special learning prob¬
lems. There are plans for Miss
Brown to teach full-time, next
fall, a credit course in English for
the deaf.
For those students interested,
UDSU meets Thursday’s at noon
in R121. Drop in on a meeting
and find out what’s going on.

Broadcast Awards
Won by KPCS Radio
Ted Ziedses der Plantes’ “Jazz Heritage” and two baseball broad¬
casts mark the latest charges in KPCS-FMs program schedule.
“Jazz Heritage,” an award-winning musical documentary, is aired
at 8 p.m. on Wednesday evenings.
The beseball game with Long Beach was heard March 16, and
El Camino on March 21.
KPCS-FM is the college radio station that broadcasts at 89.3 mh
at 4000 watts, enabling reception throughout the Los Angeles basin.
Excluding specials, the station is on the air from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Monday through Friday. Until 7 p.m. a wide variety of music is
offered to the listeners by the student disc jockeys. Jazz, pop, folk, and
classical music make up the regularly scheduled programming as a
variation listed as “Jobs Unlimited” which offers employment infor¬
mation at 5 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Then, from 7 to 10 p.m., pre-recorded educational programs from
the Public Broadcasting System are featured. These include “Jazz
Revisited” with Hazen Schumacher on Thursdays; William F. Buck¬
ley’s “Firing Line” on Tuesdays and Thursdays; and “Keyboard Im¬
mortals Play Again” on Mondays and Fridays, in which re-creations
of actual recordings by Strauss, Debussy and Rubinstein can be
heard.
Students interested in broadcasting should see Miss Harriet Van
Osdel at the Counseling Center and should know that courses in an¬
nouncing and in history of the fundamentals of radio must be com¬
pleted before admission to the staff.
The proficiency obtained after admittance is illustrated by KPCS-
FM’s success at the recent competition in San Francisco sponsored
by the Association of West Coast Broadcasters.
KPCS-FM won two “Best of the West” awards in the eight cate¬
gories. None of the other 45 stations entered won more than one
award. In addition to “Jazz Heritage,” Howard Kutzly and Peter
Schofield collaborated to produce “Gone the Rainbow,” the anti-drug
category prize winner.

McCollum
at Senate
Dale McCollum, in charge of
PCC’s Equal Opportunities Pro¬
gram, was the guest speaker at
last Tuesday’s Senate meeting.
McCollum told the student sen¬
ators that not enough students
were using the EOP program. Tu¬
toring is a part of the program,
and all PCC students may use the
program for tutoring in classes
they are having difficulty in. The
program is free.
Tutors are also needed. They
are paid $2 an hour. Students in¬
terested in either being tutored
or in tutoring should go to C264.
Steve Goldman, Senate pres-
dent, invited all students to use
the newly formed gripe commit¬
tee. If students have a gripe, they
should contact Goldman or any
other Senate officer.

A dance, a lecture and a concert
head the list of reasons for stu¬
dents to spend more time at PCC
this week. Two of the events will
take place during regular school
hours, and the other will be held
Friday evening.
Tomorrow the Free Speech
Area of the campus will be the
center of activity when the Ecolo¬
gy Action Club presents Pasadena
City Director Robert White, who
will discuss the illegality of the
new Pasadena Freeway construc¬
tion.
White bases his opinion of the

Soviet art is on display March
10 through April 5 at the Los
Angeles Municipal Art Gallery.
The gallery hours are from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through

mission is $1 for adults and 50
cents for those 18 years and
under. Tuesdays and Wednes¬
days are free days.
work on the provisions of the
National Environmental Policy
Act, which sets guidelines for the
use of public lands.
The discussion will begin at
12:30.
Immediately preceding the lec¬
ture during tomorrow’s noon hour
will be a free concert presented
by the Freshman Class Council.
The concert will feature Wilkins
Street, one of the bands being fea¬
tured in Friday night’s concert.
This will be followed by a meet¬
ing of the Frosh Council in 211
in the Campus Center.
Friday night Wilkins Street will
be joined by Madcap in a dance
presentation in the upstairs Cam¬
pus Center. The 8:00 dance will
be a benefit performance for the
newly established Freshman Class
Scholarship Fund. Admission is
$1.
Future events being planned for
PCC include Politics Week, April
10 to 14 and Cinco de Mayo, which
will be held on May 5 (naturally).
More details of these and other
activities coming up at PCC will
be printed in the Courier as they
become available.
If you are a PCC student who
is having financial difficulties,
run, don’t walk, to the Financial
Aid Center in C236 and see about
receiving help.
The center provides financial
assistance (in the form of loans,
jobs, or grants) to students who
need it; and because of the limit¬
ed funds and high demand for
these services, it is advised that
you waste no time in seeking help.
Applications for fall will be ac¬
cepted in April.
Short-term loans are available
to students who need money to
buy books. These loans carry no
interest charge, but they must
be repaid at the end of the se¬
mester. More substantial long¬
term loans are available at low
interest rates and may be repaid
over periods as long as 10 years,
beginning nine months after the
completion of college.
Jobs are available to full-time
students from low income fami¬
lies, and are usually related to the
student’s vocational or education¬
al goals. The student receives
money for his services while re¬
ceiving valuable experience by
working on a job that is related to
his future plans.
Grants are given to students
from low income families and
range from $200 to $1000 a year
in most cases. The Nursing Schol¬
arship Program offers up to $1500
per year to student nurses who
are from low income families.
No repayment is required for
a grant, but the student’s finan¬
cial need must be exceptional.
Before certain groups start
grumbling about our “socialist-
welfare state,” remember that
much of the money given out is
repaid in time, and that money is
given only to those who genuine¬
ly need it.
PCC’s Financial Aid program is
a vital student service, reaching
out to those who need help.
To Attack Smog
The PCC branch of People’s
Lobby, Inc., will present the first
of the “Thursday Aftemnoon
Come In out of the Smog” film

morrow from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m.
in Harbeson Hall.

time movie, “Monkey Business,”
featuring the Marx Brothers.
There will be a different movie
each week from now until the
end of the semester.
Students attending the films

Lobby at the door. All proceeds
will go to the campaign for Propo¬
sition 9, the Clean Environment
Act. This initiative measure will
be on the June 6 primary ballot.
