Classrooms Completed for
Robbins Building Occupancy
The new five-story classroom
complex will soon be ready for
occupancy as the fined touches
are added. The structure is the
first unit of the new Catherine
J. Robbins Building.
Classes in business, cosmetolo¬
gy, dental assisting and nursing
will transfer to the new building
during Easter vacation. An audio¬
visual center for the campus will
also be located in the building.
The contractors, now making
last-minute corrections, are hav¬
ing difficulty keeping curious stu¬
dents from getting in their way.
The administration has requested
all students to stay out of the
new building until after Easter.
The structure marks several
firsts on the PCC campus. Com¬
pletely air conditioned units and
elevators add to its modern fea¬
tures. Other striking features are
exterior corridors and the lack of
windows.
The construction cost of the
first half of the Robbins Building
is approximately $1,707,830.
The western half of the building
is in the planning stage; construc¬
tion will begin early in July. The
second half will be of the same
type construction and will neces¬
sitate the removal of F and A
buildings.
Plans to demolish the A Build¬
ing may have to be delayed for

ASB activities are reaching a climax with the implemen¬
tation of several proposals which will not only make the ASB
cards more valuable, but will also help solve the parking prob¬
lem. The ASB Board is expected in the next few weeks to
formally announce discount rates _
partment moving from its off-
campus quarters.
The need for classroom space
may force the administration to
move the A Building out of the
way of the construction and use
it until the second increment of
the Robbins Building is com¬
pleted.
on merchandise to ASB card hold¬
ers from many local merchants.
Steve Scott, ASB president, has
been working on this plan since
he took office in February. It
would provide card holders with
discounts, probably up to 10 per
cent, from merchants in Pasadena
and the surrounding area.
It is Scott’s and the ASB
Board’s feeling that before ASB
card sales will increase, the value
must be increased and/or the
price must be lowered. The Sen¬
ate is now investigating these two
factors.
The Senate-sponsored car pool
will swing into action today and
last until March 30.
The front of the Campus Cen¬
ter will be the setting of the car
pool rush table between the hours
of 11 and 1 p.m. Information
about a ride or forming a car pool
in your area will be available.
Established last semester, the
car pool’s purpose is to create a
service to students by alleviating
the parking problem. The system
will be self-service. Anyone de¬
siring information should contact
the Senate office in the Campus
Center, or inquire at the Campus
Center tables.
The area surrounding PCC will
be mapped and divided into seg¬
ments and numbered. The student
will then place the card in the
proper drawer in the file cabinet
under his residenec area.
Several recommendations that
came out of last Thursday’s Board
meeting are now in committee.
Tim Overlock, sophomore presi¬
dent, suggested that the cafete¬
ria staff study the possibility of
charging a deposit of 10 cents
to each students who takes out a
tray. The money would be re¬
turned when the tray was re¬
turned to a receiving window.
The big money allocation of the
week will benefit the Lancer
Band. The musicians received
$1000 to travel to Vancouver to
participate in an annual festival.
