Chiller Plant, 'C Revamping
Involved in Year Program
PCC again faces occupation by
an army of workmen as the long-
awaited remodeling and air-con¬
ditioning program gets underway.
The main feature of the pro¬
gram wih be the installation of
air-conditioning ducts for C Build¬
ing and the Library, plus the con¬
struction of a central chilling
plant, capable of eventually serv¬
icing the entire campus.
In addition to cooling off the,
affected buildings, the system will
replace the inefficient and some¬
times noisy heat radiators now
used in C Building.
Other modifications will include
expanding Sexson Auditorium’s
stage space. The Little Theater
will be remodeled, receiving a
new main entrance in the alley-
way.
Class space in C Building will
be reduced in favor of more offi¬
ces and an enlarged board room.
In addition, the currently unused
third floor will be converted to
office and laboratory space.
Preliminary alterations for a
future closed circuit television
system will be made.
A later program will remodel
the Library and add D and E
buildings to the new air-condi¬
tioning network.
Progress?
Like most progress, the new
construction will cause temporary
inconveniences. The contractors,
Coastate Builders of Long Beach,
have already set aside the faculty
parking lot east of C Building
for a storage yard, closing 55
parking spaces for the next 18
months.
Although Library parking will
probably not be occupied until
summer, the chiller plant, to be
built next to the existing boiler
house, will permanently knock
out another 55 spaces starting in
a few weeks.
Only staff parking will be af¬
fected, but the stranded drivers
will be dumped into the already
tight battle for space in the stu¬
dent lots. Some faculty members
are now taking long walks to
their cars, while others have ta¬
ken to riding bicycles.
The problem has not gone un¬
noticed. Added staff parking is
available west of the Women’s
Needs, Wants, Fears:
Multi-Dimensional Man
By LYNNE BIANCO
Get down to the gut level. What
do you really feel — loneliness,
hate, fear, hostility? Who or what
causes these feelings and why? Is
it just you alone or does your
neighbor share the same needs?
Man has many faces. When
deeply probed he becomes fasci¬
nating. Too few of us, however,
are able to extract any meaning¬
ful data. Perhaps this is why the
existing lecture series on psycho¬
logical man is such a rare oppor¬
tunity.
Dr. Edward J. Stainbrook, fam¬
ed chairman of the Department
of Psychiatry at the USC School
of Medicine, is currently present¬
ing a series of four free lectures
entitled “Multi-Dimensional Man.”
Dr. Stainbrook examines hu¬
man nature — man’s needs, mo¬
tives, wants and fears. We’ve all
felt lost, lonely, or out of it at
some time in life and we’d like
to know why.
“The Experience of Alienation,”
second in the series, wifi deal
with these feelings. It will be
given at the Pasadena Public Li¬
brary lecture hall tonight at 7:30.
Following on April 9 will be
“The Psychedelic Society,” and
on April 23 “The Climate of Vio¬
lence.”
The library is located at 285 E.
Walnut St., and parking is avail¬
able. Admission is free and the
lectures penetrating.
Acquaint yourself with the
many faces of man — his masks
are yours.
Gym, and part of the southeast
lot may be reserved for compact
cars.
A similar “compact only” sec¬
tion in the northeast lot fits 91
small cars into rows that could
hold only 75 standard-sized cars.
Studies show that over 50 per cent
of student cars are compacts.
Long-Range Plans
There are additional long-range
plans for parking expansion.
Work on the auditorium area
wifi begin as soon as possible,
progressively shutting down in¬
creasing portions of C Building.
Many administrative offices will
be relocated by April 6.
In May, classes in rooms 125,
131, 135, 141, and 145C will be
moved out of the east wing, and
others will have to be rescheduled
for June finals.
By the end of the semester on
June 19, the entire C Building
will be closed. Only the photogra¬
phy lab and a few offices will re¬
main open for summer school.
In the summer, administration
offices will shift to the faculty
and student dining rooms, which
are usually closed then. C Build¬
ing should be back to normal by
September, although the new air-
conditioning system will not op¬
erate until January.
Over $2.1 million has been set
aside for the project, more than
half of which will be spent on
C Building alone. Two-thirds of
the original estimate will be paid
by the state, with district shares
paying for the rest.

ID Cards and New
Laws from the DMV
Spring Library Hours
PCC’s Library will be open dur¬
ing Spring Vacation on the fol¬
lowing schedule: Monday
through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. Closed Friday.
Since the beginning of the year,
persons 18 years or older have
been eligible to apply for ID cards
from the Department of Motor
Vehicles.
Now Californians have their
choice of two wallet-size docu¬
ments to display when they need
to prove who they are: a driver’s
license if they drive, or an identi¬
fication card if they don’t.
Destruction of Environment
Target of PCC Ecology Club
The destruction of man’s en¬
vironment, one of the most press¬
ing problems of the new decade,
has been the target of a nation¬
wide campaign which has now
Resource Center
Aided by State Funds
If you need money or tutoring,
or tend to find yourself bogged
down in admission hassles or Col¬
lege Handbook double talk, then
take heart: Sacramento is coming
to your aid.
Through the Alquist Bill (SB
164), state funds are being used
to establish a Student Resources
Center, located in 111R.
Its purpose is to help you, the
student, cut through admission
and financial aid red tape, dig
through the mysteries of the col¬
lege catalogs, find tutoring for
those tough courses, and in gen¬
eral, get you on your way to that
great golden job or university in
your future.
The following guidelines are for
interested students: they need not
be high school graduates; they
must be currently enrolled or ad¬
mitted to PCC; they must qualify
as full-time students with 12%
units or more.
Priority will be given to first
semester freshmen, and next pri¬
ority to sophomores.
For students seeking financial
assistance through grants, the
total gross income means $5000
or less for a family of four with
an additional $300 for each de¬
pendant.
The center, backed unanimous¬
ly by the board and the adminis¬
tration, is directed by counselor
R. Dale McCollum. It will employ,
under the same bill, students in
the capacities of student recruit¬
ers, counselors, tutors, financial
aides, and teacher aides. Student
power at work, officially backed.

extended to the PCC campus with
the formation of the new Ecology
Club.
Among the activities being plan¬
ned by the club is participation in
the April 22 Ecology Teach-in.
Programs will be presented
throughout the country on that
day to discuss the problems of
environmental destruction. These
presentations, including one to
be held at PCC, are being co-
ordinated by Environmental
Teach-in, Inc., a national organiza¬
tion formed for the purpose of
ecological education.
The campus Ecology Club is
attempting to form a definite
plan of action to aid in the battle
against air pollution. This has
been made difficult by the enor¬
mity of the environmental prob¬
lem.
Among the problems brought
up for discussion at the last meet¬
ing were population control, air
pollution, elimination of industri¬
al waste, and offshore oil drilling,
which threatens to destroy much
of our seacoast and the wildlife
which depends on the sea for sur¬
vival.
Which of these problems the
club will concentrate on wifi be
decided at later meetings.
The Ecology Club will require
the support of many more stu¬
dents if it is to be successful. If
the first meetings are any indica¬
tion, the club will merit that sup¬
port. Interested students are in¬
vited to attend meetings, held
each Tuesday at 12 in 108E.
Chairman of the Ecology Club
is Mike Tanchek, assisted by Bar¬
bara Lagunoff. Adviser is Ken¬
neth Moore of the English Depart¬
ment.
Freshman Class
Presents Films
“Harper” and “The Music Man”
have been tentatively scheduled
by the Freshman Class to be
shown on the evening of Friday,
April 24 in Sexson Auditorium.
“Harper” is a Paul Newman
feature that was released in 1966.
“The Music Man” is the film ver¬
sion of the highly acclaimed
Broadway musical. The program
will be open to the public with
admission probably set at 75
cents.
The Freshman Class has also
planned a tricycle race, complete
with queen, trophy, and division¬
al competition, for April 28. Rules
and further details wifi be re¬
leased at a later date. In the
meantime, get your tricycles in
shape.
Both are obtainable through
local offices of the DMV.
A California driver’s license,
with the bearer’s picture, has be¬
come the most widely accepted
prima facie identification card a
person can carry. It is the docu¬
ment which anyone who wishes
to cash a check, establish his
credit, or identify himself will al¬
most always be asked to show.
For this reason, a person who
can’t produce a license where he
isn’t well known is at a great dis¬
advantage. So now the age limit
has been lowered to accommodate
some estimated 2.5 million non¬
drivers.
The cost of a driver’s license
or ID is the same — $3. Most
licenses are good for four years,
and the ID is good for six years.
A person may carry one or the
other — but not both.
One applying for an ID must
identify himself by bringing his
birth certificate. He must positive¬
ly document his age.
Holders of either an ID or a
driver’s license must report ad¬
dress changes to the department
within 10 days of moving. The
previous policy of the DMV has
been to require drivers who have
had their licenses encased in
plastic to apply for a duplicate
license whenever it was necessary
to record a change of address.
This was based on the idea that
such a license was considered to
be mutilated for the purpose of
adding new information. Howev¬
er, the procedure of plasticizing
the license is not illegal under the
law and is beneficial in preserv¬
ing the document.
The new policy of the depart¬
ment is to issue Form DL-43 for
attachment to a plasticized license
whenever a change of address is
reported. This procedure elimi¬
nates the necessity of applying
for a duplicate.
Several thousand California mo¬
torists were expected to pay $20
apiece beginning last March 2 for
the privilege of attaching citizen’s
band radio operator license plates
