Associution Appeurs
Thursday in Sexson
By Wayne Heikkila
The Association, unquestionably one of the most talked-
about new groups in the southern California scene, will appear
in the ASB assembly in Sexson Auditorium tomorrow. The
performance is free to all ASB card holders. A 75 cent donation
is required for those without. -
Tickets can be purchased at the
College Bank as well as at the
auditorium before the assembly.
The vocal-instrumental sextet
has been featured many times on
Brian Tobin’s KPCS folk show
the past two semesters and has
achieved national recognition with
its first recording, “One Too
Many Mornings.”
The nine-month old act of the
Association has established an
enviable record. The group has
been brought back to the Glen¬
dale Ice House five times by pop¬
ular demand. They were the first
rock and roll group to appear at
the Troubadour in nearly a dec¬
ade.
To describe the Valiant record¬
ing artists, one must consider the
elements of folk, rock, jazz, and
straight musicianship mixed to
put a modern edge on musical
presentation. The Association has
a format so deftly designed, so
carefully written, and so well-or-

ganized that it was an instant
success in its debut last July.
The group has received un¬
equalled acclaim from Variety
and Cash-Box as well as the Los
Angeles Times and the Herald-
Examiner for their musical crea¬
tivity.
A new sound, a new act, and a
new beat are the markings of
this six-man folk/rock act. Recent
additions to their sets include a
“funkie” fashion show and musi¬
cal pop art.
Since their appearance at vari¬
ous coffee houses, and school as¬
semblies, the group has appeared
on such television outlets as the
Lloyd Thaxton Show, Hollywood
A-Go-Go and Sam Riddle’s 9th
Street West.
In addition to their new sounds
and original material written by
lead guitarist Gary Alexander,
the group has the loud sound that
is popular with the youth market,
as well as the sensitivity of ethnic
folk delivery popularized by such
artists as Bob Dylan.
Other members of the group in¬
clude Ted Bluechel, drums; Jim
Yester and Russ Giguere, rhythm
guitar; Brian Cole, bass; and Ter¬
ry Kirkman, throat and other in¬
struments.
“We feel that by charging 75
cents we can open the doors to
all students rather than only to
those who have an ASB card.
This, I believe, will be the basis
for better quality assemblies in
the future,” noted Steve Scott,
ASB president.

Woman Writer Relates
Red China Adventure
Mrs. Lisa Hobbs, first staff re¬
porter of a United States news¬
paper to enter mainland Commu¬
nist China in almost ten years,
will discuss and show slides on
“Inside Red China” at the Tues¬
day Evening Forum, April 12, in
Sexson Auditorium.
Mrs. Hobbs, staff reporter for
the San Francisco Examiner,
made the 4000 mile tour through
Red China posing as an Austra¬
lian tourist. She spent about -a
m
month on mainland Communist
China, photographing items of
major interest.
Born in Australia, Mrs. Hobbs
graduated from the University of
Melbourne with a degree in soci¬
ology. She continued her educa¬
tion in Denmark and the United
States.
She is a former London corres¬
pondent for an Australian news
agency and was assigned to Buck¬
ingham Palace. Before that time,
she reported on various areas of
Asia.
The San Francisco Examiner,
in a preface to her report said:
“Her calculated and dangerous
deception and the strange course
of events it caused is itself a mov¬
ing, exciting story.
“It is what she saw and heard
and felt during 21 tense days in
Red China — a lone American
woman reporter among 700 mil¬
lion faceless, voiceless Commu¬
nists.”
Mrs. Hobbs has recently com¬
pleted a book on Red China to be
published this fall.

count on all merchandise not fair-
traded.
The project to obtain reduced
rates for ASB cardholders is be¬
ing handled throuh the Freshman
and Sophomore Councils.
The current administration
hopes that by increasing the value
of the cards, more people will be
willing to purchase the cards and
participate in other ASB func¬
tions.
Jacques Albrecht and Cynthia
Mitchell were responsible for the
three signings so far. Members
of the Frosh and Soph Councils
are expected to come up with
more names soon.
ASB Leaders
Off to Confab
By A1 Merino
Five hundred delegates from 80
junior colleges will participate in
the California Junior Colleges
Student Government Association
Conference at the El Cortez Ho¬
tel in San Diego from Thursday
through Saturday.
Five delegates will be repre¬
senting PCC. They are Steve
Scott, ASB president; Ray Fors,
ASB vice-president; Nancy Jane
Urban, AWS president; Bill My¬
ers, AMS president; and Shelley
Linderman, Senate president.
At the conference, delegates
will consider ideas and resolutions
first brought up in area confer¬
ences. The meeting will be more
than a talkathon, however, as
CJCSGA has a Sacramento lobby
to recruit legislative support for
its aims.
Three resolutions will be in¬
troduced by PCC delegates. One
of them, a resolution calling for
the adoption of a quarter sys¬
tem by all JC’s in California, was
introduced at the Area 4 Confer¬
ence, March 4, by Shelley Linder¬
man.
Another resolution, authored by
Bill Myers and David Laidig, calls
for autonomy by local boards of
education in regard to political
groups on campuses. This would
remove from junior colleges re¬
strictions on political activity
which applies to high schools but
not to four year colleges.
Steve Scott will introduce a
resolution calling for separation
of the local governing boards of
junior colleges and secondary
schools. PCC is undergoing this
separation procedure now, with
the April 26 election for an auton¬
omous junior college district.
PCC will also be represented by
adviser Robert Ehrlich and Lee
Rosen. According to Steve Scott,
“Lee is doing a fantastic job. He’s
the chairman of the finance com¬
mission, treasurer of Area 4, and
treasurer of all the JC’s in the
state in his capacity of CJCSGA
treasurer.”
“WATCH THE BIRDIE" is an expression that Lisa Hobbs found even
in China. She gives an account of her 21 -day journey through
the communist giant in the Tuesday Evening Forum, April 12.
Biggest Club Hunts New
Members, New Queen
Membership is still open for the International Club, largest or¬
ganization at PCC.
Already boasting 250 members, the group wants new students
to join in order to be eligible for the club scholarship, and for the
title, “International Club Queen.” Interested students should go to
the foreign students’ office, 17C.
The club is in charge of one of the show cases in the Campus
Center, and is now presenting a display of Pakistan. Articles from
Japan and Guatamala will follow. Foreign students may see Irshad
U1 Haque, president, for future displays.
A dance, titled “South of the Border,” will be presented by the
club Friday, in the Campus Center lounge from 8 p.m. to 12 midnight.
Admission is free to club members; $1 for non-members.
Still in the planning stage is a barbecue to be held with the
International Students Commission, April 22.
Both American and foreign students are urged to join this active
organization, officers said.
