PCC Curriculum Committee
Discusses Publicity, Religion
Publicity was the main concern
of the Student Curriculum Com¬
mittee meeting held last Tuesday
in Dr. Stanley Gunstream’s office
in the Campus Center.
The SCC is one channel through
which the students can make
changes or improvements in the
PCC curriculum. The committee
makes direct recommendations to

the College Curriculum Commit¬
tee.
Students picked from all 17 ac¬
ademic departments on campus
serve on the committee.
Posters are to be placed around
the campus in various locations
to make the students more aware
of the committee and its function.
Bulletin boards in buildings and
walkways will be the primary
spots for the posters, along with
appropriate places in the library
and the Campus Center.
The Campus Crier and the
Courier were also discussed as a
means of publicity.
Although the SCC can be a pow¬
erful influence and is the best

Colleges May Drop
Foreign Languages
A possible trend by major Cal- of a foreign language of its ma-
ifornia colleges to remove foreign 3°rs-
language requirements has been
subjectively implied by the latest
topic of conversation from within
these colleges.
According to S. L. Curtis, PCC
counselor, the University of Cal¬
ifornia at Berkeley College of Let¬
ters and Science abolished its for¬
eign language requirements re¬
cently, and he noted that this is
the latest result of recent state
government cutbacks in college
funds.
Foreign language is the only
part of high school studies which
applies to the satisfaction of col¬
lege graduation requirements.
The student who completes
three or four years of study in
a foreign language will have met
fully the foreign language
breadth requirements of some
University of California colleges
and in others will have almost
completed the requirement.
Colleges still retaining a foreign
language requirement for a bach¬
elor’s degree are the Universities
of California at Davis, Irvine,
Los Angeles, Riverside, San Di¬
ego, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz,
and the University of California
at Berkeley’s individual depart¬
ments that may yet require study
OMD Sets Date
for Carnival Soon
Omicron Mu Delta, PCC’s hon¬
orary service organization, has
announced its annual carnival, to
be held Saturday, May 8, from 3
to 11 p.m. The activities will be
held on the PCC campus.
This year’s theme is “Through
the Looking Glass,” and all cam¬
pus clubs are invited to partici¬
pate by erecting booths in keep¬
ing with the theme. Applications
are available in the office of Mrs.
Lillian Castagna, secretary to
Dean John Eikenbery, Campus
Center.
Ideas already submitted include
the police fraternity’s “Egg-a-Pig”
booth, Chi Sigma’s “Musical
Chairs Cake Walk,” the Spartan’s
food concession, and Circle K’s
dunking booth.
According to Dr. B. W. Giles,
assistant professor, what possible
effects this controversy will have
upon the PCC Foreign Language
Department only remains to be
seen.
“Five thousand ‘Hike for Help’
walk cards are out and in distri¬
bution right now, with another
10,000 about to go out this week”
according to Sid Brown, one of
PCC’s several coordinators for
Saturday’s 21-mile hike for help.
It will benefit the San Gabriel
Valley’s Foothill Free Clinic and
Project Hope’s work for Ameri¬
can Indians and Chicanos.
The clinic had its county funds
cut off in recent budget-trimming,
and schools from the entire valley
are rallying to raise funds to in¬
sure the continuation of clinic
services for students who need
them, Brown stated. He added
that the hike will be the biggest
single student event ever held
around here.
The U. S. National Bank is han¬
dling all funds directly from the
Experts Offer Look
at 'Successful Affair'
Marriage, according to the ex¬
perts, can be a successful affair
when accompanied by a healthy
understanding of the emotional
and physical factors contributing
to family unity, stability and
openness.
For newly marrieds and those
soon to be married, UCLA Ex¬
tension offers “A New Look at
Marriage: Preparation for Suc¬
cess,” a day-long symposium on
Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
in Room 1200, Humanities Build¬
ing, UCLA.
Planned by physicians for the
general public, the symposium
will fit the emotional, physical
and social aspects of marriage
into a useful perspective. Experts
and knowledgeable survivors will
discuss marriage through person¬
al experiences and academic un¬
derstanding.
They will predict major prob¬
lems and suggest ways in which
each partner can create a
strengthened climate for individ¬
ual growth.
Course chairman is Dr. Joshua
S. Golden, professor of psychia¬
try and assistant dean at the
UCLA School of Medicine. He will
open the program with “Some
Common Problems in Marriage —
the Case for Openness.”
Subsequent lecture topics will
include “An Almost-Liberated
Woman’s View of Marriage” by
Mrs. Robert Iverson, community
and volunteer services leader, and
“Confessions of a Three-Time
Winner” by Dr. Robert C. Geiger,
assistant clinical professor of
orthopedic surgery at the Univer¬
sity of California School of Medi¬
cine at San Francisco.
Dr, Marcia Lasswell, professor
of psychology at California State
Polytechnic College at Pomona,
will ask “Is Marriage Fatally
Ill?” and will examine the insti¬
tution in perspective.
“If You Want Children, How to
Go About It” will be a discussion
of family planning and contra¬
ception by Norman Fleishman,
executive director of Planned
Parenthood/World Population in
Los Angeles.
Dr. Golden will close the con¬
ference with some advice on sex¬
ual adjustment in marriage — -“If
You Go About It, How to Enjoy
It.”
Students will be admitted for
a special fee of $5.

of Computers
PCC’s Board of Trustees has ap¬
proved the appointment of Robert
A. Berger as director of comput¬
erized information services, effec¬
tive April 15.

hikers to insure the safety and se¬
curity of the event.
Anyone willing to participate
should secure a hike card, with
which he or she then finds spon¬
sors to personally pledge some
amount of money per mile.
Each person tries for as many
sponsors as possible, and is then
“worth” that much for every one
of the 21 miles he covers. The
hike starts from Pasadena’s
Brookside Park at 7 a.m.
Cards and further information
are available on campus, or
through the Free Clinic, 35 S.

is 795-8088.
Campsite To
Be Surveyed.
Students of surveying under
Richard Hauck will survey a
campsite for crippled children for
the Forest Service.
The civil engineering technolo¬
gy class will go on a field trip
April 19 to 23 to prepare the site
for the Forest Service to finish
the campground for the children
near Newhall.
Students participating include
Dennis J. Lodes, John A. Thies,
John M. Ward, Gerald S. Roth,
Ronald D. Miedema, Martin L.
Tesh, Werner F. Awtl, Robert S.
Cosso, Lynn A. Leatherwood,
Thomas S. Volby, and John J.
Nortz.
The PCC surveying students
often work with the Forest Serv¬
ice and YMCA in surveying camp
areas, and making topographic
maps for future improvement
projects. They have worked at
Horse Flats campground, Chilao
amphitheater, at Mt. Wilson, Te-
hachapi and Ramona.
A Forest Service spokesman
expressed apprecation for this co¬
operative help to Dr. Armen Sara-
fian, PCC president, saying, “I
believe this is one of the finest
working relationships we have in
that the students benefit by gain¬
ing good, on-the-ground experi¬
ence, and the Forest Service bene¬
fits by being able to prepare site
plans directly off the base maps,
thus eliminating many days of
field work.
“The taxpayers also benefit by
getting double returns on their
tax dollars.”
New Forum Speaker
Because Mrs. Myrlie Evers will
be in Europe and had to cancel,
Dr. Julian Nava will be the
April 13 PCC Tuesday Evening
Forum speaker at 8 p.m. in the
Pasadena High School auditori¬
um. He will discuss “Education
and Social Change.” The public
is welcome to the free lecture.
Ample seating is available.
channel the student has to get
his ideas into the curriculum, the
committee is nothing if it is not
used.
The process is slow but it
works. The committee has been
used successfully in the past and
can be used to a much greater
extent in the future.
In last week’s meeting, it was
announced by Religious Activities
Commissioner Dennis Jones that
there are students on campus who
would be interested in taking
classes such as religious litera¬
ture and Bible study.
Social sciences representative
Bob Kornic reported the PCC ma¬
chine shop could be of help to dif¬
ferent departments by making
working models and equipment to
supplement lectures.
It was also decided by the com¬
mittee to meet twice a month in
Dr. Gunstream’s office instead of
previous once-a-month meetings.
The SCC cannot work without
the students. Ideas at any time
are welcome and can be submit¬
ted in Dr. Gunstream’s office in
the Campus Center.
The next meeting of the com¬
mittee will be Tuesday, April 13,
at noon. Anyone interested is
invited to attend.
