Pasadena Traffic Impresses
Foreign Representatives
by Bill Smith
PCC was recently honored to
have a meeting held here between
various Central and South Ameri¬
can countries to promote better
relations between themselves and
the U.S.
Countries represented were Ur¬
uguay, Chile, Brazil, Ecuador,
Panama, Guatemala, and Colom¬
bia.
The meet was part of the pro¬
gram AID (American Interna¬
tional Development). Delegates
were members of the police forces
of the countries, visiting the U.S.
to receive training in electronic
communication.
Haul Fajardo, PCC professor,
is in charge of the project here
because of his ability in Spanish
and electronics.
AT THE informal meeting, rep¬
resentatives told about their own
countries and expressed their im¬
pressions of Pasadena.
For the most part they were
impressed with our orderly man¬
ner of doing things. They liked
the way our traffic was regulated.
The representative from Uru¬
guay said that with the installation
of signals in the main city streets
of his country, the people were
going to have to learn to cross on
ASB Budget
Hearing Held
The ASB Board held its first
budget hearing in the Campus
Center Board Room, Thursday.
Purpose was to show that mon¬
ey doesn’t grow on trees as well
as to get a run down of the ASB
budget and find out what the
people want and why.
The board was unable to com¬
plete the meeting due to a lack
of information and facts available
to each member for making a
decision. The Board will schedule
a second budget hearing later.
the green light. Now, he noted,
they cross with the red just to
prove that they aren’t going to be
regulated like sheep, a dangerous
situation.
ANOTHER was impressed with
the size of Pasadena because he
had heard that it was a small city.
He added that Pasadena was a
very beautiful city.
The Panama representative,
who spoke in English, told of
problems of his country, such as
the flag flying in the canal zone.
Students started the trouble, and
then it was taken over by “some
bad people.”
He did not say who the bad
people were, just that the situa¬
tion was under control and that
he and his country hoped for a
harmonious relationship with the
U.S. to continue.
