Vol. 35, No. 25
Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California
May 4, 1973
Elections for ASB government of¬
fices are scheduled for Thursday and
Friday, May 24 and 25. A new election
code is in effect designed to prevent
the kind of debacle that marred last
semester’s elections.
Applications are available in the
Campus Center. To be qualified, ap¬
plicants must have a grade point
average of not less than 2.2 (C plus).
Offices that will be vacant are ASB
president, vice president, president of
Associated Women Students, president
of Associated Men Students,
Sophomore Class president and
athletics president. The deadline for
filing is May 10. As of last Tuesday, no
one had applied for any office. Suc¬
cessful office seekers will take office in
September and will serve for one
semester.
Lack of interest left many offices
vacant by default last semester and
some candidates ran unopposed. The
only position for which competition
was strong was that of president.
Speech Team Captures
National Vocal Honors
PCC’s Forensics Squad has again
pocketed several awards— this time
for its performances in the National
Forensics Tournament held in
Gatlinburg, Tenn.
The award-winners for this tourna¬
ment, which was held April 19 and 20,
have already been cited for their work
in other college-leyel tournaments.
Don Applegate, with his “First
Stratosperic Balloon Flight,” won
fourth place in the nation in the Ex¬
pository. He competed against 250
other participants in the category.
Competing with 150 challengers in
the Reader’s Theater grouping, the
PCC trio, Tom Carter, Millie Crisp and
Pat Love, placed third with “Who’s
Got His Own.”
Superior-grade certificates went to
six PCC participants, Don Applegate,
in Informative, Persuasive, and Oral
Interpretation; Tom Carter, in Oral
Interpretation and Reader’s Theater;
Millie Crisp and Pat Love, in Per¬
suasive, Oral Interpretation and
Reader’s Theater; and Margaret
Duncun and Sherrill Asadoor, in Oral
Interpretation and Persuasive.
Dave Chambers, Forensics Squad
member and president of Forensics
Fraternity Phi Rho Pi, attributes the
squad’s award-winning ability to in¬
tensive state-level competition.
“PCC has always done well in
forensics competition,” he says, “due
mainly to constant participation in
various tournaments.”
Dylan Thomas Week
Shows Joint Effort
“Dylan Thomas Week,” a joint ef¬
fort of the English and Communication
departments, begins May 7 and ends
with the opening of the production of
“Dylan” May 11.
Readings of selected works of Dylan
Thomas will take place in ap¬
proximately 16 English classes
throughout the week. PCC radio
station KPCS-FM will be running a
documentary on the life of the poet,
and a poetry reading program is
scheduled for airing over Sierra
Madre’s cable TV station, channel 3.
Drama students participating in the
readings include Craig Coulter, Tom
Killam, Sheila Condit, Marcia
Pickens, Nora Masterson, Steve
Cardwell, Joan Shamadan and Terri
Jones.
A special addition to “Dylan Thomas
Week” comes from Los Angeles City
College’s Reader’s Theater, who will
present “Under Milkwood” at PCC
Friday, May 11, at noon in the Little
Theater.
Working together to coordinate the
week’s activities are Karen Norris,
English instructor, Duke Stroud,
director of “Dylan,” Dr. Harold E.
Salisbury, Communication Depart¬
ment chairman, and Anthony
Georgilas, telecommunications in¬
structor.
The new election code is interpretive
rather than rigid. It spells out the
duties of the election commissioner
and commission but leaves many of
more specific procedural questions up
to the commission. The most im¬
portant clause is article VI which
states that all irregularities must be
reported before the ballots are counted
and that the ballots will not be counted
until any complaints are resolved by
the Supreme Council, the judiciary
branch of the ASB.
The office of election commissioner
is presently vacant. It is to be filled by
appointment by Jim Brownfield, the
ASB president with the approval of the
ASB Board. Brownfield says he has an
appointee in mind but would rather
wait until after the board takes action
before making his choice public.
Lancer Band's
Spring Concert
Set for Tonight
The 67-piece Lancer Band is
scheduled to perform at its annual
spring concert tonight at 8:15 in
Sexson Auditorium, with Dr. Richard
Coy directing.
The free concert will feature a wide
selection of music by contemporary
composers, with the exception of two
works by John Phillip Sousa. Selec¬
tions for the concert will include, “A
Jubilant Overture” by Alfred Reed,
“Toccata Morziale” by Ralph Vaughn
Williams; “Fantasies on a Theme by
Haydn” composed by Norman Dello
Joio; and “Variations on a Korean
Folk Song” by John Barnes Chance.
Other selections include the “King
Cotton March” and the “El Capitan
March” both by Sousa.
Also featured are the “American
Overture for Band” by Joseph Willcox
Jenkins, “Chorale and Variant,” by
Elliot Del Borgo, and “A Jazz March,”
a Brazilian percussion feature by
Frank Bencriscutto.
“The band is going to play some of
the most difficult music that we’ve
ever attempted since I’ve been here,”
said Dr. Coy. “It is difficult to get a
group to peak at the right moment. If
the concert were a week later or
earlier, I don’t know how we would
fare. As it stands right now, we are
ready to the fullest capacity, and
should put on an excellent show.”

Forthcoming ASB Elections Emphasize
Preventive Measures in New Code
Bankrupt ASB Board
Seeks Budget Remedy
By Dave Rust
staff writer
Faced with a $1 budget, the ASB
Board is trying to regain funds. To do
this the board decided to review a
decision to grant the Black Student
Union $1950.
The grant, which originally passed
by a vote of 10 to 0 with one abstention,
was to provide 60 per cent of the fun¬
ding for the coming Black Expo ’73.
Profits from the Expo were to go the
the Financial Aids office and to be
distributed among needy students.
By reconsidering the grant, several
board members hoped to channel some
!

Ш
of the profits of the BSU event back
into the ASB Board’s sagging budget.
The motion to reconsider, made by
Martha Hubner, athletics president,
triggered more than an hour of heated
debate.
When the arguing stopped, a com¬
promise had been worked out, and a
motion was proposed by Phyllis De
Vine, black students’ representative.
The motion called for a grant of $1950
to BSU, as in the initial proposal, but
the profits were to be divided between
financial aids, receiving 70 per cent,
and the ASB Board, receiving 30 per
cent.
For the second time in as many
weeks, the BSU sponsored proposal
passed, but the debate over the issue
had left its mark.
After the meeting, Miss De Vine
stated that she was “very disap¬
pointed” that other members of the
board “din’t have the foresight to see
what I (she) was trying to explain.”
She felt that all profits should have
gone to financial aid.
Floyd Beatty, Associated Men
Student president, was also angry. The
“frustrations” of the board meeting
added to the past actions of the board
prompted Beatty to hand in his
resignation. His official reasons were
stated as “personal and complicated.”
Other board members also ex¬
pressed their dissatisfaction with the
inconsistent manner with which the
board Has handled financial decisions.
ASB president, Jim Brownfield,
called the board’s actions
“irresponsible” and planned to
establish new guidelines to be followed
in future requests for funding.
Prior to the start of the meeting, the
new ASB vice president, Samantha
Cochran, was sworn in. Miss Cochran
was appointed by President Brown¬
field to replace Asmat (Sami) Sid-
diqui, who resigned earlier in the
semester. Miss Cochran’s nomination
was approved by a 6-2-1 vote in the
executive session of April 19.
The board also approved an election
code which will replace the one used in
the last election.
The entire meeting lasted almost
two hours, the longest session this
semester, and ended only after several
board members left and a quorum was
lost.

Student Art
Scheduled for
PCC Gallery
Two student art shows designed to
represent all mediums within the Art
Department are scheduled in the
campus Art Gallery during May and
June.
The first show, set for May 7 through
May 18, will exhibit the work of
beginning classes, including drawings,
paintings, design, crafts, serigraphy
and print-making.
The second, from May 29 to June 15,
will also be composed of these varied
disciplines and present the creations of
the advanced classes.
According to David Logan, assistant
gallery director, the art instructors
choose the work of student artists that
best represent techniques and
assignments given in class. Logan
works with Larry Hellicker in setting
up gallery displays.
“The shows have run for the last two
years,” he says. “They have been
popular because of student interest.
There has been great response both on
and off campus.”
The advanced show will be running
during the coming OMD Festival
scheduled for June. Plans involving
the art students center around sales of
their works during the festival. “The
works being sold won’t necessarily be
gallery pieces,” says Logan.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday; noon
to 3 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday; and
7:30 to 8:30 Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings.
Cinco de Mayo
Mariachi music, theater groups and
speakers from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in
the Free Speech Area will help cele¬

in litters to an emergency site and
“victims” to the morgue.
Sophomore nursing students in stage
makeup will be the casualties who
suffer injuries ranging from compound
fractures to multiple burns and
abrasions. Later, nursing students who
provided theatment to the injured, will
be critiqued by their patients.
Security officers with walkie-talkies
will keep in constant touch with the
communication center in the Campus
Center. It is here that “relatives” may
come to inquire about their students.
Adding realism and chaos to the
exercise will be corpsmen, newsmen,
photographers and official observers.
Taking part from the community will
be the Red Cross, fire department and
an ambulance company.
Marie A. Paquette, nursing in¬
structor, is the disaster drill coor¬
dinator. She has been working closely
with several departments on campus
to provide this experience, which will
give students the opportunity to use
skills they are being taught.
The drill will end at 3:45 p.m. Par¬
ticipants will go to Harbeson Hall for
refreshments provided by food service
students. Representatives from each
group will give a short report.
It is suggested that staff and
students not involved in the drill avoid
this area.
Second Language
Promotes Facility
In Speaking Skills
“Spanish as a Second Language,”
new to Chicano studies next semester,
will offer Spanish-speaking students
an opportunity to acquire con¬
versational practice.
Students who enroll in this class
should have developed Spanish speech
and comprehension skills sufficiently
to maintain their studies without ex¬
cessive translation.
The class will stress specialized
vocabulary in elementary Spanish and
basic expression for those who must
communicate with Spanish-speaking
children or adults.
Mexican textbooks, along with North
American publications, will be used.
An important part of this course will be
the use of cassette tapes for sup¬
plementary materials.
Other courses offered in the fall will
be “History of Mexico,” and Chicano
literature, history, philosophy,
sociology, field experience, and
“Language of the Barrio.”
During the summer session Chicano
psychology, sociology, anthropology
and history will be offered.
