Career Day Set
For Thursday
The booths will be staffed by both
teachers and students, Wilson says, to
give the high school students an op¬
portunity to see what a tremendous
college we have.
Participating for the first time are
the physical sciences, with a large
display under the direction of
Assistant Professor of Chemistry Pat
O'Day. The power sewing class is also
a first time participant.
Others include the CATC motorcycle
repair classes. The cosmetology
classes will provide haircutting and
manicure demonstrations.
The allied health, electronics, ar¬
chitecture, nursing and building
construction divisions will also par-
ticiapte in the “Progress in Education
Days” this weekend at Santa Anita
Fashion Park Mall at the corner of
Baldwin Avenue and Huntington Drive
in Arcadia.
PCC will join the Pasadena Center
for the Science of Creative Intelligence
and the Maharishi International
University in providing information to
the public on new programs and
concepts in education.
The mall is open from 10 a. m. to 6
p.m. on Saturday and from noon to 5
p.m. on Sunday.
Representatives will be available to
provide information on veteran’s
benefits and services and the CATC.
Entertainment will be provided by
the Occidental College Glee Club and
chamber music group.
The booths will be dismantled at the
end of the weekend show and set up in
the Quad for Thursday’s Career Fair.
throughout the year to discuss job
opportunities and the requisite skills
which PCC must teach, according to
Mike Pettite.
Pettite’s food service students will
prepare and serve the breakfast.
All of the PCC area high schools
have been invited to send students in
the buses provided by the college,
according to Wilson.
Transportation chairman and
engineering professor. Herbert
Sheppard, says buses are scheduled
for 11 high schools. They are Arcadia,
Arroyo, Blair, La Canada, La Salle,
Temple City, Muir, Pasadena,
Rosemead, San Marino and South
Pasadena.
The fair has grown from 15 booths in
1971 to 36 this year, says Wilson who
was also chairman of the first Career
Fair.
He added that the booths were
constructed of wood and cardboard in
past years. This year Marina Hines’
power sewing classes at the Com¬
munity Adult Training Center (CATC)
on North Lake Avenue have made red,
white, blue and purple-striped can¬
vases which will be attached to light¬
weight metal pipes with fixtures made
in the PCC machine shops.
Wilson calls three of his electronics
students “the Omars.” Duane Kar-
cher, Michael Rubin and Craig
Williams have made the grommets for
the tents.
Chris Sirna and Leonard Burns, two
other of Wilson’s students, have at¬
tached the white cord to the grommets
in spite of the fact that they are blind.

Printing Instructor
van der Veen Dies
Mr. Robert Francis van der Veen,
Assistant Professor of Printing at
PCC, died Thursday, April 29.
Mr. van der Veen was hired by
PCC in 1945 to manage the produc¬
tion department of the campus
print shop. At that time, he was
actually an employee of the ASB
and not the college. The print shop
came under the control of the
ROBERT VAN DER VEEN
college district in 1953 at which time
Mr. van der Veen became a
classified member of the staff.
In 1963 he became a certificated
member of the faculty when he
began teaching as part of the Ex¬
tended Day program. In 1966, he
received an Associate in Arts
Degree from PCC. In 1972, he
received a Bachelor of Vocational
Education from Cal State L.A.
During the late 60s van der Veen
taught the Star News typesetters
how to use their newly acquired
cold type system. Then in late 1968
Mr. van der Veen was called upon
to fill the vacancy as full time in¬
structor left by the death of a
colleague.
•'Bob van der Veen’s ethical
standards were high and he was
always thorough and extremely
careful in all that he did,” said
Mildred M. Wardlow, dean of
Personnel Services.
Mr. van der Veen was buried at
Forest Lawn, Covina, following
private family services at Ives and
Warren Mortuary in Pasadena last
Monday. The family has requested
that in lieu of flowers, contributions
be made to the College Bank in
memory of Bob van der Veen as
part of a Memorial Scholarship for
future printing students.
PCC Places in
Speech Tourney
promptu speaking at the National Indi¬
vidual Events Championships held at
Cal State L.A. April 23 and 25. He made
the one-quarter finals in competition
against 129 colleges and universities,
five of which were community
colleges.
This weekend the forensics squad
will attend a tourney at Cal State L.A.
and will compete at Cal State Nor-
thridge May 15 and 16.
Starting the week of May 17 there
will be a preliminary Intramural
Speech Contest in memory of PCC
student Phil Robinson who was killed
in a football accident in the 1940s.
Students will be judged in persuasive
speaking with the theme being an
aspect of safety. Further information
may be obtained from Joe Probst in
A95A.
Transcript
Mailings
Underway
PCC students requesting transcripts
to be mailed to other colleges may
expect them to go within a day, unless
the request is made at the end of the
semester, says E. E. Beauchamp,
dean of registration.
Students should allow about three
weeks for mailing in June because of
the extra time needed for the recor¬
ding of grades before transcripts can
be sent out, he said.
The first two copies of transcripts
are forwarded free, but there is a
$1 charge for each additional request,
Beauchamp added.
Requests for transcript mailing
should be made at the Office of Ad¬
missions and Records.
Counselors Use
Buddy System
A team of Student Resource Center
peer counselors will again assist
Extended Opportunity Program
(EOP) students this fall, according to
John L. Hardy, student resource
counselor.
Resource Center peer counselors are
selected on the basis of recommenda¬
tions from counselors and various staff
members. EOP students are assigned
to peer counselors in a ration of about
10 to one. Students are also assigned to
a regular counselor.
“The peer counseling program
works like a buddy system. Counselors
help students with catalog require¬
ments, tutorial problems and general
college information,” Hardy said.
Twice a month, instructors are
asked to complete questionnaires on
each of their EOP students. If there is
a serious problem with a particular
student, the prospective peer coun¬
selor is notified so that he can be of
assistance, Hardy said.
STUDENTS IN THE NEWS
KABC Channel 7 will film people’s
reactions in front of the mirror pools
this morning. Howard Kutzly, a
former PCC intern, and Jordy
Roughan, the new PCC intern at
Channel 7, will give students 10 to 15
minutes each to talk on any subject.
The segments will air during “A.M.
Los Angeles” for the remainder of
the month.

MODEL HOME— Neil Long, student in Lome Johnson’s building
construction class, helps put finishing touches on PCC’s twenty-
second model home, which will go up for bidding starting May 13.
PCC’s forensics squad, Phi Rho Pi,
is consistently placing in recent state
and national contests. Wayne Stan and
Marleen Stow captured third place in
their respective categories at a state
tournament just last weekend at Cal
State Long Beach.
Stan took third place in Piece Ex¬
temporaneous speaking and also
received a third place award along
with Ms. Stow in Duo Interpretation.';
The latter award was presented in
local competition.
Leading up to last weekend’s events
were one national and two state
tourneys.
PCC students also won honors in
state competition held at Orange Coast
College March 26 to 28. Silver awards
went to both Stan Swantek for Extem¬
poraneous speaking and Roberta Kopp
for persuasive speaking.
Three third place awards were
earned by PCC students in the
National Competition held in Chicago
April 14 to 18.
Stan Swantek took third extempora¬
neous and impromptu speaking, and
Keri Bowman placed third in oral
interpretation of literature. Seventy-
six community colleges from around
the nation participated in the events.
Wayne Stan earned the distinction of
placing twenty-fourth out of 129 in im-
Diego. They are Helen Hayes, daytime
styling; Cheryl Rankin, evening; Joe
Duckworth, artistic; and Susie
Piscetello, quick service category.
. Ken Kolle, director of the PCC
Cosmetology Program, presented the
awards following a full day of
preparation of models by the 55
student participants.
Other winners in the daytime
category were Magoth Hernandez,
second place; Lillie Dixon, third
place; and Tammy Griffin, honorable
mention.
Kay Daughtery took second place,
while Michelle Sprazz and Monnette
Ower received honorable mention in
the evening division and Terri Majors
placed second in the quick service
division.
Theresa Brown of Arcadia’s
Vonallou Hair Salon was chairman of
the judges which included Manny
Perea of Anthony Richards Hair
Design in Huntington Beach and a 1975
PCC cosmetology graduate, Yolanda
Jackson of Omar’s in Beverly Hills.
The models were fellow students,
friends or relatives of the entrants.
The models had to meet the requir-
ment of a “reasonably short hair cut.”
“The trend is for shorter hair with a
soft casual look. Styles are wearable
and not exotic,” Kolle said.
Cosmetology students put in 1600
hours of training over a year’s time to
receive a certificate of completion
before taking the state board
examination.
“A night program for the fall has
been approved by the curriculum
committee,” Kolle added.
The cosmetology rooms in R409 are
open to students and the public from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through
Friday. Appointments for a shampoo
and set at $1.25, a cold wave from $5 up
or hair straightening from $7.50 up
may be made by calling 792-8361.
Eleven communty colleges will
compete in San Diego. PCC won the
sweepstakes award for the first time in
last year's Interscholastic Hairstyling
Competition by taking two first place
and one second place award, Kolle
said.
Cheers and tears accompanied the
presenation of trophies and awards to
the winners of the annual PCC Hair¬
styling Contest this week in the R
Building cosmetology rooms.
And the excitement factor remains
high for the first place winners in each
of four categories who will represent
PCC in the Southern California Inter¬
scholastic Competition May 22 in San
