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.

The bicentennial edition of “In- scape” is dedicated to Walt Whitman. Whitman's spirit is woven into the pages, said Joyce Radloff Rainier and Bill Weinstein, co-editors of the publication. The collection of poetry, short stories and essays is written by PCC students, faculty and alumni. Weinstein stated that much work with good material makes this edition of “Inscape” one of the best. Jerene Cline, faculty adviser, shares Wein¬ stein's attitude, noting that the in¬ crease of creative classes being taught at PCC adds to the richness of “In- scape.” Many of the students whose works appear in “Inscape” have also been published in professional magazines. plus an intercom and burglar alarm system. This June the house will move to the lot of the highest bidder. This year’s model home, the twenty- second featured at PCC, was built strictly by students from construction, engineering, electrical, architectural and interior design classes with a budget of $10,000. Added features to this year’s model include plush carpeting, draperies, a dishwasher, a jumbo shingle roof, phone jacks in every room and a garbage disposal.

Model home 23 will begin in the fall, and will go on sale in 1978. 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. Headed for San Diego Student Hairstylists Win Prizes —Courier Photo by Pete Whan 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 —Courier Photo by Michael Joncich HAIRSTYLING CONTEST— Cosmetology student Brad Herron pre¬ pares model Christy Mocerino, his entry in the annual PCC Hair¬ styling Contest held on campus this week.
