Negro Students Seek Status
in Proposed 10-Point Program
Ten proposals by the Afro-
American Students of PCC have
received considerable discussion
on campus.
Last Wednesday Dr. Armen
Sarafian, PCC president, began a
series of meetings with faculty
members to discuss the proposals.
Already the Assemblies Com-
Silverwoods
Offers PCC
Student Credit
By Al Menconi
Ask not what you can do for
your community, but ask what
your community can do for you.
Well, you need not ask any¬
more. The first real interest
shown PCC students in a long
time was demonstrated by Silver-
woods clothing store.
Silverwoods is offering some¬
thing that should be of interest to
all of us. A charge account with
no questions asked.
That’s right, any PCC student,
upon presenting a student I.D.
and a California Drivers License,
can open a free, 30-day account
with one of California’s largest
clothing chains.
Silverwoods, located on Lake
Avenue just above California,
specializes in collegiate fashions
for men and women — their pride
and joy being the Cougar Shop.
Gant, Arrow, Hart, Schaffner and
Marx, are just a few of the name
goods that stock their ample
shelves. They like to be thought
of as the clothing version of the
“Pepsi Generation.”
If you have been looking for a
way to develop a charge account,
you have probably found that to
receive credit a past credit record
is needed. Now is your chance to
develop a good credit rating that
will be invaluable to you all your
life.
If you want to take advantage
of this offer, drop by Silverwoods
and pick up a student charge ap¬
plication. If you have any ques¬
tions about it, see Al Menconi,
your Silverwoods student repre¬
sentative.
