Will the Real ASB Prexy Stand Up!
Bohart Airs
Amendment
by Tom Leonhardt
The following amendment to the
ASB Constitution was proposed by
the Senate vice-president, John
Bohart recently at an ASB Board
meeting.
“The right to vote shall be
granted to all PCC students pos¬
sessing a PCC student identifica¬
tion card.”
THE ASB Board voted 8 to 2,
to place the measure on the bal¬
lot in the coming election, with
the only nay votes coming from
ICC president Emily Vezerian
and ASB vice-president Tim Price.
Pros and cons on the issue
were debated before the vote. It
was argued against the amend¬
ment, that since 2258 people have
paid $12 a piece for annual cards
and 862 paid $7 for one semester,
it is unfair for non-ASB card¬
holders to vote for the officers
who will administer the money.
It was pointed out that less
than half the $86,460 estimated in¬
come for the 1966-67 fiscal year,
comes from ASB card sales.

Regulations Governing Student
Body Organizations and Activi¬
ties,” the pros showed that pro¬
fits made at activities open to the
student body in general are stu¬
dent body funds and shall be used
for general student body activi¬
ties.
NO STUDENT organization has
yet disapproved of the proposed
amendment but five have en¬
dorsed it. The five: ICC (71 clubs),
AMS, Sophomore Council, Fresh¬
man Council, and ISC Executive
Board.
Bohart issued the following
statement:
“This is definitely one of the
most important ASB constitutional
amendments in the history of
Pasadena City College. It is of
paramount importance that all
ASB card holders vote on this
amendment. It is a decisive is¬
sue."

Two Spring
On Tap for
By Jean Hofmann
PCC’s Music Department, head¬
ed by Dr. Robert M. Fleury, will
present two spring concerts to be
held in Sexson Auditorium Friday
and Saturday evening. Admission
to both is $1., and performance
time is 8:15.
The concerts are two separate
showings, each featuring a differ¬
ent set of performers.
On Friday, the Concert Choir,
under the direction of Stennis
Waldon, will perform such selec-
Concerts
Weekend
tions as Solomon’s “Music, Spread
Thy Voice Around” and Handel’s
“Laudate Nomen Domini.” The
Concert Choir specializes in
major choral works.
ALSO PERFORMING will be
the Hi-liters Stage Band (Truman
Fisher, director) with their reper¬
toire of jazz, show tunes, and pop¬
ular ballads; and the Sandpipers
(Stennis Waldon, director) with
some selections from the musical
theatre.
Saturday evening’s concert will
be put on by the Chamber Choir
(Robert Heckman, director) ; the
Madrigal Singers (Heckman);
and the Lancer Band (Daniel
Heistand, director).
The Chamber Choir, composed
of both music and non-music
majors, is dedicated primarily to
the great choral literature written
especially for the smaller sized
choir. For the concert the choir
will sing Lotti’s “Miserere Mei,”
Schutz’s “Cantata Domino,” and
exerpts from “Requiem - Agnus
Dei,” “Libera Me,” and “In Par-
adisum” by Faure.
Madrigal music dates back to
15th century Italy, France, and
England, when professional sing¬
ers entertained in palaces and
open-air festivals. The Madrigal
Singers have chosen pieces by
Pitoni, Des Pres, Viadana, de
Lasso, Passeraau, and Hinde¬
mith.
THE LANCER BAND will en
tertain with several compositions,
one of which has been dedicated
to the band by its composer, Dr.
Joseph Wagner. Dr. Wagner will
attend both the concert and a re¬
ception in his honor afterwards
at the Campus Center.
All of the groups are consis¬
tently in demand by many public

A president resigns his office.
Okay?
The vice-president succeeds to
power. Right? Wrong, not at
Pasadena City College.
BULLETIN
PCC’s Supreme Council will
meet this afternoon under Jolin
Holder, chairman, to determine
the constitutionality of the ap¬
pointment of Terry Moore as ASB
president upon the resignation of
Doug Phillips from that post.
ASB President Doug Phillips
noted he would resign from the
post if the vacancy could be filled
by Freshman Class President Ter-
. . . was he jobbed?
ry Moore. When the ASB Board
approved Moore as ASB president,
Phillips resigned. Tim Price, ASB
vice-president, was bypassed.
SO, YOU see, the big news here
is not that the president resigned,
but rather that Price did not step
up. The ASB Board said there is
nothing in the constitution con¬
cerning presidential succession,
but if one looks into the situation
he finds that student government
is run according to Roberts Rules
of Order.
On Page 224, Section Three of
Roberts Rules one reads: “In the
absence or resignation of the
Literary Contest
Ends on Friday
Any PCC student carrying six
or more units is eligible to enter
PCC’s annual Literary Contest
with Friday the deadline for sub¬
mission of manuscripts.
There are three categories for
which awards will be given: po¬
etry, short stories, and essays or
articles.
Manuscx-ipts must be submitted
anonymously. Each manuscript
must bear a pen name written on
the outside of a sealed envelope.
This envelope must contain the
author’s real name, address, and
telephone number.
More than one manuscript may
be submitted by a student, who
may also enter more than one
category. The name of the cate¬
gory should appear on the manu¬
script.
Prizes for this competition are
book orders. First prize is $10, and
second prize is $5, in each of the
three categories.
Manuscripts must be submitted
to Mrs. Alice Cloran, secretary, in
the English office, 109C, where
they may also be picked up after
June 9.
president the vice-president shall
assume the role of president.” So
now you see the conflict.
PRICE, who has not gotten
along well with the rest of the
governing bodies, but neverthe¬
less does a very good job, says
he plans to fight the decision of
the board. He feels he was un¬
justly duped.
Phillips was not available for
comment. A press conference was
set for Friday morning at 9 a.m.
in the Courier office, but the ex¬
president didn’t show.
The resignation by Phillips was
not a spontaneous thing. He did
not quit in a moment of anger.
He had the resignation papers
ready when he went into the
meeting Thursday.
IT IS NO secret that Phillips did
not get along too well with some
people. He had harsh words with
Dean S. Luke Curtis, he was an
editor of an off-campus newspa¬
per, and he did not seem to get
along well with his cabinet.
It can be speculated that since
Price is not a member of the
Campus Unity Party, the party
that is currently in power at PCC,
and Moore is, that Price was snub¬
bed because of his lack of politi-
. . . voted president
cal affiliation. Moore is being
groomed for the presidential spot
next year by CUP.
MOORE, in a statement to the
general student body, said, “There
will be no major changes in the
plans, ideas, or theories as provi¬
ded and produced under Mr. Phil¬
lips. The projects planned on al¬
ready in progress will be carried
out. Specifically, the controversy
surrounding Students for a Demo¬
cratic Society will be settled.
“I am asking for any complaints
or suggestions to be given to me
personally and not to be filtered
around the campus before official
recognition of them has been se¬
cured. In addition, I ask for your
help and cooperation in hopes for
a meaningful and successful
month and one-half.”
