ASB Elections Marked SENATE PRESIDENT RUNNING— Mark Walther, Senate president, is challenging Gene Vasquezas a candidate for ASB president. Walther came to PCC in the spring of 1972. In the fall of that year, he served as publicity commissioner for student government. During his term as Senate president, Walther and the Senate handled student affairs. By John Fox News Editor The deadline to file for ASB offices has passed and only one office, that of ASB president, is contested. The others have been applied for by either only one candidate or no candidate at all. For the office of president, Gene Vasquez and Mark Walther are in competition. Vasquez is the MECHA representative on this semester’s ASB board. Walther is president of the Student Senate. Unless a write-in campaign is started for one of the uncontested offices, this will be the only real competition of the election. Wilbur Alonzo Smith, Jr. was disqualified by the Election Com¬ mission for failure to attend a meeting of the commission and the candidates held on Tuesday. Robert D. Wright is running unopposed for ASB vice- president, the office which Smith was seeking. Associated Men Students’ president is now without a candidate, as it was found that Wayne Nakano who had applied for that office was not enrolled in the 10.5 units required to establish eligibility. The office of Associated Women Students’ president has inspired no takers. Glenn P. Ehlig is running unopposed for the office of athletics president. Ehlig has served on the ASB Board and been active in the athletics program. Mark Clark is running unopposed for Sophomore Class president, and Andre Latreille is unopposed in his write-in bid for President of the Student Senate. In the meeting on Tuesday, it was decided that there need not be a limit on campaign spending as none of the candidates seemed to have a clear financial advantage. It was also decided, at the suggestion of the Election Commission and with the full approval of the candidates to forgo the usual speeches in favor of a panel discussion. This discussion, scheduled for Monday from noon to 1 p.m. will give the Election Com¬ mission a chance to ask each can¬ didate several questions. The commission would not reveal the questions ahead of time but they are designed to reveal as much as possible the character and beliefs of each office-seeker. The election will be held next Thursday and Friday, May 24 and 25 for day students from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. and Monday through Thursday from 7:45 to 8:45 p.m. for night students. Ballots will not be counted until the following Wednesday, May 31. This is to allow for Memorial Day, May 29 and to give the Election Commission time to look into any irregularities that may be reported. After the meeting. Robin Forester, the elections commissioner, expressed her disappointment that so few people decided to run. “I know that the ASB Board hasn’t dealt with anything really important for some time, but the potential is there.” she says. “The Board is not a power center like the Board of Trustees but it can do some good.” Samantha Cochran, ASB vice- president and member of the Election Commission, commented on the lack of participation on the part of ethnic groups. “BSU and MECHA are always claiming that they’re left out of what the ASB does.” she said. “Here’s a chance for them to get some real power on the board and there’s only one ‘ethnic group’ person running.” Another Commission member, A1 Moses, said, “People get the govern¬ ment they deserve. The people next year will have nothing to complain about.” PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL— Student Gene Vasquez, now MECHA representative on the ASB Board, is running for ASB president in competition with one other candidate. His platform is one in which he hopes to expedite campus activities, allowing people to really get things done on campus. “I want to humanize and streamline the system,” he says. by Apathy PCC CouftieSi Vol. 35, No. 27 Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California May 18, 1973 PCC Banquet Honors Area Chicana Women PCC is hosting an awards banquet to honor Chicana women in this area who have done much to foster the development of their people as well as enhance their status as women.

Upon their return, the hikers will be treated to a barbeque with all the Radiology, Barbershop Among Coming Courses organizations, they have been the people who have made the homes— contributed to the community— and it’s time they receive some honors,” says La Vera Garcia, PCC counselor and chairman of the event. “Chicana women will be nominated by PCC students and agencies involved with the community. Nominations will be limited to those women in the area that PCC serves,” she explained. “Those who nominate should describe what the woman has done, be it work as a mother, housewife, work in the community, organizations both social and political or work in government agencies- anv work that is ‘above and beyond’ that which is required of them. “They’re involved in community projects— working for government agencies, they’re involved in federal pro jects and they do a great deal to aid their community colleges. They not only enhance their status as women, but they have done much to foster the development of their people, and we don’t want them to go unnoticed. “We’re giving 10 to 15 awards — honor certificates— to give recogni¬ tion. The idea is not what we give, but who we give it to,” Ms. Garcia added. Those wishing an invitation and or to nominate someone for this award should contact the Office of Chicano Affairs, ext. 486. —Courier Photo by Donald Casey MARK CLARK— Unopposed candidate for Sophomore Class president, Clark is now president of Circle K.

The Curriculum and Instruction Committee created a new sub¬ department on campus and added several new courses to the graded curriculum recommendations. Most of the May 1 meeting dealt with new courses within the Life Sciences Department. Radiology courses ranging in numbers 2 through 7 were added to the curriculum establishing a new sub¬ department. Introduction to Radiologic Technology, (Radiology 2,) deals with radiographic terms, significance and biological effects of x-radiation, principles of protection for operators and patients, and devices and techniques to reduce radiation ex¬ posure. Radiographic Anatomy and Positioning, (Radiology 3) begins with a review of human anatomy. The course also deals with topographic anatomy emphasizing the use of surface landmarks to locate organs, and the relationship of organs within each body region. Principles of Radiographic Procedures (Radiology 4A), covers the equipment operation and technical factors used in image formation, development and use of technique charts for patient examinations, and composition and uses of contrast agents and radiopaques in radiography. Principles of Radiographic Procedures, (Radiology 4B) discusses nursing procedures and techniques used in the general care of the patient with emphasis on the role of the x-ray technologist in various nursing situations. The course also involves work in pediatric radiography and radiograph critique. Special Radiographic Procedures (Radiology 5), involves study in specialized technical procedures in radiography, use of equipment and opaque media, and radiograph critique. Administration and Office Procedures, (Radiology 6,) deals with administration and office procedures of the radiology department and general hospital procedures. Radiologic Technology and Field Practice, (Radiology 7,) deals with supervised field practice in a hospital. Radiology 130, will now be classified as Radiology 1. The new additions complete the program of radiology that is offered in conjunction with hospitals’ field training and instruction in the com¬ munity. Also added within the Life Sciences Department are Men’s Hair Design, Barber 101, A and B, and Physiology and Anatomy, Physiology 10. Barber 101A and В provide technical information and artistic techniques in professional hair styling for men. The courses are designed to qualify master barbers for specialization and ad¬ vancement. Physiology 10 involves structure and torm of the human body, function and behavior of body organs and structure. A survey of medical and surgical disease, and biological alteration following chemical and physical change is also covered. The Men’s Physical Education Department added P.E. Theory 35 and 37. Theory of Track and Field (Men) (PE Theory 35), deals with the study and analysis of basic and advanced techniques in each of the track and field events. Theory and philosophy of coaching, and organization of meets and schedules is also included in the course. Theory of Baseball (Men), (P.E. Theory 37) deals with the study and analysis of advanced and basic fun¬ damentals, theory and philosophy . of offensive and defensive strategy, and principles of practice, organization and score keeping. Two courses, in the Engineering and Technology Department, Arrest and Fire Arms, and Introduction to Correctional Science, were held for further study. Weaponless Defense for Women was defeated and referred back to the Engineering and Technology Department to be absorbed into ex- sisting courses and simply divided into two sections-one for men, one for women. For additional information on any of the newly added courses, contact the counseling center. Publicity Code Remains ASB elections will be held as scheduled, and the ASB constitution and publicity codes will remain un¬ changed. These decisions were made by Jim Brownfield, ASB president, after he received reports that both the Con¬ stitutional Revision Committee and the Publicity Code Revision Com¬ mittee failed to make any changes. The Constitutional Revision Com¬ mittee, established by Brownfield at the last board meeting, was asked to revise major flaws in the current constitution prior to the student body election. The changes were to include partial restructuring of student body offices to eliminate existing conflicts ot interest in student government. Seven members of the Board volunteered for the committee, but only the chairwoman, Martha Hubner, Same showed up at the scheduled meeting. No changes were submitted to the board. Another committee established last week by Brownfield was organized to iron out defects in the revised publicity code. The changes were to be sub¬ mitted to the Board for approval before the May 24 election. Again, several members of the Board volunteered for the committee, but, for various reasons, nobody came to the planned meeting. This left the original revised publicity code still in effect. Without a revised publicity code and- or desired constitutional changes, Robin Forester, election com¬ missioner, was prompted to ask the board to cancel this year’s elections. Ms. Forester added that only one student, at that time, had applied for office. Dr. Sarafian Honored эу Civic Association Dr. Armen Sarafian, president of PCC, will receive the Honorary Life Membership Award from the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and Civic Association Wednesday May 30. He will be honored in recognition of his many years of devotion to his community and college, at the Chamber’s annual meeting and banquet at the Pasadena Hilton. Dr. Sarafian will also attend the 1973 Community College Trustee Conference as a guest speaker May 25- 27 in San Diego. Chairman of a 31 College T.V.
