ASB Presidential Title Sought
By Wayne Traylor, Ernie Posey
By VAUGHAN INMAN
The campaign for student body
offices has boiled itself down to
two opposing slates of candidates.
One slate, campaigning under
the slogan “Bringing it all back
home,” is headed up by Wayne
Traylor running for president and
Jim Bowler for vice-president.
Also on the ticket is David Lowry,
running for Senate president.
Opposing them is a slate plac¬
ing Ernie Posey for president,
Bob Serrano for vice-president,
and Raoul Gagne for Senate pres¬
ident.
These slates were the result of
some last minute maneuvers
which resulted in Bowler switch¬
ing his candidacy from the pres¬
ident’s position to vice-president,
and Serrano droppng Traylor
from his slate in favor of Posey.
Traylor’s slate says that it is
in full support of athletics and co¬
educational student activities.
Posey’s slate also fully supports
athletics.
They would favor more eth¬
nic cultural activities. Bowler
says that he is for “Bringing back
an open door policy to all groups
RUDY FORDHAM
. . . unopposed for AMS
on campus.” An open door policy,
he says, would mean that they
would listen to the needs of all
student groups.
Activity Card
One of the big issues in the
campaign is the proposed Stu¬
dent Body Activity Card (SBAC)
improvements. Serrano says that
since he and Gagne did till the
work in preparing the changes,
they should be elevated. He says
that only he and Gagne have the
background which is needed to
make the card a success.
Traylor and Bowler claim that
since the studies which resulted
in the proposed changes were
commissioned by the ASB govern¬
ment of this semester, no candi¬
date has exclusive rights to them.
Their slate supports all of the
proposed changes.
Both slates support the idea of
a student body-run health clinic.
Bowler says that the manpower
is already here in the nursing
program. He suggested that the
old Pasadena Free Clinic might
be resurrected by the ASB so
that it could serve both PCC and
the community.
Health Clinic
Serrano says that the health
clinic could probably not be
achieved in one semester and that
the biggest roadblock is a lack of
funds. He says the supplies and
a place to put it are still prob¬
lems.
Gagne says he has talked to the
people at the church across the
street and it might be willing to
supply the space.
Traylor told the Courier that
he feels “Ernie Posey offers
nothing to the students.”
Gagne has said that he does
not feel that either Traylor or
Bowler has the follow through to
make effective students leaders.
Both groups favor more com-
muncations between the students,
faculty, and administration. Both
suggest that small groups talk¬
ing on the various issues that in¬
terest them would be beneficial to
better understanding.
Past Activities
Traylor was first semester Sen¬
ate vice-president. He served on
the Student Council at Muir, and
was on the Pasadena Youth Ad¬
visory Board.
Posey was first semester fresh¬
man president. At PHS he was
student body president. He has
never lost an election.
Bowler is the present Freshman
Class president.
Serrano has never held an
elected office here but has worked
in appointive offices.
Running for Senate president
on the “Bringing it all back
home” slate is Jim Herling. He
has promised more student in¬
volvement. Also he promises to
echo the wishes of the Sophomore
Class.
Rudy Fordham, who is serving
as commissioner of dialog and
Senate president, is running un¬
opposed for AMS president.
Patti Eikenbery is running un¬
opposed for the office of AWS
president.
Green Asks for $50,000 Increase
In Memorial Scholarship Fund
The ASB Board accepted in idea
eight proposals designed to im¬
prove student body activity card
sales at its seeting two weeks ago.
Bob Serrano, chairman of the
committee studying the problem,
outlined the committee’s program
to the board.
VIP, Variety International Pub¬
lications, a promotional advertis¬
ing firm which specializes in out¬
side discounts, will be used to help
increase sales.
The VIP program is nationwide
and sponsors activities on other
campuses, therefore PCC card
holders can profit by the program
during vacation time anywhere in
the nation.
VIP sponsors ASB assemblies,
sharing gate receipts with the
ASB.
Acts that VIP could get for PCC
this fall are Glen Campbell, Ser¬
gio Mendez and Brasil ’66, Herb
Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and
the Turtles.
The report’s other seven pro¬
posals are concerned with ways to
effectively publicize the SBA
card’s new uses.
Many Pamphlets
These include the printing of
14,000 pamphlets explaining the
card’s many uses, and an adver¬
tising campaign which includes
posters (in stores on Colorado
Boulevard between Lake and
Rosemead and on campus) and ra¬
dio spots on KRLA, KPPC, and
PCC’s KPCS.
At last week’s ASB Board meet¬
ing, Martin Green urged consider¬
ation of his proposal for a Martin
Luther King fund drive.
The fund, already existing at
PCC, is low limited, and the pro¬
posal is to increase it to a level
of $50,000.
The money would be put in a
savings and loan at 5 per cent, and
scholarships could be made solely
from the interest ($2500, or fifty
$50 scholarships per year).
Scholarships would be designed
to cover the approximate cost of
books for the recipient, and would
be open to all needy students.
One suggestion made was to
have a Martin Luther King Fund
Drive Week to augment the fund’s
assets.
C/NC Classes
Also at the last meeting Steve
Lantz, ICC president, gave the fi¬
nal recommendations of the Com¬
mittee to Study Credit/No Credit
to the Board. The committee rec¬
ommends that:
— C/NC classes not exceed 12
units (one 3-unit class per semes¬
ter) for each student
— C/NC courses be outside a
student’s major
C/NC be equal to grades “C,”
“B,” or “A”
— A student can elect to drop
a C/NC class up to the final ex¬
amination period
■ — Drops and withdrawals in
C/NC courses receive WO grades
— C/NC classes be taken with¬
out instructor’s knowledge of stu¬
dent’s choice (except for 400-499
numbered courses)
— Each department choose
which courses it will offer as
C/NC
— The student, to be eligible to
take a class on C/NC basis, elect
to do so at time of registration
— The student can petition for
a letter grade after five months
Charles Clark, Senate presi¬
dent, suggested a questionnaire to
survey student wants be distrib¬
uted at registration time, and per¬
haps also at freshman orientation
sessions.
Also announced at the meet¬
ing was the cost of graduation
ceremonies in front of the mirror
pool area: $3700.
