AMONG THE many who marched two weeks ago in protest of
President Nixon's Vietnam policies was this little anti-war kitten
who showed his (or his master's) feelings about the war by wear¬
ing a black armband. The kitten seemed to enjoy the warm sun
and the attention he was getting.
Fluoride, X-Rays Used

Although not in an ivory tower,
the hidden, little-known PCC Den¬
tal Clinic is as high above the
campus as possible.

Car Permit $5
This Summer
For $5, students planning to
attend the summer session may
obtain parking permits from the
College Bank, after June 1.
These permits, also for the staff
at $5, may be purchased in C228
also.
Unlike the fall and spring per¬
mits which cost $20 for daytime
privileges and $10 for evening us¬
age of the parking lots, day and
evening registrants are offered
the same price.
After a year that has witnessed
motorcycle theft eliminated and
automobile damage greatly re¬
duced, the merits and advantages
of the parking fee, coupled with
the included protection, are vir¬
tually self-evident.
Consumer protection is a politi¬
cal battle cry, but property protec¬
tion is a physical reality in the
PCC parking lots.
who wish to have their teeth
cleaned, x-rayed or treated with
fluoride (an important part of
preventive dentistry).
Supervising the dental students
at all times are a dentist and an
experienced dental hygenist.
To make an appointment for
dental services, one merely needs
to contact the receptionist in the
room of the fifth floor of the Rob¬
bins Building either in person or
by calling 792-1827.
While the clinic accepts anyone
over six years old, patients under
21 are required by state law to
present a note indicating parental
consent before being treated.
A small fee is charged because
the clinic is not wholly supported
financially by the college.
The clinic will remain in opera¬
tion until late July, with the pres¬
ent schedule for appointments of
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Wed¬
nesday mornings being altered
from Wednesday mornings to
Wednesday afternoons for the
summer sessions.
The receptionist notes, “We
need patients; with 15 chairs,
there is no waiting — no one will
have to wait more than a week at
the most for an appointment.”
“Bike for Life,” the main
source of revenue for proponents
of Proposition 9, the environment
initiative, will take place again
on Sunday, June 4.
This 40-mile bike ride will go
along the same route as the “Bike
for Life” of March 12. That ride
brought in almost $40,000 in the
San Gabriel Valley alone.
Along with the money, propo¬
nents of Proposition 9 feel that
Health Education 2 is a required
course, but until now, PCC stu-
dtnts have not had any choices in
taking the course as only one has
been offered.
Starting next semester, students
will have eight different health
education courses to choose from,
anyone of which will meet the re¬
quirement.
All of the health education
teachers met last semester to
discuss the future direction of
Spring Dance
PCC International Students will
host a spring dance Friday
night, June 2, upstairs in the
Campus Center lounge. The
semiformal event will last from
9 p.m. until 1 a.m. and will fea¬
ture two bands : the popular
Essence of Time and the PCC
Jazz-Rock Ensemble. Further
information may be had from
the International Student office,
C121.
New Ideas
for Drama
By KITTY WILKINS
Two young instructor-directors
with innovative ideas on how to
teach drama, and a group of
bright student actors spell a big
change this year for PCC’s newly
renovated Little Theater.
The two directors who have re¬
cently joined the PCC Communi¬
cation Department faculty are
Bruce Gill, who formerly taught
both at Muir High School and
PCC extended day classes, and
Duke Stroud, who taught at Santa
Monica City College.
The key to their new program
is total student involvement, and
Gill and Stroud are adding four
new classes to the drama curricu¬
lum next fall with that in mind.
“Most colleges hire professionals
to handle everything except the
acting,” said Stroud. “We want
our students to be the whole crea¬
tive process rather than just part
of it.”
This summer promises to be
busy for PCC’s actors. Students
enrolled in summer session drama
courses will put on a traveling
children’s show at hospitals, li¬
braries, grammar schools, parks
and recreation centers.
Last year students visited the
Shriner’s Hospital for crippled
Children in Los Angeles, and the
City of Hope is scheduled for this
summer.

“Bike for Life” promotes a great
deal of voter awareness.
This will be the main purpose
of the June 4 ride: to show sup¬
port for the environment initia¬
tive. Riders will be riding through
the San Gabriel Valley only two
days before the election to remind
voters to vote yes on 9 on June 6.
The “Bike for Life” works upon
the principle of “riders” and
“sponsors.” The riders obtain
health education at PCC. Many
of the teachers were concerned
about making the course more rel¬
evant to the needs and interests of
the students.
The teachers also took a student
poll to determine what kind of
health education the students wer
interested in taking. From the re¬
sults of the poll, Health Education
2 was extended from one course to
eight courses.
The courses include:
(1) Contemporary health issues,
(2) Environmental hazards and
man’s health; prevention and con¬
trol of disease, (3) Environmen¬
tal hazards and man’s health;
drugs and modem man, (4) Mar¬
riage and modern man; drugs and
modern man, (5) Marriage and
modern man; self-awareness, (6)
Nutrition and health; marriage
and modern man, (7) Nutrition
and health; environment hazards
and man’s health, and (8) Pre¬
vention of disease; nutrition and
health.
Each selective course, except
one, consists of two different top¬
ics, many of which are repeated
in a separate course with some
other topic.
Health education is a two-unit
course. It meets twice a week for
one hour at a time.
Hundreds of credit courses ran¬
ging from communication mathe¬
matics to world politics, in addi¬
tion to a full selection of non¬
credit classes, will be offered by
PCC during summer session be¬
ginning Monday, June 19.
Classes are scheduled from 7:30
a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through
Friday during the first session,
which ends July 29.
Approximately 140 courses will
be offered during the second sum¬
mer session, July 31 to Sept. 7.
There will be no Friday classes
during this session.
Non-credit courses cover such
varied interests as portrait paint¬
ing, aviation ground school
and key punch.. Many will be of¬
fered at PCC’s Community Adult
sponsors who pledge so much
money per mile that the rider
covers. After the ride, the rider
collects the money and sends it
to People’s Lobby, the main group
behind Proposition 9. All money
collected will be used to pay debts
accumulated in the campaign.
Those who rode in the March
12 “Bike for Life” are reminded
that they need not get any spon¬
sors. Their participation in the
second ride is what is important.
For riders from the Pasadena
area, the closest starting point
will be at Rosemead Park, located
at the corner of Mission Road and
Encinita Avenue in Rosemead.
There will not be a checkpoint at
PCC as there was March 12.
If you are interested in riding
in or helping with the “Bike for
Life,” call 285-3753 for informa¬
tion, or pick up bike cards in the
ecology office, upstairs in the
Campus Center.
Films Will
Be Shown
A free festival of films pro¬
duced by PCC students will
screen tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in
R122.
The movies were selected by
cinema instructor David Phillips
as among the best produced for
his classses during the past two
semesters. Subject matter runs
the gamut from satire to social
comment, and the films were
photographed in both 8 and 16
mm, color and black and white.
The films include Mike Fea-
zell’s “For Sale: The Future,”
Geoff Kern’s “Cinci,” Cliff Eng¬
land’s “Ascension,” Richard
Carnahan’s “Billy the Id,” and
“Confessions of a Night Nurse,”
and William Rosar’s “Closetful
of Memories,” “Satori,” “Au
Clair de Lune” and “Tribulation.”
Training Center, and most of
these are “bread and butter”
courses, according to William G.
Norris, dean of summer sessions.
“By bread and butter, we mean
courses that are not a luxury, but
are necessary for occupational
training and job placement,” Nor¬
ris said.
Courses will also be offered at
many other sites in the San Ga¬
briel Valley.
Summer credit classes are open
to any high school student who
has completed the 11th grade by
June and has the approval of his
principal. All prospective students
must satisfy admission and resi¬
dence reuirements.
Summer session brochures and
schedules are available in the
PCC Counseling Center.
'Run for Your Life'
Rounding Lust Curve
Rounding the last curve and heading into the final straightaway
is the “50 Mile Club.”
Also known as “Run for Your Life,” this program lasts until
June 10, when all the participants Who ran 50 miles this semester
will receive an award.
Since the beginning of the semester, when Chris MacIntyre and
Joanne Zwanziger of the Women’s PE Department introduced the
project, about 65 entrants signed up — some teachers, some men stu¬
dents, some women students.
Of these, at least six are on their second 50 miles, raising specu¬
lation as to whether there will be a special prize awarded to the
longest-distance runner.
The uncertainty of how many have run 50 is caused by the infor¬
mality of the program. Those who wish to participate may sign up
on the “50 Mile Club” board near the south entrance of the Women’s
Gym.
Then, the participants may run various distances at any conven¬
ient location and mark their travels on the board when they want to.
The project has drawn requests for continuance and for expan¬
sion to include bicycle recognition, though at increased distances.
PCC's Casa de Lancers' Now
Open to Public, up for Grabs
Dr. Armen Sarafian cut the ribbon last Friday at the grand open¬
ing of Model Home 20.
The model home will be available to the public for tours until an
owner is determined from those submitting sealed bids.
“Casa de Lancer” is presently located just northwest of Horrell
Field.
After Diane Cracknell’s interior decorating design was chosen
last January, PCC instructor Lome Johnson along with student super¬
intendents Victor Illig and Pierre Lamour took the responsibility for
every facet of the building.
“Casa de Lancer” is listed as a $17,000 home.
PCC students contribute all the labor required to build the struc¬
ture, while assistance from local businesses on the choice of furniture
was received.
