« WRITE-IN CANDIDATE Phyllis De Vine, black minority student repre¬ sentative, is conducting a write-in campaign for ASB president. She is a college peer counselor and plans to revitalize student govern¬ ment, establish a meaningful educational process for the individual student and bridge the gap between students, faculty and ad¬ ministrators. Salary Proposal Claims to Fight Cost of Living A salary proposal, which attracted some 250 classifed and certified PCC employes, crowded the Board of Trustees out of their usual meeting quarters and into a lecture hall last week. Secretary Lillian Castagna, classified representative, presented a proposal which asked for an 8 per cent cost of living adjustment. The certificated staff’s proposal made by Assistant Professor Stanley Hutchinson, asked for an 8 per cent non-inflationary adjustment. "The classified employees are requesting an adjustment to coun¬ teract the cost of living increase of the last two years,” said Mrs. Castagna. “Since many of our salaries are in the lower brackets, inflation is par¬ ticularly painful." Mrs. Castagna pointed out that the cost of everyday necessities has in¬ creased a great deal more than 8 per cent. “You may also be interested in knowing that out of 303 classified employes only 97 will receive an in¬ crease due to salary and service in¬ crements," she said. The certificated staff asked the board to adopt an 8 per cent ad¬ justment for maintenance of pur¬ chasing power. Hutchinson said their proposal in¬ cluded a request which is basically non-inflationary: a plan that is fair and reasonable to the staff, college and community: a plan that includes an automatic cost-of-living adjustment: and is a plan made in a manner con¬ sistent with professional negotiations. “It only represents maintaining the status quo since July 1. 1971. the time of the last salary adjustment. "At present time PCC has a well- recognized. hard-working competent staff— a staff that has been working together as a family for many years," said Prof. Hutchinson. “The amount of money allocated to staff salaries was referred to as an expense, a cost to the college. Salaries are really an investment in both the college and the community,” he said. The board postponed action on these proposals until sometime in the future. The audience gave an audible groan. “I’m not going to make up my mind in a hurry,” said trustee Charles F. Eckles. “No one is going to be hurt— it's no catastrophe. No one need make an excuse for careful study.” Radio Personality Talks Broadcast to Tuesday Forum The Communication Department's “Last Tuesday Forum" brings to PCC radio personality Dave Hull.

Chancellor Gives New Name to Police Science KGBS DEEJAY— Dave Hull reaches for another selection to play on the KGBS airwaves. Hull, formerly with radio stations KFI and KRLA, is a junior all-American coach as well as a popular disc jockey. As a speaker in the next Tuesday Evening Forum, he will use his wide experience as background for his talk on communication and broad¬ casting. Police Science courses at Pasadena City College will be offered under a new heading this fall: Administration of Justice, or AD JUS. A directive from the chancellor of the community colleges in Sacramento suggested fast fall that “Ad¬ ministration of Justice” should be chosen as the new title for the law enforcement programs in the junior colleges in California. The program encompasses law enforcement, the courts, and corrections. The chancellor felt that the new heading more appropriately describes the courses in the program. “The content of the classes has not been changed in any way from previous years, although some of the now carry a different said John Sullivan, associate professor in the Engineering and Technology Department. “We now have a core group of five courses, Introduction to the Ad¬ ministration of Justice. AD JUS 10, Concepts of Criminal Law. AD JUS 12, Legal Aspects of Evidence, AD JUS 14, Principles and Procedures of the Justice System, AD JUS 15, and Community Relations, AD JUS 18. The last course is especially emphasized by the police departments as a necessity. "These are the five courses that would add up to the 15 units a student transferring to Cal State LA is ex¬ pected to have in his major. “Some courses in the 100 series may also be transferable as electives. Good courses to add to the core program would be Criminal In¬ vestigation, Patrol Procedures, Traffic Control and Juvenile Control.” Coeds Vie for Chance To Reign at Carnival Omicron Mu Delta, PCC’s highest honorary service organization, is sponsoring a queen contest two weeks prior to the club's 44th annual car¬ nival, June 2.
