MAY 26, 1971
Paramedical Bldg.
Biles Tomorrow
PCC Nursing Department plans
many special activities for the
groundbreaking ceremonies for
the new Paramedical and Sciences
Building tomorrow from 4 p.m.
on.
Special invitations to partici¬
pate have been extended to all
PCC nursing alumni and to the
many medical and health affiliates
who have cooperated with PCC
through the years in developing
its nationally acclaimed nursing
program, according to Mrs. Joan
Davidson, chairman.
Following the 4 p.m. ground¬
breaking at Sierra Bonita and
Francisca streets, at 4:30 p.m. in
Sexson Auditorium the new era
in nursing at PCC will be hailed
by guest speakers Dr. Leonard
Fenninger, associate director for
Health Manpower, HEW; and Dr.
Mildred Montag, professor of
nursing, Columbia University.
Dr. Montag’s doctorial disserta¬
tion in 1951 at Columbia was the
basis on which the two-year Asso¬
ciate Degree Registered Nursing
program was designed.
PCC, under the direction of
Miss Lillian Vosloh, former chair¬
man of the Nursing Department,
was the only West Coast school of
the five in the nation selected in
1953 to set up a pilot program.
Dr. Montag and Miss Vosloh
worked closely on this pilot pro¬
gram, and through its resounding
success, revolutionized nursing
education.
Mrs. Davidson says, “It will be
a historic and memorable occa¬
sion to have these two leaders
meet again almost 20 years since
the founding of the program.”
Mrs. Davidson and faculty mem¬
bers Mrs. Marion Mosher (PCC
class of 1940) and Mrs. Betty
Wright (PCC class of 1961) look
forward to the return for the
groundbreaking of many of the
over 800 nursing graduates of
PCC.
After the program in Sexson
Auditorium, all visitors are wel¬
come to see the displays and dem¬
onstrations in the Quadrangle
from 5:30 p.m. on.
The Nursing Department will
have tours of the nursing labora-

Soghomonian Distusses
Grand Jury at Forum
By FREDRICK SALCIDO
The last social science forum of the semester, “The Grand Jury — •
Vigilance or Vigilante?” was held last Friday before an almost
capacity audience in 200C.
Speaker was Sam Soghomonian, assistant professor, Department
of Social Sciences and last year’s Los Angeles County Grand Jury
foreman, who presented a most interesting speech explaining the
origin and function of the grand jury.
Today everyone hears of the First Amendment to the U. S. Con¬
stitution guaranteeing freedom of speech and press, but few hear
of the Fifth Amendment that protects life, liberty, and property, and
states, “No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise
infamous crime, unless on presentment, or indictment of a Grand
Jury.”

tory in the
В
Building with stu¬
dents and faculty demonstrating
the many new teaching and learn¬
ing processes. During the last two
years the department has devel¬
oped many auto-tutorial processes
to assist nursing students to
achieve academic success in their
program.
Mrs. Davidson sees a bright fu¬
ture for the Nursing Department
with growth in all aspects of the
program — both registered and vo¬
cational — when the new building
is finished in about two years.
She also notes the growth of
allied health personnel through
the impact of legislative mandates
and federal sponsorship of all
types of health occupations.
Says member Melanee Moses,
“Our principal effort is to revive
ourselves so we are economically
self-dependent.”

Week Honored
Black students of PCC celebrat¬
ed Black Culture Week and the
birthday of Malcolm X with a va¬
riety of festivities last week.
Chief among these was a fash¬
ion show and dinner on Thursday
night, sponsored by the BSU. Fol¬
lowing the theme, “To Be Young,
Gifted, and Black,” participants
presented a variety of entertain¬
ments. These ranged from music
by the Larry Northington Quintet
through a karate exhibition and
dance demonstrations.
Stellar attraction of the evening
was an exhibition, “Fashions for
Any Occasion, and for the Young
at Heart.”
Spectators were thrilled by the
dazzling array of dashikis and
sarongs, kaftans and mumus, in
bright prints and basic colors.
These were the creations of the
models themselves, who were co¬
ordinated by Dr. Jeffalyn Johnson.
GROUNDBREAKING ceremonies will be held to¬
morrow afternoon to commemorate the begin¬
ning of construction on Pasadena City College's
new paramedical building. The ceremonies will
begin at 4 p.m. Following the formal ceremonies
several prominent speakers will appear in Sex¬
son Auditorium to commemorate the beginning
of construction.
UCLA Offers Special
Programs to Studeats
75 former and present PCC stu¬
dents will be among those allowed
to enter UCLA in the fall of 1971
under other than regular admis¬
sion requirements, it was recently
announced.
Sullivan Lauded as
1 College Individual '
Mark Sullivan, last semester’s
Sophomore Class president, was
recently cited by the Los Angeles
Area Chamber of Commerce
Women’s Division as College In¬
dividual of the Year.
Sullivan instituted a program
at PCC to bring the handicapped
youth into the “normal” teenage
world. He sponsored parties with
live bands and rock concerts, in
order to share his life with the
handicapped.
In organizing the first High
School Special Education Day on
campus, he hoped to encourage
deaf, blind, and orthopedieally
handicapped students to continue
their educations.
Among other activities, he is
on the LA County Coordinating
Committee for the Employment
of the Handicapped, and the East
San Gabriel Valley Mayor’s Com¬
mittee for the Handicapped.
The award was presented to
Sullivan by Jerry Dunphy of
KNXT News and Mrs. Ronald
Reagan.
PCC is one of a select few ju¬
nior colleges being permitted to
participate in this new and inno¬
vative program aimed at giving
a greater number of ethnic mi¬
nority students the opportunity to
attend college beyond the junior
college level.
In order to be eligible to partici¬
pate in this program, the students
must meet several qualifications.
First they must meet federal
poverty standards. Under these
standards, a student must be a
member of a family with an an¬
nual income of less than $6000.
However, this figure may be ad¬
justed up to $10,000 according to
the number of persons in the fam¬
ily-
Second, the student must be in-
admissable to UCLA under regu¬
lar admission standards. Regular
admission standards for a JC
transfer would be 56 transferrable
units with a 2.4 grade point ave¬
rage.
The student, however, must
show sufficiently successful PCC
work to give him and PCC confi¬
dence in his ability and readiness
to compete at the university.
A third point of the program is
that a student must be recom¬
mended by a PCC counselor or
faculty member as having the
potential to complete the work
for his degree in two and one-half
or three years.
To complete this requirement,
an applicant needs basic skills in
reading, writing, critical ability,
abstract reasoning, and mathe¬
matics.
Other qualifications for a stu¬
dent to be accepted into this pro¬
gram are that he be a California
resident and that the student be
willing to attend a six-week sum¬
mer session (probably late July
to September), and while it is not
a requirement of the program,
priority will be given to those
students who have participated in
Upward Bound, Talent Search or
any other program showing the
student’s potential.
Two things will be done for the
student once he has been accepted
in the program. First, UCLA will
provide financial aid for which a
need analysis shows the student
is eligible, and second, UCLA will
provide both tutoring and coun¬
seling while the student is attend¬
ing the Westwood Campus.
If you believe you are eligible
and wish to apply, applications
are available in 112C. These ap¬
plications should be filled out and
returned before May 28. You
should also complete a recommen¬
dation form for the use of the
selection committee.
Those students elected for the
program will be notified by June
15.
