PCC Courier, May 27, 1977

By Joseph Riser Editor-in-Chief Members of the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) will be allowed to sell literature on campus following what they have termed a “long battle” against the college’s Students Rights and Responsibilities policy. Douglas Kihn, a spokesman for the group, said that the YSA has been given the right to sell Socialist Workers’ Party literature on campus for one day per week beginning last Tuesday. “The Board of Trustees’ policy is going to open so they can sell, but we haven’t taken up the policy yet with the Board,” said Dr. E. Howard Floyd, superintendent-president. “There are other sales on campus and I think we should be consistent,” said Floyd. PCC’s present Board policy on the matter states that only publications produced as part of a PCC class are allowed to be sold. The change in the policy, if im¬ plemented by the Board, was recommended by the college’s at¬ torney, Deputy County Counsel Steve Matson, who has been in contact with the representative for the YSA from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) according to A1 Kauti, dean of student activities. "It was his (Matson’s) opinion based on other court cases that the Rights and Responsibilities policy needed some modifications ... in the distribution of political literature and information,” said Kauti. The college can place policies on the time, place and manner, according to Kauti. Kauti explained that groups will still need to get clearance from the deans of student activities in order to set up sales. This is “not to censor, not to approve material, but to facilitate the activities of campus clubs so as not to have 10,000 groups, or have two con¬ flicting groups in close proximity.” “What we really want is the right of every group, to sell as it is on other campuses in the country,” said Kihn. Sale of the literature began Tuesday in the Quad with a single table and PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1977 copies of Socialist Worker’s Party literature and copies of the newspaper, “The Militant.” The YSA contacted the ACLU about selling on this campus in March 1976 after the group was not allowed to sell its literature. At that time, Dr. Floyd received a letter from the ACLU about the matter which was referred to Matson. At that time, then YSA president Joanne Tortorici said, “If we can’t win this by a pressure campaign, then we definitely plan to take this to court.” Floyd intends to recommend the change of policy to the Board of Trustees at its regular meeting on July 2. Until then, the YSA will be allowed to sell, according to Kauti. PERMISSION GRANTED— Members of the Young Socialiat Alliance (YSA) have won permission to sell their literature and newspaper, The Militant, on campus. The group, since 1976, has sought per¬ mission to sell at the college. Upon final approval of the Board of Trustees, the YSA will be granted permission to sell the material one day per week. —Courier Photo by Annitta Hollis Socialists Allowed To Sell Literature UCSD Chancellor To Be Graduation Speaker Adviser Calls Supreme Council Verdict Illegal' By Maria Leon Staff Writer Dr. William McElroy, chancellor at the University of California, San Diego, will give the commencement address June 17 at 6:30 p.m. near the mirror pools. Dr. McElroy was graduated in 1937 from Pasadena Junior College. He received his B.A. from Stanford University, his M.A. from Reid College and his Ph D. in biochemistry from Princeton University. After working at Johns Hopkins University for 10 years, he became chairman of the Biology Department in 1956. Dr. McElroy was appointed director of the National Science Foundation and was member ex officio of the National Science Board in 1969. He has been acting chancellor of the University of California at San Diego since 1972. Plans have been drawn up for ex¬ pansion of D104 to create a Radio-TV- Speech lab. The reason, said Leonard Knapp, director of maintenence and operations, was the lack of room in C Building. Budget for the building and equipment is $70,000. The lab will house equipment to implement Radio-TV-Speech courses. The cameras mounted in the studio, sound-proofing and special lighting are among the planned improvements. According to Gene Stough, chief engineer of PCC-TV and KPCS, the lab’s basic purpose is as a general all¬ purpose room serving the campus. Dr. McElroy was awarded the Stanford Athletic Board Distinguished Service Award, the Man of Achievement in Science Award and the American Institute of Biological Sciences President’s Meritorious Award in 1973 and the Naval Elec¬ tronic Laboratory Center’s Con¬ tribution to Science’ Award in 1974. He has acted as a member of the Board of Scientific Counselors of the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, NIH- Biochemistry Study Panel, the Department of Defense’s Science Advisory Committee and the Office of Naval Research’s AIBS Microbiology Advisory Committee. He has also served as president for the Society of General Physiologists, American Society of Biological Chemists and American Institute of Biological Sciences. “It is to increase instructional services on the campus,” said Stough. “Instructors can give demonstrations and then play them back to criticize themselves, their teaching methods. The lab will be available to all in¬ structors on campus.” Plans to build a complete studio were originally contained in the construction contract for D, E and К Buildings. The plan was deleted from the contract when it was decided the ceiling structure should be different. The latest plans were compiled by William Shanks, chairman of the Communication Department; David Ledbetter, dean of Instructional dr. william Mcelroy Commencement Speaker Services; Harold Salisbury, acting chairman for Instructional Service; and Stough. The construction plans are scheduled to open for bids following Board approval. Work by Maintenance and Operations crews will take ap¬ proximately three weeks once started. However, the bulk of the work may take at least another two months, according to Stough. The construction is hoped to be completed by Sep¬ tember. Problems will arise, though, from the 18-week delivery time. Also planned is revamping of a control booth in C Building to combine its uses for the students’ benefits. By Joseph Riser Editor-in-Chief The adviser to the Supreme Council has called a recent meeting of that group, in which ASB President Brad Baldwin was blamed for an incident during an ASB Board meeting, illegal. Dr. Harry Sarkisian, faculty adviser to the Council, has said that the meeting was not held in the proper way and that the group’s method of in¬ forming him about that meeting was not good business practice. On May 13, the Supreme Council determined that it would not be necessary for Albert Bevans, chair¬ man of the PASA steering committee, to apologize to the ASB Board for a disturbance created by his actions at a May 5 meeting. The committee held that Baldwin did not “to the best of his ability perform the duties requested of him” at that ASB Board meeting. According to Ron Weekly, chairman of the Council, a call was placed to the office of Dr. Sarkisian two hours before the meeting was to be held to inform him. Dr. Sarkisian was not there but his secretary said that she was sure that Dr. Sarkisian would feel that the meeting was acceptable and that he would be pleased to have the com¬ mittee active again, Weekly said. BIG BAND SOUNDS Nostalgia time conies to Harbeson Hall Thursday night at 8:15 when members of PCC’s Swing Band present a concert, directed by Paul Kilian, music instructor. Admission is free. Dr. Sarkisian said that in addition to not informing him properly, that the Council was not within its rights in appointing its own interim adviser. According to Weekly, the Council unanimously appointed Dr. Robert Navarro, specialist for Chicano af¬ fairs, as their adviser for that meeting. “I’m either their adviser or I’m not,” said Dr. Sarkisian. “Nobody is above the law, and the law on this “On Stage, Everybody!” a talent show sponsored by the Faculty Association and the Associated Student Body (ASB), will be presented in Sexson Auditorium Friday, June 3, at 8 p.m. The show has been set in three scenes— saloons from the early 1900’s, speakeasies from the 1920’s and discotheques from the 1950’s and 1970’s. These scenes provide the at¬ mosphere for the music, dancing and acting which will take people on a trip throughout the decades. The whole show, “from production through usher service,” will be a cooperative effort by members from the student body, staff and faculty, said Peggy Wardlaw, dance instructor and member of the organizational committee. campus is that you have an adviser and you do your thing with him.” Dr. Navarro was one of three possibilities considered by the Council, according to Weekly. Dr. Sarkisian said that the meeting and any decision made there are not binding as far as he is concerned and that he will wait for the Council to contact him and attempt to correct the situation. Representatives from the Music Department and Communication Department and students from social, jazz and tap dance classes will par¬ ticipate in the performance. Highlights of the show will include “Rag Time Piano” with Keith Miller and Janet Villacana, “Torch Singers” with Crystal Watson and Jean Craw¬ ford, and “College Canteen Entertain¬ ment” with Bill Logan and Norm Rittgers. Part of the scenes from the “Odd Couple,” “Grease” and “I’m Sorry, the Bridge Is Out” will be presented by drama students. Tickets cost $2 and can be purchased in the College Bank or from A1 Turn- bull in the Business Department or at the door. D Building Expansion Plans Will Create Lab for Radio-TV-Speech ASB-Faculty Present 'On Stage Everybody' Battle Against Apathy Prompts High Turnout ASB Office Race Attracts Numerous Candidates Students voting Thursday and Friday in the student body general election will be facing the largest slate of candidates in many semesters. A total of 15 students are running for one or more of the nine elected fall ASB positions with a contest in each of the races. Two of these students are running for eight different offices. Polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Quad and voters must present their identification cards. According to Brad Baldwin, ASB president, this is the largest candidate turnout in the five years he has been involved with PCC. Baldwin attributed the turnout to the battle against student apathy undertaken by this semester’s ASB Board and the increasing involvement in activities by students as a whole. Notices were also sent out to department chairmen urging teachers to announce candidate deadlines to their classes and posters were placed around campus, in¬ creasing awareness of the opportunity, according to Mark Tellez, elections commissioner. Tellez said that with more candidates publicizing the race to their friends and classmates, many more students will be voting than usual. Last sehiester only two students were opposing each other for an office. Two other names appeared on the ballot but were running unopposed. Only approximately 250 students voted in that election. On the ballot for ASB president are Greg Devereaux, ^llyson Erick, Dan Garcia, Ria Georgilas, Gary Lookabaugh, Russ Moorehead, Jim Razor, and Ron Weekley. Running for vice-president are Ron Grant, Elena Rodrigues, Devereaux and Lookabaugh. Candidates for Senate president are Moses Jones, Devereaux and Lookabaugh. Anita Cosey, Sue Griffin and Jenny Hardwick are running for Associated Women Students president. Contesting the office of Associated Men Students president are Michael Leonard, Devereaux and Lookabaugh. Running for the offices of Inter-Club Council president, Senate first vice-president, Athletics president and Sophomore Class president are Devereaux and Lookabagh without any other opposition. The following is a list of statements released by the presidential candidates : Greg Devereaux: “How do you get things done? By knowing the right people. I know them!” Allyson Erick: “The purpose of government is to translate the ideas of the people into action and make a reality of them. Ideas— action— reality.” Dan Garcia: “Recently, student government here at PCC has been a bad example of what the total college can produce. Throughout this semester, I have analyzed and participated in student government here and have found that it is possible to ‘put it together’ but you need the right people in the right positions.” Ria Georgilas: “Ria Georgilas is responsible, in¬ formative and most of all an active student at PCC. She was tapped into OMD for her dedication to the Com¬ munications Department this semester and is also active in drama and radio, TV, film.” Gary Lookabaugh: “Having been involved with student government at PCC for the past four years, I feel anyone concerned enough to vote in this election has had enough concern to seek out the attributes of all can¬ didates.” Russ Moorehead: Did not wish to make a statement. Jim Razor: “ ‘Student power’— my campaign thrust steifis from this idea. Students deserve more than they’re getting from the school. Real world experiences do not happen in a classroom environment.” Ron Weekley: “As ASB president I will, to the best of my ability, bring student government to the students, excluding none. I will concentrate on involving such forgotten groups as veterans, women and all minorities in the many areas they as students can and should be in¬ volved.” Candidates Televised PCC-TV will preempt morning programming on Monday between 9 a.m. and noon to give ASB candidates a chance to voice their views. All candidates run¬ ning for ASB office who wish to make statements should contact Phyllis Jackson, dean of student activities in the Campus Center. The closed circuit television station will present the candidates live on Monday and repeat the broadcast on Tuesday during the same time period.
