JC Bond
Vote Set
A $65 million bond issue will
face California voters when they
go to the polls Tuesday.
If the issue is approved, it will
provide funds to acquire sites,
construct buildings, and purchase
equipment for California’s fast¬
growing junior college system.
Funds will be distributed to the
state’s 67 junior college districts,
including Pasadena City College.
The Pasadena Area Junior Col-
dorsed the bond issue because it
would provide “much needed
building funds and would simul¬
taneously relieve demands on lo¬
cal property taxes.”
Leading the drive on behalf of
the issue is the California Junior
College Association, whose mem¬
bership includes the state col¬
leges.
The essence of the organiza¬
tion’s argument is that junior
colleges are carrying the bulk of
the educational load and getting
the short end of the educational
dollar.
Eighty per cent of California’s
freshman and sophomore stu¬
dents are attending one of the
state’s 81 junior colleges, CJCA
says.
This, according to a Citrus Col¬
lege publication, is more than
twice the combined number of
students (undergraduates) enroll¬
ed at the University of Califor¬
nia and at state colleges.
“National reseai’ch data indi¬
cates that California lags behind
'most other states in support for
junior college, while simultane¬
ously the state relies more heavi¬
ly on the junior colleges to as¬
sume a major responsibility fol¬
lower division education under
the Master Plan for Higher Edu¬
cation,” CJCA contends.
Veterans:
New Club
Veterans attending PCC may
now join a club being organized
especially for them.
Bob Henry, an organizer, says
one of the purposes of the club is
to get ex-servicemen more involv¬
ed in campus activities.
Henry hopes the veterans on
campus, who he says are gener¬
ally more mature because they
are older and have had military
experience, will be more vocal in
presenting their points of view.
The club will also provide fel¬
lowship for ex-servicemen. Com¬
ing on campus from the service,
they often are strangers, unlike
