Campus Gets New
Look in Moves to
Gain Parking Area
Pasadena City College’s cam¬
pus took on a new look recently
as plans to increase parking fa¬
cilities on the crowded campus
swept into full swing.
Most obvious of the measures
to solve the pressing problems
of attempting to' squeeze more
than 2000 cars into 1138 parking
spaces daily is the removal of
the deodars flanking the Hill
Avenue entrance to the campus.
An earlier move to reduce the
crowding was the conversion of
the women’s athletic field on the
corner of Hill and Colorado to
parking area.
The deodars on the west side
of the campus were a relic of the
original plans to make the Hill
Avenue entrance the main en¬
trance to the college. Two trees
are left standing; the removal of
the others made parking space
for more than 100 cars.
At the same time, students
were requested by Dr. William
B. Langsdorf not to bring their
cars to school, since the meas¬
ures taken are not enough to
solve the problem if additional
cars are brought to school.
Lancers Grab Five
Excellent Certificates
Four Pasadena City College speech students brought five
excellent certificates back from the first intercollegiate foren¬
sics tournament of the year, according to forensics coach Dr.
Paul Smith. The events were held at San Diego State College
last weekend.
Competing with collegians from
15 Southern California junior
colleges, the PCC speakers in¬
cluded two members who were
entering their first tournament.
An excellent certificate in the
field of discussion was awarded
to Anita Wilcott. Similar awards
in impromptu speaking were cop¬
ped by Ken Pager and Jim Gal¬
braith. Winning certificates of
excellence in oratory were Ken
Pager and Magne Engen.
No winning schools were de¬
clared at this tournament, which
is a practice event before the
opening of the forensics season.
Contests were held in the fields
of discussion, impromptu, ora¬
tory, extemporaneous speaking,
and interpretation.
Next activity of the forensics
squad will be participation in the
LACC tourney this weekend.
