This is the fourth fund-raising drive for the Boys’ Club since it burned to the ground last May. Fund-raising chairman John Eikenbery hopes to clear $10,000. Football Came To Raise Funds John D. Eikenbery, dean of student activities and past president of the Greater Pasadena Kiwanis Club, announces a benefit football game here Sunday. All proceeds from the game, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, will go to the reconstruction of the MacKenzie Branch Boys’ Club at 2020 N. Fair Oaks. The club, which serves ap¬ proximately 7000 boys in northwest Pasadena, burned to the ground last May. Everything except the foundation was destroyed, including all office supplies, furniture, photo equipment, and arts and crafts materials. Fire insurance did not come close to covering the entire loss. Because the property belongs to the Boys’ Club, a new building is being constructed on the same site. In the meantime, many boys have been bussed to the center at 363 E. Villa. Following the fire a fund-raising drive began. The goal is $300,000. Eikenbery shares his job as fund¬ raising chairman with Charles Cherniss, editor of the Star-News, and Jim Shern, chief of the Pasadena Fire Department. A pre-game show will start the ac¬ tion at 1 p.m. The Pasadena Crown City Kings and the San Fernando Valley Free Lancers will battle it out on the field after the 2 p.m. kickoff. Several door prizes will be given including a Honda motorcycle. The Kings, a Pasadena amateur football team, plays in the same semi- pro league as the Free Lancers, the High Desert League. They pay for their own insurance, buy their own equipment and practice two or three times a week without compensation. Walt Butler and Buford Wilson, campus relations liaisons, will play Sunday for the Kings. Both are PCC graduates. Butler handles kickoffs and returns and plays defensive safety. Wilson is halfback. Many services have been donated. Jerry Todd, PCC gymnastics coach, is the announcer ; Joe Barnes, basketball coach, is the timer and scorekeeper. The maintenance crew and chain gang are also providing their support. Tickets are $3 for adults and $1 for children. Purchases can be made at all Pasadena fire stations, the Greater Pasadena Kiwanis Club or at PCC. This is the fourth fund raising drive for the Boys’ Club since the fire. Eikenbery hopes to clear $10,000 at this event. A grand opening for the new Boys' Club is planned for March, 1974. —Courier Photo by David Rust 2 P.M. KICKOFF— Mark Davis tries to kick as far as Walt Butler, who leads the High Desert League in kickoffs and punt returns with an average of 30.5 yards per return. Butler intends to come on strong for the Kings when they meet the San Fernando Valley Free Lancers.

It will deal with various aspects of the theme, “Equality in Health Care?”. The charge for the workshop is $1 for SNAC members and $1.50 for non-members. “This workshop is to present some of the issues pertinent to quality health care in the richest country in the world. We do not have adequate health care for the people today, right here in our own neighborhood, as well as throughout the U.S. and the world,” says Carolyn Jones, president of PCC’s SNAC chapter. Joan Berg, R.N., will speak about her involvement with the sick-out at Cedars of Lebanon, held as a protest against understaffing and the death of several patients, who, the par¬ ticipating nurses claimed, died because of inadequate care. Pending legislation in Sacramento, that is related to health care, is to be presented to the workshop by Margo Brant. Humberto Bracho plans to examine the ethics and politics of psychosurgery. Phyllis Paxton, Los Angeles director of Project Breakthrough, represents this federally funded pilot program with a report on the progress the program has made in recruiting and retaining minority nursing students. One feature of Project Breakthrough is a tutorial program aimed at retaining students who, with a little help, will successfully complete nurses’ training but might otherwise drop out. Bike Networks Needed for 55,000 Local Cyclists Pasadena City Board Directors Robert White, Chuck McKinney and Tim Matthews will speak in Harbeson Hall next Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 7:30 p.m. They, along with members of the Student Senate, the Sierra Club Conservation Committee and the Bike¬ way Committee, will discuss the possi¬ bilities of creating bike networks across the Pasadena area. This is in response to the 4000 signatures collected by the Bikeway Committee last semester petitioning for bikeways in Pasadena. “This is a significant victory,” said Vincent Hughes, director of the Campus Bikeway Committee. The committee, comprised of Hughes, Dorothy Byles and Philip Davies., along with a handful of students, has been struggling for years to promote the idea of bikeways in Pasadena. The three city board directors, who are staunch supporters, now have to convince the other four on the board about the feasibility of bikeways in Pasadena. There are an estimated 55,000 bike owners in Pasadena. A growing number is adults. To many students, bikes are the sole means of transporta¬ tion to PCC. Hughes is convinced that more students would ride their bikes to school if there were pathways not dominated by the automobile. Just last week, Joe Chavez, director of the Student Transportation Committee, was hit by a truck while cycling on his way from school. “Pasadena is a developed city,” says Hughes. “Since there is no free land, Pasadena would have to revamp certain streets and trails into bike¬ ways, which is a difficult procedure.” All interested students are welcome to attend the meeting. Wildlife Film Features Wakemans Adventure Norm Wakeman, PCC biology in¬ structor, and the film “From Palm Springs to Lake Louise” will be featured at the Tuesday Evening Forum, Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 7:30 in Sexson Auditorium. A Stanford graduate with majors in biology and chemistry, Wakeman became an expert wildlife photographer and lecturer. He has contributed to the Walt Disney True Life Adventures, to the films of the Moody Institute of Science, and the television shows, Bold Journey, Disneyland, I Search for Adventure, Checkerboard Square, George Pierrot Presents, Michigan Bell Telephone /akeman Show, the Mutual of Omaha Show, and Westinghouse Adventure. He is also author of two wildlife books, “Southwest Desert Won¬ derland,” and “Wonders of the World Between the Tides.” Some of Wakeman’s most attractive films and lectures include “Pacific Shores,” one of the most complete travel-adventure film coverages of the Pacific Coast from Southern California to Canada, and “Seattle to Mt. McKinley,” a look at Alaska’s natural beauties and the great game preserve. Mt. McKinley National Park. Tuesday’s film shows Wakeman following the spring season northward, over a five-month period, starting in March in the Southern California desert, and ending in July in the Canadian Rockies. Fascinating and humorous sequences include coyotes, bobcats, roadrunners and other desert animals. Wakeman packs through the Sierra, to the Lake Tahoe area, filled with the nostalgia of early California. Shortly after, he enters the Cascade range, where Mt. Shasta and other extinct volcanos are located. After crossing Oregon and Idaho, he arrives in Wyoming and Jackson Hole, the last remnant of the old west in Grand Teton National Park. Wakeman takes part in a wild horse roundup and a thrilling ride down the Snake River on a raft. Not satisfied, he climbs Majestic Grand Teton with a rope. In Yellowstone Park, he takes camera shots of bears, moose, elk and pronghorned antelopes. Finally, he reaches Glacier National Park and passes through the Canadian customs on to Lake Louise. Socorro Ortiz, L.A. Trade Tech in¬ structor, is scheduled to assess the “ladder program” now in effect there. This program permits a student to obtain an LVN license after one year of study, with the option of later applying the first year of study to a two-year R.N. program. SNAC is one of 52 units of the National Student Nurses’ Association. Membership is open to all student nurses. One of its goals is to promote unity between RNs and LVNs, in the belief that the unity of nursing per¬ sonnel benefits both the nurse and the patient. “SNAC is beginning to act now to troubleshoot the tremendous under¬ staffing problems at hospitals and health care facilities that are now affecting nurses and health workers,” says Miss Jones. There is an Ad-Hoc Committee on Overcrowding, working to prove the need for more nurses and prevent additional cutbacks in California’s nursing schools. “PCC is the only school in this area that has expanded its nursing program,” says Miss Jones. She credits the successful efforts of Joan Davidson, director of nursing and Dr. Armen Sarafian, president of PCC, to obtain HEW financing for the para¬ medical building, with making PCC the exception. Future plans of SNAC at PCC in¬ clude an acupuncture demonstration, next semester, to which all students will be invited. PCC Hosts First Speech Tournament Over 300 students, from 40 schools, with some as far away as Arizona, will compete in PCC’s first Invitational Forensic Contest, Nov. 16 and 17. Students will compete in categories including Debate, Persuasive, In¬ formative and Impromptu Speaking, Oral Interpretation, and Readers’ Theater. “The purpose of this event is to develop students’ speaking skills, poise, and their ability to think under pressure,” said Chrystal Watson, director of forensics at PCC. “This is an excellent opportunity for the students to gain practical ex¬ perience early in the year,” she added. “This is the only community college tournament held in the fall, so we expect it to be a very high-powered and exciting event.” PCC’s forensics squad has been doing exceedingly well in past years. Last year at the National College Phi Rho Pi Speech Tournament, Don Applegate won first place honors in informative speaking while Mary Mangotich and David Chambers placed second nationally in debate. PCC was fourth in the sweepstakes division with over 630 contestants from 85 junior colleges across the United States. PCC’s entrants in this month’s tournament are Tom Carter, Millie Crisp, Pat Love, Margaret Duncan, Jim Sayer, Ali Meherally, Fred Lobb, Jim Williams, Jose Peraza. Nan Eimer, Bob Gephart, Yolanda Tavala, Stephen Hassell. Steve Richter, Bob Martin, Barbara Mitchell, Eric Bergman, Nora Masterson and Chris DeVore. Many of the events will be video¬ taped by the PCC telecommunications division, and a half-hour program featuring the highlights of the tourna¬ ment will be presented as part of the Telescope series, when it returns to KABC. Channel 7, in January. A full schedule of events, with exact times and dates for the individual competition, is available at the Speech and Forensics office, A95. i Couteet Vol. 36, No. 6 Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California November 9, 1973 Transportation Problem Unsolved Due to Lack of Time and Money NOT ENOUGH— Joe Chavez, chairman of the Student Trans¬ portation Committee, lacks time and money necessary to imple¬ ment proposed office of student transportation. Lack of time and money has forced the new Student Transportation Committee to cancel all immediate plans for solving the problems of transportation facing PCC students. Until this week, the committee had been working on plans to deal with student problems relating to transpor¬ tation. Areas concerning the committee included parking, bikeways, a com¬ puterized carpool program and all other forms of student transportation. To coordinate these programs and" implement their ideas, student committee members planned to establish a Student Transportation Office with five part-time salaried employees. Joe Chavez, chairman of the com¬ mittee, estimated the cost of his program at $8684 per year. This figure would include salaries, office supplies and incidentals. Chavez presented his budget to the Faculty Parking and Transportation Committee, asking for its endorsement. The administrators reviewed the budget and held back endorsement pending a detailed feasibility study which the Parking and Transportation Committee would finance. Chavez and his committee rejected December Extravaganza Plan Outlined by Senate The Student Senate outlined plans for the December extravaganza at its meeting last Tuesday. The four days of festivities will be held Dec. 12-15. They will start with evening movies Wednesday. A com¬ mittee has been set up to select the films. “Andromeda Strain,” “Cat Ballou,” “Slaughter House Five” and “M.A.S.H.” are some of the films being considered. One-act plays will be shown Thur¬ sday afternoon. Thursday evening the battle of the bands will commence. Bands playing that evening will contest each other to select the winner, who will play with Ike and Tina Turner Saturday night. Another round of one-act plays will be shown Friday afternoon. The big day, Saturday, will start off with kiddie plays and various carnival games during the day. This will climax with the Ike and Tina Turner concert that evening. The Senate has appropriated money for a 17 1 2-foot Christmas tree for the occasion and also set up a committee to decorate it. Some senators expressed reluctance in giving Ike and Tina Turner’s agent the $5000 down payment required for them to play. One senator feared that selling tickets to non-students would bring a rough and disorderly crowd to the concert. Extra units of the Pasadena Police, along with the usual campus security, will be present to prevent disturbances. Joe Chavez, finance commissioner for the ASB, announced a new finan¬ cial plan that will cut financial red tape with the ASB finances. In the past, when the ASB approved a fund allotment for a certain organization, the funds had to go through five signatures and a two- week delay. The new plan calls for the ASB president, Dean Phyllis Jackson, and the finance commissioner to each have an account. When funds have been approved by the ASB for an organization, one will give the money directly to that organization and the fund will be replenished by the ASB central account later. Chavez’ financial plan will be sub¬ mitted to the ASB for approval. the offer, claiming the feasibility study would take too much time. “It will take a committee two years to do a study, get funding and start a program at PCC,” said Chavez. “We are going to write a document stating what we have done and the problems we have encountered so students in future years might be able to continue what our committee has begun.” Movie Studio Filming Here Heeds People Aspiring actors and actresses have a chance to be an unpaid extra in the filming of one segment of a major motion picture here Thursday, Nov. 15. A Hollywood film company will film a two-minute segment of a comedy to be released next August. Student extras will stage a protest demon¬ stration in the campus quad. During the demonstration, two police units come on campus demanding that the group disperse. Instead of sitting down, as has been the custom for demonstrators, everyone takes off running in all directions. Freshman president Steve Kosch attended a recent production meeting of the film company and suggested that they use this campus in their film. PCC’s radio station KPCS will do the audio for this segment of the film. The four professional cameras to be used will be hidden around the quad so students won’t be nervous. Kosch will act as director. The company wants the segment to appear spontaneous, and hopes students will be more comfortable with Kosch as director and KPCS as the sound men. Students interested in being a part of this filming may contact Kosch in the Campus Center. r шШШ шШШк IRt % ш Man in His Underwear Attacks Woman in R Building Restroom A woman student was attacked while using the restroom in the Robbins Building last Monday. According to the student (who requested that her name be withheld), she entered the fourth floor women’s restroom around 1:15 p.m., when a young man came charging out of one of the cubicles in his underwear. When the man approached the victim, she began screaming and resisting, and he began hitting her. Fortunately there was a woman walking outside who heard the screams. She walked in to investigate. When the man saw the second woman he stopped the attack. Campus security arrived at tne scene, but the assailant had disap¬ peared. The victim suffered a bloody nose and bruises on her face. The women gave the assailant’s description to campus security, which notified the Pasadena Police Depart¬ ment. Fingerprints were taken in the restroom. «ИМ! 120 VOTE MARGIN — Melvin Burt, 65-year-old business executive, narrowly won the vacant Board of Trustees seat from Steve Kirschner, 20, in last Tuesday’s election.
