PCC Coeds Chosen
to Royal Court
The subject was roses Monday
when the Tournament of Roses
Association selected Margo Lynn
Johnson to reign over the Royal
Court and the 1972 Rose Parade
and Rose Bowl Game on New
Year’s Day.
The new court, which is made
up entirely of PCC coeds, was
announced by Tournament Presi¬
dent Virgil J. White on November
1 following a breakfast for 24
finalists in the association’s Wrig-
ley Gardens headquarters.
Royal Court members are
Queen Margo, and Becky Ann
Bennett, Julie Ann Fleetwood,
Lynda Jane Higley, Victoria An¬
nette Sanchez, Sharon Rae Sheve-
land, and Traci Lynn Stevens,
princesses.
Julie, Lynda, Victoria and Traci
were all finalists in the 1970 com¬
petition, with Miss Fleetwood
also among the top contestants
in 1969.
White said, “I wish to thank all
these communities that helped
turn out a record number of girls
this year. We were truly over¬
whelmed by the support.”
Originally a record 626 com¬
peted in the first round with Alex
H. Gaul’s eight-man Tournament
judging panel reducing the field
at subsequent tryouts to 320, 90,
and then to 24 for the final judg¬
ing.
Four of the seven girls, Julie,
Lynda, Margo, and Traci, plan
teaching careers with Princess
Victoria interested in being “up
in the air” as an airline hostess.
Princess Becky is studying sec¬
retarial science with ambitions in
the legal field.
Princess Sharon is enrolled in
the nursing program.
All but Miss Fleetwood and
Miss Bennett are freshmen here
at PCC.

Trustee Members Act
on Campus Matters
By RICK ERMSHAR
This entire week, as you may
have already noticed, has been
dedicated to the 1971 Space Con¬
vocation.
Special attention should be paid
to the moon rocks, which will be
ASB Meeting
Changes Told
The seventh ASB meeting came
to order last Thursday.
The minutes of the last meeting
were approved and seconded.
First there was a discussion
about a pool table. One member
said he wanted a vote on it simply
to get it off the agenda after three
weeks.
Another member said he felt
the represented organizations
should be asked what they felt
about a pool table. Another mem¬
ber asked what they could tell the
organizations when they don’t
have the facts themselves. The
pool table was voted down.
ter a member who came in
late said he had talked to Dean
John Eikenbery and that the dean
had said there was “no way” for
the students to have a pool table.
It was moved and seconded that
the next ASB meeting will be held
in the Free Speech Area. The
Board wants more student partici¬
pation and has decided to go to
the students, since they won’t
come to the Board meetings.
The Courier staff will be intro¬
duced at that time. The Senate
will meet on Tuesday in the Free
Speech Area.
Announcements came next.
PCC and Cambria played soccer
at Caltech last Saturday. The As¬
sembly Commission and RCA are
presenting a concert November 21
in Sexson Auditorium.
There was a discussion on giv¬
ing the football team a certificate
of thanks for doing such a good
job this year. It was felt that a
certificate was needed because the
students fail to support the team
on the field.
Coach Myron Tarkanian was
there to advise. After several sug¬
gestions, it was moved and sec¬
onded that ASB give the players
each a certificate and also intro¬
duce them Thursday in the Free
Speech Area at the meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 11:36.
Meet Police
A meeting is being held on No¬
vember 17 at 7:30 p.m. to pro¬
mote better relations between
the Altadena Sheriffs Station
and West Altadena residents.
The location is the Franklin
School Auditorium, at 527 Ven¬
tura St. in Altadena. Ail com¬
munity members are encour¬
aged to attend, according to
Captain A1 Natividad.
displayed at the Campus Center
Wednesday through Friday of
this week.
There will be variety stressed
in this rather remarkable space
convocation. Simply, there will be
something here for everyone.
Speakers will include two
world famed astronomers, both of
Pasadena, who have developed
contrasting theories of the origin
of the universe. One is Dr. Maar¬
ten Schmidt, astronomy professor
at Caltech and staff member of
the Hale Observatories at Mt.
Wilson and Palomar. His discov¬
ery of quasars is recognized as a
major scientific advancement.
Dr. Hamilton C. Arp of the Hale
Observatories has investigated
galaxies, quasars, red shifts, and
the origin of the spiral structure.
They will speak Friday, Nov.
12 in Sexson Auditorium. Dr.
Schmidt at 9 a.m. on “Quasars:
Signals from Deep Space,” and
Dr. Arp at 11 a.m. on “Formation
and Evolution of Galaxies.”
Another exhibit is the mockup
of the Mariner 9, which is sched¬
uled to orbit Mars the week of
the convocation, and of the Apol¬
lo, both sponsored by NASA and
JPL.
It would be most rewarding for
everyone to go see Stanley Ku¬
brick’s movie, “2001 — A Space
Odyssey.” It will be shown at 10
a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. to¬
morrow in Sexson Auditorium.
There will be a number of ex¬
cellent panel discussions Friday
from 9 a.m. until noon.
The smallest turnout of the
year appeared at the Student Sen¬
ate meeting last Tuesday.
The Senate agenda was left pri¬
marily blank, listing only call to
order, approval of the minutes,
old business, new business, com¬
mittee reports, announcements,
and adjournment.
After a loud crack of the gavel,
the meeting was called to order.
The minutes were approved after
the usual amount of corrections.
Old and new business were com¬
pleted fast since there were none.
Two committees, the Faculty Re¬
lations and Racism, reported
when they would be meeting.
The next phase of the meeting
lasted for the rest of the noon
hour. John Marshall, president of
the Student Senate, gave the fol¬
lowing prepared speech to the few
senators who were present.
“At the beginning of the year
I stated that this Senate had the
chance and the potential to bring
usefulness and respect back into
the very unpractical joke we have
Patience is the main defense
needed when dealing with our
own Board of Trustees. Its last
meeting, on November 4, lasted
three and one-half hours and pro¬
vided an invaluable insight on
these seven men.
The Board, chaired by Dr. Cecil
Osoff, includes J. Ray Risser, Dr.
Robert Boyd, Charles Eckels, Wal¬
ter Shatford, Roger Germenian,
and William Cheek. These men
are elected officials, which is why
a student representative is not
allowed to vote on the Board.
There was a small discussion on
the convocation, during which
Senate President John Marshall
proposed that the Board award
Gary Sullivan (who is student co-
chairman of the convocation) a
certificate of merit, based ori the
fact that the faculty co-chairman
known for several years as stu¬
dent government.
“During the course of these
meetings, you as senators have
conducted yourselves with more
manners and dignity than any
Senate body that has ever sat be¬
fore you. I’m sure that I speak for
all three officers when I say thank
you for letting us be more than
just referees at these meetings.
Corrosion Sets In
“An element known as rust has
the ability to corrode even the
shiniest and most graceful works
of metal or silver. Time also has
the ability to cloud and corrode
even the brightest idea, or the
most graceful ideal.
“Anyone who would destroy
Santa Claus for a child would be
branded almost a criminal by any¬
one else in this room — but it is
not the death of Santa Claus that
is the crime, it is the destruction
of a child’s faith that is the crime.
“Many of us have become dis-

is receiving a $250 payment for
his work. Marshall was told to
“go through the proper channels,”
and given a “thank you.”
The Board then moved to pro¬
vide 256 lockers for bicyclists’
books, which will be placed on
the Campus Center patio. -Also ap¬
proved was a motion to permit
the Courier to sell advertising,
with the suggestion to make sure
it was not given merely as a
donation.
EOP Program
The next hour was spent listen¬
ing to a report from the Extended
Opportunities Programs and Serv¬
ices Tutoring. Included in the in¬
formation revealed to us in the
course of a slide show and several
lengthy dissertations by some de¬
partment heads was the fact that
of all students in the program,
77 per cent are minority. Broken
down to reveal 40 per cent black,
32 per cent Mexican-American,
five per cent Asian-American, and
23 per cent Caucasian (their ex¬
act terminology).
By this time, halfway through
the meeting, the audience was
suffering from at least one of two
evils: the extremely low tempera¬
ture of the room, or the over¬
whelming aroma of one trustee’s
blimp-sized cigar.
One lady in the audience was
reading some book about “an
endearing story of a carefree
otter.”
At 9:45, Dr. Armen Sarafian
presented to the Board the reso¬
lutions approved by the Student
Senate and the ASB Board to
make the bookstore totally non¬
profit. He requested a subcommit¬
tee of three Board members to
help the present Prices Commit¬
tee come up with some facts to
be presented at the next Board
meeting on November 18.
Three Volunteers
Members Eckels, Cheek, and
Shatford volunteered their time.
A short discussion on the matter
was about to begin when it was
quickly shut down by the Board
because it was being brought up
at the next meeting.
However, the Astronomy De¬
partment mentioned a matter to
be brought up at the next meeting
also, and was permitted to pre¬
sent a lengthy discourse on the
matter lasting 20 minutes.
Trustee Shatford asked the
Board to pass a resolution wish¬
ing Assemblyman Frank Lanter-
man a happy birthday. “I do have
a lively sense of things to come
in proposing this,” he said.
Psychology professor Sidney
Carlin spoke up about a discrep¬
ancy in which a large number of
faculty members’ checks were de¬
layed over three weeks, and asked
if the Board could make a check
on the matter. Some members, he
said, had not received them even
at the time he was speaking. He
realized it was the county’s mis¬
take, but still asked to have it in¬
vestigated.
Dr. Sarafian declared that this
was of “lesser importance to the
Board,” as it was a “peripheral
matter.”
Marshall proposed that the
Board award some form of recog¬
nition to our football team, such
as a certificate of merit, and was
again told to “go through the
proper channels” and given a
“thank you.”
The meeting adjourned at 10:35.
