Board of Trustees Okays New T Building Addition A two story addition to the '1' Building which will house printing and sign arts classes was approved by the ire Board of Trustees at its regular meeting November 4. Scheduled for occupation January 1, 1978. construction on the new addition should begin in April, 1977. Trustees authorized preparation of working drawings by the architectural firm of Carmichael and Kemp after reviewing the needs of the two vocational departments as presented by ad¬ ministrators and instructors. Kxpected to cost about $354,000. the new addition will be built on the west side of the present engineering and technology buildings. The first floor will house expanded printing facilities, with the sign arts department oc¬ cupying the second floor. Trustees were told by instructor Bill Jacot that conditions have become so crowded in photo lithography facilities that a hallway is currently used as a negative stripping area. Jacot also said that darkrooms, which were originally built for other uses, are currently overcrowded. Sign arts instructor Bob McDaniel told trustees facilities were not adequate for the two-year program offered by the college. He said since 14V is one of two schools in Southern California to offer such a program, his classes suffer from overcrowding. The new building will offer space for each phase of the training programs, trustees were told. The first floor will be. about 2500 square feet and will contain classrooms and darkrooms. The 3000-square-foot second floor will contain an expanded sign arts working area, clean-up area with proper ventilation and classrooms. The building will be cantilevered, with the second floor larger than the first, in order to construct the addition around a steam tunnel which runs from the Boiler House to the C Building.

Simon has been Pep Commission adviser since he came to PCC in 1961 to teach microbiology. He coordinates activities of the song girls, cheer¬ leaders and flag girls. "I get them to work together to make enough organized noise so that it will carry out onto the field.” Simon said. "The cheerleaders direct the crowd in what to do and lead them in yells. The song girls land flag girls) back them up. and during timeouts or after a touchdown they do dance routines." In the spring Simon sends squads to area high schools to give demon¬ strations and announce that PCC is having tryouts. During the school year, he works with the squad to set rules, schedule attendance at athletic contests and coordinate transportation to events away from home. "I find that when the team has a good record the squad starts yelling on the bus and vou can hear them five miles away." he said. Simon feels that participation is a good experience. "It develops organizing ability, discipline, respect for other people, direction and a sense of accomplishment." he said. By Joseph Riser City Editor A measure designed to reduce the number of student withdrawals from classes was passed by the Student Per¬ sonnel Committee by a unanimous vote at its regular meeting on November 2 and was referred for further action to the College Council, which passed the measure this week. The proposal, if passed by the board of trustees, will place a student on what will be known as “progress probation” at any time in which the number of units with¬ drawn from on a student’s record exceeds the number of units completed. A student will continue to be considered on probation until that time at which his completed units amount to more than those withdrawn from. If during a semester in which a student is on probation his classes withdrawn from during that semester outnumber the number of classes completed during that semester the student will then be placed on “progress disqualification,” and will not be allowed to take any classes for one semester. After the completion of that one semester of disqualifi¬ cation, the student will have to petition in order to be readmitted as a student, and limits as to the number and type of courses may be placed on him. Present college policy allows a student to withdraw from any class up until the third week without it appearing on his transcript, and until the sixteenth week with only a letter “W” on his records. The measure, according to Delmar Heyne, dean of admissions and records, is designed not only to cut down on the number of student withdrawals, but also to reduce the amount of paperwork involved when a student drops a class, and reduce what is described as auditing of courses up until the drop date. Auditing is prohibited at PCC. The proposal must now pass a vote by the board of trustees before it can be considered as school policy.

According to Halph Hiddle, director of security and parking services, students are first being warned by leaflets taped on illegally parked bikes that locks will be cut and bicycles will be taken to the Security office. Students will be able to reclaim their hikes free at the Security office after sufficiently identifying it and giving their name, drivers license number, student ID number or other identifica¬ tion to security personnel.' At the same time., students will be encouraged to get a sticker and park in the com¬ pound. The cost of cut locks, however, will be borne by the student. Hiddle said if security guards en¬ counter any cut-resistant locks, a guard will survey the bike until the owner returns to instruct him not to park in that place. "Then, we'll find where he bought the lock, and recommend it to other students." Any bicycles which are not claimed will be held by the Security office and eventually auctioned by either the PCC Security office or the Pasadena Police Department. Hiddle indicated these measures are necessary because people are con¬ tinually chaining bikes to walkway rails where they are a hazard, especially to the visually handicapped students. To aid the security of the bike compound, a convex mirror will be mounted to give the guard a better view of the area.

By Diana Lojins Staff Writer "Government bureaucracy surrounding implementation of California Assembly Bill 77 has hin¬ dered some educational opportunities for many PCC deaf students,” said Fran Neumann, coordinator of Han¬ dicapped Services. ЛВ 77 was passed in June. 1976. to provide funds for handicapped pro¬ grams in the state's community colleges. Many different kinds of funds were combined to furnish a central source of appropriations. PCC interpreting services, tutorial help and learning aids for the hearing- impaired were decreased last month in an effort to meet a budget short of funds promised by AB 77. George Dorough. deaf co-producer of the "Sign-In ” PCC television series, became a victim of the budget cuts when he was laid off two weeks ago. Tutorial services provided by Dorough were also cut Interpreters provide integrated educational opportunities for the hearing-impaired. Before these programs were available, deaf students were limited to state in¬ stitutions in which training was primarily in printing, upholstering, baking, shoemaking, sewing, or simple assembly. The only professional position that the hearing-impaired could attain was State School Teacher for the Deaf. The handicapped program at PCC. like other junior colleges, is supported almost entirely by outside sources. AB 77 was passed in June, 1976, to provide funds for handicapped programs in the state's community colleges. Many different funds were combined to furnish a central source of ap¬ propriations. The red tape in various governmental agencies has prevented distribution of money, explained Mrs. Neumann. Public hearings were postponed several times. Guidelines and regulations have to be written and approved jointly by the Community College Chancellor's Office and the State Department of Rehabilitation. Philosophical differences need to be ironed out.
