Free Amplification
Passed by Board
The point of Miss Jacobs’ arug-
ument was that because of the
conflicting reports, all of the
facts were not available for the
board to take into consideration.
She felt that the board should
not act without knowledge of the
entire situation.
Firestone’s argument for the
resolution was in the form of an
example. “We are passing some¬
thing that is universal. If I as the
ASB president wanted to go out
and speak at the free speech area,
I would have to have a reserva¬
tion.
ц'
“If I wanted to use the ampli¬
fication equipment, it would take
weeks, maybe even as long as a
semester before I could speak.
The interference with educational
clause is very important. It would
make any speech which interfer¬
ed with education null and void.”
Cluff’s comment was “I am
for this motion, the area in front
of C Building is a good place for
speakers. There is a high place
to speak from, there is shade for
the people in the audience, and
there is grass for the students to
sit on.”
A resolution on the constitution
was passed.
Be it resolved that:
1. A constitutional revisionai
committee be formed.
2. The committee prepare a
rough copy of a constitution.
3. By Nov. 12, the board mem-

Open House
PCC communication students re¬
ceived a first-hand guided tour
of the local “election central,”
right “where the action was.”
Through the courtesy of KNBC
News Director Bob Mulhollond
and Bob Howard, vice president
of West Coast production, An¬
thony Georgilas, PCC’s instructor
of TV production, arranged for
nine communication students to
visit the NBC network facilities.
“I can’t thank Mulholland and
Howard enough,” says Georgilas,
“for the opportunity for these out
standing students to observe first
hand the impact of TV on the
elections.”
Students attending the election
night TV coverage were Norma
Andrews, Speech Arts Council
president; Don Benke,
К
P C S
sports director; Richard Blank-
inship, KPCS student chief engin¬
eer; Bud Ireland, David Laidig,
and Jim Lawlor from TV pro¬
duction; Paul Maziar, TV an¬
nouncing; Pat Jacobs, Inter-Club
Council president; Ken Pratt,
speech commissioner, and Tom
Anderson, photographer.
“From an engineering stand¬
point,” says Blankinship, “I was
impressed with the coordinated
ease of operation between the na¬
tional and local levels among the
production, engineering and tech¬
nical staffs.”
Georgilas said KNBC was cho¬
sen “Because of its excellent cov¬
erage and maximum use of the
TV medium as a news reporting
service. KNBC was the only sta¬
tion, local as well as network,
which matched and at times sur¬
passed the national coverage from
New York.”
The students discussed election
reporting processes and problems
with Robert Abernathy, KNBC
news anchor man, during the
evening, and he and the rest of
the KNBC personnel cooperated
in explaining the intricacies of
television election coverage.

A motion was passed by the
ASB board last week backing the
use of amplification equipment
anywhere on campus as long as
it doesn’t interfere with education.
Beginning the controversy was
a resolution by Randy Fowler
stating that students could speak
anywhere on campus and use
amplification equipment only
when the noise did not interfere
with the educational process.
Because of the clause of non¬
interference, the resolution was
backed by both President Ron
Firestone and Vice-President
Larry Cluff. The controversy
arose when Pat Jacobs, president
of the ICC, gave reports that the
amplification used at one of the
first rallies held in front of C
Building was disturbing to the
telecommunications classes.
Miss Jacobs stated that she
had a report of disturbance from
a member of the Communications
Department, Dr. John Gregory.
Fowler, however, said that Dr.
Gregory had reported no distur¬
bance.
Editor Lantz Explains Plans
for $4000 'Aspect' Production
Problems of the PCC Pageant
were brought to the attention of
the College Council by Susan
Lantz at last Wednesday’s meet¬
ing.
Several times the $14,000 budget
was cut. It now stands at $4,000.
Since a yearbook simply cannot
be published for that sum, it was
decided to publish a magazine.
This is in keeping with the trend
at many colleges and universities.
The magazine will be called
“Aspect.” Two issues will be pub¬
lished of the quality of “Look”
or “Life.”
The 8V2 by 11 inch magazine
will be printed by The PCC Press,
and will be given to all ASB
card-holders. Non-ASB card hold¬
ers may purchase it.
Each page will be two-color.
Eighty pound gloss paper is to
be used with a cover of light
cover stock. There will be 48
pages, costing $2,000 for the 2,500
copies to be published each se¬
mester.
Controversial issues such as
black opinion vs. white opinion,
the hippie rebellion, mini-skirts,
and on-campus activities will be
presented, as well as art, car¬
toons, and photography.
Anyone connected with PCC wil
be able to submit items of interest
to Aspect so long as the literature
is in good taste.
Proceeds from the first semes¬
ter will go into the budget for a
better magazine the second se¬
mester.
Tutorial Center Offers
Students Teaching Role
Have you thought about teach¬
ing on your own campus?
Well it’s possible through the
Tutorial Center, 110A. Mrs. Al¬
berta Craggett, head of the cen¬
ter is in great need of more tutors
for those students who come for
help in their courses.
There are only 52 tutors, not
enough to meet the needs of the
Tutorial Center.
The center was established tc
assist those student who are
either failing or having difficulty
in a particular course.
Mrs. Craggett said, “If only stu¬
dents would come here first when
they’re having difficulty and wish
to drop a class.” Not only do
students with problems use the
facilities of the Tutorial Center,
but also the tutors themselves at
times made use of the assistance
available.
All that a student must do when
applying for help in a course is
to specify the time he may be
able to come in. There will be
a tutor there to give the student
aid. The marvelous quality of the
center is that a student can have
personal contact with the instruc¬
tor and get the assistance he
needs.
The center is in great need of
tutors in antropology, biology,
Spanish, mathematics, English
and others. The only requirement
for a student to be a tutor is that
he be doing
В
work in the course
he wishes to tutor.
To file an application to become
a tutor, the student should call
Mrs. Craggett for an interview.
She stresses that she prefers that
the instructor of the student wish¬
ing to tutor or be tutored recom¬
mend him to the center. “The 52
tutors are giving their time to
tutor those in need of help and
while doing so they enrich their
lives with the practice of the
knowledge they possess. Both the
student in search of assistance in
a course and the tutor are to be
commended for the eagerness to
learn and to help others learn.”
The student who comes to the
Tutorial Center in search of en¬
riching his own knowledge in a
certain subject can be compared
to the student who is in protest;
both are striving to improve them¬
selves, but the student being tu¬
tored is protesting in a manner
in which he improves his intellect
and chance of success,” says
Mrs. Craggett.
She urges those who are gen¬
uinely interested in helping others
learn while improving themselves
to make application to be tutors.
