Bike for Life
Begins Sunday
People’s Lobby will sponsor the
“Bike for Life” to raise money
for the support of the Clean En¬
vironment Act Sunday, Nov. 21.
The Clean Environment Act, a
comprehensive bill which will be
on the 1972 primary ballot, is a
23-section document that will
close many of the loopholes in
present environmental laws.

the San Fernando Valley, and will
have eight different starting
points for the convenience of the
riders. Each rider may start or
stop at the checkpoint of his
choice.
Each participant will have a
“bike card,” which he will fill
out before the ride with the
names of sponsors. These spon¬
sors will be pledging a certain
amount of money per mile com¬
pleted by the rider.
After the. ride, the rider will
contact the sponsors with proof
of the amount of mileage.
Some of the celebrities who
will be taking part in the “Bike
for Life” are Jackie Joseph, Doro¬
thy Provine, Ed Ames, and Carol
Burnett.
The ride will begin at 9 a.m.
Sunday morning at any of the
eight checkpoints. Bike cards and
information are available in the
Ecology Office, upstairs in the
Campus Center.
ROYAL COURT members for the Tournament of Roses Parade,
from top left clockwise, are Traci Lynn Stevens, Julie Ann Fleet-
wood, Sharon Rae Sheveland, Lynda Jane Higley, Becky Ann
Bennett, Victoria Annette Sanchez, and Queen Margo Lynn John¬
son, center. All the girls are PCC students.
ASB Board Meets;
Few People Attend
By CHARLES PETERSON
“Mickey mouse” was the phrase
one ASB Board member used to
describe the meeting held in the
Free Speech Area last Thursday.
He felt this was due to the “lack
of facilities.”
Many persons attending the
meeting, both on the ASB Board
and in the audience, had difficulty
hearing what was going on. The
turnout was a disappointment to
the Board, as the purpose of the
meeting was to bring the ASB
before the student body. There
were not more than 15 in the au¬
dience.
The first order of business was
to move the awarding of certifi¬
cates to members of the football
team until the meeting next week
and start that meeting a half-hour
later so the football team could
attend.
An amendment was brought be¬
fore the Board making freshman
and sophomore elections, which
are now separated, combined.
The reason was to bring the
vote before the entire ASB be¬
cause many students campaign
for both freshman and sophomore
candidates.
Motion Tabled
The motion was tabled until the
entire revised constitution was
brought before the Board. The
Board has no power to vote on
single amendments.
When the vote was taken to
table this amendment, not all the
members voted. Amidst the con¬
fusion which immediately follow¬
ed, one member cracked, “Has
anybody abstained or is someone
just being a dip?”
The confusion was resolved
when a second vote was taken
with one person abstaining.
A motion was made to appoint
a second publicity commissioner.
Discussion on the proposal
brought out the fact that there
was not yet any reason to have
two publicity commissioners. The
motion died without a vote, yet
one member seconded the motion
after it was dead.
Move Secretary
It was pointed out that the sec¬
retary had difficulty hearing what
was going on, which made it hard
to take the minutes. A motion
was made and passed to have her
sit near the middle of the Board
as possible.
A new Handicap Commission
was approved by the ASB Board.
A question was brought up by
a member on why the office
rooms for the board members and
commissioners were changed
around in a closed session. The

PCC Freshman Reigns
over '72 Rose Parade
Margo Lynn Johnson of PCC
will reign over New Year's Day
1972 festivities in Pasadena as
queen of the 83rd annual Tourna¬
ment of Roses.
Selection of the 5’6”, blue-eyed
blonde was revealed last Monday
by Tournament President Virgil
J. White.
The 19-year-old monarch is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ole O.
Johnson of Arcadia. She is the
first queen with the name “Mar¬
go” in the 53-year history of se¬
lecting royalty.
A queen was chosen for the
first time in 1905 with 11 picked
through 1930 and one each year
since then.
Margo, a freshman music ma¬
jor at PCC, succeeds Kathleen
Denise Arnett of Los Angeles, and
is joined by princesses Becky Ann
Bennett and Julie Ann Fleetwood
of Arcadia; Lynda Jane Higley
and Victoria Annette Sanchez of
Pasadena; Traci Lynn Stevens of
Altadena and Sharon Rae Sheve¬
land of Glendale on the Royal
Court. All are PCC coeds.
The new queen was bom in
Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada, on June 25, 1952, moved
to California 11 years ago, and
was naturalized in 1969. She is an
accomplished singer and plans to
become a music teacher. Her
sports interests center around
skiing and swimming.
“Ever since I moved to Cali-
omia, I’ve watched the Rose
Parade and queen," said Margo,
“and as every girl, dreamed of
one day being her.
“Although this is going to be a
tremendous experience for me, it
will give me even greater pleas¬
ure to see the joy it will give my
parents.”
MARGO LYNN JOHNSON
The queen’s judging number in
this year’s competition, which
drew a record 626 contestants,
was 515. She will be officially
crowned by President White in
coronation ceremonies on Thurs¬
day, Dec. 23.
Margo had little time to reflect
on the selection. Following the
announcement the Royal Court
began the first of 85 public ap¬
pearances.

MOON ROCK! — PCC students intently study samples of moon
rock brought back by Apollo astronauts. The display, with other
items of space paraphernalia, attracted most of the student body
and many citizens of the district. PCC's Space Odyssey 71, fea¬
turing outstanding speakers, films, discussion groups, and rap
sessions, was termed a tremendous success.

$3.35 Million
Voted to EOP
Restoration of $3.35 million in
community college educational op¬
portunity funds was voted by the
Senate last week, 23-9.
SB 835 by Sen. Alfred E. Alquist
(D-San Jose) restores the money
deleted from the state budget by
Gov. Reagan.
Alquist argued on the floor that
the governor made a “serious mis¬
take.” He won the support of
Sen. George Deukmejian (R-Long
Beach).
UNA Members
Tour Reservation
The PCC chapter of United Na¬
tive Americans met last week to
ratify the UNA constitution,
which was unanimously passed.
Domechec (Swift Rabbit), who
will teach beadwork, told the
members that he will bring a list
of supplies needed to the next
meeting.
He also reported that he had
been contacted by a representative
from the Navajo reservation in
Arizona, and that the invitation to
visit the reservation had been con¬
firmed.
On Thanksgiving weekend,
members will caravan in cars, be
given a one-day tour of the res¬
ervation, and will spend the re¬
mainder of the weekend touring
the Black Mesa area.
Kent Priest (Little Silver
Eagle) showed members some of
his dancing regalia. If you are
interested in the struggle of the
American Indian, and would like
to learn more about Indian cul¬
ture, plan to attend the meeting
tomorrow at noon in 212C.

PCC’s literary anthology, is

ject: any sincere observation
about life. Manuscripts should

Parking Committee Meets V/ith
Community To Resolve Conflicts
Student members of the Parking Committee
were favorably impressed with the outcome of the
special meeting to which community members were
invited last Wednesday evening.
Most members were prepared for, at best, a
negative reaction from the community members,
about 25 of whom appeared. The discussion, which
began at 7:45 p.m., ended on what was considered
a positive note, with a possible temporary compro¬
mise proposed by a community member, Elmer
Martin.
Martin suggested the possibility of unlimited
parking for students on one side of the street, leav¬
ing the other side of the street for resident parking.
Students and residents would have identifying
stickers posted visibly on their cars.
Both community members and students ex¬
pressed a desire to end as quickly as possible the
conflict posed by the parking crisis.
Many citizens urged that pressure be put on
the Board of Trustees to come up with some solu¬
tion, or at least make some concrete plans for the
future.
