PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
NOVEMBER 25, 1970
PCC Rotk Concert
Termed Big Suttess
show got underway, to set up the
fair.
A LARGE CROWD listens attentively as a rock
group performs at the recent rock concert spon¬
sored by a group of PCC students. This concert
can possibly be the forerunner of an annual
series, according to enthusiastic students who
swelled Sunday's audience to nearly 2000.
Bank of America Scholarships
Offered to Jaycee Students
Over $1700 was taken in Sun¬
day at the Renaissance Music and
Art Faire held on Horrell Field
at PCC.
The fair consisted of several
live bands and nearly 20 art
booths. After expenses, such as
paying for the groups, security,
renting a stage and the like, the
money will go to benefit the Indi¬
an Youth Foundation.
Because of the vary small ad¬
mission fee ($1), and the usual
nothing-to-do-on-Sunday problem,
large numbers of people showed
up.
The bands, Mojave Honey, Su¬
garcane Harris, Black Oak Ar¬
kansas, Hilltop, and Head Over
Heels, all performed well, with
the exception of Black Oak, who
had the misfortune to take the
stage when the PA system was
almost shot.
Diflicuties, ranging from troub¬
les with the sound system to gate¬
crashers, were overcome by the
efforts of Rick Ermshar and some
25 helpers (Mona Lisa Product¬
ions), who began arriving at
5:30 a.m., six hours before the
Myths Explored
in Spring Class
English 80, Selected Studies, is
a new two-unit course offered for
the spring semester that will ex¬
plore significant ideas influencing
Western culture.
The subject next semester is
“Mythological Motifs in Litera¬
ture,” offering the chance to ex¬
plore the significance of the myth
in reflecting deep cultural and in¬
dividual forces. Several major
myths will be covered, in an effort
to demonstrate the effects on lit¬
erature of the use of mythological
themes.
The course will be taught by
Mrs. Betty Kovacs and Richard
Woods on Tuesdays and Thurs¬
days at 1 p.m.
Curtis W. Tarr
May Quit Draft
Selective Service Director Cur¬
tis W. Tarr has indicated that he
might not continue his job if
young men could become consci¬
entious objectors to a particular
war.
Tarr said a bill in Congress to
broaden conscientious objector
laws “would make a very diffi¬
cult job for the man who took
my place.”
They stayed past^the 7 p.m.
termination point to take it down
and clean up. It was because of
these people that the fair was
termed a “success.”
Would it be possible to have
another one of these fairs in the
future? The students certainly
think so. With a little more plan¬
ning and cooperation, the “mini¬
festival” could become something
of a regular thing in this area.
Gray Named as
VP Submission
John Gray was elected as the
recommended candidate for the
Senate second vice-presidency at
the Senate meeting Tuesday, Nov.
17.
The Senate’s recommendation
will be submitted to Bob Serrano,
ASB president, for consideration.
If Serrano appoints Gray, the
Board must give a majority con¬
sent before Gray can take office.
At the previous Senate meeting
a recall petition for Oscar Rodri¬
guez, Senate second vice-president,
signed by 30 per cent of the Sen¬
ate, was submitted, calling for a
recall election the following week.
Rodriguez, however, later re¬
signed, putting his vacant office
up for presidential appointment.
By consent of the ASB , Board, a
Senate election was held to rec¬
ommend to Serrano the Senate’s
candidate.
Also discussed at the Senate
meeting was the Faculty Evalua¬
tion, available now at the book¬
store for 25 cents or at&he bank
free with an ASB card, r

ASPECT Presents
Ecology Feature
The ecology oriented November
issue of ASPECT features a pro¬
vocative interview with Dr. Paul
Ehrlich, the noted biologist from
Stanford and a leader in the
ecology movement.
In the interview, Ehrlich states
his strong opinions on politics,
his “island,” automobiles and ed¬
ucation.
Also included is a reprint from
Esquire Magazine, “30 Days With¬
out a Bath,” which leaves the
reader holding his nose. A photo
essay on ecology is also in the
magazine.
The Profiles section features
coed “Mustang Margie” and geol¬
ogy professor Harry Lawrence.
Bank of America has announced
a new cash awards program to
recognize outstanding students at
community colleges throughout
California. Pasadena City College
is one of 45 participants.

Interest in environmental prob¬
lems is steadily growing, and the
Pasadena City College library
staff has observed a greatly in¬
creased number of requests for
authoritative books, magazines,
and pamphlets about the subject.
The library has an excellent col¬
lection of material on the various
aspects of environmental prob¬
lems and conservation, including
air pollution, water pollution,
noise, overpopulation, and waste

past 18 years.
disposal in addition to conserva¬
tion of wilderness lands.
Some of the books about the
environment have been displayed
by the library as an aid to the
Environmental Studies Series for
Elementary School Teachers,
which is being offered at PCC.
This series provides elementary
school teachers and curriculum
specialists with information and
instructional materials on environ¬
mental problems.
While the VA offers a wide va¬
riety of job opportunities, it has
a special need for those trained in
dietetics, nursing, pharmacy, med¬
icine, medical technology, dentis¬
try, occupational and physical
therapy, medical records, library
science,, and social work (where
a master’s degree is preferred).
PhD psychologists are also
needed — in both the clinical and
counseling specialties.
The VA pointed out that work
in a VA hospital is rewarding
from both a career standpoint and
in satisfaction resulting from as¬
sisting those who were called
upon to serve their country in
uniform.
According to a spokesman, the
VA has 166 hospitals scattered
throughout the 48 contiguous
states and Puerto Rico, giving
job applicants a wide choice of
location.
Many VA hospitals also provide
the setting for clinical training in
various paramedical fields.
Ninety-three VA hospitals are
affiliated with 79 of the nation’s
fully approved medical schools.
Some 2000 VA doctors hold facul¬
ty appointments in these schools.
VA hospitals range in size from
about 100 to more than 2000 beds.
Most have general medical, sur¬
gical and psychiatric units. Many
have specialized treatment units,
research programs, outpatient
clinics, and domiciliaries.
“This is the most significant
scholarship program ever for the
community college students in
California,” said Dr. John E.
Johnson, president of Santa Ana
College and chairman of the
Southern California Community
College Awards Program advisory
board.
“It’s another indication of the
Bank of America’s interest in
young people furthering their ed¬
ucation.”
The new program expands the
former competition by including
more academic areas, involving
more students and increasing the
total amount of cash awards, ac¬
cording to Miss Hope Munoz, the
bank’s school awards officer and
administrator of the program in
Southern California.
Cash awards totaling $85,800
will be shared by 372 California
community college students. Each
of the top eight winners will re¬
ceive $2000.
Expanding Competition
The new program is patterned
after the bank’s long-standing
Achievement Awards for high
school students. That program
has distributed more than $1 mil¬
lion in pash awards since its in¬
ception in 1948. The bank will
award $162,000 to high school stu¬
dents during the 1970-71 school
year, meaning more than $250,000
will be distributed by the two pro¬
grams.
The 45 participating Southern
California community colleges,
stretching from Santa Barbara to
Chula Vista, will be divided into
five geographical areas for the
scholar ship competition. Each
school will select its outstanding
students in the business, technical-
vocational, social science-humani¬
ties, and science and engineering
fields. Area semi-finalists will be
held in March.
Unannounced Subject
At the area semi-finals, partici¬
pants in each field will appear be¬
fore a panel of business and civic
leaders and will be asked to dis¬
cuss an unannounced subject re¬
lated to their study field. Consid¬
eration will be given to the stu¬
dents’ academic record and civic
activities.
Two students from each of the
four fields will advance to the
Southern California finals sched¬
uled for late April at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. All
other participants at the area lev¬
el will each receive $150 cash
awards.
The top winner in each field in
the Southern California finals will
receive $2000, with $1000 going to
each of the second place winners,
