Three PCC students were ar¬
rested Thursday afternoon in the
Southwest parking lot for auto
burglary, police sources released
Monday, before the students were
arraigned.
Police arrested the students as
they were putting a stereo tape
player in their blue ’65 Volkswag¬
en. The tape player had just been
taken from a student’s Mustang
further up the row of cars in the
parking lot.
The car was impounded and
taken to the police station. In¬
side, three more tape players were
found. An FM tuner was also
found, along with a set of speak¬
ers. Various tools were found
with a chain lock inside the car.
Also found in the car were over
25 stereo tapes. Two of the tapes
were located inside the engine
minute flight to Fresno. The dele¬
gation will stay at the Del Webb
Townhouse, site of the confer¬
ence.
After an opening banquet at 6
p.m., the first general assembly
will be held, followed by work¬
shop seminars which will con¬
clude with a reception and dance
at 11:30 p.m. At 1 a.m. caucuses
are scheduled.
After an early breakfast Fri¬
day, workshops on politics, co-
curricular activities, and curricu¬
lum are scheduled, with two work¬
shops scheduled for each area.
Following lunch the workshops of
each area will combine for an aft¬
ernoon session.
After dinner the second general
assembly is scheduled to run un¬
til midnight. Again a caucus will
follow.
On Saturday, the third general
assembly will be held from 9 a.m.
compartment in the rear of the
VW. A roll of speaker wire was
also discovered.
At two of the suspects’ homes,
three more stereos were found.
Detective Thomas Burns, of the
Pasadena Police Department,
urges any student who sees some¬
one tampering with cars in the
parking lot to call PCC security
or the Pasadena Police Depart¬
ment as soon as possible.
“The student doesn’t need to
give us his name. Just as long
as he can let us know where it is
happening, and a license plate
number, it will really help to stop
such burglary,” commented
Burns.
Anyone missing a tape player
should check with the police de¬
partment. If you can identify
your tape player, you may be able
to get it at. the police station.
to noon. Following lunch the in¬
stallation of officers wiR take
place.
Representatives from 82 Cali¬
fornia junior colleges will attend
the conference.
What is happening here? Why
is the blacktopping by the library
being chipped out?
The men on the construction
crew must hear these questions
thousands of times each day.
The answer is that the entire
area north of the Robbins Build¬
ing is being converted into a mall.
It will consist of concrete walk¬
ways and large beds of shrubs,
trees, and ivy. Near the library
will be cement steps a wall, and
a turnaround. Concrete will be
poured for the shrub beds within
several weeks.
To keep the student body in¬
formed, it has been suggested that
poles be placed in sockets in the
concrete walkways in the mall.
From these removable poles could
be strung banners when the need
arises.
The west entrance of C Build¬
ing will be barricaded December
1 and a large trench will be dug
directly in front of the steps to
house a large air-conditioning tun¬
nel. Other routes into the build¬
ing will have to be found. At
about the same time, the walkway
south of the Robbins Building will
be opened to foot traffic, and the
present route between C Building
and student lounge will be closed.
Final inspection of the Robbins
Building, art gallery, and Z Build¬
ing is set for December 15. Repre¬
sentatives of the jaycee district
and the contractor will go through
it to find any remaining errors.
From this point the contractor
has one month to touch up these
errors before the final acceptance
by the Board of Trustees.
The Z Building, directly south
of the R Building will house cer¬
amics and sculpture classes. The
Having a student discount at
the bookstore was the main point
of discussion at the Associated
Student Board meeting last Thurs¬
day.
Martin Green, finance commis¬
sioner, reported that the proposed
bookstore discount would be il¬
legal. He gave out a recommenda¬
tion that PCC advertising classes
go out and get businesses to give
discounts to students with stu¬
dent body cards.
There has already been an in¬
vestigation into this possibility by
a committee chaired by Bryan
Cuthill, Courier editor. Already
offerings from businessmen has
occurred, and, according to Green,
this advertising for discounts
from local merchants would bring
card sales up from the present
12 per cent to 90 per cent. In
solving the problem this way,
there would be no chance of get¬
ting into a legal problem with the
publishers of textboks.
ASB President Ron Firestone,
however, is for the idea of hav¬
ing a bookstore discount on text¬
books. According to Firestone, “I
don’t care if it takes the entire
California Bar Association; I
think that this school should have
a book discount.”
Firestone kept up this argu¬
ment until he was informed by
Dean S. Luke Curtis that it is il-
art gallery will be directly north
of the R Building. The new ad¬
dition of the R Building will
house the entire Art Department,
language offices and classrooms,
math offices and classrooms, com¬
puter science, textiles, advertis¬
ing, graphics, design, and metal
jewelry.
The mall will be completed by
February 15.
legal to have a discount on new
textbooks when used ones are of¬
fered.
The action of the last board
meeting passing a book discount
in the bookstore was rescinded as
a result of this discussion.
An alternative to a discount in
the bookstore was suggested by
Cuthill when he asked if there
could be a student book exchange
started on campus. This sugges¬
tion was put to an investigation.
Other issues were the possibili¬
ty of having stickers attached to
student cars for reserved parking
spaces, the circulation of an in¬
formation sheet like the Crier giv¬
ing the views of student leaders to
the student body, the passing of
a request for the Afro-American
Student Union for an office in the
Campus Center, and discussion on
sending four members to the state
government conference.
