Queen Hopefuls
in Prelim Trials
Tryouts for Homecoming
Queen were held last Friday. For
approximately two hours the hall
in front of 200C was crowded
with 38 girls nervously memor¬
izing their names and reasons for
entering the contest.
Each girl, upon completing the
interview, was immediately
smothered with cries of “What
did they ask you?” “Did they
smile?” and “Were you scared?”
Most of the questions included
such items as the girl’s name,
number, previous activities, inter¬
ests, major, and how and/or why
she decided to run. Some ques¬
tions were asked just to see how
poised the contestant was— such
as “How high is your back
fence?” and "What is your zip
code number?”
Each girl vying for the honor
of Homecoming Queen is required
to carry at least 12 units a semes¬
ter and have a C average, and an
ASB card. A general election for
the queen will be held; it is not
necessary to own an ASB card to
vote, but each voter must have an
ID card. The queen will be crown¬
ed the night of October 22.
p.m. There, the All-Club Parade,
coordinated by ICC, will originate.
Every club on campus will donate
an automobile which will be driv¬
en around Horrell Field. Leading
the parade on foot will be the
PCC Hi-liters’ dance band.
DURING halftime, the Home¬
coming queen will be crowned.
Following the PCC-Pierce game,
a dance will be held in the Cam¬
pus Center. Junior Executives,
dance coordinators, have hired
two bands. One, a dance band,
will play in the student lounge,
while the other, a rock and roll
band, will play downstairs in the
Campus Center.
Carroll says that a real success
for the Homecoming program will
be complete if a majority of the
Lancer students turn out.
Students interested in Home¬
coming plans attended a meeting
yesterday in the board room.

Students May
Gain Benefits
Amendments to the 1965 Social
Security Act have extended the
age limit for a child’s benefits
from 18 to 22. Full-time students
are entitled to these benefits upon
application at the local Social
Security office.
These benefits are retroactive
to January, 1965. This means the
full-time student who reached the
age of 22 after January may re¬
ceive payments for the months be¬
fore he became 22, if otherwise
eligible.
A FULL-TIME student is con¬
sidered to be anyone enrolled in
day or evening school for a course
of study which will take at least
three months and who is carrying
a subject load sufficient to com¬
plete the course in the time nor¬
mally required a day student to
do so. The number of units are
left to the college. According to
M. R. Tarbox, district manager
for Pasadena, a student is safe
with 15 units, but below that num¬
ber there may be a little problem.
A student is not considered a
full-time student if he is being
paid by an employer while in
school at the request of that em¬
ployer.
STUDENTS returning to school
full-time in the fall, may have
their benefits continued during
summer vacation or during any
similar between-term period of
four months or less.
Individuals working during va¬
cation or at any other time and
earning more than $1200 in 1966
or later, may have benefits with¬
held for any months in which
more than $100 is earned.
If now 18 years of age or over,
a student’s payment of these bene¬
fits is not automatic. The minor,
or a parent, must apply for these
benefits.
If benefits were stopped be¬
cause of reaching 18, a student
need only re-apply and show that
he is now attending school full¬
time.
