ASB board settles election mix
Another hectic Pasadena City
The model home being built by
the Engineering and Technology
Department will stand on a differ¬
ent site than that announced ear¬
lier. The location has been
changed from the area near the
Music Building to the ground be¬
fore the Technology offices. The
original site was rejected because
construction noise would interfere
with language classes.
The design of the eleventh mod¬
el home is based on the winning
scheme of the Pasadena Architec¬
tural Club’s February contest,
though amended by the college’s
architectural specifications writ¬
ers for portability.
The home will be all-electric and
will carry the Southern California
Edison Co. and the Municipal
Light and Power Co. “Medallion
Home” emblem.
Work on the model home is pro¬
ceeding on schedule and the 27 stu¬
dents working on it under Dean
Reinhold expect to' have it on dis¬
play around April 22.

College election hassle was finally
solved Tuesday during a closed
meeting of the ASB Board.
Late Friday night after the bal¬
lots from the two-day election
were tabulated and the results an¬
nounced the delicate subject of
ineligibility was brought up with
devastating repercussions.

were voted into office were ruled

The portals of the many clubs and organizations on the
PCC campus will be opened wide tomorrow during the college’s
club day period. The campus activity centers will endeavor to
acquaint the student body with the operations of their organi¬
zation, to provide information per¬
tinent to membership and to fur¬
nish facts about future plans.
Members of basic communica¬
tion classes will be required to at¬
tend the open house meetings of
one of the various clubs and or¬
ganizations and to report back to
his class on the group.
REPRESENTATIVES of the
open house organizations will de¬
liver talks on their clubs in order
to make the reporting task of the
BC students a little easier. After
the speeches, the discussions will
be opened to the audience for
questions.
Although the club day program
is primarily designed to inform
freshmen about the club program
offered by the college, every other
member of the student body is
equally encouraged to participate
in the days activities.
OVER SIXTY organizations,
covering ten different areas, will
be participating in the club day
program. They will offer the in¬
terested student a glimpse into al¬
most every department of the ex¬
tra curricular life of the college.
Tomorrow’s program will also
give the student body of the col¬
lege an excellent opportunity to
preview the club programs plan¬
ned for the coming year, in addi¬
tion to providing them with the
chance of getting in on the ground
floor of the activities.
State law tightens
hazing regulations
California’s recent tragic death of a university student
has now produced the biggest repercussion to date. The State
Legislature has enacted a statute forbidding hazing during
the initiation ceremony of any student. Any violation of this
new law will be recorded as a
misdemeanor, which is punish¬
able by fine or imprisonment.
This law is expected to bring
about immediate curtailment of
hazing practices as they now exist
in this state. Fraternities all over
the country felt the blow of ad¬
verse publicity following the re¬
cent hazing accident.
In regard to this new hazing
policy PCC President Dr. Cather¬
ine Robbins made the following
statement:
“THE ADMINISTRATION of
Pasadena City College wishes to
reiterate its position regarding
student activities and organiza¬
tions. The only ones officially rec¬
ognized by the college are those
listed in the Student Handbook
which is published annually for
distribution to the students.
“These organization and activi¬
ties, and only these, are legally
approved by the Pasadena Board
of Education and are subject to
regulation by it and by the col¬
lege administration.
“Other activities and groups,
while possibly laudable, are not
recognized and are wholly pri¬
vate in nature, and the college
can legally accept no responsi¬
bility for them.”
DEAN OF STIJD ENT Activities
Sidney Curtis also offered a state¬
ment concerning the new ban.
“We haven’t had any trouble with
this problem for years and we
don’t anticipate any in the fu¬
ture,” the dean stated. “We hope
we receive complete cooperation;
we certainly expect to have all
cooperation. The students have
indicated that they will comply
with the new regulations.”
Following is the text of the new
statute:
As used in this article, “hazing”
includes any method of initiation

A new beautifying campaign is
currently underway at PCC, at
least where the lawns are con¬
cerned. New planting has just
been completed and all students
are asked to tread elsewhere,
preferably on the sidewalks. If
the populace abides by this urg¬
ing we may, in time, be the pos¬
sessors of finely manicured
green carpets. Let’s help out.
ineligible. Two members who
were forced to relinquish posi¬
tions they weren’t even accustom¬
ed to yet were Doug Kreck and
Ron Davis. Kreck “won” the
freshman presidency while Davis
was named to a rep at large post.
In Tuesday’s closed meeting the
ASB Board approved President
Wayne Whitehill’s appointments
of Charlotte Fedde as Freshman
Class president and Bill Watts as
rep at large to replace Kreck and
Davis.
Sherri Goodner and Ginny
Syers were the reps at large to
make it on the first ballot. Now
that the election problem has been
ironed out it means that the fall
ASB Board is now complete.
A total of 547 ballots were cast
during the voting which took
place Thursday and Friday. Con¬
sidering the sharp decline in ASB
book sales this figure was hailed
as a moderate success by elections
commissioner Kathy Primm.
Last year’s spring election at¬
tracted only about ten per cent of
the student and while this year’s
figure compares almost exactly
to that of last spring you have
to go by the number of ASB books
sold. No student was eligible to
vote unless he possessed one of
these books.
Of the 547 ballots that were
dropped into the boxes only 12
were ruled void by the elections
commission. Most of the errant
ballots were filled out by sopho¬
mores.
Members of Circle
К
have proclaimed tomorrow as
THE CAR car wash day on campus and for a nominal fee they
FELLAS, will enhance the appearance of any and all autos.
THE CAR That is, of course, if there is a noticeable lack of
feminine beauty in the washing area. Here three
members of the organization are thoroughly dis¬
tracted by the admirable form of Virginia Evans.
Listed among the distracted are Bud Green, Grant
Bachtold, and Hank Pauloo. You will notice that
the form is strategically located though.

Circle K’ers get ready
with sponges , towels
The long but rather enviable
task of finding 1960’s Tournament
of Roses queen commences a
week from next Monday with the
initial tryout in the Women’s
Gym.
All candidates must be carry¬
ing at least 11 units of work and
they must not have any E or F
grades and not more than one D
grade.
Good luck, girls.
It’ll be buckets of suds, sponges, and towels for PCC’s
Circle K’ers tomorrow as the honorary men’s service organiza¬
tion sets up its car washing establishment on the women’s
basketball courts. The beautifying operation will get underway
at the early morning hour of 6:30 _
in order to be on hand for stu¬
dents with 7 o’clock classes. But
the suds will be ready throughout
the day for the later arrivals.
One lone dollar is all that will
be required by the members of
the campus’ red-jacketed clan to
enhance the beauty of any Lan¬
cer chariot, be it a T Bird, a tin
lizzy or one of the foreign econ¬
omy bugs.
In order to facilitate a more
efficient car clean-up operation,
only 75 cars will be given the op¬
portunity of being washed by the
Circle
К
group. In the past, as
many cars as possible were han¬
dled, but it is believed that a bet¬
ter job can be done if the num¬
ber of cars is reduced.
Mike Mikesell is repeating in
the job of car wash chairman aft¬
er successfully handling last se¬
mester’s operation. The entire
club is' assisting him in the fall
bucket and water hose program.
Although sponges, a garden
hose, and drying towels may seem
a bit old fashioned to anyone who
is in the habit of visiting the
more modern establishments, it is
promised that the cars will be as
clean and sparkling as any auto¬
matic car wash could get them.
And it’s cheaper, too.
