Freshmen Prepare To
By MARILYN MITCHELL
The cry of students of the sev¬
enties is for involvement and free
speech. The most effective way for
the masses to speak is through
the election of officials.
Tomorrow and Friday Fresh¬
man Class elections will be held
to determine the administration
for the next semester.
Following a week of elimina¬
tions and campaigning, there re¬
main four candidates for the of¬
fice of president. Predictably, in
light of the Women’s Liberation
Movement, the race was at first
feminine-dominated.
There are now two men as well
as two women aspiring for the
office. The candidates are Irene
Garcia, Tom Gimbel, Monika No¬
vak, and Cameron Smith. Gimbel
was the late entry who evened the
contest to two and two.
All candidates have specific
ideas and innovations for the
Freshman Class, which were ex¬
pounded in a debate Tuesday at
noon in the Campus Center. This
forum was planned to introduce
the candidates to the student
body.
Candidates Explain
Miss Garcia introduced her
plan, which embodies the concepts
of involvement, effective organi¬
zation, better dances, and the es¬
tablishment of a free clinic on
campus. While attending El Mon¬
te High School, she was a member
of the House of Representatives,
and has also served on the PCC
Student Senate for one semester.
Miss Novak believes strongly
in the idea of students working
together. She expressed a desire
for exchange of ideas between
students and their elected offi¬
cials. Miss Novak says that she
intends to give much of her time
to the Freshman Class if elected,
and hopes the class will respond
by sustaining an active Freshman
Class Council. Her personal inter¬
ests are drama, art and French.
Gimbel has responded to the
involvement issue by entering the
race for president. His was a late
decision to enter, prompted by
his desire to become active in stu¬
dent government. Gimbel believes
that clubs are a means of activat¬
Elect President
ing the student body, and intends
to promote them and other ac¬
tivities for students.
More Platforms
He lists among his qualifica¬
tions head photographer for the
San Marino High School newspa¬
per. Gimbel is an industrial en¬
gineering major with directions
toward a master’s in business ad¬
ministration.
Smith, a psychology major,
promises as much help as he can
give to unify the school and to
get each student personally in¬
volved. Smith believes in a serious
administration which has useful
ambitions and practical solutions.
Resolving the parking problem
and more meaningful student ac¬
tivities are goals he hopes to
reach.
In order for the students to
better identify the candidates,
ballots will carry pictures of the
aspirants, according to elections
commissioner Mike Karpiel.
The student ID is the verifica¬
tion of registry, and must be
shown to obtain a' ballot. Polls
will be located in the mall outside
C Building, and in front of the
Campus Center. Posters and state¬
ments by the candidates are plac¬
ed at various points on the cam¬
pus to help students decide who
the next Freshman Class presi¬
dent should be.
As usual, may the best man, or
in this case, the best man or wom¬
an, win.

the challenge of placing students

Homecoming week begins Oc¬
tober 26 for PCC, and in prepara¬
tion for the event, Dave Marx and
John Coffie, coordinators for the
festivities, are looking forward to
breaking away from traditional
standards and evolving into some¬
thing more relevant to the times.
There will still be the pre-game
parade before the Lancers clash
with LA Valley on Halloween
night, October 31, with a dance to
follow. The name of the band will
be announced. For interested co¬
eds, applications for homecoming
queen may be picked up in the
Campus Center.

other campus organization.
For more information see Marx
or Coffie in the Campus Center.
To be eligible for queen you must
be carrying 12 units or more and

sonel abilities analyzed so that
both business and the student

The student who will go the ex¬
tra mile, is so often hard to
find, but when the employer
realizes these qualities, he often
becomes more than just cas¬
ually interested in his employee.
Students who are intrested in
securing a part time job or a
full time career position should
go to the job placement office
in the administration building.
The proceedure for obtaining
a job is quite simple. First look
at the job selection board and
see what jobs are available.
Second, fill out an information
card for the school’s file. Third,
see an interviewer. She will
counsel you on your selection
and the best way you will be
able to secure a job you want.
Reporter Finds
Nutritional Fun
By DENISE deVINES
Anything can happen at the
Happenstance Restaurant, Pasa¬
dena’s Old Town nutritional fun
haven. So whether you have peas¬
ant soup or a butterscotch sundae
you’re bound to take home a
pleasant memory.
Pink and white canopies drap¬
ed from the ceiling reflect the
gay mood of diners. Paintings
from the local galleries add to the
carousel atmosphere.
Betty O’Conner, owner and
manager, prefers not to be called
a restauranteur but a bridge buil¬
der and scene setter for nutri¬
tional dining.
She explained, “I was motivat¬
ed to build the Happenstance to
create an atmosphere that pre¬
sented a ‘complete experience’ of
a natural diet. Man is spiritual,
physical, and intellectual, and he
must feed all of these aspects of
his body, not just his mouth.”
Through trial and error she
and her assistant, Roy Lee Ezell,
have worked their way into the
restaurant business determined
by her belief in quality food. Now,
four years after opening the Hap¬
penstance, she’s still serving
great food in a friendly atmos¬
phere.
Luncheon favorites include
“Tom Sawyer’s Raft,” ground
sirloin with fresh mushrooms
served on sprouted wheat roll
with fresh fruit and choice of
salad for under $2.
The “Happenstance Salad” is
an enticing combination of avo¬
cado, cottage cheese, sunflower
seeds, Cheddar cheese and choice
of tuna or deviled egg with
sprouted wheat roll, also under
$2.
Homemade banana nut bread
and graham nut bread are spec¬
ialties of the house. Other unus-

Does your instructor use fair
grading meathods? Does he pre¬
sent interesting lectures? You
may have the chance to answer
these and other questions in the
upcoming teachers evaluation
which is to include the comments
of approximately 1600 students.
Teachers evaluation gives stu¬
dents an opportunity to rate their
instructors on a scale from one to
five concerning information per¬
tinent to teaching methods. In ad¬
dition to rating their instructors,
students will be given space to in¬
clude their own comments. Re¬
sults of tthe evaluation will be
made available to students for a
small cost in order to aid then in
selecting teachres for program¬
ming.
The evalution will be conducted
with the use of IBM cards which
will then be tabulated by comput¬
er. Dr. Frank Yett, chairman of
the Computer Science Depart¬
ment, is helping with the pro¬
gram.
Teachers will distribute the
evaluation materials to their stu¬
dents. Names of teachers who re¬
fuse to take part in the evaluation
will be included in the final re¬
port.
Due to an extended budget, this
semester’s report is expected to be
more inclusive. Last semester
only 1000 copies were available
with an evaluation of only two
thirds of the teachers. This semes¬
ter more accurate results are ex¬
pected.
Bob Wright New Manager
of Campus Station KPCS
Bob Wright is in his first year at PCC as a substitute for John
Gregory, who is on sabbatical, as station manager of the campus
radio station, KPCS-FM (Stereo), 89.3.
Wright is formerly of KNBC-TV Los Angeles, where he served
for 13 years as a commentator and director.
He told this reporter that the students run the station on the
whole, except for the supervision of A. Kenneth Johnson, chief
engineer; Winifred A. Burke, secretary and record librarian; and
himself.
The station presents a wide variety of programs ranging from
jazz to classical to pop to folk. There are some special programs
such as the BBC World Theater, and a German speaking program.
Most of the football, basketball, track and baseball games will be
broadcast this year, since most sporting events are on Saturday and
the station’s regular hours are Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m.
until 10 p.m. These will be broadcast special and live.
Broadcasts from PCC can be heard throughout the San Gabriel
Valley, parts of the metropolitan Los Angeles area, and as far south
as Long Beach.
Wright said that the trouble with a two-year college is that by
the time you teach them how to do things right, they graduate. But
that’s what we’re here for.
For those interested in announcing, the prerequisites are Tele¬
communications 11, and 12, then Telecommunications 14, where as
soon as one proves himself, he’s put on the air.
