Martin Luther King Scholarship
Fund Supports Needy Students
Among the scholarships, loans,
and grants available to PCC stu¬
dents is the Martin Luther King
Scholarship Fund.
Dr. Armen Sarafian began this
program after the death of Dr.
King by donations he had received
from private citizens and from
speaking engagements.
The fund has been used as an
emergency loan fund for food,
rent, school supplies, or for any¬
thing that keeps a needy person
attending school. To a limited ex¬
tent it is also used as a grant
fund, which is not required to be
paid back to the school.
One can qualify for this with
eight units or more a semester.
There are no age barriers or dis¬
criminations of any kind — only
the need for financial aid.
There is currently a campaign
to get the faculty and staff mem-

Auditions for the Pasadena November. The chorale will then
bers to give $1 per month (or
more) toward the fund. Plans are
also being made for student and
community drives. It is hoped
that by these contributions the
fund will become so large that
the money can be invested to cre¬
ate more grants. Last year 116
persons were aided by the lending
of $4455.
If you would like to make a
contribution to this fund or any
other, go to the PCC Bank where
you will also receive your tax-
deductible receipt.
Four students are contending
for the office of Freshman Class
president. They met together
against the members of the press
last week in a press conference
designed to discuss the responsi¬
bilities, privileges, and issues in¬
volved in being an ASB officer.
Tim McConnell, Guy Stewart,
and Ed Lewis were present for
the press conference. The fourth
candidate, Jan Nicometo, was not
present. (For her views on the
issues, students should read the
ASB newspaper, Commission on
Dialogue.) The interviewers were
Mary Jo Young, editor of the
Courier, Stephen Lantz, editor of
Aspect, and guest questioner Os¬
car Rodriguez, first vice-president
of the Senate. Moderator was Ed
Powell, elections commissioner.
During the hour-long interview
many subjects were discussed, the
most relevant to the candidates
being the explanation of what the
duties and responsibilities of the
office of Freshman Class presi¬
dent are.
McConnell felt that “my duties
are to perform to the utmost any
problems that come up regarding
student and ASB problems and to
help make PCC a better institu¬
tion of higher learning and to
Chorale’s performance of Han¬
del’s “Messiah” will be held to¬
night and next Wednesday, Oct.
15, at 7 p.m. in 102K.
According to William Hatcher,
chorale director, the auditions
will consist of singing at least
one chorus from the “Messiah,”
following the group’s regular
Wednesday night rehearsal.
The chorale is open to singers
with previous choral experience.
The “Messiah” will be performed
with the Pasadena Symphony
Orchestra, conducted by Dr.
Richard Lert, on Wednesday,
Dec. 10, at the Pasadena Civic
Auditorium.
Rehearsals will be held on Wed¬
nesday nights until the end of
UC Admissions
Early filing for admission to
the University of California has
become even more important
than in the past. Beginning with
applicants for the Fall Quarter
1970, filing deadlines will not
be announced in advance and
will vary from campus to cam¬
pus. Applicants should file as
early as possible. All campuses
will observe the traditional Oc¬
tober 1 opening date for the
acceptance of applications for
the following fall quarter. See
your counselor for an Applica¬
tion Bequest Card or write di¬
rectly to the Office of Admis¬
sions at a particular campus.
meet twice a week during the
two weeks preceding the perform¬
ance, including December 8 and 9.
This year’s joint sponsorship of
the chorale by the PCC Music
Department and the Pasadena
Symphony Association marks the
first time that the two groups
have cooperated in this way. Rep¬
resentatives of both feel that a
culturally stimulating atmosphere
will result, and that this will help
the size and quality of the chorale.
Further information about the
Pasadena Chorale may be obtain¬
ed by contacting the PCC Music
Department, or by telephoning
the Pasadena Symphony Associa¬
tion at 793-7172 between 9:30 and
4 Monday through Friday.
PCC Placement Center
Offers Employment
The Placement Center serves
the important function of linking
PCC with the community at large
by bringing together prospective
employers and prospective em¬
ployees.
A great variety of employment
is available to students through
the center: full-time and part-
time, career, temporary, and
“spot” jobs. Most of the openings
are in the Los Angeles area, al¬
though information is available
on jobs outside the area.
A number of companies send
representatives to PCC to inter¬
view students seeking employ¬
ment. These interviews are held
primarily in the spring for full¬
time jobs and would be of interest
to graduating students.
Associated Men Students
Continue Membership Drive
There are always more job
openings than applicants, espe¬
cially in the spring. Last year,
more than 1600 students were
placed through the center.
The services of the Placement
Center are free and available to
anyone enrolled at PCC or any¬
one who has taken 12 units or
more at PCC.
Many alumni use the Placement
Center even though they attended
PCC years ago.
The Placement Center is located
in 170C and is open daily from 9
to 12 and from 1 to 3:30. Bulletin
boards outside the office list po¬
sitions available and give the
type of work, hours, and pay for
the position. Pamphlets and bulle¬
tins describing companies and em¬
ployment opportunities are kept
on open file in the center.
The PCC Placement Center was
one of the first junior college
placement centers in the state,
and other colleges have used it
as a model.

representation of such groups as
the Pep Commission and the
sports program. Everyone should
be represented . . . everybody on
campus should have their say so
that we have a well-rounded
school with everybody voicing
their opinion and everybody work¬
ing together to make this a better
school.”
Some Answers
Stewart stated, “First of all, my
primary duty would be to hear
the wishes of the Freshman Class
and try to perform their wishes
to the best of my ability. First,
I must hear the wishes, and I
think that if I were to help the
Freshman Class express itself
more in that, they would become
more active in school. This would
remove any slight bit of apathy
from the campus.
“This has been tried before, and
I will try it again to help liven
up this student body, along with
(the help of) everyone else on
the board.”
Lewis reported his interpreta¬
tion was, “I feel that as Freshman
Class president, I would owe my
position first of all to the Fresh¬
man Class, for they are the ones
who put me there, and I feel that
everything I do is for the Fresh¬
man Class, and seeing that they
are capable of expressing their
opinions to the members of the
ASB Board, the faculty, and the
school, so that they are under¬
stood, and not misrepresented.
And that the main task — the first
task — involved is to get across
freshman ideas and see that they
are carried out.
“Then I feel that, if elected, I
must have a good board so that I
would have a very strong posi¬
tion. I have to have reliable peo¬
ple — able to do the job. I think
the main idea is to get the fresh¬
men together as a class and have
their ideas brought across.”
More Comments
Another important question
asked whether the candidates
felt that the ASB Board had the
power to deny admission of cer¬
tain groups on campus. The gen¬
eral concensus of all three candi¬
dates present was that the Board
definitely did have this power.
In summarizing their qualifica¬
tions, the candidates gave a resu¬
me of what they felt that they
could do, if elected to the post.
The Associated Men Students
announced this week that their
membership drive will be contin¬
ued for the next two weeks.
AMS is designed to build a more
unified mens’ organization at
PCC, has traditionally organized
Homecoming activities, sponsored
a scholarship, and co-sponsored
other activities.
One of the main purposes of
the organization is to help stu¬
dents get involved, destroying
student apathy through creativity
of the mind.
The only requirement for elec¬
tion to membership is a 2.0 grade
average. All male students that
would like to know more about
the organiaztion or who would
like to apply may do so by in¬
quiring in the Campus Center,
upstairs. Drop in the AMS office
or talk with Mrs. Mary Lou
Maxon.
NOT SATISFIED WITH THE
TEACHERS YOU CHOSE?
It’s too bad your fellow students didn’t
evaluate the faculty last semester so
you could have made a better choice!
