ments that the candidates had to meet under the present
constitution, were a minimum of 12 units in this semes¬
ter’s program and a 2.2 grade point average in the pre¬
ceding semester.
The four candidates are Robert Lett,- Ernie Posey, Lau-
rene Spencer, and Robert Serrano.

ior years. He traveled with the musical group and show

versity of Cinninnatti. His outside interests include foot¬
ball, basketball, and writing. He is also interested in
traveling and working in other countries.
Lett said, "In past years the American trend has be¬
come youth. And today youth are rising to question the
previously unquestioned truths dictated by society.” He
went on to say that if he was elected he will “work to
organize our class into an effective unit to further our
education at PCC.”
He added that he “will work to fill the void between
the community and the college so that education is not
only a school experience but also a secular opportunity,”
and he promised to “work with the organizations on the
campus to form a strong representation of the student
body so that we can face the challenge in the school
year 68—69.”

A psychology major, he plans to attend University of
California at Berkeley. He feels that “the most impor¬
tant duty of the Freshman Class president is to act as
a representative and make sure the grievances of the
class are known and corrected by the administration.
“I will work to the best of my ability, and I will work
to solve the problems plaguing the Freshman Class,” he
concluded.
Miss Spencer, a sociology major, plans to get a doctor¬
ate in sociology. A graduate of PHS, she participated in
humanities seminar youth council, a human relations
council, and was a student council representative. She

ence which would allow the student to relate to the act¬
ual world around him as well as his social environment.

70 Prospects Begin Two-Year

of Homecoming
Seven Princesses Seek Votes
in Annua! Penny- Vote Contest
By DEBBIE MISTAL
This year the Nursing Depart¬
ment at PCC welcomed 70 pros¬
pective nurses into its second
year registered nursing program.
The coeds and two male stu¬
dents met for the first time as a
class at the traditional "Big
Sister, Little Sister Tea,” given
to provide new students with an
opportunity to meet other new
students and their “big sisters”
from the sophomore class. Each
new student received her nursing

ment of Boses and four mem¬

cap at the tea. Sophomore stu¬
dents received class pins.
This year the freshman pro¬
gram has been changed. Last
year the new students started
school in the latter part of July
with the fundamentals of nurs¬
ing. This semester they began
with medical-surgical nursing.
This year the program began
in September along with other
fall classes. Now the fundamen¬
tals of nursing and medical-surgi¬
cal nursing are being combined
into one semester.
Instead of being put on the
floor immediately, as was done
in the past, students now have a
month to orient themselves to
nursing procedures through
special laboratory work.
Lab practice is signed for, and
is up to students to use it as need¬
ed. The lab has most of the basic
equipment that the students must
learn to use.
After a month of orientation,
the students will begin to use
their newly learned skills at the
Huntington Memorial Hospital or
at the Arcadia Methodist Hospit¬
al.
Student nurses wear sky blue
uniforms with a white pinafore
over them.
“It’s a Small World” is the
theme for Homecoming ‘68. Last
week, 42 girls were interviewed
by a committee of five teachers
and five students for homecoming
princesses. Fifteen who were
chosen as finalists, have been
interviewed a second time, and
seven girls were chosen as the
Homecoming Court for 1968.
They are Pamela Anicich,
Debbie Neisler, Marlene Plank,
Alana Roberts, Janie Kuhn¬
muench, Anne Stuart, and Janice

tory major, is from Alverno
Heights High School, where she
was president of her sophomore
class, and of Red Cross.

language major from John Muir
High School. She was a cheer¬
leader in the Powder Puff Derby,
and participated in the Secretar¬
ial Club there.
Miss Plank, a history major,
is a freshman from Arroyo High
School, where she was active in
pep, a prom princess, and a
participant in student govern¬
ment.
Miss Roberts, a Blair High
School graduate, is a freshman
majoring in elementary educa¬
tion. She was a majorette, a
homecoming princess, and active
in Y-Teens at Blair.

Pasadena High School, is a lib¬
eral arts major. In high school,
she was in pep. At PCC, she is

tans.

This week the princesses are
getting votes in the penny-a-vote
queen contest. Each girl carries
a can for students to drop pennies
in. The queen will be determined
as the one with the most money
by Friday.
