Off-Campus Frats
Meet With Officials
Rabbi A. Gottschalk
Delivers 3rd Forum
Thirty-eight representatives of
off-campus fraternities and soror¬
ities met in President Armen Sa-
rafian’s office last week to dis¬
cuss college policy toward their
groups with the president and
with S. Luke Curtis, dean of stu¬
dent activities.
Dr. Sarafian first outlined the
history of fraternities at PCC.
These groups were “on campus”
before 1948. They came into con¬
flict with college policies and were
forbidden to pledge new members
that year. All social fraternities
elected to go off campus in order
to continue.
According to Dr. Sarafian, these
groups cannot be associated with
the college for three main rea¬
sons. Under the California Educa¬
tion Code there may be no se¬
cret organizations or groups with
restrictive membership policies at
a junior college. The Civil Rights
Act of 1964 states that any or¬
ganization at a public institution
must be non-discriminatory.
Policy at Pasadena City College
was outlined by Dr. Sarafian and
Dean Curtis as: “Off campus or-
Are Passing
Bells Passe?
Have you missed the sounds of
bells this week?
A mechanical failure is not the
cause. At the recommendation of
the Faculty Council, PCC has
eliminated all passing bells— ex¬
cept those needed for physical ed¬
ucation classes— for a trial period
this week and next.
Professors are depending on
watches to start and stop classes
on time.
The suggestion to eliminate
passing bells came from meetings
that Dr. Armen Sarafian, PCC
president, held with all faculty
members earlier this semester, ac¬
cording to John Twomey, admin¬
istrative dean for the day college.
ganizations will not receive any
publicity nor post any material on
campus”; there will be no “overt
or covert activity” on campus; off
campus groups “will not identify
themselves as Pasadena City Col¬
lege organizations”; and “all or¬
ganizations will desist from haz¬
ing.”
Several representatives express¬
ed a desire to help the college in
any way possible, espcially with
the accreditation procedure that
will take place next week. It was
pointed out that the constitutions
of most of the groups now carry
heavy penalties for vandalism
such as painting school property.
According to fraternity and so¬
rority sources there is general
agreement with what Dr. Sarafian
said. Members are happy to do
nothing contrary to college policy
as long as they can retain their
independence.
New Credit Plan
Being Considered
Students needing credits may
earn as many as three by signing
up for Mrs. Marjorie McGlothlin’s
work-study program.
To earn one credit in the pro¬
gram, a student must sign up to
attend one of the work-study class¬
room sessions which meet at 8,
10, and 1 o’clock Thursday, and
at 8 and 1 Tuesday.
For an additional credit, an in¬
dividual will be assigned three
hours during the week to an office
that best suits his abilities.
To earn two credits, plus the
one credit for the classroom ses¬
sion, the student must devote five
hours per week to working in his
assigned office.
These hours are chosen by the
student not the instructor, so that
they may be worked into the indi¬
vidual’s daily or weekly schedule.
All hours may be completed in
one day, or on several different
days.
The class closes October 15.
Nadine Eames
Named Miss JRB
by Junior Chamber
Miss Nadine Eames, a Lancer
coed, has been named Miss Junior
Rose Bowl for 1965.
The winner was announced
Monday afternoon at a luncheon
held at Eaton’s Restaurant. In
charge of the selection was the
city Junior Chamber of Com¬
merce.
Miss Eames originally was se¬
lected by the PCC Junior Execu¬
tives as one of seven Miss JRB
candidates from the college. An¬
other of the seven girls, Chris
Johnson, was among the four fi¬
nalists from which the winner
was chosen. The girls competed
against other local JC coeds.
The Junior Rose Bowl Game is
a benefit with all proceeds being
donated to organizations within
the San Gabriel Valley area. Miss
JRB will reign over all facets of
the activities for the contest as
well as becoming the center of
publicity.
HR Committee
Meet Planned
PCC’s Human Relations Com¬
mittee will hold its first meeting
of the year tomorrow at 12 noon
in 137C, to discuss the improve¬
ment of intramural understand¬

to identify and seek solutions to
any racial problem at the college.
Persons interested in improving
understanding and communica¬
tions between all of the students
at PCC, are invited to attend the
meeting and participate in the dis¬
cussions.
Several meetings are planned if
enough students wish to become
involved with such problems and
will take part in finding solutions.

Bulletin Board
Block Plan
A new plan for programming
those students who hold part-
time jobs is now being consid¬
ered by the college. It would be
a “two-block” program consist¬
ing of dual programs, one of¬
fered in the morning and one in
the afternoon. Currently, stu¬
dents with jobs in the afternoon
must attend their classes in the
mornings. The new plan would
enable students to hold jobs in
the morning and attend after¬
noon classes also. The plan is
being supported by counselors
and Dr. Armen Sarafian, presi¬
dent. Enrollment at PCC could
increase with adoption of the
plan.
Luau Slated
Prizes, games, and surprises
will highlight this Saturday’s
Hawiian luau, sponsored by the
PCC Patrons Association. The
tropical festivities will be held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Eric Pridinoff of 1221 Virginia
Road, San Marino. Donations
for the luau will be $3.50 per
person, which will be used by
the patrons to help in the assist¬
ance of student scholarships and
student welfare. Entertainment
will be provided by Fannie Mae
Lockwood, impressario. All fac¬
ulty members, students, and
friends are invited to attend.
Buses to Harbor
Encouraged by the success of
the East LA venture, the Pep
Commision is again sponsoring
rooters buses for the Lancer-
Seahawk game Saturday night
at Harbor. The College Bank
is now selling tickets for $1.
Tomorrow is the last day to
pick them up.
