Vol. 24, No. 5 Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California October 13, 1965 COLLOQUIUM SPEAKER — Mrs. Roberta Markman presented the first English Colloquium with William Faulkner as her subject.

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¬ ing. Another mission of the HRC is 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.
