Senate Studies Major Student Concerns;
Racism, Communication Rank Highest
Eighty-three members of the Student Senate found their way
to 200C last Tuesday to discuss, among other things, an informal
survey taken by the senators to determine the major concerns of
students here at PCC, the general level of maturity of those students,
and the forming of committees to deal with some of the problems
listed in the survey.
The greatest concerns of PCC students were found to be racism,
the lack of communication between students and faculty, the price
of books bought at the PCC Bookstore, the low prices given by the
Bookstore for returned books, prices charged by the cafeteria and
the catering trucks, parking, and the problems of bicyclists (such as
protected parking).
Some of the suggestions given the senators by other students
were that PE credit be given cyclists, that the separate faculty dining
rooms and washrooms be abolished, and that sensitivity sessions be
initiated here to help diminish racial tensions. Additionally, many
suggestions were made of ways to ease the parking problem.
The Senate has also broken its membership up into committees
to deal with the problems uncovered. These include committees con¬
cerned with parking, bicycling, racism, and problems of handicapped
students.
The only discordant note in the proceedings came as a Senate
member rose to criticize the level of maturity of the average PCC
student. The discussion which followed served to indicate that future
Senate meetings should be somewhat more disciplined, as much time
was taken up with pointless argument and disagreement among those
attending.
To prevent a recurrence of this type of outburst, Senate President
John Marshall has been working with his officers to devise a flexible
system of order to be used at future meetings.
Students interested in participating in the activities of the Senate
are reminded that Senate meetings are held each Tuesday at noon,
generally in 200C.

ASB Board Allocates
Funds to PCC Groups
By SADLY HANDFORTH
New business sounded like old
business when the Ecology and
Assembly commissions submitted
requests for $300 to begin proj¬
ects within their commissions and
were repudiated by the pinchfist-
ed ASB Board, which coveted its
tims and those who knew Cro¬
well, the Ecumenical Council ran
out of the grant which paid for
his services last year.
His dismissal was said to have
been of a purely financial nature.
The Ecumenical Council did not
send anyone, but seminary stu¬
meager budget, the adrenalin of
student government.
Persuasive tactics began with
sordid tones from the commission¬
er’s remonstrating the board’s
tightwad approach to igniting ac¬
tion on campus. The problem was
simply that the commissions
could not function without money.
Three hundred dollars was alot-
ted to both the Assembly and
Ecology commissions with the
understanding that all money not
used would be returned to ASB
general funds.
Publicity Commission was
quickly awarded $100 with the
same stipulation. Pep Commission
politely requisitioned a loan of
$70 to be repaid by December 10.
The very old but controversial
business of Steve Crowell, cam¬
pus minister and draft counselor
and his attempted replacement
came before the board. To the
distress of our campus draft vic¬
dent John Mahon volunteered his
services at $125 a month not to
fill the draft counseling position,
but to help out for the time be¬
ing.
The board debated further in¬
vestigation into the matter but
then decided to have Crowell, a
representative from the Ecumeni¬
cal Council, and the new coun¬
selor come before the board.
Each will be able to tell about
his involvement in bringing to
PCC a draft counselor and what
they know about the Ecumenical
Council’s intentions, to make
more clear the board’s course of
action on this matter.
The meeting was characterized
by a unique display of suave
microphone gripping, which
seemed too cumbersome and awk¬
ward to be truly practical, al¬
though there was definitely an
improvement on what could be
heard by meeting participants.
