Parking Committee
Plans Car Pools
PCC’s student transportation
committee reported this week
that an all-out effort to create
rider and driver car pools is the
first step toward alleviating the
serious parking problem on cam¬
pus.
Chairman Bert Dorman an¬
nounced that within one week a
transportation , center will be
opened to help students locate
persons with whom to share
rides. The transportation center
will be established in a central
location and will operate in con¬
junction with the Campus
У.
Each student will have an op¬
portunity to indicate his willing¬
ness 1
о
cooperate by completing
a transportation questionnaire
which will be distributed next
week. The questionnaire will
seek to learn where the greatest
number of students need aid whe¬
ther in car pools, buses, or walk¬
ing.
Flu Absences Increase;
PCC Record ’Hoi Bad’
As is the ease in a number of Los Angeles County schools,
PCC has felt the influx of flu victims among its student body.
Some schools have registered up to 40 per cent absence due to
various types of flu, but PCC has luckily escaped any such
epidemic.
According to Miss Elaine Ed¬
mondson of the Attendance Office,
a large number of the absences
can be attributed to the flu, al¬
though whether or not it is Asian
flu or just a common cold is hard
to determine. “We do have a
number of flu cases,” she declar¬
ed, “but nothing like the num¬
ber that have been absent from
the high schools here.”
High Schools Hit
Pasadena’s Muir High School
and San Marino High School are
two of the hardest hit in this
area with Muir suffering 625 ab¬
sences from their 2612 enrollment.
PCC’s Health Center also re¬
ports a higher percentage of flu
cases over previous years, al¬
though it is not known whether
the illnesses are from Asian flu
or ordinary flu. Mrs. Lois Grube
of the Health Center expressed
the desire to see students who are
ill spend more time in making
a full recovery. Many students re¬
turn to classes before completely
recovering and further complica¬
tions develop. She advises stu¬
dents to remain home at least
three or four days. “We send any
student home who has a fever,”
she reports.
More Absences
Normal absenteeism from most
schools is around an average of
five per cent. However, many
schools in the San Gabriel Valley
report much higher absence rec¬
ords this 'past week.
The Health Center reports that
the medical world expects the
worst siege of Asian flu to come
in early December.
Ten representatives of Pasa¬
dena’s student government will
travel to Riverside this Saturday
to participate in the SCJCSGA
Fall Conference at Riverside City
College. The Southern California
Junior College Student Govern¬
ment Association conference, bet¬
ter Jmown as SCJCSGA, will be'
attended by delegations from ju¬
nior colleges throughout the
southland.
Ten workshops are being
planned for the annual one-
day gathering. The student
government representatives will
meet in the workshop of their
choice to discuss and exchange
school problems and activities.
Included among the workshop
topics are campus organizations,
social activities, orientation of
new students, publicity and pub¬
lic relations, finance, student gov¬
ernment, and assemblies and
rallies.
PCC will send eight of its
board members, Chuck Ayres,
Larry Walker, Sue Thistlewhite,
Pete Caputo, Bob Flowers, Mike
Mikesell, Mary Lou Johnson,
and Ted Tichy, and two cab¬
inet members, Bob Bartlett and
Joanne Osman, to the caucus.
On the same day, an SCJCA,
Southern California Junior Col¬
lege Association, meeting will me
held at Los Angeles City College
for student government advisers.
Dr. Irvin Lewis will attend as a
representative of Pasadena City
College.
At the student convention, a
state executive council will be se¬
lected to participate in the state
program in November. The state
convention will include delegates
from five regional sections and
will be held in San Francisco.
Campus clothes will be worn
for the first tryout. Each candi¬
date should bring her code num¬
ber clearly marked in black on
a white 5x8 card.
To be eligible, every candidate
must have a C average with no
grades of E or F and not more
than one grade of D during the
tryout time. She must be carry¬
ing at least 11 units and neither
a postgraduate nor a married stu¬
dent. She must also have satis¬
factory attendance and citizenship
records.
Check List
Announcement of those eligible
for the next tryout will be posted
on the bulletin board in the office
of the administrative dean, 102C.
Candidates should check the list
no later than 1 p.m. Thursday,
Oct. 24. The second tryout will
be from 3 to 5 p.m. on the same
day.
Street dresses, suits, simple
date dresses or spectator sport
clothes should be worn for the
second tryout. It has been sug¬
gested by previous judges that
candidates do not wear new dress¬
es which would tend to make
them feel ill at ease.
Board of Judges
The committee of judges in¬
cludes one parent, one dean, two
teachers, three married men stu¬
dents, two married or postgradu¬
ate women students and three rep¬
resentatives from the Tournament
of Roses Committee.
It will be the duty of the Tour¬
nament of Roses Queen to reign
over the Coronation Ball to be
held December 27, 1 as well as the
New Year’s parade and game. She
will be a guest at the Kick-off
Luncheon and the Junior Cham¬
ber of Commerce breakfast.
PCC will send five representatives
as well as Bob Bartlett as state
treasurer of the Association.

STUDENTS IN THE PINK . . . again after being absent from school due to the flu are those
students who are shown obtaining their pink slips from the Attendance Office. Although not one of
the high absentee percentage schools, PCC has nevertheless suffered from the influx of flu cases in
this area. Medical authorities report that the younger students in high schools were harder hit than
older college students.
