Mares' Goals For '85-86: Surveys, Parking

Tension mounted last Monday at the
Tournament House in Pasadena as Bud
Greist, chairman of the nine-member
Queen and Court Committee, an¬
nounced the final cut for the 68th
Tournament of Roses Royal Court.
Seven women from the Pasadena Area
Community College District lined up
with expressions of tearful joy in front
of over 100 friends, relatives and mem¬
bers of the media as the new represent¬
atives of the Tournament of Roses.
“Choosing this year’s Royal Court
was especially difficult,” Griest said.
The search for the 1986 Royal Court
began in mid-September with 915 en¬
trants. The field was eventually nar¬
rowed to 25 hopefuls aiming for the
seven coveted spots on the court.
“All of the girls have been wonder¬
ful, beautiful and charming,” said
Griest. “It was tough to come up with
just seven.”

KPCC (89.3 FM) will hold their
fourth fund drive from Oct. 26 to Nov. 3
to raise money to aid in the move of the
station’s transmitter from atop the C
Building to Mt. Wilson.
The transmitter move will cost an
estimated $100.000. The project has
been negotiated for the past five years.
However, it has been in the last two
years that most of the advances have
taken place.
The current system at KPCC is
referred to as a “negative terrain
effect.” The system is operating in a
bowl shaped terrain where the signal
must go up and out. the problem is that
it is never getting out due to the
disturbances the surrounding buildings
have on the signal. If moved to Mt.
Wilson this problem will be erased and
the listening audience will increase ten¬
fold.
The output of the station is now 4000
watts. On Mt. Wilson, the wattage will
decrease to 750 because the negative

Jr. Along with the band, cheers and
applause from the audience accom¬
panied the ladies as they walked down
the steps to a platform. Where they
were hugged and given a bouquet of
roses from a member of the 1985 Royal
Court.
The members of the 1986 Royal Court
are: Shannon Colleen Guernsey, 17,
John Muir High School; Christine
Helen Huff, 17, Blair High School;
April L. Lake, 17, Arcadia High School;
Tracey Kay Langford, 17, La Canada
High School; Julene Maree Penner, 17,
San Marino High School; Aimee Lynn
Richelieu, 17, San Marino High School
and Loreen Belle Weeks, Pasadena
City College.
Weeks, a sophomore at PCC, is the
oldest of the court at age 20. She is
studying nursing and psychology and
plans to be a registered nurse. She
showed elegant composure as she was
the last of the seven to be called.
“Because of my last name, I’m used
to being the last one called,” she said.
The Princesses of the Royal Court
were selected for their charm, poise,
personality, academic achievement
and communication skills demon¬
strated over the month-long judging
process.
The announcement of the Rose
Queen will be Tuesday, Oct. 22, with
the coronation on the following Thurs¬
day.
The coronation is the climax of the
gala luncheon which will be held at the
Tournament House and promises to
feature the aura of this year’s Tourna¬
ment of Roses Parade theme, “A Cele¬
bration of Laughter.”
As the official ambassadors of the
Tournament of Roses Association, the
members of the Royal Court will attend
over 100 social and media events during
their year-long reign, the highlight of
which will be their presiding over the
97th Tournament of Roses Parade and
the Roses Bowl Game.
terrain effect will be eliminated.
In preparation for the fund drive,
called “From Roof Top to Mountain
Top,” 12 phone lines are being added to
allow for about 360 calls an hour.
In 1982, fundraisers resulted in
$18,000. Another $19,000 was raised the
following year. Last year donations
doubled, accounting for approximately
$40,000.
The Forensics Team ranked high in
the El Camino Warm-Up tournament.
Toni Johnson and Michelle Jones

rry received the ranking ofexcellence.
The team members competed in the

Twelve other community colleges com¬

competitive tournament of the year.

The first AS Board meeting was held
last Tuesday in the Campus Center
under new AS President Jim Mares.
The meeting was quick and smooth and
was used “mostly as a learning ex¬
perience for the new officers,” accord¬
ing to Mares.
“There was a lot of energy today,”
Mares said after the meeting. Mares'
plans for the upcoming year include the
implementation of surveys involving
registration, the library and parking.
Goals For ’85
“My goal is to throw out as many
surveys as possible to get a better
indication of how the students feel
about certain areas of the college,”
Mares said.

rensics, Co-Director Joseph Probst and
debate coach Chrystal Watson accom¬
panied the team to the tournament. The
second phase of this tournament was
held Oct. 11 and 12 at Cal Poly Pomona.
The third phase of the tournament will
be held at San Diego State, Oct. 18-19.
The Dental Hygiene Department will
clean any students’ teeth for only $2.00.
Appointments are available by calling
(818) 578-7241 or (818) 792-1827.
The Armed Services Vocational Ap¬
titude Battery Exam will be given
One of Mares most ambitious pro¬
jects will be his efforts to get the fall
semester started in August instead of
the traditional September starting
date. His reasoning is that the
semester would conclude before Christ¬
mas break. The plan would also call for
12 week classes.
“The main arguement against the
plan is that it would effect enrollment
and enrollment funding,” said Mares.
Parking is an issue that will probably
never fade at PCC. For Mares, the it is
another of his big projects. “The major
problem with the parking situation is
that it is hard to see a quick change,”
said Mares. “It is a time consuming
process.”
Monday at 12:15 in C311, The test lasts
three hours and is designed to help
students in making various vocational
or technical careers decisions.
There is no charge or obligation.
Interested students can sign up in C108.
The Adelphian Club is having a car
wash tomorrow from 9 a.m. until 4
p.m. in the parking lot located on the
corner of Hill St. and Colorado Blvd.
The cost is $2 for cars and $3.50 for
vans and trucks.
Surveys Dominate Plans
"The idea of the surveys is to serve
the students, and that’s our main
purpose. We have all ready discussed
the possibility of a big fundraiser to
help raise funds for the possible im¬
plementation of parking plans that
Scott Svonkin (student trustee) has
been working on,” said Mares.
Mares also has several “little pro¬
jects” in the works, including new
campus directories. Mares will work
with the Campus Beautification com¬
mute in placing the new directories.
When asked how he felt about last
year's AS Board on which Mares
served, Mares said, "We did a great
job last year. I think once everyone
gets used to making motions and how
the procedure of the meetings work,
everyone will be great.”
Amezola and Vargo Return
This year’s AS Board features two
officers who also served last year,
Steve Amezola and Karen Vargo.
Amezola, AS vice president, intends
on working closely with Mares. "My
main job will be to support Jim in all of
his surveys and projects,” said
Amezola. "I especially want to work
closely with the clubs on campus. That
will be my main goal: to involve and
provide the campus clubs with a strong
voice.”
Vargo, vice president of business
affairs, is the remaining returning AS
officer on Mares’ board. The bulk of
her job is now, as she is in charge of the
budget. Her job during the year will be
to moniter to expenses and budget of
the AS Board.
“I really want to find out what would
make more people buy the Student
Service Card,” said Vargo. “Not every¬
one goes to the football games, so we
need to find out other important areas
for students. The tutoring service,
which used to be somewhat expensive,
really benefits from everyone paying
the $8 fee.”
Other AS Officers
The other AS officers are: Lance
Oberholtzer, vice president of
academic affairs; Beth Schindler, vice
president of student services; Lisa
Hybsha, coordinator of campus ac¬
tivities; Jose Novo, coordinator of cul¬
tural affairs; and Irma Hernandez,
coordinator of special programs.
