Prexy Declares War on Board Members the requirements of her office. It was admitted by Vasquez that he didn’t really know if he could oust the board members or not. “The question is,” said Vasquez, “is it constitutional? I’m going to indict several members of the board and I’m going to find out.” Lopez Elected Vice Prexy of ASB Board Four vacant positions on the ASB Board were filled by the special election last week with less than one per cent of the over 17,000 students voting.

By David Rust Assistant Managing Editor Gene Vasquez, ASB president, is declaring “war” on certain members of the ASB Board. Meeting with the presidents of the Sophomore Class, Interclub Council, Associated Women Students, and the Student Senate, Vasquez discussed programs and plans which he wanted the ASB Board to implement. After the meeting, Vasquez stated that there were “members of the ASB Board who weren’t following the general plan of action (the Education, Unity and Involvement program created by Vasquez), and who, so far, haven’t submitted any programs, ideas, or have not contributed to government in any way since taking office.” These members, according to Vasquez, are the reason the ASB Board cannot realize any of its goals or programs. Clean Up ASB “If we cannot obtain these programs with the structure of government as it now exists,” explains Vasquez, “we will forget the programs and con¬ centrate on cleaning up student government. “If I don’t get any cooperation (from other members of the board), I will declare war,” he exclaimed. “We (Vasquez and the other board members) will go after each other and only the strong shall survive.” Outlining his plan to clean up the government, the ASB president said he wanted to oust board members, who, according to him, “were not informed, not coordinating with the general program (EVI), and not complying with the Job Analysis Book.” Vasquez maintains that board members were not fulfilling the basic requirements of their offices should, under the ASB Constitution and provisions in Robert’s Rules of Order, be charged or indicted, and then removed from office. Supreme Council “I will go to the Supreme Council,” said Vasquez, “with the names of people I want removed from the board and present my case against them.” The ASB president’s list of primary targets include Sophomore Class President Mark Clark, AWS President Betty Lou Curtis, ICC President Patricia Moeberg, and the representa¬ tives from the United Americans, the Black Student Union and the Asian Students. Vasquez charged that the Sophomore Class president hadn’t planned any class activities, the ICC president didn’t schedule meetings or conduct business properly, and the AWS president didn’t plan or organize any program for women students. The three minority groups mentioned all failed to send regular representatives to the weekly ASB Board sessions. Test Constitution In response to the ASB president’s charges, Miss Curtis, who had discussed the matter with Clark and Miss Moeberg, stated that she was not worried and that she had fulfilled all VOL. 36, NO. 4 PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA OCTOBER 19, 1973 George To kei Spea ks on Japanese- America ns FOUR OUT OF SEVEN AIN’T BAD-From 633 Rose Queen hopefuls who tried out for the 1974 Tour¬ nament of Roses Royal Court, seven princesses were chosen, and four of them are PCC coeds.

College and high school students from all over the Pasadena area, including PCC’s own Circle К Club, invite their Little Braves to a Halloween party spon¬ sored by the Pasadena YMCA on Oct. 27. The Little Braves program is designed by the Pasadena YMCA to meet the need of male companionship for the fatherless boys in the Pasadena area who are 6 to 8 years old. Divorce, death, separation, and military ser¬ vice have rendered these boys fatherless. The program is carried on with a maximum of freedom, giving these fatherless boys (Little Braves) a chance to develop their own initiative and identity under the guidance ol Choral Group Sponsors Sale The PCC Chamber Singers are sponsoring a Halloween pumpkin sale to help raise funds for the coming year’s activities. The pumpkins will be on sale Oct. 20, 21, 27, 28 and 29 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Hill Ave. and Colorado Blvd. parking lot. The students have four tons of hand¬ picked pumpkins ranging from base¬ ball size to footstool size. Featured at the sale will be the “Great Pumpkin,” whose seed count is open to speculation at 25 cents per guess. The closest guess will receive a dinner for two at the Brookside Country Club.

The YMCA provides monthly ac¬ tivities (which include a Thanksgiving dinner, a JPL tour and a snow trip, among others), to which both Big and Little Braves may attend. Com¬ plimentary tickets to use the Pasadena YMCA facilities are extended to all who participate in this program. Funding for all events is raised from outside contributors so that all ac¬ tivities are free of charge to Big and Little Brave participants.

Gunstream, dean of instruction, and the election of the SCC’s officers for this semester. Dr. Gunstream, acting as adviser to the SCC, said that the committee is designed to provide student input regarding all facets of PCC’s curriculum . Members of the SCC work with the chairman of the department they represent, drafting recommendations for curriculum changes related to ever changing student demands. A recommendation is then submitted to the SCC for consideration. If approved, the recommendation is forwarded to the Curriculum and Instruction Committee, an organization comprised of ad¬ ministrators, faculty members and four students selected from the SCC. After careful consideration and occasional lively debate, the C and I Committee voted on the recom¬ mendation.

Officers elected at the meeting were as follows: Jim Douglas, representing the Communication Department, chairman; Sylvia Holmen, from Foreign Languages, vice chairman; Cindy Harlow, Women’s Physical Education Department, secretary. The SCC began business by deciding to develop a survey aimed at gaining informational feedback from students and faculty involved with the various new nine-week courses. This action is in conjunction with PCC’s present considerations of adaptation to the quarterly system. By such actions, the SCC hopes to obtain valid, representative and in¬ fluential material affecting PCC’s curriculum, fulfilling the SCC’s func¬ tion as an informational organ.

PCC nursing student Pamela White proved that she does not have that fear and put her nursing training to good use. While on her way home from school on Oct. 1, she witnessed an accident on Washington Blvd. near Lake Ave. After parking her car, she ran to help. Lenora J. Young, 88, a passenger in the car, was in the process of stepping out of the vehicle when the driver accidentally pushed the accelerator instead of the brake. Mrs. Young, caught between the moving car and Pamela White the curb, fell, fractured one leg and suffered massive tissue injuries on both legs. Arriving at the site of the accident, Miss White applied tourniquets to both legs and took the vital signs while checking at the same time with bystanders to see if there was a doctor or registered nurse present. Having passed a first aid course and being well into the accelerated nursing program at PCC, Miss White had enough background to be able to handle the situation until an am¬ bulance arrived to take Mrs. Young to Huntington Memorial Hospital.
