Under the title of College Coun¬ cil, they met, along with four elected faculty representatives, to discuss college problems and to recommend policies for the betterment of Pasadena City Col¬ lege. On the agenda at last Wednes^ day’s meeting were public rela tions — how to improve them method of reporting and account ing attendance — how to simplify and cutting and the parking prob lem and what to do about them Several methods of explaining and interpreting the college to the community were suggested by a sub-committee appointed to that job, among them, more stories in the local and metro¬ politan press; wider distribution of the Courier; and the discus¬ sion of campus and community citizenship in classes.. Some changes in the manner of taking attendance have been affected, now that we are a sep¬ arate group from the high school. When a teacher has evidences of cutting, he will advise the coun¬ selor of this, and the student will be dropped from that class. When there are several com¬ plaints from different teachers, the student will be dropped from the school. Since PCC is a state- supported school, attendance at class is the only way to obtain that support. Therefore, strict attendance regulations are neces¬ sary and will be rigidly enforced.
