Board Seats New Members;
Met on Campus Center Mess
By SALLY HANDFORTH
The ASB, or “Amplified Student
Bedlam” Board began transac¬
tions as three new members shuf¬
fled they way across the breach
of impotence and were seated be¬
hind the table of authority.
ASB adviser Coach Myron Tar-
kanian installed Patrick Arra,
ASB vice president; Chris Sutton,
Freshman Class president; and
Two new courses have been
added to the occupational educa¬
tion list of courses for people not
interested in an AA degree but
wanting special training in a par¬
ticular field.
The two new courses are food
services and consumer homemak¬
ing management. Food services is
a technology training course for
men and women wanting to work
in the restaurant business. It is
arranged to give maximum skill
development in food preparation
classes by concentration in lecture
and laboratory classes.
It is divided into four classes,
each more advanced than the pre¬
vious. Its objective is to train for
Plinio Tuta, athletics president, to
their posts.
John Marshall began the pro¬
ceedings by making a motion that
the up and downstairs Campus
Center not be cleaned by janitors
during the week of October 18
through 23, “in order that the pigs
be allowed to wallow in their own
sty.”
The students’ inability to clean
a job and to begin employment as
soon as possible.
Consumer homemaking man¬
agement is a portable classroom
located outside the Men’s Gym
that gives scheduled classes in
food, costs, nutrition, and prepa¬
ration. Also included are clothing,
budgeting and housing. It is a
complete course in consumer con¬
trol and general housekeeping for
both men and women.
Buying and selling automobiles
is discussed as well as buying and
selling insurance.
Interested students can obtain
pamphlets on these two new pro¬
grams by going to the Occupa¬
tional Education Office located on
the second floor of C Building.
up after themselves has surprised
and sickened those who have had
the misfortune of witnessing the
afternoon phenomenon. Trays,
cups, forks, bologna sandwiches,
ashes, straws and apple cores
coat the floors and other spaces.
A unanimous decision to stop
janitorial services next week was
signified by the Board.
Bob Held, Ecology Club presi¬
dent, presented a fund raising
proposal for a paper drive. Profits
for a ton of newspapers is $10,
and he hoped to receive the initial
money to rent trucks and pay for
publicity from ASB funds.
He said the Ecology Commis¬
sion would supply the manpower
needed for the project. Discussion
opened. Marshall questioned
whether students who refused to
vote and pick up their own trash
would be “willing to get their
little red wagons out for a paper
drive.”
It was pointed out, however,
that paper drives have proven to
be lucrative in the past.
The paper drive was tabled un¬
til such time that the money and
interest could be investigated.
Chuck Wilson, ASB president,
announced the weekend Home¬
coming festivities and adjourned
the meeting.
The giddy though sometimes
hostile nature of discussion which
prevailed throughout the meeting
seemed to be due to an exhausted
Board. Aware that Thursday
would soon thaw to the usual
frenzied Friday in the Campus
Center, the meeting was cut short
and all dispersed.
‘Beyond Freedom ’
Is Forum Topic
B. F. Skinner’s most recent
book, “Beyond Freedom of Dig¬
nity,” was the topic of discussion
when the Social Science Depart¬
ment kicked off its forum series
yesterday.
The forum was held in Sexson
Auditorium from 10:30 to 12 and
featured as its main speaker Dr.
Donald J. Lewis, professor and
department chairman of psycholo¬
gy at USC.
“Beyond Freedom and Dignity,”
says “Psychology Today,” “may
be one of the most important,
controversial and terrifying books
published this year. Its message
is clear and urgent: by accident
and by haphazard, irrational plan¬
ning, we have brought ourselves
to the point of widespread human
desolation.”
Counseling Staff
Adds Two Members
Pasadena City College’s recently appointed dean of counseling
services, Ernest F. Neumann, has announced the addition of two new
members to the counseling staff.
Miss LaVera Garcia, who assumed her new position on October 1,
comes to the college from the personnel office of Los Angeles County,
where she worked closely in a program of recruitment and retention
of county employees. Her background includes service at San Gabriel
High School as a counselor and community liaison person. Her
bachelors degree is in political science at California State College,
Los Angeles, where she is now enrolled in a counseling and guidance
program.
Also recently hired, but not starting until November 1, is Ernest
Garcia (no relation), who joins the PCC staff from the ABC Unified
School District. Garcia is involved in a doctoral program at UCLA and
teaches an evening class at Long Beach State College in teacher
training.
Both Miss Garcia and Garcia will work with students majoring
in the social sciences and the humanities, Dean Neumann said. He
added, however, that the addition to the staff of professionals trained
in working with the special needs of the Mexican-American and
Chicano student has strengthened this aspect of the college’s counsel¬
ing program.
Miss Garcia has replaced Rick Guzman who has been appointed
as specialist, Office of Chicano Affairs. Garcia’s appointment is the
result of a growth position which increases the counseling staff to 17.
Special Training Courses
in Food and Management
Psychologists Offer Thursday
Informal Open Rap' Sessions
Do you know yourself? How do
you feel about other people? Do
you know what you want out of
life?
These questions and many more
might be part of the “rap” ses¬
sion held every Thursday at 2:30
p.m. in 156C, the Psychological
Services Office.
These sessions, to which anyone
may come, are guided by Drs.
Joseph Risser and John Tulley.
You sit on the rug and are com¬
pletely free' to talk about any¬
thing you want. The psychologists
make no reports to authorities.
They sit back and let the par¬
ticipants “go to it,” interjecting
necessary information to give it
a psychological basis.
Love, parent relations, how to
get acquainted with people, reas¬
ons for behavior, and feelings
about college work are examples
of things which have been discus¬
sed. Anything could be discussed
as the sessions are “wide open.”
Individuals are never attacked,
only ideas.
Closed sessions are held, too.
Strong intra-group relations are
built in these. A feeling of “com¬
radeship” results, says Dr. Risser.
You may get into these by leav¬
ing your name with the secretary
in 156C.
Time Running Out
for Vets on G.I. Bill
Many eligible veterans now
have less than three years re¬
maining to use their educational
benefits under the current GI
Bill.
Gordon R. Elliott, director of
VA’s Southern California Region¬
al Office, said that most veterans
with service between January 31,
1955, and June 1, 1966, are eligi¬
ble for schooling, but their cutoff
date is May 31, 1974.
Elliott emphasized that the vet¬
eran’s educational program must
be completed by the cutoff date.
“Some veterans in this category
believe they have until 1974 to
begin school,” he said. “The law
states otherwise.”
Veterans discharged later than
June 1, 1966, will have a propor¬
tionately longer time to complete
schooling. The general rule for
establishing a cutoff date is eight
years from the date of discharge,
Elliott explained.
However, since educational ben¬
efits did not become available
under the new law until June 1,
1966, the eight-year period begins
on that date for those discharged
before then.
To be eligible for educational
training, veterans must have a
discharge or release from active
service under conditions other
than dishonorable, and must have
served continuously for 181 days
or more, any part of it after Jan¬
uary 31, 1955.

Growth Rate of
JCs Slows Down
While enrollment in California’s
massive junior college system
continues to increase, a definite
slowing down of the growth rate
is evident throughout the state.
That’s the gist of a brief sam¬
pling of college registration pat¬
terns conducted late last month
by California Junior College As¬
sociation staff.
The reversing trend comes in
spite of pre-fall enrollment pro¬
jections of about a 10 per cent
increase statewide, by the State
Department of Finance and other
census-concerned organizations.
But the trend is not surprising,
say many, in light of several fac¬
tors which include what is gener¬
ally conceived as a changing life
pattern among the nation’s youth.
Jobless PhD’s, the call of the
open road, and the uncertainty of
draft security are removing the
glitter from college education for
many students, college officials
generally agree.
The sampling was conducted
among colleges located in or near
population concentrations in all
general regions of the state ex¬
cept the far North.
