PCC Places Two

Contributing Writer
The Rose Queen Selection Commit¬
tee announced the seven finalists
chosen as members of the Tournament
of Roses royal court, and two of the
women are students at PCC. Freshman
Monica Lynn Gordon and sophomore
Jamie Lynn Werk were chosen among
the seven according to Mary Bielinski,
committee staff member.
The remaining five finalists are:
Mary Laird Hildeburn, San Marino
High School; Holly Rose Kenney, South
Pasadena High School; Carole
Marshall Owen, Blair High School;
Lisa Anne Beltrami, La Canada High
School; and Kathryn Ann Potthast of
Flintridge Preparatory School. Out of
the seven finalists, one will be an¬
nounced as Rose Queen on Oct. 27.
Pleasant Surprise
PCC student Jamie Werk described
her selection to the royal court as
"great.” “I was in shock,” Ms. Werk
concluded. Her family as well as many
of her friends were present at Wrigley
Mansion when the announcement of her
selection was made.
“My family was ecstatic and every¬
one was crying. They’re really happy
for me,” she said. After her name was
announced, she was presented with
roses and was brought before the me¬
dia for pictures.
“All-American Girl”
Public Relations assistant Nancy
Ferber said that in selecting the Rose
Queen, the nine judges were looking for
poise in the girls, but much more
emphasis was put on how well the girls
did in their interviews. Ferber stressed
that the Rose Queen Selection Commit¬
tee did not want the Queen and Court
tryouts to be considered a "beauty
contest.” What the committee is
searching for is an “all-American
girl”
The initial tryouts for the selection
of the Rose Queen attracted 806 young
women from the area. The girls are no
longer required to be PCC students, but
they must be legal residents of the
Pasadena Area Community College
District.
The 64th Rose Queen will be selected
from the Court on Oct. 27. The an¬
nouncement will be made on the front
lawn of the Tournament House, 391 S.
Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena, at
11:30 a.m.

Patrons Association
Asks for Members
By Mary E. Jones
News Editor
Today is the last day for students to
apply for the Patrons-Parents-Teach-
er-Student Association’s (PTSA) hon¬
ors at entrance scholarship.
All first-time entering students who
graduated from a United States high
school last year with at least a 3.5
grade point average are eligible. Ap¬
plications can be picked up from the
Office of Admissions and Records
C216, just ask for “request for honors
at entrance check cards.”
The scholarships will be presented
Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Forum. Last
fall 72 students were presented with
scholarships. The scholarship amounts
are only announced upon presentation.
In addition to scholarships, PTSA
collects money for PCC’s student loan
fund. The organization earns money
through its $2 annual membership dues
and any donations collected during the
year.
"Anyone that, has an interest in PCC
can join PTSA,” said Irving M, Gar¬
rison, PTSA president. “In the case of
many of us, we’re not students, we’re
not faculty, we’re patrons who have
had children on campus and we’ve kept
a continued interest in the campus,”
Garrison added.
Because of Federal cutbacks in stu¬
dent loans and grants, Garrison feels
that organizations such as PTSA will
have a major role to play in PCC’s
future. "We— parents, patrons, stu¬
dents and teachers— are going to have
to dig into our pockets to help worthy
students be able to come to our com¬
munity college, because the money is
not going to be forthcoming from
Washington.”
Garrison said that many people have
been very generous with their dona-»
tions. He recalled a student last year
who donated $200.
As well as bringing in outside money
for the college, PTSA also acts as a
liaison between local high schools and
PCC’s administration. One high school
representative complained about the
image of the Community Skills Center
(CSC), so we arranged to have Bob
Zegler, head of CSC, meet with them
and work out the problems to have a
more effective program, said Gar¬
rison.
Currently, Garrison is working to
have more high school representatives
on the PTSA board. For the first time a
representative from San Marino High
School, Kay Carius, is working to get
more people from the San Marino area
interested in PCC.
PTSA recently sent out a letter to all
new students in an effort to attract
members. According to Mary Pounds,
membership chairman, this letter is
part of a membership drive which will
continue through March. Anyone in¬
terested in joing the PTSA can pay
their dues at the PCC Bank.
New Safety Director Hired
Theft Prevention Stressed
By Dave Cronemiller
Staff Writer
Philip Mullendore replaced Ralph
Riddle last week as the new director of
College Safety. Mullendore’s office is
responsible for student and employee
safety, disaster services, emergency
Philip Mullendore
preparedness and parking.
Mullendore said he views the role of
his staff as "preventional rather than
repressive" and says he will strive for
professionalism in his department.
In the area of theft prevention,
Mullendore plans to continue his de¬
partment's door check policy. But he
points out that locked doors will not
slop someone who really wants to get
in. He does plan to update the inventory
control system which will help keep a
tighter control on college property.
One current problem that Mullen¬
dore is investigating is the theft of a
time-base corrector (a broadcast sig¬
nal aid) which disappeared a few
weeks ago. The corrector was valued
at $9,000, but Mullendore said it will
cost considerably more to replace it.
Mullendore said the Pasadena police
department is anxious to help him
adjust to his new position. It is impor¬
tant to have a good relationship with
the police department because many
times they are involved in the in¬
vestigation of thefts, he said.
Although the security officers have
in some cases received the same train¬
ing as police officers, and are trained
in handling evidence and suspects, it is
sometimes necessary to summon the
police to the campus.
Mullendore said he has been talking
with his staff individually in an effort
to get to know them better and what
their goals are. He is impressed with
the “quality of both programs and
people” and also feels there is a good
rapport between students and security
personnel.
The college security office maintains
a 24-hour, seven-day-per week opera¬
tion, said Mullendore, including a 24-
hour radio dispatch. The office em¬
ploys 15 full-time security officers and
a number of hourly classified and
student personnel.
Mullendore is a graduate of Califor¬
nia State University at Long Beach,
and holds a master of science degree in
criminal justice. He was a San
Bernardino Deputy Sheriff for eight
years and was the Director of Security
and Safety for the San Bernardino
Unified School District before coming
to PCC.

Carroll Tackles Critical Issues;
Hoping for Help from Students
By Rique Perales
Contributing Writer
In his first meeting as the newly
elected student senate president, Bob
Carroll emphasized the urgent need for
student involvement this year in order
to facilitate the immediate success of
all the programs he intends to imple¬
ment.
High on Carroll’s priority list is the
child care program which requires
further lobbying for an on-campus fa¬
cility. At the moment, the child care
development center is located at the
Community Skills Center and is avail¬
able for all students attending PCC.
Carroll said current facilities are in¬
adequate and need to be expanded.
Carroll also underlined the critical
importance for students to actively
participate in the Parking Committee
which will be working this year with
Cal Trans to obtain the much-needed
parking grounds. It is up to the students
to voice their opinion regarding this
issue since this is a recurring problem
semester after semester, said Carroll.
Carroll supported Richard Kim as
commissioner for the Parking Commit¬
tee.
He also expects the senate to or¬
ganize a weekly or bi-weekly news¬
letter which will be called the ASB
Lance, and anticipates recruiting stu¬
dents who might be interested in writ¬
ing for the publication. The newsletter
will inform the student body about the
Senate’s activities and achievements.
Carroll hopes to finalize the course
information booklet as soon as pos¬
sible, which will provide students with
an advanced outline of a particular
subject, thus eliminating the process
by which a student either drops or adds
a course.
Carroll explained the functions of the
Student Service Committee represen¬
tative. After which Richard Kim,
Barte Masciarelli and John McTeague
each expressed an interest in handling
that job. Richard Kim was appointed to
attend the Service Committee’s next
meeting.
Barry McGowan, the new ASB Presi¬
dent, briefly explained the ASB budget
for spring/fall of 1981. A finance com¬
mission will be nominated to handle
the budget. Dana Hobart, former ASB
president, will probably be given that
job, according to McGowan.
Jennifer McKinney, student ac¬
tivities adviser, joined Carroll in ask¬
ing for volunteers to take part in the
Red Cross blood drive scheduled on
campus Oct. 27, 28 and 29.
