Solutions Suggested for Parking
Woes During Trustees’ Meeting
By Jim Gunther
Staff Writer
A presentation by an independent
firm concerning structure revisions,
including library renovations and pro¬
posed solutions to the parking dilemna
was given last week to the college’s
Board of Trustees. The presentation
signaled the end of the first phase of
PCC’s Master Plan.
The firm, Kurt Meyers Accociates of
Pasadena, entered into an agreement
with the school earlier this year as part
of a five-year plan to modernize and
expand several of PCC’s older build¬
ings.
Representatives of the firm said that
another month will be required to
complete the revisions, at which time
they will be resubmitted to the board.
Included in the structural revisions
are plans to replace the men’s gym¬
nasium, which is felt to be in serious
need of renovations, and the library.
Dr. Jack Scott, president-superinten¬
dent, expressed to the firm and the
other trustee members the need for
prioritization since the changes will
depend primarily on the financial ob¬
ligations of each project.
Scott noted that many of the pro¬
posed projects schedules would be de-
KPCC to Start Fund
Raising Next Month
By Ami Solomon
Special Correspondent
KPCC will hold its second fund drive
of the year from Nov. 11 through Nov.
21. The Fund Drive is expected to be
the largest one ever held, according to
Rod Foster, general manager for the
station.
KPCC is a National Public Radio
station which depends on its listeners
for support. This drive’s goal is to
increase the 3,350 supporters by 2,000
new members. The station’s staff
members have not set a monetary goal
for the drive, however, they are expect¬
ing to surpass last July’s total of
$50,500.
The station’s trasmitter was moved
last July from the campus to Mount
Wilson, thereby expanding the station’s
listening audience. KPCC now reaches
to all of Los Angeles County, north
Orange County, west Riverside County
and San Bernardino County.
The drive will consist of on-air
pitching for pledges and direct-mail
advertising to the public as well as to
previous members. The theme of the
drive is “Get A Friend’’ to support the
station.
The station is also asking for volun¬
teers to answer phones and accept
pledges. Anyone interested in working
the event should contact Libby Huebner
at 578-7231.
Enrollment Tops Fall ’87 Mark
By Jim Dyce
Special Correspondent
PCC student enrollment continued
strong for the fall 1988 semester. Third-
week enrollment census figures stayed
above the 20,000 mark with 20,270
enrolled. That number exceeds fall 1987
enrollment by 337 students.
This enrollment figure is for full and
part-time students, day, night, week¬
end, and for short-term courses which
began on Sept. 12, said Charles Reed,
data controller in Information Support.
Weekend enrollment remained
strong and co-eds slightly increased
their lead over their male
counterparts.
The census showed, female enroll¬
ment was 10,927 — up 245 over 1987,
while male enrollment was 9,325 — up
pendent upon state and federal grants.
Also presented were the firm’s many
alternatives to the existing parking
situation on campus. A statistical
survey found aspects which the firm
will use as guidelines for any parking
proposals. The research included input
from students, faculty, and from board
members themselves.
According to Gilbert Morgan, Stu¬
dent Trustee to the board, “A bare
minimum of 2,000 more parking spaces
is needed by the college to solve the
current parking space shortage.”
Ideas to alleviate the problem in¬
cluded plans for parking structures, as
well as a number of ways in which the
college could relocate existing build¬
ings to provide critcally-needed spaces.
One such idea calles for the construc¬
tion of parking structures on land cur¬
rently used for athletic field. The firm
suggested that astroturf-surfaced play¬
ing field then be built on top of any
parking structures to create elevated
baseball or football fields.
Considered in such plans was the
need felt for the relocation of the Child
Development Center back on campus.
One suggestion called for the placing of
the CDC in the Women’s Gym.
“That is probably the best place for
it,” said Morgan.
The firm also found that the effect of
PCC for local businesses is only 400
feet, meaning that staff and students
were found not to travel more than that
distance to eat or shop at the area
restaurants and shops.
At the end of the evening, the board
felt that whatever plans are chosen
should be ones that try to assess and
encompass the needs of the entire
campus.
The evening presented an op¬
portunity to both the firm and the
trustees to sound out their ideas and
concerns in an attempt to further
ensure the projects’overall sucess.
The meeting marked the beginning of
the second phase of the plan. This
phase would call for the exploration of
funding, the cost-breakdowns and the
feasabilities of the plans.
‘Quick’ System Starts

141 over last year.
The weekend student enrollment
stayed strong in the face of a 23 percent
decrease in Saturday classes from 49
classes in 1987 to 36 this year. Despite
the decrease, weekend enrollment only
reflected a 10.4 percent drop — from
675 last fall to 606 presently enrolled.
While foreign student maticulation
at PCC appears to be headed toward
extinction, dropping from 83 last fall to
a current 58. Immigrant and refugee
student enrollments displayed good
growth with an increase of 227 and 51
repectively.
The mature student (students aged
30 and over) enrollment also rose to a
total of 5,050 students.
Part-time student numbers showed
an increase of 251 for a total of 14,044,
and continued to hold a two-to-one ratio
over full time. Full-time enrollment
rose 89 students to 6,226.
The war on long lines for continuing
student registration is being waged on
a new front for the Spring semester.
Quick Check Advisement, a new con¬
cept in pre-registration counselor ap¬
proval, has been implemented by the
faculty and administration of PCC Stu¬
dent Services.
Much like the actual registration
process, Quick Check uses the priority
registration number of each continuing
student to determine when he or she
will be able to come in for approval of
their Spring itinery. Continuing stu¬
dents should have already received a
computer-generated printout apprising
them of the new systeam and informing
them as the their date for counselor
approval.
Several printouts have been returned
to PCC due to incorrect or invalid
addresses on the Master Computer.
Students who have not received
notification are advised to check with
the Records Office and update their
address if necessary.
Continuing students who have al¬
ready established counseling services
with Special Services, EOPS, or the
Adult Re-entry programs are advised
to continue using their counselors and
to disrgard the notice.
For those using Quick Check, the
counseling department requests that
you bring your notice with you to obtain
advice and counselor approval.
The times reserved for Quick Check
Advisement are Monday-Thursday
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 7
p.m. in D200.
ICC Blood Drive Set
By Michael Gaughan
Special Correspondent
PCC will host the first of two blood
drives this year today from 8:30 a.m. to
1:45 p.m.
The American Red Cross is in
desparate need of blood from people of
all types.

Everything came up roses for Charmaine Beth Shryock, left and center, of Westridge School after the
announcement Tuesday that she had been chosen as the Queen of the 100th Tournament of Roses Court. In a
ceramony held at the Tournament House, Shryock was selected over Raquel Anne Black, left and Carolyn

of blood daily in the Los Angeles
County area alone,” comments Travis
Henderson, a spokesman for the Pasa¬
dena chapter of the Red Cross. “As it is
now, we have to go to outside sources
like the Orange County and San
Bernardino County chapers for the
blood we need.”
When asked what he would tell the
potential donor who is apprehensive
about giving blood due to the paranoia
surrounding the AIDS epidemic, Hen¬
derson replied, “There is no way to get
AIDS from donating blood. Our needles
are sterile, individually packaged and
disposable.”
Henderson said that the blood
donated will be tested for the AIDS
virus and other toxins, but that the Red
Cross discourages the use of the dona¬
tion process as an AIDS test.
“One pint of blood is divided into four
different components: plasma,
platlets, white blood cells and red blood
cells. This means that every pint can
potentially benefit for different peo¬
ple,” added Henderson.
To prepare yourself for donating
blood, the Red Cross asks that donars
eat something beforehand and be in
good health (no flu, colds.) The only
other stipulations are that the donar
weigh at least 110 pounds, be 17-years
or older, and have not received a tattoo
withing the last six weeks.
Interested students should contact
Student Activities, located in the Cam¬
pus Center, CC203 to set an appoint¬
ment time.
This event is sponsored by the Stu¬
dent Activities office and the Inter Club
Council, and is part of the

CAP
program (Campus

Community Ac¬
tion Project and is coordinated with the
American Red Cross.

Information Office Revamped
With the appearance of the new Facilities Use Coordinator, Helen Leiva,
came changes to the Information Office in the C building.
Some of the changes include an expansion of hours. The office is now open
to students from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily. With the expanded hours
comes more available information of interest to students. Instead of the one
copy of the Class Schedule that has been available in the past, there are now
enough copies of all campus publications to satisfy the volume of students
asking for them.
Groups interested in tickets to theater productions can sign up with Ms.
Leiva to obtain them. She is currently planning to take a group to see
Phantom of The Opera.
The Information Office is constantly looking for new information to make
available to students and staff. If you have any information please submit it
to the Information Office, C226.
