Howard Way To Speak At College
Howard Way, president pro tern of the State Senate
will speak here tomorrow at 10:30 in Harbeson Hall on
“Higher Education and the Legislature.” His speech is
scheduled to last 20 minutes. The remaining time will
be open for discussion.
Senator Way holds the distinction of representing
the largest district in California, the 15th Senatorial
District. He was first elected to the State Senate in 1962
and was re-elected with a substantial majority in the
1966 General Election.
Born in Washington in 1913, Senator Way came to
Exeter in 1925. He entered the University of California
during the depth of the depression, worked at odd jobs
to pay his way, and was graduated in 1935 with a degree
in agricultural economics.
From 1943 to 1946 he served in the U.S. Navy, was
active in the Kiwanis Club, was scoutmaster and director
of the Mt. Whitney Area Boy Scouts Council; directed the
March of Dimes in Tulare County in 1955-56; was chair¬
man of the county chapter of the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis 1955-61.
He served two terms as trustee of the Exeter Union
High School District and two terms on the 24th Agri¬
cultural District Fair Board, to Which he was first ap¬
pointed by Governor Earl Warren. Senator Way is an
elder in the Presbyterian Church.
Senator Way quickly established himself as a hard¬
working and articulate member of the Senate achieving
membership on committees he believes are best for his
district. He was appointed by the Senate Rules Committee
to the Commission on California State Government
Organization and Economy. He was also a pioneer in self-
help housing and now serves as a director of Self-Help
Enterprizes, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to
assisting farm workers to achieve ownership of their
homes.
Senator Way’s appearance is being sponsored by
the Social Science Department with the cooperation of
Republican Associates of Los Angeles County Campus
Action Committee.

PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
OCTOBER 29, 1969
RALPH S. HELPBRINGER, chairman of the Tour¬
nament of Roses queen selection committee,
shows Pasadena City College coeds a pictorial
display chronicling the selection of 1969 Rose
Queen Pamela Anicich and court. Miss Ani-
cich, now a student at the University of South¬
ern California, was a PCC coed last year,
while 1969 princess Virginia Walker attends
both City College and Cal State Los Angeles.
Members of the Tournament's judging commit¬
tee previewed the 1970 tryouts on campus Oc¬
tober 9 and also answered eligibility ques¬
tions. PCC was one of 16 schools eligible to send
coeds to the first judging session, held Wed¬
nesday, October 15 at Tournament House in
Pasadena. Theme of the 1970 Rose Parade
is “Holidays Around the World," with the fes¬
tivities scheduled for January 1.
Semifinaiisfs To Be Judged
for 1970 Rose Parade Court
Microfilm Readers
In PCC Library Use
Only 63 coeds out of an original
tryout field of 474 remain in the
competition for the 1970 Rose
Queen and Court after a second
judging session last Wednesday
at Tournament of Roses head¬
quarters in Pasadena. PCC still
has 29 representatives.
A total of 191 girls was in¬
vited to the second tryout.
Following a third tryout today
the field, which includes girls
from three private schools, two
colleges and eight high schools
in the Pasadena Area Junior Col¬
lege District, will be cut to a
maximum of 25 for a final judg¬
ing on November 3.
Preesident Nixon’s lottery plan,
which limits draft eligibilty to 19-
year-olds, was recently approved
unanimously by the House Armed
Services Committee and sent to
the House floor.
The plan would give 18-year-
olds advance notice of their like¬
lihood of being drafted at 19. A
lottery in September or October
would set up a draft order for the
365 birthdates of the succeeding
year.
Those whose birthdates were
Both sessions are scheduled for
3 p.m. at Tournament House, 391
South Orange Grove Blvd.
Out of the group of 25 finalists
will come a Royal Court of seven
princesses to be named on Novem¬
ber 4 by the Tournament’s Queen
Selection Committee, headed by
Ralph S. Helpbringer. A week
later, a queen is to be picked to
reign over the 81st annual Tourn¬
ament of Roses Parade, January
1, in Pasadena.
Remaining in the competition
are 32 woman contestants from
Pasadena City College and Pasa-
drawn first would have the high¬
est probability of being drafted
in January of the succeeding year.
Men with deferments would be
put back into the lottery pool
with the 19-year-olds at the end
of their deferment period.
Secretary of Defense Melvin
Laird expressed confidence that
the plan would also be approved
by the House and hoped that the
Senate would act quickly so that
the plan could go into effect early
next year.
dena Nazarene College, five from
Mayfield, Polytechnic and St. An¬
drews, all private schools, and
another 26 who attend Arcadia,
Blair, La Canada, Muir, Pasadena,
San Marino, South Pasadena and
Temple City high schools.
Originally only 50 girls were
expected to be invited back for the
third session, but many had high
ratings “so we decided to add 13
to the list,” said Helpbringer.
Wednesday’s tryout, involving
the 191 coeds, saw each walk
past the nine-member judging
committee on the north lawn at
Tournament House. The quarter-
finalists also gave a short “off the
cuff” talk of their own choosing.
“We asked for the spontaneous
remarks to find out about each
contestant’s poise or how good she
is talking on her feet,” said Help¬
bringer. “We weren’t interested
in originality because we knew
most of the girls would say the
same thing, but we wanted them
to sparkle a bit.”
Helpbringer has stressed
throughout the tryout sessions
that the Tournament is looking
for “a girl next door” to be queen
or on the court.
Coeds selected for the semifinal
competition were notified by mail
when to return for further judg¬
ing.
The PCC library is on the move,
says William Grainger, librarian.
Perhaps one of the biggest move
is toward the use of non-book ma¬
terials.
The. machines in front of the
reference room are an example of
the kind of non-book materials
Grainger was speaking about.
Two of these machines are micro¬
film reader-printer.
The use of microfilm as a “car¬
rier of knowledge” is a necessary
move, explained Grainger. PCC’s
library is one of the oldest
junior college libraries in thhe
state, and the present building is
over 20 years old. Originally built
to house 70,000 volumes, it now
holds nearly 90,000. In short, we
need space explained Grainger,
and microfilm is one way of con¬
serving space.
Another reason for moving to
microfilm is that it makes avail-
Spring Sign-ups
Set November 10
All students wishing to enroll
in the spring semester at PCC
should do so in November.
Students who are now, or will
be Code 5 by November 10 will
have first chance at the classes
for spring. Counseling appoint¬
ments for these students can be
set up for November 10 or 12.
Anyone within Codes 1-4 will
have counseling appointments
made in Sexson Auditorium, No¬
vember 13 and 14.
Students who miss these pre¬
arranged dates will have to make
appointments on their own in the
Counseling Center, 138C.
According to counseling secre¬
taries, everyone should try to set
up meetings with his counselor
on the dates noted; failing to do
so could result in not getting the
classes preferred.
A tentative date of March 13 is
set as the deadline to have the
petitions for graduation in the
Counseling Center. It is subject
to change.
Students hoping for a January
graduation should have had re¬
quests in by October 20.
Undergraduate college students
who are in need of financial as¬
sistance to continue college should
file a State Scholarship Applica¬
tion.
Approximately 6000 new State
Scholarships will be awarded in
April, 1970, for use in 1970-71.
Most of the new awards will be
available to high school seniors
but the number available for
currently enrolled college students
who are not already in the State
Scholarship Program has been in¬
creased by recent legislation.
State Scholarships are available
for use at any accredited four-
year college in California. The
awards range from $300 to $2000
able to the student, material not
previously available. As an exam¬
ple, Grainger explained that back
issues of the New York Times are
now available. Previously it was
possible to keep only about three
to six months of the back issues.
The library is experiencing
other growing pains. Have you
noticed the electrical outlets?
Grainger explained that these
were installed with an eye to the
future. Plans are now being made
to branch out into several differ¬
ent kinds of non-book material
such as film-strips, tape record¬
ers and records. Most of that is
still in the future.
The library staff is aware of
student needs.
