Lancer Eleven Faces Compton Saturday
By Mike McFadden
Saturday night marks the opening of the 44th year
of football at Pasadena City College.
During those seasons, PCC teams have compiled a
combined record of 237 wins, 147 losses, and 21 ties.
Also in that time, PCC has played in three bowl games —
the Junior Rose Bowl in 1951 and again in 1966, plus the
Potato Bowl in 1953.
Pasadena has played in three different conferences
during its athletic history, the Southern Cal, the Western
State, and the Metropolitan. PCC also free-lanced for
two years during World War II.
1966 marked the most successful year in PCC sports
history, with Lancers winning 8 out of 10 conference
championships, a Junior Rose Bowl berth, plus state
championships in gymnastics, basketball and baseball.
LANCER QUARTERBACK — Jim Hurling is shelled by
a host of Fullerton linemen. Jim, however, managed
to get away for a short gain. Fullerton went on to
win the scrimmage by a score of three touchdowns
to two. The Lancers were impressive and should
show a great deal of power this Saturday against
Compton.
During that football season PCC handed arch-rival Comp¬
ton a 37-0 defeat.
Compton will again be the opponent Saturday, thus
renewing the oldest and longest rivalry in junior college
history, the first game being played in 1927. The two
teams have met 43 times with Compton holding the edge
with 25 wins compared to 15 for Pasadena with three
games ending in ties.
Saturday’s game will be another one of those in
which records can be thrown out the window. Both teams
seem to rise to the occasion when they meet.
Compton can be expected to be especially tough this
time because it will be the first game for both teams and
every player will be out to win his spot on the starting
lineup.
Possible starters for the Lancers are:
Offense — Rick Haley, quarterback; Larry Mitchell,
tailback; Mike Reed, wingback; Lance Moon, fullback;
Jack Loos and Brian Fogarty, guards; Bob Martin and
Dick Simon, tackles; A1 Barnes and James Oggs, ends;
and Bryan O’Dorisio, center.
Defense — Steve Clute and Terry Kimball, ends;
Larry Jones and Bill Puluti, tackles; Andre Morris, mid¬
dle guard; Dave Seagrove and Jim Martin, linebackers;
Herbie Alexander, Barry Wilson, Curtis Higgins and
Dennis Sallas, deep backs.

Spartans Smile
Say 'Cheese'
Spartans, PCC’s highest wom¬
en’s honorary service organiza¬
tion, is starting the year off with
smiles.
Realizing the great problems
grumpy people create and how
grumpiness seems satisfied with
the end of summer, the Spartans
are combating the situation with
a smile campaign.
During the first two weeks of
school they will wear their new
red blazers and big smile buttons
in an effort to minimize grumpi¬
ness.
This year’s officers are presi¬
dent Susie Lantz; vice-president,
Margaret Roth; and correspond¬
ing secretary, Grace Velasquez.
Shari Friedland is recording sec¬
retary; Helene Berndes, treasurer;
Ann Wise, historian; and Kathy
Wise, publicity.
Steven Brandstetter, a police
science major at PCC, has been
chosen as San Marino’s first po¬
lice cadet.
Planning to go to California
State College at Los Angeles aft¬
er graduation from PCC, Brand¬
stetter was chosen from eight ap¬
plicants as the first cadet in the
city’s program.
As one of two cadets in the
i program, Brandstetter is paid $2
I an hour for the first six months,
at which time the pay raises to
$2.50 per hour.
The cadet program gives men a
chance to learn if they want to
I go into law enforcement as a ca¬
reer by working in it. Brand¬
stetter, 19, is given a variety of
assignments in his 40-hour week
shift. The cadet cannot be sworn
in as an officer until he is 21. At
the present time he is working in
records section.
Also included in his range of
duties are fingerprinting, lost
and found, and teletype operation.
“Ten-four, area S, over and
out.”
That may be the sound heard
on the campus this year, as the
campus security staff is now
equipped with a set of 60-watt
citizens’ band radios.
The radios are just the latest
in the security staff’s attempt to
make the PCC campus “a safe
place to go to school,” according
to Gil Robinson, coordinator of
security.
An investment of approximate¬
ly $8000 was put into the radios
in order to give the six-man se¬
curity force a means of constant
communication.
As the first classes start here
each morning at 7, two security
officers go on duty too. One man
is on duty until noon, and the
other man is on duty until 3:30
p.m. At 5 p.m. another officer be¬
gins a five-hour shift, with still
another joining him at 6 p.m.
After the two officers get off at
10 p.m., another officer comes on
duty from 10:30 p.m. until 6:30
the next morning.
THE NEW radios include one
in Robinson’s car, and one in the
International Scout, the traffic
control vehicle. There are also
three walkie-talkies.
Radio phones have been install¬
ed in various buildings on the
campus for instant contact with
the security officers. One of them
is located in the Information Cen¬
ter. By contacting the information
operator on the telephone, any
Patrol Capt. Thomas Girvan
said that “We are very happy
with the new program, and have
a good boy to start it. We hope
to encourage high school gradu¬
ates to enter law enforcement
work with this program.” Girvan
went on to say that the college-
trained police is the pattern of
future career officers. San Ma¬
rino’s police force requires at
least one year of college for its
members.
Club Publicity
There will be a short meeting
for all club presidents or their
publicity chairmen in the Cour¬
ier office, 37C, Tuesday, Sept. 24,
at noon. The purpose of the
meeting is to inform club rep¬
resentatives on how they can
get better coverage in the Cour¬
ier. The reporters on club beats
will be introduced.
person on campus can get in
touch with security immediately.
The main source of disturbance
here, according to Robinson, is
from off-campus individuals who
come to PCC to distribute litera¬
ture or to try to direct the stu¬
dents in certain actions. They are
many times instigators of trouble.
Other people from off campus
come to PCC with the aim of
getting anything they can from
cars parked here. Stereo tapes are
a big item in articles stolen from
the cars.
To combat this, increased pat¬
rolling of the parking lots, along
with the use of police patrols, is
being put into effect. Student as¬
sistants are also patrolling on bi¬
cycles.
TWELVE students are hired by
the college at $1.50 per hour to
direct traffic in parking areas.
The assistants try to see that
every available stall is used, and
that students don’t park in areas
that they aren’t supposed to use.
This fall the assistants will
have the aid of walkie-talkies in
their job. With their use, assis¬
tants will have contact with all
parking areas. As the lots fill up,

As Ron Firestone takes office
this fall as ASB president, he
brings with him a new constitu¬
tion to be approved, and faces a
deserted ASB government.
Firestone, a Bolivian-born pre-
med student, has prepared a
rough draft of a new constitu¬
tion for the ASB. The constitu¬
tion contains major changes, ac¬
cording to Dean Curtis, dean of
student activities.
The new document stresses the
establishment of the ASB, refer¬
red to as The Pasadena City Col¬
lege Student Association, for the
purpose of giving the student a
greater role in the policy and de¬
cision making processes of edu¬
cation.
Along with a new constitution,
Firestone may have an entirely
new set of bureaucrats in student
government positions this semes¬
ter. The hard-core members of
the Campus Unity Party (CUP),
that had practically taken over
student government last semes¬
ter, have all moved on. This
leaves a score of vacancies both
on the board and in the commis¬
sioners’ spots.
Open positions on the board
are those of president of the As¬
sociated Men Students, the presi¬
dent of the frosh, and the Senate’s
two vice-president positions.
The commissions with openings
include assemblies, athletics, de¬
partmental activities, elections,
and music. Other unfilled com¬
missioners’ spots are pep, publi¬
cations, publicity, religious activi¬
ties, speech arts, and social af¬
fairs.
Students interested in applying
for such positions should consult
the Student Handbook for details
or inquire with Dean Curtis in
the Campus Center.
Firestone won the elections for
president last June on a platform
promising major programs for
the college.
Running with Larry Cluff, the
new vice-president, Firestone
promised to establish a bi-annual
faculty evaluation sheet, a pro¬
gram that had already been work¬
ed on by last year’s Senate with
no material result.
The evaluation sheet, which is
to be ready by the time counsel¬
ing begins for the spring semes¬
ter 1969, is to include an evalua¬
tion of the course taught by the
teacher, a summary of the course
requirements, and a summary of
the methods used by the teacher.
Similar programs are already in
practice on other campuses, and
have been acclaimed by Firestone
and Cluff to be “among the most
important accomplishments that
can be made for the benefit of
students.”
The other major program prom¬
ised by Firestone and Cluff was
the creation of a new platform for
the expression of student views.
It included the Courier, the free
speech area, off-campus speakers,
and student referendums.
They charged that the “Courier
must be freed from the censor¬
ship that it has been floundering
in for years.” They went on to
say that if the Courier doesn’t
publish the “views of the stu¬
dents and faculty,” and “explore
the issues of vital concern to
students,” they would be forced
to create a new newspaper on
campus.
Firestone and Cluff vowed to
encourage greater use of the free
speech area, including debates.
They also offered to have off-cam¬
pus spakers brought to the cam¬
pus, and finally to use referen¬
dums that will “give the college
and the community the students’
views on vital issues.”

THIS IS PCC? — Many students, after battling traffic early Monday
morning to try to get into an already overflowing parking lot,
would hardly believe this is the PCC campus. See page three and
