Priority Given to
Communications
By PAT ABBA
Members of the ASB Board,
Faculty Senate and Board of
Trustees met to further commu¬
nication earlier this month at
PCC.
Topics of discussion were:
1. The conditions and facilities
available to the handicapped stu¬
dents on the PCC campus;
2. Communication between fac¬
ulty, ASB officers, and students in
general;
3. A resume of the racism on
campus, described as how much
and to what degree.
Members at the meeting includ¬
ed Dr. Armen Sarafian, president
of PCC. Ail ASB officers were
also present. All representatives
felt priorities were rightfully de¬
served, and should be given to
the handicapped students on cam¬
pus.
A suggestion for lightening the
burden of getting around the
school was the introduction of
elevators to C Building.
As it is, there is no way of
reaching the upper floors unless
someone carries them.
Another item touched on was
the parking situation. Considering
the available space, it apparently
has worked out quite well. Dr.
Sarafian made it clear that they
(the faculty) had consulted the
best parking architectural engi¬
neer available to make sure the
best possible results could be
made.
One strong point about paid
parking was the fact that there
have been no thefts since the paid
parking began, and it’s not likely
there will be. The reason is that
guards can now be paid to watch
the cars and motorcycles, because
of the incoming parking fees.
It was made known that any
money taken in for parking fees
would go back into parking fa¬
cilities.
Also made clear was the fact
that only the allotted number of
parking spaces has been sold and
no more. Thus, if you purchased
a parking space you should have
no trouble parking your vehicle in
the student lot.
An important topic of discus¬
sion was the communication be¬
tween faculty, ASB officers, and
students. In past years there has
not always been complete cooper¬
ation between the three branches
of this school.
It was pointed out that if any¬
thing is to be accomplished on
this campus that there would
have to be unison among the
three bodies. The administration
stated that it would gladly meet
with anyone to help work out
problems.
Finally, a discussion on racism
on campus was the topic. It’s ob¬
vious that there is a certain
amount of racism on campus. A

the elections commissioner along
with the statement of intention.
This year there will be four
voting booths instead of two as
was the case last semester. One
will be located in the Free Speech
Area between the Bookstore and
the Campus Center. Another will
be in the east end of the quad.
Other voting booths will be by
the mirror pool (by the C Build¬
ing), and also in the pit area by
the catering truck parked be¬
tween Y and C buildings.
Students are urged to go to
the polls and vote. Student gov¬
ernment directly effects each in¬
dividual on this campus. So be
sure to get out and vote on Octo¬
ber 7 and 8.
ASB Board Acts
on Various Issues
Competition between Board
members and clattering dominos
set a most unbusinesslike atmos¬
phere for last Thursday’s ASB
Board meeting.
Minutes were approved, and the
first item on the agenda was the
allotment of $28 apiece to each
of the Board’s active commis¬
sions: pep, ecology, publicity, and
assemblies. The money was earn¬
ed from the Board-sponsored
dance last Saturday.
Board members were reminded
that commission interviews begin
Monday of this week and that
students should be urged to try
out.
Board members voted to pass a
request by People’s Lobby that
they be made a club on campus.
The club will be headed by Gerry
Kuener.
A controversial subject has
been the dismissal of Steve Crow¬
ell, PCC’s draft counselor. Hired
by the Ecumenical Council, he
was dropped when the council
decided it could no longer fund
him. Upon hearing that a new
counselor is being sent to the
college, John Marshall, Senate
president, moved he not be al¬
lowed on campus until an investi¬
gation is held to find out if the
council is paying him. Marshall
said, “If they can pay the new
counselor they can pay Steve
Crowell.” The motion was passed.
It was moved and seconded by
the Board that food not be al¬
lowed upstairs in the Campus
Center until a clean-up committee
can be formed to pick up the half-
eaten food left by people. Drinks
are still allowed upstairs, though.
Bob Black, ICC president, asked
for suggestions for a panel of the
California Junior College Assn.
The subject in question was,
“What is wrong with the junior
college system?”
Audience participation was
asked for twice by Board mem¬
bers. The only response was si¬
lence, broken by the clattering of
dominos.
Library Shows
Doll Collection
It’s a small world in a current
exhibit at the Pasadena City Col¬
lege library.
Small people from many lands
can be seen in the display of dolls
which Ann Cassady has collect¬
ed while traveling in the coun¬
tries which they represent.
The dolls are dressed in the cos¬
tumes of a Swiss Guard (Vatican
City), a Scottish piper, gonfalon-
iere (Italy), a pair of dancers
from Ceylon, a Bafana figure
(Italian witch), a Belgian lace
maker, plus representatives from
the Roman countryside, Sardinia,
Yugoslavia, France, India, and
Turkey.
Miss Cassady is the daughter of
Richard Cassady, acting chairman
of the Art Department
The Selective Service System
today clarified policy changes on
undergraduate student defer¬
ments.
College students who were en¬
rolled fulltime in the 1970-71
academic year wifi be eligible
for student deferments in the
1971-72 school year if they contin¬
ue to make satisfactory progress
in their programs of study, Selec¬
tive Service officials said.
However, young men who en¬
tered school for the first time
this summer and those who en¬
roll as freshmen this fall wifi not
qualify for student deferments.
Dr. Curtis W. Tarr, Selective
Service director, said: “Few in¬
coming freshmen students are
likely to be inducted in the near
Here’s a timetable on benefits
from the Veterans Administration
for veterans, after their separa¬
tion from military service.
Gordon R. Elliott, director of
VA’s Southern California regional
office, said a veteran has 10 days
to notify any local Selective Serv¬
ice board of his address, and 30
days to register with Selective
Service if he did not do so before
entering military service.
If a veteran wants his old job
back, he has 90 days to apply to
his former employer for re-em¬
ployment.
He has 120 days to convert his
Servicemen’s Group Life Insur¬
ance (SGLI) to an individual
policy without examination. If
totally disabled at separation, a
veteran has up to one year, if his
condition does not change, to con¬
vert his insurance.
In either case, Elliott said, he
must apply for the policy to one
of the nearly 600 private compa¬
nies participating in the SGLI
program.

nected disability has one year

future because of the student de¬
ferment phaseout. Of the 1.034
million incoming freshmen males
estimated by the Office of Edu¬
cation, approximately 80 per cent
are 18 years old and only 20 per
cent are 19 years of age or older.
“The 18 year-olds will receive
their lottery numbers in 1972, and
they will not be subject to induc¬
tion until 1973, when draft calls
should be low. The 19 year-old
freshmen received their lottery
numbers August 5 of this year
and will be subject to induction
next year; at least one half should
have high enough lottery num¬
bers to preclude their induction.
Of those remaining, approxi¬
mately 50 per cent wifi be dis¬
qualified on mental, moral or
physical grounds.

erans Insurance.
He also has one year to apply
for VA dental care, or to request
unemployment comp ensation
from his local state employment
service.
Veterans have eight years from
June 1, 1966, or from date of sep¬
aration (whichever is later) to
apply for and receive educational
assistance benefits, which termi¬
nate after that time.
For a veteran with a service-
connected injury or disease, there
is no time limit for applying for
VA disability compensation, but
in order to receive payments
dated from the time of his sepa¬
ration from military service, he
must apply within one year of
separation.
There is no time limit for a
veteran to be assisted by his local
state employment service in find¬
ing a job or job training program.
Nor is there a time limit for
obtaining hospital care, or for
obtaining a GI loan to buy, build
or improve a home, or to buy a
farm.
For more details, veterans
should contact their local VA of¬
fice, or local veterans service or¬
ganization representatives.
To End;
Explained
“This means that a maximum
of 50,000 men will be directly
affected in 1972 by the student
deferment phaseout and one half
of these, or 25,000, wifi probably
not be inducted because of enlist¬
ments in regular, Reserve or Na¬
tional Guard units, participating
in commissioning programs or
because of procedural delays.”
Dr. Tarr said that college stu¬
dents wifi not be drafted in the
middle of a semester or term. “If
called while enrolled, they wifi be
allowed to postpone their induc¬
tion until the end of the semester
or term. If in their last academic
year, they will be able to postpone
their induction until after gradu¬
ation.”
There are approximately 6 mil¬
lion young men under age 35 with
deferments. Approximately
500,000 of these normally lose
their deferments during a 12-
month period. The largest groups
of deferred men are those who
have received fatherhood, occupa¬
tional, or student deferments.
