one cent each with all proceeds
going to the Freshman Class.
On Thursday, there will be a
mandatory assembly for all basic
communication students. Dr. Ar¬
men Sarafian, PCC president, will

Thompson, ASB president, and

New Activity Cards Provide
Finances for Budget, Blazers
One of the biggest changes in
ASB traditions this year is the
replacement of the bulky ASB
book by the new multi-purpose
activity card. The book of the
past included stubs for all plan¬
ned events during the semester,
and was not convenient to carry.
The new activity card and ac¬
companying insurance card can
easily be fitted into a wallet with
the student’s other identification.
ASB leaders are pleased at the
way the cards are selling. More
cards had been sold before the
start of the semester than had
been anticipated. ASB President
Dennis Thompson and Finance
Commissioner Dusty Holmes hope
to push the sales further by stress¬
ing the many benefits available
to ASB members such as free ad¬
mittance to all PCC football
games, free admittance to assem¬
blies, which will feature entertain¬
ers such as Tim Morgon, and a
comprehensive accident insur¬
ance policy.
The tentative ASB budget calls
for the expenditure of $78,621.25.
The total may be changed as this
semester’s board members scru¬
tinize the figures arrived at by
last semester’s board.
One financial item already act¬
ed on is the blazer expenditure.
At a special board meeting last
Wednesday morning, approval
was given to the Men’s Physical
Education Department to use part
of the $1715 alotted to blazers
in the tentative budget. Fifty-
eight blazers will be purchased,
half by the ASB and half by the
individual athletes. Thus the trav¬
eling football, cross country, and
water polo teams will, hopefully,
have the blazers before the season
is half over.
dent body cards, Thursday, Sept.
30. By popular demand, folk sing¬
er Tim Morgon will be back to
entertain. The assembly will be
held in Sexson Auditorium at
noon. Student body cards are re¬
quired for admission.
Frosh elections will be held
Thursday afternoon and all day
Friday. Voting booths will be
placed at various places through¬
out the campus.
Tuesday Forums
in October Debut
The Tuesday Evening Forums,
which provide outstanding speak¬
ers and discussion leaders on such
topics as psychology, child guid¬
ance, parent education, human re¬
lations, and group leadership, will
begin in October on the Pasadena
City College campus.
Tuesday forums are part of the
continuing education program of
the Educational Services Division
of PCC. Other specialized fields,
as well as national and world af¬
fairs, may be represented in these
programs and made available to
the public as interests and needs
arise.
The Educational Services Divi¬
sion cooperates, on request, with
community and neighborhood
groups in planning and providing
these opportunities.
The forum was started in 1937
by David Reidy and has been run
by Dr. Ralph J. Hallman for the
last nine years.

ter Arts Association are now be¬
