Five Compete for Freshman Queen Title PCC CoiPU&v VOL. 21, NO. 2 PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA SEPTEMBER 23, 1964 PCC Bank Urges Students to Buy Activities Books The Pasadena City College Bank is continuing its sale this week of ASB activity books and rooters’ bus tickets to San Mateo. The ASB books are selling for $12 for the entire school year or $7 per semester. An installment payment plan may also be ar¬ ranged at the College Bank. THE activity book entitles its owner to admittance to all ath¬ letic events, assemblies, dances (at a reduced rate), and plays. Voting privileges and the college yearbook are also included in the $12 fee. A $1000 insurance policy is an added feature of the pur¬ chase. There were 1652 ASB books sold through September 17, a lit¬ tle under last year’s total at this time. The high cost of classroom textbooks is believed to be the major reason that many students have not purchased the activity books. A pickup in sales is ex¬ pected later in the semester. TICKETS for Saturday’s root¬ ers’ bus trip to San Mateo will be sold through tomorrow for a $10 round trip fee. All rooters are encouraged to make the trip for the PCC-San Mateo football season opener. The entire pep squad will also make the journey in another bus. The Lancer Band, the cheerleaders, song girls, and flag girls will all perform at the game. The buses will leave the Hill Avenue parking lot at 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning, arriving in San Mateo about 3 p.m. The early arrival time will allow pas¬ sengers several hours to relax and eat before the 8 p.m. game time. The buses will begin their return trip about midnight, reach¬ ing Pasadena early Sunday morn¬ ing. The Pep Commission is also planning to sell rooters’ bus tick¬ ets next month to the PCC-Phoe- nix College game to be played in the Arizona capital city.
