Vol. 21, No. 3 Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California September 30, 1964 limits around the campus. At last week’s meeting, the School Board voted unanimously to support the ASB in its appeal to the city. The plan calls for un¬ restricted parking until 11 a.m. in the one- and two-hour zones. Curriculum Study Set for Tuesday The Student Curriculum Com¬ mittee will hold its first meeting of the school year next Tuesday at 12 noon in 102C. The committee is composed of PCC students, one representing each of the sixteen departments. The Lancers are selected on the basis of scholastic achievements, interest in the development of the PCC instructional program, and leadership skills. The purpose of the committee will be to secure ideas concerning changes in curriculum and curri¬ culum policy from students and the departmental chairmen. These suggestions are discussed by the SCC and passed on to the PCC administration and the Faculty Association. Conversly, curricu¬ lum changes contemplated by the administration and faculty are brought before the SCC to obtain student reaction. The SCC has been commended by various authorities. In its 1961 report to the Western College As¬ sociation, the visiting accredita¬ tion committee to PCC reported the following: “Pasadena City College has a notable plan for cooperative development of its curriculum. The total process is centered in the office of the dean of instruction, but the involve¬ ment of many people in the plan¬ ning is a notable feature ... An especially commendable feature of the total plan is the active par¬ ticipation of the Student Curricu¬ lum Committee . . . There was an opportunity to observe this en¬ thusiastic group in session, and it is apparent that there are many valuable outcomes from such a committee.” FINAL INSTRUCTIONS— Elections Commissioner Brian Black (seated) gives freshman presidential candidates publicity rules.

Ed Gomez, Tom Le- Salinger Defends Editorial Freedom for College Papers Senator Pierre Salinger told Courier reporters last week that “College newspapers should be allowed to freely express their opinions on editorial pages.” Courier representatives Dick Trubo and Brian Wardlaw break¬ fasted with Senator Salinger last Saturday at a Los Angeles restau¬ rant prior to a political rally for the California senator. Reporters from UCLA and Cal State LA joined the PCC correspondents in the early-morning exclusive conference. SALINGER, who was editor of college newspapers at San Fran¬ cisco State and the University of San Francisco, related that he has "great sympathy for the need for editorial freedom in campus news¬ papers. A free editorial policy is in the best interest of both the students and the college. It’s the kind of education we’re seeking in California.” Salinger added, “If a college newspaper does write an anti- Goldwater editorial, it should naturally afford opposing view¬ points to be heard in later issues.” “I CAN’T understand the policy of many administrations who put unnecessary pressures upon the college newspaper. I think that if you’re going to have a publica¬ tion burdened by pressures sug¬ gesting what you can and what you cannot write, you might as well do away with the paper al¬ together.” Salinger also expounded on his opposition to the lottery amend¬ ment on the November ballot. “A lottery, whether it is state-control¬ led or not, is probably the worst way to raise money for public education. It is actually a ‘tax’ on the people who can least afford it. It is the lower or middle-class¬ ed citizen who dreams of ‘getting rich quick’ who buys a ticket, not the millionaire.” When he was questioned by Courier reporters about Commu¬ nist speakers on tax-supported college campuses, Salinger em¬ phasized his feelings that all opinions should be heard. "Col¬ leges should be open to all speak¬ ers,” he said, “from the John Birch Society to the Communist Party." SEN. PIERRE SALINGER . . . confers with Courier otti, and Brian McDonald will be seeking votes from their fellow classmen in the two-day election. Four balloting booths will be open for the students’ conven¬ ience from 12 noon to 3 p.m. to¬ morrow and from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Friday. The voting booths will be located in front of Sexson Auditorium, near the music build¬ ing, by the technology building, and in front of the Campus Cen¬ ter. Freshmen students will be required to present their ASB activity books before voting.

The admission price has been set at $1 per per¬ son. The Newman Club has also planned several other activities this year, including the sponsor¬ ship of discussion groups at the Newman Center at 101 South Hill Avenue. These groups thoughtful¬ ly consider problems in religion, the relevance of religion and daily life, and study the activities and functions of the Ecumenical Council. Students interested In partici¬ pating in these discussions should contact Father Barryman at the center or the Newman Club’s fac¬ ulty advisers, Margaret O’Donnell, Fred Hammond, and Orlie Laing. Although the Newman Club is primarily designed for Catholic students attending PCC, any stu¬ dent who is interested in the ac¬ tivities may participate. the Freshman Class and then de¬ velop rivalry between the classes.
