School Board voted unanimously

to the city. The plan calls for un¬

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.”

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."

He feels that such a 'program
would unite each class, thus unit¬

TOM LEOTTI, who hails from
Rosemead High, would like to
sponsor a major dance this semes¬
ter, an activity in which the Fresh¬
man Class has never before parti¬
cipated. He wants more specific
activties for the class as a whole.
Ed Gomez, from Dinuba High
near Fresno, also wishes to build
up class spirit by instigating class
competition.
