PCC Courier, September 30, 1970

PC C Coufti&t VOL. 33, NO. 2 PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA SEPTEMBER 30, 1970 Freshman Class Elections By MABY SULLIVAN and JEFF WICKLAND The Freshman Class will select its administration for the coming semester next week in an unusu¬ al, female-dominated race. Polls will be open to freshmen from nine a.m. to two p.m. on October eighth and ninth. After a late elimination of can¬ didates for various technical rea¬ sons, three contenders remain ; Irene Gracia, Monika Novak, and Cameron Smith. Miss Garcia says that, although it may sound corny, she wants to “get involved” with the freshman class. “Most people don’t really know what goes on upstair s,” she has commented, “and, like everyone else, I’d like to get in¬ volved with it. Included in her plans is an ex¬ pansion of the Freshman Class Council organization. She intends to use it to help students, and if possible, to help the community as well, making the council “more like a service club.” Miss Garcia graduated from El Monte High School in January of 1970. In El Monte, she served in the student House of Representa¬ tives. She has also served one se¬ mester on the PCC student senate and expresses an interest in the affairs of the Associated Student Body. Monika Novak has said that running for Freshman Class Pres¬ ident “. . .will give me an oppor¬ tunity to work with my class¬ mates. They give me their ideas and I give them mine, and we will relate with each other to make a better clas.” She wants to work with the Sophmore Class if she wins. Miss Novak has expressed a de¬ sire to give her time to help others. In return, she expects some type of response from her classmates — such as joining the Freshman Class Council. At St. Andrews High School, she took an interest in drama, art, French, and the yearbook. Like the others two candidates, Cameron Smith claims the stu¬ dents’ interest for his own. “I would like to try to help this school as much as possible,” he has said, “to get personally in¬ volved, and help to unify the scho¬ ol. . . .” Among his goals, are an answer to parking congestion, and a bet¬ ter organized Freshman Class ad¬ ministration that students will take more seriously. Smith says that he hopes to make PCC some¬ thing more than just coming to school here.” A psychology major, he served as a student representative before his graduation from Arcadia High. A late entrant in the race is Tom Gimbo, who says he is run¬ ning for the office, “Because I’ve been kind of inactive in this area and I want to get into things. I’d like to get the students into things, and make it an active year for everyone.” He intends to push clubs, and other activities for the students. Although new to student govern¬ ment, Gimbo was head photogra¬ pher for the Titan Shield, the stu¬ dent newspaper at San Marino High School. He has also done photography for the San Marino Tribune. An industrial engineering major, he is also shooting for a Master’s in Business Administra¬ tion. Unfortunately, no photo¬ graph of him was available at deadline. At press time Tom’s eligibility was still being checked by the Elections Commission. Ballots for this election will car¬ ry photographs of the candidates, according to elections commission- By JOE SMALAKIS For you devout “boob tube” watchers, there are two television courses being offered this semes¬ ter by Community College Tele¬ vision. The classes are Psychology 1A and Health Education. At last you can enjoy the easy life of relaxing while going to school. In fact, you could even have a beer in class or smoke your favorite blend. You latch onto one or two of the offered courses by seeing a counselor in 138C or 146C. Tell him you would like to enjoy the easier life of picking up credit while watching television. From your counselor you will receive an application blank and can choose among the offered time periods. The pre-registration fee is due by October 16. Upon successful completion of a course, a student may, upon re¬ quest .have the units applied ret¬ roactively to veteran or social se¬ curity enrollments. Units will be without special TV identification and will count as part of units at¬ tempted, units completed, and er Mike Karpiel, as a kind of ex¬ periment to attract student inter¬ est. Two polls will be set up; one in the mall near C building and one outside the campus center. As usual, ballots must be cast at the polling place, and students must present student identifica¬ tion cards to vote. If you still can’t decide which candidate to vote for, come and listen to the debate among Fresh¬ man Presidential candidates at noon on October 6, upstairs in the campus center. grade points earned. So if you are currently enrolled in Pasadena City College or could be, and you are a devotee of the “boob tube,” run and see a coun¬ selor now while this offer is for the taking. Aspect Magazine To Be Released It won’t be long now. That is it won’t be long until PCC stu¬ dents can get there first look at the campus magazine ASPECT. This year the magazine, which will feature articles on subjects close to the heart of every stu- ent, will come out on a monthly basis. The magazine will be available all over campus in any Courier distribution box. Featured in the October issue of ASPECT are articles written especially for the publication by Ronald Reagan and Jess Unruh on tuition, and a special story for motorcycle enthusiasts. , «SSS88 . . — - - IRENE GARCIA MONIKA NOVAK CAMERON SMITH . . . knows what goes on ... relates with each other . . . get personally involved College Offers TV Units to Students Gathering Provides Christian Fellowship Pasadena City College Students Receive High Honors at UCLA In one corner of an otherwise empty classroom, flooded with the pale gold of early morning aut¬ umn sunlight, a small group of students stood in a half circle. Slipping from the dimly lit cor¬ ridor, I hoisted my books to a steadier position and bowed my head with the rest. We alternated brief periods of silence and short, ASB Cards Give Special Benefits Student body cards play an im¬ portant role in student govern¬ ment, as ASB cards are used to fund student activities and special events. Use of the money includes the financing of homecoming, student body com¬ missions, and athletic awards. Uniforms and cheerleading equipment for the pep commis¬ sion, as well as payment for assemblies, is also covered by the student budget. According to Serrano, the sale of A.S.B. cards this year has been fairly successful. He said, “Compared to the past three years it‘s better." A student body card entitles its holder to free admission to all athletic events, a discount to student body assemblies, and a student insurance policy. A.S.B. cards can be purchased at the Student Bank (adjacent to the bookstore) from 9-4 daily. The cost is $10 for a full year or $6 for a single semester. eloquent remarks to One who was not seen, but whose presence was very much in evidence. I had come in response to an obviously Christian ad in the “Campus Crier” — “Need a friend? They’re down in 23C every morn¬ ing at the wretched hour of 7:30. All are welcome to share in the fellowship.” Investigation disclosed that this group, a part of Lancer Christian Fellowship, was founded last year and is led by Miss Leslie Fuller, Miss Chris Coleman and Ed Len- aburg. It’s intervarsity, with chap¬ ters meeting in several different schools. Leslie says, “While in the be¬ ginning, we were happy with as many as three people (Leslie, Chris and Ed) we hoped for addi¬ tions, because we wanted more people to realize the power of Jesus Christ, when we ask Him to guide our lives. And we’ve seen it grow!” An average of 20-25 people now come each morning. Here are the comments of some of the regular members. “When you know the Lord’s around the first thing in the morn¬ ing, you know He’ll be around all day.” “It’s a good way to get to know your Father.” “It’s beautiful to get together in a Christian environment, to share and grow together.” “A great way to start the day and keep you going.” You are invited to gather at 7:30 every morning in 23C. PCC President Dr. Armen Sara- fian has been notified by UCLA that former students of PCC won the following honors during the past year. Elected to Phi Beta Kappa dur¬ ing the spring of 1970 were Wan¬ da Hamilton Long, history major; Lawrence Riemer and Bessie Bai Wu, zoology majors.

The editor encourages re¬ action by the student body to articles and editorials published. Letters to the editor are a direct means of informing the student body and faculty of opinions concerning subjects and prob¬ lems on campus. Deadline for letters is Friday, and should be addressed to Editor, PCC Cour¬ ier, 37C. Lain graduated Summa Cum Laude, Jon Chrostowski graduat¬ ed Magna Cum Laude, and James Lesh, Cum Laude. Grace Hurt Wagner, music ma¬ jor, graduated from the College of Fine Arts Magna Cum Laude. Art majors Christy Pichel and George Rodart graduated Cum Laude, as did music major David Frederick. The Dean’s Honor List for the College of Fine Arts, which re¬ quires a grade point average of 3.5 or higher in 12 or more units, boasted the names of Michael Maloney, theater arts major; and Carolyn Ann Potter and Kyung- nim Yun Gim, art majors. Twenty-three former PCCers appeared on the Dean’s Honor List for the College of Letters and Science in the fields of psycholo¬ gy, English, foreign languages, history, sociology and political science. They are Sheila Day, Gary Hoffman, Joyce Kawahata, Pamela Miller, Wayne Phillips, Frances Rembaum, William Wein- gartner, Clio Emmerson, Jeffrey McKinney, Lyn Pfeiffer, Carla Shideler, Noreen Shiraki, Mary Allen Barbour, Paul Bartlett, Cyn- this Baker Bianchi, Wilma Quan, Diane Bragg, James Cogan, James Murphy, Clairice Veit, and Faye Watanabe. Several of the above were ap¬ pearing on the list for the second through sixth time. The special honor graduates were of course all on the list. Marsha Foster and Laurie Her¬ man represented PCC on the Dean’s Honor List in the School of Nursing . UC Santa Barbara showed 22 former PCC students earning de¬ grees. Of these the following earn¬ ed special honors. Francine Archer, anthropology; John Bohart, English; Georgette Cahill, chemistry; Lisa Goulden, sociology; David Imbler, mathe¬ matics; Patricia Martin, home eco¬ nomics; and Paul Tollefson, eco¬ nomics major, were all on the Dean’s Honor List. This is further proof that PCC graduates can hold their own any¬ where. Students Abuse Private Parking Van de Kamp’s restaurant on Colorado Boulevard has called and announced that any students using their parking lots illegally will be fined five dollars on the first offense. All following offenses will re¬ sult in the cars being towed away at the owner’s expense. This will cost $25. Van de Kamp’s has two park¬ ing lots; one just north of Fran- cisca Street by the eastern fa¬ culty parking lot, and another behind their restaurant. These are for the use of Van de Kamp’s patrons for limited parking only. The restaurant now has on file the license numbers of several students who have been parking in the lots illegaly. The manager wishes to extend the courtesy of warning before taking action a- gainst them.
