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,

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

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

man Presidential candidates at

selor now while this offer is for
the taking.

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.

Letters to the Editor
Beading the Courier informs
students of campus events, yet
just reading it is not the entire
purpose of the student publica¬
tion. 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.
