Cover Girl COVER GIRL Barbara Clay¬ ton, the 1968 Homecoming Queen, is a 5’9”; 17-year-old. Majoring in Dental Assisting at City College. She has been an “accelerated” student since the fourth grade and graduated from Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento at the end of her junior year. Miss Clayton was sponsored by the Black Student Organization. She is the second black student to capture the title of Home¬ coming Queen in the last five years. Shirley Stratton won the title in 1963. As Homecoming Queen, Miss Clayton received a crown, a silver bracelet, and the honor of reign¬ ing over the parade, game, and dance Oct. 18-20. BACK COVER - Student Cliff Lunetta combined his photographic efforts (4 smallest pix) with those of Sirlin Studios to produce a colorful layout of the 41st Annual Homecoming. 7,686 Students OnCampus Vets, Minorities Swell Numbers FRESH AIR — Some students Find the quad more comfortable than the smoke-filled cafeteria LINE-UP — Students stand patiently to get textbooks at the College Store. AGAIN? Again, Sacramento City College topped the estimated increased student enrollment in the fall semester by seven percentage points. Swarms of college freshmen and others inundated the build¬ ings and grounds for the first day of class¬ es September 10. Enrollment in day classes hit 7,686 and another 3,052 enrolled for extended-day courses. Harried instructors encountered increased numbers of veterans and more stu¬ dents from minority groups in the 13% enrollment increase this year over the fall semester 1967. Newly appointed instructors, number¬ ing 47, increased the faculty total to 288. The college instructors’, nerves strained under the increased student loads, had to deny entrance to their classes to countless late enrollees. Instructors Multiply Despite the confused situation — in which, for example, 32 instructors were forced to locate their faculty offices in four mobile trailers the future is crowded. Even when the new Los Rios college campus opens in 1970 at Consumnes River College on Mack Rd., probably only 1,500 students will be drained off the SCC cam¬ pus. However, hundreds more will certain¬ ly take their places at City College. The portent is that there will be no shor¬ tage of students here, for years to come — as eager collegiate minds fight for seats in the classrooms — and for the attention of their instructors. Another ominous note was sounded in November when the electorate turned down a $200 million measure for building construction for colleges and universities. The result will be restriction of freshmen student enrollment at the state colleges. The further consequence is that the re¬ jected students in this living area will swarm into the local junior colleges, in¬ cluding City College. Some administrators say that enroll¬ ment at City College next fall might even hit 9,000 full-time students instead of the 8,300 currently predicted. Registration Up 12.91% UNDER FIRE! The College Store, with no increase in floor space this year, has been jammed with “shoppers.” Keeping up with the demand for textbooks has been vexing, too. Another problem, taken under advisement by the Board of Trustees, is the students’ complaint that book prices are too high. TEMPORARY HANGOUT Until the new Student Center Building and Women’s Gym is completed next year, collegians here congregate in the Cafeteria between classes to exchange ideas and “watch the passing parade.” vat Faculty Now Totals 288 ' ■■V MOBILE FACULTY— Each of the mobile units, located on Freeport Blvd., houses eight faculty offices — a total of 32 offices, where instructors consult with students and prepare for their classes. A new classroom and office building is on the drawing boards, due for completion early in the ’70’s. HELP OFFERED — Many of the 14 counselors complain that students do not seek counseling, while the latter com¬ plain that the advisors are too busy to see them. Below, center, Mr. James Booker gives Cliff Beck the facts about transfer to the University campus at Santa Cruz.

Maybe too little emphasis has been given to the many ‘socially accepted” activities these groups engage in. When many whites see a large group of blacks or Mexican Americans their prejudice (or is it fear?) creates negative reactions. The positive feelings, necessary for good communication, are thwarted by their social ignorance. ie nd • w Uj $rc 4°p e tu r £ asT° ers rce t a gf c ts. be foref ( the L s b J S ojft of th, to 0 10 p .„ � p toe. , n? . ipiMs her e f J, ’ s « %� « «?

Apathy Results In Poor Campus Representation; Student Elections Become Popularity Contests INCREASINGLY each semester, disenchantment reigns in student gov¬ ernment on campus. Is it possible, critics ask, for student leaders elected by only a small percentage of registered students to serve as bona fide representatives in directing student affairs on campus? In this day, when minority students — Afro-American, Mexican-American, and other hyphenated groups - have become sensitive to injustices and articulate and demon¬ strative on the question, their voices are not always heard in quiet. Also among the majority of the student body, the gener¬ al lack of political awareness and interest is evident. Specifically, the complaint is frequently heard these days that the SCC student leaders constitute an in-grown, social clique voted into office on the basis of limited popu¬ larity, good looks, or for the enhancement of their record of extracurricular participation. At issue also is the fact that the moral and legal respon¬ sibility of the two faculty advisors often conflicts with the students’ rights to make mistakes - and learn from their mistakes. Of such is a dilemma. That the issue of effective government is the concern of higher echelons of administration is evidenced by the fact that both Supt. Walter Coultas and SCC President Oliver J. Durand have recognized publicly that in this day of student activism, the present system of student govern¬ ment is nothing more than window dressing. Political activism on this campus has been relatively mi¬ nor this semester, although some vociferous and interest¬ ing confrontations have occurred in past years involving both race and campus politics. The 1968 prodigious SCC enrollment, the complex con¬ temporary social issues, the latent desire of collegiate minds to be heard have combined, in the minds of many, to render the present system of student leadership obso¬ lete. For the idealistic wisdom calls for a try at developing something better. 11 WHY VOTE? Only three hundred student voters put this semester’s leaders into office.

As many of these committees deal directly with problems that affect students (such as curriculum, general edu¬ cation, and campus development) it is essential that all segments of the campus be represented. City College is one of the few campuses in the nation which encourages student representation in all areas of organization from faculty meetings to film series planning. This display of the president’s faith in student responsibility is not to be taken lightly. Who are the students that represent the almost 11,000 total student enrollment of City College? How are they chosen and by whom? Do they actually help keep communication channels open? The student representatives are largely members of the Executive Council (similar to a student council in high school.) They are chosen by the Student Association president from the rolls of his council (everyone is expected to serve on at least one committee) and the hangers-on, who, because of a grade point deficiency or other flaw did not qualify for the executive appointments. Most facultv-student committees (about 15 in number) re¬ quire fro ' l vee student members.

REJECTION-Student voters in December rejected a proposed revision of the constitution of City College Associated Students. The final tally was for 133- against, 356. (A two-thirds vote was required for adoption.) Following a spirited campaign, the opponents of a proposed change of student representation on the Executive Council was defeated by over two hundred votes. Above, the Exec. Council ends long hours of debate and work on the revised constitution. (Photo by Louie Campos) Activists Lead In Rush To Election Polls Sacramento City College is turning into a “Little Berkeley” and administrators, teachers, clerical workers and Young Re¬ publicans are afraid to walk across the Quad after dusk. Almost overnight, City College has turned the cafeteria in to a political arena, the Re¬ ception Room into a self-discovery room, and the classrooms into dens of academic freedom. Who can City College thank for this freedom? The Activists Student So¬ ciety , of course. Last semester, the Activists (this organization doesn’t use initials) organized the turn-out of students at the well-publicized park¬ ing hearing. This was a very impressive Late Report AS THE “PIONEER” goes to press, the re¬ sults of the SA elections for spring semester officers are unknown. Results will be circu¬ lated on Monday, Jan. 13, following the election Jan. 10. A campus political convention held in turn-out to all but the most radical anti-parkers.” The three students who were there aired their views and really told it “like it is. ” A restless group, the Activists then dili¬ gently persevered until even more ground was broken! The activists demanded that students be placed on Faculty Committees; it was a long, hard-fought struggle, but finally the Activists won. There is still a sign-up list in the Student Activities Office and it is rumored that Toppenberg still has nightmares about trying to get the Com¬ mittees filled. Whenever convocations are scheduled, the auditorium is always packed thanks to the Activists. Teachers and janitors always December was an encouraging attempt to dispel student apathy. The convention, organized by an ad-hoc committee com¬ posed of members of Alpha Gamma Sigma, Coordinating Committee for Student In¬ volvement, Black Student Union, and the Executive Council, was formed to choose a candidate for Student Association president. appreciate the opportunity to let someone else do the talking and the working. Finally the pinnacle of the Activists came last in December when they an¬ nounced plans to run a candidate for the office of Student Association President. Their only problem? They couldn’t find anyone who “wanted to get involved.” And so it is. . even the County Health Department will tell you that the only thing running rampant at City College is apathy. Yes, City College students really know how to get involved. Almost 500 students at a campus with over 7,000 enrollment turned out to vote in this, the most recent (constitutional revision) election. -Kathy Hunter In addition, petitions for 12 student offices to be filled in the semester election were available to all students. Campaigning for all the SA offices was conducted for two weeks from Dec. 16-20 and from Jan. 6 to 10. The campaign rally in the Auditorium was held on Jan. 9.

They ended the current campaign with a 7-2 overall win record and a winning 3-2 in league play. Two strong elevens, Fresno and COS, slaughtered Coach Pierucci’s boys by scores of 57-25 and 61-13. On the positive side. City Col¬ lege beat Delta College, 13-3, in the Homecoming game; Mo¬ desto College, 48-6; and Ameri¬ can River, 7-6, in the season’s finale. In pre-season, the Panthers won four consecutive games. In the final Valley Conference standings, the Panther team fin¬ ished third.

The following weekend the Panther harriers, after gaining a berth in the State Finals in San Diego, finished seventh among the top ten cross country teams. Coach Jim Sackett has completed his fourth campaign as cross country mentor. Elected by his teammates, this year’s team cap¬ tain was Isais Calderon. “RUNNERS, TO YOUR MARK!”--The start of a torturous four- mile run against San Joaquin Delta ended in a 15-50 clean sweep for the SCC harriers. TIM COPP ranks ninth on the squad. LARRY “FLASH” MORTON, No. 6 man in team rank. WAYNE DOUD is fourth man on the team.

(Photo by Louie Campos) V Experiment In ‘Living’ Psychology Students Conduct Sessions THE PSYCHOLOGY CLUB conducted several sensory-awareness experiences recently in an attempt to develop awareness in themselves, in others, and in their environment. The sensory exercises were directed by Psychol¬ ogy Club president, Chuck Sterin, assisted by Bob Cropper. Twenty students participated. These exercises are based upon Bernard Gunther’s theories on sensory experiences. Leader Explains u We are basically victims of sight generaliza¬ tion,” said Sterin. “We are almost totally ignor¬ ant of our other senses. We are usually not con¬ cerned with how something feels, smells, tastes or sounds, only with how it looks.” Author Gunther believes that sensitivity train¬ ing is a way to become a total person. He main¬ tains that sensory awareness is an escape from rigid rules, feelings, thoughts, and inhibitions. Sterin, who has been specially trained as a leader, guides the group into a state of extreme relaxation by means of intonation, music, and stiffening-relaxing exercises. After the group reaches a euphoric state, the exercises begin. How It ' s Done The leader induces sensations through exer- cises:tapping, slapping, stretching, and lifting. Students and adults who participate close their eyes so that their other senses will be heightened. Besides individual experiences, some are per¬ formed in pairs, stressing feeling and communica¬ tion between the couple, while group games strive to create a “bond of unseparateness.” “Leading individuals to a greater self-aware¬ ness through these methods is very rewarding,” says Sterin. “It’s my way of helping people throw off, even for a little while, the hangups that society has forced them to develop.” GROUP LIFT — Kathy Asta experiences a sense of weightlessness and group close¬ ness.

BURSTING AT THE SEAMS — The clogged stadium parking lot is a familiar sight to many students. Only 1,680 parking spaces available; 900 more parking spaces are needed. PROBLEMS! PROBLEMS — A student parker seeks help from campus policeman Clem Ruff, when faced with the dilemma of getting to class on time. Parking: Perennial Problem THE PARKING SITUATION has posed a prob¬ lem for several years. The high enrollment this year has increased the parking problem significantly. Hunting For Space Many students have discovered sadly that they must come to class early in order to obtain a park¬ ing space in the stadium lot. When the lot has filled, the students are finding it necessary to park in nearby William Land Park or in the residential district surrounding the campus, much to the con¬ sternation of the homeowners. Presently, there are 2.73 students per park- ing space. Since only 5% of the students use the Transit Authority buses, 900 more park¬ ing spaces are needed. What can be done? Suggested solutions by the Board of Trustees to the parking problem include a permit-patrol sys¬ tem and a coin or key-operated automatic gate system. 41 In the permit-patrol system, permits are issued to all students which would be displayed in their vehicles. Parking facilities would be patrolled con¬ tinuously and penalties levied to violators. A coin or keyed-card system entails an automat¬ ic gate situated at the parking entrances. Enforce¬ ment would be required only for security reasons. The revenue from these two systems would pro¬ vide the money to build a multi-level stadium ga¬ rage costing about $2 million. Supt. Walter Coultas has recommended that parking areas south of the campus be leased from property owners. Relief from parking pressures is expected with the opening of Comsumnes River College in 1970. Faced with complaints from both the stu¬ dents, the City authorities, and the residents living around the campus, the Board of Trustees is under pressure for an early deci¬ sion to the problem. SAM VARTANIAN Catcher 1953 Panthers State Champs XI coo s DRAFTING AND DESIGN — Engineering and architectural tech¬ nology students spend long hours at the tables before being launched into the practical world of making life more luxurious and convenient.

Some 8500 full-time students will flood the cam¬ pus this fall, 600 more than last fall. They will be gathering in the Student Center between classes for relaxation and for meetings of their organizations — instead of massing in confusion in the Cafeteria as they have done this year. Needless to say, concerning the new women’s gym, returning coeds and their physical education instructors are grateful for the prospect of shelter for their 1969-70 P. E. classes. Face-lifting Begins At City College District Allocates $9.5 Million For Expansion By Kathy Hunter MOTIVATED by the idea that surroundings affect students and their intellectual processes, the Los Rios Junior College District will be spending approxi¬ mately $9.5 million dollars over the next three-year period to transform City College into one of the outstanding campuses in Northern California. Once completed, the Student Center-Women’s Gym Complex, the Theatre Arts Building, the Busi¬ ness Education Classroom Learning Center, and the Graphic Arts-Cosmetology Extension Building will combine to make City College less crowded and more inviting for student participation. In keeping with the tradition of the older buildings on campus, natural materials will be utilized to promote coordination between the older and modern buildings. Centered around wood, brick, concrete, and glass, the new buildings will also continue the tradition of red tile roofs. The entire building plan will culminate in the late 1970’s when the final touches will be put to an entirely new administration building. Declared unsafe because of failure to comply with specifications in the Field Act dealing with earthquakes, the present administration building will be torn down in 1972 and rebuilt to coordinate in design with the recently added buildings on campus. BOLD COLOR SCHEMES, a relaxing decor, and an intimate atmosphere will combine to make the new Student Center the focal point of the campus. Although the building is two stories high, only the second half of the building will have an upstairs. A balcony on the second story will overlook the front half of the building, giving the Student Center a feeling of heighth and beauty. The Student Center will include study areas and tables, a large lobby-reception room combination, cloakroom, display cases, a kitchenette for serving purposes, and various offices for staff and storage of Student Association machines and materials along with the central telephone switchboard. Shower facilities adjacent to the gymnasium, and storage space to be used by the women’s physical education department will be included in the back half of the first floor. Facilities for the women’s physical education department on the second floor include five physical education instructors’ offices, a reception room, a corrective physical education classroom, a dance classroom, and a small serving area, plus a general classroom. THE THREE-BUILDING COMPLEX shown here includes the Student Center Building and the Women ' s Gym , both scheduled for opening this fall, and (right) the Business Education Learning Center which will open in the Modern Facilities In Learning Center Plans Include Business Classrooms, Laboratories THE CLASSROOM LEARNING CENTER BUILD¬ ING — it will be renamed by students later — will replace the razed home economics building with a modern two-story structure. Also designed to promote artistic coordination between the new and the older buildings on campus, the building will be constructed with concrete, tile, glass, beams and natural woods. This building will include modern teaching aids and equipment. The main floor of the building will house an audio-visual classroom and lab with seating capa¬ city for 120 students. Also contained on the first floor will be a central planning board to control the labs, two recording booths, a television production studio, a make-up room adjoining the television studio, a faculty reserve area, a computer-technology complex and various other offices for faculty and campus staff. Secretarial and business courses classrooms will be located on the second story of the building. The building is flexible enough so that if more classrooms are needed, existing rooms can be partitioned off to make more classrooms. Unique in the secretarial laboratories located on the second floor will be “in-furniture” outlets for electricity. Until recently, outlets for typewriter and business machines were placed under desks. Not only were the “tombstone” outlets unsightly, but they were also hazardous. Instead of using individual desks, students will have long tables with appendage tables for typewriters or business machines. In doing so, the need for individual “tombstones” will be eliminated; students will be able to “turn on” with outlets located in the tables themselves. TO HELP ALLEVIATE crowded conditions at City College , the Classroom-Learning Center will open in the spring of 1970. Including the most modern teaching aids and equipment available, the new building will also provide much needed classroom space. XML BEAUTIFYING BOTH PATRONS and the campus, the Graphic Arts-Cosmetology Extension Building, now under construction, will open in the fall of 1970. Two Student Facilities Available in 1970 MOTORISTS TOURING Freeport Boulevard will be able to view the Graphic Arts-Cosmetology Extension building by the summer of 1970, although actual occupancy will probably not take place until that September. The extension will be a self-contained unit in that there will be room for both the art and printing aspects of the course. With the extension, 24 student stations will be added ; a darkroom with modern equipment will also add to the importance of the program. While the present cosmetology building will receive a thorough remodeling, a “senior laboratory” consist¬ ing of 44 “student stations” will complete the new cosmetology extension complex. Also included in the new extension of the building are a new reception room, a student locker room, a central supply area and faculty offices. THE THEATRE ARTS BUILDING, with seating for 250 people, will be one of the most exciting and versatile buildings on campus. Designed primarily as an instructional facility, the Theatre will also serve as a community services area and as a performing theatre. Players will be able to utilize the stage in three main ways through the use of built-in traps in the floor. A larger and more modern make-up room, a “green” room where players will remain until given their cues to go on stage, and a scene shop will complete plans for the Theatre. The court area planned around the theatre will also be a new concept on campus. The mounded area outside of the theatre will serve as an outside waiting lobby for the theatre, as well as an area available for outdoor art shows and an outside teaching station. THE THEATRE ARTS BUILDING, also slated to open in the fall of 1970, will function as both a community service area and as a performing theatre. The site is being prepared this spring with the demolition of the old men ' s faculty shack. In The News CONVOCATION — The Black Student Union called a special assembly early this spring of the SCC students in the Auditorium to present their “demands.” Although most of the requests of the BSU were accepted by the College Administration, one became a point of contention — whether the campus club should be given office space to conduct its affairs.

Minorities MINORITY STUDIES — Instructor Mr. James Fisher, right, examines tapes in the Audio-Visual library in preparation for the implementation of the Black Studies program in the fall semester. Literature, art, and history will be some of the areas included if a sufficient number of students enroll in the courses. ONE OF THE EIGHT de¬ mands presented to the Los Rios JC District Board of Trustees by the Third World Liberation Front won a quali¬ fied endorsement from the Board at their May 14 meet¬ ing. The demand that was ap¬ proved will allow for space next fall at SCC to house a counseling-tutoring center manned by students from min¬ ority groups. Superintendent Walter Coultas commented on four other demands presented by TWLF. An ethnic studies pro¬ gram will go into effect in September; control of the pro¬ gram will remain in the “hands of the faculty, administration, and the board of trustees.” Another demand asked for student control over on-camp¬ us employment and increased financial aids on the basis of economic needs only; Coultas revealed that these programs “must remain in the hands of school authorities” because federal regulations require control to be left with school THIRD WORLD LIBERATION FRONT — Students for Constructive Action Now, a new militant group, sponsored a campus rally in March and presented a list of eight “demands” for the improvement of the lot of minority students on campus — the blacks, Asians , and Chicanos. The proposals called for radical changes in existing programs in curricula , employment and recruitment of more students and instructors from minority groups. MAYA Students Active Here BETWEEN SEMESTERS - Members of the Mexican-American Youth Ass } n. aid¬ ed striking farm laborers by transporting food to the workers in Delano late in January. Using funds from the MAYA treasury, the students purchased food from a supermarket which has refused to sell California table grapes during the current vineyard strike, in its fourth year. 5 Judy Thompson Mini-Skirt Winne Makes Headlines MOMENT OF TRUTH - The results of the campus-wide mini-skirt contest, sponsored by Cir¬ cle K Club, attracted national interest when a photograph of the winner, “Cookie,” was trans¬ mitted on the Associated Press wire to its member newspapers.

He arrived at a figure of IV 2 inches, which is the differ¬ ence between 19 6” (from the waist to the top of the knee) and 12” (from the top of the knee to the bottom of the hem). Student Leaders Get Involved EXECUTIVE COUNCIL — Twenty-five students serve on this body, representing the students in campus activities. They administer a budget of $90,975 per year. Thirteen students hold elec¬ tive office, including freshmen and sophomore class officers; the remainder serve as directors of such special activities as student publications and elections. Unusual on the SCC campus is the practice of having student representation from this group on the faculty senate and administra¬ tion committees, to help in the resolution of campus-wide problems. Also unusual is the fact that City College students may vote in campus elections without purchasing Student Associa¬ tion cards. JEFF P. GILLY, Student Association President for the spring semester, is majoring in business administration. He plans to specialize in market¬ ing and work for a master ' s degree. Apprentice Politicians Drill Colleagues Aimless Discussions Retard Progress On Campus IN DEALING with issues ranging from birth control to the use of the Student Association ditto machine, the two main student bodies governing SCC, the Executive Council and the Inter-Club Council, have spent the major portion of this semester haggling and arguing, quietly asking for one another’s resignations, and quoting from Robert’s Rules of Order. As the Pioneer Mazazine went to press, Executive Council was discussing whether or not to cut off funds to the student newspaper; what should be done about a student approved book store plan; and how scholarships, funds, and loans should be allocated. However, many other important issues have been resolved. For instance, it took the Executive Council only two weeks to decide to join with American River College in sharing expenses for the 1969 Christmas Ball. The Spring Formal was changed to a semi-formal event in the record time of one week; a great undertaking for the Executive Council. Inter-Club Council President Doug Bitle, a young man who vowed to “fight to stay up (in the Presidency) although I may stumble along the way,” has been one of SCC’s busiest politicans this semester. During this semester’s Area 8 Conference, Bitle sponsored a bill recommending that birth control information and devices be available to anyone on campus who seeks them out. A DIFFERENT KIND OF FLAG BURNING . “A Support America” rally was climaxed as the Viet Cong flag was set afire. Although often unable to control the hostilities that broke open during ICC meetings, Bitle also authored a resolution “ . . . urging ... a rapid and final end to the hostilities in Viet Nam even if that ■ should mean immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops.” When questions arose as to who should be permit¬ ted to use and operate the Student Association ditto machine, Bitle again came to the rescue with a motion: “I move that every sheet of paper run off in the Student Association ditto machine bear the signature of the sponsor.” Jeff Gilly, who as Student Association President, felt that his responsibility to the Council should be one of a neutral arbitrator, has learned in the final weeks of the semester that politicians should be dealt with on their own level. To most of the students who have either taken part in student government this semester or who have observed the organized parlimentary confusion that has taken place Mondays and Tuesdays at 12 noon in SC-4, this semester has been a lesson in futility. Student government is at a crossroads; it can decide either to return to the pom-pon campaign promises of more dances and litterbug patrols, or it can turn into a useful and meaningful tool for students to coordinate their efforts to improve campus conditions for everyone. —By Kathy Hunter Jeff Gilly Student Association President “ . . . neutral arbitrator . . .” Doug Bitle Inter-Club Council President “ . . . busiest politician . . . ” 9 BUSINESS AS USUAL.

Big mouths, small mouths, loud mouths, quiet mouths! Who looks down all these mouths? What unnoted person consoles the frightened, attacks the paper work, assists in “the chair” and in the laboratory? Who? The dental assistant. Today’s rising demand for dental services has opened a wide career for dental assistants. SCC helps meet these demands by offering an occupational program in dental assisting. At the end of this two-year program, a SCC graduate is eligible to take the national examination to become a Certified Dental Assistant. Dental assisting classes are taught in two class¬ rooms by three instructors — June Farrell, Jerrie Silvers, and Evelyn Armstead, Director of Dental Assisting. “A-OK” — Dr. Maurice Rollins per¬ forms a post-prophylaxis examina¬ tion on Patti June Nehr.

After two academic years and two six-week summer sessions, the student nurse is eligible to take the California State Licensing Exami¬ nation to become a registered nurse. Members of the fourth semester class are now preparing for the exam. The two-day test in San Francisco, beginning July 1, is compre¬ hensive and intensive. The results are known after eight weeks and the graduate is then qualified for employ¬ ment as a first-level staff nurse in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and related health agencies. City College graduates are found in innum¬ erable medical institutions throughout Cali¬ fornia and the United States.

Campus TWO “PIONEER” PHOTOGRAPHERS, Mark Sorenson and Don Marcroft, were handed a most dangerous and exciting assignment at the beginning of the spring semester. They were instructed to choose and photo¬ graph three campus coeds who best repre¬ sented their idea of the “ideal City College coed.” As the relentless, whip-cracking editor handed out assignments, loud groans and cries of “injustice” were heard from other males on the staff who wanted the assignment. But being faithful and diligent photograph¬ ers, they set out on their adventurous assign¬ ment. It was reported that their assignment had become so “involved” and “strenuous” that both photographers had decided to “ex¬ tend” their assignment. After turning in their assignment, Sorenson and Marcroft left; the last time they were seen they were ambling around the campus, cameras loaded, and coeds posing.

I Comedy of Manners How To Be Socially Correct IN 1884 The Encyclopedia of Business and Social Forms was published by the National Publishing Company. “Embracing the laws of etiquette and good society,” the book contained helpful hints on how to dress well and tastefully, rules for courtship and marriage, how to express written thought in a correct and elegant manner. The author, James D. McCabe, deemed the work “a complete and comprehensive book of reference expressedly designed to meet the everyday wants of the American people.” Times have changed; the Pioneer Magazine is the first to admit, recognize and adjust to that fact. We would therefore, like to show the reader just how much times have changed with a few “for instances.” Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. “DRESSES SHOULD al¬ ways be suited to the occasion upon which they are to be worn. On the street, a walking cos¬ tume should be worn, and the dress should clear the ground. The shoes for the street should be high, warm and easy to the feet with a low, broad heel. ” “WHEN WALKING on the street, do not permit yourself to be so absent- minded as to fail to rec¬ ognize your friends. Walk erect and with dignity, and do not go along read¬ ing a book or a news¬ paper. ” “DO NOT SHOUT to your acquaintances from the opposite side of the street. Bow, or wave your hand, or make any courteous motion; but do it quietly and with dignity .” “IN MAKING a formal call, a gentle¬ man should not sit with his legs crossed. ” FLY-BOYS - “Will it really land now?” “THEN HE SAID” — Female discussion pervades in almost every corner of the campus. 40 This Is Where It’s At!

Joe established a new two-year scoring mark, and earned a post on the third team of the 1969 All-California JC Basketball selections. THE PANTHER cagers went into the final game of the season against Delta College with the identical number of wins and losses. Then the Panthers walloped the defending champion Mustangs 78-71, finishing with a winning season, a 15-14 overall record. The round ball team had more than its fair share of bad luck during league action, however, when the spirited squad lost three league games by a single point. The scores were ARC 80-79, COS 69-68, and Modesto 64-63. Had the Panthers won these three games, they would have finished third, instead of fifth. Joe Kemp, outstanding Panther guard, not only made the All-Conference selection for the second year in a row, but took the Valley Conference scoring title with a 23.3 average. He had a 23.9 seasonal average. Kemp also holds the two-year SCC scoring mark with 1,145 points. On the second All-Conference team was Tommie Smith. Team captains were Joe Kemp and Tommie Smith. 43 JUMP BALL!

Pierucci recently resigned the post to devote more time to the position, director of athletics and as coach of the golf team. Herbert served under Pierucci as a defensive line coach for four seasons. He graduated from the University of the Pacific, majoring in physical education and business. In his college days he was captain of the 1953 U.O.P. football squad and was voted the outstanding defensive player in 1952 and won the Most Loyal Player award in 1953. After serving his two-year term in the army, he played briefly for the Green Bay Packers of the NFL in 1956, before an injury shortened his professional career. He coached both football and wrestling at Edison High School in Stockton for three years before coming to SCC. Athletic Director Retains One Post DICK PIERUCCI, head football coach at City College since 1961, has resigned. He will stay on the staff at SCC as chairman of the Division of Physical Education and Health and will continue as Director of Athletics. In a statement to reporters, Mr. Pierucci gave his feelings about the matter stating, “There comes a time when a man must decide where he is heading. I feel that a man should do the best possible at his particular job.” During his period as head football coach at City College, Mr. Pierucci had an outstanding record including two conference championships. He has never lost a bowl game during his career. His record in the Valley Conference competition was 26 wins, 11 losses, and 1 tie. Coach Dick Pierucci MANICURE JOB — Hughes Stadium , property of the City School System, has been receiving careful attention this spring from the graders, in preparation for a new football campaign next fall.

Track and Field Hines Leads Cindermen To Best Record Since 1954 In Individual Performances VERSATILE — Lloyd Hines has national ranking in the long and triple jumps, but he also performs outstandingly in other events such as the 100-yd. and 220-yd. dashes , hurdles , and in the relays as anchor man. Hines flew out 26-2% in the long jump in the Fresno Relays to break the all-time national best of 26-1% set by Ernie Shelby of L.A. Pierce 13 years ago. THE PANTHER TRACKMEN finish¬ ed second in the 1969 Valley Confer¬ ence competition. The thinclads had a 4-1 record after defeating the tough American River squad in the final event, 71-65. In the Nor-Cal relays SCC made a respectable third-place finish behind winning Fresno City College and sec¬ ond-place Merritt College. City College was led by co-captain, Lloyd Hines, an export from Vanden High School, who specializes in the long and triple jumps. In the long jump he has the JC national best so far this year — a 25’ 1014” long jump and a 49’ll 1 2” triple jump to his credit. Also versatile, the other co-captain, Mike Bates, scored points in the high jump, hurdles, sprints, and relays. In the last two years in the Nor. Calif. Relays the Jim Sackettmen placed first last year and third in this year’s competition among thirty-eight Junior College Teams — a commend¬ able record. 51 BANG — Lloyd Hines pulls away from the field in the 100-yard dash.
