DINMS THOMPSON Fall ASB Prcsidtni STIPHIN SCOIT Sprint; ASB President ASB Presidents Strive for More Student Interest in Government I ' .ill Associated Student Hodx President IXnnis riionipson sought a new look in cani])us acti itics and student government through the involvement of more students. Participation in state-wide dis- cussion groups netted new ap])roachcs to student govcrunient problems. A semester-long debate over the role of students was conducted and its effects should pro ide guidelines for the future. I Icavy stress was placed on the rigiits of all students and the administration saw to it that these rights were made known. Manv succes.scs were achieved during the se- mester, not the least of which was a better relation- ship between the . SB and the college adnnnistra- tion. Ilie traditional . SB book was changed for the first time to the more practical card. The gains made bv Thompson arc sure to smooth the road for future student bod presidents at Pasadena City Collcee. Spring ASB President Stephen Scott made it his project to create more efficiency in student go - ernment. Scott continued many of the policies of his predecessor. These included an attempt to in- volve students in each phase of campus life, espc- ciallv in active jxirticipation in govermncnt. I Ic encouraged students to utilize all benefits to which . SB card holders are entitled. Scott started a program through which . SB members could re- ceive discounts from local merchants. This plan will become a reality next fall Greek Week was another Scott innovation. Clubs adopted Greek svnibols and joined in a series of rollicking events Scott visited several area high schools and spoke to the student bodies to aequaint them with PCCs outstanding facilities and promising oppor- tunities.
