Dr. Robert Boyd, ice-president of the Board of Trustees, wa es Board President Robert Freeman to victory in the race against Pasadena ' s Spirit of the Little Old Lad . Trustees Will Decide — Stagnation or Progress llic scxcii nicnibcrs of the new P,is;idena Area Junior College Distriet Board of Trustees have a deeision to make. And while PCC students arc not waiting with bated breath for the Trustees to make this decision, perhaps the ' sliould l)e. I ' or the course this Board adopts and follows will lia e far-reaching effects on where PCC goes as an edu- cational institution. Will we continue to progress or will we stagnate? Due to a certain hit record, main . incricans thmk of Pasadena as the static citv of little old ladies m electric cars. This, to an extent, is true. Dri c down Colorado Boule ard an day in tlic week and you will see several little old ladies in elec- tric cars. But there is another side to Pasadena wliieli was not explored b that song. Some little (lid ladies drive sports cars; and some little old ladies hel]) sujiport scholarships funds at Caltech or PCC. Pasadena Cit College has two sides, also. To a certain point, it reflects the staid respeetabilitv of Pasadena. ' Ilierc are no riots and demonstrations here. Beards and long hair are the exceptions rather than the rule. Student political campaigns are conducted over such issues as how to counter student apathv or tlie price of ASB cards, not free love or legalizing LSD. Some consider this a cam- pus of little old ladies dri ing electric ears. But, like Pasadena, PCC often moves ahead like a sports car, with careful, deliberate speed. To .see this advancing, progressive side, come to the Tuesdav Evening Forum and hear Buckminster I ' uller discuss ' nie Search for Meaning Through Creative Design, or attend a student asscmbh some noon and listen to the Deep Six. ' isit a classroom and hear a political science professor praise capitalism and big business, then drop in across the hall where a sociology prof is explaining the merits of socialism. Iliis is the creative aspect of PCC that we are proud of. Its this side we want to expand. Now, Board members, it s up to ou. ill we blast ahead in the S])()rts car or co-jst along in an electric car! ere waiting.

Jenkins has l)ccn the chief adnunistratixe officer of fhe Pasadena Board of Education. As such, he has l)een respon- sible for many improvements in the citv scliool system. It was liis influence, as much as anvone ' s, that caused the aj proxal of the new Pasadena . rea Junior College District. It is Dr. Jenkins ' belief that the Junior Col- lege District is a large step forward in the effort to make PCC the outstanding junior college in California. He has worked for this move since it was first proposed, because he considered it neces- sary to PCC ' s continued growth. During the fall, James N. Sti ers, Jr., presi- dent of the Pasadena Board of Education, has an- nounced with regret the acceptance of Dr. Jen- kins resignation, effective Julv 1, 1967.
