Sacramento City College - Pioneer Yearbook (Sacramento, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1967 volume:

GREAT TRAGEDY took over the stage of the Audito¬ rium this fall. Drama students of Faculty Director George Anastasiow staged the play “Antigone” October 25 through the 28th in an impressive production. For more photo¬ graphs, see pages 21 through 23.

That is the usual route at this time of year. Following some relaxation and play in the Sierra wilds, collegians return for registration again and another semester. Students of the future may have to re¬ adjust psychologically because an academic change to the quarter system looms on the horizon. PIONEER Magazine is published each semester by journalism students of Sacra¬ mento City College, 3835 Freeport Blvd., Sacramento, Calif. Los Rios Junior College District Superintendent Walter T. Coultas, SGC President Harold H. Stephenson, PIONEER Advisor J. N. McIntyre. Magazine staffers named on Page 57. CAMPUS UNLIMITED—Brief glimpses of City College’s golden past can be found in Photo Album (p. 5). A look into the future—in the year 2000 A.D.—has a fas¬ cination for Editor Ann Russell (p. 28). For the 1966-67 fall semester, “Pioneer” Magazine presents 76 other pages of hap¬ penings. ★ ★ ★ MANY of the “costumes” that City col¬ legians of both sexes have been wearing on campus have provoked discussion about “appropriate” attire, as outlined by the office of the Dean of Student Activities. For many, it is difficult to ignore the lack of taste in campus wear. (De gustibus non est disputandum). Read some student and faculty opinions on Pages 58, 59. ★ ★ ★ TO OUR CRITICS —The purpose o ' PIONEER is not clearly understood. Some erudite readers seem to think this student magazine should fill the void on campus for a publication featuring controversial issues of the day or it should serve as an outlet for student creative writing. To these readers, we are “juvenile.” Others would like us to be more sophis¬ ticated—or risque, ala a college humor magazine. Since there is taste in humor, too, and “we editorials” do not want to be censors of any kind, we shy again. However, this semester magazine (which in fact is a substitute for the traditional yearbook) is designed to be a pictorial record of college ac¬ tivities each term. Those budding student poets and writers should contact Mr. Jerry Fishman, faculty sponsor of the Cre¬ ative Writing Club, who plans to publish the works of young literati next semester. Remembering what The Man said about pleasing the people, we go our way as a student pictorial publication, recording the events of the college community, with¬ in the limits of space and talents of all. In the meantime, you will pardon us if -the “poetry” here is light instead of provocative or scholarly. Pardon us, too, if we do not discuss the proposed changes in the abortion law or Existentialism or the philosophical positions regarding the war in Viet Nam. We ain’t anti-intellectual, honest! ★ ★ ★ 1 see Begins Second Fifty DURING ITS FIFTY YEARS of continuous operation, Sacramento City College has experienced peri¬ ods of prosperity and depression, growth and retrenchment—both in numbers of students and in campus development. see had its beginning in 1914 when the late Mr. C. C. Hughes, superintendent of the Sacramento City School System, recom¬ mended that the board of educa¬ tion establish a junior college in a wing of Sacramento Senior High School. By 1916, Mr. Hughes’ idea had taken permanent shape. In 1925 the cornerstone for the Administration Building on the present campus was laid. (For a note on a current problem of this venerable structure see the inside back cover). Remaining today in memory of the late Mr. Hughes is the foot- ! ball stadium, which bears his ! name but which remains part of the City School System. An early arrival on the junior col¬ lege scene in California SCC had a steady growth but was adverse¬ ly affected by two world wars, I when its young men left the cam- I pus almost exclusively to help I meet the threat to the nation. After WW II, and before the “baby boom” hit the campus near I the middle of this decade. City [ College had almost settled down to a permanent status as part of the Sacramento Unified School District. RECOGNITION—Before the election and the new Lt. Governor took office this month, Lt. Governor Glenn Anderson signed this proclamation in honor of Sacra¬ mento City College’s Golden Jubilee year. The resolution was introduced into the California Senate by City College instructor, Albert Rodda, long representing Sac¬ ramento County as a State Senator. 21st eentury Ho! JV .

Then on Paddy’s Day in ’65, the voters of the region passed a measure to establish a separate junior college district, to em¬ brace see and American River eollege. Subsequently, the new district—with its own Board of Trustees—became known as the Los Rios Junior eollege District (translation: “two rivers,” in recognition of the areas of the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers). Now three new campuses for the Los Rios je District are on the drawing boards, designed to help fulfill the educational needs of the thousands of students and also the needs in the community for more higher education and vocational training. They will help to expand the aca¬ demic program of which City College is so vital a part: a pro¬ gram to meet current and future challenges of rising student en¬ rollment, including teenagers, for¬ eign students, adults and return¬ ing military personnel searching for higher education, especially vocational training, in such di¬ verse fields, for example, as aero¬ nautical engineering, nursing, merchandising, electronics. The new campuses will be enthu¬ siastically welcome. Their educa¬ tional claim is on the future. City College shares the future with them, but already claims a 50- year contribution that other schools will have to spend a half century matching. SACR 191 18 STUD Over-all, since 1918 this two- year college has graduated 17,- 117 students (a grand total of 18 graduated in 1918—the first graduates). In its role as edu¬ cator for the first of two years of undergraduate education prior to university work, al¬ ready see has earned laurels at the University of California for the excellence of its training. SCC’s corollary role as a two- year institution for occupational training will assume greater im¬ portance when the current war ends and more veterans return to swell the classrooms. Sacramento City College looks forward to a second 50 years with confidence and pride in its vital role in the community, state and nation. hos Rios District Map On Pages 26 and 27 BIRTHDAY PARTY —The cutting of the Golden Jubilee Cake was the first order of business of the College year.

Panther-Burger de Luxe A GET-ACQUAINTED get-together for new and former students, faculty, staff, and friends of the College—Friday afternoon of the first week of classes—featured the “Wel¬ come” theme. With the benefit of Daylight Savings Time and Injun Summer, the community of scholars took a page from Eastern college tradition and enjoyed a relaxed picnic outing on the campus greens to successfully inaugurate the Spirit of ’66. DEAN JACK MAUGER, hard-working director of stu¬ dent activities, poses with some student leaders as part of the pre-picnic propaganda. During the all-campus affair, many faculty members served as cooks, broiling Panther- burgers to varying degrees of delectability. AMID PREDICTIONS of a burgeoning student enroll¬ ment, City College fell back about 3 per cent from pro¬ jections at the beginning of this semester. Explanations from official sources were two-fold: an in¬ creased military draft call for the Viet Nam emergency, and a brightening locally of the employment scene for high school graduates. Nationally, initial freshmen enrollment dropped a 0.9 per cent since 1965 in 1,095 accredited colleges, according to a recent survey. The dropoff is attributed to the low birth rate in 1948 and to the military draft. An initial fall semester enrollment of 5853 full-time students at SCC proved to be a surprise downturn in the face of a 6100-plus collegian prognosis by Los Rios JC district officials and SCC President Harold H. Stephen¬ son. And, according to Dean of Student Personnel Sam Kipp, about 13 per cent of those who matriculated dropped out before this publication slipped from the presses. Despite increased numbers all around (including 34 new instructors), the academic work of the new term proceeded inexorably—with some seven o’clock classes, for the first time in fifty years.

During the intermission at home games the Panther Marching Band with the flag-twirling Golden Girls provides much of the excitement and College spirit at the football games. (Photo by “Sac¬ ramento Bee”) Student Musicians Provide Focus For Spirit During Fall Semester EIGHTY-EIGHT student musicians, two drum majors, twenty-six Golden Girls (who are the banner bearers, flag- twirlers, majorettes, and flag-bearers) make up the Panther Marching Band. Thirty members of the Band comprise a unit called the Pep Band, which participates in the activities of the “away” football games and all basketball games. Besides adding great color to home grid games, the Marching Band performs at many community activities, such as the Veterans’ Day Parade. And on Nov. 20, the band played during the half-time of the S.F. Forty-Niner game, which was nationally televised. Last year, the students of the College and members of the community raised enough funds to send the March¬ ing Band to join in the Rose Bowl Parade January 1 in Pasadena, where they took third place in the band com¬ petition. Mr. David Tucker, in his second semester as faculty director of the Band, hopes his charges will be able to compete in the Rose Bowl festivities again next January.

It is always the aim of stu¬ dent government to aid and as¬ sist the student body in finding the problems facing the students and to do its best to correct them; this semester was no exception. “Outside of the normal respon¬ sibilities of the Executive Council, such as the planning of Home¬ coming and the Christmas Ball, the Council discussed many of the on-campus problems that are facing the students here. “One of the more important problems that we faced was the feasibility of using a Faculty Evaluation System on this cam¬ pus. This idea was initiated this semester and will undoubtedly ex¬ tend throughout the year. Mike Zellmer SA President Faculty Advisers “The other major problem to be faced was the never-ending problem of automobile parking. Progress was made this semester, much more than was made in the past, and with a little more work this ‘pain in the neck’ will be completely resolved. “I would just like to add that it was a great honor to have served you this semester and I enjoyed it immensely. I wish everyone luck in the future, and great success in all of their en¬ deavors.” 5.

Student groups set up tables on the Cafeteria portico to recruit new and returning collegians to their ranks. Stu¬ dent interests are represented in the wide variety of clubs. The positive values gained through member¬ ship in activities are recognized by academicians everywhere—an ingredient for entrance into uni¬ versities—as an important part of the curriculum and in the development of the “educated” person. ALPINE CLUB—“Are you really sure we lost her in this part of the Sierras?” Fine THE CHIEF PURPOSE of fine arts is to express or interpret the feeling of beauty. As we surround ourselves with beauty, art actu¬ ally becomes a part of our life and personality. Tastes and abili¬ ties in the fine arts may be re¬ fined by one of the many courses offered at City College. Too often it is thought that art is synonymous only with drawing, painting, and sculpture.

POSING- painting. -A study of figure DUAL PURPOSE—“Would you be¬ lieve we eat off these plates too?” wbYcvro Arts contrary, fine arts include music, drama, poetry, dancing, painting, drawing, architecture, and sculp¬ ture. Machines are a proof of man’s intelligence, just as a nest of twigs is proof of the cleverness of a bird. But the fine arts are a proof of the greater qualities of spirit and feeling which set man apart from the lower animals. . . . MH I Sr ESTHETICS—Courses in painting and drawing develop standards of taste and judgment which help students to enjoy the beautiful in nature and in art. 19 Vessels of Clay MODERN DANCE—Kris Johnson, Sue Silva, Beckie Chavez, and Maria Royster demonstrate the often overlooked art of dance. Modern Ounce The Tragic Figure Antigone The Story THE CURSE on the house of Labdacus not only brings about the double death of Eteocles and Polynices but also involves their two sisters Ismene and Antigone. Antigone insists upon giving her brother Poly¬ nices (who had been named a traitor to the city of Thebes) the last human right, the rite of burial. By this deed Antigone knowingly risks her life, for she is violating the ancient custom of denying burial to enemies and traitors as well as the decree of Creon, her uncle, who has just succeeded to the throne. Comment IT WOULD BE difficult to decide on the most tragic of the Greek plays; however the Theban plays (Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus and Anti¬ gone) surely would be among the top contenders. Although ANTIGONE was written first, it is the last play in the cycle. Dramatis Personae ANTIGONE.Donna Steinmann ISMENE.Jean Hawkins Leader of the Ghorus.R.

Besides the two existing campuses— Sacramento City College and American River College—three new campuses will take their places early in the next decade to help meet the need for higher education in the community, that is, the need for more professional and technical training and for liberal education. THE NEW CAMPUSES Campus A—to be located to the east of the City, near U. S. Highway 50 and the city of Folsom. Campus B—to be located in the southern area of Sacramento County near Highway 99, Mack Road, and Franklin Blvd. Campus C—to be located to the north of the city, near the Sacramen¬ to River, in the Grant District. Until the new campuses are realities, see and ARC will take care of all en- rollees in the district, with the use of port¬ able classrooms and new buildings, now in the planning stage. By 1975, five campuses will be func¬ tioning in the Los Rios District, one of the largest junior college districts in the State educating over 22,000 students—and there will be more new campuses after that.

Besides the three new cam.puses, new buildings will be in evidence on the SCC and AR campuses offering new and expanded curricula. In accordance with the recommendations of a survey team, the “new look” will cost $82,163,400 over the twenty-year period. The first phase cost¬ ing $28 million, to be completed by 1969, will require no additional financing. Phases two and three will call for new bond issues to be voted on by citizens of the district. Curriculum recommendations by the consulting firm which made its study last year include an emphasis on vocational training to meet the in¬ creased technological demands of the area.

What is this?? ALUM RETURNS This is the year 2000 A.D., and you, a City College student of 33 years ago, are being conducted on a grand tour of the new campus. As you are probably fully aware, our food supply is now being gleaned solely from the; sea. When the great earthquake of ’96 totally destroyed the SCC that you attended (complete with earthquake-proof buildings, ha ha), the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to construct the new campus directly in the mainstream of life: the Pacific Ocean. A huge, atomic-powered fan beneath this artifici al island cre¬ ates a squat column of water, causing the campus to rest approx¬ imately ten feet above sea level while still cushioned upon water. SEASIDE Because of the difference in locale and the increased number of students attending SCC, numerous changes have been made in curriculum, in counseling, in extracurricular activities, and even in that house of decadence known as the cafeteria. As you have probably read in the catalog you were given at the start of the tour, majors are now offered in deep-sea fishing, skin- diving, surfing, marine biology, and (you guessed it) underwater basket-weaving. The chemistry department concentrates on remov¬ ing salt from water, while life science majors are trying desperately to communicate with porpoises. “Student 276315, report to counselor 36 at once!” BY NUMBERS Oh yes—we are now completely computerized. Our faculty and students are addressed only by number. A televi¬ sion screen instructs the students, and IBM machines score all exams. Our machines contain all good human qualities, including ex¬ treme intelligence, and reject any poor qualities. Thus, our entire faculty is the best made. As we pass the counseling office, you may observe the cubicles containing advice machines for students with problems and pro¬ gramming computers for planning class schedules. The large, gold-colored machine is “Number One,” the Presi¬ dent. Our computer system is much faster than the old human¬ counseling system. HELP! KELP! The tall building on your left is the Marine Re¬ sources Consumption Plant; I believe you called it a cafeteria in your day. Of course, our cooks serve nothing but the best in kelp and other assorted algae and occasionally a soup of diatoms. Vending machines located in various sections of the campus dispense energy pills for those who do not have time for a leisurel y meal. The second floor of this building is a lounge for relaxation between classes. If it hadn’t been for your Student Union petitions, we would never have gotten it. We will return here for a cup of steamed sea- grass after the tour, and you may take a closer look at the “instant music” cartridges and at the fully automatic game tables. BIG POOL Now, as we go outside, we pass the men’s athletic field. This particular group is the skindiving class preparing to visit the bottom of the ocean, the campus swimming pool. The deep-sea fishing students over here are being given instruc¬ tion in baiting and reeling. Notice the magnetic personality of the mechanical instructor. There is none of the metallic monotone that computers of your day were so apt to have. The glass-domed edifice on the right is our science building. We are responsible for many advanced techniques in distillation of water and curing of algae forms. All equipment is run by solar power with atomic reserves for cloudy days. The generators are located in the physical science wing if you would care to explore further at the close of the tour. TONGUES In the Languages and Literature Division are taught the classical languages of French, Spanish, and German, as well as our modern tongues. We have courses in Early and Late Lunar Poetry and entire classes devoted to the older writers such as Ginsberg and Steinbeck. Our Social Science Department is completely up-to-date. History students learn of each revolution as it happens. BOAT CULTURE This is a portion of the parking lot—marina. The majority of our students drive hydroplanes, but a few of the more affluent ones have air cars, an invention brought about by Dick Tracy’s lunar friends. There is no real parking problem here; space is unlimited. Ex¬ tendable moving ramps carry students from car to class. FASHIONS To conclude our tour, you will be shown a few ex¬ amples of fashion on campus as exemplified by Student Government and Rally members. As we enter the Auditorium, which, by the way, has perfect accoustics, please take seats in the center section. Our first young man is wearing the red leotard and gold cape of Men’s Rally. His companion wears the uniform of Women’s Ral¬ ly: gold slacks with a red waistcoat and knee boots. The red helmets they are wearing bear antennae which receive messages from friends during ofT-hours and translate light im¬ pulses into English during class. Men on the executive council wear the traditional gold leotard, red cape, and black boots, while women are garbed in fiberglas mini-suits of red and gold. Our songsters and yell-leaders have adopted the new “mod” look—paisley patterns, wide utility belts and big-buckled boots. END TOUR Due to lack of time, we must now conclude our tour.

UP! For an over-the shoul¬ der pass. GIANTS ball-carrier being tackled by Panther defender. SEVERAL THOUSAND FANS—Students, alum¬ ni, friends of the College—witnessed a thrilling upset victory in the Homecoming contest at Hughes Stadium Saturday afternoon, Oct. 29. The Giants from the College of Sequoias were the victims of some inspired play by the Panthers during the second half, featuring a 65-yard touch¬ down pass play from QB A1 Wentworth to flanker back Jim Edmondson, which put the locals ahead to stay. At the halftime intermission SCC and COS were in a 0-0 stalemate. Mistakes Equalize The Giants capitalized on a Panther mistake early in the third quarter for their first score. A COS defensive back pilfered a Wentworth pass, and the Giants set up shop on the Panther 32. Seven plays later. COS scored and made the P. A. T. Then it was City College’s turn to make good on a COS mistake. The Giant quarterback dropped back to pass and dropped the ball. Panther line¬ backer Rich Peretti was right on the ball at the Giants’ 15, and the Panthers were in business. After Wentworth bootlegged to the two on a fourth-down situation, Alonzo Jennings rammed across. Doug Garrison booted the extra point, and the score stood at 7-7. Cats Fall Behind The Giants got their first sustained drive in the last stanza. They marched 57 yards to the City College 17, where the Panther defense stif¬ fened, but a 35-yard field goal gave COS a 10-7 advantage. Then Wentworth picked on Edmond¬ son, hitting the lanky flanker at the 45. Edmondson sidestepped a Giant defender and sprinted the rest of the way into the end zone. After Garrison missed the P. A. T., the tally stood at 13-10. Late in the game, the Giants drove to the Panther 10, but defensive end Howard Thomas saved the victory with a leaping interception of a pass in the end zone.

John Scorza started the rout when he rushed into the end zone from the 18-yard line. Nothing could stop the big-red machine. A1 Wentworth, City’s quarterback, racked up 243 yards on 13 passes, two good for touchdowns. The Panther defense held the Wolverines until the final period when Sierra finally got the ball moving against the City reserves, but by then it was too late. 1966 FINAL STANDINGS VALLEY CONFERENCE WL Fresno City College. ...5 0 American River College... ...4 1 Sacramento City College. ...2 3 College of Sequoia. ...2 3 San Joaquin Delta College 2 3 Modesto Junior College... ...0 5 PANTHER BACK Dan Salazar takes off around his own right end to rack up the yards.

It was their first game of the season, and they were behind 12-2. Although they had moved the ball inside the 15-yard line twice. City could not get the ball into the end zone. So although the team rested at half-time. Coach Pierucci didn’t. The matz’oth ball soup in his veins really boiled over. When the boys came back on the field, they were playing like a team. The speedy Alonzo Jennings and John Scorza moved the ball to the twenty to set up Eric Allert’s run around left end for the T.D. Ted Fitzpatrick took the second one across on a pass from A1 Wentworth with Don Puliz making the conversion on a surprise tackle-eligible pass. In the final touchdown try of the evening, while being dragged down, Wentworth pitched out to Jennings, who went across to finalize the score SCC 25, Contra Costa 18. see SEASON RESULTS OPP. 25 Contra Costa College 18 46 Sierra College 0 19 Chabot College 24 35 Santa Rosa 14 6 Delta 7 19 Modesto 7 13 College of Sequoias 10 23 F resno 41 7 American River 13 193 .. .TOTALS. .. 134 EXTRA FUN—“You grab a leg and Fll grab a leg and we’ll make a wish.” Panthers 35 Santa Rosa 14 V 44 THATAWAY?—Which way did he go?

Mid-Season Divide Panthers Split In Four Games IN I ' HEIR INVASION of Contra Costa County, the Panther eleven lost its first game of the young season. It was largely a stalemated game; neither team could make yardage. Twice the visitors crossed the ten-yard stripe only to be stopped inches from the goal. How¬ ever, the Panthers were able to score three touch¬ downs on short runs by Jennings and Scorza, to make the score 24-19—a victory for Chabot Col- lege. A Win Over Santa Rosa Then the Cats came up against the Cubs from Santa Rosa. Gary Saccani scored the first TD on an interception from Greg Gatlin. After having a 91-yard run called back, Jennings scooted over for his first TD of the evening. He scored again from five yards out. Later he scored from the three- yard line. Danny Salazar also contributed six points to the SCG cause to make the score 35-14. A One Point Loss Then it happened. In their first league game of the season the locals succumbed to the kicks of the Mustangs, losing by one point, 7-6. Although Sacramento was the strong favorite in this Hughes foray, their plans went awry. The lone SCC touch¬ down was scored by Ted Fitzpatrick on a pass from Wentworth. An Upset Win for SCC The next week the Panthers spoiled Modesto’s Homecoming, an upset win, 19-7. A1 Wentworth completed 17 passes in 25 attempts. Two fumbles by the Pirates set up two City scores. When Pier- ruci’s lads returned to the field after halftime, Scorza and Wentworth crossed over to give the black cats a winning margin of twelve points.

IN ONE of the crucial games of the year, City lost to Fresno at their field by a score of 41-23. The defeat cut short City’s chances for any part of the championship VC Crown, giving the Pan¬ thers a 2-2 conference record at this point. Sacramento opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 53-yard Wentworth pass to flanker Jim Edmondson. Doug Garrison kicked for the extra point making the score 7-0. The Fresno Rams, however, drove 69 yards to even the score at 7-7 before the end of the quarter. The rest of the first half was Fresno’s game in every way, as they racked up two touchdowns for a half-time score of 20-7. The second half saw City driving for two more touchdowns, one a 67-yard pass to Edmondson and the other a 13-yard run by halfback Tom Al¬ len. Fresno made three touchdowns good for 21 points in the last half. BLOCKER stops a Ram as Panther ball carrier heads for the end zone. 46 ARC 13, see 7 !

With a crowd of approximately 7,000 people in the stands, the Panthers succumbed in a 13-7 defeat, ending the season with a 5-4 overall record and a 2-3 Valley Conference total, tying for third place. The Beavers closed the season with a second place in VC play. Scoring began early in the first quarter when Alonzo Jennings shot ten yards for the T.D. The touchdown, a result of a 50-yard drive, made the score 7-0 after Doug Garrison’s kick. AR, however, rallied in the second quarter to tie it up at 7-7. The Beavers marched 75 yards in five plays for their T.D., after getting the ball on their own 25. In the third quarter, fans saw much moving of the ball but no scoring plays. At one point the Panthers had the ball on the Beaver’s 11-yard line before losing out on a fourth down. The Beavers made their winning play with 4:45 left in the game.

The new format replaced the College annual, a change some¬ what lamented by a few traditionalists among yearbook de¬ votees. The photographic approach, rather than the literary one, emphasizes College students and their activities of the term. The fall issue appears in January, the spring issue in June.

Besides journalism buffs, who can earn two units of academic credit, other interested students wander into the PIONEER room and often end up helping out in accordance with their talents—as pho¬ tographers, writers, artists and what-nots. The staff taking a break 57 What The Calendar Says • • § Inquiring faculty views “The code of dress listed in the schedule is a recommendation. I feel that students honestly want to have a guide line as to proper dress for a par¬ ticular time and place. The school has a responsibility to instill good taste, and to promote a collegiate atmosphere for students in the manner of dress. I de¬ fend the right of an instructor to refuse admission to class of a student whose dress would be distracting. Most of all, I would try to protect students from unfavorable reaction from their fellow students.” Mrs. Erna Olsen Student Activities Coordinator “I don’t think students should come to class in shorts and mini-skirts. I feel that dressing appropriately is a part of education. On this campus most of the students should be complimented on their neatness and choice of clothes.” Mrs. Edlo Keller Cosmetology “SCC students should not be allowed to wear clothing which deviates from the ‘appropriate’ dress listed in the schedule and on the back of the calen¬ der. According to Dean Mauger, the proper class room attire for students at see was suggested by the Student Association. There are a few students, however, that are either unaware of the suggested standards or choose to ignore them. Any action necessary to bring these few students into line with the rest of the student body would be more effective if it was taken by the Student Association.” Mr. R. J. Bader Science and Mathematics “I don’t believe that there should be any code of dress for college students. They should be mature enough to de¬ cide what they want to wear. Too often, dress codes force students to con¬ form to the arbitrary standards of oth¬ ers. I believe students can make wise choices and should be given the chance to make them.” Mr. John Valone Instructor in English Should Students Dress As They Please? BW9W9W999WWWW9WS?9W999W99W999W99999W999WW999999W99999W999W999WWW9WWW9W } The Inquiring Reporter asked students at random the following ques¬ tion: Should see students he allowed to wear clothing which deviates from the ' ' appropriate dress ' ' listed in the schedule and on the hack of the cal¬ ender (i.e,. Should they wear — slacks, shorts, and mini-skirts for women; Bermudas or undershirts for men)? (This question applies to attire in classes only, not to other functions), I “I find that most of the kids at City are very well dressed or at least are neat. I haven’t found too many stu¬ dents that deviate from the regulations of mandatory dress but those that do aren’t that extensive. The girls that wear the mini-skirts prove to be a dis¬ traction in class, but maybe that’s why they wear them.” Carolyn Cozad Sophomore “By the time an individual reaches the college level, he or she should re¬ alize what is appropriate for school. As for mini-skirts, there is a time and place for all types of dress, and school just isn’t the place. In the winter when it is cold and windy, I feel a girl should be able to wear pants. Bermudas on boys look fine in hot weather. T-shirts should be tucked in at least but other¬ wise they look o.k.” Allyson Gibson Freshman “A neat appearance and good groom¬ ing are decided assets. Desirable and undesirable qualities, I feel, are project¬ ed by the manner in which we dress and in many instances, influence teach¬ ers, fellow students, and employees: The weather plays an important part in the choice of women’s apparel because on rainy, dismal days, most women prefer to wear slacks or warm clothing. As for mini-skirts, young women of college level should be mature enough to know that the mini-skirt is not appropriate apparel for school.” Randia Sanchez Freshman “We are young enough to adventure in styles and old enough to have taste in clothes, and college is a time for both educational and cultural learning. Learning is best advanced through ex¬ perimentation and experience. Thus, to enable us to develop acceptable taste in the cultural aspects of life (i.e. mode of dress); we must experiment and ex¬ perience a wide variety of aspects ol said culture.” Claudia Ann Dias Freshman “The ‘appropriate dress’ clause is only a suggestion. If it were not given to the students, dress would become quite different from the norm. Al¬ though the suggestions seem to be strict, if they were more lenient, the dress on campus would deviate even more. Clothing should be appropriate for the weather, conducive to study, but com¬ fortable.” Mindy Harvey Freshman “There is no stated rule against mini¬ skirts. There is no rule against wearing shorts or slacks. As far as the men are concerned, the rule states that they should wear long slacks. Discretion is left to the instructor as to whether or not a student may remain in class if he is inappropriately dressed. Two de¬ termining factors should be considered: The weather conditions; and appear¬ ance (i.e. good taste). Since we are college students, I wonder whether the way we dress affects our learning capa¬ bilities or our study habits which are, after all, our prime requirements for getting an education. Doug Morgan Sophomore “Boys in undershirts? Who cares! I believe it is a personal matter and is really not of any great importance—if the shirt is reasonably clean. Bermudas? School is not that casual an occasion. Girls in mini-skirts? Hum! Well, it certainly adds a little zip to the school. I am sorry, but I must remain true to my Christian up-bringing and say that they are great for many other events (almost any other).” Marty Curry Sophomore “I don’t think it is wrong for the men to wear Bermudas, but as for un¬ dershirts, I think they make the man look half-dressed. As far as the women are concerned, slacks are o.k. in winter because it is cold, but I can’t see mini¬ skirts—they’re just too short.” Barbara Nelson Sophomore 59 ' REGISTRATION lines give students new slants on campus life. Photo Psychosis Lens-men on the Loose MAD SCIENTISTS in the photographic darkroom of the “Pioneer” are not idle. As they produce glossy prints for the Magazine, frequently mental ab¬ errations result from the fatigue, the interminable darkness, and the pressures of publication dead¬ lines.

Some fall by the wayside, but most manage some¬ how to survive pledging and go on to achieve a personal goal: fraternity mem¬ bership. The see fraternities have made names for themselves both on and off campus, taking charge of many school and com¬ munity service activities.

Now the beautiful red brick structure must undergo a structural survey (cost $6,000) to prove its right to exist. The Los Rios Board of Trustees and City College officials have doubts whether the Capital City landmark can meet the earthquake safety standards of the 1933 Field Act. If the building fails the test, the alternatives are razing it to make room for a new structure or extensive renovation to make it meet State standards set for all schools.

The Old Women’s Gym (formerly an Auditorium also) above awaits its execu¬ tion sometime this month. It was built in 1926. Highlights TELESCOPING TIME — Co¬ incidental with the announcement of City College completing its 50th year of continuous classroom instruction this month was the revelation that over $4 million will be spent on campus improvements to 1970 to help meet the ever- expanding enrollment. ¥r CHAMPIONS AGAIN — With the cooperation of the printers, Cal-Central, the staff of the “Pioneer” was able to hold the presses in order to report results of the State JC Baseball Series, May 26, 27. After successfully de¬ fending their 1966 Valley Con¬ ference title, the Panther nine soon annexed the Regional title, then the Northern California Championship before emerging into the state finals against Pasa¬ dena College. For results of a championship team at work, see Page 61. DEAD P.AST — Looking back¬ ward is also interesting. For like¬ ness of SCC’s first six graduates see the Photo Album, Pages 4 and 5. Also there is a look into past Pioneer Days on Pages 38, 39. CONTROVERSY—Issues and argument seemed to be omni¬ present this semester some con¬ tinuing ones, such as PARKING for student cars and the frus¬ trations of REGISTRATION (see p. 8). Other problems, in¬ cluding the imposing of TLT- TION for all college students and the MILITARY DRAFT took on highly emotional over¬ tones. (see p. 1). Especially fascinating and sensitive is the question of EVALLIATION of instructors by the students. That one was of more positive interest to the students than to the faculty members. A decision may be forthcoming in the fall. On to the Summer Respite BACK COVER: The Capitol Building at night has been captured by one of “Pioneer’s” contributing student photographers, Larry Lincoln. Although the dome usually radiates golden yellow (green on St. Patrick’s Night), Larry recorded the lonely but beautiful night scene in glorious black and white (with a yellow tint block supplied by Cal-Central Press).

Even a number of the faculty got into the spirit in appropriate western garb. Loud reports occasionally shook the meditating calm in classrooms during the week preceding, before the mood reverted to the semi¬ annual academic rehashing known as Final Examinations. For a re¬ view of the 1967 spring festivities see pages 38 to 42. 1 Student Participation RUMBLINGS AND IDEAL¬ ISTS — A new phenomenon at colleges and universities through¬ out the land — and at City Col¬ lege — is the articulate group of young idealists who are demand¬ ing a voice in making adminis¬ trative and faculty decisions which affect them. How the profits made in the College Store will be spent is one type of question which concerned students have. A new student political group made its appearance this year and with some faculty counseling pub¬ lished an off-campus newspaper, concerned with on-campus affairs. Student Parking—A Space Problem PARKING FOR MY STEED? With only 52 acres for buildings and grounds, little space remains for students ' cars. Parking violations (ex¬ ceeding the 40-limit and other limitations) on the fringes of the campus have plagued students all semester. But the Sacramento City Council says the problem belongs to the Los Rios JC District. Prospects for a solution in the immediate future seem to be imposition of parking fees. Later a high-rise auto parking facility is a possibility. CONf RON IA1 ION — Pres. Harold H. Stephenson has been involved in students’ views of a vociferous nature this semester as some returning veterans, older students, and others of the “New Left” became more vitally interested in administrative affairs. Here he talks with students at a all-college reception. ■jA- t • College Tuition? WHO PAYS THE BILL? —Al¬ though the issue of tuition at col¬ leges lies in abeyance for a year, much emotional discussion ling¬ ers at City. The issue is vital here not only because many students plan to transfer to four-year colleges, but also because some fiscal experts feel that tuition at all two-year colleges is inevitable. As property taxes go down. State income taxes go up, but not enough to cover the increased costs of higher education. So who pays? The students and their parents? Or the State through taxation? For a Look At Another Prob¬ lem See Pages 8 and 9 . . . Registration. Problems and Issues TWO RALLIES in the capital city brought students from many colleges and univer¬ sity branches throughout the state and peeked the interest of local collegians. Teach¬ ers’ Unions, government officials (including the Governor) and other interested parties were involved in the emotional spectacle. i x i -x nx (Photo by John Carroll) Students Evaluate Instructors? That Military Obligation CAN STUDENTS JUDGE? A current fad among col¬ legians in many places is the desire to judge (for publica¬ tion) the classroom performance of their instructors. Would such an evaluation be a weapon at SCC or an aid to better teaching? These are only a few of the ques¬ tions which concerned student leaders in the SCC Execu¬ tive Council most of the spring semester. A decision may be forthcoming in the fall. WAR AND PEACE — As manpower quotas from Selec¬ tive Service Boards have increased during the past few months, student‘debate became heated .over such problems as “class ranking” or “academic standing” (as a basis for deferment). Another question is the morality of students being exempt from the draft at all. Both students and facul ty are still discussing the broader question of the basis and purpose of U.S. presence in Vietnam. 3 (joldcfi HIGH-RISE LEARNING — A multi-story building will replace the home economics building (above) in the first phase of the Ten Year Master Plan. The “learning center” will be the focal point of intellectual activity while the wrecking crews demolish the Administrative Building in 1970. CROWD HAPPY —The din in the College Store (besides the cash registers) is caused by the increased number of students try¬ ing to purchase books and sup¬ plies. The projection for the year 1977 is 22,000 college students in the district, more than double the present student population. PORTABLES OR TENTS? Be¬ cause of the “tuition” crisis in the university and state college sys¬ tems, more students may have to be accommodated at SCC and other community colleges. The problem is that no one can make an accurate estimate for the years ahead. Three more portable class¬ rooms are on order, similar to the ones on campus above. � Jubilee Year Ends Campus Face Changes as Student Numbers Grow; New Buildings To Rise WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, City College will spend $4,765,900 in new construction and renovation on the campus. The first phase of the expansion program, a Ten- Year Master Plan, includes the following: — A new Student Center and Women’s Gymnasium. Following razing of the present Women’s Gym this sum¬ mer, construction will begin; completion is scheduled for 1968. — An Aeronautics hangar located at the Metropolitan Airport. — A new classroom and Learning Center Building will be constructed on the site of the present Home Eco¬ nomics classrooms, with completion set for 1969. A few portable classrooms will be moved from this area. — A new building to combine Graphic Arts facilities with an expanded Cosmetology program. The structure will face Freeport Blvd. Construction scheduled for 1969- 70. — Three additional portable classrooms to help meet the increased enrollment next fall. — A Little Theater for the Drama program. (1969) — Correction of certain features of the Administration Building to comply with the requirements of the Field Act. — Renovation of facilities in the Art Department, and medical technology. Early in the 1970’s the Administration Building will be razed. The new building to take its place will con¬ sist of two multi-level wings on the north and south of the campus quadrangle. The new design will allow the quadrangle to be viewed as an open area from Freeport Blvd. to the new Student Center Building. When Phase Two of the Ten-year Master Plan starts in the early 70’s, additional construction and renovation will get underway. BEAUTY DOOMED — This landmark in the capital city, built in 1925, has been deemed “unsafe” in the event of earthquake. Although a temporary shoring up process is underway, the entire Administration Building will be torn down in 1970, to be replaced by two classroom wings extend¬ ing toward Freeport Blvd. In the photo below, the Women’s Gym will fall victim to the wrecker’s ball. In 1968, a new Student Union Building, with facilities for women’s physical education, will open on the site. The old structure was built in 1926. A Golden Jubilee Item First Graduates Six Women Edna Banks Doris McCulloui h Avis Lothrop First see eeremony Disrupted by War Editor’s Note: The following article, taken from the 1918 Review, City College’s first student pub¬ lication — was written by Coralie Cress, one of six alumnae, first graduates of SCC. Classes were held at Sacramento Senior High School until 1925. By CORALIE CRESS The second year of the Junior College has drawn to a close. The first graduating class makes its debut. All told there are six students who have completed the required work, and they are all girls. Indeed they are proud to be the first gradu¬ ates of the Sacramento Junior College. They are Edna Banks, President, Coralie Cress, Past Presi¬ dent, Doris McCullough, Avis Lothrop, Dorothy Guild, and Rachel Look. One of the class is going to Stanford, another is going to the University of Nevada, and the rest intend to go to the University of California in the near future. Thus the graduates will be in three different institutions, and will have the op¬ portunity of letting other people know that Sac¬ ramento is on the map. The Sophomore class in February elected Edna Banks, President, Doris McCullough, Sec¬ retary, and Coralie Cress, Sergeant-at-Arms. The officers began work immediately, and soon had procured a service flag for their former classmates who had entered the service. One of the boys is now in France with the Engineering Corps, and from his recent letters he is now close behind the firing line. The Freshman class elected Lillian Schultz, President, Effie Cummings, Vice President, and Sarah Tucker, Secretary. So far the class has not accomplished much along the social line, but great things are expected during the coming year. The students of the college number sixty-one and if next year’s role increases in proportion to the first two years’ increase, there will soon be a large college in the Capital City. The subjects that were offered this year were English, Chem¬ istry, Zoology, Ethics, Psychology, Economics, His¬ tory, French, Latin, Engineering, and Classical English. The faculty consists of Dean Berringer, Mr. Williams, Mr. Webster, Mr. Borst, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Rutan, Miss Cravens, Miss Andriot, Miss Herrick, Miss McGrew, Miss Tracy, Miss Cooledge, and Miss Finnic. e Rachel Look Dorothy Guild Coralie Cress 6 1 City College Photo Album OLD-TIMER — James Callaghan, busi¬ ness instructor, came to the College in 1937.

Diestel, Jr., served coming to SCG in as President of the 1938, has seen many Faculty Senate this changes in his capacity academic year, as librarian. MEMORY — This venerable brick structure, built in 1926, will be the victim of the wrecker’s ball this summer. For over forty years it has served as the Women’s Gym and in the old days a sometime auditorium. The new Student Union Building, now being constructed on the site, will open in 1968 and will include new facilities for women’s physical education classes.

MYRIAD QUESTIONS involved in the registering of 8579 students in the spring semester haven’t all been answered yet. For example, should sophomores have first choice in class selection to aid them in fulfilling gradua¬ tion requirements in four semesters rather than in five? Should all students be allowed their choice of instructors? Or should they be channeled into classes in accordance with the times available? Will automation in the registra¬ tion process next fall eliminate freedom in the choice of instruc¬ tors and classes? Will the new system help reduce the time that it takes to register for the new semester? This semester 5553 full - time students and 2926 extended-day students successfully maneuvered through the registration lines. FALL IN? — It’s that time again — every September and February — to register for classes. When the computer system takes over, the problem will be whether the student can register for the instructor he wants for a particular course. OH NO! That class is closed. What classes aren’t now? WHAT? Now they tell me that that course has a pre¬ requisite. HUSTLE — Sophomores had to struggle sometimes to get the courses they needed for gradu¬ ation — if they were among those who were assigned to register late in the period. Computor: Boon or Bust?

AFTER A TOTAL of 133 years of combined teaching service to the students of Sacramento, the five faculty members of City College pictured on these pages are retiring this month. In their remarks to the “Pioneer” reporter, on the occasion of their departure from the active scene, one notes an amalgamation of emotions—on the one hand, the feeling of anticipation of having more time for rest and the pursuit of personal interests; on the other hand, the feeling of regret of losing contact with young minds and with their teaching colleagues. With grateful remembrance of past help, the College community extends wishes for many days of peace and enjoyment. “I feel that the junior college is a most impor¬ tant segment of the educational system as we really get to know the students while they are becoming men and women and are in the enviable position of being able to help them at the time when they are beginning to think of their vocations. “Having seen so many of my some three thou¬ sand students go on to achieve success in a wide variety of professions has been a source of tremen¬ dous personal satisfaction. I would like to add a word of praise for my faculty colleagues—they have been a wonderful group to wwk with—and to the Administration for the freedom of instruc¬ tion I have enjoyed through the years.” Howard C. Day Instructor in Biology LONG SERVICE — Miss Marie Erwin came to City College in 1928, after having earned a library certificate at the University of California. She also earned her A.B. degree there. This month she is retiring after 39 years of continuous service. 12 “In the summer of 1946 I came from Illinois to California for a vacation. When, late in the sum¬ mer, I accepted a position at City College, the vacation ended abruptly. That fall we registered 297 students, more than twice as many as had been registered two years before. Our laboratories were overflowing and lectures crowded. “Throughout the twenty-one years here I feel that I have worked with an outstanding group of instructors and a friendly and fine group of young people. Naturally I feel some regrets at leaving, but I am looking forward to having time for rest and recreation.” Miss Mary L. Huntington Chairman, Division of Science and Mathematics “To say adieu at this time is difficult; for eight years of happy associations are coming to a close. They have been years of full and rich experience; of the realization that they have established a high regard for youth, no matter what color, race or creed. “The philosophy, from top administration down, has been deeply appreciated, and the dedication of faculty, counselors, and other college personnel has been held in high esteem by the undersigned. “God bless you always, as an outstanding and great college, whose ideals are thoroughly Ameri¬ can, and whose responsibility to educate young people for their future vocations shall always be remembered.” Cornelius Oldenburg, Ph.D Counselor “After forty years of teaching, I look forward with keen anticipation to the freedom and oppor¬ tunity of retirement. Reading in philosophy and literature, the trial (and error) of writing; travel and picture-taking; and the cultivation of new interests—all these promise full days ahead. “I believe the Sacramento City College will en¬ joy a great future. I certainly want to return occasionally to see old friends and take note of the improvements in our college that will surely mate¬ rialize in the year to come.” Herbert L. Abbott Instructor In Business 13 A Calling Together Convocations FREQUENTLY throughout the semester, the College community gathers in the Auditorium to hear an address by a distinguished visitor from the world of government, business or the arts. Classes are dismissed so that students and faculty can hear the views of the experts and thereby gain specialized and practical knowledge in various fields and in addition develop open minds on the issues of the day. The photographs on this page indicate the variety of the programs presented this spring. In addition, a program of films for example, the prize-winning Russian flick “The Cranes Are Flying” — added another dimension to the instruction.

Students on campus are constantly rating their teachers everyday in an informal manner. However, why not have a com¬ mittee of students (with official guidance) evaluate the teaching performance of SCC instructors in the classroom, the results to be published and available to everybody in the College community? To find the answers to this question, the Inquiring Reporter queried students on these pages. The question: What do you think of student-evaluation of instructors? f 1 I A “Student evaluation that was directed to the instructor and which gave speci¬ fic good and bad points of the class would be helpful to the conscientious teacher to evaluate his own program. But if the evaluation was published for student reference it would only help them pick the courses that are easy. They do this now through talking with others.” —David Gage Freshman “Certainly, we should have student- evaluation of teachers. Having a poor teacher can ruin all incentive and drive the student has for learning and achiev¬ ing a high grade. It is, also, a good vay of showing the teacher where he or she is ranked and giving the student a fair chance at getting a good teacher for a class.” —Kathy Kirk Freshman “I think student-evaluation of teachers in the colleges is a good basis for both faculty and student opinion. This type of evaluation can be useful to the stu¬ dents at registration, etc., so that the student can choose a good instructor. “This type of evaluation can prove beneficial to the college in general, too, because it can provide a basis for judg¬ ment when teacher-contracts are sign¬ ed. If a teacher doesn’t perform his duties or if the teacher isn’t of credit to the college, then the administration can use this information and secure a new instructor. “At any rate, I like the idea, it has proven helpful on other campuses, and if City College is to keep her fine reputation then any worthwhile addi¬ tions to the campus (i.e., student evalu¬ ation) are w ' arranted.” —Linda Kersten Sophomore “The advantages of student-evaluation of instructors as well as classes are numerous. SCC has an unfortunate tendency to become a trap for those students who, from ignorance, enroll in worthless classes with poor instructors. “Therefore, student-evaluation, high¬ ly successful on UC campuses, can be and should be an important part of campus procedures.” — Dean Smith Sophomore “Junior College students have neither training nor knowledge adequate enough to evaluate intelligently what constitutes good or bad teachers. “Evaluation by students w ' ould be based on the personality of the teachers and the necessary techniques for secur¬ ing good grades. “Leave the evaluating to trained pro¬ fessional administrators, whose job does not include grinding an ax for a grade or personal favor.” —Hyrum Fedje F reshman 36 “I think there should be some sort of faculty evaluation available to the stu¬ dents. However, it shouldn’t become a club to strike back at teachers. “I feel it should give information such as wffiat is expected by an instruc¬ tor and w ' hat type of lecture the in¬ structor gives.” —Chris Hanson Sophomore “I look upon student - evaluation of teachers as being basically good. For one, it allows students to judge the effectiveness of a teacher in a class¬ room situation. “Another valuable point is that it allows the teachers to see students’ viewpoints toward them. Since I hope to teach, I believe a student-evaluation would benefit me because I might get some idea of the areas in which I, as a teacher, would need improvement.” —Chuck Heinrich Sophomore “I think student evaluation of teachers is important, in some cases. Sometimes a conflict in personalities or the de¬ mand of the teacher can critically affect the performance of a student. “However, if students were allowed to evaluate freely and choose teachers, there would be chaos. Some teachers would have too many students and others too few students. “But all things being equal, the eval¬ uation of teachers by students is impor¬ tant, if in any way it will affect the progress of the student.” —Lola Reed Freshman MAN — This anthropology class is eagerly attentive as Mr. Onstott, the instructor, discusses the ancient cultures of man. “Student-evaluation of teachers could be a good idea for colleges. It is now used in many of the universities and works well. It helps both students and teachers; giving teachers some know¬ ledge of how students like their teach¬ ing methods. “The evaluation tells students what teachers are good and how they teach. But student-evaluation can only work if students are mature and sincere in what they say about their faculty.” —Jim Relies Sophomore “I feel that students do not really have the experience to evaluate teachers in regard to their subject matter and academic ability. “I do feel that we, as students, have enough knowledge to evaluate our teachers’ attitude toward their students, as well as their quality of teaching.” —Anna Mary Speed Sophomore “I believe that student evaluation of teachers would help both students and teachers. Besides enabling the teacher to better serve the needs of his students, evaluation will enable the informed student to choose the teacher best suit¬ ed to his needs. “An evaluating instrument must be found, however, that is free from per¬ sonal prejudice.” —Mr. Daniel I. Phillips Instructor in English “I believe that evaluation of teachers by students is one of the best and most important methods of evaluation. After all, who sees the teacher in action more than the students? “If the evaluation is done by a large enough sampling of students who are sincere, intelligent, and serious about the task at hand, and if the data are carefully compiled, the project would certainly be worth while. “I have participated in such an eval¬ uation while teaching at Sacramento State College and thought the question¬ naire used there was well constructed.” —Mrs. Susanne Shelley Mathematics Instructor 38 Pioneer Day Hootenanny Finalists Students Celebrate 50 th Pioneer Day PIONEER DAY, or more accu¬ rately, Circus Day, began in 1934. The celebration included costume judging, a wild west show (the forerunner of true Pioneer Day?), and a circus parade comprised of the entries of various campus clubs. In 1935, the first beard-growing contest was held. Prizes were given for the fanciest, longest, hardest, softest, and heaviest beards. The winners were announced at the Whiskerino Ball. Theme Added Balloons and suckers were brought out in 1936 and 1937 as SJC students celebrated Kid Day. But in 1938, the Whiskerino contest was revived, and the Pio¬ neer Day theme was added. The object of Pioneer Day was to show that the “young ’uns today have as much spirit as the ’49ers.” Pioneer Day was momentarily forgotten in 1939 during the ex¬ citement of the San Francisco World’s Fair, but SJC students made up for it in 1940 by cele¬ brating both Kid Day and Pio¬ neer Day. Fred Waring crowned the Pioneer Day Queen, begin¬ ning the tradition of inviting celebrities to the festivities. 4th PLACE WINNERS: “THE SHADES RENAULD” 1st PLACE WINNERS: “THE THREE OF US” 3rd PLACE WINNER: LANA DANIELS 2nd PLACE WINNER: DARRYL EFFINGER War Interrupts World War II cancelled Pio¬ neer Day in 1941, 1942, and 1943, but the celebration was held as usual in 1944. In 1949, Pioneer Day was made an official part of California’s Centennial celebra¬ tion. Activities included the entire city, and a downtown parade was inaugurated to encourage city¬ wide participation. The history of Pioneer Day is still in the making. New traditions are added every year, and each spring’s celebration is anticipated eagerly—for the opportunity “to blow off excess steam.” Arz MOSTUARr A PIG in hand is worth a peck in the neck.

Graphic Arts Experience “Presses, INTRODUCTION—Company man shows SCC students, Jean Elliott, Cathy Hannan, and Floyd Kemper, the trays in which copy has been set. High-Speed Presses, Offset Presses Fascinate Students SHEETS OF “Pioneer” pages were flying off the presses recently. The “Pioneer” Magazine “had gone to bed.” The over-sized sheets, which con¬ tained sixteen magazine pages, were printed at Cal-Central Press in Sacramento. First, all the written material was set on the Linotype machine, then proofread by our staff members. After being returned to the plant, the corrected proofs were set into the layouts, with negatives of the photographs. Then aluminum plates were made. While one press was printing the layouts, an¬ other press was printing the cover in four colors. The cover sheets went through the press four times, one time for each color. Finally the printed sheets were folded by ma¬ chine and stapled to the covers. Now, the plant employees and our staff members can relax after weeks of hard, steady work; the “Pioneer” is ready for distribution. AMAZING! The staff members watch attentively as a press prints and perforates all in one process. 49 L 1 1 Nursing- -A Licensed Vocational Nursing Program TO THE LIBRARY — Students end a long morn¬ ing in the hospitals.

Musical Notes Vocal, Instrumental Groups Present Talents ONE of the liveliest academic centers at SCC is the Music Department. Mr. Clive MefTord, who has been with the Col¬ lege since 1959, has devoted much of his time to the A Cappella and Madrigal Choirs. This semester A Cappella has eighty members. Chosen by audi¬ tion, these singers have performed at various local churches and also have sung with the Sacramento Symphony Orchestra. The Madrigal Choir (soon to be known as the Chamber Singers) is a smaller group of twenty-five students. They perform for Sacramento service clubs and community organizations. Both groups performed on May 10 for the Spring Concert and on June 6 they will take part in the Composers’ Symposium, a per¬ formance of original musical compositions of various local teachers. One of Mr. Clive Mef- ford’s compositions was included in this pro¬ gram. Under the direction of Mr. David Tucker, the Stage Band won first place in the Reno Stage Band Festival, March 11. The Concert Band has taken part in the Cali¬ fornia Music Educators Conference. They were featured in the annual Camellia Day parade, and the Memorial Day celebration. The Concert Band was featured in the Festival of Arts on May 25. The Symphonic Wind Ensemble has given a series of Concerts for elementary, junior high, and high school students in Sacramento as a cultural enlightenment aspect of the compensatory schools program. The Ensemble was featured in a TV Special “Patriotic Music” on Channel 10. O- SCCs 32nd Annual Tolo SOME MEMBERS of the Newman club get up a dance-step of their own.

TOLO (for the uninitiated) is that time of the year when the girl is required to ask the boy out on a date (and pay for it, too). Tolo has been in existence at City College since 1935. According to an issue of “The Pony Express” from that year, the custom first became popular in the universities of Oregon and Washington. Now it is well-known in high schools as well as colleges throughout the U.S. under various other names such as “Twirp,” and “Sadie Hawkins.” “AND the joint was a-rocking . . .” TOM NICKENS showing his date “how to do it.” Developing a sense of movement is an aim in and music. Once upon a time THE PROGRAM is designed for terminal students who are planning to become assistants and teachers of the pre-school children. Here, we see children who were guests of the students at a party given on campus recently. These students put into practice some of the theories they learn in the classroom. Individual expression in art is valuabl e to the pre-school child. 1 ! ! j ! I I I Basketball Valley Conference Final Standings w L Pet.

The season’s record, including non-league games, was seven victories and seven¬ teen defeats, one win out of ten tries in conference play. The spirit of Coach Jerry Anderson’s players in the face of their opponents’ skill and strength and a measure of bad bounces is illustrated in the closeness of the scores in many of the games this season. Stalwarts of the quintet this campaign were George Bradley, Manuel Tequida, Jerry Reece, Larry Sweitzer, Dale Metcalf, Joe Rogaski, and Rich Newton. 59 VERSATILE—Hurler A1 Simas (right) was the victor in the second game over Santa Rosa, 6-2, and in the win over Pasadena College, 3-0. In the championship series, he also batted in the cleanup position. 1967 Valley Conference Champions COACH DEL bandy’s baseball team has done it again! For the second year in a row they have taken the Valley Conference championship. After getting off to a slow start because of bad weather, the team came back by winning twelve straight games. The overall win-loss record of the team was 23-3 including a conference tally of 17 wins and 3 losses. The team has tied the conference record for games won. Six of the victories for City College were de¬ cided by one-run margins. The title was officially clinched by twin wins against San Joaquin Delta with scores of 8-3 and 6-2. The team has produced such major leaguers as: Buck Martinez, Chuck Heinrich, and Ken Hott- man, who all hit over .300 this season. Excellence on the mound, however, was the key to the Panther success. Ted Fitzpatrick, Greg Dvorak, and A1 Simas, aided by Gil Hilleary, provided the local nine with a top-flight hurling corps.

IN A HIGHLY SUSPENSEFUL, three-game series for the State JC baseball title on the State College diamond, the Panthers were edged two games to one by the Pasadena College nine. The new champions took the first and third games Friday and Saturday by scores of 5-3 (12- innings) and 2-1 in the finale. The SCC win, 3-0, came in the first game of the doubleheader, witnessed by 1,200 fans. Good Pitch, No Hit In Series The runner-up City College team made “all the plays” in the series, but their inability to hit consistently against the Lancer hurlers and a few untimely errors spelled the difference between two evenly matched teams. Enroute to the championship series, the black cats vanquished Allan Hancock College and Solano College for the regional title. Then Santa Rosa College bowed 6-2 and 2-1 in a home-and-home series. The twin victories gave the locals the North¬ ern California JC baseball title and a berth in the State playofTs, held in the northern part of the state this year. Panthers’ Play Dramatic Over-all, during the 1967 campaign the Panthers won 30 games and lost only 5. Their fighting spirit was characterized by several comeback wins, steady hurling, poise in the field, and hard-hitting. A great season! The Panthers are second best JC team in the State. WM. SLIDE, CAPTAIN—Second baseman Chuck Heinrich tallies one of the three runs against the Lancers in the second game of the series.

They also took third place in the Northern Western Junior College Tourna¬ ment in Fresno. The team had two men who won medals in the Valley Conference Tournament, Mike Hott- man, who took second, and Steve Lagarra, who took third place. 1967 GOLF SQUAD — Mike Hottman, Dave Lynch, Cary Ozanich, Mike Sheely, Steve Lagarra, Gordon Wilson.

Coach Earl Hoos’ mermen finished the swimming season with a league record of 2 wins and 3 losses and and a fourth-place finish in the Valley Conference. The team has produced such future Tarzans as: Dennis Cross, Keith Nishimura, and Tom Ehlert. Dennis Cross established a new City College record in the 100-yard dash with a time of 12.53 seconds in a meet with San Joaquin-Delta. Tom Ehlert took first place in the breast stroke in the last three meets of the season. Keith Nishimura finished the season leading the scoring with 45.25 points.

Almost every time the track team had a meet scheduled, it was a race against the weather. Even though nature was against our trackmen, the team still produced outstanding men such as Jim Edmond¬ son, sprints, long jump and triple jump; Tom Allen, sprints; Bob Martin, half-mile, 440; Bob Syas, 440; Jim Gibson, pole vault; Wayne Barbee, shot put; Dave Hamblen, mile and two-mile; Martin Dally, mile and two-mile; Mark Norman, mile; Tony Holbrook, hurdles; and Richard Given, discus.

ON APRIL 13, the Block S So¬ ciety presented its 10th Annual Boxing Show in the Men’s Gym, witnessed by a “small” crowd of 1500. Ed Scheid was named the out¬ standing boxer while “best bout” honors went to the Pom Chas- tain-Mike Hart fight. There was only one knock-out during the night: Erwin Newson knocked out Mike Vinson. GREETINGS — Charles Stowell meets to the head. Other bouts that night were: Tom Allen vs. Frank Chacon, Duke Schuering vs. Joe Schreiner, Charles Stowell vs. Bob Verdugo, Jonas Minton vs. Wayne Doud, Lou Rogers vs. Bob Washington.

Row Two: Jim Turner, Dan Schilling, Noel Hilliard, Coach Karl Byers. THE PANTHER gymnastics team of 1967 ended its season with a record of 6 wins and 4 losses. Coach Karl Byers’ boys defeated teams from such distin¬ guished schools as University of California at Davis, Sacramento State, and San Jose State College. The team’s average score per meet was 121 to an average of 117 points for its opponents. The team has produced such future Olympians as these high point men: Dan Schilling, team captain; lohn Sordi, and Gary Pozel. DAN SCHILLING — high-point man in action. M Women in Sports Intercollegiate Competition Sharpens Athletic Skills WHY must the male athletes of City College receive all the public attention? (In modern society, women are considered to be equal to men in almost every field, so why are women’s sports pushed back almost into oblivion?) The City College teams belong to a league of junior colleges which includes San Joaquin-Delta, Yuba, ARC, Modesto, Shasta, and Sierra. The lady Panthers also compete in non-league play against SSC, UC at Davis, and the University of Nevada. Participants in intercollegiate sports are elig¬ ible to belong to the Women’s Intercollegiate Sports Club. Wise takes part in the general activities of campus clubs, concluding each semes¬ ter with an awards banquet honoring outstanding players. see women may participate in intercollegiate sports for the required one-half unit of physical education credit per semester or may play on any team simply for recreation. The sports offered in the program are field hockey, volleyball, basketball, track and field events, badminton, tennis, and softball. Games are played on weekdays at 4:00 p.m, and Sports Days for each particular sport are held on Sat¬ urdays.
