When Officer Takes a Coffee Break,
Board of Trustees Approves Green's $2 Million Fund-Raising Campaign
Initial Investment in Program Will Cost District Around $1 37,270
By Sharon Ching and Miran Rabadi
The Board of Trustees accepted the
PCC Foundation’s proposal of the $2
million fund-raising campaign to help
with the college's current shortfall.
"It looks like a worthwhile objective
and I think we should support it,” said
Dr. Richard H. Green. Trustee mem¬
ber.
The purpose of the campaign, which
will cost approximately $137,270, is to
‘‘restore possible cuts in faculty and
staff positions,” said Green. The foun¬
dation hopes to raise 20 percent by May
15, 50 percent by the end of the spring
semester and to have 97 percent of the
goal by the fall of 1983-84.
The endeavors of the campaign will
concentrate on three areas: major
gifts, special events and a “grass
roots” appeal.
A goal of $1 million is expected for
the major gift category. The foundation
hopes to gain funds through “challenge
grants.” Corporations, foundations and
individuals, are the “bulk of our rev¬
enue,” said Jeremiah Hand, chairman
of the Student Foundation.
The special event effort consisting of
phone-a-thons, radio-thons, garage
sales and benefit events is anticipated
to raise $600,000. These various pro¬
jects will need the assistance of “col¬
lege resources and volunteers,” said
David F. Hess, executive director of
the PCC Foundation.
The third point, the “grass roots”
appeal will “serve as an opportunity to
develop permanent support groups for
various college programs,” said Hess.
A $400,000 target is set for this appeal
which will continue through the entire
campaign. This appeal will require the
support of faculty, students, parents,
retirees and alumni. Green believes the
campaign would be “impossible”
without the help of these groups.
Furthermore, neighborhood maps
will be constructed in order for stu¬
dents to go door-to-door requesting
donations and contributions.
In addition to these concentrated
areas, three other standing committees
will be included. The first, automated
services, will supply computer hard¬
ware, and aid in the progress of soft¬
ware “to maintain permanent donor
records, mailing lists and specific ap¬
plications,” said Hess.
The public relations committee will
coordinate all media activities such as
producing banners, badges and other
printed data.
The third is the volunteer coordina¬
tion committee. The purpose of this
group is to inform and encourage peo¬
ple to take part in fund-raising ac¬
tivities, by volunteering their ideas and
or services. “There are a lot of people
out there with fantastic ideas.” said
Hand. He also believes that any sugges¬
tions could only benefit the college.
Anyone wishing to assist with the
campaign should contact the PCC
Foundation in F102. or call 792-1810.

The Faculty Senate Board voted in Jessie Moore of the women's physical
education department to serve on the Presidential Selection Advisory Committee
(PSAB), to select a successor to interim superintendent-president Dr. Stuart E.
Marsee.
She will join Faculty Senate Board President Dr. Fredrick E. Holland on the
advisory committee, representing Board of Trustees member Richard Green.
Hollandwill represent the Faculty Senate Board.
The PSAB is comprised of individuals representing the trustees and different
segments of the college. It will review resumes and applications previously
screened by two independent consultants hired by the trustees. Then, from the
committee's recommedations, the trustees will make its final selection
The two independent consultants are a community college trustee from
Missouri and Marie Martin, former president of Pierce College in Woodland Hills.
“I’m extremely pleased.” said Moore, who defeated Dr. Edward Ortell of the
business department in a run-off.
“I plan to work closely with all members of the faculty and Dr. Holland. I
don’t want to just represent my own ideas, but those held by other faculty to be
best for the college. My priorities must put the college first, then everything else
should fall into place,” she said.
Moore says her first step as a member of the advisory board will be to
“contact my colleagues on campus for their input.”
Holland says the advisory board has met three times so far to initiate
advertising for the open position. An ad was placed in the Chronicle of Higher
Education. The committee probably won't meet again until the applicants have
been screened by the consultants, said Holland.
Holland says the minimum criterion for applicants to pass the initial
screeningis to have a M.A., “though we prefer a doctorate. " and to have a
minimum of four years experience at a level equivalent to Dean.
Holland says his preference is for the applicant to have an extensive
academic background, “with a track record of successful dealings with faculty.”
Holland also says he expects the selection to be announced near the end of the
fiscal year.
“If we (the advisory board) do our job by the end of May. the trustees could
interview the finalist shortly thereafter and make an announcement,” he said.
Thirty full credit nine-week mini
courses ranging from English 1A to
Speech 1 will begin April 18 and end
June 18, according to Dr. Henry P.
Kirk, vice president of student serv¬
ices.
“These courses offer our students-
and the community a chance to pick up
an extra class or two,” said Kirk, “and
allows them to accelerate their

Students already enrolled in spring
classes need an add/drop form, while
students new to the spring semester
need a permit to register form. Regis¬
tration will be on a first come, first
served basis.
“We’re offering a nice variety of
courses in a variety of time slots,” said
Kirk. “These are high demand courses.
Athletes, people in student government
and those receiving financial aid have
an opportunity to meet unit require¬
ments," in case they have dropped
below the number of units needed to
remain eligible.
Course numbers one through 99 can
be transferred to the California State
University system. Others can be used
toward the AA degree.
Only five courses were to be offered
in the nine-week session, but more
were added to the program since the
college needs to catch up in ADA
(average daily attendance), which is
used to obtain money from the state.
When the ADA number gets larger
than the 14,098 limit set by the state,
classes must be cut, because no money
will be received for the instruction. If
we go below the figure, which we have
done now, courses will be added or the
college will not receive maximum in¬
come, Kirk said.
Dr. Frederick E. Holland, Faculty
Senate president believes the courses
will hopefully raise more than $100,000
for the college. “The mini courses are
good. If we didn't have them, we’d be
further in the hole (financially),” he
said.
However, Holland said, if the mini
courses do not fill, it may be more of a
problem to PCC, since it costs more
money to put the nine-week session
together.
Parking Gates Take a Break, Too
By Beverly Speakman
Staff Writer
Bill Johnson works for the campus security department in
the busiest parking lot at PCC, it’s also the only pay lot on
campus. When the toll gate malfunctions he fixes it and often
helps students pay the toll himself out of his own pocket. To
use the lot it costs 50 cents. “I give them change and about
99 percent of the students pay me back,” said Johnson.
When Johnson takes his break, the toll gate, which insures
that students pay for their use of the lot, is broken. The gate
may be broken two to four times a day. Trying to lift the gate
up students often break it and pay for the damages. “A gate
can be reused two to three times," he said. “They cost $25. a
piece.”
Johnson takes the broken pieces and screws them back on
for reuse. The students that frequently break the gate and
can’t be made to pay for the damages commit hit and runs,
as well as damaging private property.
“I think the sensitivity of people not caring is why the gate
is broken. They figure it's the school's, so to them it's just
one big joke,” he said about the continual breakage.
The lot has a capacity to hold 500 vehicles and because il
brings in revenue for PCC it will continue to be put to use.
Despite the damages done to it daily Johnson continues to
work in the lot and put the gate back up for use.
