AS SPONSORS SCHOLARSHIP
Since the Fall semester of
1997, the Student of the
Month Scholar Award has
rewarded a different student
each month with $125. Vice
President for Student Services
Marlond Taroreh conceived
this program at the beginning
of the year in hopes of better
inspiring students academi¬
cally. “Before, my position
only had two main responsi¬
bilities, the child development
program and the single parent
grant-that was my real inspi¬
ration for the scholar award,”
said Taroreh.
He allocated $1,000 from
his account at Pasadena City
College at the beginning of
the year to fund this program.
This award is unique in the
respect that Recipients are
determined by their perfor¬
mance in a particular month
instead of the whole year. The
determinants for the accolade
include evaluation forms filled
out by teachers and communi¬
ty service advisers. They are
not recommendation forms but
rather progress reports on the
student. Accomplishments in
the field of leadership and
completed projects and a one
page essay describing them¬
selves round out the rules.

KPCC Up
For Sale?
Campus officials may form a partnership with
Minnesota Public Radio to manage the station
By ROG€R CHENG
Sta ff Writer
The board of trustees is entertaining a pro-
oosal made bv Minnesota Public Radio to form
a partnership with the college to manage KPCC
radio, the campus station.
The proposal was made to the board on Nov.
18, and if approved, could be in effect as soon
as the beginning of next semester. The central
objective would be the formation of a new non¬
profit organization or limited liability partner¬
ship tentatively named Southern California
Public Radio. In doing so, MPR would shoul¬
der the radio station’s financial burden.
A new board of trustees would be set up to
manage the operations of the new corporation.
The college would select six of the 13 board
members, with MPR selecting the rest. This
new board would have the power to hire a pres¬
ident, CEO, and general manager, a position
currently being held by Cindy Young. The pres¬
ident, in turn, would have the power to hire a
new staff, which MPR has stated in its propos¬
al, would “include key existing KPCC staff.”
The plan gained an exceptional response
from the board. Dr. Richard Green rhetorically
asked of the presenter, “Is his real name is
William Kling, or Kris Kringle?”
However, Nina Javan, student trustee,
expressed her reservation about the number of
KPCC board members. “Kling said that there
would only be six members chosen by PCC,
and seven from MPR,” said Javan. This would
basically give MPR dominance in the power
structure.
Currently, the PCC board of trustees has
formed a KPCC subcommittee to decide
whether or not they should approve this plan. In
competition is another similar proposal, which
has been presented but is more ambiguous and
less definite.
Their intended budget outline has been cre-

seized the opportunity and fin¬
ished 15th with a time of 21:11
on a cool overcast day at the
Woodward Park Course.
“I like this course, it’s a com¬
