The Board of Trustees adopted
the publication budget for the
1982-83 fiscal year recently and will
hold a public hearing prior to
approval of the adopted budget.
The board chambers will be open
August 12 at 7:30 p.m. for the
hearing.
Copies of the budget will be
available for public inspection Au¬
gust 2 through 4 at the PCC Li¬
brary and at public libraries within
the college’s service area. The
PCC Library is open from 9 a.m.
until noon.
Approval of the adopeted budget
is the final step in a process which
includes presentation of the
preliminary budget, and approval
of the tentative and publication
budgets.
Board members are expected to
make several recommendations
for cutbacks in the final budget at
the August 5 meeting. Several
classes have already been dropped
as credit course offerings from the
fall program to comply with re¬
cent state decisions and more
classes may be deleted as welk
Other programs the school offers
as community services, such as
the Child DevelopmentCenter,
may be reviewed.
Copies of the publication budget
will be placed for public viewing at
the Pasadena Main, Sierra Madre,
Arcadia, San Marino, La Canada,
Temple City, Rosemead, South
Pasadena and Altadena public li¬
braries.
Until recently, colleges were
required by state law to publish a
complete copy of the budget in the
local press before holding a public
hearing and approving a final
budget.

A total of 37 credit classes will
be deleted from the PCC fall
schedule. Many of these classes
are listed in the printed course
offerings handbook for fall. They
include many n a -
tional/international field studies
and physical education classes.
California Community Collges
are required by the state to
eliminate various recreational,
personal development and voca¬
tional classes from their fall offer¬
ings, said Steven Cerra, vice presi¬
dent for instruction.
In addition to the list prepared
by the state, community colleges
were also given the right to peti¬
tion certain classes for exemption.
This includes courses which are
requirements for students trans-
fering to four-year institutions,
such as the Cal State system.
Because PCC just received the
elimination list from the state, the

Jackie Robinson, former PCC
student and the first black player
in the major leagues, will have a
stamp issued in his name by the
United States Postal Service on
August 2, in Cooperstown, New
York.
Last Friday, Pasadena held its
own ceremony on the steps of the
Jackie Robinson center on North
Fair Oaks. The festivities were
held to commemorate the stamp
and present honors from the city,
county, PCC and other organiza¬
tions to the deceased baseball star
through his living siblings Mack
Robinson and Willa Mae Walker.
The event, hosted and sponsored
lists many classes as being of¬
fered. Although this is an inconvi-
nience for students Cerra said the
new registration system will be a
“saving grace." Because registra¬
tion will not start until August 16,
students will not be forced to re-

register because of dropped
classes. Many community colleges
have already registered their stu¬
dents into classes scheduled for
elimination.
According to Cerra, “PCC is
probably not going to be hurt as
much as other schools because we
have always been traditionally
conservative about letting recrea¬
tional, personal development and
vocational classes into our class
schedule. We will not be hurt as
much as some colleges in Orange
County.”
in part by the Jackie Robinson
American Legion post 252, was
attended by dignitaries such as
Mayor Loretta Glickman, and Don
Newcomb, director of community
relations for the L.A. Dodgers,
teammate of Jackie Robinson and
first black pitcher in the major
leagues.
Pastor A1 Hammond of the Scott
Methodist Church set the tone for
the ceremony in his invocation.
“We are here to honor a life that
has given so much to so many.”
Mayor Glickman presented a
proclamation to Willa Mae and
Mack from the City of Pasadena
honoring Jackie Robinson. In addi¬
tion, Glickman, who had just been
flown in from UCLA, Jackie’s
Many of the classes being
eliminated include “individual”
physical education classes, such as
hatha yoga, jogging, weight con¬
trol and archery. “The state has
narrowed its scope of offerings in
physical education,” said Cerra.
The cut reflects the “temper of the
times, because physical education
is becoming more team oriented.”
The elimination of the na¬
tional/international field studies
classes yvill have some effect on
the groups now traveling abroad.
With the demise of the program,
the teachers salaries and trip costs
will now have to be paid through
district expenses instead of
through the state budget, accord¬
ing to Cerra.
With the elimination of many
classes, some teachers will also
have to be let go. Cerra said that
although PCC’s first obligation
was to the contract teachers, any¬
thing that was still available would
obviously go to the hourly instruc¬
tors.

ing of the contract to bring the
UCLA Bruins to the Rose Bowl.
Elbie Hickambottom, president
of the Pasadena unified school
district presented a plaque, fol¬
lowed by John Madden, vice-presi¬
dent of administrative services for
PCC.
Guest speaker Don Newcomb
related many colorful anecdotes
from the times he and Jackie
shared with the Dodgers, then of
Brooklyfi. He also asked the ques¬
tions that were on many people’s
minds: Why did they have to wait
for Jackie to die before having a
ceremony such as this? Can great¬
ness only be realized after death?
