Trustees Terminate 23 Classified
By Gail Fostrey
and Stephen Williams
In order to save PCC $1 million, 57 classified
jobs will be eliminated July 1 by the Board of
Trustees, according to John Madden, vice
president for administrative services.
As a result 23 classified personnel will be
terminated with another 21 reassigned to other
areas. Three of the 57 positions will be saved by
funding from the Community Fee Services
Classes and the Vocational Education Act.
Retirements, resignations and vacant positions
account for the remaining 13 positions, said
Bernice Daitz, acting director of personnel.
Classified personnel including clerks, techni¬
cians, secretaries and skilled workers must be
given a 30 day notice prior to being laid off,
whereas the certificated needed to be notified
by March 15.
" The cuts will crimp our
operations considerably."
— MADDEN
The work load done by personnel in these
positions will be redistributed or eliminated,
since cuts in other areas have reduced the work
needed. The cuts “will still crimp our opera¬
tions considerably," said Madden.
The administrative services division will lose
six positions, business services, 15, instruction,
30, and student personnel services, six.
Although bumping rights do exist for classi¬
fied employees, Madden said, “the lay off was
so large and so close to the 30 day limit, that we
were forced to reassign people rather than give
them a choice of where to go, which was our
intent."
According to Daitz, the 23 laid off employees
have first rights to any job that becomes
available in their classification within the next
39 calendar months.
"We made the cuts in proportion to the
departments,” said Madden. "Each division
had a slice of the pie. It’s unfortunate, but
necessary to balance the budget."
"I'm very proud of the way
ISSU personnel have handled
themselves. "
—MOTHERSHEAD
In order to try to find more funding from the
state, Madden said the administration waited
until the last minute before making the de¬
cision.
“Most people were informed this could hap¬
pen, and it did.”
Alice Mothershead, representative for In¬
structional Support Service Unit (ISSU), said
she is very proud of the way ISSU personnel
have handled themselves. They haven’t put the
blame on the administration or the school.
According to Mothershead, “the real problem is
in Sacremento and Washington.”
Until our politicians realize the need for
funding educational programs, cutbacks like
PCC is experiencing will continue, she said.
Mothershead has called a meeting on June 14,
7 a.m, for all ISSU members who have received
layoff notifications to discuss their situation.

Community Colleges Struggle For Funds
Students ; Faculty Leave To Protest
By Michael Aguilar
Copy Editor
Trying to raise funds for PCC and all
community colleges, a group of stu¬
dents and faculty today at 2 p.m. will
protest at the offices of three southland
state legislators.
The offices of Newton Russell of
Glendale, Sally Tanner and Joseph
Montoya of El Monte will be presented
with a written statement which ur¬
gently requests an immediate bailout
for the 108 community colleges.
According to Dr. Robert Wright,
professor of communications, the
rallies will be held simultaneously at
all three offices. He hopes there will be
groups there from Glendale and Los
Angeles Community College districts.
Senate Bill 851 and Assembly Bill 150
have passed their respective houses,
but in order for them to take affect,
both houses must now go into con¬
ference to iron out differences. Wright
said “right now we don’t care which
bill takes affect, we need bail out
money.”
Wright also said “I want to make it
clear that this will not be a violent
rally, but merely to show our concern
over the plight of the community col¬
lege.”
In addition to the PCC delegation at
these locations, Wright said that rallies
are being held throughout the state at
various lawmaker's offices by groups
whose colleges lie in their district.
Wright said that “the chances of a
bill making it through both houses of
the state legislature look pretty good
right now” but added “this would only
be for the present, next year we will
have the same situation again.”
Wright also said that a delegation
from PCC will be sent to the Los
Angeles offices of Governor George
Deukmejian the week of June 5 through
June 10. “Governor Deukmejian has
given word that he may veto any
increase in taxes for public education.”
Wright said. “What we plan to do is
give his aide or secretary a written
statement urgently imploring him not
to veto any public education bill." He
said. At this meeting with the Gov¬
ernor's staff, Wright said that Glendale
and Rio Hondo Colleges will also send a
delegation.
One of the problems that face PCC
and the other 107 community colleges
in California is that the community
colleges by tradition have kept a low
profile in the public eye, according to
Wright. “Community colleges do not
enjoy the same concerns as those of
grades K-12 and the Cal State and
University of California systems en¬
joy.” He said.
Wright said that he has been in
contact with other state legislators,
and he has been encouraged by them to
continue to put pressure on the other
members of the State Senate and As¬
sembly.
Next year, plans are being made for
a Community College Crisis Con¬
ference to be held next May or June in
Sacramento. Wright hopes to have del¬
egates from all 108 California com¬
munity colleges in attendance in addi¬
tion to state legislators who will attend
and speak in some of the workshops.
Those interested in attending today’s
rally, should meet in parking lot 1
(corner of Hill and Colorado) by 1 p.m.
Transportation will be availiable in the
form of buses and carpools to the three
sites, they should return about 4 p.m.
Anyone needing more information
should contact Dr. Robert Wright at
578-7216 or Dr. Fredrick Holland at
578-7234.

SWEET HOME — This basement area under the A Building is
Pasadena man had apparently been living for two months. The
was arrested and taken to the Pasadena City Jail
Campus Security
Arrests Transient
By Sharon Ching
News Editor
A Pasadena man was arrested on campus May 24 and charged with “residing
on public property without proper authorization,” according to D. David Ward,
campus safety officer.
Ward and safety officer Joseph Daum found transient Robert Mares sleeping
In a secluded basement area under the A building. "He had been living there for
about two months,” said Ward.
Security suspected someone was residing here when electricians, who were
working under the A building, reported seeing personal belongings scattered
about. Items such as a blanket, rug, chair, empty wine bottles and cigarette butts
were found. “It was apparent that someone was living there,” said Ward.
This area, which is located below accounting classes and offices, contains
heater ducts and insolation pipes. Because the outer service door to this area is
always locked, Mares apparently crawled between pipes and beams to reach his
underground “home” for the first time. But from then on, Mares would only have
to leave the door unlocked when going out and pry it open when he returned,
concluded Ward. “We found footprints in the dirt and pry marks on the door."
According to Ward, last Tuesday was the third time in one month that PCC
security had to arrest Mares. Past charges include lewd conduct in a public place,
possession of alcohol on a community college campus and being intoxicated in
public.
Ward explained that possessing alcohol at PCC is different than it would be
at other campuses. “If this were UCLA, it wouldn’t be such a serious offense,
because alcohol is sold there.”
“We try not to arrest anyone if we don’t have to, but if they’re drunk we have
no choice. It’s our responsibility,” said Ward. “Their behavior disrupts the school,
students, everybody.”
Since the Mares incident, campus security inspects the underground area on
a regular basis. “We checked the area at least two or three times a day,” said
Ward. “We don’t want anyone else staying over there.”
Due to the “bad sanitary situation” that has developed, Ward said the area
would be cleaned and sprayed with chemicals to “kill all the bacteria and germs.”
Mares is currently being held in the Pasadena City Jail in lieu of $1,000 bail.
Mares could be jailed for up to six months if proven guilty of this offense and the
other charges.

Schedules Speakers
By Leann Sumner
Staff Writer
Dawn Unlimited presents Speakers
Showcase Tuesday, June 7 at 2: 30 in the
Circadean Room.
Five public speakers and workshop
leaders give a synopsis of the work¬
shops they conduct, "present materi¬
als, and sell themselves,” to program
directors from the Los Angeles area
and interested students, said Dawn
Carlough, showcase coordinator.
Carlough developed Speakers Show¬
case, which “enables the two sides
(public speakers and the program di¬
rectors who hire them) to get to¬
gether,” as a project for her public
relations class with Dorothy J. Kolts,
associate professor of communication.
“The showcase gives program direc¬
tors a place to shop for new workshop
leaders,” said Greg-Ellen Eldridge,
Carlough's project associate.
At the showcase, Terri Tanenbaum
discusses the workshops on rela¬
tionships which she and her husband
conduct. She “does not give pat an¬
swers” to the questions of her guests,
said Carlough. Tanenbaum discusses
balancing relationships between hus¬
band and wife, parent and child, and
business associates.
Linda Maxwell, fashion coordinator,
offers workshops which stress finding
one’s own style and colors, and dress¬
ing to express one's unique personality.
Michelle Lyons' 12 year weight prob¬
lem promted her “Lighten Up” work¬
shops, which teach dieters how to take
the struggle out of dieting. Lyons’
found that she lost weight when she
stopped struggling with dieting.
Jean Rountree also speaks about her
workshops on decorating and remodel¬
ing. Rountree began her career at J. P.
Stevens, where she developed product
lines and represented them across the
country. She is also author of “Parties
Without Panic.”
Lloyd Chulay’s travel programs
emphasize where to shop and where to
find bargains in foreign countries, and
how to bring how foreign customs and
cuisine. Chulay’s expertise stems from
extensive foreign travel with her hus¬
band, an independent film producer.
Program directors from Community
Services of City Colleges, from U.C.
Irvine and Cal State Northridge are
attending the showcase. The director of
special events at May Co., and program
directors from Parks and Recreation,
YMCA’s, YWCA’s, and women’s or¬
ganizations in the Los Angeles area are
also attending.
