Library Faces Major Cuts
By Valerie Provines
Opinion Editor
The library is facing a major budget
cut which would seriously affect its
services. William K. Grainger, college
librarian, wanted the impending cuts
known so students can be aware of the
reasons for the inconveniences next
year.
“Next year’s budget is cut below last
year’s by $73,000,” said Grainger. “I
$73,000 in Reductions
percent. “But, the assistance needs for
students has gone up 41 percent,” he
said.
“This budget reduction will mean a
20.2 percent reduction in materials,”
he said. “This will mean a 40 percent
reduction in books we buy this year.
"This will mean a 40 percent reduction in books we
buy this year. This is not all due to budget cuts. Part
is due to price increases on books. "

just think that there should be a knowl¬
edge by students of the cuts.”
One effect is a 10 percent reduction
in library staff. This would slow down
the check-out service. He said that if
the situation came to it, the priority
system where one takes a number and
waits his turn is a possibility.
Book return bins would probably be
discontinued, he said. Another effect of
the cut is the library would have to
close earlier.
A major concern of Grainger’s is
that over a five-year period, the
certificated staff has been cut by 25

New Courier and Prism Editors Selected
Journalism advisers named Alejan¬
dro Spada Courier editor-in-chief for
the summer and fall semesters and
named Debbie Gehiken Prism maga¬
zine editor-in-chief.
Currently, Spada serves as Focus
editor. (Focus is a special supplement
to the Courier.) But, he is not new to
the Courier as he was the opinion and
managing editor for the Spring 1981
staff. Spada received a fifth place
award in the critical review writing
contest at the state Journalism As¬
sociation of Community Colleges
(JACC) resently held in Fresno.
When discussing his new position,
Spada said he looks forward to the
challenge of putting out the weekly
newspaper. “We plan to take a hard
look at our format and update it some¬
what. The first goal is keeping students
informed,” Spada said.
Ms. Gehiken is switching to the
magazine staff after completing a
semester as Courier associate opinion
editor and a semester as news editor.
This semester she received the Elks
Club and Women in Communications
scholarships along with taking a fifth
place in the news writing contest at the
state JACC conference.
“We’re working on a new concept for
the magazine, said Ms. Gehiken. “We
plan to have a graphic design student
involved in this project.” Prism is
distributed toward the end of the fall
semester.
The current staff wishes them both
the best of luck.

books because we won’t have the
money to send them to the bindery. So
the collection will deteriorate. We will
bind magazines and things such as the
Courier.”
Grainger said other library services
may have to be cut also. But the final
decision won’t be made until the budget
cuts are deterined.
“if me state lakes action,” said
Grainger, "there can be changes be¬
tween now and the final budget. If
funds become availabale, cuts will not
be so drastic.”
He said students need to know “you
just don’t go on with business as usual”
when a drastic cut such as this is made.
This is not all due to budget cuts. Part
is due to price increases on books. The
average hard-cover price of books is
over $25 across the nation.”
The cuts would entail a 9 percent
reduction in magazines. “We will drop
about 50 magazine subscriptions,” said
Grainger.
Fifty titles of magazine back issues
would be discontinued in the microfilm
department. Also, funds for binding
books would be cut 75 percent.
“In fact, we will not rebind wornout

FUNDS DECREASING — The library has not escaped the planned budget
cuts. Shorter hours and fewer books and magazines may result.
Avoid 'Holiday Rush'
See A Counselor Soon
By Renee Pelletier
Staff Writer
The end of the semester is nearing
and it is important that students make
the necessary preparations to ensure
an easy registration.
According to Ernestine Moore, dean
of counseling services, the various
counseling teams have had a “good
reponse" thus far with students avoid¬
ing a last minute rush to see a coun¬
selor.
The counseling teams plan to work
with a full staff right through finals
week. The office hours are from 8 a.m.
to 9 p.m. Appointments should be made
early because some of the counseling
teams are booked through the first
week of summer. To help the problem,
there are also counselors who are
“specifically assigned walk-ins,” Ms.
Moore said.
Starting June 23, all student person¬
nel services will decrease their office
hours from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The
counseling staff will also be limited for
the month of July and the first week in
August. The remaining staff will return
to their offices on Aug. 9.
Moore stressed that students plan¬
ning to register in August shouldn't
wait till the middle of August to see a
counselor. “They really should start
right now,” Moore said.
Priority numbers are available in
Sexson Auditorium until June 8 at 7
p.m. Registration times will be posted
all over campus starting June 11. Ac¬
cording to Mathew Lee, Admissions
and Records assistant, it is important
that students pick up their priority
numbers because it will enable the
administration “to get a feel for the
number of students” that will be at¬
tending next Fall.
A schedule is being built around the
number of students that pick up a
priority number. If a large proportion
of students do not pick up a priority
number, the estimate will be poor,
causing “correspondingly more con¬
fusion,” Lee said.
Nuclear Arms Protest Concert,
‘ Peace Sunday, ' Set Sunday
By Valerie Provines
Opinion Editor
Peace Sunday, June 6, is being
planned by the largest coalition of
peace and religious groups in Southern
California. The event is scheduled the
day before the opening of the second
United Nations special session on dis¬
armament. More than 80,000 people are
expected to attend Peace Sunday,
which will be' held in Pasadena at the
Rose Bowl.
At the U.N. special session, the
world’s representatives plan to discuss
bilateral actions to halt the nuclear
arms race.
Organizers of the event said it is the
largest gathering of persons concerned
with peace ever held in Southern Cali¬
fornia. Speakers include Patti Davis
(Reagan), Midge Costanza, Thelma
Adair and Reverend James Lawson.
Musical artists who are concerned with
the anti-nuclear movement will per¬
form. These include Stevie Wonder,
Linda Ronstadt, Joan Baez, Jackson
Browne, Graham Nash and others.
But promoters said the event
shouldn’t be billed as a “rock concert.”
Prior to the event, Pasadena will be
proclaimed “City of Peace” by Mayor
Loretta Glickman. A youth procession
will march in song from Rosemont
Pavillion to the Rose Bowl to open
Peace Sunday. A mass choir from Los
Angeles area churches will lead the
crowd in songs of peace. Plans are
underway for simultaneous singing of
“All Humanity Is One” in the Rose
Bowl, New York, Jerusalem, Tokyo
and other major cities through giant
screen reproduction.
Tickets may be purchased for $12.50
through Ticketron, Mutual and
Chargeline. Student discount tickets
are available in the Campus Center.
