MARCH 10. 1988
Senate Election Reset
By Sean DuPont
Associate News Editor
Proving that election problems are
not only limited to the A.S. Board,
the Faculty Senate has rescheduled
its nomination period after some
confusion and complaints from fac¬
ulty.
The nomination process has begun
anew with nominations now being
accepted for the posts of president,
vice president, secretary and treas¬
urer. Nominations now must be filed
by noon on March 25 with the elec¬
tions scheduled for April 21 and 22.
Jane Hallinger, president of the
Faculty Senate, said that three mem¬
bers of the board raised objections to
what they felt was a lack of time for
nominations. Hallinger answered by
explaining that forms may have been
lost in the public mail or may have
been lost in the shuffle during fall
finals. Although not required by the
senate’s constitution to change the
procedure, she decided Monday to
call for a new round of nominations.
Hallinger did not disclose the names
of the three members who raised the
objections.
Teachers present at the senate
meeting Monday were instructed to
post the nominating forms in the
department offices. Instuctors nomi¬
nated for the office of president or
vice president must submit a state¬
ment with their application as well as
the signatures of both the candidate
and the nominator. Hallinger in¬
structed members present that any
forms recieved after the noon dead¬
line on March 25 will not be accepted.
“I instructed the elections com¬
mittee to destroy the old ballots on
Monday,” said Hallinger. “We’re
starting from square one.”
The committee will be in charge of
processing the nominations and
counting the final ballots for the
posts. The committee’s four mem¬
bers are Bob Doud and Marjorie
Forsythe, social sciences represent-
ives, Wally Calvert from English and
foreign languages, and Harry
Kawahara, PCC representative to
the ASCCC Executive Board.
The officers elected to the Faculty
Senate will take office at the end of
June and will serve for one year.
According to the senate’s constitu¬
tion, nominees must be tenured or
certificated and have teaching as¬
signments of 75 percent or more.
During Monday’s meeting, Dr.
Enrique Orosco, representative from
the social sciences department,
pointed out that the senate’s constitu¬
tion provided for a two-day balloting
period and questioned the logistics of
fullfiling the requirement. Hallinger
proposed that the ballots for the April
election be sent through the mail
with enough time to ensure that all
voters would get the ballots before
the voting period.

News Editor
PCC will celebrate Women’s History
Month during March with many events
planned for students and faculty. The
purpose of Women’s History Month is
to expand awareness of women’s con¬
tributions to society and history.
“The philosophy of what we are
doing is to become more accessible to
the students,” said Connie Hurston,
student activities adviser. “We have
made the programs more student ori¬
entated."
The month will also spotlight a
number of women’s issues in specific
programs. Outstanding women on the
campus and in the community will also
be honored during the month.
Ernestine Moore, dean of student serv¬
ices and president of the Pasadena
Foothill Valley YWCA Board of Direc¬
tors, will be honored at the Second
Annual Women’s Scholarship and
Awards Luncheon on March 24 in the
Campus Center Lounge. Stephanie Ed¬
wards, host of KHJ’s Mid-Morning
L.A., Rose Parade commentator and
TV personality will be the keynote
speaker.
One of the goals of the luncheon will
be to create more scholarships. “Ide¬
ally what I want is to have scholarships
adopted in Moore's and Edward’s
names,” said Hurston.
Clubs will also choose an outstanding
female student member to be in¬
troduced at the luncheon. Reservations
are required by March 17 and the cost
is $15. Proceeds will benefit the
Women's Scholarship Fund.
Prior to the luncheon at 11 a.m., a
lecture entitled' Toward a Global Sis¬
terhood: The Challenge is Now will be
held in the Forum, Dr. Yolanda Moses,
dean of the School of Arts, Cal Poly,
Pomona, will present new understand¬
ings on the topic of “Global Sis¬
terhood.” She recently returned from
Nairabi, Kenya, where she attended
the United Nations’ Conference on
Women.
The projected budget for the month
is $4,617. It will cover such things as
$400 publicity, $1,300 for honoraria and
$400 for- decorations.
Corporate Associate Donations
Invest in Students and Future
By Coleen Meyers
Editor-in-Chief
PCC’s efforts to build ongoing in¬
volvement and support from business
organizations and corporations in the
community has resulted in the develop¬
ment of the corporate associate pro¬
gram.
"Community colleges don’t have the
funds to do all the things they want to
do so that is why this program was
formed. It will raise the much needed
unrestricted college funds,” said Dr.
William Goldmann. executive director
of the PCC foundation.
According to Goldmann, most dona¬
tions are given to fund a specific area
of the college. However, the un¬
restricted money this program will
collect can supply the faculty with
mini-grants or create additional schol¬
arships for students.
Data Tape was the first corporation
to join the program. Representative
Russell Frame presented Goldmann
with a $2,500 check at the Board of
Trustees meeting, March 3, to cover
Data Tape's yearly dues.
In return for the donation Data Tape
and other corporations which follow
will be provided with the services of
the campus corporate liaison office.
This office will connect associates to
numerous college services.
Seminars on computer technology,
writing and listening skills or stress
reduction can be organized for busi¬
nesses with PCC professors through
this office. And courses can be set up
specifically for corporations that be¬
lieve their employees need additional
training in specific areas. When a call
from a corporation comes in, PCC will
connect the business with the instruc¬
tor who will complete the further ar¬
rangements.
Corporations will also receive access
to all PCC’s library services including
the dialog database. This computer
program can provide businesses with
specific or highly technical information
within seconds. This saves them from
hiring someone to collect this informa-

Aqeel Furqan was arrested on a
charge of trespassing in the library last
Saturday at 10:49 a.m. Prior to his
arrest. Furqan had been reported act¬
ing suspiciously in the library on other
occasions.
According to Philip Mullendore, di¬
rector of campus police, he was in¬
terfering with library operations and
tion and saves them dollars. It will be
especially beneficial for businesses
that need the system only occasionally
or that are unable to afford the service.
The program will not only provide
the college with unrestricted monies,
but it will also open up job opportunites
to PCC students. PCC will help these
corporations find and screen prospec¬
tive employees.
“It makes a strong tie between busi¬
nesses and PCC. And lets the busi¬
nesses know that we have a lot of well-
trained students in the vocational as
well as occupational programs ready
for the job market and that PCC can be
an immediate source,” said Goldmann.
Before the end of 1988 Goldmann
acting like a “peeping tom.”
“We have been aware that there was
a problem prior to this incident,” said
Mullendore. “On March 2 a suspect
was seen in the library exposing
himself."
One of the workers, who asked to
remain anonymous, said when Furqan
walked in again, she recognized him as
the "peeping tom.”
“He has been here before, peeping in
between shelves and looking under the
tables," she said. “We were told that if
hopes to have 10 to 15 corporate as¬
sociate members. Then he wants to
produce a news letter to keep them
updated on the latest developments at
PCC and on the many courses offered.
This program is a support program
of the non-profit PCC foundation which
was established in 1979. Since its begin¬
ning the foundation has raised over two
million dollars in cash and in-kind
contributions. And the corporate as¬
sociate program is one more way to
help fund the needs of the college.
Corporate associate annual dues
vary according to corporation size.

security."
In a unrelated incident, a streaker
has been seen on campus. The campus
police are aware of the problem, but
have been unable to catch him.
The streaker is a black male who
runs around campus wearing nothing
but socks.
His last appearance was Saturday
morning at 9:50 a.m. between C and U
buildings.
Man Arrested for Trespassing in Library
New VP Named
To Student Board
By Sean DuPont
Associate News Editor
Yet another change has taken place
at the A.S. Board with the election of
Greg McLemore to executive vice
president.
McLemore was voted into the board
when the former vice president, Louis
Zamorano, resigned on Feb. 18. That
was the day before Zamorano left for
Oxford, England to participate in the
Study Abroad program. On Feb. 19
McLemore was approved for the post.
McLemore is the third person to be
appointed to the board in the last
several months. Jose Rodriguez was
named president when Lance Ob-
erholtzer resigned under pressure.
Mario Antonio, coordinator of external
affairs, quit after the board's first
meeting. She was replaced by David
Santana.
McLemore’s duties as executive vice
president include the presidency of
thelnterClub Council (ICC). He will
serve as president of the A.S. Board
when Rodriguez is unavailable and he
will accept assignments from
Rodriguez concerning school business.
“I was always involved with the ICC
and I was interested in running for a
position on the A.S. Board," McLemore
said. “When I heard that Louis was
leaving for Oxford, I let them know
that I wanted the post.”
Before his appointment, McLemore
was active in ICC through his member¬
ship in QSO, the amateur radio club on
campus. He held the post of treasurer
of ICC.
McLemore highlighted some pro¬
jects he is working on at the board. “I’d
like to see more clubs working together
to fulfill students’ needs. I'd also like to
see some student and faculty discounts
for the Kalidiscope Committee Educa¬
tion program."
McLemore also took the opportunity
to chart his future plans for office. “I’d
like to run for election next semester.”
Does that mean president? “That’s still
to be seen.”

conceived in 1948 by then-senior class president Dick Gray. It
contains the design of an olive branch, representng peace, and Lady
Liberty, representing freedom.
Fire Scorches a Student’s Car
But Leaves Nobody Injured
By Robert Nuno
Special Correspondent
A fire scorched PCC student’s car on
the northeast corner of campus in
parking lot 1 on Feb. 29 at 12:30 p.m.
The quick reactions of Police Cadet
Cynthia Mann avoided a disaster of
greater magnitude.
Mann first noticed the blaze at 12:33
p.m. when she saw smoke rising from
the parking lot. Realizing it was a fire,
she quickly notified campus police dis¬
patch which in turn had two PCC units
and a Pasadena Fire Department unit
at the scene in about five minutes.
By then, the flames raged above the
car and the dense smoke slowed the
east and west bound traffic on Colorado
Boulevard to a virtual standstill for a
few minutes due to poor visability.
Upon arriving, the firemen quickly
extinguished the fire within 10 minutes.
As a result of the immediate response
by all, the fire was confined to the
engine compartment. There were no
injuries. According to Captain Wiles of
the Pasadena Fire Department, the
fire was “moderately dangerous" to
the nearby vehicles and can be at¬
tributed to an electrical malfunction.
