FUNHOUSE — Despite the turmoil inside, as the Board
of Trustees and faculty struggle over which areas to cut,
peace regins on the outside. For decades students have
passed through the entrance to C Building for an
education in a nationally-acclaimed college. But now
the quality is threatened. — Courier photo by Don Pitzer

Hanson, Dawson Go In
AS Fills Two Positions
By Sharon Ching
Assistant News Editor
The Associated Students government filled vacancies in
the vice president of student service office and a member of
the Supreme Council. A replacement for the coordinator of
external affairs has not yet been selected. The board also
voted to sponsor a women’s book table in the quad.
Helen Hanson was chosen as the new vice president of
student services after former member, Doug Brown, re¬
signed from the position due to a conflict of interests.
Hanson, a full-time student, was vice president of the
Student Senate last year and is active with the swim team.
Because she is not working, Hanson believes she can devote
more time to her new job.
Dave Dawson will serve as the new member of the
Supreme Council. “He’s very studious. I think he can do a
good job,” said Richard Freeman, business affairs vice
president. Dawson, a member of the Circle
К
club and other
organizations, said, “I want to get more involved in school.
I feel that there are more things to be said.”
In regards to the job of coordinator of external affairs, AS
has not yet selected a replacement for this position. Because
of lack of communication, there was talk of possible
impeachment procedures for Mike Sandoval, former coordi¬
nator of external affairs. But the impeachment was never
carried out. The board decided to talk to Sandoval before
taking any action.
Upon communicating with him he resigned. “Personal
problems and not enough time” were the primary reasons
Sandoval gave for his resignation. Between being involved
with college work study and a full-time student, Sandoval
felt he could not devote all of his attention to AS. “I just
couldn’t find the time,” said Sandoval.
Lastly, the board decided to sponsor a book table in the
quad during Women’s Awareness Week, March 14-18. This
week will be celebrated by featuring various women’s issues
such as careers, religion, arts, education and health and
athletics. The table will consist of women’s literature from
the Page One Bookstore in Pasadena.
Women Prepare
For Celebration
Trustees Vote to Offer Summer Session, ADA
After reviewing the impact of not offering a 1983 summer intercession, the
Board of Trustees voted in favor of offering one summer session.
“The difference in offering or not offering summer school is $560,000 in
additional costs,” said John S. Madden, vice president for administrative
services. But the Board of Trustees was concerned that without a summer session
the lost 900 ADA would be difficult to make up in the fall and spring. “The state
allows us a certain ADA and if you are short of that, you will not be funded to the
fullest extent,” Madden said.
ADA is the student attendance count which provides the bulk of the income
from the state to run the college.
A task force report which reviewed the impact of the summer session,
recommended that from an instructional point of view, it should be retained
because “considering the impact of the elimination of the summer intersession on
students and the college, it appears that the district might well lose more in
funding than would be saved and would place a significant hardship on many
students.”
The report said for many students, the summer intersession provides the
opportunity to make up deficiencies or to get a head start on their programs,
which is an optional convenience, but for others, it is not in the optional category.
A number of curricula require more than two years-the LVN program, RN
program, Radiologic Technology program and Dental program. In addition, the
foreign student English orientation program is critical for students before taking
most regular college classes in the Fall.
