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.
