Tomorrow is

11 -day fund drive for KPCC,

college’s public radio station. This
will be the fourth annual event to
raise money for station operations.
Station manager Larry Shirk esti¬
mated $90,000 was pledged during
the last fund drive. Program Direc¬
tor Larry Mantle said about $80,000
was actually received from those
making pledges. Mantle said that
money is an important resource for
KPCC.
Some premiums are offered for
pledges at certain dollar levels. These
include records, dinners at local
restaurants, Car Talk travel mugs
and personal FM radios decorated

plained that pledges for those premi¬

of the items. They are incentives for
those who might raise the level of
their pledge to get the premium.

Transfer Program
Helps Sophomores
Joe Yobaccio
Staff Writer
In order to help students wishing
to transfer, PCC has developed the
Transfer Alliance Program (TAP),
especially designed for students in¬
tending to transfer to UCLA.
. “TAP, although geared toward
UCLA, is useful in getting students
into
оЛег
UC schools,” said Dr.
Phyllis Mael, English professor and
TAP coordinator. “If
Ле
students
meet
Ле
UCLA requirements
Леу’ге
ready to go anywhere.”
To meet
Леве
requirements,
students must sign-up with eMer of
the counselors,
КаЛ1ееп
Hernandez
or Jacqueline Dodds, in D-216, and
complete
Ле
program requirements.
The Humanities Block Program,
offered every fall, is one of the re¬
quirements. There are also combi¬
nation or pair courses Aat students
can take, said Mael.
The block program offered tois
fall includes History 7A, English 1 A
and Humanities 1 . Wuh
Ле
excep¬
tion of English 1 A, classes are team-
taught, giving the students an inter¬
related curriculum.
The block program allows in¬
structors to give students different
perspectives on
Ле
material being
taught. Humanities, for instance, is
taught by a Philosophy and an Eng¬
lish instructor. As a result of this,
different schools of Aought are pre¬
sented to
Ле
students. Instructors
for
Ле
block program confer with
each
оЛег
regularly and teach the
students the interrelationships be¬
tween each subject, said Hernandez.
Mael said that students who trans¬
fer wiA TAP had higher GPA’s than
Лове
that transferred wMout TAP.
“The Transfer Alliance Program is
designed to provide students with
experience to help them when they
transfer so they will stay and get
their B. A. ’s.”
Students who complete TAP are
not guaranteed admission to UCLA,
but
Леу
are given priority consid¬
eration over
оЛег
transfer students,
said Hernandez.
Flea Market
Celebrates
Its 1 0th Year
Michael Rocha
News Editor
The name of its mascot says
it all. “Felicia Flea,” which
comes from the Latin word for
happy, has brought smiles to
the faces of thousands of people
who patronize PCC’s
топЛ1у
flea market.
For the past 10 years, Mary
Alice Fox and Alvar Kauti, dean
of student activities, has brought
“feliz” to the flea market’s
more than 400 vendors and its
10,000-plus patrons.
It all began in 1979 when a
group of three people put their
heads together and started what
is now known as the PCC Flea
Market, held every first Sun¬
day of the month on the col¬
lege’s parking lot on Hill and
Colorado.
And for
Ле
past ten years,
the flea market has carved its
niche in the college. It’s suc¬
cess has been compared to that
of the Rose Bowl Swap Meet,
the grand-daddy of all flea
markets.
The flea market was started
in 1979 by Tom Selinski,
Леп
AS president, Kauti and Fox.
Selinski and Kauti ap¬
proached Fox and asked her if
she wanted to help start a flea
market. When Fox agreed they
decided to move
