Advisory Committee Begins Reviewing Applicants
By Andre’ Coleman

The lengthy search for the new su-
perintendant-president is well under
way.
The Association of Community Col¬
lege Trustees (ACCT) is working in
conjunction with the Board of Trustees
and an advisory committee to select
the new superintendant-president.
On Oct. 27 the advisory committee,
which is made up of members of the
board, faculty, administration, staff
and students, held an orientation meet¬
ing to discuss its objectives. Shortly
after that, the committee received 15
recommendations from Dr. Marie
Martin and Dr. Joseph Dobbs, the
ACCT consultants. The 15 applicants
recommended to the advisory commit¬
tee came from a total of 50 completed
applications submitted before Oct. 17.
“There are a number of well quali¬
fied applicants with a great deal of
experience in the educational field,”
said student trustee Scott Svonkin. “We
will have a hard time selecting the new
president.”
The advisory committee is currently
in the process of familiarizing them¬
selves with the qualifications and
backrounds of the applicants.
“We’re carefully reviewing each of
the applications and their qualifica¬
tions,” said AS executive vice-presi¬
dent Brendon O’Brien.
Today the ACCT is expected to
provide backround information on the
candidates made through reference
checks. The advisory committee will
then work together with the ACCT and
the two groups will reduce the list of
finalists to five. Those five will be
recommendedto the Board of Trustees.
These candidates will be the subject of
an extensive investigation, which is
expected to last a minimum of two
weeks. The board also has the option to
consider other applicants aside from
those selected by the ACCT.
“We’re concerned only with the job
assigned. At this time we are not
looking at anyone else,” said O’Brien.
The results of the investigations are
expected to be made to the board on
Nov. 24 at a special board meeting. At
that time, the board will decide on the
candidates to be interviewed.
On Nov. 25 and 26, the campus
coordinator will set up appointments
for the candidates to be interviewed.
The following week the candidates will
be interviewed and the board will begin
planning visits to the campuses of the
successful candidates to see how well
the students and the administration got
along with the candidate. The commit¬
tee will also get some insight into the
kind of programs the candidate set up.
“I don’t think you can get a feeling
from an application without visiting the
campus,” said Svonkin.
After the campus visits, the board
will finalize their selection. The an¬
nouncement of the new college presi¬
dent is expected to be made on Dec. 18.
The new superintendant-president is
expected to begin work on Feb. 1, 1987.
The cost of the nationwide search
which began on June 5 is expected to
total over $10,000.

Cafeteria Student Chef
Considered ‘Grade A’
By John Willis
Editor in Chief
The prestigious Chef de Cuisine
Association presented PCC student
Juan Oyaga with a $500 check from
the Richard Morgan Scholarship
Fund last week for his work in the
Food Services department. Oyaga
is the first recipient of the award.
According to Morgan, Oyaga
merited the award because of his
“attitude and his desire to continue
in the food industry.”
“There is a great need for quali¬
fied cooks and chefs in this country
who are able to work from scratch.
Too many Americans consume con¬
venience or processed foods with a
lot of preservatives. We need to
return to the basics,” said Morgan.
The Chef de Cuisine Association,
which was founded in Southern
California in 1923, exists to help
promote high quality cuisine and
puts on several food showsand dem¬
onstrations each year. The most
prominent of these shows is the
Chef’s Carnival, which is sponsored
jointly by the CCA and the Rose¬
mary Guild of Pasadena.
Morgan chose to found a scholar¬
ship that would reward individuals
rather than institutions so as to
“provide an incentive (for a stu¬
dent) to continue,” rather than give
the money to a school where it
would be used for general purposes.
The Food Services department
has been existence on campus for
the past 11 years. The program
exists to prepare students for en¬
try-level positions such as assistant
chefs and management trainees.
The department operates, and is
responsible for, nearly all of the
food prepared in the cafeteria
daily.
This is Oyaga’s third semester in
the department. In addition to his
work on campus, he is employed at
the Lawry’s California Center and
is a member of the PCC cross
country team. Oyaga hopes to
transfer to Cal Poly Pomona next
year andobtain a job in the hotel
and restaurant industry.

ASB Appoints Supreme Council
By Andre’ Coleman
News Editor
Five students were appointed to the
Supreme Council and two as com¬
missioners for the fall semester by the
AS Board on Tuesday.
The five students named to the Su¬
preme Council are: Jose Rodriguez,
former council member and MEChA
president; Andrew A. Bravo,
Adelphian Big Brother and member of
the Circle
К
club; Lance S. Ob-
erholtzer, former vice-president of
Academic Affairs and a member of the
AS summer interim board; Timothy V.
Owens, former commissioner; and
Nellie Schneider, Hyannisport Club
member and former AS secretary.
Shauna Gilbert was appointed AS Sec¬
retary. Rodriguez was appointed Chief
Justice of the council.
“They are all very qualified,” said
Brendon O’Brien, AS executive vice-
president. “I think they will all per¬
form their duties excellently. We have
two people who ran for president and a
former president of MEChA.”
The two students appointed as com¬
missioners are: Regina Ringo as com-
missionerof the Physical Education de¬
part and Paul C. Mendez as com¬
missioner of the Business department.
Membership on the Supreme Council
requires a lot of responsibility. One
member of the council will serve on the
college grievance committee. The
council is also in charge of appointing
members to other college committees.
The Chief Justice operates as a liason
between the Supreme Council and the
AS executive board.
Ten commissioner positions remain
open. All 12 instructional departments
are represented by a commissioner.
Commissioners are appointed by de¬
partment chairmen. The positions are
open to students with a 3.0 GPA who
are currently enrolled with at least
nine units. Anyone interested in any of
the positions should pick up an applica¬
tion in CC204.
“Anyone who wants to get ex¬
perience in parliamentary procedure
and the opportunity to work in student
government and work on a variety of
different committees should sign up,”
said AS president Steve Amezola.
Honoring PCC's Ex-GI'son Veterans' Day
By John Willis
Editor in Chief
Hundreds of students pass by it
everyday without ever noticing it’s
there. Most don’t even know it exists.
Nestled among the vegetation next to
the Campus Center lies the PCC War
Memorial, dedicated to the PCC stu¬
dents killed during World War II. The
bronze medallion, which was designed
and created by PCC students, contains
the design of an olive branch, repre¬
senting peace, and Lady Liberty, repre¬
senting freedom. The lower half holds
the inscription: “Memorial to Pasa¬
dena City College students who served
their country in World War II.”
The memorial was conceived in the
spring of 1948 by then-senior class
president Dick Gray. The medallion
was a joint project of the entire student
body. Many campus organizations
donated their time to fundraising for
the memorial. The identity of the stu¬
dent who actually designed the medal¬
lion, however, has been lost.
The memorial was originally the
centerpiece of a “War Memorial
Court,” a 150 foot by 30 foot park,
complete with lawn and benches for
students. Since that time, the court has
been torn down and the medallion
moved three times. It was moved to its
present resting place, on the slope east
of the Campus Center, in 1969.
For many students, the holiday next
week will only be a day off from work
or school with no real meaning or
purpose. Sometimes a reminder is nec¬
essary to point out the true significance
of an event. The PCC War Memorial
reminds us that for the 216 students
killed in action, and for our country, the
cost of liberty is never cheap.
