Reality 101, KCC courses losing battle with budget ax By Tom Wade Kapi 'o Editor

Like a forest worker' s dull ax chipping through petrified wood, UH budget directives continue to slowly chop away at department funding. Departments are scram­bling to make ends meet with lim­ited resources and increasing en­rollments.

According to Faculty B'Jdget Committee member, Louise Pagotto, "The situation is forcing us to implement short term solu­tions to a problem which deserves long range vision." All departments will be affected by the shortfall and many faculty members will begin teaching more students with fewer resources.

Changes due to budget cuts as of April 25:

Humanities Fall 95 budget: $160,000 Number of courses cut: 7 Courses cut: 2 Art 101, 3 History 1511152, 1 Religion 150, 1 English Lit. 250 Seats provided: 3,745 Size increase: 2 student average Number of Writing Intensive courses: 16 (same as Spring 95) WI courses: 10 English Lit., 3 Art, 2 History 241, 1 American Studies 201 Social Sciences Fall 95 budget: N/ A Number of courses cut: 2 Courses cut: undecided Class size increase: 1 student aver­age (35 max. to 36 max.) Language Arts Fall 95 budget: $280,500 Number of courses cut: 19 Courses. cut: 3 English 100, 4 En­glish 22, 2 Eng. 10V, 1 Eng. 9V, 1

Eng. 21, 1 Eng. 55, 1 ESL 5, 1 Speech 151, 1 each of intermediate Korean, Tagalog, Spanish, Hawai­ian, Japanese Seats provided: 4,251 Increase in class size: Eng. 22-100 increase by 2, Eng. 9V and lOV increase by 3, lower level language classes increase by 1, upper level language classes increase by 2 Number of WI courses: 6 (same as spring 95) Math and Science Fall 95 budget: $388,320 Number of courses cut: 10 Courses cut: 1 Science 121 and lab, 1 Zoology 141 and lab, 1 Chemis­try 101, 3 Math 1, 1 Accelerated Math 1124, 1 Math 24 Math and Science (con't) Seats provided: 11,208 Class size increase: Math courses below 100 will be overbooked from the usual 30 student max. to 35 during early and regular registra­tion. During the add/drop period the maximum class size will be dropped to 25 students. Math and science courses 100 and over will increase by 3 students. Number of WI courses: none Nursing Although two instructor positions were allocated to other departments and the Queen Emma Foundation $600,000 grant for faculty and sup­plies ended this year, the Nursing Department hopes to keep the same number of instructors and students in clinical classes. Students, how­ever, will be paying for their own suppplies. Allied Health The program can not afford to cut any course from their curricula be­cause this would jeopardize accredi­tation and licensing. Department will struggle with how to pay for equipment repairs . Students will

have to pay for their supplies, which the department hopes to make a vail­able for purchase at the bookstore or through vendors . Emergency Medical Services No changes to medical programs. Department will maintain current course load througl1 next semester. Cuts will depend on amount of money available after the 1995 leg­islative session closes . Fiscal infor­mation will be provided through the Department of Health and not the UH system. Office Administration Technol­ogy (OAT) Like most departments, OAT will also be cutting back in areas, but at press time the department was not able to say what classes or areas would be cut. Business Education Because Tenny Tom, who teaches business law, and Amy S hinoki who teaches 10-key are retiring, the department will be losing two posi­tions. Plans are to hire someone in a non-lectured position to handle law, and to find a lecturer to replace Shinoki's position. Lecture money was slashed 50% for the Fall and Spring semesters with 11 courses falling victim to the budget ax. The following courses w~re cut from the sections '95-'96 schedule Fa111995 ACC 24 Prin. of Ace. 1, ACC 34 Income Tax Prep, ACC 36 Cost Accounting, ACC 37 Business Tax, ACC 201 Elem.

Fee increases suggested By Tom Wade Kapi 'o Editor

Modest student fees must be established across the curriculum to offset department costs to main­tain cunent levels of instruction, according to KCC's Budget Com­mittee.

In a memorandum to KCC De­partments and Faculty Senate mem­bers, Budget Committee Chair John Berestecky told his colleagues that ongoing budget cuts will force the college to examine ways of in­creasing all student fees.

If authorized, the student fees would not be excessive but appro­priate to the value and cost of ser­vices received while attending this school, said the Budget Commit­tee.

The school tuition and student activities and publication fees total $240 for a student enrolled in 12 or more uni ts. ButBerestecky said the cost of education is not being met by the fees and tuition currently being charged.

He said the committee will send a student fee resolution for the Board

of Regents no later than the end of this semester and expressed a seri­ous need for student feedback in helping resolve this budget di­lemma.

Studen.ts may contact Berestecky on campus in .Koki'o 106, or by calling 734-9123.

Fees are money students pay directly out of their pockets. The committee believes establishing modest costs would "foster a sense of respect for the educational op­portunities and services this col­lege offers."

"It's only responsible to begin looking for ways to make the cost of education more reflective, and have it be borne more by the stu­dents that take advantage of [the school system]."

"My sense is that a pretty large segment of our student population could afford to pay a little bit more," he said.

Berestecky said the results of this budget crunch will give people an opportunity to take a hard look at their money. "Maybe we'll (stu­dents and faculty) come out of this exercise a little bit stronger and a little bit more purposeful," he said.

Commentary 2 KAPI'O April25, 1995

Ancient acade~nic rituals gone past By Ruben Byrd Staff Writer

You know as I'm sitting here star­ing at the screen of this grossly pow­erful Mac, I can't help but feel a little bit of awe over all the cool edicational aids today's world gives us. The quality of learning a mod­ern student can get is way ahead of the pitiful conditions of the past.

I'm just speculating, but I think it's safe to say early education prob­ably went something like this:

Two Neolithic hunter-gatherer types huddled around a small ring of stones, the center of which is piled up with dead leaves and branches.

Oog, the teacher: (holding two

Only 44 donate blood

sticks) "Ya, see you rub them to­gether rapidly for a time and the red god escapes from the wood and vomits his pleasure onto the kin­dling."

Zeph, the student: (Clumsily holding the horizontal stick still and rubbing the vertical one up and down) "Do you mean like this?"

Oog: (Flustering) "No you stu­pidjerk! You'll never coax the god out of the wood with your clumsy ministrations" (Slamming a weighty rock repeatedly into Zeph 's head) "Idiot!" (Smash) "Slacker" (Crack) "lazy hippie freak" (Crunch) ...•

With the possible exception of some southern states teaching meth­odology has gotten a lot better.

Much of the formal education

that went on in the ancient world was religious in nature. Select Egyptian children were enrolled into schools where they were tau ght how to be priests . ("Aw man I can ' t believe that I didn ' t get into the Holy Pros­t.ration class. Now I'm stuck in Spirit Abjuration 112.") The early He­brews ran elementary schools for young boys of all social classes to learn how to read. The real motiva­tion behind the schools was they wanted all citizens to be capable of reading the Torah, to re-enforce re­ligion based control of the people. Still though, it was free school for everyone, so long as they possessed a penis (circumcised preferably.)

Sparta to be exact. When it comes to formal education for the masses, Sparta went all the way. Dedicated to building a purely mili­tary culture, the founding fathers of Sparta decided that everyone should . get into the act. First they killed any malformed infants so everyone could be of use as either soldiers or mothers of soldiers. Then, at the age of seven all male chilch·en began their schooling. At 12 they were trucked off to military school where they were forced to endure endless hours of training in warfare and ath­letics, lumpy beds, sadistic physical punishment, and to walk barefoot (may not seem like much but Greece is really rocky.) Anyway after age 18 the students were inducted into the army until they reached 60. The women of Sparta received similar training, only they didn't join the army. They just had to pump out babies to fill the ranks. Lucky them.

Well you know the Athenians, those lofty, highbrow, democratic types had an education system that was a lot better, Children could get an education at a private school. It was so cheap that even the very poor could afford it. The cunicula was a little heavy on the singing and jav­elin throwing, but still it was a step in the right direction.

Well, the Romans didn't improve the situation very much, being fix­ated on rhetoric and public speak­ing, their schools weren't so hot. So skipping them the next logical stop is the Dark Ages .

The closest thing to an education in Europe at the time, you got by shaving your head and donning a stinky old robe (Does that sound like your dad?) Monasteries back then

didn' t have a whole lot to offer in the way of amenities , but if you wanted to read there wasn' t a better option. The knowledge you got was splashed with generous helpings of God, but it was something. ·

Then round about the turn of the millennium universities started pop­ping up , places where the rich sent their sons to get the state of the art in education. Included in the deal when you graduated, to celebrate how much knowledge they stuffed into your head (and thi·s· being the middle ages it was mostly wrong) they killed a sheep, ripped off its skin, scraped it clean, had another brainy type scrawl on it how smart you were and wherever you went in Europe you could whip out that nappy old sheepskin and have tan­gible proof for how much brains you were lugging around. A fine tradi­tion that continues to this day.

Which makes me think about how good a situation we have with the school system now. An elemen­tary education is a right, and a higher education is accessible to most. All sorts of people of every class now go to college. From those seeking education to realize their dreams to weenies who just wanna wave that sheepskin in some employers face to get that cushy job they ' ve been dreaming about. Aside from our third world educational standards (I wonder how many Hawai'i students can't locate Oahu on a map?), grossly underpaid teachers (baseball players get paid more .. . does this dis­turb anyone else?), and a total lack of teaching Esperanto in public schools, we are way ahead of the past.

Campus News KAPI'O April25, 1995 3

An invitation to plan for the future of KCC Dear Students, Staff, and Faculty of KCC:

As classroom instructors, we are concerned about the next decade of learn­ing and teaching at KCC. What are the new directions, and how will they be established? We are certain that what is right for our college cannot be de­cided without significant input by students, staff, and faculty.

Presently, grassroots ideas don't always make it from the workroom, the classroom, or the cafeteria to the offices of our decision makers; sometimes ideas get filtered along the way. But it is essential that faculty, staff, and students directly communicate their ideas to KCC's decision makers.

We therefore propose alternate "ways of working" that provide our col­lege with grassroots input into the future of education at KCC.

PROPOSAL FOR A CAMPUS-WIDE RETREAT SERIES As a departure point, we offer a preliminary design for a year-long series

of one-day cross-campus retreats attended by volunteer students, faculty, and staff during the 1995- 1996 academic year. Broad-based exchanges on topics generated by participants will form the agenda for all activities in the retreat series.

The retreat series can serve as an additional, independent source of thought and vision for shaping education at the College over the next 10 years .

Another goal of the series is to expand positiv~ relationships and "ways of working" between staff, faculty, and students, thus deepening the sense of community on our campus. We hope the series also will address the increas­ing reports made to us about the lack of conneo..:tedness some students feel at KCC.

The existing working groups and channels of communication (such as the Dean's Advisory Committee, the Provost's Advisory Council, the Fac­ulty Senate, the Academic Development Plan team, and Student Congress) receive input, but they generally are organized along departmental lines. Yet·the recent accreditation team's recommendations suggest the limitations 9f vertical communication and of departments working "in isolation rather than in tandem."

This isolation has occurred, we think, because our campus has grown in complexity,.g.eography, and size without any new linkages to meet those changes. Under these conditions, it' is difficult to nurture the cross-fertiliza­tion that often leads to innovation, creative problem solving, and visionary planning. That kind of thinking arises when people across the campus work, dream, and create collaboratively.

Offering a new opportunity to work together, the retreat series can be a rich source of ideas for KCC's future, especially those directly affecting learning, teaching, the overall curriculum and its underlying tenets and de­liveries.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We hope that once you have read the proposal and its history, you will

want to participate. Please complete and return the response form below to either one of our

mailboxes in Kalia 101 so that we can get started. Taking our direction from the retreat planning committee, our role will

be to coordinate the logistics and record the series proceedings; we have not asked for either a stipend or a reduction of workload for this work. The retreat series may not be the best vehicle, but we think it is one good way for faculty, students, and staff to reflectively build a vision of KCC's future. No doubt the retreat series will evolve as more participants help to shape it.

The budget may be hopeless, but KCC's students, staff, and faculty are awesome. Komo mai kau rna puna hoe.

A Proposal for Cross-College Retreats

The goals of the cross-college retreat series are to (1 ) to design a new, legitimate channel of communication between faculty and with the administration at KCC; (2) to contribute purposefully and creatively to the future planning for learning and teaching over the next ten years at the College.

WHO? All volunteer Full-time and Part-time faculty (for our pmposes faculty" is defined as classroom instruc­tors, counselors, learning/teaching support specialists and staff) ; volunteer students not representing student govern­ment, clubs, or Student Activities; administrators, chairs, and DPC members are excluded from tbese sessions ; sepa­rate retreat sessions will be ananged for administrators and faculty serving in quasi-administrative roles. Everyone volunteering is invited to attend one retreat session and the culminating session; to insure diversity of groups, al­though faculty and student participants will identify preferred dates, each participant will be assigned a specific session.

WHAT? A series of day-long retreats (Saturday or Sunday) occurring over a year, beginning in the fall (1995?). The first two hours of the morning sessions will allow faculty participants and student participants to separately air concerns. In the remaining hours, faculty and students together will develop suggestions for future directions/innova­tions. Ideas generated will be recorded anonymously. All participants will agree to keep their perspective on the future (other parameters to be developed).

Pre-retreat "sherry hours" can provide forums for faculty and students only to informally air ideas before each retreat session. These forums also may provide a means of involvement for faculty and students who cannot/will not participate· in the one-day or culminating retreat. Participants may attend as many forums as desired. Ideas generated at the "sherry hours" will be recorded anonymously. Results from forums, to be circulated via E-Mail or by other means to the entire campus, will be one way to identify topics at retreat sessions .

The series will culminate with a weekend retreat, Saturday and Sunday, before Spring Break. Students, adminis­trators, DPC members, and department chairs will be asked and encouraged to participate.

WHEN? Six times during the year beginning fall (1995?) involving at each session approximately 50 different participants representing KCC's diversity.

WHERE? Off-campus for all retreats (a windward side beach house has been offered for all but one session); Camp Mokuleia for the weekend retreat. [NOTE: Since the budget crisis occurred while this draft was circulating, we will agree to search for a non-cost/low-cost site for the culminating retreat.]

HOW? Retreat series to be planned and conducted by KCC faculty. There will be a call for large, far-reaching membership on the retreat planning committee.

WHY? The future directions of KCC's curriculum, of learning and teaching in the next decade, require innova­tive, creative, and broadly based faculty-generated thinking. The College is often perceived as large, department­centered, hierarchically structured, and sometimes fragmented. Many faculty are unknown to one another. Currently there is no campus-wide mechanism for concerted, big picture thinking or the follow-up needed to move these ideas forward. Ideas and projects are often developed in isolation from other departments or disciplines, so integration is not always developed, and potential interconnections are lost.

We support the accreditation team's suggestions to create another channel for communication in addition to those established. Faculty can innovate and paint big pictures when they are supported, rewarded, and given time to let their imaginative, positive energies work in concert with other colleagues, in a free flowing environment. We cannot underestimate the value of individual students in our efforts to get it right. We want to talk the talk and walk the walk.

We look forward to your response to our proposal and hope that you will be meeting soon with any of us to discuss the possibilities.

HISTORY OF THE PROPOSAL FOR CAMPUS-WIDE RETREATS

On January 25, Irena and Louise sent a memo to Dean of Instruction Leon Richards outlining a number of sugges­tions for encouraging more communication and community at KCC. In early February they sent a letter to Mike Tagawa, John Cole, John Berestecky, Trude Pang, Bert Kimura, Kauka De Silva, Frank Leake, M.J. Haverly, and Steve Wehrman asking for their support for the campus retreat series. The proposal was not a response to the Chancellor's call for a futures initiative.

On February 14, with suggested changes and eleven signatures, a memo to the Dean of Instruction described the goals, rationale for, and description of the retreat series. At that time, a copy of the memo was sent to the Faculty Senate Chair Nancy Bushnell, who has been informed along the way. The proposal received warm support and a response from the Senate is anticipated.

By Aprill9, KCC's administrators acknowledged the proposal. Provost Morton said that the series will "facili tate broad-based input on issues ... of crucial concern for the present and future .... " Dean Ohara said that the proposal encourages student input on issues relevant to students. In his acknowledgement, Dean Richards stated, "There is a definite need for such an approach." All three strongly encourage participation.

Three changes have occurred since the memo to Dean Richards. 1) Wini Au has provided additional suggestions for increasing student participation, which will

be incorporated. 2) In response to further suggestions, Department Personnel Committee (DPC) members will be invited to the faculty retreats rather than to administrator retreats. 3) The anonymous proceedings of all retreat activities will be sent directly to the campus and the Chancellor's futures commission. 4) A second beach· house, this one on the north shore, has been offered for some of the retreat sessions (perhaps for the culminating retreat).

Library services to be trimmed Heikki Akiona Kapi'o Editor

KCC library will face difficult decisions because of budget cuts. According to head librarian, Teny Webb, library hours will be un­changed, but service reductions are likely. The number of students hired to work in the library will be cut, im­pacting service for reserve and AV materials. Since the library relies heavily on students for running the fro nt desk, many front desk duties will fall to the full-time staff, who also have other duties.

There will be little money to or­der materials like books and videos and subscriptions of some maga­zines and journals will be canceled to help save money. Reserve mate­rials may be put on open stacks to alleviate the problems caused by stu­dent staff reductions. Interlibrary loans may be affected as well.

This summer, fines will be lev­ied for overdue books. Discussions about library fines at KCC started about four years ago and are being instituted as an incentive to get books back when they are due. The fees for overdue books will be $.25 per day, but there will be a seven day grace period before late charges ar¢ implemented. The only other fee's collected by the library are for lost books and library cards. These fees may be a source of money to buy new materials along with donations

from Asian Pacific sources such as the Char Endowment and the Japan Foundation, which just granted money for the library to purchase new books. The library will also re­ceive books for the Japan Collection and for Asian studies from the J a­pan Forum and other external sources.

New copy machines , which will hold more paper and have beveled surfaces for easier copying of hard­to-flatten texts, will be leased. The copy machines costs will be handled through user fees . There is an agree­ment with Student Congress to sub­sidize a cost over run but this option has never been exercised.

Saul Slatoff, one of the reference librarians, will retire at the end of the semester. Besides being a refer­ence librarian, he also does biblio­graphic work, provides library ori­entation for classes, selects book to be ordered and gifts to the library that are appropriate for addition to the KCC collection. He also repre­sents the library in school meetings. A new reference librarian will be added as soon as possible and other staff members will have take .over responsibilities that Slatoff has.

Webb said the library is trying to save every penny it can by evaluat­ing all expenditures of the library and is willing to reduce book buy­ing to save money to hire student help. "Hopefully something good will come out of the budget cuts, like new ways to do things," he said.

JOBS mothers join forces Fstee Tanaka

. Kapi 'o Editor

Following the anoouncement that the JOBS program will now require partici­pants to work an additional 16 hours a week on top ofbeing a full-time student and a full time mother, five KCC stu­dents have gotten together to form a coalition called Mothers and Children Against Poverty Coalition. (A group which intends to achieve and protect the rights of JOBS participants.)

The MCAP is in the process of be­

coming a non-profit organization and

has hopes of reaching a fair compromise in regards to JOBS requirements.

The JOBS handbook states that JOBS participants have the light to an individualized assessment to ensme that the needs of the family are considered and appropriate activities are selected Participants in the program each have different needs and circumstances, but the new requirements are the same for everyone:. No 'exceptions.

The handbook also states' that par­ticipants have the right to reject any emplo~t that would lead to a net loss of cash income. MCAP wrote a letter to,

JOBS coordinator Gary Kemp about this and is still waiting for a response.

Presently, the MCAP is researching information regarding the lights 'andre­sponsibilities under the JOBS program, but in the future, they hope to deal with all the issues that affect the poor of pa­per. "And not the poor of heart or spilit."

said the members. Meetings are held on Wednesdays

in Ohia 104 at 2:30 p.m. For Irore in­formation, contact Priscilla at 834-0662 or KCC Single Parents and Homemak­ers program coordinator, Cathy Wehrman at 734-9500.

Walk-up replaces mail-in registration Walk-Up Registration with Mail-In/Drop-Off Option: June 1- June 22

Students should register at the time assigned on the front of their registration form or later. If they are unable to register in person or regis­ter at their assigned time, they will have the option of dropping off or mailing in their registration form.

Dropped off and mailed-in forms will be processed by the Records Office on the ·day received or on the day scheduled for registra­tion, whichever is later. These dropped-off or mailed-in forms will be processed each day after the walk-up registration has closed. Registration Hours: DAILY: 9-11 a.m. & 1-3 p.m. EVENINGS: Three .nights of evenin·g registration wi~l be sched­uled. Evening registration will be restricted to students who want only evening & weekend classes. Registration Priority:

Registration priority will be based upon categories of total cred­its earned at Kapi'olani Conununity College (DQ1 including transfer cred­its). Credits for which the student is enrolled during the semester when the registration times are assigned and the forms are printed will not be included in the determi':Jation of pri­ority.

The following registration groups have been created with the follow­ing priority:

KCC Earned Credits %of Total Stu­dents Registration Priority

45+ 20% 30-44 13% 15- 29 17% 0- 14 50%

1st 2nd 3rd 4th

Within each registration group a random sequencing will be used to assign individual registration times. The sequencing will probably be

. based on the last name and will change each semester. Credit Limitations:

In order to make the limited. num­ber of classes available to more stu­dents, a maximum credit load of 16 credits will be established for Early Registration and Regular Reg­istration. Ex~eptions will only be made for students who need the credits to graduate that semester, or for current Health Education majors, when the additional credits are a pro­gram requirement. Exceptions will require the approval signature of a counselor and will not be made for the reason that the student is capable of successfully completing the courses. The credit limit will be raised to 19 credits during Late Reg­istration/Change of Registration.

Change of Registration and Withdrawals:

Change of registration (add and drop) for Early Registration will be eliminated. Students who chose to mail-in or drop off would have to . "take their chances" and use the late/ change period in August to make changes or add classes. Students will be allowed to do withdrawals (without adds) continuously.

Payment: Payment will be due on the day

the student registers. For dropped­off or mailed-in registrations, pay­ment will be due upon receipt of the invoice.

Registration for students on probation:

·Students on probation and se­lected non-liberal arts majors will be able to report to counseling offices at their assigned registration times to be advised and registered.

Walk-up Registration KCC's new walk-up registration

will allow counselors the opportu­nity to provide probationary students with one-on-one advising as well as registration at the students' sched­uled registration times.

The new procedures give stu­dents a chance to work with coun-

selors in assessing problems they may have encountered in the past, planning strategies to successfully overcome these problems, and- se­lecting appropriate course schedules.

Because time with counselors will be very limited during the June 1-22 registration period, students are urged to make appointments now for academic advising to pre­pare for the Fall 1995 registration .

Registration Sites The following is a list of majors

and the~r appropriate registration sites:

Course Selection Tips BE PREPARED: select cours~s

that match your math, reading and writing skills.

BE PLANFUL: determine how much time you can regularly devote to your studies; figure out how many hours you spend at work, with fam­ily, on difficult courses, and on other responsibilities. . BE REALISTIC: plan to enroll

in courses based on the amount of time available: to commit to school (in class and out of class studies); e.g. if you work between 15-20 hours a week, you should take no more than three courses; if you work full-time, take no more than one course; plan on spending '6:.9 hours a week study time per course. .

BE READY: if you need to learn .. better college study skills, ask for

help. ' BE FOCUSED: what does col­

lege mean to you; why are you' here; what would you like to major in? What are you career goals? Ask the counselor for career counseling as­sistance.

BE AWARE: learn about the col­lege academic policies and proce­dures that help you not only survive, but become more successful-with­drawal policies and deadlines; com­puting your GPA; and credit/no credit enrollment.

HERN Institute to access learning resources in cyberspace By Tom Wade Kapi 'o Editor

Hawai 'i teachers will learn how to integrate learning resources on­line this summer during the Hawaii Education and Research Network Institute (HERN).

The workshop will be held at Kapi'olani Community College from July 9-22 and will bring to­gether community college and K-12 teachers working with various inter­active hypermedia applications via the Internet.

HERN's purpose will be to "en­courage teachers to learn what's out there on the Internet and to ask them to integrate it into what they do in their curriculums," said Institute fa­cilitator and KCC instructor, Judith Kirkpatrick.

Kirkpatrick, who has been living a dream come true since the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded HERN $2 .1 million to fund the three-year research project, said the Institute anticipates 175 teachers representing various disciplines from throughout the state including every community college. A $900 stipend will be paid to each partici­pant who completes the summer In­stitute.

During the Institute each teacher will have an opportunity to design a plan for incorporating computer net­worked technology in a class (or other learning environment) in the Fall 1995. The hope is for teachers to start envisioning things that are going on in their field so they could see what might be useful for teach­ing, said Kirkpatrick.

The Pacific Rim 'link'

J r , :.1

By Tom Wade Kapi 'o Editor

"It's just people working to­gether," said Sam Epstein, dividing "real-time" between Santa Cruz and O'ahu, seemingly content spending most virtual time connected to friends "on-the-rim."

The trans-Pacific Rim, that is. Japan, Seattle, San Francisco and

L.A .. Epstein's friends are every­where from Anchorage to Australia - delivering electronic messages to one another, hyper-connected any­where, and everywhere, on-line.

Connectivity is the bottom line for people like Epstein. While his colleagues describe him as a "web­master," this somewhat-hip '90s computer~ude prefers to stay out of the picture (literally!), seeking only to promote on-line access for all t~e people, and not just the privi­leged few.

Sliding into the office of KCC instructor Judy Kirkpatrick the other day, Epstein was a picture in cool. The boiled-down-unkept-face of a person more concerned with sub­stance than shave, Epstein seemed locked in cyberspace. And for the moment, virtually unknown. A mountainous moss meandered just below the brow, glasses, green aloha shirt, black-zippered pants - this guy made MIT read like Missing­In-Time. But while listening the message became clear : If Internet were constructed by the people then it should be made available for the

the next killer applica-tion is connectivity. Connecting people with each other so they can figure out whatever the hell they want to talk about," he said.

And when he says "they," Epstein means anybody that can get con­nected to the Internet.

Epstein's company, Sense Media Network, which has been around now since 1986, likes to take avail­able computer technology and make it more accessible so people can in­teract more effectively. If his vision continues to grow, the power of the Internet someday will be made avail­able to everyone wanting, or need­ing, access on-line.

"What we've decided to do is connect people directly to the Internet." And it's really affordable said Epstein . For a mere twenty bucks a month, his service will al­low people to send and receive e­mail, interact with people in "real­time" parts of the world, look at pic­tures that people have provided, and things like that.

These days most people con­nected are involved in something called World Wide Web (WWW).

One of the things the Institute will encourage will be for teachers to take the knowledge back to their schools and become campus leaders who can answer a wide variety uf questions while further transform­ing educational opportunities via the Internet.

Kirkpatrick said that with HERN support teachers will receive help in giving workshops and sharing infor­mation on the Internet.

In March of this semester appli­cations were sent out to prospective participants across the state. The application asked people to briefly describe the project their "team" would develop and hopefully imple­ment during the corning school year. Since then invitations to the Insti­tute have been sent out with accep­tance due in writing at the HERN

WWW allows people all over the world to exchange information on­line. Epstein's company, however, specializes in something called Lo­cal Web. What it does is allow people

in local areas to provide infor­mation about local stuff,

for local people. "Everybody

has a message," said Epstein,

so Local Web fo­cuses on r 1 e a I w or 1 d applica­tions, in areal lo­cal way. Hiscom­

p a n y wants to

see artists and athletes,

musicians and writers get their

message onto the local scene creating more inter-

est with like-minded people. One of the programs they offer

to certain community groups is free connection on the Internet and free space on their web server to publish information over the Internet. High schools, for instance, can publish their student newspaper on-line for the entire world to see, as well as the local community.

"We think that publishing on the Internet using WWW is a real good thing," he said. ''It means you don't have to kill trees in order to print your newspaper, and it allows people to exchange more then just text."

Local Web gives the local artist an opportunity to deliver pictures and paintings, music and melodies right on-line. Musicians can load sound onto the web which can be lis­tened to locally in the "real" world, or virtually in places like Moscow.

Make no bones about it, the pri­mary mission of Sense Media Net­work is to get information out of the hands of the few and into the hands of the many. The company seems destined to bridge the widening multicultural gap and Epstein sees the Hawaiian islands as a natural test bed for resolving many of the worlds

office by May 10. Invitations for al­ternate participants will be mailed May 15 with the Institute beginning July 9.

Summer workshops in cyberspace are becoming the new and different way for teachers to work together on-line. And although this year's Institute is still in the plan­ning stage, Kirkpatrick said most of the people she talks to about HERN are really excited about the possibili­ties to access technology applicable to the teachers' needs.

Will the Institute be successful? Time will only tell. But at the end of the Fall 1995 semester participants will be asked to submit a written re­port on-line assessing their work during this time period. Participants will include a needs assessment based upon information learned at

problems on-line. His company's server provides a transla~ion service so people can interact with each other multiculturally, in "real-time," around the world.

"I think there are a lot of people out there using computers to control large groups of people that don ' t have the same access to technology, and if they did they wouldn' t be as easily controlled," he said.

With Epstein, the problem is re­ally clear. When you don't distrib­ute the foad evenly you end up cre­ating·a bottleneck. And, because it's a common law of physics, " no mat­ter how much you try and extend the bottleneck, things still jam up," he said.

Back in 1994, Epstein's group was involved in Cyber Tour '94. The Electronic Frontier Foundation hosted an event using Sense Media servers and throughout the Pacific Rim and Europe a collection of serv­ers were connected through a virtual network joining 1,200 people to dis­cuss Carnegie-Mellon University's wanting to censor groups on-line.

This was not a drill. And the uni­versity backed off.

Since then, Sense Media has taken the technology and con­structed a network providing access for people to discuss whatever, whenever, and with whoever. Imag­ine a mini-U.N. Assembly, but us­ing virtual aspects connecting all people, and not just a select few.

So Epstein is in Hawaii on "real­time" to try and distribute the load. He is establishing permanent busi­ness here, and hopes to eventually reach the entire trans-Pacific hub. His goal is to bring people together who are having similar problems and create similar solutions. He agrees that centralized government isn't al­ways the best way to handle local problems and often gets in the way of local progress. And while people are basically the same ...

"Everybody doesn't require the same school lunch," said Epstein. "Kids don't like poi in Illinois."

Sense Media Network can be connected at WWW URL http:// sense media.net/

the Institute and implemented that semester.

Workshops sugges t work . But Kirkpatrick said the Institute will be "a combination of intense [work]. and a lot of fun."

She said most people will not be jammed with information from sun up to sun down, giving those in­volved in the Institute the pleasure of participating in cyperspace.

National award given to CE 270 course By judith Kirkpatrick Special to Kapi 'o

Civil Engineering (CE270)­Applied Mechanics I has won the Networked Distributed Education Award presented by IBM at the American Association of Commnity Colleges.

CE270, offered jointly by Kapi 'olani and Honolulu commu­nity colleges is taught via World Wide Web, Electronic Mail, and other Internet programs.

Students meet once a week with their instructor, HCC instructor Vern Takabayashi; however, they con­tinue their discussion and dialogue throughout the week through elec­tronic communication.

Each student and faculty mem­ber working in the CE270 group have e-mail accounts through the University ofHawai'i's Internet ac­cess program.

A further use of the Internet comes with exploring synchronous, interactive MOO space. Students have designed their work space there that simulates space stations, satel­lite stations and a 100 floor condo­minium, fully equipped with an el­evator. All of these creations can be found in a space called 0 Hana, a Hawaiian word for coming together.

The metaphor of a trip up the mountain of Haleakala on the island of Maui can be found in this space the students come to. The mountain was chosen because of its elements that simulate moon craters at the top; it has been used for the training of astronauts. The faculty advisors and developers have been meeting weekly in MOO space for the whole semester.

This course has been facilitated by Judith Kirkpatrick, working out of a N a tiona! Science Foundation grant called HERN [Hawaii Educa­tional Research Network]. Kirkpatrck will also be coordinating a two week training workshop for K-16 teachers from Hawaii in July 1995, sponsored by HERN.

The course has been supported by Tari Fanderclai, Connections MOOdesigner, and by Sam Epstein, Sensemedia Systems, who has pro­vided thespace on his server for ConnectionsMOO to reside.

Students urged to act to save language classes Letter to the editor and student readers ofKapi'o

In reference to your April 4th ar­ticle regarding budget cuts: "KCC try­ing to make do with less" I would like to clarify certain points specifically regarding Hawaiian and Foreign lan­guages and how this will directly im­pact your educational experience at Kapi 'olani Community College in the fall.

The statement "the new system of allocation will give departments more control over individual budgets" is conect, but this actually means that the departments have control over what 25 percent will be cut from course offerings, instructional re­sources and student help since the lump sum returned to departments was cut by 25 percent. In the case of Hawaiian/Foreign Languages this means that Japanese 102, Hawaiian 202, Spanish 202, Tagalong 201 and Korean 201 will not be offered. (Sa-

moan 201-202, and Russian 201-202 were cut last year.) No new cultural and language videos, cassettes, laser discs, computer programs will be pur­chased for the state-of-the-art labora­tories that were just opened. Student tutors in the LAC and student assis­tants in the labs will also be cut.

To make up for part of the short fall, instructors have agreed to in­crease class size. While Manoa con­tinues with an 18 studentlimit in 101-102 language classes, KCC will in­crease class size from 24 to 25. For those in language laboratory class­rooms designed for 24 students, one student will be without seats. Since 101-102 courses are articulated with Manoa, and students are expected to attain the same course objectives, both students and faculty will have to work harder to compensate for the differ­ence in student: teacher ratio.

Your article states that faculty will not be laid off, however, this refers only to full-time faculty. Approxi­mately 70 percent of Hawaiian/For-

eign language classes are taught by lecturers on semester-to-semester contracts. The lecturers for the cut sections will simply not be renewed for the fall term.

Most of the 201-202 classes were cut on the basis of lower enrollment. These, however, are the classes popu­lated by the students who successfully completed 101-102 beginning lan­guage: five days a week, for two se­mesters with good grades. These are the students who fulfilled the prom­ise of Hawaii as the potential cross­roads between East and West. These are the culturally literate and the com­municators. These are the students preparing for the International Com­munity of the 21st Century of the Pa­cific.

Your governor promised that Hawai 'i would take a leading role in the 21st century as an international center poised between East and West with the resources to serve business and cultural interests of both. Your govemor promised support to educa-

Cohort program initiated for elementary ed majors By Raymond Yuen Kapi 'o Photo Editor

What would you say if you are guaranteed that you will get all your classes to graduate? What would you say if you could get your all your classes by registering only once? A dream come true? For many, yes. The College of Education has officially in­stituted a coh01t program for the el­ementary education major that will require hands on experience with a team approach.

Team approach means groups of students will be doing their field ex­perience at a school near their resi­dence. Students will be given block schedules to make the team approach possible, and the group is expected to stay together until graduation. One

benefit is that students won't have to worry about getting their core classes. A drawback is that they will have little choice of class times.

For the first time in the history of Hawai 'i the College of Education and the Department of Education has worked hand in hand to create a sys­tem which provides education majors an understanding of what they will be getting into when they go into the teaching field.

The cohort program is designed to give education majors actual field experience in teaching by offering more than the listen-and-observe ex­perience.

Before the public school year starts, the education major helps a· teacher prepare for the on coming year. Many teachers applaud this pre­paratory effort. In years past teachers

basically sank or swam during their first year of teaching.

According to the counseling of­fice, in the College of Education, en­rollment in the elementary education program will be cut 40 percent due to the labor intensive nature of the co­hort program. The cohort program has not been introduced to the secondary education program. If the elementary education cohort program continues to be a success secondary education may begin a cohort program also.

The primary education program will now be more selective in its ad­mission process for selecting appli­cants to the college. The requirements for acceptance will not change, but the counseling office recommends that students meet more than just the mini­mum requirements especially in the number of field-experience hours.

Kapi'o is looking for staffers Benefits: • Access to and instruction in state-of-the-art desktop publishing

equipment from digital camera and scanner to power Macs. •Opportunity to publish information on Internet. •Opportunity to develop writing, drawing, photography skills. • A chance to meet interesti·ng people and learn about many

Financial aid funds may face budget axe

Changes being proposed in Con­gress and a troubled economy may make it tougher for students to get financial aid, althougn no definite changes are being made immedi­ately.

This semester, 7.06 students out of the 1 ,250 students that applied re­ceived financial aid. Students must meet certain criteria, such as a speci­fied GPA and financial need, in or­der to receive aid.

Changes are being proposed in Congress which will affect immi­grants and their eligibility to receive Financial Aid. Another change may affect the SSIG or the State Student Incentive Grant which provides stu­dents with tuition waivers. Funding for this grant comes 50 percent from the State and 50 percent from the Federal government, both of which are being reduced.

"The SSIG started as a pilot pro­gram and word of it being cut is nothing new, however, termination of the grant is more likely to happen now than before because of all the budget cuts," said Financial Aid of­ficer, Aileen Lum- Akana. This year, 71 students received an SSIG.

The final proposed change is aimed at the Federal Family Educa­tion Loan or more speciftcally at the Subsidized Stafford Loan which al­lows the students to borrow money while the government pays the in­terest on the money. It is proposed that the government will not pay the interest and all the interest will be capitalized for the student to pay for once they are out of school. There is · also the possibility that low interest loans will be done away with .

Students should be aware that Financial aid is given on a first come first served basis and that the prior­ity deadline was on April 1. This means that applications should be received by the Financial Aid Office in order for students to receive their financial aid check by the first day of school. Applications are still be­ing accepted and should be brought in as soon as possible, but the check will not be guaranteed before the start of school.

Concerned students should con­tact their legislators to find out how financial aid will be affected in the future and to let them know how they feel about the proposed changes.

Board of Regents hear about service learnin By Stan Fichtman Kapi'o Asst. Editor

Provost John Morton; Bob Franco, KCC project director of service learn­ing; and faculty and students participat­ing in the program provided the Board of Regents with a look at how the pro­gram is benefiting students and agen­cies.

Zena Lee, student in linka Corbin­Mullikins Fng 21 V class, told the board her efforts at the Alani Child Care Center's children's reading program have been rewarding and overall a very good experience.

Janet Cook introduced two students woman in the Buddhist-based ''Project from her ESL classes who are involved Dana" in Moilili. in tutoring students at J anett Intermedi­ate. Cook also talked about the "Palolo Pride" newsletter that ESL students are involved in. Two of her students are a part of the editorial board of the paper.

TI1e students, David Lo and Char­lotte lin, expressed happiness for the op­portunity to help children advance their English skills since they are leruning En­glish themselves. Lo said the opportu­nity to tutor helped him learn about the English language at the same time.

Another student presented to the board her experience with an elderly

In his concluding statement, Dr. Franco said that he wants to expand the use of Internet in service learning projects so that KCC could become a leader in the Pacific when it comes to service leaming.

At the end of the presentation, UH president Kenneth M01timer said that the new benchmark upon which education will be based will be the experiences that students have in projects outside of the classroom, and that this will be the new emphasis in education.

Charlotte Toguchi honored internationally by PTK By Jeff Chun Special to Kapi 'o

This April at the Phi Theta Kappa International Convention, KCC Alpha Kappa Psi Chapter Ad­visor, Charlotte Toguchi, was pre­sented the high honor of the Rob­ert Giles Distinguished Advisor Award.

This award is presented to ad­visors who have demonstrated out­standing service and achievements toward the growth of the chapter.

Of the hundreds of entries sub­mitted by chapters internationally, only a select few are honored by this award. Selections are based on past accomplishments as well as an essay that must be submitted by the chapter. Also, a letter of recommen­dation was sent by Provost John Morton .

During her five-year term as ad­viser the Alpha Kappa Psi chapter has risen to the Five Star level and has accumulated numerous awards for outstanding performance in the society.

Toguchi will be completing her term as Phi Theta Kappa Advisor this year, and will be replaced by Barbara Ross Pfeiffer, but Alpha Kappa Psi will still benefit from her knowledge and expertise as she will remain on as the Pacific Region Co­ordinator for Phi Theta Kappa In­ternational.

When asked about the success and accomplishments of Phi Theta Kappa's Pacific Region, Executive Director of Phi Theta Kappa Inter­national, Rod A. Risley, confirmed that the achievements set forth by the Hawai 'i chapters are a prime ex­ample of excellence in leadership by the Pacific Region as a whole.

Guests to a dinner honoring ce­ramicist Toshiko Takaezu were treated to an evening of fine art, music, food and wine. The $100-a­plate dinner brought in $8,000 for the KCC Fine Arts Fund which sup­ports the art programs and Koa Gal­lery.

Takaezu, who was the recipient of the Koa Outstanding Cj.ftist Award, has been described as the most im­portant female ceramicist in America.

She presented each guest with an original ceramic creation to remem­ber the evening.

There's a whole lot of scurry­ing going on at Diamond Head Theater, as the cast gets ready for the production of "Twelf Nite oi Wateva." This year, marks 21years since "TwelfNite 0 ' Wateva" was first produced and directed by James Grant Benton. The play, a pidgin adaptation of the Shakespearean comedy "Twelfth Night," was first performed in 197 4 at UH Manoa in Ke nn edy Lab theater.

" Twelf Nite 0 ' Wateva" be­came so popular with the critics and audiences that it was then per­formed at the Hawai ' i Public The­ater in 1976, McKinley High School in 1980 and revived in 1986, by Kumu Kahua.

Now, the dedicated cast mem­bers rehearse every night. "They love the spotlight," laughs Benton. Even though rehearsals started in March, the cast is ready and ex­cited for opening night April 26.

"Twelf Nite 0 ' Wateva" is somewhat similar to the original Shakespearean play, "Twelfth Night," but Benton's play is en­tirely in pidgin. A sea wreck sepa­rat~s a brother and a sister. Nei­ther ' knows if the other is still alive. The sister, Lehela, dresses as. a man to protect herself from tbe {''man world." From there, cfii~y antics pop up and many cha,ta:~ters will make you laugh h yster.ic ally.

Benton, actor, director, play­wright, and comedian was born and raised in Honolulu. Benton. studied at UH Manoa and later

pursued his acting career in New York City where he did Broadway shows, but decided to come back to Hawai'i because he missed his native homeland.

He completed writing "Twelf NiteO ' Wateva" in 1974. In writ­ing the play, Benton said, "I've come to realize that what I did was deeply rooted in my cultural up­bringing. Instead of doing a project that was just 'good kine fun,' it is the culmination of who I was as a child, born · and raised in this beautiful land of ours, and the play is sort of a documenta­tion of things that were important to me."

Benton was also a household name with Rap Replinger and Ed­ward Ka'ahea in the 70s and 80s. They founded Hawai 'i 's legendary comedy improvisation troupe " Booga Booga."

Benton also said that " Twelf Nite 0 ' Wateva" will also open in Los Angeles on May 22. "Even though I'm very proud of it, it still gives me butterflies when I think of the 'LA Times' giving their opinion of the play's 'legitimacy.'

So rush, rush, rush and call for tickets at Diamond Head Theater! Opening night is Wednesday, April 26 at 8 p .m. and the show will be playing through May 14. Wednes­days to Saturdays, performances are at 8 p.m.Sunday matinees are at 4 p .m. Tickets are $8, $18, $27, and $38. Discounts for groups, students, and II!ilitary are avail­able. For more · information, call Diamond Head Theater at 734-0274.

"Just enjoy da play like how I wen write 'em, kay?" laughs Benton.

Earthtrust, a non-profit conserva­tion group has recently become part of ~CC's home page, a site on the World Wide Web. · k:o·mmunicatio~s· Lab manager,

Steve Singer, has been working to get the' project ready for Saturday, Earth Day. ~· ·:\:Earth trust is group which was

sta,ited in 1976 by Don and Susan White. Major projects include the In­te~~tional Dolphin Campaign, the In­term.tional Whale Oirnpaign, the Asian Wildlife Initiative, and the Hawai' iCon­selv~tion Campaign.

Singer decided the Hawai'i based org.anization was important enough to be 'th~ latest addition to the KCC

~omepage. · .Singer began by analyzing

Earth_trust. He looked through videos to find suitable action shots to incor­po~ate into the segment. He also adapted whale songs to the program, making it a true multimedia affair.

"It's a slow process," said Singer, remarking on the long tedious proce­dure of obtaining copyright perrnis-

sion for the material he chooses. "Each videographer must get his

due," he said. This week, if

the project comes together as sched­uled, the KCC homepage will be spruced up with a full- fledged envi­ronmental media segment. This is in addition to the general informa­tion about the school.

Eventually in­formation such as the current stu­dent course schedule, park­ing information, bookstore hours and prices of books, teacher syllabi and more is planned.

The big "W" has come to Restaurant Row. Wallace The­aters opened up its flagship lo­cation; appropriately named Restaurant Row Nine Theaters on April 13.

The massive plate-glass win­dow that encases the ticket booth and the jewel-like inlays in the restroom walls, suggest this is .no ordinary c~nema-plex.

In fact the the!lter, located parallel to Studebaker's along Ala Moana Blvd., is quite at home with the glitzy, upscale ·· feel of the nightclub and restau­rant scene at the Row. The prices are also along these lines, as it cost $6.50 for admission.

But don't let that discourage you . Wallace offers discount matinees daily and the first show scheduled around mid-day is usually $3.50. The drink cups are also noticeably larger than

other theaters, thus warranting their higher prices.

The Resturant Row Nine's Dolby sound system seems crisp and clean, comparable with most of the .non-digital Dolby equipped Consolidated Theaters. The seating is roomy !ind cup holders are provided on the arm­rest of the .fronting chair.

Wallace Theaters provides first-r~n ,films in a stylish set­ting . Along with Restaurant Row's ample parking, the the­aters definitely stand out from the crowd. Additional incentives include night clubs for the noc­turnal and free validated parking for the frugal. Ca11526-4171 for showtime information.

Ralph Ohara Dean of Student Services When Dean Ohara started as

Dean of Student Services on April 15, 1975, KCC had just started the transition process from Pensacola St. location to the Diamond Head cam­pus.

In his 20 years at KCC, Ohara has seen the enrollment approximately double and even though the Dia­mond Head campus is larger (50 acres instead of 4 .5 acres), the same problems of parking and overcrowd­ing persist, although the quality of education at KCC has always been maintained at a high level.

Ohara recalls that when KCC was situated in the dilapidated buildings at the Pensacola address, people then commented " students come to Kapi ' olani in spite of the facilities."

He has seen Rcc come from be­ing the "orphan of the system" to what some have called "the flagship community colleges," but he said it is important not to be too content, to continue to strive to be the best. He feels optimistic because the instruc­tors who have joined the faculty are talented and skilled professionals.

For Ohara, the bottom line has al­ways been"making the students proud to be at KCC." ,

He doesn't know what retirement holds for him, but he is excited about the possibilities. "This is a second go around for me," said Ohara. "I'm thinking about taking some classes at KCC so I can keep in touch with tht: ~taff and faculty."

Frances .) Klema Registration and Records Clerk Frances Klema has been at KCC

since December of 1971. She has seen the dramatic change of the campus and the increase in enrol~nt

When Klema retires, "I'll be busy with the church," she said, "I'll also be doing volunteer work at Friends of the Library of Hawai' i, Hawai'i Literacy Society, Col11liX>n Cause, and I'll be au­di~g classes at UH."

james A. Jeffryes Asst. Dean of Instruction James Jeffi·yes, has been at KCC

since 1969. He said that the biggest change to the campus are the new build­ings. Hee has also noticed that student involvement has also increased.

After retiring, he plans to "hopefully work part time, and spend more time with his family, as well as have time for sports, and yardwork

Dean of Instruction, Dr. Leon Richards, said, "In all of my 18 years at KCC, I can truly say that I have yet to meet anyone who is as committed and ddicated to helping and assisting students and faculty as Jim is. He epitomizes the concept that our institution exists to serve the students.

' 'Over the years, Jim has served as my tutor, mentor and f1iend in all our ef­forts to make KCC an exemplary com­munity college.

"Jim's na.m:;: will always be positively linked to Surnrne Session, Coordinated Evening/Weekend Program, DES, De­velopment/MentDiing programs. He will be sorely missed at KCC."

Kathleen j . MacDonald English Professor ''The new buildings and voice mail,''

aresomeofthe bigchanges thatKathleen MacDonald has seen since 1984, when she first came to KCC. Students will re­member MacDonald as a tough but ex­cellent English 100 teacher, and tutors willrerrember her Ed 101 class. Students who have not had he::- as an instructor will probably recognize the handbook, Writing for College Courses, which she wrote. MacDonald said about retirement: '1'11 be doing a lot of reading, some writ­ing, and maybe I'll take some classes."

Christopher G. Hong Auxiliary Services Clerk ChFistopher Hong, KCC 's

Auxiliary Services Clerk of 10 years said that "The biggest change that I have seen has been the increase in enrollment."

"My options are open," s·aid Hong about his plans.

helping others, Chun is turning in his calc ulator and computer. Chun joined KCC in 1965 , in the early years the school was started.

. EMC has expanded its function from providing AV equipment to provid­ing distance education.

Upon retirement, Chun plans to travef, take more classes in pottery or other vocational things, exercise or spend more time with the church.

Tenny H. Tom Business Law Profesor Tenny Tom, KCC's B usiness

· law Professor, has been with KCC fo r 30 years.

"KCC is first class an d has beautiful faci lities," said Tom. He feels th at there is "too much em­phasis on liberal arts over voc a­tional educatio n by counselors, es­pecially w hen so few liberal ar t majors do not transfer to U.H." and "too muc h direction from admin­istratio n o n c urricul ar m a tters which is really not necess ary as the faculty in the different departments are very capable of handling these matters. "

" I hop e to play tennis, play golf, and do a lot of ballroom danc­ing," said Tom about his retirement plans.

Saul H. Slatoff Reference Librarian One of KCC's reference librar­

ians of 28 years is retiring this year. Saul Slatoff, a familiar face in the library said that the biggest changes on campus since he joined KCC is the "increase in enrollment and the new campus, at Pensacola we were on about 4 .5 acres, such a limited space."

Amy E. Shinoki Business Professor Amy Shinoki, KCC's Business pro­

fessor said that the biggest change that she has seen on campus is technology. ' 'We used to used to use calcuators and 10 keys and I used to know all the fac­ulty by name."

After her retirement, Shinoki said, "I' ll be doing alotoftraveling in my mo­

tor home."
