Please do not wait for more than twenty minutes for your class to begin! It causes pain to those of us who are more experienced, to see you sitting bewildered in your deserted classroom, in the absence of your classmates and instructor. There is no need, however, to wait for half an hour to see if your instructor will show; yellow class cancellation notices are posted in common places in all the pertinent campus buildings, usually, a bulletin board near an entrance or lobby. In the NRC, class cancelations are posted on the bulletin boards near the elevator; in BTC,rtis posted on the bulletin boards in the front lobby entrance, and by the snack bar; in VLH; the bulletin board by room 100, Mary Skiba's office, is the one to check for those yellow cancellationslips. One more word of caution. When looking for cancellation notices on the bulletin boards, read only those which are written out on the printed yellow cancellation forms. The -handwritten cancellations do not count! But make a habit of checking for cancellations and know when they are real. STUDENT SENATE A NEW · BEGINNING .

The next report will concern cuts made in the secretarial positions. ~~~~ Last month the Board of Trustees accepted the Citizen's Steerage Committee on Millage's proposal to put off anotller millage· election until the Spring of 1988. If the next millage does not pass, further cuts will have to be made. Money was cut from the instructional budget, meaning $5,500 less for travel money for the faculty, which they use for going to seminars, refresher courses, and meetings. Instructional supplies were cut $7,500 · and instructional equipment was cut $214,000 with a backlog of request fot the equipment. Money available for the purcliase of books for the library was also cut. Costs went - up directly for the student and down for tlle .college d\le to reduced overhead caused· by adjustments and cuts. Programs were not cut, but ~quipment that needs replacing or upgrading could not be done as the funds are not there. Adjustments were made in the schedule, meaning less class offerings, larger classes, especially business and math. Classes dropped from the schedule, for example Botany, and other small classes, mean not as many elective offerings and a limited selection of classes. Funding was not tllere for the machine tool shop to use to replace WW II Federal surplus tools. The replacement of each tool would cost $100,000 plus. W AFB had no funding to purchase equipment for proposed vocational technology classes. Tuition costs increased $2.00 per contact hour, An 8% increase for both in and out of district · students. W AFB campus tuition was also raised the same. Athletic fees were doubled, going from $1.00 to $2.00 per credit. Vocational technology has not been able to replace faculty that has retired. The have had to hire part-time faculty instead. The hardest hit departments as far as equipment replacement seem to be the industrial technology, health fitness, business and the science areas.
