The positions of directors of instructicm in the schools of Tec~ology, Social Sciences -and been have Arts Lan~uage elimmated in budget- cutting moves at San Jose City College, according to President Dr. Theodore Murguia Dr. Murguia announced the ma~or administrative staff reorganizatiOn at a special faculty and staff meeting on Feb. 2. Termination of these positions was made necessary due to the rapid depletion of San Jose Community College District reserve funds, Murguia said. The President also stated he was told by Chancellor Dr. Otto Roemmich last {all that the SJCC budget would be $200,000 less than in the past fiscal years. Under the reorganization, schools terminated will be absorbed by other departments . These have been divided into Humanities, Natural and Applied Science and the School of Human and Social Services.
Humanities will include : language arts, fine arts, philosophy and ethnic studies. According to Dr. Murguia, drastic cuts were made in the budget a year ago but declining enrollment in evening classes and cuts in classified personnel enabled the college to submit budget transfers and put money into much needed equipment and supplies. It was not possible to do the same this year and since the bulk of operating expenditures is in salaries, it was necessary to terminate staff members. He said, " We had ho alternative but to go in another direction. We attempted to not touch a rea that really reflected instruction directly.'' the under Departments . jurisdiction of the School of Human and Social Services will be : dental assisting, cosmetology, early home education, childhood economics and instructional aides. Biological science, physical science, laser technology, elec-
tronics, solar energy, air conditioning and drafting will all be part of Natural and Applied Science. Dr. Murguia also said, "I do not want to go out to the faculty and tell them that they have to tighten their belts and not do the same thing with administration." He added, "The thing that I've done was not done arbitrarily , capriciously or suddenly .'' In addition, Dr. Murguia said he expects to submit a five-year master plan to the board of trustees on Feb. 21, and he hopes a new humanities complex will be constructed east of the college theatre. The temporary buildings at the south end of the campus could then be removed and replaced by parking facilities. In a staff memo on the budget, Dr. Otto Roemmich also emphasized the necessity of budget cuts . He said, " On the basis of present income projections the District will have to reduce expenditures by a minimum

On Sunday winds ripped through campus knocking down trees and solar energy collecter. Kent campus security captain, said have been no serious problems SJCC because of the bad weather. The roofs of the women's locker and wings 100, 200 and 000 were exlJIIII<tuJtt: to hold as much water as it and the rain flooded und their gutters and poured classrooms and offices ·;;;;,,tldon<lay morning.
Puddles were scattered all over the campus and customdians went from room to room mopping up water.

"We've had leaks before, but not floods, " said P .E . Instructor Grunhild Swanson, who was mopping up the water. "It's hazardous, it's dangerous and the school would be libel i_f anything happened."
"There isn't a building on campus that hasn't, in some way been touched," Brydon said. " I would not imagine that this would happen again ... " A pine tree between the 20 and 30 buildings was knocked over. Athletic fields were soaked with an over abundance of water looking like a small swampland. A lot of rain made its way into the women's locker room leaving the faculty members in there to clean up the mess.

Arsonists. cause Y $1,500 damage The campus was a busy place during the semester break. There was a fire, and several badly leaking roofs along with the scheduled events. On the night of Jan. 7 the Child Care building sufferef damage estimated at $1500 in a fire which cornpe~ seared the outside of the building. Several windows were broken and six small, child-sized chairs were destroyed, according to Capt. Kent Rose of the campus police. "Another ten minutes and there would have been real trouble,'' Rose said, noting that the fire was put out before major damage could occur. "Arson seemed to be the cause, but no one wqs apprehended," said Rose. Several rooms in the 100 and 000 wings had the opposite probl~m. They leaked after facing t~ flCSt heavy rains after two dry wtnters. Facilities Services Supervisor t Brydon describe_d t~; as an "inconveruence . to shampoo the carpets, the ceiling was stained," he Brydon's own office leaked.

5."9% hike in salary for facu lty Full-time instructors in the San Jose Community College District will receive a 5.9 percent salary increase and part-lime instructors a 6.5 percent increase as a result of an agreement approved by the board of trustees on Jan. 17. The two-year contract is the first settlement with the California Teachers Association under terms of the new collective bargaining legislation. The contract calls for salary increases to be retroactive from July 1, 1977, and provides additional fringe benefits. Certificated managemen t employees were granted a 5.68 percent mcrease and classified management employees received a 6.07 percent pay hike.
TREE TAKES A SPILL--One of the Gingko trees located io the grassy area between the science and fine arts buildings was one of the victims of the weekend's storm. Other problems included the wet Photo by David Brown telephone lines and campus-wide leaks.
Remodeled ·cosmetology and· dental facilities -'best' The cosmetology and dental facilities a t SJCC have been remodeled, and Director of Instruction Roberta Firetag says that they are the best in California, if not the whole U.S. "The old facility was not adequately designed," Firetag said, "and the equipment was too small to meet professwnal standards." Last semester classes were held for these two departments in the faculty lounge during construction. Now they are back in their original location in the building between the business building and the faculty offices. The remodeling has also brought on a complete overhaul in the scheduling for the dental assisting course. What was a two year dental assisting program is now a one yearmodule course. The new dental facility now has an eight chair clinic, five x-ray units and an auditorial room.
The cosmetology facility has more room now to service the needs of the department. The remodeling of the buildimz has orovided extra space to separate the beginning and con. tinuing classes. A model salon has given students me chance to handle the business end of their operation. This way they can now easily manage their own arpointments, profits and ordering o supplies. One of the major changes it has brought is that of attitudes, in both students and instructors as well as the patrons. "The sunlight an,d the windows affected me the most," said student Joei Mandoza. "My confidence kind of shot up since we moved into this building. I feel more professional in iL "
Enrol lment Up9%? Preliminary figures show day and evening enrollment at SJCC up by 9 end-ofthe percent above registration period last spring, but registrar Robert Brown says that enrollment may actually be down. This year about 800 apprenticed students were registered during the last week of Fall semester rather than during the normal registration period. They show up in this year 's early statistics, but not in the figures • for this time last year . Also, about 500 students registered late last year and Brown doesn't expect so many this spring. Brown's guess is that total enrollment will be about 6 percent lower than last year's when the final results are tabulated, in about a month. "Dropping enrollments seem to be a national thing, ·• he said. " When employme nt goes up people stay out of school."

He said, "We will continue to reduce staff by attrition in order to avoid termination if at all possible. If, however, enrollments decrease and/ or the State apportionment formula changes it may be necessary to further ~educe services and/ or staff in order to develop a balanced budget for 1978-79 and again for 1979-
another Sanders, Ric cosmetology student, added that even the patrons were grumpy about the previous facilities and at having been inconvenienced bv them. "I think it's outstanding. I feel excited about the new facility and the space and equipment available to us this semester as compared to previous semesters," student Debra Glasby added. "I feel the students are highly motivated, and because of that motivation more learning will take place," said Shirley Silveria.
