Spencer Shaw, City College mathematics instructor, has been elected Faculty Association president, replacing Henry Gee, the current two term incumbent. One of Shaw's goals for his two-year term as president is to return much of the governing power to the faculty association members. "The basic idea is to . . . open up communications between the executive board and (faculty association) membership," Shaw said . Shaw also plans to campaign to raise faculty salaries within equitable measures of neighboring campuses. "We're going to be a little bit tougher on salary negotiations, because our salaries are down 10% since 1990 against inflation," Shaw said. Anne Heffley has been elected external information officer.

Heffley's primary goal for her term is to raise the salary status of the faculty members from the bottom of the Bay Ten (a group of ten community colleges in the bay area) to above its median . Heffley also hopes to aid in opening the communication between the Executive Board and the faculty association members. Dave Ahlberg, City College mathematics and science instructor, has been elected campus representative. Ahlberg has served as a member of the Facully Senate for three
years and plans to increase faculty input and direction in the Faculty Association . The position of academic hourly representative has been filled by Evergreen Valley College's Leonard Washington. After 29 years within the district, Washington recently changed his status from full-time to part-time. His new part-time status endears him to the cause of his fellow hourly employees. The newly elected officials will take their offices in January.
