scholarship funds, so he used the
money to buy books and supplies.
“I saw it on the board and ap-
plied for it,” Dennis said. “I had to
meet certain requirements and tell
them in an essay why I should
qualify for the scholarship. My
GPA is around 3.75.”
Two Jim Worden scholarships
are awarded on South Campus
each spring, one to a technical stu-
dent and one to a student seeking
an associate degree.
“I think the idea for the scholar-
ship came from a combination of
people on South Campus and other
administrators wanting to honor a
really fine person,” Claire Roemer,
district director of financial aid, said.
Funding for the scholarship en-
dowment came from several
sources, including profits from an
auction at the 30th anniversary din-
ner, a donation from Worden’s fam-
ily and several donations from peo-
ple who knew him, Roemer said.

A former dean and president
of South Campus is still associat-
ed with providing education to
students more than two years after
his death.
As an educator, Dr. Jim
Worden had served in many ad-
ministrative positions, including
South Campus dean of instruction,
South Campus president and vice-
chancellor for the district; he was
interim-chancellor at the time of
his death.
During his 24 years with
TCC, Worden was known for his
friendliness towards students and
a scholarship named in his honor
is awarded annually to help at
least two South Campus students.
This year’s recipients of the $500
award are Melissa Charron and
Martin Dennis.
Charron used the money to
pay for tuition and to buy books .
“It does not sound like a lot
of money, but at the time I did not
know how I would pay for this se-
mester,” she said. “At TCC $500
paid for almost everything.”
“I thought it was pretty cool
that TCC had that scholarship
available. When I found out that I
got the award, I was so happy that
I called my mom; and we both
cried on the phone.”
Dennis, a lab assistant in the
technical,, building on South
Campus, had already paid for his
tuition before he received the
2 given Jim Worden scholarships

sensors that will push the 91 mirrors back into

Justin Walker, South Campus astronomy stu-
dent, said he liked hearing about the way the
telescope was constructed.
“We study about the different-kinds of tele-
scopes in astronomy, but we never really get to
hear about what all goes into building them.”
Bash explained that lightning from storms
and high winds made crews do most of their

from the Science Learning Center voiced concern about the lack of avail-
able copy machines for the students in that program.
Representatives from Disability Support Services made several sug-
gestions. The group requested outdoor weather shelters, emergency
phones and more readily available payphones.
Darlage has talked to several companies, and the college has been
working on an emergency phone (or callbox) system.
Concerns were also voiced about wheelchair facilities in the OFO
and the ACB entrances.
The college is planning a disabilities awareness day for next fall, in
which faculty members would take on a “disability,” such as a wheelchair .
or blinding glasses, for a day.
Sally Proffit, NE Campus instructor, suggested the implementation of
pictoral directories of the staff, a possibility that has been studied recent-
ly, Darlage said.
In the past a pictoral directory has been absent because of the diffi-
culty of finding time to picture the staff and the cost of the project, but
with the introduction of the digital camera, such an endeavor would be
more plausible, Dr. Pat Webb, director of instructional media, said.
Proffit further suggested the introduction of student feedback evalua-
tions for the tutorial labs and other on-campus services that deal with stu-
dents. These would allow students to voice their concerns if they feel as
though they have been mistreated, she said.
In response to a suggestion about faculty nametags at TCC, Darlage
said that with the redesign of the TCC seal, the district would provide
new nametags and business cards to the faculty.
When asked about the reasons and effects of the school’s name change,
Darlage clarified the intentions of the college concerning the change.
“The name change will not change the mission of vocational pro-
grams for the school; it will just keep the title of the school up with its ac-
tual function,” he said.
Another student concern at the forum was the state of the computer
certification classes on NE Campus compared to the other TCC campus-
es.
The new computers will make certification courses easier to instigate
on the campus, Darlage said.
Finally, the state of the school’s readiness for the year 2000 program 1
flaw was questioned.
Darlage said all the
pliant.
“All the computers at the college will be ready for Y2K,” he said. “I •
am more worried about my computer at home than I am about the com-
puters here.”
A third term will offer a Water Safety Instructor course starting
Monday, May 17, and ending Tuesday, May 25.
Students must register and pay for the courses by the first day of class.
NW Campus will offer two mini-terms this summer.
The first mini-term begins Monday, May 17 and ends Thursday, June
3. Courses offered are Principles of Accounting II, Art Appreciation, Web
Page Design, Principles of Microeconomics, Compostion I, American
Literature I and U.S. Government. Classes meet Monday through Friday.
The second mini-term begins Tuesday, June 8, and ends Tuesday, June
29. Courses offered are Art Appreciation, Composition II, American <
Literature II and Concepts of Physical Activity. Classes meet Monday
through Thursday.
To register, students should go to an EASI station and look under the
Summer I section or check under the open classes section. Students
should also print out a course request form, Gallagher said.
Students should check with advisors and make sure they have met
TASP and pre-requisite requirements, Gallagher said.

Each student will be able to

■ee on their own.
M Miller said, “I cannot wait to
see the Salvador Dali and Pablo
Picasso museums.”
Most students hope they will
gain a better understanding of art and
apply that to their own, Miller said. __
•Library hours extended
The LRC on South Campus will
extend its hours the week of finals.
. “After speaking with students at
Ita/arious forums, we decided extend-
ing library hours would be helpful
for those in need of a quiet place to
study,” Dr. Ted Drake, South
Campus director of library services,
said.
The library staff has volunteered
