SUSAN SIMMS North News Editor BCC’s faculty union, the United Faculty of Florida (UFF)/Florida NEA, has been circulating a petition among faculty from all three campuses requesting that the current or next governor of Florida replace the members of the BCC Board of Trustees. Due to the many conflicts of interest between the faculty, non-union and union members, and the ad¬ ministration, considerable tension has developed which UFF believes is justification for its petition. Such issues being raised by UFF are faculty salaries, academic ranking, instructional expenses, maintenance expenses, college operation and a lack of attendance at Board meetings. These are just a few of the conflicting issues which UFF has negotiated with the collegers administration and Trustees. In 1980, the Board of Trustees did away with the salary schedule for the faculty, which has since been the major issue of negotiations between UFF and the administration. The salary schedule was based on academic ranking (bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate degree) and years of service with th& college. Since 1980, the BCC faculty have beer, struggling with this issue, and for the third consecutive year, UFF has gone into impasse with the administration because of differences over the percen¬ tage of increase for faculty salaries. “Whatever importance this system had [prior to 1980], it was that the academic degree [of a faculty member] and years of service had an element of predictability,” said Dr. Carlos Diaz, first president of UFF and history professor at BCC-N. “There has been nothing to replace the predictability of faculty salaries since 1980,” he said. Each year, the faculty and the administration meet for negotiations where both sides present proposals. These issues are brought before the faculty and the Board-of Trustees for a vote, if these issues are not ac¬ ceptable to either side, then an impasse hearing is scheduled and an arbitrator is present to give a final ruling on the issues at conflict. An impasse hearing is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 6, due to the unresolved differences of faculty salaries Staff Photo I CYNTHIA riOSEPT«! Tower: Dream to be a reality DAVID CITRON North Staff Writer Following months of construction delays, com¬ pletion of the long awaited University Tower is just one month away. The downtown campus, adjoining BCC’s East Las Olas Boulevard administrative offices, will be a joint center for Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University and BCC. Dr. Alan Bielen, BCC’s vice president for Business Affairs, anticipates a tentative Nov. ! completion date, in plenty of time for a full Term 11 schedule of classes. Many BCC officials have voiced concern over the tower not being completed on schedule, in time for Term 1. Bielen suggested that the ar¬ chitect, owner and general contractor are all “keeping quiet” to protect their interests, in the event that litigation results from the construction delays. Bielen believes, however, that construc¬ tion problems will be quickly and amicably settl¬ ed. A recent survey of east central Broward residents has demonstrated that higher education needs of that area greatly exceed available downtown classroom space.

These three student newspapers, which were separately produced by journalism students and others at each of BCC’s three major campuses, have been consolidated into one collegewide paper dubbed The Observer. The restructuring came on the heels of a col¬ legewide cost-cutting push toward consolidation of other student activities such as sports teams and entertainment events. “We knew it was going to be difficult from the start,” said Jerry Elam, collegewide faculty adviser to The Observer. “But I feel like we (the college) can come out of this with a newspaper that is more professional-looking and will give students a more practical, hands-on experience of how the profes¬ sionals do it.” You, the reader, hold the first effort in your hands.

Pilot Pen has something even smoother than this. AIDS: Education is the best defense against this deadly virus TRACEY GREENE North Staff Writer Leading researchers, such as Dr. Paul A. Walters of Stanford University, indicate that “AIDS is one of the few diseases we currently face where educa¬ tion is the only effective means of preventing further transmission.” For this reason it is important all people learn as much as they can about a disease that can affect anyone. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a retrovirus disease believed to be transmitted through semen, blood, other bodily fluids when mix¬ ed with blood, and perhaps through contact with urine and feces. AIDS is an extremely fragile virus that under nor¬ mal circumstances cannot live outside the body on any surface for more than a few hours. AIDS lives only in blood, semen and other bodily fluids, mak¬ ing it impossible for someone to catch it by merely touching a person who has contracted the virus. It must be transmitted directly into the blood stream. The American College Health Association (ACHA) published a special report stating that there are currently no reported cases among lesbians or bisexual women. A very interesting statistic is that 50 percent of those afflicted with AIDS in Africa are women while in the United States only 7 percent are women. Ellen Feiler of the Broward County Public Health Unit stated that 65 percent of people with AIDS are homosexuals or bisexual men; 17 percent- in¬ travenous (I.V.) drug abusers; 1 percent have been heterosexual sex partners of persons with AIDS or persons belonging to high risk groups; 2 percent have been recipients of transfusions or blood pro¬ ducts; and the remaining 6 percent have not been classified by recognized factors. The San Francisco AIDS Foundation reported that as of June 1984, 340 women in the United States had AIDS. Of these, none are categorized as lesbian or bisexual women. Slightly over half are I.V. drug users, and over one-third are categorized as “other,” which includes women who had sexual contact with men in the higher risk groups and women who received blood transfusions or blood products. The vast majority are between 20 and 40 years old. Most of the women have Pneumaystis Carinii Pneumonia (PCP) or other opportunistic infections, with only a handful having Kaposi’s Sarcoma. Over one half of these women were in New York City and Newark, with less than 10 percent from Miami, and the rest from across the country.

In this instance, the arbitrator’s decision is non¬ binding and the Board of Trustees, which sit as a neutral panel, impose a settlement which is supposed to be fair to all parties involved. The only example in which an arbitrator’s ruling is binding is in contractual disputes. In 1985, a faculty member with a doctorate degree was making a minimum annual salary of $23,500. “It took 15 years to make barely above minimum salary,” said Diaz, and “a second-year faculty member with a doctorate is making essentially the same salary. ’ ’ Diaz further believes that “we need to create salaries for new faculty; hopefully, some modifications will be agreed to,” he said. “I do not think the faculty is being unreasonable,” said Diaz. When you consider that a new faculty member is proposed a 25 percent pay raise and current faculty are proposed a 9 percent pay raise, “they [the administration] will have a difficult time justifying this issue if major modifications are not made, he said. Diaz noted that, to date, no salary schedule exists to conciliate the faculty and administrative personnel at BCC. ‘I do not think the faculty is being unreasonable.’ — Dr. Carlos iaz There has been continued dispute as to whether the budget has been apportioned to facilitate faculty salaries. The salaries for the faculty and the ad¬ ministrative personnel at BCC, which were adopted by the Board of Trustees, do not comply with the State Board of Education Rule 6A-14.46(1), Florida Ad¬ ministrative Code, according to Dr. James L. Wilson, president of UFF. In his Sept. 2, 1986 letter to Clark Maxwell, ex¬ ecutive director of the State Board of Community Col¬ leges, Wilson makes reference to the Auditor General’s Report that the Florida Administrative Code requires that “salary schedules adopted for instruc¬ tional and administrative personnel make provision for recognition of training and experience and that Annual wages: Adams v. governor, President Reagan In addition to the conflict over faculty salaries, there have been speculations that Dr. A. Hugh Adams, president of BCC is paid a higher salary than Florida Gov. Bob Graham. Adams is cur¬ rently making an annual salary of $89,051 as compared to Graham’s annual salary of $78,757. Senators, congressmen and representatives for the state of Florida are currently making an an¬ nual salary of $75,100. Dr. Helen Popovich, president of Florida Atlantic University is currently making an an¬ nual salary of $89,801, according to Sam Cannizzo, classification and pay manager at FAU. Press Secretary Helen Rojas of the State Department in Washington, D.C. explains that “the difference in salaries on this issue is quite evident because the salaries of government and political officials are controlled by the people -the voters, whereas, the educational institutions throughout our country as well as individual companies are governed and controlled by private groups in determining salaries,” she said. For the record, according to Media Relations at the White House in Washington, D.C., Presi¬ dent Ronald Reagan is currently making an an¬ nual salary of .$200,000. Rojas also added that “chief executive officers of ¿Fortune 500 group, which is a breakdown of salaries among the top 500 companies in the country, make considerably higher salaries than President Reagan, and that, in itself, should be taken into consideration when you determine that the voters just don’t want to pay high salaries to government and political of¬ ficials,” she said. each factor considered in determining the amount of salary for each classification be shown as part of the salary schedule.” According to Kirk Murray, director of employee relations for BCC, the state of Florida changed paragraph three of the Florida Administrative Code on Dec. 31, 1984 to read “shall encourage and provide THE OBSERVER — October 3, 1986 3 for improved experience including recognition of training and experience, and may reward for excellent performance,” he said. Additionally, Murray stated that non-union employees have been successful in receiving payraises and that the UFF has been the only source of continu¬ ing conflict on this issue with the administration. ‘In attempting to discredit current members of the Board, I believe a great disservice is done to those five individuals and to this institution.’ — Dr. A. Hugh Adams On Aug. 19, 1986 Dr. A. Hugh Adams, president of BCC, submitted a letter to Maxwell relative to the for¬ thcoming petition to the governor of Florida re¬ questing that he replace this institution’s Board of Trustees. Adams stated in his letter, “In attempting to discredit current members of the Board, I believe a great disservice is done to those five individuals and to this institution.” Adams further stated in his letter, “In summary, I see little value in efforts to promote one set of aims and objectives by damaging or diminishing another in¬ dividual, whatever the area of endeavor.” Additionally, in his Sept. 2 letter to Maxwell, Wilson stated, “Faculty dissatisfaction with our pre¬ sent Board is not a new phenomenon. In 1980, 64 faculty members signed a statement of ‘no confidence’ in this Board. Faculty input into college decisions, both academic and contractual, has neither been solicited nor considered...,” Wilson said. Wilson added in the same letter that, “We need a' president and Board who will discuss issues facing the college with the faculty, rather than isolate themselves from their employees.” Mrs. Pat Matthews, English professor at BCC-N, believes that the learning resources at all the campuses are suffering and that no money is being allocated to maintain functions within the school. She also pointed out that she is dedicated to her position as a teacher (she has been with BCC for approximately 20 years), but “the tension among the faculty and the ad¬ ministration makes it difficult to be happy in the job.” Negotiations relative to faculty and administrative personnel salaries have not yet been resolved, and many other issues for negotiation face the faculty and the administration. =*€= Presidential candidate list cut; BCC hopefuls out KARI DORNER North Staff Writer Members of the presidential search committee for Broward Community College have reduced the field of eligible candidates from five to three. In a decision reached on Thursday, Sept. 25, the committee eliminated BCC executive vice president Clinton Hamilton and North Campus Pro¬ vost Carl Crawford from considera¬ tion. The two were the only can¬ didates presently within the BCC ad¬ ministration. Among the remaining candidates are Willis Holcomb, vice president at Brevard Community College in Cocoa and former BCC provost; Carl Andersen, president of the largest of the Sacremento City College cam¬ puses; and C. Robert Bennett, presi¬ dent of Michigan’s Gogebic Com¬ munity College. Dr. George Young, vice president for student development and vice chairman of the search committee, said, “The decision, which was an assessment of all the qualifications each candidate presented, showed those three as having the credentials for the future growth of this college.” Holcomb, the only Florida ad¬ ministrator selected, was educated at the university of Florida where he earned a doctorate degree in com¬ munity college administration and a master’s degree in education. PART-TIME JOBS UNITED PARCEL SERVICE! The committee eliminated Hamilton and Crawford, the only candidates presently within the BCC administration. Andersen received both a doctorate in higher education from Florida State University and a master’s degree in international relations from American University. Bennett earned a doctorate in educational administration from Iowa State and also attended Nor¬ theast Missouri State University, where he received a master’s degree in history. Although he would not venture a guess as to whom the committee would choose, Young stated that among the qualities sought by the committee are “that he be a dynamic, educated leader, open in his administrative style to the staff, students, and community; have a commitment to and demonstrated record of excellence in educational administration; and be able to com¬ municate with the community, staff and administration.” Qualities which, he maintained, the three remaining candidates possess.

EOE M/F 1 «> «* 4 — THE OBSERVER — October 3, 1986 South’s atmosphere boosts enrollment JOANNE ACOSTA South Editor-in-Chief “This has been a wonderful term for stu¬ dent enrollment at South,” says Elaine Pal¬ mer, the campus registrar. “It has increased considerably over the past year.” The latest statistics provided by the Regis¬ trar and Institutional Research of BCC reveal that South’s enrollment, measured by total student semester hours, has risen 5.9 percent, North’s is up 3.3 percent, but Central’s is down 3.2%. Susan Malter, dean of student develop¬ ment, feels that the increase in South’s regis¬ tration is a result of the location. “This is a highly populated community and the college is close to home. But we are also receiving students from the North-Dade area.” Dr.Eric Reno, provost at South adds that the atmosphere at South is relaxed and wel¬ coming. The college is “accessible” and “we are getting more visibility.” Collegewide, there are more than 18,000 students with approximately 13,500 attend¬ ing part-time and 4,900 full-time. These fig¬ ures are expected to reach 20,000 including the American Insitute of Banking (AIB) programs. According to Palmer, students these days are career-oriented and show enthusiasm about getting an education. She comments, “I’ve worked at all three campuses and I’m always looking at bodies. For instance, the total number of students at South as of late September is about 5,500. The majority of these students are here on a part-time sched¬ ule.” Several students expressed opinions on why they chose to attend BCC rather than a major university. Angela Messina, a freshman, said, “BCC South is closer to home and is affordable.” Ferdose Irani, sophomore pre-med., com¬ mented, “The science courses are interesting, the labs are well-equipped and there is more student contact.” “Students don’t lose their identity, the atmosphere is nice, and there is a one-on-one relationship between students and teachers,” offered Ednamae Saunders. Marcia Silvers, a sophomore psychology major, said, “As an older student returning to college, I feel more comfortable and receive encouragement from both counselors and teachers.” Freshman Michael Damiano, studying bus¬ iness, suggested proximity and economy: “I live two miles away from South, so it’s conve¬ nient. It is also much cheaper than going to a major university.” “The South registration staff operate on an individual basis with the students. They are not only known by a number, but by name,” states Palmer. “We are happy to serve stu¬ dents, staff, and the administration in any way possible.” 9 Student helps pick president LEON ELALOUF South Staff Writer “Why me?” This was the first reaction of South student Schennell Crichlow when Staff Photo / LEON ELALOUF Schenell Cricklow chosen last term to help select the new BCC president. A native of Trinidad, Crichlow has made Florida her home for over two years. She is now 19 years old which makes her the youngest person on the Presidential Search Advisory Committee. It was a total surprise to Crichlow when Vice-President of Student Development, Dr. George Young contacted her to ask her if she would represent the student body on the committee. “Definitely, B.C.C. needs a repre¬ sentative to speak for the student body,” says Crichlow when asked whether it is a good idea that there is a student on the committee. Crichlow says that other members of the committee were pleased and impressed that there is a student representative on the committee. Crichlow thinks the students want “a president who can run the school effectively, and who will come out of his office and get to know the students on a one-to-one basis. Also someone who can lead us in the right direction to becoming a more prestigious college.” Crichlow, a sophomore Business Administration major planning to graduate in the spring, spends much of her time on committee business and at monthly search committee meetings. Along with her work on the com¬ mittee, Crichlow works part-time in a children’s clothing store. This summer she also managed to record a 12" dance record under the name of “World Glamour,” which will soon be released. Crichlow feels that it is a “great honor to be chosen for the commit¬ tee.” Crichlow refused to comment when asked who the favorite candi¬ date is. Deborah Warner, bookstore employee staff Photo / LEON ELALOUF Bookstore diversifies; prices throw students GARY RIVERA South Staff Writer pay. “Badly worn books and old editions are of no value to the textbook companies,” Darbro said. “So we don’t buy them back from the students.” Inside the bookstore, there are notices informing students of its policies. There are also reminders to the students to save their receipts. “A textbook with no receipt has to be sold back to us at the buy-back rate.” Wright said. The bookstore employees are quick to point out that textbooks are not the only commodity they sell; they stock many other school supplies. Items such as stuffed animals and ice cream are on sale to try and attract students who would only go to the bookstore during the first and last weeks of each semester. “Some students come in daily just to say hello and talk to the animals,” Darbro says. Bumper stickers, visers and other items with the “Go for it” slogan can also be pur¬ chased at the bookstore. Coffee mugs with the BCC logo are in stock for the first time in over five years. As Darbro put it, “It gives students a chance to remember the time that they’ve spent here.” “Go for it,” BCC’s slogan, which has been in effect for a little over a year, was taken to the extreme this semester by an irate student, who threw a textbook at a bookstore employ¬ ee that informed the student the book had no buy back value. “I told her that we couldn’t give her any money for the textbook,” said Deborah Warn¬ er, part-time bookstore employee and in¬ tended victim. “While I was closing the buy back window, she flung the textbook at me and said, ‘Maybe you can get some use out of it.” Fortunately, the book hit the window and not Warner; but, do all students react so inten¬ sely when they visit the bookstore to buy or sell back textbooks? Mary Darbro, who has been working or managing BCC bookstores for 13 years, says no. “Students have come in to yell at us, either because the prices are too high, or the buy-back value is too low. Later on, after they have let off some steam, they come back, not to apologize, but to say that they feel better, and to do their shopping.” “Although some students have complained about our prices,” said Carlton Wright,another part-time employee at the bookstore, In addition, the bookstore will be holding “they don’t understand that we are not the its bi-annual side-walk sale, Oct. 14-16.

A deaf student unable to lip-read will need a sign-language interpreter and a notetaker A student without the use of his hands will also need a note-taker. The complexity of the situation becomes apparent when one realizes the scope of disabilities. David Baier, a 23-year-old sophomore, has dyslexia, a disease which causes him to visually perceive all written material backwards or jumbled. Many dyslexic people are illiterate, but David Baier is not. A well above-average student, David can read and write although it takes him a little longer. The effects of David’s disability are most ap¬ parent in his spelling and punctuation. “Just like a person in a wheelchair needs a ramp, I need a writer,” says David. The presence of disabled students sometimes creates special contingencies in the classroom. In the case of a deaf student who is lip-reading, for example, the instructor may forget that turning away from the class totally eliminates communication with that student. Testing situations sometimes present problems. Handicapped students who take their test orally must have a private room, reserved in advance, with a tester and proctor. Not all disabled students register with the OHS. Some-owing perhaps to em¬ barrassment, nervousness, or denial-try to handle their situation themselves.

Guitar duo returns DAVID SUMMITT Central Staff Writer Central Campus’ guitar instructor Lou Mowad has returned to the faculty after a two year absence, bringing his wife and former student Yasemin with him. Lou earned his Master’s degree and Yasemin her Bachelor’s degree at the University of Arizona. The Mowads are currently teaching guitar at Central Campus and performing regularly at Le Pavillion on Key Biscayne. “We’re both excited about returning to BCC,” said Lou. “We’re looking for¬ ward to enlarging the guitar program.” Lou also said that they hope to schedule a performance for the students, possibly in Bailey Hall or the lecture theater. “We definitely will try to do something, probably in January,” said Lou. In the meantime the Mowads will perform before Music Appreciation classes, he said. In addition to college instruction, both Lou and Yasemin give private lessons.

THE SUSPENDER VENDER Broward Mall 100 VARIETIES Sports THE OBSERVER — October 3, 1986 — 17 Leaner, meaner, merged teams: BCC’s new look PETE BILINSKI North Sports Editor Just a few years ago, there was an in¬ tense rivalry between BCC-N and BCCC teams. It wasn’t like the Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees type rivalry, but it was there. Now, those days are gone. Financial difficulties caused the two campuses to combine their separate teams. Mens’ and womens’ basketball, tennis and womens’ softball teams were combined into one. BCC-N became home to the mens’ basketball, mens’ tennis, womens’ volleyball and womens’ softball. Mens’ soccer, golf baseball, swimming, womens’ basketball and womens’ tennis all call Central Campus home. BCC-S has no sports teams on their campus. Softball, tennis and mens’ soc¬ cer were tried there, but the campus lacked the facilities to house any athletic teams. “It was a good decision financially. It hurt the competition between the schools. It just cost too much (to have separate teams),” commented Rex Brumley, Director of Athletics and Facilities. Under the current situation the school saves money. The money saved goes toward expenses, scholarships and coaches supplements. “It is hard to get part-time coaches to do recruiting because they have other jobs,” admits Alton Andrews, BCC-N Athletic Director. What makes it extra hard is the fact that there are only four full-time coaches on both campuses. One 'at North Cam¬ pus and three at Central. The coaches may not get to see or hear about some athletes who could benefit the BCC sports programs. Other than the recruiting problem the system has been running smoothly. “I’ve had no complaints from the athletes,” said Andrews. BCC students form top -ranking softball team THERESA O’DONNELL Central Staff Writer Imagine that you and a friend of yours both enjoy softball. You guys were involved with athletics in high school a few years ago and would like to be again. Both of you attend the same college, but you want to play softball and your institution does not have a men’s softball team. Well, the,two of you could sign up for a summer league at one of the city’s parks, but you guys want some of your friends as teammates. What will you do0 One of you gets the idea to start a team of your own and the both of you really begin to like this brainstorm. But how do you go about starting your own team0 The one who had this idea lets his buddy take over from here. This guy goes out and gets a sponsor who is will¬ ing to pay $450 to enter the league and who will also provide the team with uniforms. Then he and his buddy round up enough of their friends to make a team. He even gets his brother to be the playercoach. To top it all off, your team goes and defeats the favorite in the cham¬ pionship game! Sound to good to be true0 Well, this is exactly what happened to BCC Central Campus students Gary Steuber and Angelo Gadalata. Gadalata had the brainstorm and Steuber made it a reali¬ ty. Gadalata is a sophomore and Steuber is in his second semester. They are prechriopractic students. Their team is Spinal Tap, sponsored by Dr. Bruce Habberman, Chriopractor. They defeated Hammering Hanks 8-1 at J.C. Field in Sunrise on Thursday, September 18th. The league is made up of three divi¬ sions: B-l, B-2, and C.

In the playoffs, each team played three games. Spinal Tap and Hammering Hanks were the survivors of the playoffs. In the championship game, the older, more ex¬ perienced team who was favored lost to a rookie team that had put it all together. “I didn’t think we were going to win the championship at the beginning of the season. We were 1-3 after four games. When our record went over .500 (6-4), I started believing we had a chance,” Steuber said. “I play to win and I think they (his teammates) had the same attitude. We were strong defensively. The team that wanted to win the most did,” said Gadalata. Steuber, number 10, is the team’s co¬ captain, shortstop and hits second in the batting lineup. He had a .484 season average and a .339 average during the playoffs and championship game. He went three for nine in the playoffs and one for three in the final. Gadalata, number 13, is the captain and third baseman for the team, hitting sixth in the lineup. His season average was .400, but he jumped to a .570 average in the post-season games. He had three runs-batted-in, RBI’s, in the playoffs and hit two for three, with two runs scoreds, in the final. The members of the team range from ages 19 to 36. Chuck Rich, number 11 and the oldest member, had the team’s best season average at .547. Power hit¬ ting came from Mike Harris, number 7, who had five home runs for the season, plus one in the playoffs. The other team members were: Stewart Bogue, number 6 and also a stu¬ dent here at BCC, Mark Coffey, number 14, Brad Cooper, number 4, Joe Garson, number 5, Bob Lang, number 15, Mike Panzo, number 9, Frank Perdomo, number 2, and Dan Steuber, number 3 and the player-coach.

JUANITA HARMON Central Editor Consolidation, an impressive 13-letter word, nor¬ mally not prone to unpleasant connotation, is foul¬ tasting on the tongues of 99 percent of the current Central newspaper staff. Consolidation means that all BCC campuses will be represented by one newspaper. That translates into at least two goal-oriented reporters, two copy editors, two paste-up artists, and two photographers denied the opportunity to cover college-wide stories. Forget intermediate algebra or statistics. Simple arithmetic says that three (North, South, and Central reporters) into one (college-wide story) will not go. Do the approximately 100 reporters gain experience by interviewing each other? Would you bother to read three stories about the same subject unless you are mentioned or quoted in each one? Consolidation means that two, merely two issues will totally emanate from your home campus this semester. Of course, the paper will be bigger and maybe even look better, but this type of strength is similar to the cool, aloof facade of those emotionally distant, lofty corporations. Commuter colleges already have a tough enough time engendering a sense of community. BEATRICE, a conglomerate, has spent millions trying to regain the same sense of people-oriented recognizability that The Phoenix, Polaris, and New Horizons have tossed aside. I still do not feel any warmth from or even know exactly what BEATRICE is except for a hazy assumption that juices, diapers, Tamps, and breads have consolidated under one unseen corporate mentor. Inanimate ob¬ jects, all of them. The Phoenix, now ashes, lived. Although the staff at Central still stands opposed, in principle, to consolidation, we do accept it as fact and sincerely intend to expend the full spectrum of our talents, determination, and capabilities to make it work. We commend Dr. George Young, vice president for student development, on his foresight in assigning a faculty adviser to each campus. Our gratitude is also extended to those faculty and students who voiced their support. Now, let us move forward in a true spirit of collegiality.

Foremost among them is the consolidation of the three campus newspapers in¬ to one all-encompassing college-wide publica¬ tion. With this, its maiden issue, The Observer will attempt to harness the combined talents of all BCC journalism students and faculty from their respective campuses. We on the North Campus staff of The Observer see this as a good move. It would disingenuous to suggest that any changes this sweeping could be approved without controversy and, in fact, voices of dissent were initially raised from several quarters. In the end, the students involved and the advisers overseeing them were agreed that the untapped potential was there to more than offset any provincial campus concerns.

What was formally an administrative decision reflecting budgetary constraints can now be viewed as an opportunity to allocate our most valuable resource, the students themselves, in a way that is to everyone’s advantage. The jour¬ nalism departments will no longer work in tacit competition with one another, but can pool their talent, experience and energy to work in concert and help make The Observer the best it can be. This new, consolidated paper brings with it other advantages. Circulation is expected to be several times what it was for any single campus publication and advertising rates and revenues will increase proportionally. The new paper will integrate the college and promote a sense of fraternity among the combin¬ ed readership as it will address not only campus¬ wide, but collegewide issues. While not sacrific¬ ing its independence, each campus will have ac¬ cess to policies and decisions that affect, all BCC students, regardless of campus affiliation.

He believes that they have 90 percent of the inves¬ tigation completed. They are pretty sure that it was a premeditated crime and that it is possi¬ ble they are dealing with a repeat offender. The Coral Springs Police Department is in charge of this case. The other detective responsible is Detective Riley. Althoc rti the case is not yet solved Vernon and Riley have spent endless hours following leads and col¬ lecting information to resolve this complex mystery. Linda was reported missing Thursday night, Feb. 20, and she was not discovered until Sunday morning. Her body was found near Coral Ridge Dr. and Riverside Dr. in Coral Springs. Although her husband had offered to buy her a car, she preferred to pedal her bike to and from work, enjoying the freedom and the exercise. ' <. Later, some information obtained by the police led to the retrieval of her bike and personal effects from a waterway next to a bike path alongside St. Rd. 84. Linda biked this five-mile path almost daily. A week or so, earlier nine-year old Staci Jazvac was mur¬ dered and dumped 150' away from where Linda’s body was found. The case is even more bizarre: according to Vernon, a year before, a woman was mur¬ dered. She was also found in a neighborhood canal, but the cause of death was different and she was clothed. She worked at a local McDonalds. No link between these two deaths or between Linda’s and Jazvac’s have been established'. According to Vernon, the first 48 hours are the most crucial to a case when a homicide is involved. The following day, Vernon and his partner attempted to obtain information from BCC, which they felt would be useful in their investigation. Unfortunately, Registration could not co¬ operate with the officers’ requests for informa¬ tion about Linda’s classmates because of Flor¬ ida’s privacy statutes. “We were trying to find who talked to Linda or had direct or indirect contact with her.” says Vernon. “There seemed to be a great emphasis on orders and subpoenas, we were just trying to find out whom she had classes with, to get better insight and talk to more people, ana was refused us.” Although the detectives c sympathize with the school, to a small ext»-' it proved to be an obstacle during the first critical hours. Vernon mentioned that they were very for¬ tunate to have a few of her student friends call the police department and volunteer informa¬ tion. “Unfortunately, something that one per¬ son might think is insignificant might be the one piece of the puzzle we’re looking for.” explained Vernon. Channel 7 and Crimestoppers did a re¬ enactment of the murder. It was recently on the air three times a day, following each news broadcast, for the duration of one week. Other re-enactments of unsolved crimes are shown weekly. Linda’s case will run again, unless of course, it is solved. A homicide case is open until it is solved. In ; .jua 3 case, a new tip or lead is under investi¬ gate»' ; very few weeks. When you get arrests of •»¡her people in the state or the United ota'os,” explains Detective Vernon, “If some¬ thing in the pattern of another crime fits the pattern we’re looking for, then "of course we look into that individual.” Vernon says that Linda’s husband, Steve, had a solid alibi and is not a suspect in the homicide. Steve remains hopeful that the criminal will be apprehended. “Can you really publish a story about Linda’s death in your news¬ paper?” Steve asked. “I would be very pleased to see a story written in the school news¬ paper.” Steve works as a carpenter and, now, as a single parent. “The boys have adjusted very well” he said. They are attending school in Fort Lauderdale, where the family plans to move. „ Vernon says that he hears from the husband approximately every week. “He’s a very nice guy and he has two cute little boys.” After working on Linda’s case for some time, Vernon believes they now know almost everything about her and also have come to know her family well. “We have developed insights through talking to different people about Linda,” explains Vernon. “She can probably best be described as a person you’d like to know.” Only Löwenbräu is brewed in the world’s great beer drink¬ ing countries.

By passing the ball through the air with quick, flowing strokes, players attempt to score points by making a basket. The games are supervised by a referee who sits high above the floor and calls the plays much like a sports commentator but while of¬ ficiating the contests. He/she is also responsible for keeping score and issuing penalties to those who break the rules, such as unnecessary roughness or spear¬ ing with a bumper car. The rules of the game are quite lax. Most of them are designed specifically for the safety of the players.. For in¬ stance, getting out of your bumper car or hitting people with your scoop are prohibited for obvious reasons. Slamm¬ ing another player’s bumper car with your own, or indiscriminately using your hands will result in an immediate penal¬ ty, or if repeated, possible ejection. And one more rule not to forget - you cannot drink and drive! All BCC students are welcome at Whirlyball, according to Russ Cohen, assistant manager. With a BCC student I.D., you can play any afternoon during the weekdays for the minimum charge of $4. And, as Cohen says, “It’s never too early, whirly.” Tower From Page 1 Lauderdale has not really been (ade¬ quately) served by BCC,” the college has high hopes for filling these needs when the University Tower opens for Term II. No plans for specific course offerings have been released yet, Thomas explain¬ ed, because the tower is under the joint jurisdiction of FAU and FIU. BCC scheduling and utilization of the tower must first be approved by the university. ■¿son’s :thods any put ú may t 3»'1
