Comment on Campuses need better, cheaper cafe options by Joshua Cochran

Joshua Cochran — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:46:43 +0000

Thank you, Mr. Richardson! As you know, faculty are also “trapped” here and need a source of food that is quality and at a fair price.

What I would insist upon is that ALL cafeteria staff be required to eat what is put on the shelf… not something they get to concoct in the back, but what they make us eat…

A $5 sandwich with soggy bread and wilted lettuce? Often, a crap sandwich and bag of chips and soda amounts to the cost of a FINE meal at a good restaurant. I wish I had time to make my own lunches, but I teach writing and work about 60 hours per week.

While I don’t want sushi, nor fancy coffee… I just want quality food at decent prices. Our students deserve the ability to feed themselves on a college student’s budget.

Thank you for your article.

Yes, the special effects were convincing. Too bad they couldn’t do the same to the story.

Comment on Pima loses founding member by Georgia Brousseau

As a student in the first graduating class of 2 year students in 1972, I had a special relationship to Ken Harper. He was the guiding light for many of us, in believing that education was truly for everyone if they were willing to do it. He encouraged us to believe we could “speak truth to power” by keeping his office door open and by talking with students, and by requiring student voices to be included in what were then termed Decision Centers in the various subject disciplines and at the governance levels. When he announced his termination date, we were stunned and held rallies in support of the administration. Ken was chosen by the graduating committee to be the person to whom we dedicated our graduation and to be our speaker. He advised us to stay involved in our community and to learn and practice the arts and skills of service to others. As the graduates moved across the stage, the majority hugged Ken in parting. My husband called it “the Ken Harper Salute.” Ken influenced my life and affected my chosen career of teaching and politics. It was in part because of Ken that I became the first former student to be elected to the Board of Governors in the fall of 1975. Seeing him again at PCC’s 25th Anniversary and Celebration gave many of us the chance to salute him again and tell him his leadership made a difference in our lives and our community.

Very Informative and well thought out, I was around during that time as a THS senior going to the U of Az. Because PCC ws accredited.
Interesting Note ; Many of my Black peers who weren’t able to matriculate @ UA came over later via PCC with better prep & GPA’s and become very noteworthy in the community. It’s parculiar to me that ther hasn’t been a “Black” BOG member since Elgie Batteau. Things change but stay the same…
