The representatives will be made up of college administrators, faculty members, stu dents, handicapped agency personnel, area business owners and community .residents, Kunkel said. Applications for the advisory committee will be taken until the middle of November, he said. "We're all workingfor one reason," Kunkel said, "and that is to make the resource center run smoothly."
