We who sponsor these classes make a considerable effort to ensure that the classes which are pre sented for your choice each term have two essential qualities. First, they must be attractive to you, the potential students, and secondly, they must offer some value (be worth while to you). Unfortunately, there are times wrfen we have been disappointed, and so have many of you, because a class which had a great deal of merit, like the recently advertised "Math for Cowards", did not actually take place. The reason it didn't make it is deceptively simple not enough people signed up. Typically a class doesn't really bomb by having ter rible enrollment (only two people, for example). Instead, it falls barely short of the minimum number of par ticipants needed to allow the class to become a reality. Yes, classes do have minimum enrollment requirements. These lim its are necessary to make it possible to keep fees to take the class low. They also make sure that "overhead" is covered so that we can continue to maintain the office, hire staff and conduct the business of serving you. So, let's talk about "Windows of Opportunity", "Criticality of Tim ing and all that stutt. When and how does COCC know if a class is going to "go"? If all happens after the one-week registrationsign-up period. You did realize that the opportunity to sign up for Community Ed. and college credit classes lasts for only one week, didn't you? At the end of that sign-up week, the number of paid registrants is to taled. If the number is at, or greater than, the minimum (usually eight to 12 people depending on the class) a "go-nogo" decision is made. Yes, there really is a one-week "Window of Opportunity" and , "Timing" really is "Critical". Incidentally, in the case of a class which is full, only a paid registration guarantees a place. If you are listed but not paid up, you will be bumped by someone on the waiting list. The policies and procedures de scribed above also apply to other kinds of COCC-administered classes, such as credit courses, computer center classes and ABEGED. So, sign up and pay up early thus helping yourself by ensuring classes that matter take place helping us to make it happen. Remember, spring term is just around the corner, so when the ad vertising is out, you come in. If there are classes of interest that you would like to see us bring, please give us a call at 553-1428 or stop by and visit us at the Education Center.

The residence, located on Tao Shuh in West Hills, was occupied by the Kalamas, their four children, another couple and their two children at the time of the fire. The fire spread quickly, leaving no time for the occupants to gather any personal belongings. All fur nishings, clothing and other house hold items were lost.

The family has been provided temporary housing in Madras until accommodations can be found in Warm Springs. Donations of clothing and other household items would be greatly appreciated.
