COLLEGE OF THE DESERT June !if, 1974
Your materials packet contains a report on sabbatical leaves ,qhich you requested. After you have perused the information we shall be pleased to respond to any questions you may have. I beHeve the report covers most areas about which you are concerned.
You should set the July and August meeting dates at your June 20 meeting. In order to meet requirements of budget and formal organization, "e are reconmlending July 15 and August 7. If you have nedous conflicts "ith theoe dates, either or both could be Bet back a day or t"o. However, these seem to be most advantageous.
John Clark has requested an advance of $10,000 to cover his expenses in doing the work required by the Cultural Center Planning. (His letter is enclosed.) HOlqeVer, I have suggested to Mr. Luhring that the Foundation pick up this tab in increments on a tIme schedule whIch will accommodate Mr. Clark. This suggestion is made because our C;,ltural Center funds "'ill have been transferred to the Foundation for use.
Two bids for construction of the North parkIng lot (tf21) "Iere received at the bid opening. (Letter from Nr. Clal.'k is ene losed). L01q bid was in the amount of $51,700 which includes Borne additions from that on "hich the estimate of $43,500 ,qas made. AddJ.tional li.ghting (~Ihich is an essential) and additi.onal automatic irrigatIon facility "hich inc ludes the capacility of acconmlodating the irrigation of the entrance road ",hen completed. Mr. Clark io studying the poslJibility of some alternatives to the bid ,qhich ,wuld enable our maintenance personnel to make some of the installations, thereby resulting in a savings to us. We shall have additional information for your June 20 meeting •. '
Health and accIdent insurance remains a problem In terms of agreement (or lack of it) among the faculty and staff. The problem lies in the increased rates by the vendor. Presently, you have allocated $800/person for fringe benefits from which health and acel.dent premiums are paid on a 10-month basis. Using the 3-1'ate structure "hich has been in existence, the family plan (3 or more) would pay, under the Blue Cross plan, $92.68 per month. Such a premium Hould requIre employees vlIth families to add $12.68 per month to premium fees above tha t: ,-,h 1.<::.11 is F(wided by the Board in the fl"inge benefit allocation, whJ.l.e Hingle" w')'Jld p!.ly $37.11. per month and t"o-parties would pay $79.76.
Memo to the Trustees Page 2
You can easily see the cauae for divergent thinkIng: Singles (generally speaking) feel that part of the $800 average should not be taken from them to pay for families of other employees >lhile most employees >lith famIlies believe that a composite rate should be used to acconunodatc all employeeo as >lell as famIlies of ull. employees. It appears thut the time is near ~Ihen the Truutees must decide the basic put'pose of the fringe benefit package. Is it to be used UB 1) H gx-ant of $800 to each employee to be used as the employee ,.,hhes ('1J.thin the legal requirements, or 2) is there to be a t'equirement that all employees be insured >lith no concern for families, or 3) is the lump sum ($800 x number of employees) to be used to purchase heulCh and accident insurance fox- all employees and their families at the best possIble rates, leaving the remainder (an equal amount) to be used for other benefits and possibly group life insurance? There are other alternatives, but these seem to be causing the basic disagreements.
He are meetIng '~ith the joint insurance committee next ,~eek, therefore, may have additional. InformatIon by June 20.

Dear Fern:
Cultural Center College of the Desert CI ient-Architect Agreement
A CORPORATION
May 28, 1 97Lf
Jack Luhring has asked me to assist him in creating involvement of possible donors in the Cultural Center. As in the past, I am happy to do this at no expense to the District in order to expedite development of the project.
He has also asked me to join him in an informational tour of theaters similar to that which we envisage as a part of our Center. Some of these are located on the east coast and some in Canada. This wil I require a substantial amount of time and expense, and should be considel"ed as an investigative part of our work, the cost of which is appl icable to our fees for services.
It would be appreciated if the Board could authorize a continuation of our work under our contract on a time basis, to be ultimately credited to the total percentage fee. In considering the total amount of services to be required during the current fund raising program, it would be reasonable to limit the expenditure to $10 000.
If this arrangement is acceptable, or if some other arrangement would be preferable, please present a proposal to the Board.
Cordially,
P. Clark

Dr. Fern Stout, President Coachella Valley Jr. College District 43-500 Monterey Avenue Palm Desert, Cal ifornia 92260
Reference: Parking Lot #21 Col lege of the Desert
Dear Dr. Stout:
A CORPORATION
June 12, 1974
On June 12, 1974, two bids were recieved for the construction of Parking Lot #21, to be located adjacent to the Agricultural Science Building, and designed to serve 123 cars.
In addition to the publ ic notice, individual bid invitations were sent to six paving contractors in this area.
The low bid was submitted by the Massey Sand & Rock Company in the amount of $51 700, the other by E. L. Yeager Construction Company for $58 050. The final estimated cost was $43 500.
In view of the lack of bidding and the amount of the high bid, it appears unl ikely that a better price can be obtained without cutting the parking lot standards below those previously establ ished for the campus. We suggest that you either award the contract to the Massey Company in the amount of their bid, or instruct us to redesign the lot to minimum requirements and rebid. The latter procedure will involve no extra cost to the District.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAMS, CLARK & WILLIAMS

MEMORANDUM
TO: Dr. F. D. stout
FROM: Dr. M. w. Ellerbroek
SUBJECT: Health and Accident Coverage
The following is an effort to summarize concerns regarding health and accident coverage for the 1974-75 fiscal year:
1. We have received information from Blue Cross, our present carrier, that the composite rate will be increased by 30% for the forthcoming year. A comparison of Blue Cross rates for the current and next year is as follows:
Single 2-Party Family Composite
1973-74 Actual Blue Cross Rates
$ 33.07 64.28 74.82 49.65
1974-75 Aotual Blue Cross Rates
$ 37.11 79.76 92.68 64.55
Percentage Increase
12.2 24.1 23.9 30.0
2. For the past two years we have followed the practice of taking advantage of the Blue Cross composite rate and then adjusting the multiple rate structure, which adjustment has been based upon the composition of our own staff. We have recently been advised by the Blue Cross representative that we may not use the composite rate and make our typical adjustment if any portion of the premium is derived from payroll deductions. The following represents adjusted rates as used during 1973-74 together with our best estimate of adjustments for the 1974-75 fiscal year:
Single 2-Party Family
1973-74 COD Adjusted Rates
$ 33.07 58.71 64.55
ESTIMATED 1974-75 COD Adjusted Rates
$ 37.11 78.34 90.06
We have met with members of the two insurance committees and "they are aware of the dilemma that we face with respect to the rate structure. It appears that our dealing with Blue cross will have to be on the basis of a composite rate for all employees or the 3-rate structure for 1974-75 as set forth in Item No. 1 above.
Page 2 Dr. F. D. stout June 14, 1974
3. Some interest has been expressed in Communi care a prepaid health and accident coverage currently offered as an option for the employees of the City of Palm Springs. We have received the following rates for 1974-75 for such coverage:
Single 2-party Family Composite
$ 48.96 97.01
112.24 69.55
Blue Cross has advised that, in no event may the above rates be adjusted by us.
Staff members are aware that, under the provisions of Senate Bill 6 (Chapter 209), we can no longer separately tax for health and welfare benefits and further that such benefits are treated as an expense item within the regular General Fund budget. The problem is a difficult one, but I trust that all will make every effort to reach a reasonable solution.
This will confirm our conversation regarding the status of a job classification study for all classified personnel employed by the College of the Desert.
We have received two proposals for such a study and are recommending that the proposal of Mr. David Ziemer, Supervising Personnel Analyst for the Riverside County Personnel Department, be accepted. Mr. Ziemer's proposal is in the. amount of $3,680. and would include a complete survey of all job classifications together with interviews with selected classified employees and their supervisors. The administration and a committee of the classified employees will conduct a salary study in conjunction with the classification survey so that all data will be available at the time the budget for the succeeding year is under consideration.
We hope to hold several orientation sessions with classified personnel during the latter part of this summer and early fall and are confident that such sessions will serve to make the total survey more worthwhile.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
Show business celebritie!?~ommunity luminaries, concerts and real estate transactions are helping to make the development of the Cultural Arts Center a reality.
The center-, whlch ~crminated. as an idea 15 years ago at the cnllegc's i'nceptlOn and materialized in a master' plan in 1959, will have its tentative ground. breaking ceremony next year.
The first event of 1974 that helped contribute to the center's development fund was the Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians concert held Feb. 27. Income from the concert totalled $35,000 for a one·ni~ht stand. This was arlded to the previous two year's 1_otals of 887,OUU, makingagrand total of8122,000 in gross receipts for Waring's efforts. The sum was a happy addition to the $500,000 receive~ in donations throughout the past 11 years.
The next instance of aid came from the sale of the donated Coleman Wheeler property, located on the 13th fairway at the Thunderbird Golf Course. Ginger Rogers, noted film star, bought the property for 8120,000.
,But perhaps the most important event of all occurred on Feb. 18, when ihe founding meeting of the non.profit Friends of the Cultural Center, Inc., look place. Twenty-five founding trustees and executive committee officers were
,named.

John \V. Luhring was selected executive director of the Foundation. .
Under the guidance of these pers.onages, the founding committee is designed to help the center come to
fruition. The result -wili he a theater arts facility including a 3,000 seat auditorium (costing 86.5 million), it visual arts facility, which will house sculpt ute, painting and experimental modes of art (8750,000), and a music school and recital hall (81 million).
1t is to he located" on the southwpst section of the campus, on the corner of Avenne 44 and Monterey Ave. Space for parking of 2,000 cars is to be provided between the college ttring road)' and the bordering streets.
The top I'riorit y of the cenler will be the presentation of a season-tickt:t annual series of appearances of top artists and performing companies arollnd the world. Early contacts have indicated that arrangements for such" performers may be made in conjunction with officials of the Los An~e1es Mnsic Center.
Many artists such as Eugene Ormandy, " of the Philadelphia Orchestra have shown for, an interest in appearing.
However, the center will also be utilized for classroom purposes by the college. The auditorium will be used for smaller gatherings, both for classroom work and community gatherings by use of
. partitions. The slage will be available for use of live television shows and recordings.
Miss Greer Garson summed up the attitude of participating citizens towards the foundatio"n and the center by saying that H\Ve have taken care of our physical needs on the desert with the building of golf and tennis facilities. What is needed now is a facility to take care of all the citizens' needs in the aesthetic, the C\lltural. and even the spiritual."
Such things will he taken care of as long as this type of support, hoth spiritual and financial, is continued.

CWEE BRIDGES PRACTICAL !!School is a w'asle of time; you learn
more out in the Ireai' world" has been the kind of sentiment muttered by a wide variety of students. I
The basis for this complaint-which often stems from .a lack of practical experience in relation to one's maJor, rather than valid criticism of formal education-is being erased bX a, program called Co?perative Work Expenence Education (CWEE) under the direction of former business professor. David L. Wallace.
This program, begun in the fall, 1972, . has been expanding like a hot-air balloon to accommodate students with a practical eye to their future. Student enrollment in the program has jumped from 256 last fall to 377 this spring. Instructor-coordinator i nvol vemenl!' has leaped from 12 to 17 and nearly 200 employers are' participating . in the program.
CWEE "produces
quality education"
CWEE is designed to "provide quality education to students in pursuit of career goals" via cooperation between the college and employers, Wallace said. This is done through a carefully·planned syst.ern of supervisors, coordinators, and control class teachers.
The process usually begins when a student who is already employed or who has a potenllal job position in mind, approaches Wallace. A thorough discussion is conducted to determine the amount of time the student wants to invest (or take credits for) and ",hat his job objectives and tasks are.
lf the position is related to his major. (vocational), he is allowed to obtain up to four units of credit per semester fo(_ work experience (each credit being worth five
. hours of work.) He can ultimately achieve a total of 16 units of credit.
However, if it is hot related (general) , he is allowed up to three units per semester and can achieve only a total of six units. liThe reason for this is that the program is occupationally-oriented," Wallace explained. "It's primarily designed for students who want experience in their major field."

However, CWEE units aren't the only credits students carry. They must be taking at least an 8 unit load of classes at COD (including the CWEE units) to continue with the program.
Currently there are ten classifications under which vocational credits can be
) (': earned: agiiculture·horticultur.e~,
business-distributi vel busine~s·office, fire science, instructional aide-nursery school, hotel-motel, law enforcement, medical, psychology.sociology, and technology.
If a student wants to work in a vocation not specifically provided for ;by these classifications, he will be listed under the'
_ category closest to his type of work (for exam pie, i nu fIla lis m u nd er business-office). If enough :~iu'dents work in such a job and continue with it beyond one semester, a new classification containing it will be added.
After a student discusses his goals with Wallace and meets minimum requirements, he'must register both with the CWEE office and the registrar for credits. He is assi2ned to an instructor-coordinator with expertise in the student's job field. The coordinator helps the student write learning objectives and is involved with ffvisiting the student on the job twice each semester, counseling the student; .. and determining the student\ midterm and final letter grades." Wallace explained. ,
The supervisor-employer is formally contacted as to the CWEE procedures and purpose. And the student is assigned to a control" class teacher on campus who conducts a one hour per week class for discussion of problems and work
READY TO BEGIN another work task is Rhoda Mclaughlin, secretary, who is involved in health care.
The entire program has recei ved . favorable reaction from both students and employers. In an anonymous survey taken in one of the three control classes, students commented:
"I think that work experience is a very worthwhile p.rqgram. lt gives me the chance to learn some of the phases of my job that interest me most. '1 .~' .
"I feel I have gained a real foothold with res'pect to dealing with my employer and fellow workers. My honest thanks to all involved," and
"I think all colleges should have a progral!) like this."
Of the 200 employers. nearly 95 per cent have enthusia"sm for the program like Tom Robertson, fire captain, of the Palin,Springs Fire Dept .• who has said, "I feel that work experience has a lot of merit, not only in helping fire service personnel in attaining their educational goals, but also in helping them to form good habits in setting and completing objectives." '
- Dick Burwell, general manager of Mercier Distributing Co .• feels similarly. "I think the CWEE program at COD is great," he noted. HI have recruited three more employees to take classes at COD and, partidpate in work experience."
The favorable feedback. comes from a variety of benefits the CWEE has for each participant. For students, it provides relevant on-the-job training, allows credit for work in addition to pay; and increaseS the student's employability and earning power.
lt also shows the student if certain professions are right .for him.- "I've had
,students who have liked the job they were doing, but didn't like their major. So now they've switched to a more related major and they're happier ," Wallace said. 'Tve also had students who have discovered that their major is the right one because they enjoy the related work in their jobs."
~ For employers, the program maintains a flow of well-trained personnel and allows interaction with the program personnel by _ way of suggestions and comments. Some employers have been so impressed with the formulation of the learning objec'tive system that they have incorporated it into their own hiring practices.
And for the college and community, the program has strengthened the ties between them by showing community members that-the college intends to help with producing qualified potential employees.

A BLOODY ACCIDENT SCENE? No, but a group of students enrolled in ~-1edical Assisting I class which is taught
Saving a life
Last December a group of 40·odd members watched curiously as a battered car was shoved over a IOO·foot embankment at the Dry River section of Whitewater wash. With • thumping motion, it rolled down the ba~k until it skidded to a stop.
Two IIpas,sengers" were "trapped" inside by the mesh of metal and glass, sprawled in states of injury and unconsciousness. The group surveyed the hapless victims: then began a deliberate rescue effort while one woman shollted instructions.
After being examined for spine alignment, signs of shock and coronary condition, the limp passengers were strapped into rescue baskets, hoisted (Ip the embankment, and laid on an area with e~sy ambulance access.
"However, no ambulance speeded the two victims safely to the hospital. Instead, when the rescue effort was finished, they stood up, shook their clothes clean of sand and grinned at their Hsaviors.1I

And the accident was a demonstration in practical medical training for stud,ents of the Emer~ency Medical Technician I class.
This course, taught in the Department of NlII'singand limier the instruction of Mrs. Faye Castilleja, has been developed to meet a 1972 amendment of It he California Health and Safety

The three-unit class has been operating since fall, 1972, boasts 160 police, firemen, _,and ambulance drive~ graduat~s, and has heen callerl "fines( in Ihe slale" hy Ihe Hiverside Count y Healt h Department.
Dorothy Mottl"eiler, H.N" chairman of Ihe Deparlmenl of Nursing, said that the purpose of the course was to teach Ihe student how to maintairj an accident victim's life until he , , I comes under a doctor's ~are. ,
She sairl' that such knowledge of medical Ireatmenl' is essential since policemen and firemen c:?'pecially are the first public servants to reach an accident scene. .
, "The College of the Desert feels a keen responsibility to the community for providing the highest quality safety and health care it.is possible to develop," Mrs. Mottweiler" noted. "This program is part of the Hiverside COll_llt)',demonstralive projcd sponsored by the United Siates Deparlment of 'Health" Education and Welfare (HEW) io provide tealllS of trained personnel to be immediately available to accident victims in all areas." .
The primary focus of the course is automobile accidents although it does inc!.ude elements of mountain rescue operations. It involveS dramatic practical projects such as the Whitewater wash H~lCcident."· in whi'ch volunteer studeni "victims," 'Hecked autos (supplied by Mrs. Castilleja's husband, Frank), make· lip and rescue equipmenl (donated by the fire and police deparlments) are utilized.
It also entails lectures and 'other demonstrations b); several 'desert area' physicians, a minimim~ of ,10 hours of emerg~ncy rOO1I1 experience-observation at coop~rating Coach,ella' Valley hospitals. and work in cardio-pulmonary respscilaHoJI.
The final exam includes an exercise in triage which is the sorting of victims of a mass accident into a priority systcm of ' treatment. The diagnoses of victims are based on training 'gained from prior class sessions and from obs~rving the injuries simulated by volunteer ,student victims. These range
from made-up gaping wounds, hemorrhages and head injuries to fractured legs and arms. ,
1\<lr5. t\llottweiler deems the COurse and its activities successful, due to the "healitiruL(~ooperationH and respOIlSI~ frOlH the medical. police. fire and amhulancr. agendeR. Basc~~l on the donated time and equipment from these entities, the Department of Nursing plans H to condnue with the training program until each policeman, sheriff, fireman and ambulance driver in the area 'has taken the course and has receivcd experience in rescue techniques," she said.
Providing courses for
the educationally-minded
military person and veteran \Vith the rising concern over the
welfare of the veteran and military man, educational opportunides have become a prime consideration. COD has been allempting to alleviate the lack of available courses by establishing a campus at Twenty-nine Palms i\'larine Base.
This campus-which has become an impprtant facet of COD's future'--has -557 students enrolled this semester. Approximat~ly 291 are full·time students. ' And of the lotal, 298 are military personnel and 177 are military dependents. One hundred and sixty-five of the matriculated students are veterans. .
Sixty-seven students were graduated this January, and a similar number are expected to graduate this June.
The courses taught include a mixture of vocational and college preparatory subjebts. Associate of Arts degrees- are offered in the fields of law enfor,cement, fire, science, real estate, instru~t}~t;I~l, aide, business administration':: refrigeration and air conditioning, as well as auto mechanics. And a major in art is being added to the curriculum this year.
Courses for personal enjoyment are included in the curriculum, too. Adults can' learn to iden'tify desert w,iIdlife,,: appreciate .art, handle and ride a hor,se" carve a piece of wood, or converse in Spanish. ,
.. The campus also has its eye out for the adult who wants to complete his or her high school educalion. A program formulated in cooperation with the Morongo Unified School District provides an'opportunity for this. And the Pre-Discharge Education Program, developed for Marine Corps 'personnel. provides refresher and high school
-courses for nearly 400 students. .~,! ;
\'\lith the increasing number of retirees who are populating the hi-des'ert·· region-and the prevalence of military persomrel and families-the Twenty-nine Palms Campus _ promises to become a permanent fixture on COD's educational
.scene.
