Trustees restore $160,000 After facing long months on a tight budget, nine campus areas can breathe a little easier as the Governing Board took action February 28 to restore $160,000 to non-salary accounts. According to Gene Jackson, dean of Humanities, the allocation "is less than we needed, but we are glad to receive some money." The $160,000 became available after state legislators and Governor George Deukrnejian reached a compromise agreement to restore $96.6 million to community college budgets and to impose first-time ever tuition fees. The following areas receiving portions of the money are: Continuing Education: $7,000 will
go to expenses for the art gallery, equipment, supplies, repairs to the building and printing. Instructional Resources: $41,000 will go for equipment and library books. $31,000 allotted for equipment will go to purchasing two cameras and a new recording deck for the television studio; microfilm reader/ printer in the library; and equipment for KSM radio station and the telecommunications instructional program. Physical Education/ Athletics: $6,000 will go for equipment and health education. Science, Technology and Business: $40,000 will go to the purchase of 30 microscopes for biology, and other
equipment for botany and the science division . Vocational Education: $23,000 will go for equipment in the areas of vocational education, family and consumer sciences, graphic arts, auto and diesel mechanics; instructional supplies for construction crafts technology, graphic arts, industrial tech general and auto mechanics; and supplies for vocational education administration. Humanities: $22,275 will go for equipment in psychology, philosophy, and sociology, and reading. The bulk of this money will be used to purchase 12 microprocessors to be installed in the library.

Biennial smog check mandatory By Polly Filanc
In a world already complicated by bureaucratic red tape, California motorists can add a mandatory biennial smog check to the list. Beginning this month, the state and official smog stations are gearing up for the rigid inspection of 12 million autos, light trucks, and vans in five of California's smoggiest regions. These regions include San Diego County, South Coast Air Basin (Los Angeles, San Bernadino, Riverside, and Orange Counties), Ventura County, the San Francisco Bay area and Sacramento. Fresno County will also mandate vehicle inspections in September. Vehicles will be required to pass a smog check before obtaining a license every other year. Vehicles with a registration expiration date before May 8 will not be required to undergo inspections this year. But beginning March 19 the Department of Motor Vehicles will be sending out license renewal forms for vehicles with expiration dates of May 8 and later.
