              On Campus
FOR THE UC SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY
January 27, 1982
[Photograph] The UC Regents, at their January
meeting, approved the appointment
of Ralph C. Guzman, professor of politics and community studies, as Provost of Merrill College. Guzman will
take over the provostship from George
Von der Muhll, who announced his
resignation last fall. Von der Muhll
will continue as associate professor of
politics and fellow of Merrill College.
Personnel offices
merge into one
As of the beginning of this
quarter, the Staff Personnel
Office and the Academic Office
have been merged into a single
operation, the Personnel Office,
under the direction of Robert Bickal,
manager of personnel and labor
relations. The new Personnel Office
will report to the Academic Chancellor, John Marcum.
Barbara Nielsen, formerly the
coordinator of academic personnel,
has resigned in order to take a position with the American Association
of University Professors in San
Francisco. Her place as coordinator
of Academic Personnel in the newly
combined office has been taken on
an interim basis by Barbara Brogan.
The two branches will continue to
operate out of their separate offices—
the Staff Personnel arm in Communications, x2011, and the Academic Personnel arm in McHenry
Library. x4587.
Wildest hopes
exceeded
The final results from the 1981
Campus United Way Drive are
in, and UCSC's staff and faculty have succeeded in pledging
more than was originally expected
or aimed for. With a goal of $25,000,
a little over 600 employees donated
more than $26,600, an 18% increase over last year. For the second
time, united Way campaigners prepared a pledge card so that employees could arrange a simple payroll
deduction.
Campaign chair Lou Fackler reports that UCSC was the biggest
contributor in the "public service"
institution category. With almost
$56,500 raised in this division,
UCSC's contribution of $26,600
was almost half of the total.
Getting ready for
The Big One
Gummed labels with the campus emergency phone number (x2345) should be widely
distributed on campus phones,
especially public-access and hallway
phones. Do yourself and your
co-workers a favor by checking your
building to see which phones need
stickers.
Stickers are available by calling
the Telecommunications Office,
x2168. The office will also supply, if
needed, stickers giving the emergency number to use when calling
from a private phone (429-2345).
Women's Brown
Bag lunch series
Two speakers are scheduled for
the February Brown Bag lunch
series. Olga Euben. Associate
Director of Admissions, will speak
about her career on Tuesday, February 2, 1982. Susan Burcaw, Executive Assistant to the Chancellor,
will speak on Tuesday, February 16,
1982. These informal gatherings
are held in Room 101 of Classroom
Unit I (Women's Re-Entry Center).
All staff women are invited to attend.
Volunteers
needed in
S.L. Valley
The "disaster" is by no means
over for many residents in the
San Lorenzo Valley, who are
still digging out the debris and mud
left by January's storm and flood.
Felton's Red Cross chapter, headquartered at St. John's Church in
Felton, still needs volunteers to help
in the digging-out effort and other
forms of clean-up. You don't have to
be big and brawny—just available.
The Red Cross is also seeking donations of canned goods, paper goods,
and money. If you can help, please
call 335-9598.
On Campus and
Staff Personnel
Notes merged
Beginning with this current
issue, On Campus and Staff
personnel Notes are merging
into a weekly publication, which will
include general-interest articles as
well as specific Personnel Office
information. The decision to merge
the two publications and increase
the publication schedule was made
so that campus news could be
communicated on a regular basis
through one central campus
publication.
Units interested in submitting
newsworthy items should submit
articles to the Editor, On Campus.
Public Information Office. Deadline
for copy is Friday, 5 p.m. Articles
should be double-spaced and should
include the name and a contact
phone number of the article writer.
