UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ CURRENTS Published by the Office of University Advancement for the UCSC community /Spring 1992 'Interim' title removed as UC Regents appoint Karl Pister the campus's sixth chancellor Karl S. Pister became the sixth chancellor of UCSC on April 1 after serving as interim head of the campus since last August. Acting on UC President David P. Gardner's recommendation, the university's Board of Regents approved the appointment March 20 at the board's business meeting at UCLA. Pister, 66, who was asked by Gardner to administer the campus on an interim basis after a long and distinguished career as a faculty member and administrator at UC Berkeley, is "eminently qualified to lead the Santa Cruz campus," UC's president said. Gardner added that he based his recommendation on Pister's "sterling performance during his tenure as interim chancellor and the high esteem with which he is regarded by all sectors of the campus community, --- [Photograph] Karl Pister In Perspective on page 6, Chancellor Pister discusses his goals for UCSC and the challenges the campus will face during this decade. --- his fellow chancellors, and the Santa Cruz community." Meredith J. Khachigian, chair of the Board of Regents, said: "I have great respect and admiration for Dr. Pister, as does the entire Board of Regents. We have benefitted from his knowledge and insight these past eight months and so has the Santa Cruz campus and its community. We congratulate Chancellor Pister and welcome the opportunity to work with him as he continues his stewardship of UC Santa Cruz." "I have enjoyed my brief time as 'interim' and agreed to accept the appointment in response to the warm welcome and support the campus community has given me," Pister said. "I look forward with pleasure to continuing the work we have begun together in planning for the future of UCSC." —Rick Malaspina Passage of Proposition 153 deemed essential to UCSC's future A $900 million bond measure for higher education, crucial to the building program planned for the University of California, will go before California voters on June 2. The measure, Proposition 153, is projected to fund nearly 60 percent of UC's building projects during the next two years. If approved by a majority of California voters, Proposition 153 would provide the $900 million in general obligation bonds for UC, California State University, and community college projects. Advocates say that, in addition to benefitting higher education, the measure would boost construction industry jobs that have been hard hit by the recession and help spur the state's economic recovery. "Proposition 153 is a strong commitment to maintaining and enhancing the preeminence of California's system of public higher education," said UC President David P. Gardner. "The bond- funded projects will create jobs, provide much-needed teaching and research facilities, and contribute immeasurably to California's ongoing need for a well-trained, competitive work force." Currently in Governor Wilson's proposed 1992-93 capital budget, portions of five projects at UCSC would be funded by Proposition 153 bonds. Some $25,782,000 in funds are at stake for the following projects: College Ten A total of $12,432,000 in construction funds is earmarked for the new college's academic facilities.

The Octagon exhibit is presented by the Art Museum of Santa Cruz County. Two Adams portfolios are being shown: "Fiat Lux," at the Sesnon; and "The Museum Set," at the Octagon. "Fiat Lux" is a collection of photographs taken on the nine UC campuses and at UC research field stations.
