In the novel volcanic eruptions and ancient rituals threaten geologists building an energy plant. Kishel is a faculty member in the Business/CIS Division. Some Cypress College students hadn t yet been born the last time the men s soccer team defeated a squad from Santa Ana College. The Chargers last won a game against then-named Rancho Santiago via forfeit in 1990. The losing streak was broken last Friday (September 28) when the Chargers upset the perennial powerhouses and defending conference champs Santa Ana with a tie at 1-1. Sophomore midfielder Andres Valencia scored the game-tying goal for Cypress. Freshman Megan Mulroney scored five goals in the Chargers 10-4 waterpolo victory last weekend against Santa Monica City. The win came last weekend with the team participating in the San Diego Mesa Tournament. The win was the Chargers first of the season. It came on Friday, September 28, the opening day of the tournament.

NOCCCD Trustees Approve District Budget for 2007-2008 Fiscal Year The North Orange County Community College District 2007-08 budget was adopted by the Board of Trustees following a September 25 public hearing. The new budget includes $165,757,809 in revenues and $161,417,060 in expenses, leaving $4,340,749 in funds that are not yet allocated for 2007-08. Outstanding issues to which these unallocated funds may be applied during the year include: salary increases, retiree benefits, Maintenance and Operations staffing analysis for new facilities, and other construction project expenses. The new District budget compares to $155,245,523 in revenues, $146,098,659 in expenses, and $9,146,864 in unallocated funds at the beginning of 2006-07. Unallocated funds were much larger last year because more one-time funds were provided to the state s community college districts in 2006-07; the NOCCCD received approximately $8.5 million in total one-time funds last year, compared to about $1 million this year. Claudette Dain, District Director, Fiscal Affairs, and Rodrigo L. Garcia, District Manager, Fiscal Affairs reported during the public hearing that, while state allocations for 2007-08 are not as favorable as in the past few years, the NOCCCD budget is still good overall. They also reported that student enrollment continues to be a dominant factor in determining state allocations to the community college districts. For the NOCCCD, the 2007-08 budget is based on a fulltime equivalent students (FTES) target of 35,259.45. This represents District-wide growth of 1.25% over the past year when the District moved from a stabilization mode into a growth mode by increasing enrollment at each campus again.
