Communication key to understandin Too fast a growth many times brings with it a communication gap that is difficult to over- come. That's the way it was at HCC. A committee, headed by Bill Rust, sought the help of the student body and faculty by posing perti- nent questions pertaining to HCC to them and they responded by filling out the forms and providing some of the answers. The publica- tion ofthe Communique every week, in addi- tion to the many brochures, news releases, and the catalogue formed the background to the work of the communications office with Vicki Van Eepoel and Paul Griscti at the helm, For students there was another kind of com- munication besides getting to know one another and what was going on at various campuses and that was communicating with professors through subject matter. There was the hassle of cramming and taking tests to prove that they had acquired the knowledge necessary to pass. And finally, the Health Fair communicated to those in attendance the desire of the col- lege to be of service. s 2 S S 2 I if Ct , ,. , ,. L -s -tw, -Q -- S- -5 at . 5 - ' f1fSsasf2gsi?.
