He directs the work, super- vises instruction and provides leadership for the improvement of all members of the instr- uctional staff and other employees of the college. Student welfare is a big responsibility of Dr. Manor ' s.

He recommends rules and regulations for admitting, classifying, pro- moting and graduating stu- dents at P.B.J.C. Rules pertaining to proper con- trol, discipline and expul- sion or suspension of stu- dents also fall under Dr. Manor ' s jurisdiction.

I XEKJHIiOKS South Center Students at Palm Beach Junior Colleges ' three other campuses may not know this, but since the South Center came into existence in Decem- ber 1973 there has been a well kept secret at the Boca Raton campus that ' s made ]C South a unique educa- tional institution. Accounting for the success of this satellite campus are two terms called access and availability. And these are accomplished through cooperation wi- th programs and facilities of JC and Florida Atlantic University (FAU). Access and availability enables JC South students (they get special per- mission on their ID cards) to utilize and take advantage of state university facilities without having to travel to the main campus at Lake Worth in which case the FAU facilities are often superior. Spelled out are a 750,000 vol. lib- rary that provides rich resources to facilitate their studies, athletic fields, a pool, university center complete with Rathskellar and game rooms, Boca Raton Airport located on FAU campus and yes even dormitories to accomodate the South students. But there is a lot more than meets the eye. During the day when the JC courses are held in the FAU buildings the South student develops a keen awareness of academics. In his travels during the course of a day he meets many upper division contacts and pro- fessors which will enrich his educa- tional output. With the many advantages the county ' s second largest city, Boca Raton, and that a state university has to offer it is no wonder why JC South |s fastly becoming the leader among P.B.J.C. ' s outlying campuses. Patrick Heffernan Promoting the general welfare of the South Center student is the purpose of the JC South Student Advisory Board (SAB).
