Responsible for all aspects of WPC that relate to teaching and learning, Dr. Mahoney makes the decisions on faculty appointments, tenure and program development. Then his choices are passed on to Dr. McKeefery. The job, says Dr. Mahoney, Is obvi- ously fascinating or, Id be a nut to stay in it. ' At WPC for two years now. Dr. Mahoney feels that the college and New Jersey Higher Education has much potential. He said, Most of New Jersey ' s educational future Is still ahead. ' Mahoney also doubles as a profes- sor teaching Writing Effective Prose and a seminar in Dante. Under Mr. Zanfino ' s domain are the Computer Services. Information Services. Maintenance, Security, Alumni, Federal grants and all the business and finance functions of the college. Mr. Zanfino deals with pur- chasing, budgets, payment, and pay- rolls. This past college year WPC ' s orig- inal budget was 18 million dollars. The Governor slashed the budget by another million and a half, and after the tax package, the WPC budget was whittled down to I 6 million. Mr. Zanfino would like to see full funding but with present economic measures he realizes that full funding is impossible. He says WPC is hold- ing positions open rather than cut . . . We hope to restore the posi- tions so we won ' t be hurt perma- nently. We don ' t run the programs. We just make the money available. 208
