none of the downhill skiing hassle
students in selected technical
areas, due to a saturation of the
facilities and the time available in
which to utilize them.
“The situation becomes more
and more acute as we approach
2000 students,” said. “It is too
late to worry about what to do
with them once they are here.”
Dr. Felder said that the biggest
reason for the improvements is
remaining competitive with other
area colleges in drawing students
to the TJC campus.
“It would be grossly unfair to

skied before. But Gunilla was
right because she had me skiing
in slightly more than an hour.
“Just let your body hang loose
like a sack of potatoes and bend
you knees and walk on the skis,
keeping your skis on the snow,”
she said.
And, once over the fear of
falling, I was cross-country skiing
after a fashion, pulling along with
the ski poles, gliding along on the
skis that functioned almost like
snow shoes.
It was simplicity itself — and
that explains part of the lure of
cross-country skiing — from New
transportation study group to
map future plans for parking and
traffic flow on the campus. The
study cost the college $1,500.
Upon the beginning of the out of the housing business,

problems in the funding so that
the plan may be administered
smoothly.
“Failure to find adequate
funding, in my opinion,” said Dr.
Felder, “would greatly restrict
the future growth of TJC.

The final product — the master

approved — will be bound and
copies distributed to all interested
persons.
But according to Dr. Felder,
between approval of the plan and
groundbreaking ceremonies
comes what may be the toughest
part of the project — funding.
Dr. Felder cites a number of
sources for gathering the more
than $4 million, but there are
three main categories of income
the school will look to for funding
for the project:
—government and private
grants and foundations;
—tax dollars; and
—student tuition and fees.
Dr. Felder admitted, however,
that the administration places
little stock in the generosity of
most private foundations and
even less in governmental grant deny anyone an opportunity for
programs, as they “haven’t been higher education. If we are not

The total pricetag for the

see future planning, expecially in

utilize the dwindling space
